Chapter 1268 Simple Cloze

In the afternoon, in the conference room of Tianhuo Studio.

After Zhou Muyan repeatedly struggled, he decided to choose Sun Xilai to fight Min Jingchao.

Originally, I wanted to screen by grasping President Pei's design intentions, but it turned out that everyone had all handed in a zero-point answer sheet.

In this case, I can only choose a chief designer who I trust most and who has rich experience in FPS games.

After choosing and choosing, I am still most satisfied with Sun Xi.

At this moment, the two of them looked at Min Jingchao eagerly, wanting to speak and then stop talking.

President Pei has already left, so the only hope is all pinned on Min Jingchao...

Zhou Muyan and Sun Xi also knew very well that Min Jingchao was the chief designer of GOG, and he should still be excellent in terms of business ability.

That is to say, even if he is away from President Pei, the game he designed has some accidents, and it should not be too ugly.

But this time, the game is not just asking to be decent enough.

Three top companies in the industry cooperated, and if the resulting game had a mediocre response, it was basically equivalent to a failure.

With the broad requirements of President Pei, can Min Jingchao design a game that does not disgrace Tenda's signature? This is quite doubtful.

Zhou Muyan said very thoughtfully: "Brother Min, it's okay if you don't have any ideas for the design plan now. You can think about it for a few more days. You must not rush things in designing this kind of thing. It's easy to make mistakes while busy."

"Once the design deviates, it will be difficult to make up for it later."

"Do you have any needs in life? If you are not used to the food here, I can ask the chef in the company canteen to cook more dishes you like."

Zhou Muyan had to serve Min Jingchao.

On the one hand, it is because the working environment in Tengda is top-notch, and they may not be able to adapt to it here; on the other hand, they are afraid that he is in a bad mood, which affects the design of the plan.

Min Jingchao smiled and said, "Oh, it's okay, thank you Mr. Zhou for your care. Don't worry about the design, my design has basically taken shape, and I just need to make it simple and perfect."

Sun Xi was shocked: "Ah? So fast?!"

Although it's just a big shelf, it's hard to come up with a big shelf quickly!

Because this big frame determines the basic fun and core concept of the game, just like the foundation of a building. Although this thing can be fooled, the consequences of being fooled will be very heavy.

Figured it out so soon?

Do you really need to think twice?

Both Sun Xi and Zhou Muyan were a little confused.

If it weren't for the trust in President Pei and Min Jingchao, I almost thought they were here to form a group to cheat and defraud research funds.

Seeing the shocked expressions of the two, Min Jingchao was a little surprised: "What? Is this fast?"

"Oh, maybe each company's work process is different. You don't know the situation on Tenda's side."

"I didn't design it from scratch, but based on the tips given by President Pei."

"This is not a composition with an autonomous proposition, but a cloze with certain rules."

"As long as you master the methods and methods, it can be completed very quickly."

"My speed is at the mid-to-lower level among Tenda's chief designers. After all, I have been with GOG all the year round, and there are not many opportunities to participate in other types of games."

Zhou Muyan and Sun Xi were still stunned.

Min Jingchao gave an explanation, but after the explanation, the two had more doubts.

You call this cloze?

Cloze should be to give most of the articles, just fill in a few words, right?

President Pei is completely the opposite. He just gave a few words and asked you to write the whole article!

And they are still given some ambiguous and uncritical words. How can this be done?

Your ability is simply insane, isn't it?

Moreover, you told us that such an ability against the sky is standard among the chief designers of Tenda? Are you still in the middle and lower ranks?

This Nima...

The talent pool of Tenda designers can be described as terrifying...

Zhou Muyan coughed twice: "Then, Brother Min, why don't you talk about the specific time and plan now, I'm so curious!"

Sun Xi also nodded: "Yeah, how can you deduce a design plan from President Pei's broad conditions? This is simply a miracle!"

Min Jingchao smiled slightly: "Well, it's not difficult for those who are difficult, but it is not difficult for those who meet. President Pei has been exercising our ability in this area. I have worked in Tengda for so long, even if it is a piece of wood, it should be enlightened."

