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 436 Golden Time

Chapter 436 Golden Time

It’s not that Lin Yao wants to make a fuss.

A breakthrough in communication technology.

It’s really not a small matter.

If communication technology really breaks through, it means that the era of big mobile is coming.

In her previous life, the 3G era was an important key to opening a new era of mobile communication. At that time, a lot of new products appeared. Then, the 4G era brought the Internet speed to a whole new height, and completely let the whole world enter the era of mobile Internet.

Then, in the era of mobile Internet.

All industries will usher in earth-shaking changes...

The same is true for the gaming industry.

And this world.

In Lin Yao’s view, it is in the 3G era. The technology tree of this world has always been quite strange. Obviously, the hardware has developed so fast, but the development of communication technology has not been fast.

She went to the forum to download the erotic pictures... No, when she read the posts, she also complained a few words.

But it’s obvious.

The development of communication technology in this world is not fast, but it does not mean that there is no development.

This is not it.

Suddenly, a piece of news hit Lin Yao dizzy...

She heard the news from Zhong Xiu, and she didn’t even care about the planning of "Dark Soul". She took the initiative to call Mu Wanqing, and then convened the core staff of the studio for a meeting.

In the conference room,

everyone was shocked when they heard that it was Lin Yao who took the initiative to request the meeting, thinking that something big had happened.

After all, Lin Yao rarely did this.

But when they came in and listened,

they found that they were talking about the breakthrough of the new generation of communication technology, which had nothing to do with games...

Everyone's face became strange.

Lin Yao took in everyone's gaze, then reacted and smiled helplessly.

Speaking of which

, when 4G was first introduced in her previous life, no one took it seriously. They just thought that the Internet speed was a little faster, what was so strange about it.

And the charges were so expensive.

What's the use!

Yes.

What's the use...

At that time, domestic game players thought so, and mobile game manufacturers thought so too-until the evil "Diffusive Million Arthur" appeared, which brought the concept of krypton gold card collection social games with the signs of the rise of 4G, and directly set off a huge revolution in the game profit model.

Then, all mobile phone manufacturers seemed to have found a new world...

FGO, Onmyoji, Moe Three Kingdoms and other mobile games popped up like mushrooms after rain.

In a very short period of time, China achieved a curve overtaking with mobile games, and after a game with the name starting with "Yuan" came out, it was directly exported and became a hit all over the world.

There was a period of time.

Lin Yao remembered that every game company really wanted to make mobile games, and there were countless money-making games with skins.

Most people made a lot of money.

Lin Yao, an orphan who came from the Fruit Ninja era, didn't react, and mobile games directly became the most profitable game type.

And.

The popularization of 4G in her previous life not only affected the game industry, but also made physical wallets a thing of the past, giving birth to a bunch of new products...

When 4G was first interviewed in 2013, most people probably couldn't think of it.

Simply increasing the network speed will achieve such an effect.

Just like now.

"I just want to know, how far has the new generation of communication technology gone?"

Lin Yao could understand the doubts of the people present, after all, memory is her exclusive plug-in.

She did not explain, but asked seriously.

"I have paid attention to this aspect."

Zhong Xiu replied: "I heard that the construction of a new generation of networks may begin this year, and licenses may be issued by the end of the year or next year."

"In other words, the earliest that operators will open up the business of the new generation of communication technology is next year?"

"Yes."

Zhong Xiu nodded: "But it depends on the operator."

"I understand. "

Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

If so, time is not tight...

"Do you think the popularization of the new generation of communication technology will have a big impact?"

Mu Wanqing sat next to Lin Yao and asked curiously.

"Yes, but if we are well prepared, the impact on us will not be great."

Lin Yao nodded, then shook her head: "Just take this opportunity to tell me that the PC product department will have a new work next. This game will be launched on two platforms, consoles and PC, and more games will do so in the future. So I hope that the two product departments of PC and consoles will each select some people to set up a transplantation group specifically responsible for transplantation."

She looked at Zhu Nianqiao and Zhong Xiu.

Zhong Xiu was slightly startled, but Zhu Nianqiao was not surprised and nodded slightly.

"In addition, Zhong Xiu, the important work on the game will be handled by the specific project team. Your work focus during this period will be shifted to the 'open black' software. It has been delayed before, and now it can't be delayed - I need you to make a mobile terminal."

"...According to your previous idea? Voice call?" Zhong Xiu asked.

"No, do it according to the idea of ​​real-time video."

Lin Yao shook her head and then threw out a keyword: "New generation of communication technology."

"Hiss...I understand."

Zhong Xiu thought of something when he heard this, and he took a breath, then nodded thoughtfully.

"That's it. We have to seize the opportunity during this period. Not only do we have to make masterpieces for the console product department, but we can't stop making masterpieces for the PC either. We have to try our best to use this golden time to completely get players used to our mobile terminal - the Switch console, so that players can completely form the impression that we can also play masterpieces on mobile terminals."

Regardless of mobile games, in the mobile era, make money while standing first!

Lin Yao clapped her hands, attracted everyone's attention, and added.

Of course.

She didn't say the last sentence.

Although the people in the conference room had no idea about the golden time that Lin Yao mentioned, they still nodded.

The boss of Linmu Studio will not make mistakes, this is the consensus of many people.

"In addition, in addition to launching games, the Vaporwave game platform must also speed up the construction of the community and thoroughly consolidate its existing advantages."

Lin Yao continued; "The stand-alone department will do the first-party masterpieces, so I won't mention this specifically. I mainly hope that the online game department can also strengthen its connection with the Vaporwave game platform."

The person in charge of the online game project team present was stunned, and then slowly nodded.

Lin Yao breathed a sigh of relief again, and then lowered her head to think about whether there was anything missing.

The specific way to do it will be implemented slowly in the future. What she is proposing now is a general direction.

As for the purpose, to put it bluntly.

It is to minimize the impact of the mobile Internet era on traditional games and Linmu Studio.

As long as the size of the Vaporwave game platform is large enough and there are enough games, it can survive comfortably no matter what, because the market will always exist and will not disappear due to the impact of mobile games.

The fear is that when the time comes, something like EIPC will suddenly appear, and the foundation of the Vaporwave game platform will be unstable, plus the impact of mobile games, then it will be over...

That's why she said that this period of time is the golden time.

Lin Yao thought about it and suddenly laughed softly.

After the initial worry was over,

she was inexplicably looking forward to it.

If, if the new generation of mobile network technology matures, Linmu Studio can still maintain its advantages in consoles and PCs, and then free up its hands to launch mobile games to make money...

It's hard to say how far a game company that is a trinity and takes into account all fields will go.

But it is estimated that... it will be very interesting, right?
