Chapter 1128 President Pei's Suggestion

Pei Qian looked at the others again, and everyone had different expressions.

Lao Song and Cai Jiadong didn't have much dealings with Mr. Pei, so the expressions on their faces were a little proud.

They are respectively in charge of the VR glasses and the game "Animal Island". Now that the finished product is out, they feel very proud, and they can't wait to show off in front of Mr. Pei.

Even Mr. Pei will be very satisfied when he sees this finished product, right?

As for Lin Wan, Ye Zhizhou and others, because they have cooperated with President Pei many times, their expressions are relatively calm.

Because they all know very well that no matter how excellent a product or game is, there must be problems in Mr. Pei's eyes, and it is impossible to be perfect.

Mr. Pei must be able to judge from a higher dimension and see the flaws that everyone can't see!

Even if this product or game is really perfect, it is not particularly surprising to Mr. Pei, because all of this must be within Mr. Pei's expectations.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Pei Qian fell silent.

At this moment, he was a little flustered, but he couldn't show it at all.

The character design and image cannot be collapsed!

Especially since Meng Chang was still looking at him with this kind of eyes, so he couldn't show his timidity in front of him!

Pei Qian nodded slightly: "Well, it's not bad."

"However, I have two small suggestions for changes. It is up to you to decide whether to change them or not."

Lin Wan's eyes lit up instantly.

Sure enough, Mr. Pei still saw the problem and came to give pointers!

She nodded immediately: "Boss Pei, tell me."

After thinking for a moment, Pei Qian said, "The first suggestion is the logo on the forehead of this VR glasses."

"My idea is to draw a horizontal line in the middle of the logo on the forehead and run through the entire logo."

Everyone froze for a moment.

Especially Lao Song and Cai Jiadong were very confused.

What does it mean?

Tell the manufacturer that it is not difficult to change the pattern slightly, after all, the VR glasses have not yet entered the mass production stage.

And even if it enters the mass production stage, there will be no major problems. The hexagonal part can be removed. This is Lao Song’s consideration that new models may be released in the future or cooperation versions with other IPs, so this position may be printed on other IPs. The logo has made some detachable module designs.

But the question is... what's the point?

Pei Qian didn't explain much, because he couldn't say what he originally thought.

And he knew that even without an explanation these people would naturally find a suitable explanation.

In fact, his original intention is very simple: metaphysics.

After Pei Qian saw the forehead of the VR glasses, especially the very flat hexagonal shape, it reminded him of the ninja forehead in an anime.

In that anime, drawing a horizontal line on the forehead means that the ninja has a big problem and betrayed the original ninja village.

Therefore, Pei Qian hopes that all VR glasses can draw such a line, which means that this product is doomed to have big problems, fail, and betray Chixing Studio.

It's just that there is no similar anime in this world, so everyone can't get this meme.

Lao Song took a piece of paper, drew a sketch on it, and then looked at it for a long time.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something: "Hey, after drawing a line like this, it seems to look better!"

"Understood, this line has changed the structure and layout of the forehead protection pattern to a certain extent. The logo of Chixing Studio is displayed in the center of the hexagon, and the two sides of the logo are empty, which does not seem to be consistent with the hexagonal protection pattern. It creates a great sense of interaction."

"But after drawing this line, the whole hexagon and the logo of Chixing Studio are integrated into one, which looks more pleasing to the eye!"

Lin Wan pondered for a moment, then said, "Well, I think this can achieve an unconventional effect."

"Other companies print their own logos on their products. This behavior is too common. In fact, except for some companies with self-contained styles, no matter how good-looking the logo design of other companies is, it will not look good when it is printed. Where are you going?"

"Drawing a horizontal line like this is completely different from other companies' practices, and it also shows a unique personality!"

"Moreover, this line also represents a break and subversion of tradition. VR glasses are a product that has surpassed the times, and the VR glasses we developed have made many subversive designs, which are just right in the spiritual core. It fits perfectly!"

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin also sighed with emotion: "Wonderful!"

"Before the line was drawn, it was just an ordinary company logo printed, nothing special."

"After drawing the line, it can convey such a spiritual connotation, which matches our studio and this VR eye product, and left a deep impression on the players!"

"This is probably the finishing touch, right? A true master of design can turn decay into magic with just a single horizontal line?"

Everyone was amazed.

Even Meng Chang was a little conquered.

Originally, he didn't think there was anything wrong with adding a line, but after listening to everyone's analysis, it really made sense!

After adding this line, it not only improves the aesthetics, but also increases the cultural connotation, which is simply the finishing touch!

