Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Most of the previous design schemes of the Wangyang game were completed by Lin Wan, Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin. The other members did not participate in the link of "figuring out the general intention of Pei", but waited for the three to complete the match. After the restoration designed by President Pei, he will be responsible for the specific implementation work.

But now, both Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin feel that Wang Yang's game has to be watched forward.

After developing so many games, you can't keep improving, right?

Mr. Lin left behind a set of standard procedures for speculating about Mr. Pei's design intentions. This can be said to be the most valuable asset of Wangyang Games and even Tenda Group.

Now that Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin are good at this, it is time to pass it on and improve the design level of other designers.

Everyone had been prepared before, and they all took a small book to write down President Pei's requirements, and now they talked about each other, and each of them said the doubts in the design of President Pei.

"The chassis, AB pillars and other structures of the car must be designed separately, and the structural strength of each part of different vehicles is different. For a racing game, it seems to be too wasteful. There is not much need for investment and production. Out is not proportional."

"The car damage cannot be shut down, the crash will cost you money, and the driver will even have to be hospitalized... These penalties seem to be too heavy. Although this will be more realistic, it does not seem to be of any help to the improvement of the game experience, only counterproductive."

"Developing steering wheels... is not necessary. There are many steering wheel brands on the market now. Many peripheral manufacturers are working on force feedback steering wheels. There are also many professional direct drive steering wheels. As long as the game is compatible with these devices, it will do. Is it necessary to develop one by yourself?"

"I think this game is very difficult to make money. According to the current plan, the investment will certainly not be small, but it is aimed at a fairly small group, and it seems that it can't support sales at all."

In the meeting room, all the key members of Wang Yang Games, they quickly found out many problems in this design plan.

Ye Zhizhou nodded: "Well, everyone is doing a good job. You must remember that if you want to understand President Pei’s intentions accurately, you must first remember to be accurate. You must write down every sentence that President Pei said so that you won’t miss it. Key Information."

"Next, everyone will focus on these doubts, fully divergent thinking, and think about the benefits of doing so."

After a period of thinking, the speech continued.

A designer wearing glasses said: "The strength and structure of various parts of the vehicle are different, and the effect to be achieved is nothing more than the different consequences of different vehicles when they collide, which is closer to the state of a real car accident in reality."

"This will look more realistic and enhance the authenticity of the game. At the same time, it can also provide certain warning education to the players, telling them that the wrong driving style may lead to very serious consequences, which is also in line with the theme of'safe and civilized driving' ."

"But this should be only one of the considerations. If it is just like this, it shouldn't be enough to invest so many resources to do it."

"Another explanation is... the collision of the vehicle itself is also a selling point?"

His reasoning is stuck here, because for the time being, I can't think of why the collision of the vehicle itself will become a selling point.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Xiaobin said: "What if the vehicle data has some connection with the real data?"

"For example, we can link the vehicle data in the game with the collision data released on some websites, so that the collision result in the game is infinitely close to the collision result in reality."

"In this way, players can clearly understand the safety of a certain car in the game, which may have certain guiding significance for them to buy a car in reality."

Everyone nodded: "It makes sense!"

There are indeed many racing games, but no one has ever taken the collision and vehicle data in the game seriously.

Because everyone knows that games are fake. Although many games are trying to make the vehicle data in the game close to reality, due to the limitations of gameplay, it is impossible to achieve that close.

For example, a sports car crashes at a speed of one to two hundred miles in reality and immediately ascends to the sky. But in the game, players crash frequently. If they crash, they will definitely affect the player's gaming experience.

So even in the case of car damage, many games will still make the car very strong, and a few hits will not affect the performance.

And President Pei’s idea is obviously to completely abandon the gameplay and achieve the ultimate authenticity, so as to fill the gap in this regard!

The first problem was solved, and everyone's attention quickly focused on the latter problem.

"Excessive simulation causes heavy punishment. It should be directly related to the first problem."

"Vehicles need to be repainted, crashes need to be overhauled, and even the driver may be hospitalized. This is to better popularize the concept of'safe and civilized driving', and on the other hand, it is to deepen the impression and let players know the danger The serious consequences of driving."

"Moreover, these penalties will actually highlight the characteristics of different vehicles, such as the economy of maintenance, the safety of high-speed driving, and so on."

"Most of the other racing games can only reflect the performance of the vehicle, especially the performance of the super sports car, but it does not reflect the economy and safety of the vehicle at all."

""Safe and Civilized Driving" obviously allows players to evaluate a car with more dimensions."

