There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

Chapter 319 The Defendant

"Ah? The map author of 'Lonely Hero' is resurrected? Wasn't he recruited by Kexi Entertainment?"

the next day.

Forest studio.

Lin Yao was a little surprised when she heard the news from Zhong Xiu.

"I don't know either... Yesterday I wanted to read the comments on the DOTA map, and I happened to see the author of the 'Lonely Heroes' map discussing with players in the comment area..."

Zhong Xiu shook his head lightly, and then said with some amusement: "They are discussing the difference between Dota and "Heroes"... Probably they are also playing our map, and it's not like the employees of other game companies don't play our game."

Linmu Studio is now a benchmark.

Lin Yao's colleagues are indeed very concerned.

"……All right."

Lin Yao felt that what he said made sense, so she nodded.

Then, she quickly put the matter behind her and asked instead: "How is the popularity of the DOTA map?"

"very good."

When Zhong Xiu heard this question, he immediately put the "lonely hero" behind him, and said with a happy smile: "Although it is not as exaggerated as "Heroes", there are still some disputes among players, arguing whether heroes are better or DOTA is better... But no matter How, there were nearly 400,000 players online in DOTA last night. According to our statistics, most of these players have bought "Warcraft", which can be regarded as the group of players with strong paying ability.

As long as we grasp this group of players, basically, most of the players in MOBA games will be ours!

Those who are interested in MOBA games, those who want to get started quickly and easily have "Heroes", and those who want a little difficulty and RTS temperament, we have "DOTA", many players even play both games! "

Lin Yao also smiled when she heard the words, and said: "That can't be said that way, there will always be rising stars... But if we consolidate our operations, it will be difficult for other manufacturers to seize the market again."

"Um."

Zhong Xiu nodded vigorously, then glanced at Lin Yao, and smiled again.

In fact, he didn't say something...

Some of his classmates also work in game companies, and the moment the Dota map came out, they were all cursing...

Because since the launch of MOBA games, many game companies have noticed that the audience is very wide.

After all, it is completely different from traditional online games.

Therefore, after the launch of "Heroes", many game companies have similar projects.

But now, Linmu Studio not only launched "Hero", but also launched a custom map "Dota"...

It directly absorbed the players who didn't like "Heroes" at first.

No chance for other game companies...

Many game companies have evaluated the gap between their own MOBA projects and "DOTA" and "Heroes", and have already given up the idea.

no way.

"Hero" is now very powerful, head-to-head risks are too high, and there is also the possibility of legal disputes, so many companies are adopting differentiation strategies.

But now... Linmu Studio also has a different MOBA map.

This makes it difficult for newly launched MOBA games...

certainly.

This is only part of the peers.

In addition, some colleagues have different ideas.

After all, it is difficult.

But not without chance.

Because after all, DOTA is still just a map...

Also, gameplay concepts are hardly a copyright thing.

And Linmu Studio's "Hero" has been too popular these days, so popular that many game companies are unwilling to give up.

Before hitting the south wall and suffering, some companies are unwilling to give up after investing in the early stage.

Such as Cauchy Entertainment.

Zhong Xiu also knew this.

"By the way, Lin Yao."

Thinking of this, Zhong Xiu immediately opened his mouth and expressed his worries.

To put it simply, I was afraid of being preempted by others to complete the online game.

"Actually, I haven't thought about this at all. The current map is very good, so it's up to you next. If you think it is necessary, you can turn it into an online game. Now the game mechanism and system of the entire map are very complete. This point you Knows better than I do, the dubbing has never stopped, you decide."

Lin Yao looked at Zhong Xiu and spread her hands.

In fact, she hadn't even thought about turning it into an online game at all... This time DOTA, one is to seize the market, and she doesn't even give the soup to Kexi's entertainment. After all, she knows better than anyone else the loyalty of players on this map. The second is for a little emotion.

But she also knows that if it is limited to Warcraft, then DOTA will have limitations. After breaking away from the framework of Warcraft, the game experience will not be affected, and the quality will be better.

In addition, Forest Studio is a commercial company.

Therefore, although she never thought about turning it into an online game, she did not object.

"You just let go of it?" Zhong Xiu's eyes widened when he heard Lin Yao's words.

Lin Yao also stared at him: "What does it mean to let go, what do you want me to do?"

Zhong Xiu began to cry: "At least design the skin and accessories of the signboard... We can't lose you! Lin Yao!"

Lin Yao: "..."

have to.

Take revenge on others and dig a hole for yourself.

...

Although Lin Yao really wanted to fish.

But because of Zhong Xiu's strong request.

In the end, she still agreed to Zhong Xiu...

But during this time, because of DOTA, the progress of "The Witch" has been delayed.

And the DOTA map just came out.

It is still on the rise, and there is no rush to transform online games.

For the time being, Lin Yao put her mind back on the "Witch" project.

next.

Lin Yao returned to her previous state.

The motion capture base and Linmu Studio run at both ends.

And at the same time.

"Heroes" and "DOTA", a game, a map, spread at a speed that can be described by the word horror, and continuously absorbed players...

This situation reached its climax when the overseas version of "Heroes" was launched, and the map "DOTA" was also officially launched in the battle mode of the overseas version of "Warcraft".

The monthly turnover of Linmu Studio this month is a bit exaggerated.

Even Mu Wanqing felt it was exaggerated.

"Hero" alone brought Linmu Studio an income of nearly ten figures in one month.

Although DOTA is just a map.

But this map... also has the game itself.

This also brings in exaggerated income.

Although Linmu Studio does not have the habit of publishing financial reports.

But many people in the industry don't need to read financial reports, just look at public opinion and players to know what's going on now.

Many clubs have already begun to urgently form related branches.

They began to predict the operation of Linmu Workshop.

And Lin Yao is also happy to see it succeed.

After all, MOBA games, e-sports is a very important part.
