Chapter 178 Mr. Lin misunderstood... (Two-in-one)
Although Battle Royale is also a shooting game,
it is indeed very different from Breakout.
The two CGN editors saw these differences and immediately became very interested.
The two couldn't wait to exit the tutorial level, then teamed up and started a two-player battle.
The game matching was a bit slow,
but much faster than in China.
It was within the acceptable range of the two editors.
After about a few minutes,
the game began.
The two chose their favorite from the four starting legends.
The game reminded them that they could familiarize themselves with the skills of the legends.
"Hound? Displays all enemies, traps, and traces within a 125-degree cone range based on the front of you... Passive tracking of enemies leaves you clues, charging the skill Ultimate Hunter, enhancing your senses, allowing you to see clues from long ago and move faster."
Kevin chose the hound. While familiarizing himself with the skills of the legend he chose, he read curiously.
James was the same. She chose the evil spirit: "Use the "void" space to quickly change positions and avoid all damage... Cool! This really doesn't seem to be an ordinary shooting game."
"Well... stop talking, let's start."
Kevin was about to answer, but suddenly found that the screen changed and the game started. He immediately reminded his colleague nervously.
The two immediately grabbed the mouse.
But the imagined battle did not happen immediately.
The two were on the spaceship.
At the top of the game screen, the countdown was on. After the countdown reached zero, the system prompted them to land.
"The map is so big."
Kevin, as the captain of the parachute jump, was briefly confused, and then looked at the map on the screen and sighed.
"Yeah, it's really different from "Breakout."
James was much more direct: "The game is reminding us to land. I see many people have jumped. Should we jump too?"
"Where to jump?"
"Whatever! Jump down first. I always feel that jumping first has an advantage!"
"Okay."
Kevin glanced at the map, then looked at a location where there was obviously a building, and pressed E.
"hooo——"
As soon as he pressed the jump button, the legends cheered and descended with the sound of exhaust, and the music sounded.
I don't know why.
Seeing this scene.
Kevin and James listened to the background electric guitar music and even got excited.
But this situation did not last long.
As they got closer and closer to the ground, the jetpacks behind them spewed out stronger exhaust, and the two landed smoothly.
Then.
The two were stunned.
The huge map, various buildings, but there was no one around, and no guns in hand.
The two didn't know what to do next.
"What should we do?" Kevin pressed Q subconsciously, released his legendary skill to search for enemies, and then asked.
"Look for guns, there are in this house."
James opened the door of the room according to the prompt, and then saw guns, projectiles, bullets, and armor all over the floor.
"I understand."
Kevin immediately followed him into the room after hearing this.
Then.
The two of them started to compare the differences between armor, guns, and bullets one by one like a fool...
It looked very stupid.
They hesitated for a long time between the shotgun and the rifle.
But when they turned to another room, they saw the sniper rifle.
Then they were in a dilemma again.
What should be put in the backpack, how many bullets should be put for the two guns, the difference between small health packs and large health packs, the role of armor batteries...
The two hesitated, but searched for nearby supplies with great interest.
It took a long time to collect resources.
Until the system prompt sounded.
"The safe zone is shrinking."
At the same time, the legend they chose also reminded them: "If we don't hurry to the safe zone, we will be trapped outside the safe zone forever."
The two came out of the meaningless tangle.
Hurry to check the countdown below the map on the left side of your screen.
"Safe zone?" James was a little surprised to see the word.
Kevin's eyes widened and he said excitedly, "I get it! I get it! Such a big map! Players are scattered everywhere. In order to make us fight, they have to compress the living space! And then force us to fight in one area!" "
So... we have to fight against the sixty teams on the map?"
"Yes!"
"This..."
"Don't you think this is cool!? I understand how to play this new game of Linmu Studio! It's a genius idea!"
Kevin quickly understood the simple and exciting rules of this game, and said excitedly, "Throw all the teams into the map, and then let the teams fight each other through the concept of safe zones! Until the final winner is decided! Because we don't have weapons at the beginning, we have to search for enough weapons and equipment before the safe zone shrinks, otherwise we will have no chance of winning if we meet other teams! Battle Royale! This is Battle Royale! Run! Kill!"
"I see."
