  Chapter 634 Classical and Trendy

  The opening ceremony of this year's carnival is the same as "Easter Egg Adventure".

  In fact, it is almost the same as in previous years.

   Even more exciting than previous years!

  Because familiar faces play the characters you made yourself.

   This is indeed more interesting than ordinary COS.

but.

  Almost all the players, whether they went to the scene or watched it through the live broadcast, felt empty after watching the opening ceremony...

  The main reason, of course, is because the hot woman didn't show up...

  Although the Forest Carnival has only been held three times including this one, it is far from being an ancient event.

   Players can’t talk about feelings, but have memories that are particularly heavy after years of precipitation.

  Linmu Studio is now in full swing, and there is no need for others to keep watch, or to burn incense for his own electronic urn, and then burn it, so angry that he smashes the urn...

   This is just a young, fun, and surprising player event.

   These are all the memories and opinions of the players on the Forest Carnival.

but.

on the other hand.

  Although the Forest Carnival is far from having a 'history'...but everyone can see the sincerity and fun of this player event.

   The players have no doubt that the Forest Carnival will become a common memory of the players in a few years.

  Although players are not yet witnesses of history.

  But it is a witness of history.

  And this "best player event" - the beginning of the forest carnival, what is the most impressive thing for players?

   is not a game.

  Although players are now discussing the previous two carnivals, they generally discuss the series of games.

  Monster Hunter, Pokémon, Diablo…

  Because most of the players are not willing to speak their hearts out.

   But say it or not, the truth is—

   Before that series of famous game names.

   Before the announcement of the first new game at the Forest Carnival.

  Before all meet and greets start.

   What the player sees is "Easter Egg Adventure", which is an ingenious concept of "Number One Player", and it is an amazing promotional film.

as well as.

  … Opening Ceremony.

  When the game theme song is combined with a large orchestra, the game music is played in a symphony in sequence, and each COS is on stage.

   All players' emotions were mobilized.

  At the same time, the scene of Lin Yao wearing a traditional maid outfit, standing on the stage pretty and announcing the opening of the first forest carnival...became the deepest memory anchor for players.

   is like the beginning of everything.

  No matter how amazing the following games are, the most memorable scene for players will always be the first scene.

not to mention.

  The following games are all related to Lin Yao.

  Those games have already been released, and Lin Yao’s name is all on the list of producers behind the games. It’s no secret that she was the producer of all the games at that time.

Plus.

  In the closing ceremony, Lin Yao finally took the stage.

  Accompanied by the song "Another One Bites the Dust", with the fireworks falling, the scene of her giving thanks once again deepened the impression.

  At that moment, no one said anything.

  But all players feel that Lin Yao is the soul of Forest Carnival.

  In other words, it is easier to understand—it was Lin Yao's carnival alone.

  Even if Lin Yao only appeared on stage for a few minutes, her name was deeply bound to the forest carnival.

   Then the second session.

   same thing.

but.

   Now the third term.

  Lin Yao did not wear a maid costume on the stage of the opening ceremony to announce the opening of the carnival like the previous two sessions.

  If you really want to be serious.

   This really has no impact on the Forest Carnival.

  Because this year’s carnival is still interesting and the best event for players, the follow-up games are still worth looking forward to.

   It's just that one person is missing.

   Regardless of whether the lesser person is Lin Yao or not, it can actually work.

   But be it.

  This is just thinking from a rational point of view...

  From a rational point of view, this is not a big deal.

   But how can everything be done from a rational point of view...

  If you really want to use this angle, why do players cheer for the game announced at the carnival? Why should we cheer for the game character of the producer COS?

  What does this have to do with them?

  Game companies and players are just the relationship between merchants and buyers. One party provides game services, and the other party pays money in exchange for games.

  Everything is a business.

Why bother?

   And that extends out, so to speak, to any race.

  Whether it is an e-sports competition or a sports competition, it has nothing to do with the audience.

  The top e-sports players are worth tens of millions, let alone the superstars in the sports field.

  No matter how they perform, they will not affect the lives of ordinary viewers.

  No matter how ups and downs the game of the day was, it was exciting.

the next day.

  Everyone still has to go back to their own lives.

