There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

After this year's e-sports festival ended, Lin Yao paid special attention to the situation of e-sports players in each event.

Because there are few projects in the early stage of the forest e-sports festival, she also does it herself, so she also knows most of the well-known e-sports players in the early stage.

But this year's e-sports festival.

Tell the truth.

Familiar faces are not many.

The two teams that impressed her the most.

No.1 and FEIREN in "Breakout", although the core personnel are still there, but there are indeed a lot of people missing. Lin Yao paid special attention to their whereabouts.

It's not that they have transferred, but they retired to sell meat muffins... to live broadcast.

For FPS-related competitive events, age has the greatest impact.

As for the retired members, the reason why they retire... basically has a lot to do with their age.

Of course, it also has something to do with the live broadcast battle some time ago.

At the beginning, all major live streaming sites were burning money to find anchors and discover new anchors at the same time.

In theory, as an anchor, who else is more suitable than an e-sports player who can appear in the main event of the Forest E-sports Festival and has a huge popularity among players?

absolutely not.

On the one hand, I feel powerless with age.

On the one hand, it is the temptation of high salaries of live streaming sites.

Many e-sports players chose to retire during that time.

Among them are the members of the two famous teams NO.1 and FEIREN of the "Breakout" project. The core members of the two teams, Lu Tai and Chen Xi, have not retired, but each of the two teams has two veteran players who have chosen to retire.

And it is for this reason that they are going through a painful period this year.

The grades are not good.

When Lin Yao opened the live broadcast website, she saw those familiar faces not sitting in the soundproof room of the arena, but sitting in her bedroom playing games.

It's a little melancholy...

These e-sports players can be regarded as the earliest e-sports players in China, and there is no shortage of talent and hard work. A young rookie emerges.

Maybe it's just a few milliseconds of reaction time, but in the increasingly mature FPS e-sports project, it's enough to decide life or death.

That's why they retired.

But retirement is retiring, the skills they have honed in the professional arena for many years are still there.

So it's no problem to play rank and kill easily.

And every time after a big kill, there will always be players asking through real-time comments-'You are still so good, why should you retire? ’ ‘If you don’t want to play professionally and make a name for yourself, become an anchor here? '

And every time they saw such real-time comments, these players who were considered top pros before retiring would be silent.

Those with a bad mentality will even deform in the next operation.

Lin Yao could barely understand them.

After all, this is not her previous life. The period of chaos in the e-sports industry is extremely short, at least the e-sports projects of the games under Linmu Studio are not chaotic.

A famous professional player can not only enjoy cheers on the stage, but also has a lot of commercial value. The salary alone is a lot of money.

Not to mention, the share that Linmu Studio brings to the prop skins made by the champion every year, as well as the prize money of the competition.

If possible, they all want to continue to enjoy the cheers on the stage, instead of being anchors in the live broadcast room.

But the reality is so helpless.

Not retired, but no one wants it.

This sentence is very interesting to ridicule.

But for e-sports players who really want to continue to compete in the arena, it can be regarded as murder.

"Miss Mu, sometimes I feel that time passes very slowly, and I feel that it is not long since we founded Linmu Studio. After all, Linmu Studio's rise is really too fast."

Lin Yao moved the mouse, brushed a gift for the e-sports player on the screen who should be named Qi Xiao if she remembered correctly, and said softly at the same time: "And whenever I look at these people at this time, I have another It really feels like a long time has passed..."

"Well, it's been a long time indeed."

Mu Wanqing's memory is not as good as Lin Yao's, and she can memorize the names of so many e-sports players.

However, some players in the "Breakout" project retired, and they were still top professional players whose names Lin Yao could remember.

Not one or two.

This incident itself represents the passage of time... You must know that "Breakout" is not in decline, it is still the most important event of the e-sports festival, and the number of annual championships will only increase.

"...a little melancholy."

After Lin Yao delivered the gift, she put her hand on her cheek and said softly.

"..."

Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao's fair side face and smiled gently.

She really doesn't look like a boss sometimes.

Like this moment.

But she doesn't dislike Lin Yao's emotional side.

She felt that it was because of her emotional side that Lin Yao was not far away from her.

Rather than becoming a mythical person as the scale of Linmu Studio grows larger and larger, it becomes a creative tool person hanging above Linmu Studio.

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Yao noticed the smile on Mu Wanqing's face.

"It's nothing... Although time has passed quickly, you haven't changed at all."

Mu Wanqing shook her head, then smiled lightly and said, "It really hasn't changed at all, it hasn't matured much at all."

