Chapter 660 The first game

For the next half month.

Future S2 continued to sell well.

Even the sales of Future S1 increased a lot.

On the day of Future S2's release, the relevant software updates were also pushed to Future S1.

Although the hardware of the two is very different, Future S1 also lacks in the picture performance of "Top", after all, the processor in the past two years is a bit weak.

But thanks to the unified hardware of Future S1, "Top" is also a first-party game of Linmu Studio. Linmu Studio has this ability and it is relatively simple to optimize.

It just sacrifices a certain degree of picture performance.

But some people don't mind this very much.

In addition, the most important thing is that the Future S1 on the third-party platform has ushered in a price reduction.

The range is quite large, nearly 800 yuan.

This has brought the price of the new Future S1 down to less than 3,000 yuan.

The new Future S2 has just been released, of course, it is impossible to reduce the price.

One side is 3,000 yuan, and the other side is 5,000 yuan.

There are many points for upgrading.

But if you are not interested in the big screen, high refresh rate and fast charging, and can accept the weak processor performance of Future S1, then choosing Future S1 is similar to Future S2.

Although it is said that technology products are better to buy new than old.

But everything should be done step by step.

In the domestic mobile phone market, the price has not risen so fast. Youmei Technology is a challenger. It has no constraints at the beginning. In addition, the first mobile phone is really amazing, which can set the price of high-end mobile phones.

But before Youmei Technology rose, Jiaming Alliance was the boss.

Their high-end mobile phones are priced at about 3,000 yuan.

Jiaming Alliance has dominated for so long, and there is still an impact.

This is also the price that most users can accept for changing mobile phones.

Therefore, after some users make a choice, they think that there is no problem with the update points of Future S2, and it is normal to choose the lower-priced Future S1.

After all, the two mobile phones are equipped with the same system. What Future S2 can do, Future S1 can also do.

And Future S1 is still better than the high-end mobile phone models of Jiaming Alliance... This is also very important.

Users even prefer to buy the previous generation Future S1 of UMedia Technology, and are unwilling to buy the high-end mobile phones of Jiaming Alliance.

This is another huge blow to Jiaming Alliance.

Although the mobile phone market is still an incremental market,

users are willing to buy other people's previous generation mobile phones at the same price, which itself represents a signal.

The difference is really too big.

At this point,

especially after the release of Future S2,

fewer and fewer people think that Jiaming Alliance is still the first in the domestic mobile phone market.

In two years, it has lost its first position to some extent.

This blow is really too big.

The major members of Jiaming Alliance have been like bereaved when they met during this period, and they have not thought of any good solutions.

In the end, the conclusion was that they could only imitate Future S2, and then add one or two exclusive functions of Jiaming Alliance, and launch upgraded high-end mobile phone models...

and this is exactly what Linmu Studio wants...

On the other hand,

the popularity of "Top" is getting higher and higher as expected by Linmu Studio's peers, and it really seems to be replicating the miracle of "Day of Reincarnation".

But soon, peers found that they still underestimated this mobile game...

This is not a replica.

This is a total overtaking!

After the release of Future S2, "Day of Samsara" seemed to have lost its first place forever.

Whenever you open the Future store,

"Top" is always ranked first.

If this only means that this new public beta mobile game has many downloaders,

then there is really no reason for the speed of mobile game spread.

"Day of Samsara" is already very popular and broke the circle at that time, but compared with "Top", it is still a small witch compared to a big witch.

The search index and popularity of "Top" on social media are really new every day.

And most of the users who discuss it didn't even pay attention to the news of the game before.

How universal is this mobile game? How can ordinary people who don't pay attention to games at all discuss it?

Linmu Studio's colleagues can't figure it out.

The only thing they know is that this mobile game is far from reaching its limit.

Because the Future series of mobile phones are still selling well.

And this doesn't count the users of Jiaming Alliance... Just this alone makes people feel that this game is more popular than "Day of Samsara".

During this period, some game companies actually launched new card drawing games, but as expected.

There were "Day of Reincarnation" and "Under the Dark Night" before, and "Top" after, which are just pure imitations and can no longer attract too many players.

And this kind of operation of forcing its way into the gun barrel is respected as a warrior by many peers...

and then they take it as a warning, even if their own card-drawing mobile games are ready, they choose to suppress them first.

But it is a fact that the mobile game market is thriving.

This can be seen from "Top".

It is very divided.

Linmu Studio! You have led everyone astray!

Although my peers really want to scold me like this.

But "Day of Reincarnation" and "Under the Dark Night" are very profitable... This is really too dry!

Faced with this situation, smart peers have begun to consider how to make differentiated mobile games.

As for the not-so-smart ones, they are still complaining.

On the other hand.

Peers have noticed that the popularity of the mobile game "Top" continues to rise, attracting countless users who don't pay attention to games to download.

Of course, players have also noticed it.