   Those who should go to work go to work, and those who should go to school go to school.

  But why do some people still cheer and even cry for the victory of their favorite team and sports superstar?

  Everyone is like some 'reasonable and intelligent saints' said - 'Why cry, what does it matter to you? Focus on your own life, why not take care of your parents when you have that time?

yes.

  Think about it from a completely rational perspective.

  This sentence may be true.

  But most people are not 'rational and intelligent saints', nor do they want to be saints.

  The same is true for the Forest Carnival this time.

  Lin Yao did not appear.

   To put it bluntly, it has something to do with the player.

   Not even taking a group photo! Come out in a few minutes! What's the use of Lin Yao!

  Stars have to please the audience!

  So if you don’t come, don’t come, anyway, there will be a few minutes of her appearance.

   But from the point of view of interest... it's just **** your mother's fart!

  Players look forward to those few minutes!

   It’s okay not to take a group photo, or not to please the players.

   Let's see.

  You came out!

   But alas.

  Lin Yao didn't come out until the end...

  The opening ceremony of the Forest Carnival is over.

  Next.

  On the screen on the stage, today's schedule, as well as the venues for each meeting and related games were announced.

  In fact, the content of the first day is quite heavy.

   The first meeting is the meeting of "World of Warcraft".

  The player also has a hunch.

  In this meeting, it is estimated that the expansion pack "The Burning Crusade Part 2" will be announced.

  Before the start of the forest carnival, the players were guessing and looking forward to whether they would rush into the deepest part of the Dark Temple next.

   In the afternoon, there will be a meeting of "Breakout" and two moba games.

  These are all ace game projects under Linmu Studio.

  Many players.

  The annual update is also highly anticipated.

   As the first day's arrangement.

   It's not really bad.

but.

   The players didn't appear too excited.

   On the contrary, he still stretched his neck and looked towards the entrance gate with expectation.

  Li Yu is like this.

   But alas.

   Until the "World of Warcraft" meeting will open.

  Lin Yao did not appear either.

  So when the players left the field, they were even a little frustrated.

  The next door.

  Zhong Xiu was wearing the Juggernaut's cosplay outfit, looked at the player's situation with his head, and showed an expression of "as expected".

   Although there was no riot.

   But the player seems to be really hit...

  He shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Lin Yao, why are you so ignorant of people's hearts at this moment!"

  …

   Today.

  Forest Carnival held four press conferences.

  Two MOBA games "Heroes" and "DOTA", one FPS game "Breakout", and of course, a meeting of "World of Warcraft".

   And these meetings, to be honest, did not disappoint the players at all.

  The two MOBA games respectively announced two new heroes, and announced a new gameplay mode 'Smash Bros.'.

   "Breakout" announced a new battle map, as well as brand new firearms.

  As for "World of Warcraft", everyone expects it, and announced a new expansion piece "The Burning Crusade Part II".

   not only further expanded the plot.

   Also released a brand new promotional video.

  The quality is as good as ever.

   When the last scene.

  The expedition team stood in front of the dark temple, looking up.

  You said that players don't feel burning, and don't look forward to it, that's a lie.

  But the cheers of the players this year seem to be less enthusiastic than in previous years...

   In front of the screen.

  Mou Feng felt a little strange, but he didn't care too much.

Yes.

  Although he didn't go to the carnival.

   But he also watched all the meeting today through the live broadcast...

  Not even doing my own work.

  Because he really envied Linmu Studio to have such... activities that can gather players and make players cheer.

  He can be regarded as an old audience of the Forest Carnival, and he and Li Guangsheng went to the scene to participate in the first session.

  Although now Tianhu is equivalent to turning to mobile games in an all-round way.

  But you said that it’s good for learning something, knowing about Lin Mu Studio’s next arrangement, or for feeling…

   In short.

  Mou Feng still found time to watch the live broadcast.

  As for the impression after reading it

  Mou Feng just wanted to say that he really lived up to expectations...

  Linmu Studio is as stable as ever, as before, as if it has endless ideas.

  Even old games can still play well...

   "Four new heroes, a new mode, three new maps, a bunch of firearms, and a huge expansion pack... This is not going to give up traditional games at all."