"Why do you want to develop your own steering wheel? I think there are nothing more than two reasons: first, these steering wheels currently on the market, Pei always looks down on them, and feels that they cannot meet his own requirements; second, around this steering wheel, there may be Follow-up planning is not just a steering wheel, but a part of a larger plan."

"Given that the high-end steering wheels currently on the market have no performance problems, it can only show that Mr. Pei is not satisfied with their compatibility. This steering wheel should be like the handle of DoubtVR, not only with rich functions, but also with game content. There is a close connection."

"Moreover, the steering wheel should be connected with the content of future games or other industries. Just like the smart fitness clothes rack was only used to match the "Fitness Fight" at first, but later the "Fitness Fight VR Edition" can also be used."

"This is equivalent to providing guidance to Outu Technology, which designs steering wheels..."

Everyone found that after Mr. Pei gave a clear direction, the efficiency of brainstorming suddenly rose!

As everyone analyzed each conclusion based on Mr. Pei's requirements, the details of this game became clearer.

But there is one last question, which is that this game has a large investment, but it is aimed at a relatively small group of games. How to recover the cost?

Everyone thought for a long time, but still couldn't come up with any good explanation.

Ye Zhizhou didn't intervene much, and then said, "I will talk about my views."

There is a WeChat public account [Book Friends Base Camp], you can receive red envelopes and coins, first come first served!

"First of all, whether a game makes money or not, no one dares to pack a ticket. Just like from the previous point of view, games such as "Struggle" and "Mission and Choice" are also games that are heavily invested and niche-oriented. It stands to reason that the cost cannot be recovered, but what about the result?"

"Obviously, the public and the niche are not an absolute concept. Although the audience of the popular games is relatively wide, no one plays them when they are garbage. As long as the niche games are particularly good, they will attract many people who are not interested in them. "

"Take this game as an example, President Pei obviously hopes that relying on excellent quality and distinctive game content, the game will break the circle, expand the game player group, and make niche games a popular topic."

"Secondly, this game can be regarded as a racing game or a simulation game. As far as I know, there are many loyal players in simulation games, and they are all very diehard."

"If this game is successful, it will not be a problem to have a lifespan of ten or eight years, and it can continue to update the content, release DLC, and continue to improve the quality while making money."

"Simulation games are fun. This fun is different from the simple sensory stimulation of racing games. Its fun is relatively complicated. I believe that as long as the game is excellent, most players can feel the fun. ."

"Finally, most of this game will have some kind of linkage effect with reality. After all, in Mr. Pei's design concept,'breaking the dimension wall' is a very important and often used secret."

"Although it is still unclear how it will be linked, we must always keep in mind that Tenda is not a pure game company. Even if the game does not make money, as long as the money is made from other places, it will be fine."

Everyone nodded their heads.

Makes sense!

Sure enough, the two persons in charge have been with President Pei for a long time, and they can better understand President Pei's true intentions.

Such an explanation is much more reasonable!

Everyone quickly started writing and wrote down all the analyzed content in a small book.

Finally, Ye Zhizhou completed the remaining details and summarized the game.

"According to Mr. Pei, the main body of this game should take place in a city. In addition to the traffic in the city, several highways should be extended around it to run long-distance and sourcing tasks for players. ."

“Driving in the city must follow the traffic rules. If there is a violation of the regulations, there will be a penalty. If a car accident occurs, the car must be repaired or hospitalized. Compensation will be determined based on the traffic liability.”

"Since there is a part of losing money, there must be a part of making money. Players can rent out or hire cars to solicit customers, or drive long distances in trucks. Of course, some particularly powerful players can also participate in competitions to win bonuses.

"These three ways to make money~www.ltnovel.com~Taxi or online car-hailing are definitely the lowest cost and relatively low income. If you want to drive a bus or truck, or participate in a competition, you must be trained in advance. It is only necessary to obtain the corresponding driving qualification."

"Then...Since we need a city, we can use Jingzhou as a prototype. After all, we can go to Jingzhou to collect materials on the spot, and there are many local scenic spots in Jingzhou."

"It's hard to say whether the game can satisfy the tastes of ordinary racing game players, but for players who are keen on simulated driving, they will definitely like this game!"

"After the game development is completed, a VR version can be made later to further enhance the immersion and sense of substitution of the game!"

Everyone nodded while recording.

After perfecting the details, the game looks much more fun!

Of course, no one can guarantee that it will make money, after all, such maverick games are very rare.

But there is no doubt: many of its designs have never appeared before, and when this game is released, it will definitely make players shine!
