Chapter 190 Rejection
"Bushnell Stars II?"
Linmu Studio.
Meeting room.
June monthly meeting.
Lin Yao was slightly surprised to hear the difficult name Mu Wanqing said.
Mu Wanqing nodded: "Well, have you heard of Bushnell? That game console company, this is the name of the new generation console they are going to launch."
"...Then this is too hard to remember."
Lin Yao was a little helpless. This is just like the naming of the consoles of the giant hard, which is difficult to remember. Until now, she would confuse the names of the consoles of the giant hard, and couldn't figure out which console was launched first and which one was launched later.
On the other hand, Sony is much easier to remember.
PS12345.
"It is indeed difficult to remember..."
Mu Wanqing felt the same way: "But the name is not the focus of our attention. The focus is that they want us to port the new game "Battle Royale" to their game console, and then adapt the controller, and it will be exclusive to their console..."
"Play FPS with the controller?"
Hearing Mu Wanqing's words.
Zhong Xiu, Zhu Nianqiao and others were instantly shocked.
"Can this kind of game be played with a controller?" Zhong Xiu complained with a smile.
"They are different from us. They can still play with a controller."
Lin Yao was not too surprised.
This is a problem of operating habits. It's okay
for domestic players to play action games with a controller, but playing FPS games is simply a disaster. If you rely on your thumb to move the joystick, the crosshairs will fly away instantly...
Often a player who plays well with a keyboard and mouse will become disabled once he uses a controller.
But it's different in Europe and the United States. Many players have been rubbing the controller since they were young, and many players even use the controller as a keyboard and mouse.
Not only can the joystick simulate the movement of the keyboard and mouse, but it can also aim accurately.
Even many players who are good at playing FPS with a keyboard and mouse can also play well with a controller.
This is really amazing for domestic players.
It can also be regarded as a difference in national conditions.
"I don't understand." Zhong Xiu shook his head and complained.
"I don't understand it either."
Lin Yao smiled. She was also the kind of person who couldn't find her way when playing FPS with a controller: "But adding controller adaptation is indeed what we need to do now. After all, many overseas players are still used to controlling controllers. Didn't we receive a lot of feedback before? They said they hope the PC side can add controller adaptation. Now is an opportunity."
At this point.
She turned to look at Mu Wanqing: "Miss Mu, they should have mentioned the exclusivity conditions, right?"
"Well, they will provide a sum of cash, but our game has been launched on the PC side, so the amount given is not as much as a truly exclusive game."
"That's fine, take the other party's money to port the game and make controller adaptation."
Lin Yao thought about it, and then looked at Zhong Xiu again.
"But the problem is, I don't know how to use a controller." Zhong Xiu smiled bitterly.
"Recruit people, it's impossible that there is no producer in China who can use a controller?"
Lin Yao said directly: "And multiple platforms and multiple sales are actually quite good. If it doesn't work, you can get some cash. In addition, we can just accumulate some experience."
It is indeed necessary to accumulate some experience.
Now the game platform is the focus of Linmu Studio, but who knows what will happen in the future, what if they make games that are released on all platforms?
"Okay..."
Zhong Xiu pondered for a moment, felt that it made sense, and nodded in agreement.
"In addition."
Seeing that Lin Yao had finished her explanation, Mu Wanqing immediately added: "Lin Yao, they also hope that we can make them a brand new exclusive game as a flagship game for their new platform."
"...Exclusive game? A flagship game?"
Lin Yao frowned slightly, then immediately shook her head: "Reject this, it's not necessary, we don't have the energy for the time being." It
is indeed unnecessary.
Although exclusive games are feasible here now.
But exclusivity does limit the audience of the game to a certain extent, and this is not a good idea, even if it can win a lot of cash for the studio.
Moreover, the more you go in the future, exclusive games will not work. In addition to first-party production companies, many third-party production companies are unwilling to sell their games on only one game platform, because landing on multiple platforms at the same time can create more topics and attention among the player community, thereby increasing the popularity of the game and further consolidating the audience of the game.
Unless... the exclusive platform really gives a lot.
In Lin Yao's previous life, even many first-party production companies gave up exclusives.
For example, Only On PlayStation, which became a joke...
The golden signboards of the PS3 era were all removed. It can only be said that times do change.
And the current situation of Linmu Studio is indeed not suitable for exclusives.
You know.
Now Linmu Studio's game platform is just starting up, and making exclusive games is digging a hole for yourself.
"I understand."
Mu Wanqing also knew Lin Yao's considerations and quickly agreed.
"Wait, Miss Mu, although we don't agree to them making exclusive games, ask them if they are willing to accept "Journey" to land on their console game platform."
Lin Yao suddenly thought of something and said.
"Journey", the key game of the Greenlight Project in Lin Yao's mind, is in full swing. Production.
Linmu Studio not only provided support for this game, but also served as a co-producer. Linmu Studio has the right to decide the release of the game.
Lin Yao is quite confident about this game.
If it can be launched on the host platform, the performance should not be too bad.
"Okay."
Mu Wanqing nodded again and agreed.
"Then the next is the last proposal. We have to relocate everyone."
Lin Yao ended the topic of the host and turned to the relocation issue that she had delayed for a long time: "The date is set on the 10th of this month. Everyone, be ready. Pack the things that need to be packed, and then the heads of the three games will prepare the corresponding emergency plans."
"Yeah."
Everyone present nodded.
Then.
Zhu Nianqiao suddenly smiled and said with a little excitement: "Finally, I can leave this broken place! Senior sister, you don't know that every day at work, I can meet the people from eBay Yaoshi Software. They all look at us strangely. I've had enough of it."
"Strange eyes?"
Lin Yao was a little surprised. She didn't notice this.
After work, she either chatted with Mu Wanqing or ran very fast... Who cares about other people's eyes.
"You must be envious."
Zhong Xiu said with some emotion: "After all, we were colleagues just last year, but this year, everything seems to have changed."
Yes.
Everything has changed.
After eBay was acquired by Sky Fox, its situation is not only not better than before, but even worse. After all, it
was raised by a stepmother.
On the other hand, Linmu Studio has been making great strides, and now even console game platforms have come to discuss cooperation.
You can imagine how complicated the feelings of eBay Yaoshi Software employees are.
I am almost jealous...
