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

Return to your office.

Part of Lin Mo's attitude just now was true, and part of it was deliberately pretended.

Now that there are so many Naughty Cat projects and the number of employees has skyrocketed, many problems are beginning to appear.

Some necessary hammering is still necessary.

The success of Naughty Cat is inseparable from the trust of players.

Many fans have developed the habit of buying Naughty Cat games first.

It’s fun anyway.

Overwatch is mainly based on PVP and supplemented by PVE, which is also the game content that is focused on promotion.

No need to think about it then, many players will buy the story campaign pack without hesitation, without even knowing what is in it.

Despite the previous reputation, this time the PVE was a mess, and players would not say anything and would pay the bill willingly.

But in the long run, this will be digging your own grave and destroying your core strengths with your own hands.

Besides, with the Magic Engine, the cost of making it as Lin Mo asked would not be particularly high.

This time the plot battle took place after Winston assembled Overwatch and the battle with the Death God Black Widow around the gauntlet of Doomsday Iron Fist.

Doomfist escapes from prison, steals the gloves himself, and launches an attack.

There was turmoil in the city, and omnics began attacking innocent citizens.

Based on this background, it tells the story of the Overwatch players who have just received Winston's Overwatch assembly order and returned to the battlefield.

At the same time, pick up the next few heroes.

Orisa, Doomfist, and Echo and Brigitte who will appear in the plot.

The plot campaign will be launched in early November, which is a good time to bury some Easter eggs about Dark Souls to warm up the players.

After making a plan, Lin Mo let out a sigh of relief and started to work on rewriting the plan for the Overwatch PVE mode.

As a result, as soon as I got started, I received a phone call.

Wang Zhicheng, who I haven’t contacted for a long time and is now taking care of his retirement.

"Old Wang? Long time no see."

"Long time no see. Why is Mr. Lin so unhappy when he hears your voice?"

"The person below didn't make the game content according to my request, so he was a little angry. Forget it, you didn't call just to reminisce about old times. What's the matter?"

Lao Wang coughed and said: "I have a favor that I can't refuse. Someone asked me to ask, when will Overwatch launch an e-sports competition?"

"Old Wang, are you pretending to be with me?" Lin Mo was speechless for a while, "You have been in Naughty Cat for so long, can't you still see something?"

"So, it's true that there is no Overwatch League, right?" Wang Zhicheng sighed, "I'll go talk to them. Hey, I'm really not happy to do this, but that was my sponsor in previous years. Can’t save face.”

"So you became a broker? Who is the partner?"

"Taobao Sports."

Taobao Sports is the largest sports goods distributor in China, including many internationally renowned sports brands.

Lin Mo nodded thoughtfully.

"Although there is no Overwatch League, it's not like we can't talk about cooperation."

"Oh? Tell me in detail?"

"Overwatch has an event in the planning called the Summer Games, and the characters will all need a set of skins that match the theme of the Games."

Wang Zhicheng's eyes lit up: "I'll go talk to them right away."

Not long after I hung up the phone, I got another call from the Lighthouse Country.

Wilson's hearty voice sounded: "Old friend, your new project seems good?"

"Yes Mr. Wilson. What's the matter?"

“A friend asked me to ask, and I’m not afraid you’ll know that it’s Invista, the leader in graphics cards.”

After hanging up the phone and typing a few words, He Bingyu's call came again.

"I said, you don't have another friend who wants to link up a movie with Overwatch, right? I'm not a film and television company."

"Eh? How do you know?"

The phone calls continued throughout the day.

It was easy to solve the phone issue.

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief and could finally get back to work.

Think about Dark Souls which was also being made at the same time.

big head.

Don't have that leisure life.

After the violent death at the opening of the Thunder Fire League on the first day, many people were too lazy to watch it anymore from the second day on.

If you have some free time, why don't you go play and keep watch?

Since then, Thunderfire Ranger, league and popularity have maintained a very delicate balance line.

If it falls again, sponsors will be in trouble with Electronic Arts.

In order to save the popularity of the game, Electronic Arts has also made some changes.

For example, a story campaign is launched, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is a competition copied from CSGO's homework, and it is a mess.

I started copying the same type of Overwatch backhand.

Many players have not yet escaped from the trap, but they just want to see what this plot battle is about.

Naughty Cat’s slogan is “Create a story campaign with the quality of a stand-alone game”.

It was obvious that Thunderfire Ranger was copying the homework, and many people wanted to see what the copy of the homework would look like.

And, can the Thunderfire Ranger game be saved?

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this game is breathing its last breath.

Will this tone be followed by the launch of the campaign mode?

Or did you die completely after that?

All looking forward to it.

Of course, there are many people who are not looking forward to it.

Li Huairong raised his head and poured a large glass of beer into his stomach.

My head was dizzy and a little drunk, and then I left a message under a video on my phone.

[Thunderfire Ranger? Can't win. Overwatch's PVE is led by Lin Mo himself, and the Thunderfire Ranger is dead. 】

Not long after this was posted, many people liked it like crazy.

But he was not happy at all.

He even smiled bitterly.

Unexpectedly, I came to Naughty Cat with the idea of ​​​​proving myself.

Was fired.

As a former chief designer who was fired by Naughty Cat, I have enough money to support my normal life for five or six years.

Naughty cats are notoriously well treated.

However, being fired was like a thunderbolt from the blue, leaving him burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Obviously I'm good enough at that level!

What more?

It is already beyond the industry average.

Opened another bottle of beer and poured it for himself.

Just as he was about to have a drink, his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hello? Who is it?"

"Mr. Li Huairong, right? I'm from Dongrong Interactive Entertainment."

"I haven't heard of it, I don't know it."

He was about to hang up the phone.

"Wait! I know your situation and feel deeply sorry. I think Lin Mo missed an excellent talent."

As soon as he said this, Li Huairong raised his thumb that was about to press down to hang up.

Seeing that the call was not hung up, the other person on the phone continued: "We are making a shooting game with skill elements."

"Don't think about it, you can't beat Overwatch."

"No, I don't plan to compete with Overwatch. My plan is to compete with PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds."

And PUBG?

Li Huairong's brain cleared up a little, he frowned and thought for a few seconds, then asked: "What you mean is, not to make CSGO with skills. But, a chicken-fighting version of Overwatch?"

"Yes! Your experience in the Overwatch development team is precious to us. Please rest assured that I am not the kind of boss who would interfere with designers."

A chicken version, Overwatch?

The more Li Huairong thought about it, the more excited he became.

Resigning from your original company is to prove yourself.

So what if I got fired from Naughty Cat?

Make a chicken-fighting version of Overwatch and completely defeat PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

Wouldn't it better reflect your own value?

"About when will the game be released?"

"About the first half of next year."

"Your name?"

"My surname is Zhou."

"So, Mr. Zhou." Li Huairong raised the corners of his mouth, "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Naughty cat, since you fired me, don't blame me for being a kid.
