Chapter 577 Bonfire outside the headquarters of Linmu Studio
The turbulent transition between the old and new generations.
Not to mention the players, many things even exceeded Lin Yao's expectations.
For example... the actions of Jiaming Alliance.
Yesterday, Linmu Studio announced that the shipment volume of its Future S1 officially exceeded 3.5 million and was rapidly heading towards 4 million.
Moreover, with the completion of the acquisition, Changlian Group began to borrow employees from the original mobile phone factory of Youmei to quickly get into the state and switch to the production of Future S1.
Now the delivery date for users who pre-order mobile phones has been advanced.
In addition, the customized version of Future S1 launched by the communication operators has been very popular in the market at all levels.
It has also greatly driven the 4G business.
This has allowed the cooperating communication operators to increase their publicity and promotion efforts.
And thanks to the channels that the communication operators have penetrated into various cities, the popularity of Future S1 is now getting higher and higher.
Players, most ordinary people.
Now have heard of such a completely different new mobile phone.
In addition.
Future store has also begun to exert its strength.
After the developer conference, more and more third-party applications have been launched on Future store recently.
This earliest mobile software distribution platform has a good reputation.
The name of convenience is deeply rooted in the hearts of developers and users.
The incubator plan of Linmu Investment has also announced the first batch of applications that have received investment...
In short, there have been too many news about Future S1
during this period . But on the other hand, Jiaming Alliance has put the development of a new operating system on the agenda, but it has not been promoted. They want to build their own application mall, but they cannot reach a consensus with developers, and there are also internal disagreements. Originally, they wanted to cause some trouble for Youmei on the supplier side. But because Youmei is raising funds, too many financing institutions are interested. The big capital among them is crisscrossed and covers a wide range of industries. Now that Future S1 is thriving, more and more people are scrambling for the opportunity to enter the game . In order to enter the game, they directly helped solve the problem of suppliers as a token of their participation! At this moment, Jiaming Alliance can be said to have exhausted all strategies. There is really no way out. On one hand, Future S1 is in full swing. On the other hand, Jiaming Alliance is declining. Watching the biggest competitor thrive in front of them. And it's getting more and more exaggerated. No one can stand this. So the domestic Jiaming Alliance was silent for a while, and then they got angry! After internal discussions and wrangling, they directly went to jointly exert pressure! Yes. There is no Future S1 overseas now, you think it doesn't matter, you think the future is still in the hands of Jiaming Alliance. Then what should we do in China? Not to promote the development of new systems, right? Then we will leave Jiaming Alliance as a whole! Develop a new system by ourselves! We will break up! No one will live! The domestic market is huge, and the mobile phones of domestic Jiaming Alliance members are sold to many countries and regions, and they have a lot of say. This attitude of breaking up was put out. The helmsman of Jiaming Alliance got up from bed in the middle of the night, and then called the heads of domestic mobile phone manufacturers one by one to appease them. Then the next day. In the internal meeting of Jiaming Alliance. The development of the new system that was put on the agenda began to advance rapidly. Even the proportion of capital investment was resolved in a short time, because domestic mobile phone manufacturers don't mind paying more. But the condition is that it must be fast, and domestic Jiaming Alliance members must be the first to install the new system. Once this was said, other members were not good at saying anything. And their new system... is benchmarked against Future OS. Not only that. In addition to exerting pressure. Domestic Jiaming Alliance members also quickly reached an agreement that each company will integrate its product lines in the future and launch all-touch screen mobile phones in a unified manner, striving to use this stupid method to solve the adaptation problem before the new system appears. Of course, some manufacturers are unwilling to do this. After all, in addition to touch screen phones, the market for other feature phones still has a lot of profit space. But several leading mobile phone manufacturers pushed forward together, with an attitude of either life or death, and convinced nearly 80% of the members. After these two moves, under the promotion of several leading mobile phone manufacturers. Jiaming Mobile Application Alliance was officially established. They quickly reached an agreement internally to launch the application store on touch screen phones first, and then reached an agreement with developers to take the same commission as Linmu Studio, and promised to solve the model adaptation problem within Jiaming Alliance as soon as possible, and no longer restrict multi-platform login! These days. The advantages of Jiaming Alliance as an alliance... can be said to have been fully utilized! Lin Yao was very surprised by this. Because it was really too fast...
They completed this dazzling operation in less than ten days.
After all,
they are not Nokia.
Moreover, domestic mobile phone manufacturers, who are at the forefront of the new era, have been hit particularly hard.
So their desire to survive is also particularly strong.
And when they unite, the energy they burst out will be even stronger!
Soon,
domestic developers discovered that
in addition to Future S1,
Jiaming Alliance seems to have a plan.
Although, it will take some time for their app store to go online.
After all, making up your mind and completing the layout are two different things.
