Chapter 661 Pokémon GO Left 4 Dead
The popularity of "Climb to the Top" is getting higher and higher.
The impact of "Day of Reincarnation" has not been eliminated for a while, and "Climb to the Top" came out.
This has a great impact on the entire game market.
The investment in mobile games, if it is just a pure imitation, is completely incomparable to traditional games.
The difficulty of making mobile games is lower than that of any type of traditional games.
If it is just an imitation.
But on the other hand, the speed of making money is close to traditional games, or far exceeds traditional games.
Maybe Linmu Studio's traditional games are different.
Because their traditional games also make money, whether it is online games or stand-alone games, they are sold out immediately.
The most profitable mobile games and online games are almost all under their banner.
For them.
No matter what game they make, it is profitable, so it is the same to do anything.
But.
For their peers, this is different.
The investment in traditional games is too large, and there is also the existence of Linmu Studio in front of them.
Most game types cannot bypass the Linmu Studio games at the beginning.
In this case.
If the game is not innovative or fun enough, it will really die.
Although there are such signs in mobile games now, and latecomers also have to face Linmu Studio's mobile games, this is an incremental market after all, and it has just started.
For example, "Top"... This game has not been launched on the mobile phones of Jiaming Alliance.
Yes.
Many colleagues of Linmu Studio found that the imitation card-drawing mobile games did not get any good results with "Day of Reincarnation" and "Under the Dark Night" in front and "Top" in the back.
They took the old path again.
Turned their attention to Jiaming Alliance.
Want to make a MOBA mobile game for this platform...
Of course.
Not all colleagues think so.
Most of the clear-headed game companies actually know that after the release of Future S2, the next future must be Future mobile phones.
Although purely imitation card-drawing mobile games will not get any good results on Future series mobile phones.
After all, in this world, high-quality mobile games are launched too quickly... Linmu Studio came out with the most mature card-drawing mobile game, and then came Tianhu, which was benchmarked against Linmu Studio. This directly shortened the time of chaos.
Most of the imitations have not had time to be publicly tested, and "Climbing to the Top" has come out again... It can be said that there are wolves in front and tigers behind.
But in the final analysis, the market for card-drawing mobile games is far from saturated, and there are still many audiences.
As long as you make something new and do it well enough, there will definitely be players to play.
But MOBA mobile games are different. It's not that you can't imitate, but it's too difficult.
"Climbing to the Top" had nearly 70 heroes of different forms and various mechanisms when it was released.
It can be said that this is a manifestation of Linmu Studio's heritage.
It is much more difficult to make a benchmark MOBA mobile game than to make a benchmark card-drawing mobile game.
If you use the mood of Jiaming Alliance's mobile phone users who want to play MOBA mobile games to launch a clumsy imitation, of course, you can, and it is estimated that you can make money.
But.
In the end, after a circle, you will go back to where you started.
Poor imitations cannot retain users. Once the regular army is gone, such as Linmu Studio, the poor imitations will be defeated in an instant...
and when the market stabilizes, these poor imitations will be out of the game immediately.
Just like the traditional game market, the emergence of Linmu Studio directly caused most of the shoddy games to disappear, and even forced Tianhu to change in order to maintain its market share.
For a wave of quick money.
Facing the huge mobile game market that is rising.
Is it really worth it?
Everyone has an answer to this question.
Some people value future profits and choose to insist on making innovative card-drawing mobile games, pursuing a long-term stability, even in the face of the profits that Linmu Studio's mobile games can get, and want players to remember their company and seek a larger market in the future.
Some people value short-term profits and want to make this wave of quick money. After all, making high-quality mobile games requires energy and manpower, and it may not be successful after making them, so it is better to make this wave of quick money.
I can only say.
They all make sense.
But no matter which category Linmu Studio's peers belong to.
Which category do companies in the entire domestic game market belong to.
Their operations are all the same.
Whether they are making high-quality products or shoddy imitations... they are all mobile games.
During this period, the heads of countless game companies have said more than once, publicly or privately, that they will focus on mobile games in the future.
Even for game companies that have not made public statements, the change in internal wind direction is very obvious, and the staff can easily detect it.
In comparison,
the news about traditional games can be said to be pitifully small.
It's all mobile games.
In that post, some players said that mobile games will increase in the future and traditional games will decrease. It can be said that it came true.
And it came true very quickly.
Because the speed at which the popularity of "Climbing to the Top" soared is really too exaggerated.
Player forum.
