Chapter 537 Runnable Mobile Games

Lin Yao’s solution to the list is very simple.

Just ignore it.

And the effect of this solution… is not bad.

After all, most of the people who can get Lin Yao’s contact number

have tried to contact Lin Yao before, when Linmu Studio just started to rise, and thought about injecting capital to share a share.

At that time, Lin Yao, with the help of Zhang Youjie, rejected everyone.

These people also understand Lin Yao’s character.

So after Lin Yao changed her number, they knew that there was no hope, so they stopped harassing Lin Yao.

As for those who couldn’t get the contact information and came to the company’s door to line up, after being left alone for a few days, most of them gave up.

At this point, the incident is almost over.

As for why it is almost…

It’s mainly because the players are a little troublesome.

Their enthusiasm for discussion is higher than Lin Yao imagined…

“Why are these stupid players still talking about this topic…”

Lin Yao sat behind his desk, looking at the players on the forum who were still talking about wife and son-in-law.

A little helpless.

They are still entangled in this shit… There are related posts everywhere.

Some people even made a crude valuation model to verify how much Linmu Studio is worth. It

's simply crazy.

"Senior, it seems that you don't understand your own charm.

"

Zhu Nianqiao leaned over to glance at Lin Yao's screen, then patted her shoulder and said earnestly: "If it were me, I'd finally found something fun to care about, and the protagonist looks like you, so I'd be willing to discuss it... This is just the beginning, I guess you won't be able to take off the hat of a rich woman for a long time to come, and as long as you appear, someone will probably tease you for this.

Unless there is a stronger label to cover the label of rich woman, but it's unlikely. The stronger label should be something like wife, which has appeared now..."

"Go away, what do you want to do again?"

Lin Yao turned her head and glared at Zhu Nianqiao gently; "Also, I can't deal with the players who tease me, but I can't deal with you either, right?"

"Isn't it bad to have a reputation for taking revenge?"

Zhu Nianqiao immediately shrank her neck: "And I'm here to ask you for advice on the map design ideas for Super Mario: Odyssey, not to tease you..."

"Then why are you so talkative?"

Lin Yao glanced at the energetic girl who was occasionally unexpectedly smart, but seemed stupid most of the time, and found it a little funny.

Then she thought for a moment and pulled out a piece of drawing paper from the side.

"I'm telling the truth." Zhu Nianqiao watched Lin Yao pull out the drawing paper and leaned over again, wanting to see what Lin Yao was going to draw.

But Lin Yao hadn't started yet.

So Zhu Nianqiao was quickly attracted by Lin Yao, who was sitting upright.

The first thing she saw was, of course, the delicate facial features without any flaws.

Then, there was the graceful figure that seemed to be mature, plump, and youthful and energetic.

Finally, Zhu Nianqiao fixed her eyes on Lin Yao's round and beautiful legs, and asked as if possessed by a ghost: "Senior sister, don't you really consider wearing black stockings?"

"What does this have to do with you!?"

Lin Yao raised her head suddenly, and this time she grabbed Zhu Nianqiao's ponytail directly, and said unhappily: "You are standing with the players, right?"

Zhu Nianqiao explained: "No, everyone will be curious when seeing this, it's normal to try to ask a question..."

"It's not normal, don't bother me!"

Lin Yao let her go and said unhappily: "Go find a chair over there and sit down. I'll take care of other things first. I'll tell you about the map of Super Mario: Odyssey later."

"Oh."

Zhu Nianqiao obediently pulled a chair over and sat down next to her: "Senior sister, what are you going to draw?"

Lin Yao ignored her. She

just started to draw on the drawing paper.

Just now, she was reminded by Zhu Nianqiao.

Lin Yao also felt that she really couldn't let it go.

If it is discussed again and again like this, the label will be deeply rooted in people's minds and it may not be removed.

Although it seems that it cannot be removed now... but at least it can't let players discuss it anymore and spread the name.