James understood after hearing his colleague's explanation, and his eyes widened slightly: "Should we hurry to the safe zone?"
"Yes! Let's go!"
Kevin stopped wasting time and took James to the safe zone according to the map prompts.
But the two did not go far.
They heard other footsteps coming from nearby.
"Stop, stop, stop! There are people! There are people near us!"
Kevin suddenly shouted loudly.
His shouting
made James nervous, and the two immediately hid behind a stone.
At the same time, the footsteps on the other side stopped.
It seemed that their footsteps were also heard.
"Maybe we can negotiate with them."
James hid behind the stone, and for some reason, his palms were sweating with nervousness.
"Damn it! There is only one winner! How can we negotiate?"
Kevin cursed, and then subconsciously pressed his legendary skill.
A red light spread.
In a house not far away, two figures appeared briefly.
"Where they are, maybe we should kill them. The tutorial mentioned that when the enemy dies, all the supplies on him will belong to us! We can strengthen ourselves!"
"...Since you have decided, I will listen to you, although I am very nervous now, I don't know why."
"I am nervous too, but this is how battle royale should be."
Kevin stared at the screen motionlessly, and then controlled the character to rush into the house where the character's shadow just appeared briefly.
Both of them are shooting game enthusiasts.
Logically, there should be no pressure to fight with guns.
But I don't know if it is because of the rules of the battle royale game.
The two did not know what legend the opponent was, what gun the opponent had, and they were not even sure if there were other people nearby.
These uncertainties made the two nervous.
When they rushed to the vicinity of the house, their heartbeats accelerated.
Kevin took the lead and opened the door first.
Then, he was greeted by two big men squatting in the corner.
Gunfire was spitting.
"Help me!!!" Kevin hurriedly switched to a gun to fight back, and at the same time, he shouted heartbreakingly in a voice that could be heard throughout the office.
"Here they come!" James heard his colleague's voice and panicked, and rushed into the room.
Four guns fired at the same time.
The four people were panicked, firing randomly, and then changing magazines.
The four people jumped around in the room.
But in the end.
Kevin and James still lost.
Because the other party was well prepared and shot in advance, in the end they only knocked down one person, and were killed by the other party.
Looking at the prompt of annihilation on the screen.
Kevin and James looked at each other, and the two with red faces slowly calmed their breathing, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
After a while.
They spoke.
"It's almost there."
"Yes, if we win, we can bandage, recover, and then rush to the safe zone!"
"Yes, it's a pity. But I have to say, this game is so exciting!"
Kevin has understood the rules of this game after the baptism of the teaching level and the first game, and said excitedly: "It's completely different from "Breakout"!"
"Yes, if "Breakout" is a militarized confrontation, then this is a fight, just like the movie "Blood" starring Jack." "
The movie in 1996?"
"Yeah."
"Hey, don't say, it really feels like this, Linmu Studio is really a genius!"
Kevin thought of the old movie, sighed, and then said excitedly: "Let's do it again, I think I can play it!"
"Me too, come on, get ready."
James clicked the ready button with great enthusiasm.
Kevin also clicked the ready button with excitement.
"I say, what are you two doing?"
At this time.
A colleague who had just heard Kevin's heart-wrenching scream ran over to ask about the situation.
Kevin and James looked up at their colleagues in the same office, and then replied in unison: "We found a very exciting game!"
"Exciting game?"
The colleague was a little confused, and then his face changed slightly: "You are not playing..."
"Shit, you will know when you see it."
Kevin cursed him, and then ignored him.
Because they were matched.
Much faster than before.
The colleague thought about it, walked behind the two, looked at their screens, and found that it was indeed a serious game, so he stopped talking.
But he was also curious, so he prepared to see what the exciting game they were talking about was.
Then.
Then he stood behind Kevin and James.
While watching the two people playing the game, he asked about the rules of the game.
Occasionally he sighed.
More than half an hour later.
At the beginning of the fifth game,
because of Kevin's yelling,
almost everyone in the CGN editorial office stood behind Kevin and James, watching them play games...
until the end of the fifth game.
Some editors looked at each other, left Kevin and James, and returned to their positions. They
all opened the Vaporwave game platform...
...
Linmu Studio's game platform Vaporwave has been online overseas for nearly a week.
