MTL - There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning-Chapter 625 Double pride
Chapter 625 Double pride
Once the first month is over.
Even if the year is over.
Whether you are a player or not, whether you are a worker or a student, life is mostly back on track.
Limwood Studio is the same.
In fact, considering the speed at which major manufacturers in the industry are getting back on track, Linmu Studio is definitely the bottom one.
Because after the toss of "Day of Reincarnation" and WeChat red envelopes, the staff of these big factories have more or less worked overtime.
In this regard, they can be said to have come to the front of Linmu Studio...
but.
Although Linmu Studio has the earliest vacation and the slowest resumption of work, when it comes to the state of the staff, Linmu Studio is definitely the first.
The main reason is that the rest time is long enough.
Besides, when the core staff just came to Linmu Studio, Lin Yao threw out a very romantic project no matter how you look at it...
This directly made most of the staff forget about the holiday syndrome, and immediately threw themselves into work like a chicken blood.
After all, the staff of Linmu Studio are generally young and energetic. Besides games, they have more or less other hobbies.
For example, "Dark Engrave", a Japanese head manga, has been serialized for seven years...it will be eight years soon.
When this manga started to be serialized, Linmu Studio didn't even have a movie...
So it is extremely normal for some staff members to read the manga, love the work and the characters in it.
And the plan and list that Lin Yao threw out almost wiped out all the popular elements of more than half a century.
Every staff member can find their favorite works on it.
In this situation.
Is there anything more satisfying than turning your favorite works or IP into works?
there is none left.
This is not the same as beating chicken blood!
So although Linmu Studio resumed work late, but on the second day of work, the staff entered the state...
Including Lin Yao.
And wait for the relevant copyright to be negotiated.
The mobile game department represented by Kang Yi, and all the staff cheered even more.
…physical cheers.
The mobile game department is the youngest department of Linmu Studio.
The staff in this department are also the youngest compared to the other two product departments.
Many staff members have even watched animation or comics for four or five years.
They want to make this joint activity even more than Lin Yao.
The copyright discussion means that the linkage activities are basically a certainty...
They can add their favorite characters into the games they make!
Please.
This is really cool!
Wait for Lin Yao to hand over the proposal written by herself, the original drafts of various art materials and the original drafts of the designed characters to Kang Yi and distribute them.
Mobile game department, another huge cheer erupted!
Because this is cooler than a comic! !
And the other side.
Lin Yao left the mobile game department and just went out when she heard cheers from behind, which was a little funny.
She couldn't help sighing.
It's nice to be young...
Next.
Holding the last folder, she didn't rush back to the floor where her office was located, but went to the independent video department and found Qi Jianhua.
"What was the yelling upstairs just now? It has been thumping, and it feels like the ceiling is about to collapse."
Fourteenth floor.
Seeing Lin Yao, Qi Jianhua seemed to realize something, pointed directly to the upstairs where the sound was still making thumping noises, and asked with a smile.
"The copyright of several comics has been negotiated, and they are very happy." Lin Yao explained, "It will probably stop after a while."
"Sure enough."
Qi Jianhua showed an expression of "as expected", and then said with emotion: "It's nice to be young..."
Lin Yao laughed and said: "Don't pretend to be deep, how old are you? 29, right? It's good to be young..."
"Fuck, what if I'm 29? At least I'm more qualified than you guys to say this!"
Qi Jianhua glared: "Look at my face, can you find traces of time? Is it full of vicissitudes? Look in the mirror and look at yourself, just like a seventeen-year-old high school student!
When you walk out of the high school gate, the security guard might think you skipped class! Why can't I say it's nice to be young? "
Lin Yao has a black line: "I can see it, so should I let you retire early?"
Qi Jianhua changed his face in an instant: "Just now the kid was ignorant, just kidding..."
"Okay, stop playing tricks."
Lin Yao shook her head helplessly, and started to get down to business: "This time the "Day of Reincarnation" linkage event requires your department to participate, and you need to make a promotional video for this event."
