Chapter 113: Gun-grabbing gameplay
After Lin Yao finished the original painting, she began to think about the next event.
It is inevitable for online games to hold events.
It is November now, and the most important day of the year is coming soon. It is time to prepare.
There is nothing much to say about the event of "Fantasy OL". Chen Qiuwen is already preparing.
Lin Yao does not plan to intervene for the time being. She is mainly considering the event of "Breakout".
"Events..."
Lin Yao leaned back in the chair, raised her snow-white chin and looked at the ceiling.
Perhaps because she was also a player.
The first thing she thought of was to make a fun gameplay.
Of course.
This idea was quickly abandoned by her.
Now the blasting mode and ghost mode are being produced in an amazing way, and there is no need to make new modes.
Is it really just a pure box opening event?
It feels boring.
Of course it is fun to make money.
But she plans to do an event that players can also have fun.
What to do?
Zombies become maids? It feels too funny.
Hmm...
Lin Yao looked at the ceiling for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she thought of a gameplay that is more interesting than zombies turning into maids.
She sat up in a flash, her beautiful eyes shining, and she took out the paper beside her and started drawing immediately.
Gradually.
Lin Yao's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Until Mu Wanqing came over.
"Lin Yao."
"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
Lin Yao quickly sketched the new gun skin on the drawing paper, then looked at it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and then turned back: "Miss Mu."
Seeing that she was done, Mu Wanqing immediately reported: "Zhang Jianghu said he wanted to make another appointment to meet."
Lin Yao thought about it and gave a date: "The day after tomorrow, then you can just reply to him like this, and let him decide when to come."
"Okay, I'll reply to him right away."
Mu Wanqing nodded, and then said: "There's another thing... someone wants to visit the studio."
"Refuse it."
Lin Yao shook her head, not wanting to disturb other people in the studio.
"Well, I thought so at first, but this person seems to be very prestigious in the game circle. Several people called me, and even the boss of Tianhu called me."
Mu Wanqing said after hesitating for a moment.
"Boss of Sky Fox?" Lin Yao was slightly surprised.
"Yes, that man is called Mou Feng. He seems to be the co-founder of Sky Fox before. He also stayed abroad for a period of time and participated in the production of many masterpieces."
"He stayed abroad..."
Lin Yao held her snow-white chin and pondered for a while: "Then let Zhu Nianqiao take him to have a look. When will he come?"
"Wait a minute."
"Then let Zhu Nianqiao take him to have a look first. I will meet him later. This matter is not urgent. You let Zhong Xiu and others go to the meeting room first. I have an idea now. Let's finish the meeting first."
"...Okay."
Mu Wanqing nodded and agreed. Lin Yao took the initiative to ask for a meeting,
which was rare. However, meetings are meetings, and the necessary preparations must be made.
"I will ask the engine team and Chen Qiuwen to prepare first. There should be no leakage. Do you have any sensitive information?" Mu Wanqing asked.
"No, the ones that haven't been updated are in the drawer, and the rest are the ones that have been updated."
Lin Yao picked up the information on the table and shook her head, saying, "Besides, it's actually nothing to take a look. Even if I copy them, I won't be able to catch up. Let's go."
...
Meeting room.
Zhong Xiu and others came soon.
"Lin Yao, the blasting mode and ghost mode are not difficult. The main thing is that the modeling and map production take time, but it will be soon."
"I know."
Lin Yao looked at Zhong Xiu who took the initiative to speak: "Thank you for your hard work, but I didn't ask you to come this time for the blasting mode."
"Not for the blasting mode?" Zhong Xiu scratched his head.
"Yes."
Lin Yao stood up, pulled over the whiteboard that was used for meetings and meetings, and took out a marker: "This time I came to you mainly because I have a plan. It's November now, and New Year's Day is coming soon, and then the most important Spring Festival. I plan to hold a series of activities for the two games under the studio, in order to generate income and to make players happy. The activities will last from the end of December to the first month of the year, just as our studio's yearbook plan."
Zhong Xiu and Chen Qiuwen looked at the four words "yearbook plan" on the whiteboard and nodded.
This is normal.
When do players have the most time? Of course it's the Spring Festival.
This is also the time when the game is most likely to make money.
After all, it is the most important holiday, everyone is happy, and it is understandable to hold activities.
"Fantasy OL is mainly in charge of Chen Qiuwen, so I won't mention it here for now. I'll mention the plan for Breakout."
Lin Yao picked up a marker and wrote the words "special event" on the whiteboard: "Zhong Xiu, we plan to have a special event for the New Year, which needs to be launched around the end of December. Will this affect the production of the two modes of Blast Ghost?"
Zhong Xiu pondered for a moment: "It depends on what you do."
"It's a variant of the biochemical mode."
Zhong Xiu was a little curious: "That won't have much of an impact, but what specific mode is it?"
"The gun-grabbing gameplay."
Lin Yao wrote the words "gun-grabbing" on the whiteboard, then put down the marker: "My plan is this, the initial process of the biochemical mode remains unchanged, but after the mutants appear, all mercenaries will get a certain amount of armor, and at the same time get a new skill-unable to bear humiliation.
And the zombies' first attack will no longer be to infect the mercenaries, but to snatch the guns from their hands..."
"Huh?
Zhong Xiu was stunned after hearing this: "Can they snatch the guns? Then what about the mercenaries?"
"Listen to me."
Lin Yao motioned for Zhong Xiu to be patient: "As for zombies, their limbs are stiff, and it's normal for them to not aim accurately. After the zombies get the gun, you adjust the recoil to the level where you can't aim at people and can only rely on blind guessing. The guns can even dance in their hands. "
Zhong Xiu:..."
God damn, his limbs were stiff.
"At the same time, the mercenaries whose guns were taken away can also steal other mercenaries' guns in this mode. If they really have no other choice, they can also choose to release skills-unable to bear the humiliation, directly turn into zombies, and join in..."
Zhong Xiu: "..."
What a stupid way of playing!
It's a mess.
Zombies grab guns, people also grab guns, and they have to prevent the defending players from directly stabbing them in the back.
In the end, the situation will become zombies chasing people with guns, unarmed mercenaries chasing mercenaries with guns, and mercenaries with guns can't bear the humiliation and directly scratch people in return...
"Oh, and add friendly damage at the same time." Lin Yao added.
Zhong Xiu: "..."
Well, it's even more chaotic.
But Zhong Xiu had to admit that this way of playing sounded... quite lively.
Zhong Xiu was a little amused and said: "This way of playing, isn't it too chaotic?"
"It's right to be chaotic. It's good to have some fun during the New Year. The balance doesn't need to be too serious. This is just a limited-time gameplay. I plan to turn it off in half a month or a month. "
"After working so hard, it's closed in just one month?" Zhong Xiu was a little surprised.
There is no such mode as limited-time gameplay here.
"Yes, limited time is the charm of this mode."
Lin Yao nodded and said, "In the future, during holidays or if the reviews are high, we can open it again for a limited time. What do you think of this gameplay?"
"..."
Zhong Xiu looked at Lin Yao, whose eyes were slightly bright and looking at him.
For a moment,
he felt that this was what Lin Yao wanted to do...
The boss abused his power for personal gain.
