Lincoln shook his head, feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Why did it seem like every time he wanted to do something, a bunch of problems and choices would come flooding in all at once?
Do entrepreneurs always feel like this?
Or is it just transmigrators who feel this way?
On the way back home after dinner, Lincoln was unusually not in the co-driver’s seat. Instead, he explained the situation to Yue Pengju and sat in the back seat, contemplating quietly.
Is Pokémon good?
Of course, it’s good! With a total revenue of hundreds of billions of dollars and memories of several generations, who could say it isn’t good?
But is it suitable for direct adaptation?
Not necessarily.
In his previous life, Pokémon’s success was not achieved overnight. They even didn’t often call it a “game IP” but rather referred to it as an “entertainment IP”.
Pokémon’s success was made possible by over 20 years of brand management and IP operation.
From the beginning, Pokémon was not just limited to games. It spawned animations, movies, books, toys, snacks, drinks, and even large-scale theme airplanes!
This was indeed a complex and difficult process.
In this world, there is no such foundation.
Of course, it’s not to say that without this foundation, the game cannot succeed. But, without the foundation built over 20 years, players lack enough awareness and can’t make use of that power.
The only thing that can be borrowed is gameplay and idea.
So, instead of copying it wholesale, it’s better to take its essence and modify it locally.
Even the adaptation method can be found readily, like — “Classics of Mountains and Seas GO”?
Lincoln shook his head again.
No, no, that’s the right idea, but the name isn’t right — it’s neither Chinese nor foreign.
Got to come up with a good name.
There’s no need to be limited by the Classics of Mountains and Seas. The original cute Pokémon, with an upgrade in refinement, could also be used. As long as the beautician can ensure a consistent style when drawing, it won’t matter if it’s the Classics of Mountains and Seas or Pokémon, even the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons could be integrated.
It’s just a matter of making it into an expansion!
However, this raises another issue: with Cloud Dream’s speed in producing games, helping disabled people will have to wait several rounds before equipment is available.
By doing so, he would deviate from the original intention of helping disabled people.
So, game development must have proper confidentiality, and the pace needs to be controlled, leaving enough room for disabled people.
It’s best to wait until the game is almost finished, and when the trailer is released, visually and hearing impaired people have already bought and started using the equipment.
Releasing the game at this D0int will not onlv open the eves of Dlavers,
presenting them with more possibilities in gaming, but also alleviate some potential adverse effects on players’ health from lying in bed all day, playing a virtual game.
There are more benefits: if players using equipment to catch Pokémon are visible all over the streets, then visually and hearing impaired people who have to wear equipment to go out won’t be stared at with special stares from passers-by.
At most, they’ll be treated as gamers addicted to playing — and presumably, they won’t mind that.
After settling a new game plan in his mind, Lincoln felt even more troubled.
The originally planned Super Amusement Park and Block World were still on the drawing board, and now an additional Pokémon project was added, which made his head ache just thinking about it.
Upon returning home, Lorin had already left with someone, leaving the house tidy and clean, even the trash can was emptied. Lincoln undressed and went straight to bed.
Worries, leave them for workdays!
The next day, in a sleepy daze, Lincoln heard a faint, almost imperceptible, singing voice.
Groggily, Lincoln gradually woke up and realized it was Mavis singing.
Lincoln helplessly said, “Mavis, today is Saturday, let me sleep in for a while, huh?”
“Of course,” Mavis’s voice was soft and gentle, “but Master, you’ve always wanted to see ‘Bullet Curving’ on the hot searches, right?”
Hearing this, Lincoln sobered up a bit.
Indeed, “Bullet Curving”, which he originally thought was his biggest selling point, had never made it on the hot search list.
Every time there was some buzz in the game, it was some weird keywords that surrounded it. This issue had become a thorn in his side.
“Is it on the hot search now?” Lincoln spoke to Mavis while still wrapped in his blanket, not even opening his eyes.
“Yes!” Mavis confirmed, and then her tone changed, “But it’s not quite what you imagined, Master.”
“Not the same? What could be different?”
“It’s better for Master to see it for himself!” Mavis’s voice seemed a bit off, but Lincoln was still not fully awake and didn’t notice.
Torn between sleepiness and curiosity, Lincoln finally opened his eyes with a struggle.
“Alright.” He reached for the tablet on the bedside table. “Show me.”
Mavis adjusted the brightness of the tablet so that Lincoln could see the details clearly without hurting his eyes. Then she opened the link on the hot search list.
The video that opened had a title that hit Lincoln like a ton of bricks— “Bullet Curving, that’s it?”
He was instantly wide awake, “What the hell?”
Though the screen of the tablet didn’t change, the sound of Mavis’s mischievous laugh could be heard.
“Fine, fine.” Lincoln realized he had been tricked by Mavis and shook his head as he opened the video.
At the beginning of the video, a very strong-looking player in a tank top was forging iron with a hammer in front of a furnace.
With each rhythmic strike, the player continued to forge, fold, and re-forge. The red-hot iron ingot gradually became thinner and flatter…
In the end, the player finished tempering and produced a curved knife slightly longer than his forearm, adorned with delicate patterns. It looked somewhat like an Indian scimitar, but without the large curve.
However, it didn’t matter as the lens immediately switched to the combat scene:
The player held the curved knife, and during his first battle with the cold weapon mentor, “Butcher”, he quickly defeated him with a few slashes, almost making Firefox’s eyes bulge as he watched.
But instead of more storyline tasks, the video began to show player PVP scenes.
This guy didn’t even bring a gun, just carried a cold weapon, faced the bullets shot at him head-on, and activated [Assassin Bloodline] to charge straight ahead!
He moved his knife with minimal motion, and sparks filled the air as he sliced through the bullets one by one!
The opposing player retreated in panic while trying to use [Curved Shot] to change the bullet trajectory, attempting to disrupt his rhythm.
But he simply sidestepped, then slashed the bullet coming from the side!
After continuous slashing, he split all the bullets from the opponent’s two guns, denying them the chance to reload, and directly stabbed the opponent in the chest!
The incredulous look in the eyes of the dead opponent matched Lincoln’s stunned expression.
In the rest of the video, there were simply highlights of his cold weapon kills—various instances of slashing bullets, assassinations with cold weapons, close combat, etc…
There was even footage of him fighting the Metropolis Police with cold weapons—carrying two knives, dodging bullets while moving, slicing through threatening bullets, and charging head-on into the police crowd!
“What the fuck!” Lincoln exclaimed in surprise!
What the hell is this?!
Can [Cold Weapon Combat] achieve this effect??
Why didn’t I know this?!</p
