Chapter 372 Problem
"...Forget it, there is no need to announce the console so early. Let's wait until it can be mass-produced."
Lin Yao thought carefully for a while, but still shook her head and rejected Bao Liangzhe's suggestion: "You also know that this console is different from most consoles and handheld game consoles on the market, and for many players, novelty is also one of the reasons to buy a console. Announcing it too early will consume the players' novelty, and there will be no benefit in selling the console.
In addition, after the entry of Reflecta Zodiac 1, the entire console market has become a mess. They are fighting hard, and if we announce our entry into the console market, something extraordinary will probably happen. The other two console manufacturers, and even Reflecta, are in a panic and may even join forces to kill us. After all, who wants more troublesome opponents.
So let's hold back for now."
"Okay, I understand."
Bao Liangzhe scratched his head after listening to Lin Yao's words, and he knew that he was too impatient.
"However, the vibration solution can be announced."
Lin Yao changed the subject: "After all, it is the result of your hard work, and what's wrong with our game company developing a vibration technology solution? Just find a reason, say it is for a hardware of Linmu Financial Holdings, say it wants to provide a technical solution for the game controller, or even say nothing, you can do it."
Bao Liangzhe nodded: "Okay, then I'll think about it."
"Well, you've worked hard, keep up the good work next time."
Lin Yao glanced at the console and showed an expectant expression.
This is the hope and opportunity for Linmu Financial Holdings to completely complete its transformation.
I hope everything goes well.
"I'm going down, you guys are busy."
Lin Yao retracted her gaze, waved her hand, and said goodbye to the people present.
Turned and left the test room.
After leaving the room.
Lin Yao began to consider the next production plan.
But at this time.
"Senior sister."
Zhu Nianqiao seemed to have something else to do, and followed him out.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yao turned around and looked at the silly girl next to her.
Zhu Nianqiao took Lin Yao's arm, smiled at her, and then said, "I don't understand something about the new game, I want to ask you for advice."
"Don't worry, the direction I told you before was just for you to make some preparations. The whole studio will help with the official planning."
Lin Yao shook her arm and tried to shake her hand off: "What are you worried about."
"I'm the head of the console game department, is it okay for me to be curious?"
Zhu Nianqiao hugged Lin Yao's arm tightly and stuck to her.
"...Okay, I'll tell you something."
Lin Yao sighed and had to give up the idea of slacking off. It happened that she was also thinking about the escort masterpiece just now, so she took her back to her seat.
Sit down again.
Lin Yao took out a new A4 paper, and Zhu Nianqiao also pulled a chair and sat down next to Lin Yao obediently.
Lin Yao took a pen, shook it gently, and then wrote the four words "Breath of the Wild" on the paper.
Switch's escort masterpiece is actually not very eye-catching.
Let's not talk about "1-2-Switch" for now.
Other games such as Just Dance, Isaac, Nobunaga's Ambition, and Dragon Quest are all new remakes of old games.
The remaining games are very unknown.
So when the console was first released, Breath of the Wild was the undisputed leader.
As for other excellent first-party works...
such as Mario Kart 8, ARMS, Splatoon, Fire Emblem, Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles...and a large number of Pokémon and Mario-related games.
They were all released after the console was released.
But to be honest...
a console cannot only have blockbusters, but also works to make up the number, otherwise it will be really difficult to make.
So it is understandable.
Before the release of "The Witch", Lin Yao actually thought about the escort works of Linmu Studio's console.
"Breath of the Wild" and "1-2-Switch" are definitely not to be mentioned.
In addition to these two, Mario Kart can be made. This kind of casual racing game is also considered innovative in this world and is expected to be very popular.
Then ARMS, a pure somatosensory game, can also be made.
But works such as Super Mario, Xenoblade Chronicles, and Fire Emblem can be postponed.
As for Splatoon, it's more troublesome... Although it's very interesting, with the current human resources of Linmu Studio, it's probably not enough.
"..."
Lin Yao thought while starting to write down the planned works on paper.
In fact, it's "Breath of the Wild" and "1-2-Switch", and the works to make up the number are a few smaller games in the summer special promotion, plus a Mario Kart and an ARMS.
The latter two games don't have to be released with the console, and they can be released later.
"Well... that's about it."
Lin Yao frowned as she wrote.
She handed the A4 paper to Zhu Nianqiao.
"Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Kart, ARMS..."
Zhu Nianqiao automatically skipped the ported works, read the new works on it softly, then looked up and asked, "Senior sister, isn't this too little?"
"Indeed..."
Lin Yao heard Zhu Nianqiao's words and said inwardly, as expected.
She didn't think so when she was thinking about it before, but now that she wrote it down, it does feel a bit too little...
A console, at least less than two thousand.
You don't have to say that the escort masterpiece makes players feel that it is worth buying.
At least you have to paint enough cakes so that players feel that the future is promising.
But now Lin Yao's lineup is really not promising in the future...
But on the other hand.
Linmu Studio has a game platform with a large number of online games. If you add multiple console masterpieces...
the production pressure will be too high.
Sure enough.
I am afraid of thinking about everything.
Once I think about it carefully, there are a lot of problems.
Lin Yao took the A4 paper from Zhu Nianqiao again, tapped the pen, and added Pokémon and Splatoon on it.
"That's almost it."
Zhu Nianqiao leaned over and took a look at the works written by Lin Yao: "Senior, can you tell me about these works?"
"Wait."
Lin Yao tapped the pen again, looked at the names of the works on the paper, frowned slightly, and all the thoughts of slacking off were gone.
It's a bit troublesome.
Now there are two main problems.
Big works can be made, but in the short term, only two or three can be selected, which is the limit.
If you want to make more, you need to consider the issue of manpower.
Recruiting people is a solution.
But it takes time for them to get into the rhythm and take on the corresponding work immediately.
Another problem is that some smaller works, that is, the games that make up the number, feel a little too few...
Not long ago, Lin Yao's idea was to port several works from the previous summer special promotion to the console, but Zhu Nianqiao's words just now woke her up.
Even if all those games are ported to the console, it is still too few.
There should be at least 20 games.
No matter how to make up.
In the early days of the console, at least 20 games were given to players to choose from, which was barely qualified.
But now it is not enough.
What to do?
Acquire the production team? Seek help from a third party? Expand the scale? Or Linmu Studio will take it?
Well...
Lin Yao suddenly felt like she had just come to this world and faced that "Fantasy OL".
The problem is very tricky.
I really want to give up...
Some time ago, "Witch" really involved too much of her mind...
It made her ignore many difficulties in production.
Now I have something to worry about...
Zhu Nianqiao glanced at Lin Yao's profile, quieted down, and didn't disturb her again.
Lin Yao is the hardest-working person in Lin Mu's studio, and also the most capable one...
and now she is frowning, as if she has encountered some troublesome problems.
She thinks that troublesome problems...
must be very troublesome.
