Chapter 347 Minimalist Design Concept
Huang Jing already claims to be half a fan, but she is still a little ashamed to see some media/self-media's remarks about kneeling and licking Lin Hui.

Huang Jing was flipping through "Gao Wan Ku Criticism" today.

She found that "Gaowan Kuping", a relatively professional software evaluation column in China, is all about GRAY FOREST:

"Hello, everyone, I am Gao Wanjun you are familiar with, in this issue we will talk about the minimalist design of the software.

Software designers often flaunt the simple design style of minimalism.

But is the simple design style of minimalism really so easy to achieve overnight?
It is not difficult to find out by looking at the design concept of the software. In fact, the simple design of software minimalism has three enemies:

- configuration files, redundant parameters, and a large number of complex interfaces.

Most minimalist designers have the minimalist design concept of minimalist style in mind.

However, it is limited by configuration files, redundant parameters, and a large number of complex interfaces.

People who claim to be minimal design often create software that doesn't do what they claim.

In particular, many large Vs that have always advertised a simple design have an astonishingly high redundant configuration of their software.

When looking through the 'XXXX×' software developed by a well-known 'simple designer', our team unexpectedly found that 90% of its configurations are redundant.

Although from an engineering point of view, it is necessary to maintain a certain degree of redundancy in software design.

But 90% redundant configuration is really too much.

Gao Wanjun suddenly wondered what is the situation of the simple design pursued by the simple designer.

To Gao Wanjun, I feel that even the famous minimalist designer loves configuration very much.

In Gao Wanjun's opinion, if it is not for the designer who is obsessed with configuration when creating software, he thinks that more configuration items mean that the software is more powerful and the scope of application is wider.

It is hard for Gao Wanjun to imagine how a piece of software can come up with 90% redundant configuration.

Gao Wanjun did not know the reason for so many redundant configurations of the software until he consulted the design details of the 'XXXX×' software made by the famous software engineer.

A software engineer is working on the configure file of the 'XXXX×' software, often listing hundreds of configuration items.

But do we really need so many configuration items?
Not necessarily, under normal circumstances, we need the default values.What is default?Because the software designer thinks that these are the most optimal and most likely to be selected configurations, since they are the optimal configurations, why do we have to change them?

Another example is that a certain software engineer is working on the parameter setting of the 'XXXX×' software..."

"..."

After a long period of hatred, "Gaowan Kuping" immediately said without surprise:

"Minimalism's minimalist design style is not so much a philosophy as it is a capability.

Blindly pursuing minimalist design without the corresponding overall planning ability will only bring shame upon oneself.

The designer of software like 'XXXX×' is obviously this type.

Although in Gao Wanjun's view, there are many speculators who are the designer of the software 'XXXX×' and speculators who are very similar to 'XX' who are just playing minimalist gimmicks, but the vast majority Jane software lovers need not be pessimistic.

There are still pure minimalist designers in our country.

Yes, that's right, I said GRAY FOREST.
The game "T-rex's Journey" recently created by GRAY FOREST is a representative of the typical minimalist style...

How should I say this game, although it plays like that, it is unremarkable.

But from a designer's point of view, I think the game "T-rex's Journey" is a typical post-modern minimalist style.

Why do you say that, let’s look at Gao Wanjun’s detailed analysis..."

Can make Gao Wanjun, who has always been known for his aloofness, kneel and lick so unscrupulously.

Huang Jing was very curious about how Gray Forest did this?
Is it the power of money, or py transactions.

Or it has nothing to do with behind-the-scenes transactions.

Is it all because of the strong appeal and charisma possessed by GRAY FOREST?