Their experience will only be deeper than that of Linmu Studio's peers.

After all, they are the ones who play games.

[The mobile game "Top" is so popular. My cousin never plays games. She would scold me when I play games, but yesterday I actually saw her playing mobile games and she looked very happy! ]

Such a post

suddenly appeared on the forum.

This was originally just an ordinary sharing post, and there was not much traffic at all.

Many players just read it, and only those who are too idle will reply.

But this time is different.

There are actually a lot of players who empathize with this post... and

the number of replies is also very scary.

And.

It is still rising.

"It's normal. Many of my colleagues who don't play games have also started playing. They originally bought Future S2 just for the fast charging function. After all, they often need to travel, but in the end they all started playing games inexplicably..."

"Because the game "Climb to the Top" is the focus of the press conference. Ordinary people have never seen such a game. This game is unique. Jiaming Alliance's mobile phones don't have it at all! Don't give it a try after buying a new phone? And the cost of trying this game is really too low. All applications of Linmu Studio share the same account. You can play the game by downloading it, and then you can try it out..."

"Indeed, my friends started playing mobile games in this way, but in the final analysis, Linmu Studio is too awesome. You have to admit that the game "Climb to the Top", although it can't be compared with MOBA end games, is really fun. Sometimes I get addicted to it."

"Look at 'Fresh Takeaway' and 'Leave Home Safe'. The traffic they gained was so much because of the phone launch that the heads of these two softwares were grinning from ear to ear! And this was just a casual mention when introducing the widgets, not to mention 'Top' which is the 'escort masterpiece' of the new phone.

I can guarantee that this game will become a big hit in the end, and this group of users will become seeds. If the game can be launched on Jiaming Alliance's phones next, it will be a sure win. This game may even become the king of mobile games!"

"Because it's fun! I even feel a little sorry that such a game was not announced at the carnival... Of course, this is just my personal opinion. We did make a bit of a fuss at the beginning. In fact, if it's like this year's carnival, with all the traditional games included and one or two high-quality mobile games, I wouldn't mind."

"So... that's true. I wouldn't mind if the next carnival did that! It feels good too."

"Goodbye, you feel this way now because Lin Yao is still here. Who knows what will happen if Lin Yao is gone... Although the possibility is not high, there is still a chance of it happening. By then, the carnival will be full of mobile games, and the producer will come up and say 'Everyone take out your mobile phones' and we will really be unable to hold back. Don't disbelieve it, what console can compare with the sales of mobile phones?

I don't mind Linmu Studio making mobile games. After all, this is the general trend, but I want to play traditional games more. The current situation is that mobile games and traditional games are 50-50. The carnival and the press conference are the two stages that bear the heavy responsibility of exposing mobile games and traditional games respectively. If the boundaries are blurred, according to the speed at which mobile games make money and the user base, Linmu Studio's strategy will really change drastically."

"Ah? Lin Yao is not here!?"

"Can't you see it? Lin Yao didn't show up at the carnival, and then she created a virtual idol called the manager, and the press conference was changed to be hosted by Zhang Youjie of Youmei Technology. Lin Yao has already thought about leaving... Of course, this is just my guess, and it is also possible that she will retreat behind the scenes."

"Yeah... I'm even starting to worry that the number of traditional games from Linmu Studio will decrease in the future, although it doesn't make sense

. After all, the carnival has only served a few big dishes, but now I think they are going to focus on mobile games." "The above person actually makes sense. The reduction in the number of traditional games is a general trend. There is no doubt that it will start this year or next year... I'm leaving it here! I won't eat that to show you. Linmu Studio also makes mobile phones. They know better than anyone how bright the future of mobile games will be!"

"Indeed, mobile games are really profitable. I think so too."

"What the guys above say makes sense, but I think it won't just be Linmu Studio that will become like this, but the entire industry will become like this!"

"..."

At first, the players were still talking about the mobile game "Top", but as they talked, they slowly talked about Lin Yao again.

And started to bring up old things.

What will the future of mobile games and traditional games be...

This topic had already appeared when Linmu Studio first unveiled the Future S1 mobile phone and launched mobile games on it for the first time.

At that time, players were generally pessimistic.

It was not until the carnival of that year that the traditional players’ views changed.

After that, this topic never sparked much discussion. When Linmu Studio organized a joint event for "Day of Reincarnation", traditional players also had a lot of fun...

Until this time, Lin Yao deliberately reduced his influence and no longer showed up.

This made this topic reappear.

However, most players are not as pessimistic as before, and they are much calmer.

Because in the past two years, Linmu Studio has launched many mobile games, and they have a good understanding of mobile games. After playing mobile games... players have to admit that mobile games are well made, and with the characteristics of portability, they are indeed very competitive.

They all think it is interesting and competitive, not to mention casual players.

They all generally believe that with the success of "The Summit" and Lin Yao's retirement, the number of traditional games of Linmu Studio will decrease. Although Linmu Studio will not disappoint people, such as abandoning the flagship game series and going to make pachinko.

