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 571 Buy!!!

"Don't get so excited."

Seeing a large group of people standing up in unison, Lin Yao probably guessed who these people were.

She pursed her lips, smiled gently, and continued: "I believe that when the app store was mentioned just now, many developers would think of the Vaporwave game platform, and then think of a very important point, that is - the commission system."

"Because of time limitations, I will not elaborate on this point here, but in late June, we will hold a developer conference on the Vaporwave game platform and the new app store launched by Future S1. At that time, we will comprehensively reform the existing commission system.

We will strive to ensure that the app store will not become a lock stuck around the necks of app developers, and will not let users become victims of cost transfer in the end. This is our promise."

"Again, the most important purpose of our online app store is to make it convenient for users, so that they don't have to worry about software downloads and have possible security issues. Let all developers develop with peace of mind."

"As you all know, software developers have to promote their applications themselves. It is also a big hassle to set prices and collect remuneration. This cannot guarantee user stickiness, just like a scattered 'mobile vendor'.

Without a display platform, and of course the most important benefit, developers not only need to spend time on research and development, but also do annoying marketing and establish sales channels.

Without the support of a capable team, it is almost impossible to achieve any results.

Especially for small developers.

And now, the app store, Future Store will solve this problem! It will become your home!"

"We are waiting for you, waiting for you to come to Future Store to play the coolest ideas!"

Lin Yao finally said the words of summary, and then showed a friendly smile again.

And as she spoke.

Instantly.

Many developers who were watching the live broadcast.

Even those colleagues in Linmu Studio were moved...

because Lin Yao was telling the truth.

Why do companies like Kesi Entertainment want to develop mobile games and cooperate with Tianyu?

It's because there is no official channel!

If they don't choose to cooperate with mobile phone manufacturers, they have to market and establish sales channels themselves.

This is simply hellish difficulty for many small developers! It is not an easy task for large companies either.

And now, if there is no exaggeration in the demonstration of Future S1 of Linmu Studio, it will definitely not be unknown!

Stable channels, stable hardware, unified management mechanism, stable income from unified collection...

Lin Yao also promised to reform the commission system.

In any case, it is always right to try... Even if you go to Future S1 to make a name for yourself first, it is worth it!

Many developers had such an idea in an instant.

And they have such an idea.

Then Lin Yao's strategy has already succeeded...

Offstage.

Mou Feng was also moved.

But at the same time, he felt desperate in the face of this hurricane he had been waiting for...

Unified hardware, bundled with the store, will not only increase user stickiness, but also bring together scattered developers to work together to meet the various needs of users.

Users get the applications they want, and developers get real benefits.

This is... a brand new business model!

Even if the mobile phone has not been officially launched yet, he can imagine the huge benefits contained in it.

But the problem is.

He can't resist it yet.

Even if Tianhu's mobile game is made, it is estimated that he will make it available on Future S1, because compared with other mobile terminals, it is too convenient to do marketing and establish sales channels...

and at that time, Tianhu will become the vested beneficiary of this system.

By then, it is really hard to say whether Tianhu still has the ambition to regard Linmu Studio as an opponent.

This is a comprehensive lead in concepts and ideologies.

This is a dimensionality reduction attack.

This is really... too depressing.

On the other side.

The executives of the mobile phone factory, Yu Tianbo and others, still did not sit down.

Instead, they stared at Lin Yao and wanted to eat her alive!

Of course.

There are regrets.

Why.

Why didn't I think of this before! ! !

The only thing they can count on now is that this app store will die in the womb.

Otherwise.

Future S1 will become the most severe test since the establishment of Jiaming Alliance!

But... is it really possible?

Will the app store that the other party announced with full confidence die in the womb?

On the stage.

After Lin Yao finished the last sentence, he paused for a while and suddenly clapped his hands lightly.

"Of course, although we are looking forward to other developers coming up with their coolest ideas, after all, the phone is not on sale yet and the Future SDK has just been announced."

"So our excellent creators may need some time."

"But for users, after purchasing a phone, they want to use it directly..."

"So for this reason, we have also made some efforts, just as a show of ugliness, to lay a sample for future smartphones."

"Well, now let's welcome our best software engineer, Zhong Xiu."

"..."

Lin Yao once again gestured to the screen, "Please look. "

Yu Tianbo, who was in the audience, felt dizzy again and finally couldn't help but sit back.

Yes.

It's not over yet!

Their game hasn't been announced yet! It's okay, it's just

a game.

The impact is limited to players.

Yu Tianbo covered his forehead with his right hand and comforted himself.

But suddenly.

He found that Lin Yao was not talking about the game director, but the software engineer.