"Then I will briefly talk about how to design "Bullet Scar 2" in President Pei's mind."

"Do you still remember what President Pei said at the meeting, and the questions I asked later?"

Zhou Muyan and Sun Xi nodded in unison.

It's all simple questions, not esoteric, and they're all documented.

Min Jingchao said, "It's enough to have these requirements."

"The feel of the game and the charging mode, Mr. Pei has already explained it himself."

"Simply put, Mr. Pei never repeats his own design. The routine that "Fortress at Sea" has already used once will definitely not be used again."

"Moreover, the market situation now has changed compared to before."

""Sea Fortress" has cultivated and absorbed a group of FPS game enthusiasts, and the entire player group has expanded compared to before. Moreover, "Sea Fortress" has been in operation for two or three years, and many players are already tired of playing."

"If you go to copy "Fortress at Sea" at this time, you will definitely not be in a hurry. The gameplay is not attractive. Even if you change the skin, can the pirated version beat the genuine version? That is impossible."

"So, there must be changes and breakthroughs."

"Everyone said that Tenda games are golden signs, and players will buy them when they come out, but this golden sign is also based on continuous innovation, constant change, and always bringing surprises to players."

"If Tengda releases a game one day, but it can't bring freshness to people, then this golden signboard will soon rust."

Zhou Muyan nodded, expressing his sincere admiration.

The reason is very simple, everyone understands.

Not innovating and being self-sufficient is equivalent to sailing against the current, and if you don’t advance, you will retreat.

But sometimes knowing this truth does not mean that you can practice it. If you can do it if you know it, then most of the problems in this world are not problems.

In practice, innovation often means risk, and risk means failure.

It is not difficult to advocate the spirit of innovation. What is difficult is that a company always pursues innovation at all costs, and the ideas from the boss to the employees are highly unified in pursuit of innovation.

Min Jingchao continued: "President Pei said that the skin of the game must be completely replaced, and also said that it is low-key and realistic, and does not conflict with uniqueness."

"Actually, combined with the previous requirements in terms of feel, we can guide this is a very clear hint, and it can even be said to be a clear indication!"

Zhou Muyan and Sun Xi looked confused: "Huh?"

Where is it stated?

Unique means to make it a cool feeling like a fire unicorn, but it is low-key and realistic, how can it be unique?

It is also a gun that exists in reality. Realism means that the more similar it is to the gun in reality, the better, so how is it unique?

Min Jingchao shook his head slightly, as if it was difficult to understand their sluggishness: "It's very simple, change the packaging!"

"Who said that we have to make FPS games with a modern background? Isn't the future background fragrant?"

"Think about it, the road of modern firearms is actually dead. There are "Anti-Terrorism Plan" ahead, "Bullet Scar" and "Fortress at Sea", you can hit it no matter how you go."

"But if it is made into a future sci-fi style, wouldn't it be possible to balance both realism and coolness?"

"The realism that President Pei said does not mean that it must be realistic for modern firearms, but it can also be realistic for future firearms."

"Make those high-tech firearms in the future simpler and more realistic, and don't add so many strange special effects, it looks more realistic."

"And in this way, the problem of feel is also solved."

"The reason why the feel of 'Bullet Scratch' is unpopular is because the gun is the same as that of 'Counter-Terrorism Plan', but the feel is slightly different."

"This kind of subtle difference makes players feel a little awkward, so they don't rely on both sides."

"But what about future guns? As long as these weapons are packaged, players won't have this awkward feeling. They won't feel that 'AK47 doesn't feel like this', they will only feel 'the feel of this gun' More like an AK47', or 'This is a future AK47'."

"Now that technology has advanced, isn't it normal for the feel of firearms to change a little?"

After Min Jingchao's explanation, Zhou Muyan and Sun Xi were both stunned, with a bit of surprise in their daze.

That's what President Pei originally meant?

Before, they didn't think in this direction at all, mainly because of their limited thinking.

As soon as Mr. Pei said "Bullet Cracks 2", they thought along the lines of "Bullet Cracks".

