There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning Chapter 521

  Chapter 521 Ship "Diablo"

  Lin Yao's independent office.

garbage can.

  The plastic bag containing the takeaway box lay quietly.

   And Lin Yao herself was sitting on a chair, explaining to Mu Wanqing the three decisions she made just now.

  Mu Wanqing quickly understood the first two.

   On the contrary, it is the last mobile game department.

  Lin Yao took the most time to explain.

  “Currently, the mobile game department does not invest too much resources. The games on the planning book are basically very small casual games, and it is not difficult to make them.

   Rather than being an independent department, it is more like a small game that the Switch department took time to make. "

Lin Yao crumpled up the paper towels in her hand, and then continued to explain: "In the future, when the time is ripe, this department will recruit people separately, so that it will not affect the independence of the mainframe department and the PC department, and it will also allow qualified PCs to recruit people." The department and the console department can retain a considerable right to speak in the coming mobile Internet era, and it can also keep the game projects on the PC side and the console side from being affected.

  Of course, in order to prevent the three departments from becoming estranged and later turned into confrontation, the real mobile games in the early stage will be developed separately by the host PC department, with dual-terminal login as the mainstay. "

"However, this matter is not urgent. The first is the collecting card game derived from "World of Warcraft", that is, the collecting card game. Before the launch of "World of Warcraft", there is no need to establish the project so quickly. In addition On the one hand, there are certain technical problems in the mobile version of "Fantasy OL", which can complete tasks such as Shimen and running repairs on the mobile phone, so it is not in the plan.

  I plan to wait until all the games in this carnival are released before starting the project. Now the game in the planning book is considered as practice. "

  In fact, the most profitable mobile game in the early stage of the mobile Internet, or the mobile game that makes more money, is actually a card game.

but.

  Lin Yao did not intend to make this type of game at the beginning, mainly because the impact on the market was too great, and it was too easy to change the skin.

   Gameplay is also very general.

  Although "Hearthstone" can be regarded as drawing cards, it is still a "technical game", isn't it?

   "So, the mobile game department established this time... is similar to seeds?"

  Mu Wanqing thought for a while and asked.

"Um."

Lin Yao nodded: "It's similar to seeds, that's why I said that except for those who have been transferred, interested staff can participate. Although it is a mobile online game, some small-scale stand-alone games will eventually become more popular as time goes by. , It doesn't necessarily mean that you can't go to the mobile terminal. It's a good thing that the staff are interested in the new platform, and they won't be idle.

In addition, in fact, I still have the idea of ​​​​establishing a software department, but this has nothing to do with games. I can only recruit externally. Let's see if there is a suitable company for the subsequent release of mobile phones. It may be faster if we directly acquire . Of course, school recruitment is probably a good way. "

"Um…"

   Mu Wanqing looked at the planning book in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Lin Yao, are you really confident in the mobile terminal? Currently, the mobile terminal is mixed with good and evil..."

  She seemed a little worried that Lin Yao would fall too badly because she was too confident.

   After all, according to the plan that Lin Yao just said.

   The investment is not small.

  Lin Yao was slightly taken aback when she heard the words, and then asked with a smile, "Do you believe me?"

"Believe."

  Mu Wanqing nodded without hesitation.

   "That's fine."

Lin Yao threw away the crumpled tissue in her hand, then stood up, stretched out her hand and smoothed her long hair: "I'm not blindly confident, Miss Mu, as long as our mobile phone can release, I think the future I imagined will come. .

  Although... I don't like that future much, but remember what I told you after the MOBA project was released? We are the shipbuilders of the new era! As the captain, I will drive the ship until the hull rots and sinks! Now a new continent has been discovered. Although I don't know if it can carry us, let's break into it first! "

Speaking of which.

  Lin Yao paused, and briskly came to Mu Wanqing, and continued: "If you really want me to give up, I will not be reconciled, first officer!"