Although their app store has promised to only go online on touch-screen phones, most developers estimate that there will still be an adaptation process for so many mobile phone models at that time.
They have simply transferred the user's active adaptation process to the app store.
In terms of experience, it should be far inferior to the single model, the new system Future S1.
But think about the current popularity of Future store... think about the download volume of those listed apps, think about the revenue of that accounting software.
It's worth betting on!
Soon,
the major development teams quickly reached a consensus and planned to bet on both ends!
In addition to developing software for Future S1, a place was also reserved for Jiaming Alliance.
As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
Jiaming Alliance is not dead yet! Even now it is still in a strong position.
And because of the stimulus, they have fully transformed and followed the footsteps of Future S1.
Then the users they have accumulated over the years... are really much more than Future S1.
It is worth betting on anyway!
And this will bring a series of chain reactions...
If it is said that
Future S1 opens the future.
Then Jiaming Alliance's move will undoubtedly add fuel to the future.
Even.
This has affected Youmei's financing.
Because Jiaming Alliance seems to have recovered.
It's okay for them to stay the same, but now they are twisted into a rope. Will the huge number of users they have accumulated become an obstacle to Future S1?
Although there are still many investment institutions that want to enter Youmei, the response of Jiaming Alliance has indeed made many investors murmur.
Lin Yao doesn't mind.
Invest if you like.
In addition, the external environment has also changed a lot because of Jiaming Alliance's move.
——The future belongs to the mobile world.
This sentence
has been mentioned by the media more than once.
Future S1 and Jiaming Alliance
have shaped this future for everyone.
They are pioneers.
Although Jiaming Alliance has not achieved much yet,
Linmu Studio’s six mobile games have all become hits!
If this is not considered an achievement, then what is?
Moreover, in mid-May, the first third-party game was also launched on Future store.
In two days,
it was downloaded 500,000 times!
Although this mobile game is not as good as the mobile games under Linmu Studio,
the acceptance of mobile games by casual players... can be imagined.
The shipment volume of Future S1 mobile phone is only a few million!
What will happen if Jiaming Alliance is included?
Let’s not talk about other software.
Mobile games... are now a blue ocean! It is the future!
Mobile games! Can’t fall behind!
This is the idea of all Linmu Studio colleagues.
So soon.
As Jiaming Alliance adjusted,
major game companies began to announce that they would increase their investment in mobile games.
Kesi Entertainment said it would add another 1 billion.
A new company called Yile announced that it would specifically target the mobile game market, and in a short period of time, it received an angel round investment of three million.
Even Tianhu, the second largest company in China, could not remain calm at this time.
They announced that they would officially launch their own mobile games this year, and confirmed that the mobile games would be the first to land on Future S1.
In addition, the person in charge, Mou Feng, also stated at the end that Tianhu would increase its investment in mobile games in the future.
As soon as these words came out,
Tianhu's stock price immediately rose.
At this time,
although it was not as exaggerated as the period when Lin Yao's skin-changing mobile games were popular in her previous life,
mobile games have indeed been reborn because of Linmu Studio and have become one of the hottest outlets.
Major companies have jumped out and announced that they will make mobile games.
But on the other hand, since the announcement of Future S1,
traditional terminal games and stand-alone games seem to have been forgotten...
many players.
Apart from the recent Hearthstone, the most impressive game I can think of is actually last year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2...
Yes.
During this period, even Linmu Studio has not made any new moves recently.
Game circle.
Square.
"Do you think there will be a mobile game of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in the future?"
Such a post
suddenly appeared.
Then it directly silenced most of the players who have not recovered yet and are still stuck in the old era.
There is no way.
The impact of various news during this period is too great for them.
Maybe they will change in the future, understand the rationality of the existence of mobile games, and play them. After all,
no one can stop the trend of the times.
But at this moment.
They really haven't recovered yet .
Because of the existence of Linmu Studio, they didn't even go through a gradual process. They
were thrown directly into the new era.
So under that post.
After discussion, the players all felt that this was very likely...
Then, they began to recall the past.
They sincerely recalled the happy times that the game brought them before under the post...
During.
A user named "Big Fat Ragdoll Cat" left a message saying "Stupid Player" and was considered a troublemaker...
That was it.
Players reminisced about the past and pushed the number up to 10,000.
Until... a new post appeared.
That diverted their attention.
[Look! A bonfire appeared on the LED screen outside the Linmu Studio headquarters! ]
This post was posted by a local player in Pengcheng.
He passed by the Linmu Studio headquarters building and suddenly found a burning bonfire on the LED screen outside the building.
He posted it immediately.
The sudden action of Linmu Studio attracted the attention of many players.
"What is this? A mobile game?"
"It's not a mobile game, it should be the bonfire of Dark Souls 2."
