Chapter 521 Qiongzhou Airlines

If you choose to wait for the changing to be completed, the scene will switch to the hangar below the deck, showing the logistics staff scrambling around.

"No matter which path players choose, they will face tremendous pressure."

"If players choose to launch their planes immediately, they may be put on the defensive in the following battles due to insufficient firepower. If they choose to wait to reload, they will have to bear the risk of enemy attacks and may even face total annihilation."

"As for the specific triggering results, you need to adjust the randomness based on the decision. My suggestion is that these probabilities should ideally be linked to certain details in the bridge."

"For example, if players carefully read the weather forecast during pre-battle preparations, then in subsequent decision-making, this weather forecast should be linked to the success rate, and after the player makes a decision, the staff should praise the player."

Lin Li put down his pen, placed his hands on the table, and stared intently at the two of them.

"This is the impact of decision-making. Players not only have to make choices, but also bear the consequences of those choices."

“Every decision directly affects the course of the battle and can even determine the life or death of the entire fleet. This sense of pressure and immersion is the key to truly captivating players.”

Yue Lingfei and Wu Yunfan listened intently.

"so."

Lin Li concluded.

"What you need to do is design the core decisions of each line of work to be such 'critical moments'."

"Players should feel that every choice they make is like dancing on a knife's edge, and the slightest mistake could lead to total defeat. Only in this way can players truly experience the responsibility and pressure of being a fleet commander, and feel an unparalleled sense of accomplishment when they win."

The conference room was quiet, with only Lin Li's voice echoing in the background.

Yue Lingfei and Wu Yunfan exchanged a glance, finally understanding what Lin Li meant by the "core emotional chain." They nodded, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

Lin Li then pointed to the nautical chart, clock, and some small props on the table.

"These are actually quite good. They can be made into game merchandise, and a deluxe edition could include them to make it easier for advanced players to experience the game."

After making this suggestion.

Lin Li then went on to talk about how to create an immersive experience.

The immersive experience they're creating is that two NPCs are performing live. However, the problem is that the game can't have two people standing next to you, nor can it have two NPCs actually talking in the player's ear like they just did.

In real life, it's relatively easy to receive information when someone is talking to you, but in games, the effect of doing so is greatly reduced.

"So you need to continue polishing the script, add more performances, don't let players make choices, and think of more timeline-like approaches."

"We want players to truly feel like they are commanding a fleet."

"Although we are still focusing on the island superstructure, we also need to lay out various details. For example, if the player commands the deployment of reconnaissance aircraft, then there should be a radio operator transmitting the message from a slightly farther distance."

"The scene could be made more detailed."

Lin Li spoke for a long time, making sure they all understood before leaving.

A group of people were left clapping in bewilderment.

To be honest, Yue Lingfei and Wu Yunfan had thought about the things Lin Li mentioned, but they had never systematically organized them like this.

"People are different from each other."

~~~

It was Song Zhi who saw Lin Li off at the door.

Today's events are undoubtedly a great joy for him. Lin Li clearly approves of the two of them developing the demo, even though there are many problems.

But in the end, I accepted it.

As a talented individual, Song Zhi naturally deserves credit as well.

When seeing Lin Li off, Song Zhi said a few more words.

"Mr. Lin, has this affected your normal work?"

Lin Li waved his hand.

"No, I didn't have much to do today anyway."

Song Zhi felt relieved, but then became curious again.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Lin, what business did you come to Qiongzhou to discuss this time?"

Lin Li continued walking forward, his tone very casual.

"It's nothing much, I just bought an airline."

"Oh oh oh..."

After uttering the three words "Oh," Song Zhicai realized what Lin Li had just said.

"what!?"

~~~

Lin Li's claim of buying an airline is somewhat of an exaggeration.

However, he didn't lie entirely.

His appearance in Qiongzhou at this crucial juncture before the Spring Festival actually had little to do with the game.

It was because Qiongzhou Airlines had a problem.

The problem is complex, and Lin Li had only heard about it in his previous life. In short, the reality is that Qiongzhou Airlines is about to enter the bankruptcy liquidation stage.

At this time, the Qiongzhou government approached Xinghuo, hoping that Xinghuo could help borrow funds to alleviate the pressure on the bankruptcy liquidation team.

To be honest, the Qiongzhou government was at its wits' end. Qiongzhou Airlines was too large a business, and there were few domestic entities with the cash flow to lend funds to the project.

No one dared to invest at this time.

After all, both lending and capital injection carry considerable risks.

Therefore, when the Qiongzhou government inquired about Xinghuo, they didn't have high hopes; it was purely a last resort.

However, after conducting some investigation and confirming that the restructuring team was still the same group of people from his previous life, Lin Li agreed to conduct the loan and investment in the form of equity participation.

This decision was made purely on a whim by Lin Li, and incidentally, it was also a way to establish some good connections.

After all, Lin Li really didn't understand aviation.

However, Xinghuo's current cash flow is indeed quite impressive; with just this much money, it can already be considered capital.

Since he had the money and the project was relatively risk-free, Lin Litou invested.

However, although he invested money, he was not really interested in the matter itself. So Lin Li's main purpose in coming to Qiongzhou this time was to listen to the opinions of Xinghuo's internal experts and get their signatures.

