Chapter 406 Tension
December 22nd.
The e-sports festival preliminaries officially started.
After the ten-day preliminaries,
it was time for the main competition.
Because there are many events in the entire e-sports festival, and the competition rules of each event are completely different, ten days is actually quite tense.
But Nie Hui is confident.
His branch company is also confident.
Then Lin Yao didn't say anything, just let them do it.
She didn't ask too much about the competition.
Now Lin Yao's work focus is almost entirely on the console.
During this period,
in addition to inserting Easter eggs into the e-sports festival promotional video, which once again caused a wave of discussion.
Linmu Studio has successively announced more than a dozen game logos.
These are all new works.
There are first-party works of Linmu Studio, and there are also works of the third-party Greenlight production team.
For example, the production team that produced "Journey" is the first developer to get the swich development kit.
Their new work will be launched on Linmu Studio's console, and they have signed a very strict confidentiality agreement.
Not to mention the console.
Even the games produced cannot be disclosed.
So this also led to that none of the game logos announced by Linmu Studio before were recognized by players.
But in the past ten days, these unfamiliar game logos have almost been exhausted.
Soon, some game logos that players can recognize at a glance will be announced.
This also means that the console will be announced...
Lin Yao is actually quite nervous.
Most of the studio has been working non-stop for so long, and Lin Yao herself has spent so much thought, plus the investment of Linmu Financial Holdings.
If the console fails,
the consequences will be disastrous.
Not only will the investment of Linmu Studio go down the drain, but also many investments of Linmu Financial Holdings will go down the drain.
In order to transform, Linmu Financial Holdings has sold all the high-quality land on hand, and some unnecessary industries have been cut down, and then a large number of factories have been built to produce consoles for Linmu Studio.
If it fails,
Linmu Studio will be seriously injured, and Linmu Financial Holdings will face the dilemma of direct bankruptcy.
After all, although the sale of high-quality land has repaid some loans, Linmu Financial Holdings' debt ratio is still very high.
The investment in the entire console project is too large.
It is not comparable to making two or three games.
It really failed.
It is estimated that Lin Yao will sell the headquarters building under construction, and then make online games for a few years to help Linmu Financial Holdings pay off its debts...
So at this moment, if you say you are not nervous, that would be a lie.
Lin Yao was very nervous, and she almost hugged Mu Wanqing and said she was nervous...
But at this time, being nervous was useless...
"Prepare to announce it."
Lin Yao sat in her seat and breathed a sigh of relief: "Just announce the game logo of "Sword and Blade."
Zhong Xiu nodded solemnly: "Okay." "
Sword and Blade" was launched in the special promotion event last summer.
This game has been released.
Announcing it at this time is almost equivalent to a stone hammer.
"You don't have to worry too much. I am excited about our console. You have spent so much time laying the groundwork, it will definitely be a great success."
Zhong Xiu thought about it and comforted Lin Yao.
He could see that Lin Yao was a little nervous.
"Yeah."
Lin Yao nodded, then looked at Zhu Nianqiao beside her, picked up the plan made after the e-sports festival promotional video was released, and handed it to her.
Zhu Nianqiao took it with some doubts.
"Let the production team of Mario Kart take charge of the new game."
Lin Yao explained, "We can't think about the failure of the console, but we should think about having new games for players to play every once in a while after the console is released. This is the first plan, and there will be more in the future. Your console product department will be responsible for the production of console games in the future. Zhong Xiu will be responsible for the dual-end login or ported games."
"I understand."
Zhu Nianqiao nodded, and while flipping through the plan, he asked, "What is the name of the new game this time?"
"Pokémon, Pokémon."
Lin Yao said the name, and then explained, "This game may not perform well in the early stage, but this kind of gameplay suitable for all ages is very suitable for promotion. I plan to make it a long-term plan, you pay attention."
The popularity of Pokémon is the result of 20 years of accumulation, coupled with the strong promotion in the later stage, some opportunities and animation, which made it popular all over the world.
Lin Yao did not have high expectations for the popularity of the first game.
This is also the reason why she did not choose the Pokémon game as the first game.
However.
The four most classic core gameplays of Pokémon, namely collecting, developing, exchanging and fighting, plus the painting style suitable for all ages, can allow all different players to find different fun.
The potential is huge.
So Lin Yao immediately thought about making a work to test the waters.
The Pokémon game that Lin Yao chose this time is the ninth generation "Pokémon Legends: Arceus".
This is the latest Pokémon game in Lin Yao's previous life, and it is also the one that Lin Yao remembers most clearly.
"Wow... so cute."
On the other side.
Zhu Nianqiao turned to a certain illustration, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and then she quickly flipped through the pages.
One cute Pokémon after another appeared on the paper.
Halfway through,
Zhu Nianqiao raised her head and looked at Lin Yao with shining eyes.
"..."
Lin Yao met Zhu Nianqiao's gaze and smiled. Isn't there a fan now?
Facts have proved that
although there is no accumulation,
this kind of game does have an audience.
"I thought the senior sister could only draw guns, swords, knives and the like."