"Eh!? The modeling is really similar, is it really Dark Souls 2? My era is back!?"
"This is normal... This is a game announced last year, and it has been completed. As for when it will return, let's not talk about it, it's very difficult, I guess this is the end of an era to some extent."
"Indeed, I don't believe that Linmu Studio, which opened the door to mobile games with its own hands, will go back and take the old path... This is the end of an era to some extent, play and cherish it."
"You are so sentimental! You have a game to play and you are still a fool! It's not like the server is shut down and the data is sealed!
" "That's right... Linmu Studio! Don't let people down this time! Don't let me down with Dark Souls 2!"
"It's hot! Brothers [crying]."
"Damn! Aren't you still a fool?"
"..."
In short.
Players guessed that this bonfire was Dark Souls 2 announced last year, but they seemed to be in a complicated mood.
And the first day.
That bonfire had been burning outside the Linmu Studio headquarters building.
But no news was released.
The next day,
the bonfire was still burning.
On that day, in addition to the players who posted live broadcasts, some players even went to the Linmu Studio headquarters to watch the bonfire.
However, as they watched,
many players found that the flames rising from the bonfire seemed to have become much smaller...
as if the flames were gradually extinguished.
The flames on the bonfire were in a state of decline all day on the second day.
And by the evening,
the big fire that had originally soared into the sky had turned into a small fire less than half a meter.
"Is this to say... traditional games are like this flame, and are about to end?"
Tianhu.
Mou Feng looked at the picture on the post and complained with some amusement, expressing the thoughts of many players. Of
course, competitors like them were also paying attention to the actions of Linmu Studio.
After all, no matter what, whether it is mobile games or traditional games, Linmu Studio is the undisputed boss...
and during this period,
Linmu Studio's actions were indeed quite strange.
When everyone thought that mobile games were not good, they launched six mobile games at once and became a hit.
Now, when everyone thinks that mobile games are a blue ocean and they want to enter the battle, they have not taken any action, but have been promoting "Dark Souls 2" which they announced last year.
The one that stands out is a confusing one.
Tianhu is still good.
The president of Cossi Entertainment.
When he heard that Linmu Studio did not take advantage of the victory to produce mobile games, but instead started to promote last year's "Dark Souls 2".
And it was promoted outside the headquarters building.
When everyone knew about it.
He directly gave a ruthless evaluation-"idiot!"
Then he confidently told his secretary: "Let's see how we can overtake others!"
Many colleagues expressed their opinions on Linmu Studio's move.
Most of them did not understand.
But Linmu Studio could not hear them, and even if they heard them, they did not intend to pay attention.
The LED screen outside their headquarters was still on, and the bonfire was still burning.
It was just that the fire was getting smaller and smaller.
On the third day,
there was only a small flame left in the bonfire.
It looked like it would go out at any time.
And that night,
more players came to the outside of Linmu Studio's headquarters to watch...
They had different moods, some were just curious, and some wanted to witness something.
Even on the live broadcast website, there was a live broadcast of the bonfire.
Many posts also tracked the situation of the bonfire simultaneously.
Under the gaze of many players,
at eight o'clock in the evening,
the last flame on the bonfire went out...
and the LED screen was dimmed a lot.
The spectacular bonfire.
After three days.
Now it has turned into a pile of red-hot embers that are about to burn out...
Outside the Linmu Studio headquarters, all the onlookers looked up,
waiting for the bonfire to completely go out.
And on the screen, the remaining burnt firewood was indeed almost completely burned out.
The flames were getting smaller and smaller, and were almost invisible.
In the end,
only a tiny spark mixed with ashes was still lit.
Seeing this, many players sighed and turned around to leave.
But,
just as the players were about to leave,
just as the bonfire was about to go out completely,
suddenly,
there were light footsteps.
Then,
a woman in a black robe, with silver hair and a silver crown-like eye mask appeared on the screen.
She slowly came to the bonfire and slowly knelt down.
Then,
she reached out her hand, held a scattered spark, and held it in her arms as if she had found a treasure, and murmured:
"The initial fire has gradually disappeared, and
I believe that darkness will fall soon."
At this point.
She paused for a moment, then slowly raised her head and looked outside the screen.
She looked at the players who had stopped at this moment.
"... However, one day, a small ball of fire will appear in the darkness.
That is the remaining fire of the kings' inheritance." As soon as
she finished speaking,
the players were confused.
A dull sound of footsteps rang out.
A knight in heavy armor appeared in front of the bonfire, looming.
He was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and inserted a spiral sword into the center of the bonfire.
Bang!
The blade fell.
The flames flew everywhere. It
briefly illuminated the surroundings.
In a glimpse.
The player seemed to see a woman in a maid outfit.