"Go away, which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted!"

Lin Yao became angry when she thought of this, and gave her an angry look.

Mu Wanqing couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Yao stopped talking to her, but looked at the screen again.

On the screen, after the anchor named Qi Xiao thanked the gift briefly, and was about to continue ranking, a person broke into the black channel he was in. It was the current captain of FEIREN, his former teammate and university student. Friends, Lu Tai.

As soon as Lu Tai entered the black channel, he immediately said: "Qi Xiao! Open a box for me, let me be happy with your name, and see if there is any miraculous effect."

"roll!"

Hear a familiar voice.

Qi Xiao, who was a little silent just now because of the real-time comments, immediately came to life, cursing.

In the real-time comment area, players also began to post real-time comments such as "FEREN captain and vice-captain fit together", "blatant superstition", "playing rank together".

Lin Yao smiled, and instead of continuing to watch, she turned off the live broadcast website.

She didn't really like watching the live broadcast very much, but she just happened to see the news of Qi Xiao's retirement.

"Miss Mu, there is no problem with the publicity plan for "Titanfall", so let's implement it accordingly."

Lin Yao picked up the information on the desktop and handed it back to Mu Wanqing.

"Okay." Mu Wanqing took the file and responded.

"in addition."

Lin Yao glanced at the screen out of the corner of her eye, thought of something, and smiled softly: "Give these retired professional players of "Breakout" a copy of the game, and it will be regarded as a game announcement to some extent, and it is also ours. Forest Studio still remembers the proof of these professional players.

Although the forestry e-sports festival is large now, we should not forget how the e-sports festival came about.

The "Breakout" project was a pioneer, and the e-sports environment at that time was not good. We have credit for it, but this group of e-sports players who did not hesitate to come to participate in the competition was also a member of the e-sports festival.

I don't want to get involved in the Linmu e-sports branch, and I don't need to mention the Hall of Fame. We will do what we can, such as sending an email to send money for games and the like.

I guess these e-sports players who like FPS will also like this game. "

"... mail?"

Mu Wanqing smiled lightly when she heard the words, and then said, "Okay."

...

New year, January.

The launch of Assassin's Creed was a big deal.

But such a big event happened in the game circle.

Because other game peers have avoided the edge...

Therefore, "Assassin's Creed" was able to kill without opponents at all...

However, no matter how good a game is, there will always be a day when it will be fully played, and although "Assassin's Creed" is almost impeccable as an entry-level stand-alone game, the popularity was once higher than "Left 4 Dead".

But this type of game also has a fatal flaw, that is - online experience.

No matter how you do it, the multiplayer part of this type of game is not comparable to Left 4 Dead.

And without the multiplayer mode, or if the multiplayer mode is not fun, it means that the players' desire to continue playing is reduced, which means that the popularity of the game will not last long.

This is also the reason why Lin Yao had to add a multiplayer mode to many games in her previous life. She didn't even do stand-alone plots, and directly made buyout games into multiplayer games.

This can be regarded as the sequelae brought about by the blurred boundaries of single-player online games.

At the same time, this is also the basis for Mou Feng to judge that Tianhu needs to announce the news fifteen days after the release of "Assassin's Creed".

Because he also knows that this kind of game is not easy to do multiplayer mode, this is the perfect time for the popularity of "Assassin's Creed" to gradually dissipate, and "Modern Scrolls" has not yet been announced.

so.

January 15th.

They were on time.

It's the same as their previous "Under the Dark Night".

At the beginning, Tianhu adopted the plan of self-media publicity and promotion...

【Shock! Tianhu new mobile game! The investment has doubled again, up to 500 million! It is the highest in the history of mobile games. 】

[The sword points to Lin Mu's studio! It is rumored that Tianhu has urgently transferred some production staff of "Under the Dark Night" to its MOBA mobile game project team, aiming at Linmu Studio's "Climb to the Top"! 】

[The concept map of the MOBA project under Tianhu has flowed out...]

Tianhu's routine is not new.

It can even be said to be old.

But I can't hold back the shock body is really easy to use...

This is the highest, the sword finger, and the outflow.

No matter how disdainful the player is, they will be a little interested when they see the title, so click on it and take a look.

And as long as they click on it.

That day the fox is considered a success.

After all, they have accepted the position of the second child, and their goal now is not to compete with Linmu Studio, but to surpass other competitors except Linmu Studio, to be deeply bound with Linmu Studio, and to be the second .

In this situation.

Players can remember their mobile game without much ill feeling, it is considered a great success.

In fact.