This is not just something that players occasionally mention, but has become a hot topic.
[Mobile games are so popular recently.]
The most representative post is probably this one.
Most of the players who responded below have also noticed the relevant changes.
"It's more than just fierce [holding his head], all the game companies have changed their minds. When "Day of Reincarnation" was launched, some people were hesitant, thinking that this type of card-drawing game has a limited audience and cannot replace traditional games. But now that "Climb to the Top" has come out... it directly proves that mobile games are not just about drawing cards, and not only players who have been exposed to games will be interested in it, but it can attract ordinary people who have never been exposed to games. Who can resist this!"
"I work in a rubbish game company, and the boss has decided to imitate "Climb to the Top" and make quick money on the Jiaming Alliance mobile platform. [Speechless]"
"Sure enough, I guessed that it would become like this when the mobile game "Climb to the Top" came out, and I was right... This is the general trend, and the next step is to usher in the real mobile game era."
"Fuck, Jiaming Alliance mobile phones feel like they are going to be in chaos again. If it's like last time, I will immediately switch to Future S2. No kidding, I thought it would be usable, but if there are imitation mobile games everywhere that cheat money, I really can't stand it."
"Brother above, please change your mind as soon as possible. Jiaming Alliance is not worth it. It is simply a trash can. Every time Linmu Studio comes up with a big move, the colleagues of Linmu Studio feel that they cannot beat them and go to Jiaming Alliance to hide..."
"Everyone is making mobile games. I don't know what Linmu Studio will become. I hope they can hold on! I still want to play more traditional games."
"It can't hold on... Although there will be no shortage of traditional games, there will definitely not be as many as before." "
[Sad]." "
..."
Everyone has witnessed the changes in the entire game market.
Among them, Jiaming Alliance is the most innocent.
They also feel that they have become a trash can and are very angry.
These game companies are here again, right?
They have always wanted to take off the hat of being incompetent and want to benchmark Future S2, and now they want to put the hat back on me?
After realizing that these game companies want to move shoddy imitation mobile games to Jiaming Alliance again.
Some members of Jiaming Alliance, such as Yu Tianbo, immediately proposed to strengthen the review standards during this period.
However.
This proposal was only met with silence.
Jiaming Alliance is too big.
The size of each member is also different.
"Climb to the Top"... is really popular, and Jiaming Alliance really can't make it.
If other game manufacturers are willing to make such a game, it seems to be a good thing to appease Jiaming Alliance users who are eager to change their phones.
At least they can barely maintain their market share.
Even if it is a crude imitation.
Jiaming Alliance's mobile phones are cheap...
Yu Tianbo of Tianyu Group noticed that his allies were silent, and immediately knew what they were thinking.
He could only sigh.
The opposite of the alliance, the problem caused by too many people was vividly displayed at this moment...
...
Of course.
All of the above has nothing to do with Linmu Studio.
Although the wind direction of the entire market has indeed changed.
But no one knows what Linmu Studio is doing better than the internal staff.
In a word,
Linmu Studio is making mobile games, and the mobile game department has even begun to consider launching new "Climb to the Top" heroes.
But on the other hand.
Linmu Studio also makes traditional games.
And... it's not as simple as one or two new games.
The change in the wind direction of the entire industry has not affected Lin Yao's strategy.
Most of the staff of Linmu Studio don't have to worry about the company falling behind in the mobile game market and becoming the lonely eliminated in the new era.
After all, the most popular mobile games now are all under Linmu Studio!
On the other hand, most of the staff who have grown with Linmu Studio all the way and joined the company because of Linmu Studio's traditional games will not feel that their favorite things have been eliminated.
The PC department and the console department have been working at full capacity during this period!
Not to mention elimination.
There are not enough people.
The internal harmony is very good.
As for the players' concerns.
Although the staff of Linmu Studio cannot leak secrets, they occasionally reply to players with private accounts, and they don't reveal anything. Just say "It's better to worry about your wallet than to worry about Linmu Studio!"
As for Lin Yao...
the established strategy is of course impossible to change.
But it's a bit exaggerated to say that the change in the wind direction of the entire industry has no impact on her.
In fact, there is still an impact.
She is ready to make the next mobile game!
It's not that she is afraid of missing the trend, but with the launch of Future S2, smartphones are about to usher in a time node of comprehensive evolution, and there is a mobile game that she thinks is time to move out.
Of course, the most important thing is that she was also very interested in this mobile game at the time, but she had never played it seriously in China.
