There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

November 23.

Thanksgiving is still one day away.

After Lin Yao got the shooting done, as soon as she came to the studio, she went straight to the CG department, or more precisely, the video department.

this time.

Although the organizational structure of Linmu Studio has not changed much, there are still some small changes.

For example, Qi Jianhua's CG group has now come out alone.

They are not only responsible for CG now, they are required to do almost all promotional materials of the game.

Including the first advertisement of this host.

"How about the material?"

Lin Yao came behind Qi Jianhua and asked a question.

"Very good, but the finished product didn't come out so quickly."

Qi Jianhua turned his head and looked at Lin Yao: "Are you in a hurry?"

"It's not in a hurry."

Lin Yao shook her head: "But if you want to make it this month, if it doesn't work, you can outsource it."

Their department has been very busy recently, and Lin Yao knows this very well.

"If the deadline is this month, no need."

Qi Jianhua shook his head lightly.

"That's fine, are the other two games ready?"

"It's long overdue."

Qi Jianhua nodded, and then hesitated for a moment: "But Lin Yao, is "Tomb Raider" really going to release that stunning performance as a short promotional video?"

"Um."

"It's a pity, this is one of the most amazing performances in the game. When I played it, my palms were full of sweat. Usually it's fear and half excitement."

"I know, but there's no way..."

Lin Yao shook her head lightly.

There is really no way.

Although the completion mechanism has greatly accelerated the production progress and solved the problem of personnel, it is impossible for Lin Yao to ignore everything in the development of so many games.

Not only did she care, but she was too busy to turn her head...

And when she came back to her senses, it just so happened that Christmas was coming.

To know.

From Black Friday...that is, the last Friday in November, until Christmas, it is the shopping season in Europe and America.

Most products, including games, of course, will be particularly popular during this time.

Lin Yao had a lot of new year products in her previous life, and most of them chose to sell them during this time, because of this.

And the two 3A masterpieces of Linmu Studio also happened to be completed during this time period...

The progress is faster than Lin Yao imagined...

much faster.

And the game is finished, and it coincides with the approach of Black Friday, and the player's wallet is about to be emptied.

If it is not released at this time, it may have to wait until next year.

After all, players in Europe and the United States are one of the most important groups of players. This situation cannot be changed in the short term.

And European and American players, it is impossible to spend too much money to buy games.

If the new game of Linmu Studio misses the shopping season, coupled with the influence of e-sports events and holidays at the end of the year, it may have to wait until April or May next year...

This is too long.

In addition, Zhang Jianghu is also urging.

The disadvantages of their new hosts are completely exposed during the shopping season.

Their background is not as rich as the other two host manufacturers, and they can't produce very good works at all.

Can't beat the other two at all.

So I called Lin Yao every day to ask if Linmu Studio could release the game before the shopping season, and finally made a promise... As long as the game is released before the shopping season, I will help Linmu Studio distribute the game in the Japanese market .

Reflecta invests heavily in hosting.

They couldn't fail, so seeing that the popularity continued to drop and they couldn't compete with the other two mainframe manufacturers, they were anxious, very anxious.

And Lin Yao was fine at first, but when she heard the other party's promise, she immediately moved her heart...

At first.

After she determined the way to deal with the Japanese factory Peria, she contacted Zhang Jianghu for negotiation and reached an agreement.

According to the agreement.

The two 3A masterpieces of Linmu Studio will land on the Vaporwave game platform and... Reflecta zodiac 1!

And Reflecta will launch large-scale game announcements and promotional activities in the Japanese market before the release of the mainframe of Linmu Studio, and help Linmu Studio to secure channel providers in Europe and the United States.

This is the original condition.

Now add the Japanese market...

It was really hard for Lin Yao not to be tempted, so in the end she agreed to Zhang Jianghu and let Linmu Studio's two 3A products be released during the shopping season in Europe and America.

But the promise was promised, and trouble came.