Zhu Nianqiao looked at Lin Yao, sighed at her cuteness, and then said: "Sure enough, the senior sister still has a girlish heart... Oh, so maybe the senior sister has always thought I'm cute!"
"You dare to say that."
Lin Yao rolled her eyes at her.
"Of course, I think the senior sister is very cute!" Zhu Nianqiao patted her chest and said with full energy.
"Thank you."
"No need~"
"Stop being funny! Let me tell you about the characteristics of this game."
"Oh..."
on the other side.
Zhong Xiu glanced at the two of them, smiled, then turned and left to prepare to announce the logo of "Sword and Blade".
Lin Yao spent nearly an hour explaining the core gameplay of the Pokémon series to Zhu Nianqiao.
Then she sent her away.
As for the specific production, the planning book after completing the mechanism is completely a hand-in-hand teaching of the game.
She doesn't need to say more.
"..."
Lin Yao watched Zhu Nianqiao leave excitedly and stretched.
At this time.
Mu Wanqing, holding a stack of information, passed by Zhu Nianqiao, and then came to Lin Yao, and asked curiously: "Lin Yao, what did you say to Zhu Nianqiao just now? She kept saying cute and cute all the way..."
"A new game."
Lin Yao replied, then turned around and picked up a few Pokémon illustrations with some flaws on the table, raised her hands and showed them to Mu Wanqing: "Here."
"...I understand."
Mu Wanqing glanced at the illustrations, then stared at Lin Yao's face and nodded gently.
"I always feel like you've misunderstood something..."
Lin Yao put down the illustration and sighed, "Forget it... Miss Mu, I'm so nervous."
"Host?"
Mu Wanqing asked.
"Yeah."
Lin Yao nodded.
"..."
Mu Wanqing smiled softly, then put down the information in her arms, held Lin Yao's wrist, pulled her up, hugged her, and said firmly: "It will definitely succeed!"
"...I hope so."
Lin Yao rested her face on Mu Wanqing's shoulder and smiled.
...Speaking of which, Miss Mu's neck is so white.
Lin Yao stared at Mu Wanqing's fair and slender neck, and her attention was suddenly diverted.
Although she was still nervous, she was much better.
...
That day.
Linmu Studio's one-month console marketing.
Ushered in a turning point.
Linmu Studio announced a new logo on its official social media account.
And this logo, many players recognize it.
The three words "Sword and Blade" slowly emerged, and then the sword and sword crossed and appeared in the background of the three words...
It was the game that was specially promoted last summer -
"Sword and Blade"!
As soon as this logo animation came out, the debate about what Linmu Studio was doing came to an abrupt end.
A game that has already landed on the PC side, the Vaporwave game platform, announcing the logo at this time is no longer a hint.
It is a clear indication!
The game will be launched on other platforms!
What other platforms are there besides consoles!
It’s a hammer!
It’s completely a hammer!
The momentum and sense of expectation created by Linmu Studio’s long-term marketing and deliberate daily logo announcements reached its peak on this day.
Unbelievable.
Suspicious.
Then, after making sure that I was not mistaken.
Then, ecstasy followed.
Lin Yao’s previous worries were completely unnecessary.
The expectations of players have been raised very high, even those players who don’t believe that Linmu Studio will make consoles.
In fact, deep in their hearts, they also have some thoughts.
Because they are Linmu Studio.
What if they also do something different for the console?
Therefore, after the "Blade & Sword" logo was announced, the sense of expectation lingering in the hearts of players, the foreshadowing of Linmu Studio during this period.
It was directly detonated.
"Ahhh! I said it was a console! Linmu Studio is trying to cover up the truth!"
"Is it really a console?"
"Really? Then why did the previous Battlefield and Tomb Raider come to other consoles... I feel so disappointed."
"Wait, these logos are games? Doesn't that mean that all those logos in front are new games!? Thirty days, a game is announced every day... Damn, I'm suddenly so excited."
"It's a game, the opening with a click is definitely a console! What console is it! [Excited]."
"How much is the console? I couldn't help but buy Reflecta Zodiac 1 before, if the console from Linmu Studio is too expensive, I can't afford it (crying)."
"After more than 20 days of preparation, it's finally confirmed... It's been prepared for a long time, I'm so excited!"
"Announce it soon! Hope it won't disappoint people!"
"Lin Yao, everyone guessed it! Announce it! Let's see what kind of console it is!"
"..."
The players were very excited.
They looked like everyone had guessed it, otherwise Lin Yao would announce the console now.
Of course, Lin Yao couldn't announce it now.
I just felt relieved.
At the same time.
Tianhu.
A marketing manager who was packing up and preparing to leave also learned the news before leaving Tianhu.
He looked at his phone, then looked at the location of Li Guangsheng's office, and sighed.
This is Linmu Studio.
It's not that everyone is not working hard. It's
just that the other party has spent too much time...
Now let's see the players' reactions.
Even if the other party sells a piece of junk next month, I guess there will be many players willing to buy it.
The former marketing manager of Tianhu thought of this, sighed again, hugged his things, and turned to leave Tianhu...