  Mou Feng did some calculations about the new content announced by Linmu Studio at the carnival today, and smiled bitterly.

  So what about making money from mobile games?

  So what if "Day of Reincarnation" earns 3 billion a month?

  Linmu Studio has never given up on traditional games!

   This can be seen from the things thrown out at their press conference.

  They are still using a 100% attitude to do a good job in every operation game...even if it is a traditional game.

   Tell the truth.

  Mou Feng admired this.

  Although... the mobile game is about to cool down a little with Linmu Studio.

  After all, such a concentrated announcement of traditional game news will definitely attract the attention of most players.

   Correspondingly, the attention of mobile games will of course decrease.

   What's more, the meeting held on the first day was only an old game, and there are new games that haven't been announced yet...

"Ugh…"

  Mu Feng thought of this, sighed, then held the mouse, opened the player forum, and was going to see how the players played, and evaluate the impact by the way.

   loads briefly.

   The page pops up.

  Countless posts attract attention.

Then.

  Mou Feng discovered that the situation was still different from what he expected...

【why! ! Why didn't Lin Yao show up at the opening ceremony! ! 】

  【Awesome! Regardless of the mobile game market, Linmu Studio has not forgotten us players. MOBA, FPS, and World of Warcraft have all been updated! I couldn't be happier to see what's new at the meetup, it's all great! But I still want to ask... why Lin Yao didn't show up! ? [cry]】

  【There is no maid Lin Yao this year, I don’t know why, I always feel that something is missing...】

  【After watching the opening ceremony, without Lin Yao, I felt immediately lost interest in knowing the next content... I didn’t slow down until I saw the meeting of "World of Warcraft". 】

  【Lin Yao is not really about to resign! ? [crying]]

【I can not accept! 】

  【…】

  Although players also chat about games.

  But no matter what, there will be a sentence of Lin Yao.

   Some players even stopped pretending, stopped talking about the game, and directly discussed Lin Yao.

   Even more outrageous.

   Article 1 ‘Why didn’t Lin Yao appear at the opening ceremony? ’ was also pinned to the top by the administrator.

   seems to be very concerned about it.

  As long as it is about Lin Yao, the players all look unacceptable...

   A player event.

  The word that appears the most is not a game, but Lin Yao... It is a spectacle.

  Seeing this scene, Mou Feng slowly put a question mark, then immediately switched to the live broadcast website, found today's video, and watched the opening ceremony that he hadn't watched.

   Sure enough.

till the end.

   There is no sign of Lin Yao.

   After confirming this point, Mou Feng was also stunned.

  I don't know why, but he also feels uncomfortable, and also feels that something is missing.

  He is different from what the player thinks.

   It is not necessary to look at Lin Yao.

  He has no such obsession.

  Otherwise he wouldn't have skipped the opening ceremony.

but.

  He has always felt that Lin Yao is the representative of domestic game producers, and can even be said to be the leader of all game producers.

  As long as she stands there, she is a golden signboard, and everyone including him knows where the peak is.

but now.

  She didn't show up.

  It's like the stone monument that symbolizes the summit is covered up, and there is not even a target.

Very uncomfortable.

   "Do you want to retreat bravely?"

Combining with the kanban lady's lines incident that was raging a while ago, Mou Feng suddenly thought of a possibility, and murmured: "It is indeed a good choice. When a company is highly bound to the image of the founder, it means that the founder As long as there is a slight problem with a person, it will affect the entire company...

What's more, Lin Yao is still a woman. Although it was great in the past, it will also allow players to force the standard of idols on Lin Yao. According to the current situation, she might announce her love affair. Lin Mu Studio The word of mouth will change drastically... This is indeed too dangerous. "

"Ok…"

  Mou Feng probably guessed Lin Yao's intention.

  He can understand.

  Even he felt that Lin Yao was right to do so.

  In fact, he had noticed it a long time ago.

  Lin Yao is too deeply bound to Lin Mu Studio.

   This is a double-edged sword.

  Although there has been no error so far.

   But what if?

but.

  Understanding belongs to understanding.

  Mou Feng didn't know why, but still felt very upset.

   Don't know why.

   I just feel uncomfortable...

   And at the same time…

Lin.

on the sofa.