So she plans to release some news according to the original plan to divert the players' attention.

As for what news to release.

New games are definitely not an option.

Players all know that Linmu Studio is making new games, there is no doubt about this.

So new games should either be released in full to give players a surprise, or not released and saved for a surprise later.

It doesn't make much sense to give some news half-hiddenly, since players haven't played it yet.

The new version of "World of Warcraft"... can be released.

But now players are playing the first official version enthusiastically... many people haven't figured it out yet.

Announcing the new version now will only make players impatient and consume the life cycle of the game.

This is an online game, so there is no need.

So in the end.

Lin Yao thought about it.

There is only one game left to release news.

That is the sequel to "Dark Soul".

This game has a predecessor as a foundation, and most players have played it.

Linmu Studio is indeed working on a sequel, and it just happened to be revealed, as the pioneer of Linmu Studio's game lineup in the second half of the year.

Of course.

We can't just say it directly - we are going to make a sequel~

Although this is effective, the effect of diverting attention will definitely not be too good, and the players' enthusiasm for discussion will probably not be too high.

So Lin Yao specially drew a picture.

Then after sending Zhu Nianqiao away, she found the staff again, dug out "Dark Souls" which had been on sale for a long time, inserted a small update, and added a small easter egg to the list of production staff.

Then, she specially asked the staff who held the official social media account to post an old picture of "Dark Souls".

And added an ambiguous sentence - [The bell rang again! Wake up! ]

After everything was done.

She ran to the host product department to discuss the map design of "Super Mario: Odyssey" with Zhu Nianqiao.

And thanks to the fact that Linmu Studio is now famous enough.

Lin Yao just got it done.

The first time.

Some players noticed the highly instructive blog post on Linmu Studio's social account...

and then.

Lin Yao's forced Easter egg was also discovered.

[After reading the blog post, I felt that Linmu Studio was hinting at something, so I ran to reopen "Dark Souls", then played for a while, and clicked all the options on the homepage again. Sure enough, I found something new, haha.]

Such a post.

In the evening of the same day, it appeared in a certain player community.

Then it was spread out soon.

The main content of the post is actually just a picture.

The source is the list of production staff of "Dark Souls".

Because of insufficient preparation time, Lin Yao only drew a picture.

But this picture, combined with the highly instructive blog post on Linmu Studio's social account.

It is enough for players to imagine.

In the picture.

Inside the church-like building, white candles brought a little firelight, and a knight in heavy armor knelt on one knee and raised his right arm to the front.

On his palm, a small flame was jumping.

In front of the knight is a woman wearing a white crown and a black robe. She has her back to the knight and is about to turn around.

This is the entire content of the picture.

Players will know it at a glance.

This is the style of Dark Souls!

And the players are very sure that the female character in the picture has never appeared in the game.

Such a picture, coupled with the blog post posted by the official social account of Linmu Studio.

It is hard not to make associations.

Is the sequel to "Dark Souls"... coming?

Because of the guidance of "Uncle Lin", and the fact that the game itself is famous for its malice.

Let's not talk about how many players have played the game "Dark Souls" in China.

But at least, almost all players who know Linmu Studio know such a game... a game filled with Lin Yao's malice.

So after the picture was found, there were really many people willing to discuss it.

The focus of most players' discussion, of course, is - is the game going to have a sequel?

And their enthusiasm... is very high.

They can analyze a picture thoroughly...

They even plan to analyze the story of the sequel from the photo...

"Is it a sequel? It must be a sequel, right?"

"It should be a sequel, but whether the first generation is about passing on the fire or extinguishing the fire, it is the end, right? What should this sequel be about?"

"After passing on the fire, the world's fire will be extinguished again? And then the bell will ring again?"

"Well, we have to pass on the fire again, and you just want to take advantage of us immortals and kill us?"

"There will be a beautiful girl this time!"

"Don't... How miserable will the beautiful girl in the Dark Souls world be..."