  Mu Wanqing: "...first mate?"

   "I am the captain."

  Lin Yao stretched out her slender and fair fingers, pointed at herself, and then patted Mu Wanqing's shoulder: "Then what is it if you are not the chief mate?"

"unless."

  Lin Yao suddenly parted her plump and slender thighs, sat down on Mu Wanqing's thighs, then looked at her bright and fair face, showed a narrow expression, and said, "You want to be a boat."

   "...Why not you?" Mu Wanqing was silent for a moment, before making a bold suggestion.

  Lin Yao pinched Mu Wanqing's soft face with both hands, and said ferociously: "I treat you as a friend, and you want to drive me... Bah, you treat me like a boat?"

   "Can't you?"

  Mu Wanqing held Lin Yao's slender waist, and suddenly spoke in a vague way.

   "...Well, it depends."

  Lin Yao let go of Mu Wanqing's cheek, leaned forward, rested her snow-white chin on her shoulder, and whispered.

  The warm breath lingered in his ears.

  Mu Wanqing's delicate body immediately became a little stiff.

what.

  Lin Yao felt something in a position that Mu Wanqing couldn't see, and showed an evil smile.

  The end of June.

  Linmu Studio began to frequently launch actions in fields outside the game.

  What wholly acquired the mobile phone factory, set up a special forest research room, merged the original switch hardware department into the research room, and established a full-process hardware team...

  There is even more important...Linmu Studio announced that it will invest 3% of its revenue in research and development, and gradually increase it.

   In short.

   True and false, a lot of news.

  However, not many people pay attention to this.

   Or to be more precise, there are not many people in the industry who pay attention.

  The game media and players are very concerned.

  Game media is mostly for gags.

  As for the players, they are mainly worried that Linmu Studio is going crazy all the way, forgetting the foundation of their foothold-games, and they are also curious about what Lin Yao wants to do.

  But Lin Yao's colleagues can't take care of it for the time being.

  As Li Guangsheng said, the biggest trouble now is the games of Linmu Studio, not the illusory future. What do you say the future can be expected, but it can't be expected!

  Limwood Studio wants to burn money, that's their business!

   Could it be that they can produce results in a short time after burning money?

   I'm afraid I'm not dreaming!

   This is the general thinking of Lin Yao's game colleagues.

   And YouMedia was acquired, and several domestic mobile phone leaders are also aware of it.

   But just glance at it and ignore it.

   They don't understand the game.

   But the mobile phone, relying on the foundation of Youmedia, they really didn't pay attention to it, and the amount of investment was just like that.

  And even if YouMedia's new financial backer, the Linmu studio behind it really spared no expense to develop mobile phones, and in the end it was not the younger brother of Jiaming Alliance.

   is nothing more than a speculator who smells the future.

  This is what they say about Wood Studio.

at last.

   On the contrary, many suppliers were frightened by the courage of Linmu Studio, because some suppliers guessed that the acquired Youmedia seems to plan to adapt the next generation of communication technology to the next mobile phone.

   Be the first to eat a crab!

have to say.

   Really commendable courage.

  Even the leaders are still studying this, so this little-known little character dares to go directly.

certainly.

  These... have little to do with the players at the moment.

   After a few days of discussion, it was forgotten.

  Currently, what players are most interested in is Diablo, which left a deep impression on them at the carnival.

  Recently, this game seems to have stepped up its announcement.

  Although there is no carnival discount BUFF, this game still attracts a large number of players with its unique temperament and gothic style.

   And as a double-logged game.

  Whether it is a player on the PC side or a player on the host side, they can play, which further increases the player base.

  In the end, the predicted sales of "Diablo" easily exceeded 4 million without the game being unlocked, approaching 5 million.

  It is higher than the three-day sales of the previous two games.

  The entire game circle is paying attention to this game.

   Including Frank.

  Because even if he doesn't want to admit it, the facts are in front of him, and Gameplayer is already on the verge of falling apart.

