There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

Forest studio.

In the meeting room.

It was rare for Lin Yao to sit with Zhong Xiu and Zhu Nianqiao.

After the scale of the company expands, there are many departments involved in the meetings of most matters.

This also led to more and more middle and high-level people attending the meeting.

but.

This time the situation is a bit special.

Lin Yao just had an idea.

Although she subjectively wanted to write a longer 'love letter', this also had to take into account the workload within the company.

So this time, she didn't find so many people, but first found the heads of the two main product departments to discuss.

As for the mobile gaming sector.

They are relatively independent, and there is a big difference between mobile games and traditional games, unlike console and PC games that often have dual-platform logins.

Lin Yao didn't call her Kang Yi either.

"Fill in the blanks?"

Zhong Xiu sat across from Lin Yao, holding a Future PAD, and asked a question.

"Yes." Lin Yao nodded.

"But isn't that too much?"

Zhong Xiu put down the Future PAD and rubbed the center of his brows: "And most of the games only have the name of the game... Is it really feasible?"

"You mean workload? That's a real problem..."

Lin Yao nodded, but she was halfway through the conversation.

Zhong Xiu directly interrupted her, and then explained: "No, I mean you, the company is actually doing well internally, although it is quite hard work, but the two first-party studios have now proved their abilities, and we also Not without trying too much.

Except for "Ready Player One", there are only two projects currently being developed by the console department and the PC department, and they are already on the right track. We can always get it done. "

"But before, you missed the development schedules of the mainframe department and the PC department even during the extended period, right? Now, multiple projects in the two departments are launched simultaneously, plus the mobile department... and Youmedia."

"The staff of our two departments together take up more than half of the entire building, but you only have one person."

Zhong Xiu spread his hands, expressing his concern.

"This one."

Lin Yao showed a clear expression when she heard the words, and then smiled: "So I told Zhu Nianqiao just now that this new plan is a little different from the previous ones, and I will give the plan and basic settings as before.

However, I will not follow the specific production. Simply put, how it is made depends entirely on you. "

"……ah?"

Zhong Xiu was stunned.

This mode is not common in Linmu studio.

Although Lin Yao is lazy sometimes, she will follow up most of the projects, because no matter how detailed the text is, there are limitations. At this time, she needs to take on the responsibility of the producer.

This is also the reason why most of the game producers in Linmu Studio basically have Lin Yao's name in the column.

At the same time, it is also the reason why players feel that they can't do without her.

"That's why it's called special training?"

At this time, Zhu Nianqiao beside him interjected.

Lin Yao nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, of course, you can come to find me if you really have no choice, but I still hope that you can completely abandon me this time, and then go to make a plan with the existing planning book and basic settings." game.

Then absorb and learn as much as possible, and then start from the planning stage to conceive and make a game from scratch..."

Zhong Xiu: "..."

Zhu Nianqiao: "..."

The two looked at each other, and then looked at Lin Yao with complicated expressions.

"What are you doing? You want to say goodbye too?"

Lin Yao blinked her eyes, and then said with a smile: "Don't make that expression, a game company always needs fresh blood, my existence can indeed save a lot of trouble, but there will always be a day when I run out of inspiration.

Also, don't you guys have any games you want to make? "

"..."

Both fell silent.

Of course there are.

Even both have tried.

"So, this is still very necessary. After the above plan is completed, it will be your turn to make a lot of money."

Seeing their expressions, Lin Yao immediately knew that she had guessed correctly. She raised a white finger and pointed at the Future PAD: "You guys should take this as your last big exam."

Zhu Nianqiao muttered: "To be honest, it's still hard to imagine the scene where we make games alone without you..."

Really can't imagine.

Because even the game "Tracking" independently planned by the host department some time ago.

Lin Yao also put in a lot of effort.

rather say.

The entire game framework was proposed by Lin Yao.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Nianqiao really couldn't imagine her own 'independent' scene.

Lin Yao replied: "So this is the beginning of the rehearsal."

Zhu Nianqiao: "..."

"But even so, it should be enough, right?"

Zhong Xiu was silent for a moment, then looked down at the Future PAD in front of him again, and said, "With so many games, it's probably enough to sort out the ideas and determine the framework and all the basic settings, right? Since it's going to be released before the two existing projects, how long will it take?" ..."