Light and darkness intertwined. The
woman in the maid outfit raised her hand, picked up a piece of firewood, and threw it far away to the bonfire that was about to go out.
The next second.
Teng!!!
The bonfire that seemed to illuminate the entire world filled the entire screen.
Fire!
The LED screen outside the Linmu Studio headquarters was full of fire!
At this moment.
Linmu Studio seemed to be burning!
"..."
The players were even more confused when they saw this scene.
Then, a huge surprise rose up!
Wait! ! !
But it was obvious that Linmu Studio would not wait.
After the flames swept all the screens.
All the LED screens suddenly dimmed together, and the pictures disappeared!
Then, after a brief darkness.
The screen suddenly lit up again.
Accompanied by the explosive disco.
The spotlights on the top floor of the building emitted colorful lights.
It was very slotted, but also extremely shocking!
And along with the colorful lights. There was
also a pixel-style maid.
She appeared in the center of the screen, with pixels visible to the naked eye, and was shaking left and right at this moment, just like a game character on an 8-bit machine expressing her happiness.
"...Fuck!!!?"
Finally.
Some of the onlookers reacted.
A very loud exclamation was uttered.
The forum, the square of the player circle software, has been updating the post outside the Linmu Studio headquarters in real time.
Countless players saw the photos updated by the host.
They were stunned.
Capital.
Yi Wenwen, who had a rapid relationship with his father because of the game "Di Renjie". He
had also been paying attention to the bonfire outside the Linmu Studio headquarters.
When he saw the last picture, he was also stunned.
But soon, he thought of something.
But before he had time to reply, he
saw more important news.
"Go and check out the Vaporwave game platform!!!"
Yi Wenwen saw this reply and immediately switched out and opened the Vaporwave game platform.
At this time, the Vaporwave game platform.
The UI of the homepage has changed completely!
The background is a burning fire.
The fonts of each entrance have also become like burnt firewood.
And the most conspicuous advertisement on the homepage.
The picture above is the bonfire that is about to go out.
Next to him, a woman in a black robe, with silver hair and a silver crown-like eye mask reached out her hand, held a drifting spark, and protected it in her arms as if she had found a treasure.
Yi Wenwen clicked on it immediately.
The page jumped.
Then on the details page, he looked up most prominently, and a sentence reflected in his eyes - [Even embers can bring light to this world.]
And below.
There is also a promotional video.
Yi Wenwen clicked on it.
The video began to play.
It started with the scene that had just been played outside the Linmu Studio headquarters.
The bonfire was about to go out.
The fire keeper appeared.
Then the spiral sword fell.
A woman in a maid outfit threw firewood.
The flames shot up into the sky in an instant!
But this time.
The picture did not disappear directly like outside the Linmu Studio headquarters.
This time, from the rising flames.
A voice came.
"The king who was killed because of the fire's fading, the king who appeared because of the fire's fading."
"Ah!"
"Eye in the sky, meaning the eye in the sky."
"The whole world will be infected!"
"You! You are courting death!"
Finally.
When that roaring line reached his ears, Yi Wenwen couldn't help but shudder suddenly, and his body was covered with goose bumps!
At this point, the trailer ended.
It was very short, and there was nothing after it.
It was as if it was just to let the players listen to the lines...
But Yi Wenwen didn't believe that Linmu Studio just wanted players to listen to the lines.
He scrolled down and found a website entrance.
Clicked it immediately.
The webpage jumped.
Then...
thump thump...
the monotonous 8-bit music with a strong sense of the times sounded...
At the same time, a simple web game appeared on the screen.
[Easter Egg Adventure! ]
Seeing this familiar picture.
Yi Wenwen was stunned again.
He was stunned for a long time before he started the game with excitement and slight trembling.
Ding Ding~
Still playing the nostalgic music, he got the control of the pixel man.
The game also started in a pixel castle.
But this castle is bigger than last year.
The game started, just like last year. First, he needed to talk to an NPC with a maid-like outline.
He came to the maid and pressed the interaction button.
Beep beep.
Accompanied by sound effects.
Above the maid's head.
Dialogues began to pop up...
"Hi, the world outside seems to have changed a lot recently... But it hasn't changed here! There are still a lot of interesting things hidden."
"A lot of interesting things you are familiar with."
"If you can find them, something very interesting will happen!"
The maid said, shaking left and right on the screen, seeming very happy.
Although, she is just a pixel character.
"... Blasting!"
Yi Wenwen was silent for a long time after seeing this dialogue, and then couldn't help cursing.
He felt like a brick had entered his eyes...
At this moment.
To some extent, the fans of Linmu Studio have also completed their transformation.
Even if traditional games are no longer popular, they will gradually go out like a bonfire and finally become embers...
Linmu Studio will still be the spiritual pillar of the players!