  The tree carnival is the incentive.

  Although I don't know whether “Diablo” will be the last straw to overwhelm Gameplayer, but the game is really going to be successful, and the impact will definitely not be small.

  But Linmu Studio has been unwilling to let go of the game's share...

  He really doesn't want to go back with his tail between his legs!

   What the hell.

  Geber Company is also a European and American company, with countless game IPs. Logically speaking, shouldn't the platform ask for itself?

  Why did you ask for the platform in turn?

  What's the point?

  Frank really couldn't swallow this breath!

  Hint is considered extreme.

   Even if you drop 10%!

  10%!

  The 10% reduction is considered a face-saving for everyone! We can still talk slowly! If it fits, Gilber & Co. will go back!

   Directly reply that the commission has nothing to do with Gilber Company.

   Can't understand the hint?

   Really confident enough! That's crazy enough!

But actually.

   What annoys him the most.

   Not yet.

   But Linmu Studio really has this capital arrogance.

  Because even without Gilbert and Dreamland, players still tend to choose the Vaporwave game platform to play PC-side games.

  Because of the community, because of the network, because the game is more palatable, because there are many players...

  The reasons given by the players are all kinds of strange.

  But no matter how the Gameplayer is changed, how to change according to the opinions of the players, the players will still go to the Vaporwave game platform.

   Recently, Frank finally figured it out.

   The reason given by the player is simply wrong!

  The biggest reason they choose the Vaporwave game platform is because of inertia! Because of the game library! As well as the continuous release of first-party games by Forest Studio!

  As long as their account games don't disappear, the Vaporwave game platform that has formed a unique community culture first will be more attractive to them.

  And Linmu Studio continues to release high-quality first-party games, which will further fill the game library of players, making it more and more difficult for them to give up the Vaporwave platform.

  In the last year alone, how many games did Linmu Studio launch?

   They are just like sows!

   Even if some players are not interested in these games, what about other players? There will always be someone interested, right?

  How many games has Linmu Studio launched in the past few years?

  Which player doesn't have a few first-party games from Forest Studio in their game library?

  How many memories does the Vaporwave platform's constantly improving and mature game evaluation mechanism leave for players?

  This is why players choose the Vaporwave platform!

  Although Vaporwave has not formed a monopoly, just like Gameplayer, anyone can challenge a wave decently, but as long as they don't kill themselves, they will never lose!

  After getting this conclusion.

   Frank is really desperate.

  So he really wanted Diablo to fail.

really hope!

  Although he knew that his wish never came true...

  He is also very clear that the failure of a game cannot affect the foundation of the Vaporwave platform.

   But if things go on like this, if Linmu Studio succeeds one game after another, he really doesn't have the confidence to make a Gameplayer platform...

   Even if one fails!

   One!

   Then he can also have the confidence to negotiate with Linmu Studio, and he can also have the confidence to continue to operate Gameplayer!

   And this time.

  He really thinks he has a chance!

real.

  Because the style of "Diablo" is too unique this time, and the gameplay disclosed is also too special, there is no previous successful work.

   Unlike FPS, there are similar games.

   "Call of Duty" just made the FPS script plot to the extreme.

  But except for the players who have tried Diablo, no one knows what it is like, and no one knows whether it is suitable for them.

  Now the enthusiasm of the players is high, and under the largest announcement of Linmu Studio, all players are full of expectations for this game.

  What if Forest Woods' most daring game isn't for everyone?

  That would really turn over.

  Hmm...he can only think so.

   Apart from this, there is no other way.

  And this time, Frank does not intend to listen to others bragging about the game, but to see how others evaluate the game.

  He wants to play in person.

   Time, coming soon to July 2nd.

   "Don't bother me if there's nothing else."

  Frank explained to the secretary, and after the secretary left, he turned his attention to the screen again.

   On the screen, there is a game forum.