   "Sister, is there something wrong with what I did?"

  Lin Yao flipped through the post for a while, then put down the phone she was holding in a distracted state, leaned back, and at the same time raised her snow-white chin, looking at Lin Xi behind her.

"what is the problem?"

  Lin Xi asked curiously, holding his sister's slender waist.

  Lin Yao opened the forum, showed her the players' posts, and explained the ins and outs.

   "My sister doesn't know."

After listening to Lin Xi, he hesitated for a moment, shook his head lightly, and then said softly: "I can only talk about my own opinion... Your choice is completely fine, and it can even be said to be correct. If it were any other helmsman, There will be no problem.

  But your situation is quite special, the players like you too much, this correct choice may make them sad..."

"Well…"

  Lin Yao nodded lightly when she heard the words, and then looked at the phone again.

  Thinking of the post I just saw, the reaction of the players, and the possible running time.

  Take a deep breath.

   decided to watch another day.

   It should be...not so, right?

  …

  Carnival day two.

  Li Yu came outside the venue again.

  But compared to the smugness of the first day, I am full of interest.

  Today he looked a little sluggish.

  Mainly because I was too concerned about the fact that Lin Yao didn't show up...it was too late to post.

   In fact, many players are like him.

   Even line up.

   Everyone stopped looking at Ms. COS, but looked down at their mobile phones and swiped the 'game circle'.

  So the COS ladies outside the venue today have a rare sense of sadness that no one cares about...

  But the players can't take care of it for the time being.

   Li Yu didn't look at Miss Sister today either.

  Holding his mobile phone in his hand, he pulled and refreshed over and over again while queuing up.

   Want to get some new news.

   And before entering the arena, I really found a new post for him...

  【Perhaps, Lin Yao just wanted to make waves at the closing ceremony? 】

   The title of this post is catchy.

   As for the specific content of the post, the host is also very careful.

  He used the previous marketing method of Linmu Studio as an entry point, and used each vivid case to popularize to everyone what is the first suppression and then the rise, what is the emotional curve, and what is the disappointment of the player and then the ecstasy...

  Then, through evidence after evidence, for example, Lin Mu Studio did not issue a statement, Lin Yao did not come forward to announce that he would not appear on stage, and this year's carnival is still waiting attentively, and draws a conclusion, that is...

  This year's Lin Yao, perhaps just to give players a bigger surprise at the closing ceremony.

  Don't say it.

   Really makes sense.

  The more Li Yu looked, the brighter his eyes became, and the more he thought about it, the more likely he felt.

   And the players near him also all gave a 'beep'.

   Seems to be looking at the same post.

   After Li Yu quit the post, he found that this post was pinned to the top by the administrator of the forum! Juxtaposed with the post asking why Lin Yao didn't appear, it became a rare post that a player didn't repost official news but was pinned to the top.

   This undoubtedly increases the persuasiveness.

   "Damn, is it... true?"

   Li Yu couldn't help asking.

   "Huh? Carnival is indeed real... Please be careful not to fall."

  At the door, the guiding staff was stunned, then subconsciously replied, and implicitly reminded Li Yu to pay attention to his feet.

   Li Yu came back to his senses, only to realize that he had already checked in the ticket, and subconsciously asked the staff.

  He smiled apologetically, then put away his phone, and sped up his pace a little so as not to affect the people behind.

  At the same time, I feel that the world is wide in an instant.

Then.

   Didn't take two steps.

  He saw the arrangement and promotional pictures of today's meeting.

  【Classic and Trendy】

  The two colors of gray and white are opposite to each other.

   and gray and white areas of different colors.

  The most representative ancient consoles of the eight-bit computer era and the most representative dual-joystick gamepads of the new era are respectively placed.

  See this promotional image.

   Almost instantly.

  Li Guangsheng was aroused a strong interest.

  He glanced at the schedule.

  There will be two new games in the morning, namely "Hollow Knight" and "Dead Cell".

  There will also be two new games in the afternoon, namely "Overcooked Kitchen" and "Dead by Daylight".

   All were game names he had never heard of.

this means.

   This is all new games.

   There are four new games!

  Four new games, coupled with the eye-catching promotional images and slogans... The sense of anticipation is immediately raised.

certainly.