"But looking at the picture, there must be a female character, and a white-haired one! She should be pretty, but I don't know what the positioning of this character is in the sequel? The fire keeper in the previous game? The one who looks at the boiler room?"

"God damn, the one who looks at the boiler room!"

"Is it really confirmed that there will be a sequel?"

"It hasn't been announced directly yet, but I guess it is. This is both a hint and an easter egg..."

"..."

As the players discussed.

Lin Yao's goal was achieved.

At least many people stopped harping on the matter of the son-in-law...

Directly announcing the news of the sequel would not have the same effect. After all,   the "importance" of

a sequel is not the same as that of players "discovering" clues by themselves and thinking that they have seen the hints given by the game company.   Time goes by.   As the news of the sequel of "Dark Soul" spreads.   At the same time, in "World of Warcraft", more and more players reach the top of the version, and the dungeon competition between the top guilds at home and abroad becomes more and more intense.   About the rich list.   It's finally over.   And Lin Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief.   However, it seems that the impact is still quite large... At least she may not be able to take the subway again.   ...   Early September.

The people who lined up to harass Lin Yao in front of Linmu Studio finally disappeared.

After all, this is not Lin Yao's previous life. When something becomes a popular hot spot recognized by the public, everyone will chase after it.

Until the whole thing is chewed up and forgotten in the corner.

The speed of information dissemination here is not that fast.

Although this also means... after the heat rises, it will be slow to calm down.

But it is finally over.

Lin Yao was able to put this matter aside and devote herself to work wholeheartedly.

"I always feel that the BOSS of this generation is more oppressive."

Imaging department.

Qi Jianhua leaned back in his chair and accompanied Lin Yao to watch the CG of the sequel to "Dark Souls". He was a little emotional.

Although it was true that he did the CG.

But the storyboard was drawn by Lin Yao.

"After all, we always have to give players something new."

Lin Yao raised his head and retracted his gaze from the screen: "If the sequel is to do everything the same as the first generation, it means changing the skin."

In fact.

Lin Yao's previous life's "Dark Souls 3" is the culmination of the entire Dark Souls series.

During this period, perhaps it was mixed with Lao Zei's experience in making "Bloodline".

In addition, technology has been improving.

In terms of overall perception, "Dark Soul 3" will definitely be better than the first generation of "Dark Soul".

Of course.

Some players think that

the third generation is too commercial and too fancy, and it lacks the flavor of pure Dark Soul.

But the same thing.

Whether it is a game or a person, they must move forward in the end.

The reason why Lin Yao came to see the CG this time

was mainly because the news that "Dark Soul" would have a sequel had been released.

Those new games are okay.

Although the sequel of this popular work represents a stable fan base, it also represents that some fans of the previous work will use a magnifying glass to examine the game...

In addition, in order to divert attention, Lin Yao also did a small marketing wave.

So, in order to prevent the game from being criticized at that time,

of course she has to keep an eye on it.

In fact.

She just came from the game project team and reviewed the Guda...

"It's OK, the CG is perfect."

Lin Yao looked at the CG again, nodded with satisfaction, and then asked another question: "How is your CG movie project going?"

"It's still in the casting process."

Qi Jianhua scratched his head: "I haven't found the right person for the time being, although the company I cooperated with has recommended a lot of people..."

"How about Lu Xiu?"

Lin Yao casually mentioned a name.

This is also the only female artist she knows.

"She doesn't have short hair, right?"

Qi Jianhua thought for a while and replied: "And it's not easy to explain to our partners, right?"

"You have to see if the person is suitable, why do you look at the partner's face? The IP is ours, and we are the producer, and the dominant power is in your hands. And this is a CG movie, not a live-action film and television drama, what's wrong with long hair?"

Lin Yao was a little helpless: "You won't forget that we need motion capture actors?"

This time, Linmu Studio did not do it all by itself for the CG movie. It's not that it can't, but that each profession has its own expertise.