"Huh? Promotional video? You haven't done any New Year activities, have you?"
Qi Jianhua straightened his expression, and then asked in surprise: "We just made a promotional video during the Spring Festival. This time, we not only bought the copyright, but also made such a big fanfare?"
"It's because I bought the copyright that I have to make a big fanfare... It's all money, it can't be thunder and rain."
Lin Yao explained: "In addition, Xi Qianyu and the staff in the business department worked so hard, and when the product department handed in a messy report card, it would hurt their enthusiasm.
Moreover, even if the above factors are put aside, there are many staff and players who like comics. For them, we must work hard for the first linkage plan of Linmu Studio. "
"I see."
Qi Jianhua heard the words, thought for a moment, and then showed a serious look: "I will take it seriously, then the comics linked this time..."
"I have prepared the reference storyboard, the design of each character, and the original painting."
Lin Yao interrupted him, and then handed him the folder in her hand.
Qi Jianhua came to his senses, scratched his head, smiled sheepishly, then took the folder that Lin Yao handed over, opened it and read it.
He doesn't look at the character design and original painting.
Because there is nothing to worry about.
He watched the storyboard carefully... Then, he watched it again.
After watching the storyboard three times.
He raised his head, looked at Lin Yao, and asked, "Let the characters appear directly on the stage... Is this kind of development okay?"
"It doesn't matter, because this kind of linkage really can't be logically self-consistent, you can't let the cartoonist change the plot?"
Lin Yao knew what he was asking, and explained: "So it's fine if you can justify yourself. The point is not the plot at all, but... let the players 'wow' come out!"
"'Wow' came out, so vivid..."
Qi Jianhua was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but nodded, "I understand."
"Also, time is tight, try not to delay until the carnival."
Lin Yao thought for a while, hesitated for a moment, and added: "The difference between traditional games and mobile games is still too great... The boundaries of player groups may be blurred, but most players' expectations for Carnival will definitely not be mobile games, so The plans related to mobile games should be announced before then.”
"Do not worry."
Of course Qi Jianhua knew what Lin Yao was worried about. He raised the folder in his hand, shook it slightly, and said confidently: "At least the video department will be finished before the carnival."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Lin Yao nodded.
Next.
She stayed on the 14th floor for a while, and explained some complicated sub-shots to Qi Jianhua.
More than half an hour later.
Lin Yao finally returned to her office.
Close the door.
As soon as Lin Yao sat down, she glanced at the mirror at the side out of the corner of her eye.
Look in the mirror.
She suddenly thought of Qi Jianhua's words, hesitated for a moment, picked up the mirror left by Mu Wanqing next to her, put it in front of her, then untied her ponytail, let her soft long hair drape over her shoulders, raised her snow-white chin, and looked at it carefully Fan himself.
But no matter how you look at it.
She failed to find evidence to convince herself...
Lin Yao gave up, she took the mirror away, crossed her slender and fair fingers, placed them on the soft-lined snow-white chin, and rested her cheeks in thought.
After a while.
She suddenly came back to her senses, put down her hand, and broke her defense:
"Damn! After so many years, I haven't matured at all!?"
…
at the same time.
Just when Lin Yao broke the defense.
Tianhu's new mobile game project is also on the right track.
After being persuaded by Mou Feng, Li Guangsheng tried his best to push through all the opinions, and finally succeeded in advancing Mou Feng's crazy proposal.
Tianhu will invest 500 million yuan to make mobile games, and make mobile games that are comparable to "Day of Reincarnation".
Hear the exaggerated numbers.
Everyone in Tianhu thinks that Mou Feng is crazy.
But Mou Feng was not affected at all, and continued to advance the project on his own.
Maybe it was influenced by him.
After a period of adaptation.
Tianhu internally mobilized a project team composed of elites, and finally kept up with his rhythm.
Started to get on the right track.
Mou Feng has a clear idea of the form of the game, coupled with a sufficient budget, the entire project is advancing extremely fast.