"It's okay, I know most of the games, so don't worry."

"...All?" Zhong Xiu was stunned, and looked down at the tablet again.

Lin Yao corrected, "Most of them."

"..."Titanfall"?" Zhong Xiu hesitated for a moment, then pointed to the first game on the tablet.

"This is an FPS game, but it is different from the previous FPS. I want to make this game more technological, so as to bring players a more hearty gaming experience."

Lin Yao organized the wording and explained: "The plot is not complicated. The story will take place in the future. It will start with a rookie rifleman, and then describe him killing all directions, fighting against the dictatorship, fighting for space and folding weapons, and finally The story of saving the planet."

"Forehead……"

Zhong Xiu scratched his head when he heard Lin Yao's words, but stopped talking.

It doesn't seem attractive...

"The main features are the cool gun feel, the lightly decrypted map design, the novel experience combining FPS and parkour, and the weapons and enemies with a sense of technology."

"Of course, there is also the most important... mecha mechanism."

Lin Yao continued: "I plan to add a mech mechanism to this game. The protagonist will fight side by side with a mecha named Titan BT7274. Players experience the fun of bombarding huge mechs..."

"..."

Lin Yao's voice just fell.

Zhong Xiu stood up suddenly: "Stop talking, let's make this game!"

"?" Zhu Nianqiao raised his head to look at Zhong Xiu, and slowly put a question mark.

"Don't worry."

Lin Yao couldn't help laughing, but she understood him.

man.

All old-fashioned plots will become more attractive as long as they are added with huge mechs.

Whether it's Transformers, or Pacific Rim, or the last Gundam debut of Ready Player One.

Don't care about the plot.

It is always exciting when the robot comes out on the stage.

"..."

Zhong Xiu noticed that Lin Yao and Zhu Nianqiao were looking at him, so he managed to calm down and sat down again awkwardly.

He paused, then asked about the details of the game.

Lin Yao gave him a little explanation.

The more Zhong Xiu listened, the more excited he became, and he was even gearing up later.

Huge mechs fall from the sky, iron and blood intertwined battles, the battlefield baptized by guns and fire, the romance of steel...

He became excited just by hearing the description.

It wasn't until he thought that he couldn't make this game for a while, that he calmed down again.

He looked down at the tablet on the table again. In order not to let himself be overwhelmed, he took the initiative to shift the question and asked casually:

"What about "Bloodline"?"

"This game, you can understand it that way."

Lin Yao thought for a while and replied: "It's a sister chapter of the "Dark Soul" series, but compared with the "Dark Soul" series, this game will have a stronger exploratory nature."

"The stage of the story is in a classical Victorian city, which is a miraculous medical sanctuary, but also a cursed place where strange and vicious diseases spread. The raging "beastly" disease dehumanizes people and reduces them to horror beyond cognition beast."

"When night falls, a stranger who wraps himself tightly will appear, holding a sharp machete to hunt those crazy monsters on the street..."

Lin Yao told Zhong Xiu a little about the game.

Zhong Xiu finished listening: "...?"

After a long time.

He spoke again and asked:

"The pixel wind sandbox game..."My World"?"

"This game is even more special."

Lin Yao said happily, "You know about building blocks, right? Simply put, this game is to develop the idea of ​​building blocks into a game.

Open world, pixel style, and this game is a step further than the ordinary open world, without any goal restrictions, play restrictions, players can choose to be architects, survivors, adventurers, redstone technicians, PVP, or focus on For parkour, decryption, mini-games, etc..."

Zhong Xiu: "..."

Zhu Nianqiao: "..."

"Assassin's Creed?" Zhong Xiu was silent for a moment, then asked again.

Lin Yao spoke again.

Then.

Soon only Lin Yao's voice was left in the meeting room.

Occasionally she pauses.

Zhong Xiu's voice will ring out.

But often just simply spit out the name of the game.

half an hour later.

"Fuck! Don't you know everything!?"

Zhong Xiu stared at Lin Yao with wide eyes.

"Of course there are basic ideas."

Lin Yao nodded and said, "But that's all for now. It will take some time to put it on paper, and there are many things that need to be considered."

aside.