He suddenly felt uneasy and looked up.

On the screen.

Zhong Xiu's figure appeared, standing next to another screen within a screen.

"Hi, everyone, I'm Zhong Xiu from Linmu Studio."

"I'd like to point out that what I'm going to show this time is special, so the video is not recorded. I'm broadcasting live to everyone at the headquarters of Linmu Studio."

"Next, I'll show you the results of our work during this period."

"First of all, this."

Zhong Xiu picked up a mobile phone that was projected on the screen.

Then he swiped his finger across the screen and came to the last page.

He clicked the last software icon.

The software popped up smoothly and started.

"We call this software - 'Game Circle'."

"Its function is very cool. As long as the user is a player of any game of Linmu Studio, whether it is a player on PC, mobile phone, or switch, as long as he has a Linmu Studio account, he can directly log in to this software with the Linmu Studio account." "

And in this software, you can view the games you own and the length of play."

"For example, this is the game I own, and the ranking of the length of play."

Zhong Xiu clicked on his homepage, which was densely packed with a bunch of games.

"These are the games I currently own. I have played "World of Warcraft" more recently. It's almost 400 hours, ranking first.

Of course, we can also check the play status of our friends, such as Lin Yao's play status..."

"Oh, she has played "DOTA" more recently. She played a game of "DOTA" in the morning, and then went to the press conference venue..." As soon as

Zhong Xiu said this,

a large number of DOTA players were instantly excited.

They immediately spoke in the live broadcast room and swiped real-time comments frantically.

"Of course, the functions of this software are far more than that. We can see that there are several entrances on the homepage, namely Vaporwave game platform, mobile phone, and switch."

"This is a special area we created. After users click in, they can view the best-selling rankings and game discount information in real time on their mobile phones."

"For example, Vaporwave game platform."

Zhong Xiu clicked on the entrance to the Vaporwave game platform and continued the demonstration.

"Currently, the top-selling game is still Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which was released at the end of last year. If you click on the discount information, you can see that several popular games are on sale. For example, Mobile Force, which was released two years ago, is currently on sale at a 30% discount."

"Here, you can see the discounts of related games in real time, and you can also understand the trend of players choosing games, such as the most popular games among players. Of course, this software has not yet been publicly tested, and the people currently using it are basically internal staff of Linmu Studio."

"Our base is too small to be accurate, but after the formal test, players will be able to learn about the most popular games here..."

"Of course, in addition to this, the 'Game Circle' also has a group function... All players can create a group of their favorite games, and then discuss their favorite games with their like-minded people anywhere."

"If you don't like private groups, you can also come to the 'Square'! As the name suggests, here, all users can speak freely. Now there are only posts from our internal people." "

But in the future, you can speak freely with everyone here as if you were really in the square!"

"Whether you are out or at home."

"You can communicate with like-minded people anytime and anywhere."

"..."

In the audience.

Following Zhong Xiu's explanation.

Lin Zhi stretched his neck, his eyes lit up, and his desire to buy rose again.

In fact, the so-called "game circle" is a vertical community software.

Linmu Studio has many players.

But this huge user traffic has always been scattered outside.

Now they have launched such a "game circle", not to mention the functions of checking the games you own and the length of time you play.

The mobile communication platform provided by Linmu Studio alone can be bound to the games you play.

It is already very attractive to Lin Zhi.

Of course.

From the perspective of another group of people.

This is another matter...

The first mobile vertical game community is also bound to the games of Linmu Studio.

The high traffic of Linmu Studio's games is bound to attract a large number of users.

At that time, so many users will not only have high stickiness, but also greatly accelerate the spread of games, especially the spread of Linmu Studio's own games, thanks to the convenience of mobile phones.

If it is guided, the content is the main focus, and then slightly controlled.

What will happen if Linmu Studio releases a new game?

Yu Tianbo didn't dare to think about it.

And to be honest.

Although the software released by Linmu Studio this time is closely related to the game field that it is best at, which makes him feel a little relieved.

But he really can't tell them apart.

What is vinegar and what is dumplings...

They are like adding layers of money, pulling everyone step by step to the feast they have carefully prepared.

A newly designed mobile phone with an industrial aesthetic appearance. Not interested?

Okay, what about the hardware that is piled to the extreme?

Still not interested? What about the new operating system? What about a brand new, unprecedented operating system?

Still not interested?

Okay, all kinds of new features, such as a beauty camera.

Still not interested?

Then there is also a vertical game community!

At this time, the press conference was almost an hour over.

This time is not short or long.

But Yu Tianbo felt that it was like a vortex, a vortex that pulled everyone in...