Just like the previous game was based on the theme of the Three Kingdoms, the sequel must still be considered in the context of the Three Kingdoms. If it suddenly turned into a high-tech Three Kingdoms, would it be reasonable?

But after listening to Min Jingchao's explanation, the two felt that it was very reasonable.

Yes, a game with a sci-fi background can indeed solve the above problems perfectly!

Sun Xi wondered: "But President Pei directly said that it's enough to have a sci-fi background? Why do you have to go around in circles?"

Min Jingchao shook his head slightly: "Speak directly? Then why don't you just tell you the whole design plan?"

"That's what President Pei is testing, to see if you can jump out of the limited rules and regulations and come up with the most perfect solution."

"If you said at the beginning, to be a sci-fi background, would you still go deep into why you should do a sci-fi background? Would you still think about the interrelated issues of painting style and feel?"

Zhou Muyan hurriedly asked: "What about the plot and game mode? Could it be that President Pei has already given the corresponding answer, but we didn't understand it?"

Min Jingchao nodded very firmly: "Of course!"

"However, the degrees of freedom given by President Pei are not the same for these two issues: the former is clear and the scope is relatively narrow; the latter is vague and the scope is relatively broad."

"Mr. Zhou, you can actually try to interpret it."

"Do you remember what Mr. Pei said when I asked Mr. Pei if he wanted to do a plot?"

Sun Xi replied immediately: "I remember that President Pei said that he would not do the plot, and the funds could be used elsewhere, such as maps."

Min Jingchao nodded: "That's right."

"In President Pei's discourse system, it is basically more important to clearly point out the direction."

"Then what do you think, what is the specific way of doing it when President Pei said 'do a map'?"

Sun Xi thought for a while: "Combined with the sci-fi background summed up before... Do you mean to make more maps in the battle mode? The sci-fi style is stronger and the structure is more complicated?"

Min Jingchao asked back: "No matter what the background is, this kind of battle map is to be done. Can a sci-fi background cost more money? Is there any essential difference from a modern warfare background?"

Sun Xi was at a loss for words. After thinking for a while, he said, "...No."

For art, it is all painting. Although drawing a sci-fi background requires some original content, the workload will not be much higher than the general modern warfare background, so it is impossible to spend a lot of budget on this alone.

Min Jingchao continued to ask: "So how can we spend more money on the map?"

Zhou Muyan thought about it seriously, and said uncertainly, "...Make a map big enough?"

If you make a small map, change the style, or increase the number a little, it will not be enough to spend a lot of money.

The only way is to make one or a few oversized maps, which will cost more money.

But Zhou Muyan said this with hesitation, because he felt that this idea didn't seem very reliable.

What do you do with a huge map?

There must be a corresponding gameplay to support it?

Min Jingchao nodded: "Yes, this is it!"

"Of course I'm not sure, so I asked Mr. Pei about the gameplay. Mr. Pei said that the ghost mode, biochemical mode, and blasting mode were all cut off."

"Then I asked again if it was possible to create other models, Mr. Pei said yes."

"After summing it up in this way, the answer is very clear: "Bullet Scar 2" that President Pei hopes is a shooting game with a sci-fi background in the future, which is different from the current mainstream FPS games, and puts a large number of players on a big map , for a new mode of battle."

Sun Xi's face was full of surprise.

He never imagined that using only this information, he could really draw out the big frame of "Bullet Scar 2", and it made people feel quite reasonable...

"But, what exactly is this new game mode, Mr. Pei didn't say? Can't he reason?" Zhou Muyan said a little hesitantly.

Because Min Jingchao deciphered too many things from President Pei's words, which made him quite uncertain.

Min Jingchao nodded: "No, because President Pei's purpose is to let me design freely."

"If the front is all cloze, the latter part is the propositional composition."

"Because cloze is no longer a big problem for Tengda's designers, President Pei began to consciously increase the difficulty and give full autonomy to designers to design their own models."

"I have a preliminary idea now, but I still need to focus on conquering it and implement this idea as detailed as possible. It will take about three or five days."

In the past two days of the Chinese New Year, I have a little salted fish. There are a lot of things. By the way, I wish you a happy New Year again~