Although the players could see that Tianhu wanted to touch porcelain.

But when I thought about it, Linmu Studio produced games like taking medicine during this period of time...

At the same time, I thought about the quality of the games of Linmu Studio during this period, and the situation of domestic game companies...

Especially the situation of the second child of Tianhu, which is second only to Linmu Studio in terms of fame...

They really felt that this unlucky guy was pitiful... to meet such an opponent as Linmu Studio.

So even though they knew that Tianhu was touching porcelain, the players didn't have much resentment.

It's not easy for Tianhu...

so.

Tianhu's strategy was quite successful.

At least the first day was a success.

Many players are still attracted attention, even if they are teasing that Tianhu is pitiful, they can only survive in the cracks to avoid its edge. It was more than ten days after the release of "Assassin's Creed" that they dared to announce it.

That is also popular!

Because after these players teased Tianhu, they also remembered their MOBA mobile game.

Although many players have complained on the forum that they are too far behind Linmu Studio.

Linmu Studio is doing 3A, and Tianhu spends 500 million to make mobile games...

Mou Feng also saw these complaints.

But he doesn't mind.

He has realized his weakness, he is invincible.

And if you complain, just complain, just remember Tianhu's mobile game, other colleagues want to have such treatment!

Mou Feng let go of the mouse and sighed: "Sure enough, this is the best timing."

"Yeah, although I was complained about, my peers probably gritted their teeth with envy."

Li Guangsheng also sighed: "At least our mobile game can still be remembered by players in the cracks, and they will complain about it, and other colleagues will announce the news without even splashing water!"

"Well, let's keep working hard."

Mou Feng stood up: "Taking advantage of this golden time, we try our best to impress the players!"

...

Tianhu began to announce its own MOBA mobile game.

This can be regarded as injecting a mudslide into the game market of Dianyu, which was originally only Linmu Studio.

Although it pollutes the clear stream.

But somehow there has been a change.

It is no longer the Linmu Studio family making trouble in the fish pond.

Players are also willing to discuss, although the number is not many, most of them are complaining.

But Tianhu's mobile game can at least be remembered as the name of the game after the release of "Climbing to the Top" and Linmu Studio's frantic launch of traditional games.

This is not easy.

So the next day.

Tianhu continued its efforts and increased the relevant announcements, hoping to let more players deeply participate in the discussion and let more players remember their own MOBA mobile games.

But the effect is not very good.

The main reason is that the tastes of players have been spoiled recently, and it is already the limit to remember the name of the game with a few words of complaints. If you want them to discuss mobile games that are still in the state of cake like discussing stand-alone games, not many people are willing.

Mou Feng also noticed this situation and began to urgently think of a solution.

He has already begun to consider whether to enlarge his moves, such as directly making a hero whose strength is too exaggerated to kill other players in seconds, and then deliberately leak it to the players for discussion.

but.

His idea could not be settled, nor could it be implemented.

Because the problems he encountered were solved by others...

Tianhu's predicament did not last long...

that night.

Pengcheng.

After finishing dinner, Kong Bo opened the Vaporwave game platform as usual, preparing to play the chicken-eating game "Battle Royale".

But he just sits down, puts on his headphones, and gets ready for everything.

10 several G updates.

It directly extinguished half of his enthusiasm.

He just ran into an update.

"Is Battle Royale also updated? This doesn't seem to be disclosed at the e-sports festival!"

Kong Bo was a little helpless, but his network was okay, so he didn't break the defense too much, but he was a little confused.

Take care.

The major version updates of such large-scale online games have already been disclosed at the e-sports festival.

But he followed up the entire e-sports festival last year, and didn't think about the update about Battle Royale for a while.

But this game was suddenly updated on this day, and it was not a small update, it was more than ten gigabytes.

"What the hell is this update..."

With curiosity, Kong Bo clicked on the update announcement.

Then.

He was dumbfounded.

The entire announcement took a lot of space to describe the background of the story of "Battle Royale" that Linmu Studio will update this time.

The announcement is very long.

He also struggled to see.

but why?

While Kong Bo was watching, he thought of a question.

He couldn't figure out the reason why Linmu Studio did this. The story background of this game is quite complete.

The main stage of the game takes place on the frontier of space, where there used to be two factions that fought for hundreds of years, apparently called the IMC and the Rebels, and when they left, they took everything of value and left the frontier in chaos.

Many frontier people had no way to survive, so they were forced to leave their hometowns, while some brave people went to the frontier.