At the same time, Mou Feng is also very self-aware, he knows that he does not have the ability of Lin Yao.
So his solution is simple.
is spending money.
He can’t draw a beautiful girl like "Day of Reincarnation", but after studying "Day of Reincarnation" for so long and paying so much money, he knows exactly what kind of beautiful girl attracts players.
Taught by Lin Yao.
If he can’t draw it, then describe it in words.
Then contact the top painting studios in China and Japan, spend money for them to paint, and then choose the target that best meets your requirements among the works of many top painting studios.
It's like raising Gu.
certainly.
This also allows the project team to spend money like water.
Although Li Guangsheng had long been mentally prepared for this, he still felt terrified.
Few days.
He found Mou Feng.
"Are you sure you won't increase the budget?" He confirmed with concern.
"OK, don't worry."
While checking the original painting, Mou Feng replied: "I remember I made a guarantee with you at the beginning."
"But..." Li Guangsheng still hesitated, wanting to say something.
This tm mobile game project has just started...
Take it easy...
"and."
We have been together for so long.
Mou Feng was very aware of his small personality, and before Li Guangsheng could say anything later, he raised his head: "Don't think that I raise Gu just to choose a suitable partner, there is another reason, our game The announcement has already begun."
"Huh?" Li Guangsheng was taken aback.
"In marketing, the positioning model of the second child, do you know what it is?"
Mou Feng asked back.
Then, without waiting for Li Guangsheng to answer, he said to himself: "That is - as long as there is one place that can compete with the boss who is ranked first, then it can create a kind of competition for everyone that stands in the same position as the boss." illusion!
This is applicable in various fields, such as daily consumer goods, such as technology products, such as celebrities, and of course...including games. "
"As for card-drawing games, which strength do you think is the easiest to compete with "Day of Reincarnation"?"
Li Guangsheng: "..."
"Yes, it's a beautiful girl! It's the original painting! Other things like gameplay, as long as the game is not released, it will be a castle in the air, and players will never compare it with "Day of Reincarnation."
Mou Feng asked himself and answered: "I found so many studios, not because I thought there was too much money, I did it on purpose! The popularity of WeChat red envelopes and "Day of Reincarnation" taught me one thing, that is, not Wait until everything is ready before announcing it.”
"The cost of publicity and distribution in this way is too high, and the effect is not necessarily good. I want to figure out how to announce the game when I am making the game! This way, in the final stage, I can get twice the result with half the effort."
"Yes, what I'm doing now is also for publicity! After a while, I will ask the marketing department to release news, leak some information, and even original paintings, so that all players can see the price we spent, Prepare original paintings and characters, and then surprise them severely.
I want the players to exclaim that "Tianhu's new mobile game is comparable to "Day of Reincarnation""! As long as we can achieve this effect, then we will be successful, and our game will become a product that can compete with the industry leader before it is released! We will be a well-deserved second!
No matter how many colleagues want to imitate "The Day of Reincarnation", we will be the second! Because players feel that our mobile game can compete with the existence of "Day of Reincarnation". "
"This will also bring us a huge amount of attention, and when the game is about to be launched, if we make a big announcement, it will directly get twice the result with half the effort!"
"In addition, as I said, what I want to do is to completely match the mobile game "Day of Reincarnation". Players will definitely get the same expectations and pleasure as playing "Day of Reincarnation" when they play the game."
"I'm 100% sure of this."
"As long as our mobile game can meet the expectations of "Day of Reincarnation"."
When Mou Feng said this, he paused, and then said: "Then our mobile game is not the second child, but...'Double Pride'."
"..."
Li Guangsheng opened his mouth, feeling suddenly enlightened, but also a little shocked.
He suddenly felt that the hair in front of him was a little strange.
Damn it! ?
"This is all taught by Lin Yao."
Mou Feng noticed Li Guangsheng's expression, and immediately guessed his thoughts. He showed a bitter expression, and said: "Yes, this is the marketing strategy of Linmu Studio, but they don't need to be the second child."