   There is a more important reason.

   That's the 'classic and trendy' propaganda method, which suddenly reminded him of Lin Yao.

   In addition, the sincerity of Forest Carnival has not diminished in the slightest compared to previous years, and deep down I am looking forward to the new game...

   In short.

   All of this made Li Yu feel that the credibility of the post he just saw was getting higher and higher.

   People are like that.

  When things are turning around, I always tend to believe what I believe...

soon.

  The first meeting on the second day of the carnival.

   It was held.

   There are no empty seats.

  How many people came to the opening ceremony yesterday, and how many people came to today's meeting.

  Admission gate.

  Zhong Xiu sneaked a peek again.

   When I saw that the players were whispering and there was no riot, I was quite happy.

  He made a question mark slowly, then stroked his hair...feeling hung up.

   But he still couldn't believe it.

  This is not enough...

   But there is not much time left for him to think.

soon.

  The scheduled time is up.

  Zhong Xiu could only retract his head to make room, and at the same time gently stroked his few remaining hair...

the other side.

  Zhang Tian from Xihan Studio took a deep breath, then took the first step, slowly walked towards the stage and under the spotlight.

   As soon as his figure appeared.

   Huge cheers broke out suddenly.

   It was the first time he enjoyed such treatment, his body stiffened visibly to the naked eye.

   Fortunately, the player cheered long enough to give him enough time to react.

finally.

  He recovered.

"Hello everyone."

   "Maybe it's the first time for everyone to meet me, so let me introduce myself first."

   "I am the person in charge of the Xihan Studio, the first-party studio under Linmu Studio, and my name is Zhang Tian."

   "This time, I will introduce the new game of our forest studio to you."

  Zhang Tian pursed his lips nervously, and clenched his fists indistinctly as he spoke.

  At the same time, he talked about the joke he had prepared a long time ago, and adjusted the atmosphere: "I hope I don't mess up, otherwise Lin Yao will have to save the stage for the first time, that would be too shameful..."

   As soon as he said this.

  The effect is really good.

  Lin Yao said the name.

  The players immediately burst into cheers that were even stronger than when he appeared just now...

   Zhang Tian suddenly became less nervous.

  He looked at the audience who raised their heads, took a deep breath again, and said, "Then, let me introduce our new game to you...but before that, I want to ask you all."

   "Which side-scrolling clearance games do you remember?"

   "..."

  Offstage.

  When the audience heard this question, they all showed expressions of interest, and many people really began to think about it seriously.

   "I believe there are many, "City of Cats", "Threshold", "Sailboat Escape", "The Devil"..."

  Offstage.

   Without waiting for the audience to answer, Zhang Tian began to talk about the famous horizontal version of the game in this world.

  “We have heard of these games more or less when we were young. Even if there is no console, everyone has played it on the arcade.”

   “Because the horizontal version is a very old game type, because of the technical limitations of the era, this is also one of the most popular game types at that time.”

   "But in recent years, such games have become less and less, and even disappear completely."

   "On the one hand, it is because of the rise of 3D technology, and on the other hand, it is because of the shrinking of the arcade game market as a whole, which has caused many old arcade game companies to weaken."

   "Of course, there is another more important reason, that is... maybe it has been prosperous for too long, and the game makers have exhausted their thinking. In this field, it is difficult to come up with something too new."

  “The overall stagnation and the rise of 3D technology coincided with the rise of 3D technology. This may be the reason for the decline of horizontal version of the game.”

   “I don’t even play these games at all.”

Zhang Tian smiled, and as time went by, he became more and more confident: "So, when Lin Yao said to make a horizontal version of the game, or more precisely, to make a horizontal version of the traditional style of 2D action When it comes to adventure games, I really can't believe it."

   “And when I read the planning book and finally decided to make this game, I was even more surprised.”

   "Because I can't believe it. In this age, I will still make a horizontal version of the game."

   “But the truth is, I did make a side-scrolling game—an old-fashioned game.”

   "So, allow me to introduce you to this game—"

   "A tale of a young hero's adventures in the ancient abandoned kingdom of Hallownest."

   "The name of the game, "Hollow Knight."