But the number of mobile games will definitely increase, and the number of traditional games will definitely decrease to a certain extent.

This is not just Linmu Studio, but the entire industry will undergo such a change.

It will be like this from this year... This will become a trend!

Just like the emergence of Future S1, no one can change the arrival of the smartphone era.

Powerless to change.

Of course, I will be calm...

...

To a certain extent.

Players' sense of smell is indeed quite sharp.

The emergence of MOBA mobile games will once again refresh the industry's perception of the money-making ability of mobile games.

And the launch of Future S2 will further stimulate Jiaming Alliance.

Mobile processors will only become more and more powerful... The mobile games that can be played will become more and more exquisite.

At that time, the entire game industry will indeed change, mobile games will become an inevitable link, and traditional games will indeed decrease to a certain extent as the production costs increase.

"But, this won't happen in the next two years."

Lin Yao sat in her seat, gently clicking the left button of the mouse, and chuckled: "At least it won't happen to Linmu Studio in the next two years."

Yes.

Lin Yao was also reading that post.

After completing the next development strategy book of Youmei Technology, she also got some time to rest.

And her rest time, she either played games, browsed the forum to see what the sand sculpture players were talking about, or chatted with Mu Wanqing...

very simple.

Then she saw such a post.

Originally, she just wanted to see if the cousin of the poster was pretty...

Unexpectedly, the sand sculpture players talked about this.

Lin Yao thought it was quite interesting.

She thought about it, and then replied under the post: "No, I promise."

However.

There were too many players replying under the post.

Lin Yao's personal account was nothing special.

So her reply didn't stir up any waves at all.

Lin Yao didn't mind, she just wanted to reply.

She didn't worry that the sand sculpture players would continue to think about it.

Because soon... the first game, like "Titanfall", belonging to the "Love Letter" project within Linmu Studio will be released.

In these two months.

And the name of that game is - "Left 4 Dead".

At this time. There

was a sudden knock on the office door.

Mu Wanqing, who was wearing an office lady outfit, walked in and asked: "Lin Yao, Zhan Tong from the PC department asked if you have time? He is a little unsure about that easter egg..."

Lin Yao stood up, stretched, and then smiled and said: "Yes."

Ten minutes later.

PC product department.

Seventh development team.

"Are you going to put up the whole poster? I took a look at the voice actor's lines."

"There will be two lines here, right? They are 'Ha, this is a good game' and 'My favorite.'"

Zhan Tong, the head of the seventh development team, looked at Lin Yao who hurried over, and asked humbly: "Since you are going to say such lines, I wonder if you should also reveal the name of the game..."

Lin Yao stood aside and shook her head when she heard it: "Of course it is impossible to put up the whole poster, you have to hide the key information."

"For "Game of Thrones", you can't reveal the name and gameplay of the game, but you can reveal words like 'brand new fighting game' and 'characters unveiled'. Just tear off half of the poster."

"The same goes for "Ready Player One". You can just reveal words like 'virtual reality game of the future'."

"This is to match the one or two lines of the game character when they see the poster, leaving a certain impression on the players... There will be related foreshadowing and linkage later. We don't want players to remember this thing just for one game."

"If you put it all up, won't the mystery disappear?"

"This is just a small easter egg for foreshadowing."

"...I understand."

Zhan Tong from the seventh development team scratched his head in embarrassment after hearing this.

Because the two projects were too important, he really didn't dare to make a decision alone, even if it was a seemingly unimportant detail that he could completely decide.

But now he felt embarrassed to let Lin Yao go there in person.

"It's okay, I just happen to be very free."

Lin Yao saw that the other party was a little embarrassed, and explained with a smile: "You change it first, I'll take a look."

"Okay."

Zhan Tong nodded, and did not go to find the staff below, but changed it himself.

And it didn't take much time to change two posters.

Soon.

He finished.

Zhan Tong stopped his action and looked back at Lin Yao.

Lin Yao carefully observed the two extra posters on the classic scene of "Left 4 Dead", nodded with satisfaction, and then smiled brightly: "That's it! Perfect."

Zhan Tong saw the smile on Lin Yao's fair face and was a little absent-minded, but he quickly reacted, looked away, and then cast his eyes on the screen.

On the screen, two damaged posters were tinged with yellow.

They were not conspicuous.

Zhan Tong thought that he might just skim over them while playing the game.

Who would have thought

that these two posters represent the two most important projects since the establishment of Linmu Studio.

Perhaps,

when everything is revealed, players will be shocked when they look back and play these games again, right?

Zhan Tong couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.

There was a subtle sense of accomplishment.

Although he didn't handle those two important projects.

But all of this! Will be opened by this game that he is personally responsible for.

The work he did that day.

In the next twenty years.

Players may not forget it.

... This is really great.
