Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

After Lao Song left the headquarters of Tengda Group, he immediately called Qiu Hong, the person in charge of the independent game incubation base.

Qiu Hong has now opened an independent game incubation base to super-first-tier cities with developed cultural industries such as Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, and Yangcheng. The scale of the scale is getting larger and larger, and the incubation base accommodates more and more independent game producers.

However, he did not stop because of this, and is still working very hard to promote the independent game incubation base.

After all, there are still many independent game producers in China who need support, and Qiu Hong’s work is actually a long way to go.

Fortunately, this "lower grassroots level" activities are limited to various departments within Tenda, otherwise Qiu Hong will have to go to Upwind Logistics to deliver express.

Lao Song quickly dialed the phone and briefly talked to Qiu Hong about Mr. Pei's arrangements.

Qiu Hong was a little surprised: "Let the independent game incubation base produce a masterpiece of game router escort?"

"Are you sure this is President Pei's request?"

Old Song said helplessly: "I also think this matter is a bit outrageous, but this is indeed what Mr. Pei said."

Qiu Hong thought about it and asked, "What else did President Pei say? Did you say what kind of game to make? At least there should be a general direction?"

Lao Song shook his head: "President Pei just said that he must not fool the players with the reset version of the old game. The game "The Future You Choose" will be online two months later than the game router, and the timing is not suitable."

"It is best to develop a game that can match the characteristics of the game router, or at least have a connotation related, so that the software and hardware can be well combined."

"Other than that, Mr. Pei didn't say anything. He said he asked me to pass this information to you, and he also said that you can definitely come up with a good solution."

Although Qiu Hong was still a little confused, he nodded: "Okay, I have a good discussion with Xi Hao and try to figure out President Pei's intentions."

"By the way, Mr. Pei said that software and hardware should be combined. Is there a design draft for this new host?"

Lao Song said: "There is a relatively original design draft, but Mr. Pei's idea is clearer, and the shape of this machine should not change much in the future. I will send the design draft to you."

…

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Hong waited patiently for a while, and soon received the design proposal for this new host.

Although this plan is still relatively primitive, it is already possible to see Mr. Pei's design intent.

"Combine the game console and the router together to make the game streaming effect, so as to be the first to achieve the effect of the cloud game in the player's home?"

"Sure enough, it's President Pei, and the design idea is still so unrefined, it's hard to figure out!"

"But Mr. Pei said that it is necessary to combine hardware and software, and to make this first **** game and the characteristics of the host have a connection..."

"How is this related?"

"Furthermore, President Pei also valued these independent game producers in the incubation base too much, and too valued me."

"I didn't expect that I would have the day to be a game producer again, and I was also the game producer who developed the **** masterpiece of Tenda's first game console. It was really stressful..."

"Let's first have a meeting with Xi Hao and Wu Zhicheng, some of the more outstanding independent game producers, to figure out Mr. Pei's design intent."

Qiu Hong called Xi Hao, Wu Zhicheng and others to the rest area, ready to have a small meeting immediately.

After all, this is the **** masterpiece of Tenda's first mainframe, and it is not a trivial matter.

After Wu Zhicheng developed "Ink and Smoke", he had no particularly good inspiration, so he did not develop a new game project.

Recently, he has been developing various follow-up patches and dlcs for "Ink and Smoke", but the completion of this game is already very high, and it is almost time to consider new projects.

Qiu Hong introduced President Pei's request to everyone very quickly.

Wu Zhicheng was a little at a loss: "Huh? President Pei actually wants us to develop the **** game? And all our independent game designers together?"

Qiu Hong was a little helpless: "Yes."

Obviously, Mr. Pei's request is a bit too outrageous, and every time he conveys it, he will get some new questions.

Xi Hao was silent for a moment and asked, "Can we refuse this request? Just say that the current incubation base's R&D strength is not enough to support the development of such large-scale projects."

Qiu Hong shook his head: "Of course not! Since President Pei gave us this task, it means that he believes that the current independent game incubation base's research and development capabilities are sufficient for this task."

"President Pei thinks we can, but we question whether we can't, is this appropriate?"

"Don't think about the ones that are not there. Take the time to follow the standard process and start to analyze Mr. Pei's design intent first."