A few minutes of CG and a movie are two different things.

So after considering for a while, Lin Yao still brought in two partners.

This is not difficult to discuss. After all, to put it bluntly, the IP power of Linmu Studio is still great.

In addition,

the dazzling achievement of "The Witch" that directly made Lu Xiu popular is there.

Most people in the industry know this.

Linmu Studio just made a start, saying that it is going to try to make a CG movie that will be released simultaneously with the game for promotional purposes.

The heads of the two partners were tempted.

Later, there were even a bunch of companies that heard the news and wanted to put people and money into the project.

However, after all,

it is not the same field.

So it is a bit slow to get along with the two partners.

"Of course I haven't forgotten..."

Qi Jianhua subconsciously replied after hearing Lin Yao's words.

Then he looked at Lin Yao's expression and smiled: "Okay, I get it. Hehe, I feel relieved when you say that."

"Well, don't worry too much. Our final destination is still the game. If you really can't let it go, you might as well regard this CG movie as an extra-long game promotional film... Then just follow the process of the game CG, discuss it with Zhong Xiu if you need to, and go to the motion capture studio if you need to go to the motion capture studio."

Lin Yao could also guess that he had concerns.

After all, the other party is a professional film and television company.

But in Lin Yao's opinion.

It's unnecessary.

...

Lin Yao stayed in the imaging department for more than 20 minutes and talked a little about the CG movie with Qi Jianhua.

The project has been officially launched.

But Lin Yao has been busy with games and mobile phones recently.

So she can only learn about the progress from him.

After a while, she will go and see it in person.

After asking about the CG movie,

Lin Yao returned to her office and was thinking about whether she should consider the release of the game in the second half of the year.

Kang Yi,

the head of the mobile game department, knocked on the door and walked in.

"Boss, the two mobile games are already in a runnable state. Do you want to try it?"

As soon as Kang Yi saw Lin Yao, he immediately raised the phone in his hand and shouted excitedly.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Lin Yao was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her fair little hand.

Kang Yi handed the phone to Lin Yao, and said excitedly: "Boss, the design ideas of these games are really amazing! I thought the games would be boring, but I didn't expect it to be so interesting to play! It's much more interesting than the built-in games of other mobile phone brands! No... It's not the same thing at all."

Lin Yao blinked and didn't speak, but took the phone and woke up the screen directly.

Then, she slid her finger across the screen and found the runnable games mentioned by Kang Yi.

One is "Fruit Ninja" and the other is "Temple Run".

Lin Yao looked at the two familiar icons on the screen of the mobile phone, couldn't help but smile, and then opened "Temple Run".

The game started.

A familiar scene appeared on the small screen.

An adventurer came to an ancient temple to search for treasure, but was chased by a monster.

He started to run away.

And behind him.

A monster on all fours chased him.

As the camera rotated, the control of the adventurer came into the hands of the player.

The operation was very simple.

You can use the gyroscope of the mobile phone to control it, or you can use your fingers to slide the screen to control it.

Turn.

Jump.

Slide.

The purpose of the game is very simple, which is to avoid obstacles in four directions, collect gold coins while moving forward, and get higher scores.

But the gameplay is simple, but it is very interesting.

Lin Yao held the mobile phone in her left hand, and then gently slid the screen with her right finger.

The whole process of playing was very smooth.

Whether it was sensitivity or smoothness.

Lin Yao played for a long time.

Feeling that the mobile phone was not hot, she was completely relieved.

Next.

It was pure play time.

Lin Yao was quite bad, and

she always died. She started over and over again.

Then, as she played, a smile appeared on her beautiful and round face.

Some nostalgia.

Ahead.

Kang Yi waited patiently, watching Lin Yao play and looking at Lin Yao.

When he saw Lin Yao's fair face suddenly burst into a smile, it was like ice and snow melting.

His face suddenly flushed, as if he was embarrassed to look at it anymore, and turned his head away.

