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 381 Abundant Fruits

The console of Linmu Studio, with the vibration plan finalized,

has entered the trial production stage.

As the trial production progresses, the material procurement issues that have been discussed for a long time have also become public information from the top management and some people.

Next.

Linmu Studio’s plan to make a console can basically be concealed.

Lin Yao is also mentally prepared for this. He asked Bao Liangzhe to delay time and stop the trial production just to think of a way to deal with Peria.

The solution was thought of on the same day.

Of course, the trial production will proceed normally.

Eventually the news will be revealed... It's normal.

But Lin Yao didn't expect... The news would be revealed so quickly.

She originally thought that the trial production stage could be kept secret for a while.

Unexpectedly,

it couldn't be concealed on the first day of the official purchase.

She still underestimated the ability of the sand sculpture players...

"What does Linmu Financial Holdings' procurement have to do with Linmu Studio! You have to ask this."

Lin Yao looked at the post speculating that Linmu Studio was going to make a console, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Do you need me to find the public relations team to handle it?"

Mu Wanqing also took a look and asked Lin Yao's opinion.

"Forget it, just announce it."

Lin Yao sighed and shook her head: "Anyway, players will know sooner or later, it can be regarded as a warm-up... However, we don't need to say anything, let the players guess first, otherwise they will be scared away if they know that we are going to make a handheld game console and the actual machine has not come out..."

Mu Wanqing thought for a while and said: "Then I will contact Linmu Financial Holdings and ask them to tell the screen supplier to keep it confidential."

"Well... by the way, throw a smoke bomb."

Lin Yao smiled maliciously: "After the two studios of Conglong and Xihan are familiar with the engine, transfer Zhong Xiu, Li Yaozhun, Gu Zhi and other backbones to them to keep an eye on them, but before that, the actors for motion capture can start to be selected... Let Chen Qiuwen and Zhu Nianqiao go to select, and announce the news by the way."

"...Okay."

...

In the next two days.

The news that Linmu Studio is going to make a console.

It is getting more and more intense.

Linmu Studio did not respond to this.

There were even game media going to Linmu Studio to block the door.

People from Linmu Studio did not say anything.

Neither denied nor admitted.

But in the eyes of many players, not denying... is admitting!

So when they learned that Linmu Studio did not deny it.

The largest game forum in China.

Half of the players were excited.

Linmu Studio! It's going to make a console!

Linmu Studio, which can always bring surprises to players! It's going to make a console!

What kind of console will they make?

Will it be like their games, instantly making players' eyes light up?

What is the price?

What are the game lineups?

These questions instantly became the hottest topics in the player community.

Of course.

Some players also expressed that they couldn't understand why Linmu Studio, which obviously has the largest PC online game distribution platform, wanted to make a console?

It feels unnecessary.

However.

This is only part of the players.

Most players will definitely not think so much.

They have strong expectations for Linmu Studio to make a console.

At the same time.

Peria, the domestic headquarters.

The person in charge, Nakabo Koichi, looked at the posts on the forum and was stunned as if he was hit hard.

He has been in China for nearly five years and speaks Chinese very well.

So he can completely understand the content of the post.

Linmu Studio is really going to make a console.

But... why?

Don't they have the Vaporwave gaming platform?

Why bother?

Nakabo Koichi couldn't figure it out at all.

He even thought that Linmu Studio was crazy...

But no matter what.

The fact has already happened.

After he came to his senses, he immediately picked up his phone, made a cross-border call, and began to report

to the headquarters. As his report was delivered to the headquarters.

The news that Linmu Studio was going to make a console also spread in the industry.

Now Linmu Studio is quite famous in the global gaming circle.

Players are of course looking forward to it.

But most people in the industry can't figure it out.

And the points they can't figure out are basically the same, that is-doesn't Linmu Studio have the Vaporwave gaming platform? Why make a console?

What a pity.

No one can answer their questions for the time being.

Nakabo Koichi can't understand.

Linmu Studio's domestic colleagues can't understand it either.

I don't know what Lin Yao thinks.

Even.

The president of Cosi Entertainment was said to have privately commented that Linmu Studio was simply stupid for putting aside the Vaporwave gaming platform to make consoles...

And just when the console rumors were getting more and more intense.

In early August,

Linmu Studio was exposed to another bombshell news...

They are selecting motion capture actors for new games!

And there are two!

Two brand new 3A masterpieces!

Once this news came out,

players were more convinced that Linmu Studio was going to make consoles!

Isn't this an escort masterpiece!

On the same day,

a large number of posts discussing Linmu Studio's console escort masterpiece appeared on the forum.

However,

the post with the most replies on the forum that day was not about the escort masterpiece.

It was a post complaining.

The title of that post was quite interesting - [Fuck, it's a 3A masterpiece and a console. If you don't know, you might think it's some overseas company. When you look closely, it's all Linmu Studio. [狗头]】

"… Escort masterpieces."

Lin Yao sat in her seat, watching the players default to the two 3A masterpieces that selected motion capture actors as escort masterpieces for the console, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Escort masterpieces.

The performance of Linmu Studio's console is so high that it can't be played unless the image quality is compressed desperately...

But compressing the image quality desperately affects the game experience too much.

So these two games will not be launched on the console.

However.

Let the players think so... It's not a bad thing anyway.

Lest Peria be prepared and prepare to snipe before the console is announced.

Lin Yao shook her head lightly.

Then she thought with some amusement.

When the time comes, what will the players' expressions be when they see those two games announced first and logged on to PC.

The game is announced, what, it turns out that Linmu Studio didn't make a console at all.

Aha.

Actually it did!

The little theater in Lin Yao's mind was automatically staged, and she couldn't help but smile again.

But soon.

She couldn't laugh anymore...

"Many agents came to us."

Chen Qiuwen hurried over and told Lin Yao with a pale face.

Zhang Seng and Lu Xiu are both very popular now.

They are on the verge of becoming first-line artists.

Most importantly, they are both well-known overseas.

All of this is thanks to Linmu Studio's "The Witch"...

Now I heard that Linmu Studio is going to select motion capture actors again.

Not only did the agency not refuse, but it even took the initiative to come to us...

"You are responsible for finding the right artist, and don't care about those who come to you."

Lin Yao sighed. Facing other people's enthusiasm, there was nothing she could do. She could only swallow the bitter fruit of being famous for the game.

"Ah? Don't care? That's not good."

Chen Qiuwen's eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light, and he suggested: "Actually, I think, why don't we let Miss Mu play the Tomb Raider project... After all, the prototype is her, right?"

"Get lost... Don't always want to harm the people in the studio, no! Absolutely not! Go find your artist!"

Lin Yao was stunned, then flatly refused, pointed to the distance, and told Chen Qiuwen to get lost.

Games are not CG, they are controlled by players.

Why?

Why should others control them?...

Chen Qiuwen left immediately after seeing Lin Yao's expression.

Lin Yao watched him leave, shook her head helplessly, then raised her hand, stretched hard, looked around the studio, and smiled.

Now, everything is ready.

Next,

we just need to work at full capacity to produce the game...

This will be very hard.

Especially in the past two weeks, Lin Yao has written two new plans, and she has been completely exhausted...

However,

Lin Yao believes that

the hard work and efforts are worth it.

Because soon,

these hard work and efforts... will bear rich fruits.