Users are willing to jump in.

And he, or rather they, were paddling primitive canoes outside the vortex, resisting the increasingly fierce vortex...

Perhaps, the only thing to be thankful for.

Probably, the current mobile phones of Linmu Studio do not have anything that has a decisive appeal to ordinary users.

The beauty camera is one of them.

But there should still be a few non-game users who will buy mobile phones for such a function.

However, their layered approach, the huge number of game users, the subsequent word-of-mouth fermentation, and the emergence of game stores... How much impact will it bring? It

is still unknown for the time being.

Is this really something to be thankful for?

Yu Tianbo began to think about this question.

But soon.

He found that he didn't need to think about it...

"This is the first software we bring to you."

"This is a gift from us to all players and users, a 'game circle' to communicate with like-minded people anytime and anywhere."

"But..."

Zhong Xiu finished the introduction of the 'game circle' and suddenly changed the subject: "Our lives are not only about games, we have to take into account many things. Mobile phones can be used as the entertainment center of the future, but its most essential function is still communication."

Everyone was stunned.

And?

And! ! ! ?

"We have been thinking about this question. How can we contact friends, partners, and family far away from home?"

"Many people may blurt out that phone calls, text messages, or chat software are all fine."

"Indeed, all of these are possible, and this phone can do all of these, but it always feels a little lacking, especially chat software."

"Just like what Lin Yao said when the voice communication software for the game 'Kaihei' was announced... In addition to text, players may have another way to communicate."

"Then mobile phones, in addition to those conventional contact methods, can we have another new way?"

"Especially now that 4G is commercially available, the communication speed has been significantly improved, and more and more places are covered. It will become more and more convenient for us to use mobile phones outside."

"We started to think about this problem."

Zhong Xiu whispered the lines he had practiced for a long time.

It makes players excited and impatient, and at the same time makes his peers nervous.

Especially Mou Feng and Li Guangsheng.

Both of them began to scratch their hair nervously.

Tianhu Chat.

But besides games, it is their best business.

But.

Zhong Xiu did not stop because of their fear.

"Then, we came up with a plan,"

Zhong Xiu looked at the camera, then controlled the phone again and opened a software.

"We drew inspiration from the software 'Kaihei' and finally made this software, it's called - WeChat."

Soon.

The screen next to Zhong Xiu showed the projection of the phone.

It was a

page that Lin Yao was very familiar with. But the audience watching the press conference was very unfamiliar with it.

The software interface is very simple, and the overall white and gray color scheme gives people a sense of stability. The four entrances at the bottom are messages, contacts, discoveries, and me.

At this time.

The page on the phone is staying on the friend chat window.

Many names familiar to players can be seen on it.

Qi Jianhua, Lei Hongguang, Zhu Nianqiao...

Of course.

And Lin Yao.

Her avatar is a chubby ragdoll cat, which is exactly the one in her house.

"This is a chat software. I believe you are all familiar with it."

Zhong Xiu directly opened Lin Yao's chat window: "This software has all the functions of current chat software, such as sending text messages and sending pictures. I will not go into details about these.

What I want to introduce to you is the new functions of this software, which we have prepared specifically for the new generation of 4G communication technology.

However, I can't demonstrate these functions by myself, and I need Lin Yao's help."

As soon as he finished speaking ,

a spotlight on the stage came on. The

soft dim light shone on Lin Yao.

She stood gracefully beside the small platform at the edge of the screen, holding a mobile phone with a screen projection in her hand.

"Many times, although communication chat software allows us to avoid the trouble of choosing the sender, the time for typing is still not saved, especially when we want to say a long paragraph."

"At this time, we can only input in segments, or type slowly, but what if we really can't spare the hands to type, but we have to reply?"

"I have encountered such a problem... and this problem has been solved in our WeChat."

"If it is really inconvenient to type, but we must reply, then we only need to - click the button that looks like a speaker next to the input box, and then press it!"

Zhong Xiu pressed the "Press and Speak" button.

Then, he slowly asked: "Lin Yao, how is the situation on the scene?"

After speaking,

he released the button.

Then.

Ta-da...

a reminder sounded.

The source was on the stage.

Lin Yao picked up the mobile phone that was also connected to the screen projection.

On the stage screen,

the display area suddenly split into two.

While the screen projection from Zhong Xiu's side was displayed, the screen projection from Lin Yao's side was displayed.

Lin Yao pressed the sound wave-shaped voice message.

"Lin Yao, how is the situation on the scene?"

Zhong Xiu's voice sounded again in the venue.

But this time, it was played from another mobile phone.

Seeing this scene.

