Build a game empire from scratch

The virtual world of League of Assassins is still the familiar coffee shop.

As soon as he sat down, Qin Songyun couldn't wait to ask: Boss, will the multi-platform version of Journey be next year or the year after?

In Qin Songyun's opinion, it's best to hold it down for as long as you can, and it's best to hold it down until the mirage can't be sold.

As for the player's dissatisfaction, as long as the time goes on, this topic will become a Nikkei post in the player circle.

There will be anger, but it will not affect much.

Oh, you don't have to worry about this, just leave it to me, it won't take a few days. Lin You said in a relaxed tone.

Ah? Qin Songyun and Xiaochun stared wide-eyed, looking at him in surprise.

Boss, this may reduce the sales of Mirage, you should know? Qin Songyun, who originally trusted Lin You's wisdom, couldn't help but doubt it.

Do you have to be so honest?

Even if you pay attention to promises, you must do it if you promise the player, there is no need to be so fast, right?

If you are so honest, you will be tricked!

I know. Don't worry, I know very well. Lin You nodded to them affirmatively, showing that he was very clear-headed.

Then why are you in such a hurry? If the sales of the mirage are reduced in this way, won't other people's calculations succeed? Qin Songyun was very confused.

No matter who did it, um, I think most of it is caused by NetDragon. Although I don't have evidence, let's blame them first. Do you think they will let it go if they haven't achieved their goals?

Should...no. Qin Songyun's face darkened.

Yes, they won't sit back and watch us use delaying methods to fool us. As long as we don't achieve our goals, they will continue endlessly. Even once they see an opportunity, maybe more big companies will join in and damage our reputation.

So I'd rather lose some of the potential sales of the Mirage, and get this matter over as soon as possible?

It's really necessary to release the full platform version of Journey as soon as possible, but to get it over with? Lin You smiled disdainfully, Are you kidding, am I the kind of person who admits that I have lost money?

Qin Songyun subconsciously slandered: I don't know if you will suffer or not, but you are definitely not the kind of person who can squeak...

No matter who provokes you, you will be the first to hang it on the pillar of shame on the Internet.

Even Qin Songyun felt that Lin You's greatest joy was this, which even surpassed the outcome of the matter itself.

It is easy for him to create a feeling of as long as I can hang you up and humiliate me, I don't care if I win or lose in the end.

Just, very difficult to mess with.

So what is your plan? Xiao Chun interjected and asked.

Give them a reason, a reason to buy a mirage!

What reason?

Lin You slapped his hand on the table, This.

With Lin You's slapping, the material of the tabletop changed, quickly changing from wood to glass.

Then, images began to appear on the glass.

In the middle of the forest composed of pure white giant trees, a small piece of green space appeared amidst the clouds and mist. In the middle of the green space is a small pink-purple lake. Countless paper airplanes lined up and flew over from the depths of the forest, circled the small lake, and returned to the depths of the forest.

In the middle of the small lake, a villain wearing a cloak of different colors, one yellow and one green, raised his arms and looked up at a burning candle in the air.

It is the light of the candle that illuminates the forest.

The last two words slowly appeared in the center of the screen - Guang Yu.

This is? Xiaochun looked at the two villains on the screen, and immediately fell in love with this cute painting style.

New game? Qin Songyun also asked with great interest.

That's right, a new game. The companion volume of Journeyman, Light Yu. Lin You didn't hold back at all.

The gameplay and core of Journeyman are in the same line, but it pays more attention to long-term operation, more diverse gameplay, stronger sociality, and stickiness is far beyond. The goal is to make players want to keep playing and want to make friends. Play together, preferably for years to come.

Lin You looked at Xiaochun: I can make the frame of the map, but this game is different from Journeyman. Although the gameplay is the same, its core fun is different. It needs to design a lot of different clothing appearances, special Actions, toys, furniture, decorations, special sound effects, and so on. These are just as important as maps.

What do you mean? Xiaochun's eyes flashed with strong anticipation.

I hope that you will be in charge of this project. Yunmeng will provide you with full support. You can do it as much as you want. For technical problems, you can find the program. If the program can't solve it, you can contact me. For manpower issues, you can contact Lao Qin, or you can directly contact Sister Qiao. To recruit new people, we recruit in the virtual world, train interns without mature talents, and ensure that there are enough people for you.”

No problem! Xiao Chun responded immediately, and even wanted to start right away.

But Lin You stopped her, Wait a minute, I haven't finished my request yet.

you say.

Lin You said seriously: No overtime work is allowed, especially not to delay the recovery of the body. Otherwise, Lao Qin will hate me to death.

Qin Songyun, who was sitting next to Xiaochun, smiled bitterly.

Xiaochun reached out and patted Qin Songyun's hand comfortingly.

Don't worry, I also want to stay with Yun Song for a few more years, and I will definitely pay attention.

Yun Song is Qin Songyun's nickname and screen name when he was a student, and Xiao Chun has long been used to calling him that.

Then, that's it, you will be the main planner of this game, and I will ask Sister Qiao to match you as soon as possible.

Speaking of this, Lin You was still not at ease, and added: You try to play the role of the overall manager, direct others to do things more, and don't work too hard.

Don't worry. Xiaochun agreed, Where's the plan? Can you give it to me?

Much better than the plan. After Lin You finished speaking, he handed Xiao Chun a handheld.

Xiao Chun took the phone with a puzzled expression.

Handhelds have been completely marginalized in this world for a long time, except for a very small number of enthusiasts, they are almost invisible in other places.

She operated the handheld with some unfamiliarity, and opened the only game on it.

After the announcement last night, Lin You decided to make this game.

But he was really too busy, even with Xiaomeng's help, the environment map was easy to handle.

But Light Yu is different from Wind Journey. It is a strong social game and a long-term operation game, which needs to continuously produce various novel toys, good-looking appearances, etc.

And from the mobile platform to virtual reality, most of the things have to be modified.

The most direct impact: Many simple actions are completely meaningless.

Players themselves can't wave, bow, hug, and lie down? Still need to buy moves from you?

Is it possible that you have to limit the player's actions first, and then turn around and sell the actions back?

If you really dare to do this, you just wait to be scolded to death by the players!

Clothing is also a big problem. The costumes of villains in mobile games are completely different from the costumes worn by real people, and must be designed from scratch.

At most, it is to draw some inspiration.

He neither has the time nor is he good at these things, so he still leaves them to professionals.

So he immediately thought of Xiaochun, Xiaochun and the new artist, the work in League of Assassins has long since ended.

Now every day when I have inspiration, I will improve the playground, and if I have no inspiration, I will wander around in the world of League of Assassins to see what can be added.

Just right for this job!

So with the help of Xiaomeng, he made a handheld version of the game, so that they could have a reference when making it, so as not to go wrong.