She also wanted to try it...
and the mobile game department of Linmu Studio had basically nothing to do with the "Love Letter" project, so it was not a mess for Lin Yao to propose a new project.
"Pokemon mobile game?"
Mu Wanqing stood beside Lin Yao and asked curiously.
"Yes."
Lin Yao nodded happily, then lowered her head and sketched Pokémon, explaining: "Our console department launches Pokémon games every year. It's time to see how influential it is!"
"But won't this conflict with the Pokémon games on the console?"
Mu Wanqing continued to ask: "After all, this type of game is light enough in itself. If you can play it on your phone..."
"It's different."
Lin Yao interrupted Mu Wanqing directly and raised her head: "For this mobile game, we will play the characteristics of smartphones. Simply put, it is the camera."
"Camera? What does a mobile game have to do with a camera?" Mu Wanqing was even more confused.
"AR technology, have you heard of it?"
Lin Yao explained with a smile: "In simple terms, it is a technology that cleverly integrates virtual information with the real world. After simulating computer-generated virtual information such as text, images, three-dimensional models, music, and videos, it is applied to the real world. The two types of information complement each other, thereby achieving "enhancement" of the real world.
Although "Pokémon Go" is not a strictly AR mobile game, it is the easiest concept to understand."
There is also the concept of AR here, which is not a new thing.
Lin Yao specifically checked it, but the application scenarios are relatively few.
In fact, in Lin Yao's previous life, AR didn't have many application scenarios, at least not many application scenarios for consumer products.
"AR... How can this be made into a mobile game?"
Mu Wanqing had also heard of AR, but she didn't understand how it was related to mobile games.
"This has to do with Youmei Technology, Safe Travel, Fandian Takeout, WeChat, and our electronic map service provider Jingwei Map."
Lin Yao adjusted her sitting posture, straightened her waist, and explained: "This game will be the first mobile game that uses LBS technology and GPS positioning to combine virtual and reality... In simple terms, it is to apply virtual information to the real world through computer technology, so that the real environment and virtual objects are superimposed on the same screen in real time.
The final effect is to allow users to see virtual creatures in the real world... That is, our Pokémon."
At this point.
Lin Yao picked up the Pokémon illustration on the table and showed it to Mu Wanqing.
"When players open the game, they will experience a new and interesting way to play the game. They only need to use the camera to see the existence of the elves in the real environment and then capture them."
Lin Yao shook the Pokémon illustration in her hand, and then chuckled: "Do you understand? We want to connect the game with the real world! Let users find the real game feeling in the real world! Weaken the virtual feeling of general games... How could this affect the orthodox sequel of "Pokémon"? "
"..."
Mu Wanqing finally understood, although there were still many things she didn't understand.
However, she understood the general framework of the Pokémon mobile game that Lin Yao mentioned.
The combination of virtual and reality...
Although I have sighed many times.
But.
Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao, who was shaking the Pokémon illustration and smiling on her fair and beautiful face, and couldn't help sighing and secretly sighing.
Really... It's amazing!
Such a way of playing can be thought of... It's very interesting just to think about it!
Seeing that Mu Wanqing had been silent, Lin Yao couldn't help it.
"Why are you staring at me? Give me some thoughts."
"I think you're awesome."
"Ah?...Hmm."
"..."
...
Just when Lin Yao was introducing the next mobile game that Linmu Studio was going to make to Mu Wanqing.
Externally.
Jiaming Alliance finally did not pass Yu Tianbo's proposal to strengthen the review conditions.
They still compromised...for now.
Although the players didn't know that Lin Yao had already started planning the next mobile game.
But the change in the market trend was obvious.
In fact, it didn't matter whether they knew it or not.
Players have already started to call for Linmu Studio to hold on.
This is the only pure land in their minds, and the number of traditional games must not be reduced!
Especially after Tianhu also announced that it would continue to increase investment in mobile games.
This is really the only pure land.
Players have begun to inquire about the relevant news of the Linmu E-sports Festival at the end of the year, just to know how many traditional games Linmu Studio will announce at that time.
But.
After a few days of inquiring, the players gave up.
Because they soon found that there was no need to inquire...
Linmu Studio announced it itself.
It was not news about the e-sports festival.
But... traditional games!
At the end of October.
On the most prominent position of the homepage of the Vaporwave gaming platform, a promotional picture of a game suddenly appeared!
"Left 4 Dead"!
New game!!
A new first-party game from Linmu Studios!!!