  The various posts that the players posted about looking forward to it were a bit eye-catching.

   But he can't help it.

today.

   It was the day when Linmu Studio's "Diablo" was released.

   Many players predict that the pre-sale sales of this game may exceed 5 million copies.

   So it is not surprising that there will be such a grand event.

  After all, the players have been looking forward to it for so long.

  Frank looked at the forum for a while, and found that no player was worried about the quality of the game, and he became more and more irritable.

  Finally cursed and closed the page directly, waiting patiently for the game to be unlocked.

   He has preloaded the game.

  He wants to test this game himself!

   North America Eastern time zone, six o'clock in the evening.

  The game is officially unlocked.

  Frank took a deep breath, then clicked on the game directly.

   Loading, logo appears, black screen, game screen jumps out.

   Then.

  The name of the game appears in the center of the screen—

  Diablo!

   According to the prompt, press any key.

  A character appeared in the center of the screen, it was a strong man holding a heavy ax and wearing heavy armor.

  He stood in a lonely place filled with fog.

   Occupation is barbarian.

   This is the career selection page.

   On the left is the selection menu for occupation and gender, and on the right is an introduction about the selected occupation.

at the same time.

  The cool and deep background music rang as the selection page popped up.

   Immediately raised the sense of substitution.

  Frank looked at the screen, looked at the introductions of several professions, then chose a magician, entered the name, and clicked directly to start.

   He doesn't care how many occupations there are.

  It doesn't matter what his occupation is.

  He didn't come to play the game, he came to criticize, or to make sure that this game is not suitable for everyone.

  So he didn't spend much thought on creating the page, and started the game directly.

   And the game starts.

   are two sections of CG.

  A CG of the first act.

  A personal CG of a magician.

   But in the first part of the CG, Frank saw half of it, saw the army of **** coming, Leah and his uncle Kane were hit by a meteorite in the church, so he didn't continue watching.

  He skipped the CG impatiently.

  He's not here to play games!

  Frank frantically presses the ESC key.

soon.

  He entered the game directly.

  As for the official game screen, the most conspicuous one is of course the UI below the game.

  Two circular containers, one filled with red liquid, the other filled with energy similar to starlight.

   represent life value and arcane value respectively.

   In the middle, there are options such as the skill bar and equipment items.

  Left mouse button to move, right mouse button to shoot.

  The picture in the center, although it is 3D, cannot adjust the angle of view at will.

  It is indeed different from ordinary 3A games.

   On the contrary, it is a bit like an online game.

  Frank evaluated the game while manipulating the character to move forward.

soon.

   The enemy appears.

  It was a ragged, zombie-like humanoid creature.

   One tap to die.

  Frank goes all the way, using the right mouse button along the way to easily eliminate the enemies.

   Then, an idea popped up.

-That's it?

  The environment atmosphere is created well.

   Broken limbs, piles of burning corpses, frightened crows, diffuse fog...

   But atmosphere is one aspect, and play is another aspect.

  Frank really didn't feel any gameplay...

   Go to the gate of the town, according to the information of the captain of the gatekeeper, help them overthrow the undead crawling out of the ground, and then look for Leah who appeared in the CG.

  The whole process is very smooth.

   There is no difficulty at all.

  Frank was even promoted to a level at the gate of the town.

   Is that all?

   What kind of game is this? Invincible flow?

   Players get tired of playing for a while?

  The idea just now came to Frank's mind again, frowning, he walked into the town named New Tristram.

  Although he feels that he has almost no combat experience, he has to admire the art of Linmu Studio...

  It's so emotional.

  While observing the town created by the forest workshop, Frank found Leah, the survivor after the meteorite fell, according to the task reminder, and learned more and more news about the undead from him.

Then.

  The magician played by Frank makes a promise to protect the town.

  He returned to the exit of the town, and under the guidance of the captain of the guard, went to the ruins to eliminate the corpse mother.