Lin Wan hurriedly said, "President Pei, what about other suggestions?"

Pei Qian coughed twice, and continued to talk, for fear that if this group of people continued to make up their minds, they would come up with something extraordinary.

"The second suggestion is that I hope that there will be a little less novice guidance in these small games."

This is more simple and rude, and the purpose is clear.

"Animal Island VR" provides a brand-new game interaction mode, and the learning cost for players will definitely be high.

It's not like those end games. It's an FPS game. After the player enters, he knows to shoot with the left button, aim with the right button, and change bullets by pressing R. After all, these settings are the same in all FPS games.

However, there is currently no well-known VR game with a large number of players to set the operating standards for VR games. Therefore, after coming to "Animal Island VR", players have to start from scratch on how to draw a bow and set an arrow, how to cast a rod to fish. study.

Pei Qian also didn't expect to persuade all the players to leave without guidance for novices, that would be impossible.

Because one game is not good, the game may be judged by the system to be a semi-finished product. What should I do if the game is not settled?

But it is still possible to reduce some novice guidelines a little bit.

If you can dissuade as many players as you can, you can dissuade only a few players. One is not too little, and one hundred thousand is not too much.

Anyway, as long as it can dissuade players, it is a good design.

This time, everyone was even more confused.

This behavior is even more counterintuitive, because all game designers will understand one of the most basic design concepts when they first enter the industry: the more detailed and rich the novice guide, the better.

Because you can never imagine what will happen to players when they experience a new game.

The IQ of games is different from person to person. Some people are born smart, and they can play games as soon as they get started; while some people are very ignorant at the novice stage, and can't even do very simple operations.

Moreover, sometimes the player is not stupid, it is simply that the brain circuit does not match the designer's brain circuit, so it gets stuck.

The number of players in the game is large enough, so it is inevitable that there will be a few players with relatively clear brain circuits. Once they get stuck without sufficient guidance for newbies, they may be lost.

Therefore, sometimes the novice guide will be very mentally handicapped, and it seems that it is prepared for three-year-old children. This is also a helpless thing.

Lin Wan frowned again in deep thought.

Suddenly, she felt a flash of inspiration: "I understand!"

Pei Qian hurriedly raised his hand and interrupted her: "It's good if you understand, you don't have to say it every time!"

Good guy, misinterpreting what I said now is misinterpreting face-to-face, instant misinterpretation, and it doesn’t happen overnight at all, is that okay?

How you like to interpret it is up to you, don't say it in front of me, it's going to cause me trouble, okay?

Lin Wan immediately understood: "Okay, Boss Pei."

"Uh...one more question."

"Why don't you give this glasses a name?"

Pei Qian was a little speechless.

Why are all the named jobs given to me now?

He can't even remember how many names he has given.

But on second thought, no matter what, who made himself a little genius? And you can get a good start by naming yourself.

"Oh well."

Pei Qian thought about it. In his impression, most of the names of VR glasses use a single English word, and they all have certain meanings, which is more compelling.

Separate Chinese characters are not bad, but Pei Qian doesn't want to overemphasize the domestic status of this glasses, so as not to arouse everyone's support for domestic products. Choose an English name, just go with the flow.

The names given by others are all similar to names like quest, index, and rift.

"Then... let's call it doubt."

Pei Qian's original intention was that the success of the glasses is full of doubts and impossible.

As for the word "doubt", using question or problem will have a neutral meaning, and using doubt may be more negative.

It means that it is completely uncertain and very unreliable.

Lin Wan nodded slightly.

Although she still can't understand the deep meaning of this name well now, she will definitely figure it out later.

"In short, thank you so much, Mr. Pei!"

"It's like seeing the sun through the clouds."

Pei Qian waved his hand, indicating that it was a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.

"Okay, I have nothing else to do and I'll go first."

After holding the scene, Pei Qian waved and took Meng Chang away.

Pei Qian's final operation completely shocked Lao Song and Cai Jiadong.

They thought the glasses and the game were perfect, but they didn't expect Mr. Pei to find out the problem easily.

And it's not a harmless little problem, but a key problem that improves a lot after getting rid of it!

This made them sigh with emotion, as expected of Mr. Pei!

I've been hearing everyone blowing Mr. Pei into a terrific way before, and I didn't even believe it, but now it seems that the blowing is really not an exaggeration at all!

Apart from the two of them, Meng Chang was also shocked.

Originally, Meng Chang had already looked at Boss Pei with the mentality of seeing that the funeral was not too big, but now, he did not dare to make mistakes at all.

