Chapter 198 Are you a devil?
Lin Yao's previous thoughts have always been on making a large-scale 3A stand-alone game and making more online games.
Occasionally, she would think about how to trick some big companies into launching masterpieces on their own Vaporwave game platform.
But she has never thought about Linmu Studio going out on its own and making some small-scale independent games.
After all, who would think of stealing business from themselves?
But Chen Qiuwen's words woke her up.
Linmu Studio may not necessarily steal business from Greenlight. Greenlight is Greenlight. Now that the Vaporwave game platform is at a critical stage, why can't Linmu Studio launch some independent games?
This can not only consolidate the advantages, but also add strength to make the heat more sustained, and it can increase the game library and cultivate players' payment awareness.
In the future, new Greenlight plans to launch games.
Because of the training of Linmu Studio, it may sell better.
The most important thing is.
Independent games are made quickly.
As Chen Qiuwen said.
The most troublesome thing about this kind of game is creativity and gameplay.
As long as these two points are solved, mass production is not a dream at all.
And Lin Yao happens to have experience in this area...
"Nianqiao."
Lin Yao lowered his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhu Nianqiao on his left.
"Ah?" Zhu Nianqiao raised her head, her face a little surprised.
"Hand over your work to the deputy team leader, and temporarily put aside the work on "Fantasy OL". After you hand over, come to me."
Lin Yao explained.
Now Linmu Studio has a total of three games.
"Breakout", "Battle Royale", "Fantasy OL".
And "Fantasy OL" is the most stable and the least worrying game.
Because this game has been operating for the longest time, has the strongest foundation, and has a very stable player base.
So when Lin Yao needed someone, the first person he thought of was Zhu Nianqiao.
"Oh, okay..."
Zhu Nianqiao nodded obediently, and then wanted to ask something, but Lin Yao was about to leave.
"You continue the meeting, and Miss Mu will host it next. I have something to do..."
Lin Yao left a sentence and then trotted out of the meeting room.
Everyone in the conference room felt helpless when they saw the boss, who was full of youth and who would leave at will like a high school girl.
But everyone was used to it.
Lin Yao, the boss, had always been very good at management, but had always been active in creation.
In fact, Mu Wanqing had always been in charge of management.
This trust was really exaggerated.
Some people were even worried about what Mu Wanqing would do... After all, finance and personnel were now in Mu Wanqing's hands.
If she wanted to do something, others couldn't stop her, and it was even difficult to find out.
But fortunately, Mu Wanqing had never failed Lin Yao's trust.
"Ahem."
On the other side.
Mu Wanqing was very calm.
After coughing twice to attract everyone's attention, she continued to preside over the meeting.
...
Lin Yao returned to her seat.
Other ordinary staff outside the conference room were used to the boss running out early during the meeting, and they were very calm.
But Lin Yao didn't run out this time to slack off, but to implement the idea inspired by Chen Qiuwen's words.
That is to temporarily give up online games, and wait until the number of online game users grows to a certain level before making a big move.
Linmu Studio will focus on making independent games first to consolidate the advantages of the Vaporwave game platform.
Lin Yao does not plan to make one independent game.
Instead, he plans to make many.
These games may not pursue high quality, but they must be fun.
And it is best to take all types into consideration. By the way, during this period, servers will be laid out in China and overseas to completely establish the Vaporwave game platform.
This task is actually quite arduous, mainly in terms of games, because a person's inspiration is limited. If you launch multiple independent games at once, even if you don't pursue the graphics, the gameplay and creativity alone can drive the producer crazy.
But Lin Yao has a unique advantage.
That is experience.
So in terms of gameplay, Lin Yao wrote the first game, "Mario", not long after opening the document.
Hmm.
Mario.
Although there is a suspicion of going backwards... It feels a bit strange to make pixel-style games after making 3D games.
But pixel-style games are indeed fast to make, especially under the premise that Lin Yao remembers all the levels.
And when it comes to platform jumping games, this is Lin Yao's signature in his previous life.
Lin Yao plans to upgrade the graphics of this game and then price the game at one dollar.
Yes, one dollar.
Lin Yao also plans to set a low price for other games.
She has even thought about the subsequent promotion.
She will package and promote all the independent games she will make next, and then add a green -90% logo and use slogans such as "all one dollar" and "all less than ten dollars"...
She doesn't think about making money from these games. She has only one purpose, to consolidate the platform's advantages and cultivate users' payment habits.
Players may feel bad for games that cost dozens of dollars.
But for games that cost only a few dollars or even one dollar,
plus the name of Linmu Studio, most players are still willing to pay for them.
And as they pay more and more, they may get used to it...
By the way, Linmu Studio can also maintain some IPs.
"Well, to achieve this, first of all, there must be enough games, but they can't all be simple and interesting games. If we add one or two 3D games appropriately, the advertising effect will be better... Then what type of games should be made into 3D? Horror games...?"
Lin Yao finished typing the rules of Mario's gameplay, then pondered for a moment and added a detail.
Soon,
she had coded out the entire Vaporwave game platform expansion plan.
At the same time, the meeting in the conference room was also adjourned.
When Lin Yao started to draw the concept map of the game, Zhu Nianqiao had also finished her work and ran to her with full energy.
"Senior sister!"
"Wait a moment."
Lin Yao said without turning her head.
Zhu Nianqiao could only pull up a chair and sit down, then leaned over to look at what Lin Yao drew.
Lin Yao drew a deep corridor, which looked nothing special, but for some reason, Zhu Nianqiao suddenly felt creepy and got goose bumps as she looked at it.
"Senior, what is this?"
"Conceptual drawing, concept drawing of a horror game."
"Huh?"
"Don't worry, go call Zhong Xiu over if you have nothing to do, and you two can work together next."
"...Okay."
Zhu Nianqiao saw that Lin Yao was very busy, so she had to run to call Zhong Xiu.
When she and Zhong Xiu came back, Lin Yao was already drawing another setting picture.
This time it was a character.
A very cartoon-like character.
A big nose, a hat, overalls, and a beard.
"What's wrong?"
Zhong Xiu poked his head and looked at what Lin Yao was drawing, and then asked.
"Take a look at this, and you need to work with me to realize this plan next, of course, only the game aspect. Don't worry about the server part."
Lin Yao heard Zhong Xiu's voice, then raised her head and handed the information that she had just asked Mu Wanqing to print to the two of them.
"...Big Wind Blowing Plan?"
Zhong Xiu looked at the name of the plan with a strange expression, and then opened it to read the plan.
It didn't matter at first glance.
Although the whole plan was very serious.
But Zhong Xiu still saw Lin Yao's purpose from the gaps between the words, that is to eat people! ...No, the players' wallets!
"Damn it!"
Zhong Xiu suddenly raised his head, widened his eyes, looked at the girl in front of him with a high ponytail and full of energy, and said: "Are you a devil..."
Lin Yao: "..."