  The plot does not have the ultimate script performance effect like "Call of Duty".

very common.

  Basically, after one task is completed, the next task will come out.

   Difficulty No.

  Gameplay is not there either.

  The plot is not the type of "Call of Duty".

   This made Frank breathe a sigh of relief.

   However, he intends to take another look.

  He controls the characters and embarks on a journey to eliminate the corpse mother.

   And the subsequent battle of the game, as he expected...

   While moving the character with the mouse, avoid enemy attacks.

  The player can attack the enemy by pressing the left and right buttons of the mouse.

the whole process.

  Easy enough to be played by his grandma...

  Especially after reaching level 2, the magician unlocks a new skill—Frost Ray.

   This skill is as described.

  Press and hold the right button.

  The magician will launch a pure frost ray, during which he can move the mouse to attack at 360 degrees...

   Shoot whoever dies.

   Also has its own deceleration!

Oh my God!

   See this scene.

   Frank was really ecstatic.

  He thinks this way of playing is too outrageous! Although he saw that the game had difficulty options at the beginning, would ordinary players really choose the difficulty at the beginning?

  The first time you enter the game, you usually choose the most common difficulty at the beginning, right?

  In normal difficulty, it is basically a one-hit kill. What is the playability of this?

   Directly go all the way to the frost ray, just push horizontally.

   Is there gameplay?

   Doesn't this player kill the game?

  Currently, playing until now, Frank's biggest feeling is that it is not so much a 3A masterpiece as it is more like a small game made by a small company!

   Except art.

  Because whether it is the atmosphere, the gothic art style, or the special effects of the attack, the scattered limbs of the enemy when it is hit and the large-scale **** picture are very immersive.

   Frank admits this.

   But the combat part of the game is too childish.

   Players will get bored quickly.

   Frank is sure!

  He suddenly looked forward to it.

  Looking forward to the performances of the following players.

   I guess it will be exciting, right?

   "Huh? Lost equipment?"

   At this time.

  Frank was in Old Tristram, thinking wildly, while pushing the monsters on the map with frost rays according to the task.

   One of the monsters.

   Suddenly there was a ding-dong sound, and gold coins and a piece of equipment fell.

  Frank picked up the dropped equipment, and then opened the inventory. Looking at the character who had nothing equipped, he subconsciously dragged the dropped equipment to the equipment bar.

   Then subconsciously glanced at the attributes of the equipment and his own character attributes.

   But soon.

  He just shook his head.

  I didn't come to play games.

   What do you care about these things.

   I guess it will get boring after a while.

  With such thoughts in mind, Frank smiled and moved on.

   Soon, he found the game's first boss.

   As expected.

   Still as simple as that.

  Press and hold the Frost Ray of the right mouse button directly, and the opponent's blood bar will return to zero.

Hahaha.

   Smash it!

  Limwood Studios screwed up!

  Frank saw the BOSS die a few times, he was stunned, and then became more and more excited.

  He followed the mission back to town.

  At the same time, the premonition that this game will be sprayed is getting stronger and stronger.

   But soon.

  He was attracted by the game reminder.

   New magician skills are unlocked.

  The mission of the corpse mother was completed, and he was rewarded with a piece of equipment.

   "Magic Bow, +110% damage, +19.6% healing. New skill...Shock wave. No, I will get tired of doing it so carefully."

  Frank subconsciously looked carefully at the description of the attributes and skills of the equipment.

   Diablo's skill slots are six in total, 1234 four buttons, and then there are two left and right mouse buttons.

  But one skill slot can switch four skills.

  The game seems to require players to make their own choices and what skills to choose.

  The unlocking of skills will be opened one by one according to the player's level.

  After reaching level six, each skill will have a corresponding bonus rune.

at this time.

  Frank still doesn't think this horizontal pushing combat system is interesting.

only.

  He was playing around, and suddenly wanted to unlock those unlocked skills.

  At the same time, I want to see what equipment will be dropped by the monsters in the game later...