Lin Yao didn't know what the other party was thinking.

She did feel nostalgic.

In the previous life.

With the advancement of technology, mobile games

have become more diverse. This kind of game has long been swept into the trash.

Few people play it, and few people will download it again.

Even the game itself has changed, with all kinds of krypton gold props and advertisements.

She hasn't touched it for a long time...

But she still remembers the first time she used a flip phone to play Snake, and the scene of downloading these games with great interest after she got her first smartphone.

What brand of smartphone did she use at that time?

Well...

It seems to be Xiaomi 1 Youth Edition...

She remembers that she bought it with the money from her summer job.

The phone would get hot when running the game.

The user experience is far from being very good.

But as someone who has witnessed the rise of smartphones with her own eyes.

He started with a flip phone that could only play Snake, then switched to a smartphone, and then to a full-screen phone.

The games he played on the phone also changed. From

pixels to 3D.

From card drawing to MOBA.

From shooting to role-playing.

The games are becoming more and more diverse, and the experience is getting better and better.

But when it comes to what mobile games make him happy,

it seems that the games he played when he first came into contact with a smartphone... are more enjoyable.

Be it literary or

sentimental.

The fact seems to be true.

"..."

The adventurer controlled by Lin Yao died again.

This time.

She did not continue to play "Temple Run", but tried "Fruit Ninja" again.

After playing for a while.

She looked up, with emotion on her face, and looked at Kang Yi: "Very good... How are the other games?"

"The stand-alone ones are fine and are progressing steadily, but "Hearthstone", which has dual-end login and shared data, has encountered some troubles."

Kang Yi explained in general terms, and then said with a little embarrassment: "But I am working with the 'Kaishan Research Lab' to solve these problems."

"Okay, I'm just asking."

Lin Yao smiled at him: "Please do your best... In addition, I will keep this phone for the time being."

"Okay."

Kang Yi nodded, then turned and left without any hesitation.

Lin Yao watched him leave, then looked down at the phone in her hand again.

In her previous life, these games left a deep impression on her.

But at that time.

Software is software, hardware is hardware.

Developers are different.

Various mobile phone models make the game experience different.

Maybe.

This time, Linmu Studio, as a developer, can solve this problem.

Even if it can't be solved, it should be able to give players the best experience on this Linmu Studio phone.

Well.

So, these games should also leave the players here with the same deep impression as her, right?

Dongdong-

at this time.

There was a knock on the door.

Lin Yao came back to her senses and looked up again.

Mu Wanqing appeared in the office.

She closed the door gently, and then immediately said: "Lin Yao, the organizer of the Global Game Awards invites..."

"Miss Mu!"

Lin Yao interrupted Mu Wanqing directly, suddenly stood up, pulled her to her seat, and then held her shoulders and asked her to sit down.

Mu Wanqing was confused and didn't know what Lin Yao wanted to do.

But she still sat on the chair obediently.

"What's wrong?"

Only after sitting down.

Mu Wanqing raised her head, her bright and delicate face looked at Lin Yao with some doubts.

"I'll give you something fun to play."

Lin Yao mysteriously stuffed the phone into Mu Wanqing's hand.

She bent down slightly, supported her knees with both hands, and raised her hips to watch Mu Wanqing play.

The girl exhaled like orchids.

A faint warm breath lingered in her ears.

Mu Wanqing couldn't help but lift her hair at the temples, and turned to Lin Yao inconspicuously, and then looked at the phone.

Game?

Mu Wanqing showed a puzzled look.

Then soon.

She was addicted...

...

at the same time.

"Will Linmu Studios have a sequel to Dark Souls this year?"

Frank, who was far away in North America, also knew about the Easter eggs in Dark Souls.

As for why he cared about this,

it was simple.

The annual Black Friday and Christmas were coming again...

In the current gaming circle,

no one can ignore Linmu Studios as a competitor.