Although Qiu Hong did not work in the game department of Tenda, he also heard about Tenda’s internal game design methods: first carefully analyze the unreasonable content of President Pei’s requirements, and extend and deduce them, and finally get a unique Different design options.

Others are also fading. Since this task cannot be rejected, let's try to design it first.

Qiu Hong said: "Let me start by throwing some insights."

"President Pei actually limited the development time of this game. He will be released at the same time as the new console. That is to say, this game will be much smaller than the 3a masterpiece like "The Future You Choose". "

"I think it is more appropriate to have about ten hours of game time and the price is in the early 100 yuan."

"But President Pei has special requirements for this, which is to match the characteristics of the game router and achieve the effect of combining software and hardware as much as possible. Do you have any ideas about this?"

After thinking about it, Xi Hao said: "Wait a moment, I think there is a problem that needs to be solved first."

"In the independent game incubation base, there are some independent game producers, not a complete game development team. These independent game producers have their own ideas. They have not done the screws on the assembly line, and jointly develop a project. I am afraid that they will be managed. very difficult."

"Did President Pei not think about this when he set up the task?"

Everyone asked this question because it was indeed a suspicious point.

As an excellent game designer, Pei must know better than everyone. Could it be that Mr. Pei no longer has other R&D capabilities, so he forcibly handed over this task to the independent game incubation base?

This is not in line with the image of President Pei who is strategizing.

Wu Zhicheng was silent for a while, and then said: "I think Mr. Pei must have considered this issue. Maybe it's because this game is for us to make it the most suitable?"

"Compared with the general game development team, the independent game incubation base has the biggest advantage that there are more independent game producers, more ideas, and more styles."

"If each of our independent game producers make a part of this game separately, and finally connect them in series to bring players many different game experiences in one game, will it be equivalent to fully playing our game? Advantage?"

"Mr Pei should also be happy to see this situation."

Qiu Hong nodded: "Huh? It makes sense! Since President Pei assigned this task to us, he must have seen our unique advantage. We should think about how we want to use this advantage instead of being the first. The reaction is self-denial."

"Then what are your thoughts on how to integrate gameplay with the hardware of the game router?"

Wu Zhicheng continued: "According to the current plan, the biggest advantage of the game router is the very convenient wireless streaming."

"That is to say, after using a game router to build a whole-house network, all the display devices in the room are connected to the router, and then the host can realize wireless streaming and screen projection from the host to all display devices through the router."

"Players can also play games in front of any screen."

"What's the use of this feature? Is it just that after the player gets tired from playing games in the living room, it can be seamlessly connected in the bedroom?"

"This is of course one of its functions, but the practicality is too bad."

"I think this feature is actually more suitable for multiplayer games!"

Hearing everyone here, their eyes lit up: "Multiplayer?"

Wu Zhicheng nodded: "That's right. The feature of multiplayer games on the console is that there are multiple players on the same screen, so a screen must be divided into two or four."

"But after the split, each player's screen is too small. Unless the player uses a very large TV, the gaming experience will definitely be affected."

"If the same game can be split screen on TV and computer, TV and mobile phone, mobile phone and tablet, then this is definitely a great improvement for players' gaming experience!"

"Moreover, the number of players that can join in a multiplayer game will also be greatly increased. It is no longer limited to two to four players as before."

"As for the handle problem, it is easy to solve, as long as you provide players with a virtual handle APP on the phone."

Qiu Hong couldn't help but raised his thumb, UU reading www.uukanshu.com praised: "Awesome! I think this is the effect Pei always wants to achieve!"

"Following this line of thinking, party-type multiplayer games on the same screen are actually very close to the style of indie games. This is the strength of independent game designers!"

"In this way, the prototype of this game is very clear."

"It is a party game where multiple people can share the same screen. We can develop a main storyline for about ten hours, and there can be several or even a dozen different gameplays within the mainline story. In addition to the plot, we can also make some confrontational mini-games with multiple players on the same screen to increase the fun and playability."

"Compared with other party-like same-screen multiplayer games, the biggest advantage of this game is that through the streaming function of the game router, in-game images can be projected to different monitors, breaking the limit of monitor size!"

"In this way, we only need to finalize the main line and style of the game, and the internal structure and small gameplay can be completed by an independent game producer!"

"Isn't this exactly what Mr. Pei expected?"