   This idea came out of nowhere.

   And soon.

  Frank realized what was going on, and shook off the extra thoughts.

   The combat system is definitely boring.

   This is beyond doubt.

  As long as you can still push horizontally, you will soon get tired of it.

   Absolutely, what kind of equipment, skill matching is just icing on the cake.

   It depends on when you get tired of crooked.

Um…

  With this in mind, Frank continued to play.

   Tap tap.

  The dense sound of mouse buttons began to echo in Frank's office...

   And outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office.

  The scenery is constantly changing.

  The sun goes down.

  The sky is full of colorful clouds.

   Next.

  The last ray of light on the horizon disappears.

   Night falls...

   Tap tap.

  But the rattling sound of mouse buttons in Frank's office still didn't stop.

Occasionally.

  The mouse button sound will stop.

   But it wasn't that Frank stopped the game, it was because the CG played.

  After the CG broadcast.

soon.

   The clicking sound of the button will sound again.

  Outside the office door.

  Frank's secretary was quietly handling her own affairs, not curious about what her boss was doing at the moment.

   It wasn't until she finished dealing with her own affairs that she felt a little strange that Frank hadn't come out yet.

  But she didn't know what happened, and she didn't dare to disturb Frank rashly, so she could only wait quietly.

almost.

   Frank should be leaving get off work soon.

   At that time, I can go back by myself...

  The secretary thought so, and touched the fish quietly.

Then.

   Time continues to pass.

   Pata.

  In the office area outside the independent office, there was the sound of closing the shutters.

  The staff have all left.

  The lights are turned off.

   This made the secretary wake up suddenly, looked outside, and then looked at the time.

  It's almost ten o'clock.

  Frank usually left at this time, why hasn't he come out yet?

   Did you miss it?

  The secretary suspected that he missed it when he was touching the fish, but he took a look inside through the frosted glass.

  Frank's office light was still on.

What's going on today?

  The secretary was even more puzzled.

  She sat where she was, unable to fish anymore, fidgeting, and wanted to go back.

   But Frank is still there.

  She can only wait patiently.

   Fidgeting for a while, watching the time go by, the secretary saw that Frank's office was still quiet.

   Finally couldn't sit still.

  She stood up, hesitated for a moment, and knocked lightly on the door.

   dong dong.

   Then, she pushed open the door directly.

   "Boss, are you still there—"

  The secretary poked his head in and was about to ask a question.

   But the words are not finished yet.

  She saw Frank.

   At the moment.

  Frank is sitting in front of the computer, leaning forward slightly, the colorful light on the screen is reflected on his face, making his face colorful...

   And the ashtray next to him, and half a burning cigar.

   But it seems that Frank hasn't touched it for a long time.

  On the ashtray, a long piece of ashes.

   And followed the secretary to make a sound.

  Frank suddenly came back to his senses. He looked up at the door with a surprised expression on his face and a trace of doubt at the same time: "Didn't you say don't bother me?"

   "Sorry, boss... It's a bit late, the staff have all left, I thought you weren't here, so I came in to have a look."

  The secretary saw that Frank was still there and didn't know what he was doing, so he could only remind him gently.

  Frank was stunned when he heard the secretary's words, then he glanced at the level 30 magician on his screen, and at the legendary helmet Leoric's crown he had just created, and fell into deep thought.

   After a while, he raised his head again and asked, "... What time is it?"

   "Ten thirty." The secretary replied.

  Frank heard the words, opened his mouth slightly, and stayed for a long time.

  Finally, he glanced at the screen again, then silently picked up the cigar on the ashtray, took a deep breath, let the smoke fill his mouth, and exhaled slowly.

   Then, the whole person slumped back on the chair.

   a little lonely...

   "Boss..." the secretary spoke at the right time.

   "Go back."

  Frank waved his hand directly, and said with a look of lovelessness: "You leave me alone..."
