Chapter 202 The Highly Prolific Linmu Studio
"...I don't know."
Lin Yao thought for a while after hearing Zhong Xiu's question and shook her head.
She really didn't know.
This time she launched so many games, covering a variety of genres, and she was also thinking of casting a wide net.
Although many of these games had been tested by the market in Lin Yao's previous life.
But after the baptism of "Battle Royale",
Lin Yao was no longer too superstitious about her own experience.
"Don't know..." Zhong Xiu was a little surprised
by Lin Yao's reply . "Well, whether it will be popular or not depends on the market, which is difficult to predict. Don't forget that our original intention of making these games is to make some games that are more stable and interesting compared to the uneven third-party games." Lin Yao smiled and said, "But there is no necessary relationship between stability and fun and popularity, and our goal is not to make the game popular. Of course, popularity is better... but for us, forming a certain word-of-mouth effect is actually enough. So you asked me which game will be the most popular. I don't know, or I hope they will all be popular." "This... okay." Zhong Xiu laughed after hearing this: "But to be honest, Lin Yao, according to your strategy, the prices of the games this time are extremely low, and it is almost impossible to make a profit in the early stage. We are losing money making games... Using the money earned from online games to make independent games is still losing money. Although I understand your plan, many staff members actually didn't understand it at the beginning." Lin Yao shrugged: "Many producers don't understand it either. Miss Mu has been harassed every day recently, but I can't say anything. They also have their own stance. Let's do our best and leave it to fate. I hope that the strategy can succeed and the game platform can really gain a foothold. By then, the game can be sold better and the doubts will disappear." "Yeah." Zhong Xiu nodded, and then joked: "If it really succeeds, then perhaps all the independent game makers and stand-alone game makers in the country will thank you." "Forget it, I hope they don't scold me." Lin Yao was a little amused. "Guess, Lin Yao, which of our next games do you think will be popular?" Seeing her expression, Zhong Xiu did not continue this topic, but asked: "You should have a particularly confident one, right?" "Well... "Shadow", it's also a masterpiece." Lin Yao casually mentioned the game running on Zhong Xiu's computer, and then asked: "What about you? You have one too?" "Yeah. " "Which one?" "All of them." Lin Yao: "..." Really giving face. ... Time came to July 5th. Linmu Studio, which had been silent for a long time. Finally took action. Action against the Vaporwave game platform. For the first time, they removed the Greenlight promotion banner on the Vaporwave game platform and put up a green promotion banner with a countdown... It said "Summer Special Sale"... It will officially start on July 10th. Although the banner has no jump link yet. But the simple and clear words "Summer Special Sale" still let the players immediately understand what Linmu Studio wants to do. The game will be discounted! Although the players are a little puzzled that Linmu Studio has made such a big fuss when there are only a few games. But some players are really interested in the two games of the Greenlight program and "Battle Royale". Some players who were hesitant when they saw the price were quite happy to see the promotion news, and decided that if the promotion is strong, it is not impossible to buy it and play it. At the same time. Those independent game makers, stand-alone game makers and Lin Yao's colleagues also noticed the actions of the Vaporwave game platform. They were also puzzled, but not only because Linmu Studio made such a big fuss, but also because of the time they chose to launch the event. Because the popularity of "Journey" has passed. Why do you want to promote it now? Are you mistaken... What's the point? And... "Just these few games? Promotion? Do you think it's a big supermarket? It's over, wait for death." Du Kaiding, the boss of Conggu Studio, looked at the brightly colored promotional banners hanging high on the Vaporwave game platform and frowned. He thought Linmu Studio was crazy! Well. When the platform was popular because of "Journey", they did nothing and added many rules and regulations to third-party games that wanted to be on the Vaporwave game platform, and they had to review them! Now the popularity has passed. The action is coming again. Why do you want to promote it in a big way? The problem is how many games do you have on your platform! ? It's hard to understand. It's inexplicable. This is Du Kaiding's most direct thought. Many people in the game industry have similar ideas to Du Kaiding, and they can't figure out what Linmu Studio is thinking. I always feel that Linmu Studio's strategy in terms of game platforms ... is very strange. And the time came to July 6th.
Perhaps it was due to the feedback from the players.
Linmu Studio added a line of notes on the summer special promotion page.
That is - for this summer special promotion, whether games in the Greenlight program and third-party games participate is decided by the producers.
It would have been fine if there was no note, but this time.
The players were also confused.
No. Whether
games in the Greenlight program and third-party games participate is decided by the producers... If they don't participate, then your promotion is just "Battle Royale"?
Why?
Why make such a big fuss?
The players were puzzled.
Soon, a hanging picture made by a silly netizen appeared on the forum - a man excitedly opened the conspicuous promotion page on the homepage of the Vaporwave game platform, but there was only "Battle Royale" hanging on it. The man's excited expression disappeared instantly, and his face was expressionless...
The players began to laugh at Linmu Studio for making a big fuss.
The entire gaming circle was filled with a happy atmosphere...
But.
This situation did not last long.
Because on the same day that Linmu Studio added the note.
A new game has been added to the "coming soon" list of the Vaporwave gaming platform.
This game is called "Mario", a platform jumping game, and the producer is clearly written as... Linmu Studio!
The original price of the game is 10 yuan, and there is a promotional sign on it, -90%, now only 1 yuan!
It is in the pre-order stage!
This is also the first game on the Vaporwave gaming platform's summer special promotion page.
Just when the players found this game, they were a little surprised and were about to share it on the forum.
Linmu Studio put the second game on the shelves a few minutes later, called "Shadow", a horror game, and the producer is also Linmu Studio!
The original price of the game is 70, and there is also a promotional sign on it, -90%, only 7 yuan!
In a very short period of time.
Linmu Studio suddenly released two new games.
The players who saw it were stunned.
What the hell?
Promotion after release?
Besides, this is too high, right?
The players were confused, but this was just the beginning.

(I don't know why I couldn't fall asleep last night, so I just took a nap for two hours. I was in a trance when I got home from work. If there are any questions, I will correct them tomorrow. Sorry...)