The so-called frontiers are the remote star clusters far from the frontier, where there is no war and full of resources and opportunities, but human life is worthless there, and dangers are hidden in every corner...

At the same time, the pioneers, explorers and bandits there are constantly fighting, so they use competitions to resolve disputes.

The so-called competition.

It's 'Battle Royale', the battle royale.

And the contestants controlled by the players come from all over the border to participate, either for money, for fame, or for glory...

He figured out the background of this story when the game was first released.

He has played the game for nearly a thousand hours now.

Lin Mu Studio suddenly wanted to complete the background story, which he did not expect.

Kong Bo continued to pull down with curiosity.

Look for specific game content updates.

Then, he froze again.

[New map - "Old Battlefield Typhon Star", the legendary Iron Pilot Jack Cooper has officially become the battlefield where Iron Pilot is located. traces, and there are still dangers here...]

[New weapons - Wingman auxiliary pistol, revolver with strong firepower; Hemlock burst assault rifle, triple burst assault rifle with extremely fast firing rate...]

[Newly added legend - Valkyrie, the winged avenger, she somehow inherited her father's Titan and gained the ability to fly. Passive skill: vertical take-off and landing jet; tactical skill: missile drop from the sky; unique skill: sky dive...]

Kong Bo looked at the newly added map introduction, weapon introduction, and new hero introduction, and was even more confused.

etc.

Who is Jack Cooper?

What is a Pilot?

What is a Titan?

He was very confused, and couldn't understand the purpose of Linmu Studio's sudden addition of so many characters and setting goals...

Wait... purpose?

Kong Bo suddenly became agitated, thought of something, and opened his mouth slightly.

Then, as if his instinct had been triggered, he switched directly from the library to the home page of the Vaporwave game platform.

"..."

After a few seconds.

Kong Bo looked at the content on the homepage of the Vaporwave game platform, and his eyes suddenly widened.

On the homepage, it is exactly the same as when "Left 4 Dead" and "Assassin's Creed" were announced, and a new promotional image appeared...

And the first to catch the eye.

It is the main body of the propaganda map.

On the battlefield, flames and gunpowder were everywhere, and a huge mech stood in the center of the battlefield.

It knelt down on one knee, maintaining a descending posture, holding an exaggerated giant sword full of mechanical beauty in its right hand.

In front of the mech, stood a soldier in a jet suit, whose face could not be seen clearly because he was wearing a high-tech helmet.

The only thing that can be seen is the flashes from the head of the huge mecha, and the flashes from the helmets of the soldiers.

One person and one mecha stand on the battlefield.

Stand before the smoke and fire.

handsome!

so handsome!

The promotional image is reflected in the pupils.

Kong Bo felt that his long-sealed mecha soul, the second soul, all rushed up.

And at this time.

He just saw the text in the promotional picture - "Titanfall (Titanfall)"!

no doubt.

This is a new game!

And it's a new game with mech elements!

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!!"

After Kong Bo clicked on the store page, he yelled three shits in a super loud voice.

I couldn't help being shocked.

Forest Studio! ! !

Lin Yao's appearance appeared in his mind.

Just as usual, she was about to ask herself if she was an angel.

Sudden.

The name of another company broke into his heart.

sky fox...

He also saw the news about Tianhu Pengci yesterday, and complained about it.

So it's more impressive.

And yesterday, he said on the forum that he had succeeded in stealing chicken from Tianhu.

but now……

Kong Bo looked at the promotional image of "The Fall of Taita", his expression slowly became weird, and then... a few seconds later.

Puff.

He couldn't hold back.

I couldn't help laughing outright.

He didn't laugh at Tianhu, really not, he just couldn't help it...

And this moment.

Players who think like him.

a lot of.

Much.

So out of the blue.

that night.

The words that are frequently mentioned in major game forums, in addition to "Titanfall", there is actually Tianhu...

And here we are.

Mou Feng no longer has to worry about players not discussing Tianhu and their mobile games.

Because they are mobile games announced yesterday.

And Titanfall was announced today... just a day later.

This is so comical!

Players have begun to call their MOBA mobile game announcements as "unlucky announcements"...

Players are very impressed with Tianhu's mobile game and Tianhu itself...

The game name is memorized.

But don't fully remember.

The strategy was successful.

But not in the way they envisioned.

sky fox.

During the break, Mou Feng saw the grand occasion on the forum, and quickly opened the Vaporwave game platform...

Then, he opened his mouth and froze in place.

After a long time.

"...Fuck!!!!"

this day.

Both Mou Feng and Li Guangsheng broke their defenses.

Break the big defense.
