Chapter 1302 The Story Behind the Tenda Game

Li Yada's words made Yan Qi a little ashamed.

Although it was a pot of cold water pouring down on the head, which was very shocking, but objectively it also made his brain sober a lot.

Indeed it is.

For this game, he himself does not have a very strong urge to make it, he just feels that it is a pass, how can he conquer the players and make them feel like they can't stop?

But after thinking about it, Yan Qi felt that Li Yada had a little back pain while standing and talking.

Innovation means innovation?

If innovation is like Chinese cabbage sold on the street, will there be so many garbage games every year?

Do you really think that the producers who make junk games are all because of bad hearts?

Of course, some producers or investors may really not understand, or they are really focused on making money, but there are also many people who are simply incompetent, and what can they do if they can't make good games?

If I had the brain of President Pei, I would also do different types of games for each game. After finishing the game, players would still be clamoring to buy it, which would be great.

Who doesn't want to make their own game? Who doesn't want to be a pioneer? Who wants to learn from others?

The key is not to have this ability.

After all, he is responsible for the livelihood of dozens of people in the whole studio. The price of failure is too great to bear.

Yan Qi felt that although Li Yada was also an insider in the game industry, he was a channel after all.

Channels and development are two completely different worlds.

According to the current relationship, the channel is equivalent to Party A. It is enough to pick and choose among a bunch of games and choose the game that you are satisfied with. If you are not satisfied, you can ask the game developer to change it.

The development is equivalent to Party B, which is even worse. Except for a few companies with strong R&D capabilities and the right to speak, most other small companies are not allowed to have their own opinions. Recommend and promote resources.

The Chaolu game platform is indeed a platform for standing to make money. With this qualification, Li Yada, as a staff member of the game platform, has an understandable personality.

But the key is to consider the objective situation on Yan Qi's side.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a mistake of "why not eat minced meat"?

Yan Qi coughed twice: "Sister Li, I also want to make epoch-making innovations, but I also have to consider objective conditions, right?"

"Blade of Empires is an ordinary mobile game. I plan to transform into an action-type stand-alone game, which is already taking a lot of risks. If it is unstable, I will blindly pursue innovation and unconventionality. I am afraid to step forward. It's too big, and it's easy to pull the egg."

"There is no accumulation at all, so it is forced to do action games, there must be no transition."

Li Yada pushed his glasses: "Before the "Back to the Shore" was done, the team had absolutely no experience in making action games."

"The previous game was "Game Producer", and it wasn't next to each other at all."

Yan Qi was at a loss for words: "This..."

"Sister Li, do you think too highly of me when you compare me to President Pei?"

"If I want the brain of President Pei, then I dare to take risks, but I don't have it."

After a moment of silence, Li Yada said, "Have you ever considered that it may be that you got the cause and effect relationship wrong?"

"You think Mr. Pei has the courage to change after he has an idea."

"But maybe Pei always had the courage before he had the idea to change?"

"Does the ability determine the mentality, or does the mentality determine the ability? Do you think a person has a correct mentality first, or has a mature ability?"

Li Yada's remarks are obviously the heartfelt words summed up by her working in Tengda for so long and studying game design with President Pei for so long.

Pei is always not a game design genius?

of course.

But it is obviously not objective to say that President Pei's success is entirely due to his ability.

In fact, the most amazing thing about President Pei is not his game design ability, but his determination and courage.

Take "Back to the Shore" as an example, President Pei actually didn't intervene too much in the design details of the game, but he repeatedly emphasized that the difficulty of the game was increased and then increased.

The reason is very simple: perfecting the details of the game design is a job that every chief designer, even the general functional designers of the development team can do; and increasing the difficulty of the game, risking a large number of players being persuaded to stick to this design The idea is something that only President Pei can do.

Only Boss Pei has this kind of determination and overall view, and only Boss Pei can take on such a responsibility.

It's not just "Back to the Shore", in fact, most of Tenda's games are playing with fire and jumping repeatedly at the risk of hitting the street.