Needless to say the first suggestion, everyone present has already given the answer.

Although there is no clear explanation for the second suggestion, judging from Lin Wan's expression, it obviously has a huge improvement effect on the game.

After coming out, seeing no one around, Meng Chang asked curiously, "Boss Pei, are you really so confident?"

"I feel that the reverse promotion plan will definitely be successful, so even if I make suggestions and improve the product, it will not have any impact on the promotion plan?"

Pei Qian said hehe in his heart.

Which of your eyes can see that I am making suggestions and improving products?

These two suggestions I made are trying to reduce the difficulty of next month's publicity plan, okay?

It's just that they misunderstood a little bit...

But this kind of thing can't be explained, so I can only keep silent and refuse to answer.

Seeing Mr. Pei's inscrutable expression, Meng Chang became more certain of his guess.

Sure enough, Pei always wanted to prove it to me with counter-propaganda, but also let the VR glasses and games explode normally to make money!

If the sales of the game are not good in order to prove that the reverse propaganda is feasible, it is obviously a loss for Mr. Pei.

Only when the purpose of reverse publicity is fulfilled, and the VR glasses and games make a lot of money, is President Pei's ultimate goal!

But... can this really be done?

Not to mention persisting for a month, Meng Chang felt that it was impossible to persist for two weeks.

But looking at Mr. Pei's strategizing, he obviously didn't take this matter as a problem at all.

Sure enough, it was a complete illusion that Mr. Pei was difficult before.

Let's just watch Boss Pei's operations honestly!

...

After Mr. Pei left, Cai Jiadong asked, "Why did Mr. Pei ask us to do less guidance for novices? This seems... a bit inconsistent with common sense."

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin looked at each other, then at Lin Wan: "We do have some ideas, but they may not be comprehensive."

Lin Wan nodded: "Then let me say it."

"Considering that many players are playing VR games for the first time, they don't know how to operate VR games, so more guidance for beginners is needed. This is a question that most designers will think of."

"But how could Boss Pei be an ordinary designer?"

"I must have thought of a higher level!"

"Boss Pei's words are definitely not telling us to give up the novice guide and persuade players to quit."

"What Mr. Pei means is, let us cut down those complicated steps while completing the novice guide, so that the whole process will be more smooth, concise and natural!"

"The best novice guide is not to tell the player what to do with a long text or voice, but to allow the player to use common sense to judge and know how to use it the moment they see something!"

"For example, put a few raw apples on the far side of the fire, and put a few ripe apples next to the fire. There is no need to tell the player 'the fire can bake apples', the player will understand the game immediately when they see this scene mechanism."

"The same is true for "Animal Island VR". If we use interrupted voice or text to teach players, it will be very cumbersome on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will make players feel more out of play."

"If we use a more natural way to guide players, it is concise and allows players to learn these operations naturally in the process of experiencing the fun of the game. Most importantly, this teaching method can better demonstrate the superiority of VR games !"

"Take archery as an example. In computer games, which button to press to draw a bow and arrow depends entirely on the designer's idea, and it is difficult for players to guess. Unless many archery games are fixed to use the right mouse button to shoot arrows, players will form memory."

"But in VR games, there is no need to teach at all. Players will naturally feel to draw the bow with the left hand, put the arrow in the right hand, and let go of the arrow."

"So, we should abandon those cumbersome instructions and guide players in a more ingenious way."

"For example, try to let the player see the bow and arrow feathers on his back and stretch out to the right shoulder, implying that he can draw the arrow directly from the right shoulder; let a small animal that can hunt make a hunting action to guide the player do something similar."

"Integrate guidance into the game content skillfully, allowing players to naturally explore and think about how to do it. Doesn't this also give players a great sense of accomplishment?"

Cai Jiadong suddenly realized: "So it is!"

"If you change a game mode, the way of guiding newbies will naturally also change."

"President Pei's idea is the result of considering the special form of VR games and thinking about the problem from a higher level!"

Lao Song couldn't help but nodded.

Although he doesn't understand game design, but hearing what Lin Wan said, he immediately felt that Boss Pei was too powerful.

"but……"

"I don't like the name doubt very much. It's not a particularly good word."

As the project manager of the VR glasses and the person who actually designed and developed the glasses, Lao Song was a little dissatisfied with the name.

Lin Wan said: "Mr. Pei's name must have some special meaning in it."

"At present, everyone thinks this name is not pleasant, mainly because the meaning has not been revealed, and the name has not been endowed with a special humanistic aura."

"After Mr. Pei's true meaning is revealed, this name will definitely impress people!"