Because we have to catch up with the shopping season, if we announce it slowly, the effect may not meet expectations.

Lin Yao can only make big waves...

The kind that can catch the player's attention in an instant.

"Although there is no way... But in fact, it is not a big problem to do so."

Lin Yao stopped diverging, and looked at Qi Jianhua again: "The game will not lose its appeal just because a fragment is leaked, but it may make more players interested, so don't worry."

"……Right."

Qi Jianhua thought of the demonstration video that cut the beginning and the end, and felt that what Lin Yao said made sense.

Although it's a bit of a dog...

"That's it, now that it's done, I'm going to send the promotional videos of the two games to Reflecta."

Lin Yao thought for a while and made up her mind: "Don't let Zhang Jianghu harass me again..."

She hadn't finished speaking.

The phone rang.

Lin Yao picked it up and took a look.

"...Look, Cao Cao is here."

Lin Yao sighed and picked up the phone.

"Boss Lin."

As soon as the phone is connected.

Zhang Jianghu's voice came out.

But not the iconic lol.

In the pre-heating stage of this year's shopping season, Reflecta's host popularity and pre-order data are really appalling.

Zhang Jianghu is physically and mentally exhausted now, and he can't laugh at all.

Lin Yao knew what he wanted to say, and said first: "I see, the game will be launched on time, and the promotional materials will be sent to you soon."

"That's good……"

Hearing this, Zhang Jianghu breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, let me put my ugly words in front of you. Although the game will be announced at your press conference, the game will eventually be released on the Vaporwave game platform. After the game is announced, we will put it on the store page and it will be unlocked in three days."

"I see."

Zhang Jianghu was silent for a moment, and then responded.

In order to achieve the best publicity effect.

This time, the two 3As of Linmu Studio will not be announced on the Vaporwave game platform.

Instead, it will be announced at Reflecta's press conference.

Subsequently, the game will also be unlocked early on Reflecta's consoles.

This is the price paid by Forest Studio.

Tell the truth.

Zhang Jianghu is actually taking a big gamble.

Because of this agreement, in the eyes of many people in Reflecta, it is not fair at all. If it is not an exclusive game, it will be unlocked a few days in advance, but it will help Linmu Studio to promote the game and help them secure channels.

Although the channel is not very difficult, in the end, how much the consoles of Linmu Studio can sell depends on themselves, how to promote, how to persuade sellers to place their consoles in a conspicuous position, it is up to Linmu Studio itself Contribute money and effort.

But for many executives of Reflecta, it is still difficult to accept that they only get Linmu Studio.

Zhang Jianghu also spent a lot of effort to convince the board of directors...

Because after being baptized by "The Witch", he has a feeling that the new game of Linmu Studio will explode...

Even if it’s just unlocking the game in advance, as long as it is combined with the overwhelming momentum and massive promotions of Reflecta’s Black Friday, it will definitely attract a large wave of players who want to play the game first.

This is his intuition!

certainly.

This is just his intuition...

Whether this will happen or not is anyone's guess.

It's done.

His right to speak in Reflecta has further increased.

If he loses, he probably won't be in the Reflecta decision-making circle anymore.

"That's fine, the promotional materials will be delivered later."

Lin Yao was about to hang up the phone when she heard the exact answer from the other party.

"etc."

Zhang Jianghu hurriedly called Lin Yao: "Mr. Lin, can you really not go to the press conference?"

Lin Yao paused, and said politely: "I don't have time, and your press conference is not in the early hours of tomorrow in China? It won't be in time."

Zhang Jianghu immediately said: "What about in China? We have actually set up a venue in China! When the time comes to connect directly, do you have time in China? Please be there if you have time!"

Lin Yao was stunned: "...Huh?"

no.

... As for?

Lin Yao couldn't help asking.

Zhang Jianghu smiled, and then replied decisively: "As for!"

Lin Yao: "..."