On this day,
Lin Yao came to the studio as usual. After finishing some of the work left over from yesterday, she took the time to read the reviews of the Vaporwave game platform, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Overall,
the reviews of the game platform are still good.
At least the players who are playing online games under Linmu Studio are not resistant, and even welcome such a game platform. It is enough to achieve this in the early stage.
And because of the overseas online platform,
Greenlight has also received a lot of votes from overseas players.
This also means that
these independent games can go overseas.
"Finally, there is good news. Next, we should think about how to save the new game. Let's find a way to make a promotional video to highlight the gameplay."
Lin Yao exhaled slowly, went through the current work of the studio, and finally remembered the new game rescue plan that was very late.
There was no other way.
The Greenlight Project and the updates of the two existing online games were more important than the new game that was currently unpopular.
Lin Yao could only put the new game on hold for the time being.
Now that the work has finally come to an end,
she has time to think about how to save the new game.
"Lin Yao!"
But Lin Yao was just beginning to figure out how to save it... and was interrupted again.
The girl with black silk stockings and glasses held the information in her arms, called her, and then trotted over here.
You know, she was still wearing high heels.
This look was really scary.
"Wait, don't be anxious, Miss Mu."
Lin Yao immediately stood up and supported Miss Mu who stopped suddenly in front of her to prevent her from falling. At the same time, she said helplessly: "Don't be so anxious about anything. It's not worth it if you fall."
"Look at this!"
Mu Wanqing didn't listen to Lin Yao at all. She directly handed the information in her arms to Lin Yao, her face flushed, and she looked very excited.
"..."
Seeing that she didn't listen, Lin Yao could only take the information she handed over first, and then looked down.
Is this the sales data of the new game?
Lin Yao was a little surprised, then looked down, and was shocked in an instant, and couldn't help but say: "Four hundred thousand!?"
"Yes."
Mu Wanqing suddenly opened her arms, hugged the somewhat confused Lin Yao, and jumped lightly: "This is the sales of the new game overseas this week! Four hundred thousand! In one week! I just asked Zhong Xiu to check! There are currently 300,000 people online in the game! And many game anchors on overseas live broadcast websites are broadcasting this game! It's everywhere. Your game is not a failure! My Lin Yao is not a failure."
"Ah?"
Lin Yao put one hand around Mu Wanqing's slender waist and held the information in the other hand, still not recovered.
"Battle Royale" was originally launched overseas because the game platform was going to be launched overseas, so of course it also made an English version.
But the cold reception of new games in China made Lin Yao a little pessimistic, and at the same time she also knew that her decision was wrong, so she was pessimistic about the situation overseas.
I thought it would be the same as in China.
Half dead.
After all, most of the players of PUBG at the beginning were domestic players.
But now Mu Wanqing told her that the sales of the new game exceeded 400,000 in one week overseas...
This is 400,000 sales. If converted into domestic currency, this is 50 million sales.
50 million.
This is not a failure.
Lin Yao was held by Mu Wanqing and did not come back to her senses for a long time.
At this time.
The mobile phone on her desk rang.
"... Miss Mu."
Lin Yao struggled for a while and wanted to answer the phone, but found that she could not get rid of Mu Wanqing's arms...
Miss Mu was still very strong, so she could only remind her.
Mu Wanqing reacted and let her go.
Lin Yao picked up the phone and answered the call.
It was Zhang Jianghu who called.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm already preparing to put the team logo into the pass reward." Lin Yao said subconsciously.
Last time, she did promise the other party to put the champion logo of their event into the pass.
She thought Zhang Jianghu called to ask about this matter.
"Hehe..."
Zhang Jianghu smiled awkwardly after hearing Lin Yao's words, and then whispered: "Mr. Lin misunderstood. I called this time not for the pass, but for your company's new game..."
Lin Yao: "......?"
Why does this sound so familiar?
I may have to take a day off tomorrow to go back and worship my ancestors. I didn't go back last year because of the epidemic. If I don't go back, I will be accused of forgetting my ancestors...
Besides, my family members are all working outside, and it would be really inappropriate for me to not go alone.
I think I will go back at 5 o'clock tomorrow. If I come back early, I will update. If not, please forgive me.
Sorry everyone.
