Chapter 1165 Excellent Simulated Driving Game (add 22 for Xiao Yunduo)
Lin Wan, Ye Zhizhou, and Wang Xiaobin completed most of the previous designs of Shangyang Games. The other members did not participate in the link of "figuring out Mr. Pei's intentions", but waited for the three to complete the pairing. After Mr. Pei's design is restored, he will be responsible for the specific implementation work.
But now, both Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin felt that Shangyang Games had to move forward.
After developing so many games, you can't keep improving, right?
Mr. Lin left behind a set of standard procedures for guessing Mr. Pei's design intentions, which can be said to be the most valuable asset of Shangyang Games and even Tenda Group.
Now, Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin are proficient in this way, it's time to pass it on and improve the design level of other designers.
Everyone had been prepared before, and they all took a small notebook to write down Mr. Pei's request. Now they are talking about each other, and each of them has expressed doubts about Mr. Pei's design.
"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 too wasteful and not necessary. Investment and production Out of proportion."
"The car damage cannot be closed, the crash will cost money, and the driver will even be hospitalized... These punishments seem to be too heavy. Although this will be more realistic, it does not seem to help the game experience at all, and only has the opposite effect."
"Developing a steering wheel... There is no need for this. There are many steering wheel brands on the market now. Many peripheral manufacturers are making force feedback steering wheels. There are also many professional direct-drive steering wheels. As long as the game is not compatible with these devices, it will be fine. ? Is it necessary to develop one yourself?”
"I think this game may be difficult to make a profit. According to the current plan, the investment will definitely not be small, but it is aimed at a fairly small group of people, and it seems that it cannot support sales at all."
The people in the conference room were all key members of Shangyang Games, and they quickly found out many problems in this design plan.
Ye Zhizhou nodded: "Well, everyone has done a good job. You must remember that if you want to accurately understand Mr. Pei's intentions, you must first remember that everything Mr. Pei said must be written down so that you will not miss it. Key Information."
"Next, everyone will focus on these doubts, fully diverge their 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 each part of the vehicle are different. 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 appear more realistic and enhance the authenticity of the game. At the same time, it can also provide certain warning education to players, telling them that wrong driving methods may lead to very serious consequences, which is also in line with the theme of 'safe and civilized driving' .”
"However, this should only be one of the considerations. If it is purely like this, it should not be possible to invest so many resources in it."
"Another explanation is... the collision of the vehicle itself is also a selling point?"
His reasoning got stuck here, because he couldn't think of why the collision of the vehicle itself would become a selling point.
Wang Xiaobin pondered for a moment and said, "What if there is some connection between the data of the vehicle and the data in reality?"
"For example, we can link the data of vehicles in the game with the collision data released on some websites, so that the collision results in the game are infinitely close to the collision results 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 cars in reality."
Everyone nodded: "It makes sense!"
There are many racing games, but no one has ever taken the collision and vehicle data in the game seriously.
Because everyone knows that games are all 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 do so close.
For example, a sports car crashes at a speed of one or two hundred miles in reality, and immediately ascends to heaven on the spot. However, players crash frequently in the game. If it is scrapped after a single collision, it will definitely seriously affect the player's gaming experience.
So even in the case of car damage, many games will still make the car very strong, and the performance will not be affected after a few bumps.
And Mr. Pei's idea is obviously to completely abandon the gameplay and achieve the ultimate authenticity, so as to fill the gap in this area!
The first problem was solved, and everyone's attention quickly focused on the following problems.
"The problem of heavy penalties caused by over-simulation should be directly related to the first problem."
"Vehicle scratches require repainting, collisions require major repairs, and the driver may even be hospitalized. On the one hand, this is to better popularize the concept of 'safe and civilized driving'; on the other hand, it is also to deepen the impression and make players more aware of the dangers. Potentially serious consequences of driving."
"Also, these penalties will actually highlight the characteristics of different vehicles, such as the economics 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 do not reflect the economy and safety of the vehicle at all."
""Safe and Civilized Driving" obviously allows players to use more dimensions to evaluate a car."