Zhu Nianqiao glanced at the tablet, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly asked: "Senior sister, I just have a question now, these games won't be in your mind long ago, right? Just considering the company's production capabilities and work Didn't the amount come up?"

"..."

When Zhong Xiu heard Zhu Nianqiao's words, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Lin Yao again, with a shocked expression on his face.

No way! ?

"...Why ask so clearly."

Lin Yao smiled, but did not answer her question directly.

Instead, he stood up, came to the front of the conference table, took out the marker pen on the whiteboard tray, and said, "Now you probably understand what game you are going to do next, so let's evaluate the feasibility.

At the same time, evaluate if it can be done, how these works will be linked with the final multimedia planning and games..."

"That's what I think."

Lin Yao picked up the marker pen and began to talk about her own thoughts: "Add some fighters to Smash Bros., and at the same time modify some scenes of the multimedia plan..."

beside.

Listening to Lin Yao's narration, Zhong Xiu was a little lost in thought.

do not know why.

Looking at Lin Yao's back, he suddenly had a premonition.

Next year, maybe it will be a year of miracles.

For the entire game circle and all gamers, it is an unsurpassable year.

Even if future generations of players think about it, they will feel an exciting year!

...

The meeting didn't last long.

Lin Yao didn't make a long speech.

Although she said a lot...

But the plan this time is not a trivial matter. Now Linmu Studio is no longer as simple as a small workshop. It is impossible for the three of them to decide everything in one meeting.

In addition, the proportion of PC games is relatively large this time, so how to cooperate between the two departments is the problem.

It will also take time for the two departments to integrate and sort out resources.

so.

Lin Yao discussed with the two of them for a while, and after confirming that the two of them generally knew what was going on, they were asked to evaluate their own internal situation.

As for Lin Yao herself, after leaving the conference room, she returned to her office.

"This is no small project."

After Lin Yao sat down, she looked at the lit computer screen and smiled slightly.

anyway.

What is going on with Zhong Xiu and Zhu Nianqiao?

She will first make the plan and basic settings of the game.

It's time to make a choice.

certainly.

It would be even better if there were no regrets.

"let's start."

Lin Yao stretched, then pulled the keyboard over, opened the document, and typed the first character.

But just coded a title.

She suddenly thought of something.

etc.

Wouldn't this be too... grand?

Lin Yao showed a thoughtful expression.

But soon, she smiled and shook her head.

never mind.

who cares.

Being grand isn't a bad thing either.

Just let the players open their eyes and have fun...

...

at the same time.

external.

The topics related to the live broadcast of Linmu Studio last night are still fermenting.

Most of the peers originally just followed the live broadcast with the mentality of watching a movie.

But I didn't expect...

Linmu Studio abruptly walked out of a new path that they had never imagined...

Not only did it resolve the impact of Lin Yao's failure to show up at the carnival in one fell swoop, but it also directly lifted the affected new game to the top of the sales list.

The three games are still the first in turn!

Moreover, they have also developed a very new live broadcast...

There are really many tricks, wild ways, and dimensionality reduction strikes...

And most of the peers are really greatly influenced by Linmu Studio.

After the live broadcast.

Like a stress response.

Many colleagues started to assess whether there is any possibility of learning from last night's live broadcast...

Lin Yao doesn't have a second one, they can't create such a god, and their boss doesn't have the same influence as her.

But the boss and the virtual anchor live together, it seems to be a trick.

Or more precisely.

People like Lin Yao can't make it artificially, but make a cute two-dimensional paper figure, and then bring the goods to play.

It seems to be messed up.

Player acceptance also looks high...

On this day, many colleagues began to inquire about related technologies.

The related technology was also very popular because of the live broadcast of Linmu Studio.

but.

After the related technology was fired for a period of time, the fever gradually subsided.

On the one hand, it is because the technology and ecology of virtual live broadcast here are far less mature than Lin Yao's previous life.

General companies want real people to rely on facial capture and motion capture technology to map real people's expressions and movements onto avatars simultaneously.

Really troublesome.

The investment is not small.

The reason why Linmu Studio can do it is because the best and most mature motion capture studio in China is Linmu Studio's own home...

On the other hand, it's because - Linmu Studio's "Death by Daylight" was released.
