Live Action Opens Up and Gets Blocked, Backhandedly Rectifying the Gaming Industry

Naughty cat on the other side.

Overwatch has a long schedule and the production progress is progressing by leaps and bounds.

The theme framework has been completed.

At the same time, we are busy with the content of Overwatch’s first story campaign and holiday activities.

And most importantly, new hero production.

The launch of new heroes follows the order of previous Overwatch updates.

Of course, the new heroes that will be released during the New Year will need to be changed.

At this moment, Lin Mo had the design draft of the new hero in front of him.

The new hero is a Chinese martial artist who has inherited the power of the dragon. He lives in seclusion in the mountains all year round. He has not yet been officially named, and is codenamed "Dragon".

Because my hometown was destroyed during the second Omnic Crisis, I stepped out of the mountains for the first time.

The left button is a normal attack, which will hit a "punch" with smaller damage in a cone-shaped area in front.

The right click is a special attack, which will hit a single target "Fist" with a slower flying speed and higher damage.

If the left and right keys hit the same enemy continuously, the attack speed will become faster and faster.

When the ultimate move is released, a five-clawed golden dragon will be summoned to appear in the sky, applying an acceleration effect to friendly players within the range.

At the same time, after the "dragon" hits the enemy, the five-clawed golden dragon in the sky will summon wind, rain, thunder and lightning to assist in the attack, and will also superimpose the attack speed.

Lin Mo nodded after reading it and said: "It's not bad. Remember to add a few voice Easter eggs when making it."

A smile appeared on Du Rui's face, then he took a pen and prepared to record: "Mr. Lin, tell me."

"When he killed Hanzo, he said, 'How dare a firefly compete with the sun and the moon?'"

"When he killed Genji, he said, 'You stole the power of the dragon!'"

Wang Zichen, who was sitting next to him, his eyes lit up, he nodded in agreement, and then said: "I will go back and add this background setting to the game."

Lin Mo asked again: "It has been less than three weeks since the launch of the Thunderfire Ranger server, but the problems have already been highlighted. Now, do you understand?"

The two people in front of them looked at each other and scratched their heads in embarrassment.

This time it was really embarrassing.

No one expected that the judgment everyone made together would be wrong.

Not bad at all!

There were 15 million players in the first week, but the number of players began to decline significantly in the second week.

The speed is beyond imagination.

Such sales are indeed enough for a new IP.

However, EA’s positioning of Thunderfire Rangers is not just about making a lot of money and then everything will be fine.

Hope, but to build it into a great game that can compete with chicken and CSGO.

But judging from the performance after opening the server.

great?

No need to say more.

It may become one of the most "great" negative cases in the history of gaming.

It taught a deep lesson to all the designers of Naughty Cat.

"What about the Thunder Fire League? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

"Thunderfire League started with sudden death. Overwatch does not plan to set up a professional league, and just focus on the destructiveness of balancing the game for the sake of competition. Thunderfire League has a bigger problem."

This time, neither Du Rui nor Wang Zichen dared to say anything more about their opinions.

To avoid embarrassment.

Anyway, October 1st is coming soon.

That day was the start of the Overwatch and Thunderfire Leagues.

Just look at the situation then and everything will be clear.

I glanced at the time and saw that it was already the agreed time to discuss—with Tide Studio.

When the other party's chief designer heard that Naughty Cat was interested in investing, he would not interfere in the creation, did not ask for copyright, and was even willing to give some technical guidance.

Seeing Lin Mo was like seeing God.

The negotiation went smoothly at the beginning, but later on, the other party's attitude became ambiguous again.

I got some information from Wilson of Dinis. It seems that Electronic Arts has taken a cross-step and wants to stop it.

Lin Mo doesn't have so much time to waste on this matter. Today is the deadline. Whether it can be successful or not will be discussed for a while.

That is to say, you cherish your talents. Otherwise, if you want to invest, there will be a reason why you can’t get the money out?

There are countless technology companies and game studios that Naughty Cat wants to invest in or acquire.

If Tidal Studios doesn't want to, forget it.

This matter has already involved a lot of energy, and no more would be worth it.

The time is coming soon.

Take the video call.

Tidal Studio started out as an independent game, and the studio owner and chief designer is called Werner.

When he saw Lin Mo, he was not as ecstatic as he was at first, but looked slightly embarrassed.

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

"Hello."

Lin Mo responded lightly.

Seeing this expression, I can actually guess the outcome of this discussion.

"Mr. Werner, let's get straight to the point. I think Naughty Cat has given enough sincerity. What do you mean?"

Werner's face became even more embarrassed. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "It is an honor for all the staff of Tide Studio to be appreciated by Mr. Lin. But..."

It doesn’t matter how nice the previous words are, the “but” words after that are the key point.

I am just grateful to Lin Mo and Naughty Cat for their appreciation. I am very happy and excited.

However, due to various reasons, cooperation cannot be reached for the time being.

Werner was really excited at first. After knowing that Naughty Cat was willing to invest, he flew to China Overseas to discuss the specific details on the spot.

But before he could set out, Electronic Arts also came to visit.

Comparing the two, Electronic Arts' reputation is so bad that it is called the killer of Sushou Studio.

But he was still moved.

The other party gave me too much.

Naughty Cat invests by acquiring shares and does not interfere with creation at all, but will also provide technical guidance.

Electronic Arts was a total acquisition, and he would receive a large sum of money, but from then on he would not be able to influence the studio's major decisions.

Because the acquisition was successful, he became a wage earner.

This sudden appearance of two investors came to him seeking investment or acquisition, which gave him an illusion.

My work "Black Knight" is really a high-quality game that can win the best game of the year!

As for who to choose.

Then it depends on whose bid is more sincere, right?

Barabara said a lot.

"So Mr. Lin, $40 million to acquire 35% of our shares is indeed a bit low."

After saying this, Werner smiled and waited for a response.

Lin Mo still looked calm, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Do you have to pay more to come to my place to play?

Two families came to the door, waiting for the price to be sold?

So he said unhurriedly: "In this case, I'm sorry that this cooperation can only come to nothing. I hope "Black Knight" can be a big seller and get a good result at the WGA. I won't disturb Mr. Werner's work. Goodbye. "

The smile on Werner's face froze, goodbye now?

"Wait! Mr. Lin, we can discuss it again. We can help you win this year's Best Award!"

Tidal Studios has great potential, and "Black Knight" also has a chance to win the best game of the year!

Hmm. Well, this statement seems to come from Lin Mo.

But not important.

Lin Mo chuckled and shook his head: "No need. I can get the best award myself."

Werner became a little anxious and said bluntly: "What do you rely on? Just rely on a copied Overwatch?"

As soon as these words came out, the video call was quiet for a few seconds.

Lin Mo shook his head helplessly, as if he felt that it was useless to say more.

Hang up the video directly.

Werner:? ? ?

Just hang up? !

Werner had a hint of sullenness on his face.

Then don't blame me for defeating you at the WGA and shattering your naughty cat's dream of three consecutive championships!