Li Guangsheng: "..."
"Don't make a face like you've eaten poop."
Mou Feng shook Yao's head and said helplessly: "Facing such a hexagonal opponent with no shortcomings, the only way is to join, and I was also forced...
So Guangsheng, trust me, the project budget will not be exceeded, I will find out about them, and then make a mobile game that is completely in line with "Day of Reincarnation"! Wait! "
"…it is good."
Li Guangsheng breathed a sigh of relief and didn't say anything more.
He was persuaded again.
Facing the pressing Linmu Studio, Mou Feng has grown again.
Leave Lin Yao aside.
He at this moment.
To some extent, he can even be said to be the most advanced and best game producer in China.
Because next.
The development of things was basically exactly the same as he thought...
…
Time came to March.
The new year event of "Day of Reincarnation" is offline.
Although the WeChat red envelope has become a permanent game, the trend has gradually dissipated.
After all, after the Spring Festival, users have to run around for their lives, and it is really difficult to have the same mood as the Spring Festival.
And this time.
Linmu Studio has not announced any games or new products.
On the contrary, the third-party payment institutions, large and small, all said that after working overtime during the Spring Festival, they would launch the red envelope game to follow the trend.
But this thing, the first person to eat crabs, has the right time, place and people, plus the WeChat red envelope game is permanent again.
It is really difficult for users who have sent a red envelope for the Spring Festival to be interested in the red envelope gameplay of other third-party payment institutions.
So other third-party payment institutions launched the red envelope game, which did not arouse much splash.
As for the players.
is even less likely to be interested.
In the ‘Game Circle’ of Linmu Studio, players from all divisions are discussing the games they play. During this time, the posts on how to play red envelopes have basically disappeared.
As for what the players are discussing...because the 'Game Circle' is a product of Linmu Studio.
So 95% of the posts posted by the players are related to the games of Linmu Studio.
As for why not 100%.
mainly.
Sometimes accidents happen...
Such as this day.
In the "Day of Reincarnation" subsection, there quietly appeared such a post that basically has nothing to do with Linmu Studio—
【Arrogance! Tianhu will spend 500 million to develop a card game! And cooperate with several top painting studios in the industry! Completely benchmark "Day of Reincarnation"! 】
A start.
Such a post with a title that reveals 'shock' did not attract much attention.
There is a reply.
But the tone of most players is not very good. After all, this is the game circle of "Samsara Day", so you are making such a fuss.
Disgusting people?
"Although this post is related to "Day of Reincarnation", isn't your title too outrageous? Are you a sailor?"
"I'm going to die laughing at this title, it's so arrogant... What is Linmu Studio doing for Tianhu not to follow suit? Is this worth posting?"
"It's completely on par with "Day of Reincarnation", how dare you say it!"
"Return 500 million, and still compete with "The Day of Reincarnation"... Tianhu lost his mind and went crazy? You want to lose all your underwear, right?"
"The owner! Delete the post quickly, what are you doing?"
"..."
Post below.
Most of the players who responded were very upset.
Probably seeing the dissatisfaction of the players, this post was quickly deleted.
When the player saw the post disappear, he forgot about it, so what should he do.
but.
It's not over yet...
Soon some players discovered that the post in the "Day of Reincarnation" circle was not original by the poster.
At first, this was revealed by a game media.
Most players saw this news, just like the players of "Day of Reincarnation", they didn't really believe it.
But game-related media people seem to trust the source of this information very much.
The next few days.
Several game media reported the news.
And the disclosed information is becoming more and more detailed day by day.
At the beginning, it was just ‘Arrogance, throw 500 million! ’ There is nothing dry in such a shocking body.
But as time went by, the media revealed which outsourcing studios and top painters Tianhu had contacted...
Not only that, in the article, the author also introduced the past works of these outsourcers in detail.
And also guessed which outsourcing studio Tianhu is currently cooperating with...
Players see the exaggerated price of manuscripts and see those exquisite past works.
Have to admit.