The reason why the Qiongzhou government chose to hold the meeting in the industrial park is simply because they felt that the industrial park was a collaboration between Xinghuo and Qiongzhou, which would at least demonstrate some sincerity.

But it is precisely because of this place.

While Lin Li was sitting and bored, he happened to see this message. After reading Song Zhi's description of his experience, he quickly became interested.

I never expected that I would actually manage to find a treasure.

Before even seeing the game demo, Lin Li was so bored that he drew a storyline about saving a plane from a crash in his notebook during the meeting.

The reason he was able to speak so quickly on the spot was...

He figured almost all of these things out on his own during meetings.

Logically speaking, decisions made in the context of rescuing someone from an air disaster are more timely, because the player is essentially the captain of the crashed plane.

Therefore, every decision will directly affect the present moment.

However, this gameplay has a drawback: it has a high learning curve.

If it's not realistic at all, then the whole gameplay doesn't work. But if it's too realistic, the barrier to entry is too high, and it's not as enjoyable as the Captain Simulator we just played.

Chapter 522 Before New Year's Eve

1 month 23 day.

There is one day left until Lunar New Year's Eve.

Unlike the bustling Spring Festival holiday in previous years, this year's Spring Festival holiday was much quieter.

This is because since the beginning of January, the government has set a policy of home quarantine during the Spring Festival, and the media has also been hyping up concepts such as the Spring Festival being the most suitable time to spend with family.

After finishing their business in Qiongzhou, Lin Li and Su Shanshan, who had flown in from Shanghai, moved into a seaside villa in Qiongzhou.

Lin Li bought this villa, but he rarely lives there.

More often than not, it's used for filming programs by other studios at Xinghuo.

It's mainly used more in the summer. Not only in China, but also in Japan, Sakura Studio often flies over to hold things like swimsuit shows and watermelon shows.

Therefore, even viewers who enjoy watching Spark's spin-off programs are more familiar with this villa than Lin Li.

"The holiday started really early this year."

This was Su Shanshan's first time visiting this villa, so she was quite excited.

Due to many special reasons, Xinghuo canceled all offline activities this Spring Festival, and only retained the online Xinghuo New Year Carnival, which was previously known as the New Year Greeting Festival.

Because many events were canceled, Xinghuo also returned to tradition and gave people an early holiday.

Coupled with national policies, not only Xinghuo's employees but even Lin Li himself were excited about this holiday.

Since the second half of 19, Xinghuo has been constantly pushing forward with high morale, but even this kind of high morale can eventually lead to exhaustion.

So by the end of the year, after almost all the goals set beforehand had been achieved, Lin Li did want to take a break.

He specifically chose this place to spend his Spring Festival. Not only that, he also prepared a lot of food and daily necessities and stored them in the villa.

Doing these things at this point is perfectly normal.

As mentioned earlier, the government introduced the policy of home quarantine during the Spring Festival in early January. Interestingly, this policy was implemented before the Spring Festival.

The policy of nationwide home quarantine was implemented with advance notice and confirmation.

The Spring Festival holiday has been officially extended to 14 days.

It's a bit like "Red Light, Green Light." Although we still came, we were well-prepared in advance, and the government made it clear that 14 days was just the maximum limit.

If the internal screening is completed in the first week and there are no problems, subsequent screenings will be gradually opened.

However, television experts also said that this is because it is very dangerous around the Spring Festival, with a large population movement. Even if it is reopened later, people should stay home as much as possible and avoid gatherings when they do go out.

Although this policy caused a lot of inconvenience, compared with the sudden chaos in my previous life, the country was still orderly, and the overall sense of panic was much less and the situation was much more relaxed.

Although Lin Li felt that as long as overseas markets remained in a state of decline, there would definitely be a day when things would come to a head, at least everyone could still have a comfortable Spring Festival.

Night fell, and a gentle sea breeze blew.

The villa's lights looked especially warm in the darkness.

The villa Lin Li bought is by the sea and has a private beach, so standing on the balcony and gazing at the dark sea, you have to admit you really feel a sense of loneliness.

Su Shanshan came out of the house and stood beside him.

"What are you thinking about?"

Her voice was soft, as if afraid of breaking the tranquility.

Lin Li smiled slightly and shook his head.

"It's nothing, it's just that this year's Spring Festival feels strangely quiet."

Su Shanshan walked to his side, leaned against the railing, and also looked into the distance.

"Yes, at this time last year, everyone was busy with both offline and online Spring Festival activities. This year, everything has been simplified."

Lin Li put his arm around Su Shanshan's waist.

"It's not particularly simple, it just doesn't require us to worry too much."

This year's Spark New Year Carnival is actually quite complex.

In addition to retaining the online New Year's greeting festival program and the Spring Festival special sale on the Spark platform, there is also the official release of Fall Guys and the official release of Starland Survival after the Spring Festival.

The release dates of these two games are to replace those of Hades and The Wandering Earth: Home from last year.

Just like there are Spring Festival movies every year during the Spring Festival.

As the Spark platform gradually becomes a common practice, some previously successful booking schedules have been inherited.

For example, within Xinghuo, it is generally acknowledged that the Spring Festival holiday is one of the best time slots.