"Why do you want to develop your own steering wheel? I think it's nothing more than two reasons: first, Mr. Pei doesn't like the steering wheels currently on the market, and thinks they can't meet his requirements; second, around this steering wheel, there may be Follow-up planning, it's not just a steering wheel, it's part of a larger plan."
"Since the high-end steering wheels currently on the market have no problems in terms of performance, it can only show that Mr. Pei is not satisfied with their matching. This steering wheel should be like the handle of Doubt VR. It is not only rich in functions, but also compatible with games. The content is closely related."
"Moreover, the steering wheel should be related to future games or other industry content. Just like the smart fitness clothes rack was only used to match "Fitness Wars" at first, but "Fitness Wars VR" can also be used later."
"This is equivalent to providing guidance to Outu Technology, which designed the steering wheel..."
Everyone found that after Mr. Pei gave a clear direction, the efficiency of brainstorming suddenly soared!
As everyone analyzed conclusions according to Mr. Pei's requirements, the details of this game became more and more clear.
But there is still the last question, that is, this game has invested a lot, but it is aimed at a relatively small group of gamers. How to recover the cost?
Everyone thought for a long time, but they still couldn't come up with any good explanation.
Ye Zhizhou didn't interrupt much, and only said at this time: "Let me talk about my opinion."
"First of all, no one dares to guarantee whether a game will make money or not. Just like from the previous point of view, games such as "Struggle" and "Mission and Choice" are also games with a lot of investment and are aimed at a small audience. It stands to reason that the cost cannot be recovered, but what is the result?"
"Obviously, the public and the niche are not an absolute concept. Although mass games have a wider audience, no one will play them if they are rubbish; as long as the niche games are made particularly well, they will attract many people who were not interested in buying them. "
"Taking this game as an example, Mr. Pei obviously hopes to break the circle of the game by relying on its excellent quality and unique game content, expand the player base of the game, and make the niche game 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 of simulation games, and they are all very loyal."
"If this game is successful, it won't 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 kind of fun is different from the simple sensory stimulation of racing games. Its fun is relatively complex. I believe that as long as the game is good, most players can feel this kind of fun. .”
"In the end, this game will probably have some kind of linkage effect with reality. After all, in Mr. Pei's design concept, 'breaking the dimensional wall' is very important and a secret that is often used."
"Although it is unclear how the linkage will be, 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 earned back from other places, it will be fine."
Everyone nodded.
Makes sense!
Sure enough, the two persons in charge had been with Boss Pei for a long time, so they could understand Boss Pei's true intentions better.
This explanation makes more sense!
Everyone quickly started writing, and wrote down all the analyzed content in the small notebook.
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, there are also several highways extending around the city, which are used for long-distance shopping for players and other tasks. .”
"When driving in the city, you must obey the traffic rules. If you violate the rules, you will be punished. If you have a car accident, you will need to repair the car or be hospitalized. Compensation will be determined according to the traffic responsibility."
"Since there is a part that loses money, there must also be a part that makes money. Players can drive taxis or online car-hailing cars to solicit customers, or drive long-distance trucks. Of course, some particularly good players can also participate in competitions to win bonuses."
"Of the three ways of making money, taxis or online car-hailing are definitely the cheapest and relatively low-income. If you want to drive a bus or a large truck, or participate in a competition, you must be trained in advance and obtain the corresponding driving qualification. .”
"So... since we need a city, let's use Jingzhou as the prototype. After all, we can go to Jingzhou to collect materials locally, and there are many local scenic spots in Jingzhou."
"Whether the game can satisfy the tastes of ordinary racing game players is hard to say, but for players who are keen on driving simulation, they will definitely like this game very much!"
"After the game development is completed, a VR version can be made in the future to further enhance the immersion and substitution of the game!"
Everyone nodded while recording.
After perfecting the details, the game really looks a lot more fun!
Of course, no one can guarantee that it will make money, after all, such a maverick game is very rare.
But one thing is beyond doubt: many of its designs have never appeared before, and when this game is released, it will definitely make players shine!