Maybe there is such a thing...
But from the beginning to the end, Tianhu didn't show up.
Neither admitted nor denied.
The visual sense is very strong...
In the'game circle', the exclusive circle of "Samsara Day", related posts about Tianhu appeared again.
It was not deleted this time.
The players had a serious discussion instead.
However, the final conclusion is still dubious.
The turning point happened in late March.
After nearly half a month of bedding.
finally.
Conclusive evidence was thrown out.
【Tianhu's new mobile game manuscript leaked! Not at all inferior to the young lady in "Day of Reincarnation"! There are also tons of drafts and map settings! 】
Such a sentence appeared on the official social account of the largest game self-media in China.
But this time, it was not as simple as a shock body.
is really expected!
Below this sentence, the nine grids of pictures are all filled.
It is full of 'leaked' manuscripts.
Half finished product, half draft.
Five character pictures and four landscape pictures.
The four landscape pictures are all conceptual pictures, which seem to be the main stage where the game story takes place.
Like "Day of Reincarnation", Tianhu mobile game also sets the stage as a modern city, but compared to "Day of Reincarnation", their game style is a bit darker.
If we say that the stage of "The Day of Reincarnation" is a sunny city that looks normal, but in fact everything is wrong, and the residents are all madly criticizing beautiful girls.
Tianhu's mobile game has a style that feels abnormal at first glance.
The style is cold.
It's chilling.
Although this style is not everyone's favorite, everyone's appreciation ability is also different.
But as long as you are a person with common sense, you will not think that such a complicated concept map is easy to draw.
As for the five character drafts, four are line drafts and haven't been colored yet.
But it is equally exquisite, and even if you look at the line draft, you can see that these characters have different shapes.
There are Lolita and Yujie.
There are killers in formal attire, as if attending a banquet. There are also short-haired girls who are full of wildness in navel dresses.
The only finished product that has been colored and painted with a background, the main body is a JK wearing a sailor suit and carrying a backpack.
She has smooth black hair and is standing in the middle of the corridor of a dilapidated apartment building.
Golden sunlight shone on her side face.
If you only look at the upper body, you are completely an ordinary young girl.
But if you look at it as a whole, you don't think so.
Because she was holding a knife in her right hand, and the tip of the blade was a shocking red.
And her white thighs were also stained with blood, and there were traces of knife cutting on the edge of the skirt.
The degree of completion of this manuscript is really high, and the style is also extremely distinctive.
Very eye-catching.
Don't say it.
Such an exquisite vertical painting is really no worse than the character vertical painting of "The Day of Reincarnation".
So these few pictures were transferred to the "Day of Reincarnation" section in less than half an hour...
【Fuck! Tianhu's mobile game map leaked, it's pretty good! 】
As soon as such a post is issued.
Replies surged immediately!
Because most players who can play "Day of Reincarnation" will not resist this type of painting.
"Fuck!? Is it true?"
"Is this Tianhu's game? It's really good-looking! The line draft feels pretty good-looking, let alone the first finished product."
"Since when did Tianhu understand so well? JK girl and Taidao, the eyes are in love, and they look like they are going to kill me [excited]."
"What's the name of this game? What's it coming out? I'm a little interested."
"If you are willing to spend money, you can really do whatever you want. I kind of believe that Tianhu has invested 500 million in mobile games."
"It looks good! It really feels like "Day of Reincarnation"."
"..."
Before the Tianhu mobile game was released, players had already subconsciously compared it with "Day of Reincarnation".
The reviews are generally very good.
Tianhu spent half a month laying the groundwork.
At the moment.
Finally blooming and bearing fruit...
And the next day.
In the beginning, the game media that posted "Arrogance, Tianhu throws 500 million" has issued a new report——
【Are the players ready! ? Tianhu spends 500 million to make a new mobile game! A 3A-level mobile game against "Day of Reincarnation"! "Day of Reincarnation" under Linmu Studio will usher in the strongest challenger! 】
(end of this chapter)
