This Online Game Developer is Definitely Problematic

A turn-based online game that hadn’t been updated for half a year, had a development budget seven times that of its competitors, yet only made a tenth of their revenue—a total failure. A game t...

Chapter 341 Who?

Chapter 341 Who?

Linmu Studio was calm.

When Lin Yao proposed the concept of steampunk during the establishment of the Witch project, the staff basically knew about it.

Many people even came up with a lot of ideas for this and wrote them down for Chen Qiuwen to refer to.

At this time, the trend of steampunk had long passed in Linmu Studio...

so the promotional video did not have much impact in the studio.

Most of the staff were still doing what they had to do.

And in a corner of Linmu Studio.

Mu Wanqing was concentrating on helping Lin Yao braid her pigtails during the last period of lunch break.

Lin Yao was aimlessly browsing the forum and took the opportunity to fish.

Neither of them spoke.

It looked like the years were peaceful .

Until a cell phone rang...

Lin Yao came back to her senses, looked back at her phone, and then answered the phone with a little surprise.

"Hello."

"Mr. Lin, thank you." As soon as Lin

Yao answered the phone, Zhang Seng thanked her all the time.

Lin Yao was slightly startled, then smiled and asked: "Why are you thanking me all of a sudden?"

on the other end of the phone.

Zhang Seng excitedly told Lin Yao about the opportunity he got.

"Congratulations." Lin Yao was a little surprised after hearing this, but she still congratulated him sincerely.

Zhang Seng is indeed very dedicated. He was the one who worked the hardest in the motion capture some time ago because he was the male lead.

But he has always been hardworking and Lin Yao is quite optimistic about him.

Now hearing him say that he got a good opportunity because of the game, Lin Yao is also happy for him.

"It's all thanks to you."

Zhang Seng smiled on the other end of the phone, and then said: "If you need me in the future, I will be there at your beck and call." After

listening to Zhang Seng's words, Lin Yao suddenly thought of the group stage of the "offline competition" that was about to begin, and smiled: "If you say so, I won't be polite... I really have something to ask you."

"Is it still motion capture?"

Zhang Seng's words just now were not polite. When he heard Lin Yao say this, he immediately asked.

Lin Yao thought for a moment and said, "No, your voice is quite suitable... How about this, when you have time, come to Lin Mu's studio, and I'll talk to you offline."

"Okay, then next week? I may have to join the group this week."

"Okay."

Lin Yao nodded, and then the two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

"...Is it about the theme song?" Mu Wanqing poked her head out and asked in a low voice.

Lin Yao put down the phone and nodded: "Well, I was thinking of finding a singer, but his voice seems quite suitable, and he called to thank me, so let him try."

Mu Wanqing smiled when she heard it, but didn't say anything, but continued to help her tie a ponytail.

Lin Yao has always been very good to people who work hard...

Lin Yao was interrupted by the phone, and she couldn't continue browsing the forum. She turned her head: "Are you ready? Miss Mu, it's time for dinner."

"Right away."

"What hairstyle did you tie this time... a pigtail? Huh?"

"It looks good."

"Bullshit, untie it."

"No idea."

"..."

"Lin Yao!"

Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing were discussing hair.

Suddenly.

Zhong Xiu hurried over, shouting as he ran: "It's over! It's over!"

"What happened?"

Lin Yao and Mu Wanqing immediately turned around and looked at Zhong Xiu.

"Xiang Shaoyuan, Xiang Shaoyuan was besieged..." Zhong Xiu rushed in front of the two, stopped suddenly, and then panted.

"Xiang Shaoyuan?" Lin Yao slowly typed a question mark.

"Motion capture studio! He was besieged! After the trailer of "The Witch" came out, the excuse you gave last time is no longer valid. Now many filmmakers want him to take orders, and he is crying for help."

Lin Yao: "..."

What...

...

July 6th.

The third day after the trailer of "The Witch" was released.

Reflecta zodiac 1 was officially released.

It was released simultaneously in China and overseas!

During this period, the hottest topic in the gaming circle was Reflecta zodiac 1 and their escort masterpieces.

But just before the release of Reflecta zodiac 1.

Suddenly, Cheng Yaojin appeared.

The launch of "The Witch" directly suppressed the topic of Reflecta zodiac 1.

Overseas, it's okay.

After all, there is a strong console culture.

In addition, Reflecta has been promoted for so long, and finally achieved good results.

But in China, where Zhang Jianghu has high hopes, the situation is a bit worse...

Some machines were sold in the early stage.

But compared with the number estimated at the beginning, it is directly less than half.

Because the console is not cheap, and the game is not cheap either.

The domestic single-player player circle is not large.

After watching the trailer of "The Witch", many players were more looking forward to "The Witch", so in the end, Reflecta became a victim.

In the eyes of players, the escort masterpiece of Reflecta Zodiac 1 is not as attractive as "The Witch"...

and "The Witch" does not require buying a console, so why not. Wait a little longer?

Most players hold this idea.

In the end, the sales of Reflecta Zodiac 1 in China were far less than expected.

Even the part of the console that was sold did not have a good reputation.

Zhang Jianghu was trying to touch porcelain for marketing, and there were really players who believed him.

Many players bought the console just because of his words "Escort masterpieces are still wonderful even without Linmu Studio".

Now the console is back.

The escort masterpiece is also bought.

But what about games like "The Witch"?

No.

Guns, cars, balls, plus an action game.

Domestic players were dissatisfied immediately after playing.

On the forum.

"You said it would be the same without Lin Mu Studio, that's all? You at least released a unique escort masterpiece, and it's a shooting game! Isn't it good for me to play "Breakout"? "

"Action games are interesting, but I don't think they are as amazing as "The Witch"..."

"Don't buy it, it's a rubbish marketing console, the game costs more than 250 yuan, but it's no different from those works of Gibbs, it's the same old thing, you might as well buy "The Witch"! It's only 199!"

"To be honest, it's really not as good as "The Witch" that can be played on PC..."

"Don't be fooled!!! I was fooled! I thought they were so awesome, saying that there was no Lin Mu Studio, but the game is really super average!"

"Indeed."

"..."

Zhang Jianghu sat in front of the computer, watching the discussions on the forum and the frequent appearance of the word "Witch".

A little annoyed.

He slammed the table and shouted:

"Witch, witch, witch!

The other party's game hasn't been released yet!

Have you played it? You're already bragging!?"

Not far away, the secretary saw Zhang Jianghu getting angry and didn't dare to speak.

Domestic performance is not ideal.

Zhang Jianghu was very angry. It was better not to offend him at this time.

"Zhao! Psycho!"

Zhang Jianghu cursed, picked up the phone on the table and made a call.

After the call was connected, he took a deep breath, changed his face instantly, and laughed: "Boss Lin, congratulations, do you have time? Ah? Who? I'm Xiao Zhang... No, Zhang Jianghu!"

Secretary: "..."

Everyone, is it bad? When I wrote it myself, I bumped into it and felt very uncomfortable. It felt a little stuck, but I didn't dare to ask for leave...