Instantly.

Offstage.

Not only colleagues and executives of mobile phone manufacturers.

Lin Zhi, all the players, also stood up.

"We named this function as voice message."

Zhong Xiu introduced with a smile: "Then next, let's turn off WIFI and try it."

After that, he pulled down the control center of the phone and turned off WiFi directly.

Lin Yao also controlled her phone and turned off WIFI.

The 4G logo appeared in the notification bar of the two phones.

Then.

"Hello everyone."

"I'm glad that everyone can come to our press conference."

Zhong Xiu pressed the language button again and lowered his head to speak.

Almost instantly.

On Lin Yao's phone, a message popped up.

She clicked on the language message.

Zhong Xiu's voice echoed in the venue again.

Yu Tianbo: "..."

Mou Feng: "..."

Lin Zhi: "..."

Everyone watching the press conference: "..."

"In addition to the voice function, we have developed another function. The 4G communication speed has been greatly improved. In addition to making the sound not limited by distance, we

also want all mobile phone users to be able to use their mobile phones to see the people they want to see at any time, even if they are thousands of miles apart..."

Zhong Xiu looked at the camera again: "And this function is called video call. We don't need to turn on WIFI, and we don't need to consider where we are. We just need to click the plus sign next to it and send a video call invitation."

Ding Ding Ding.

Lin Yao's phone rang immediately afterwards.

The page where Zhong Xiu invited you to a video call popped up.

She clicked to accept.

Then.

The faces of both parties appeared on each other's mobile phone screens.

And the 4G logo in the mobile phone notification bar

was extremely conspicuous.

Lin Yao smiled, then raised her phone, replaced the front camera with the rear camera, and then aimed it at the audience at the venue.

Soon.

They appeared on Zhong Xiu's screen.

Zhong Xiu looked at the audience and greeted them with a smile: "Hello, everyone."

But no one replied to him.

At this moment, everyone in the entire venue was standing.

There was complete silence.

After 4G was put into commercial use,

everyone was imagining the future usage scenarios after the communication speed was greatly improved.

But it was just imagination.

All future usage scenarios were still invisible and intangible.

So for the future prospects of 4G, some people firmly believed, some were skeptical, and some thought it was impossible.

But at this moment...

the future appeared in front of them.

It was directly and simply laid out in front of them.

It really was... come and see, the future.

Live broadcast website.

Real-time comment area.

Exploded instantly!

"??????????????????????"

"Ah——?"

"4G... can it be done to this extent?"

"The future, maybe this is what the future will look like, I finally know what it will look like..."

"Fuck!? Fake!? Fake? Fake!"

"..."

Conference venue.

"In addition to the two functions mentioned above, there is also a compromise voice call."

Zhong Xiu seemed to be unaware of the audience's reaction and continued: "There is no screen call, this is easy to understand, I won't explain it too much. I would like to introduce you to another more interesting function... Boss, please take a commemorative photo for me."

Lin Yao nodded slightly, then picked up the phone and pointed it at the audience, took a photo, and sent it to Zhong Xiu.

By the way, he demonstrated the speed of sending photos under 4G environment.

Zhong Xiu downloaded and saved the photos sent by Lin Yao, and then opened a function called "Friends Circle"...

[Future S1 press conference, commemoration. ]

[[Picture]]

Zhong Xiu edited the message, then attached the photo, and clicked send.

On the other side.

Lin Yao opened her own circle of friends, then looked at the text and pictures that Zhong Xiu had just sent, and clicked a like.

Simple and direct.

It makes people understand at a glance.

What should mobile phone software look like in the 4G era?

At this moment,

everyone has the answer.

"We named this function - Moments!"

Zhong Xiu continued: "A social circle that can share what you see, get, think and think with friends anytime, anywhere..."

Offstage.

Mou Feng couldn't stand up anymore and sat back on his chair, but he still stared at the screen blankly.

He came to watch mobile games.

But.

He now feels that mobile games are irrelevant.

Because he has seen the future.

On the other side.

Yu Tianbo also fell into the chair, and the strength of his body seemed to be drained.

He also felt that mobile games were irrelevant.

In fact, nothing matters anymore...

At this moment, a huge fear grabbed his heart.

No matter how he comforted himself, it was useless.

It was only an hour since the press conference.

But he felt

that the world was turned upside down...

At the same time.

Players like Lin Zhi were much simpler.

He didn't sit down, but stared at the screen.

Just one idea -

buy! !!! !!!

I'll buy it even if it doesn't have any mobile games!

It doesn't matter what kind of mobile games it has!

What are you waiting for if you don't buy a phone like this! ! !