But without this determination, these games would not have been born at all, not even design drafts.

Moreover, in his daily work, President Pei also encourages his subordinates more than he instructs them.

President Pei rarely teaches his subordinates how to do, how to design, and how to think about problems. Instead, he encourages subordinates to think independently and solve the problem in their own way.

At most, it is to give some hints and let the subordinates realize it by themselves.

For those subordinates who are not confident, Pei will always tell him repeatedly, don't worry, you are completely fine.

The previous chief designers of Tenda Games have grown up under this encouragement.

Therefore, this is actually Li Yada's heartfelt words. She feels that she can achieve such growth mainly because under the leadership of President Pei, she has gained the courage to change.

First, you are not bound by those rules and regulations for stability, and then you are qualified to talk about design and innovation.

Li Yada's words really made Yan Qi stunned.

After tasting it carefully, he felt that it did make some sense!

On the surface, ability and mentality are equally important and are indispensable.

But a person without a good attitude cannot have ability, because ability is cultivated and exercised, not created out of thin air.

If a person has a bad mentality and cannot even cultivate the most basic abilities, how can he be successful?

Making up your mind to change may not necessarily succeed, but if you look ahead, you will fail.

Yan Qi was silent for a long time, and suddenly realized a question: "Hey, Sister Li, after hearing what you said, why do you seem to have a special understanding of Tengda's situation?"

Although he didn't disclose the specific situation inside Tenda, his confident tone was as if he knew the inside story very well.

Li Yada was stunned for a moment: "...I also have a friend who works at Tenda, and I heard him talk about some internal things, especially the story of the development of "Back to the Shore"."

"Oh! Is that so! Can you tell me about it? I want to hear it too!" Yan Qi was instantly refreshed.

He used to work in Magic Capital before resigning to set up a studio and came to Jingzhou.

As far as he knows, Li Yada has been working in Jingzhou, and the entire Jingzhou game circle is not large. It is not surprising that she knows friends who work in Tengda.

The story of the development of "Back to the Shore" is too fascinating.

Li Yada had no choice but to nod his own words, "Okay, then I'll just say something."

"It is said that when "Back to the Shore" was developed, a demo was made, and the designer at that time went to show it to President Pei."

"President Pei hasn't even started playing yet, so let her triple the monster's attack power."

"And then President Pei got started."

"The original positioning of the game is high difficulty. The initial village mobs hit players with about 20% of their health. Everyone thinks this is already very high, but I didn't expect that it was directly changed to 60% by President Pei."

Yan Qi became interested in an instant: "So that's how the difficulty of "Back to the Shore" came from? Did President Pei change it temporarily after seeing the demo?"

"That's right, I remember that the initial mobs slashed the player with 80% blood?"

"And after that? Didn't Pei always play monsters around after one operation, and then felt that the difficulty was still too low, so he increased the damage again?"

Yan Qi has long watched a lot of videos of big bosses clearing the "Going Back to the Shore" without injury. As an old player himself, although it is difficult to clear the level without injury, it is still very easy to abuse the mobs in the novice village.

After all, the mobs in the novice village are slow, their moves are rigid, and the damage is high or high, but players who are a little more skilled will not be touched.

As a designer, Mr. Pei is not easy to play, at least he should be at the level of a veteran, right?

Li Yada shook his head: "Well... the result is similar to what you thought, but the process is not the same."

"As soon as Mr. Pei got started, the speed of light was killed twice by the mobs, and then he multiplied the mobs' damage by a multiple of 1.3."

Yan Qi was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

Is it okay for President Pei to be tortured by the blood of the little monster?

In this way, President Pei is still determined to make it more difficult for the mobs?

If you want to say that, it is true that President Pei's determination and courage are admirable.

Yan Qi asked himself, if he made a game and was killed by the novice village mobs as soon as he went out, he would definitely have to lower the difficulty.

Not only did he not lower the difficulty, but he also added damage to the mobs. This kind of thing is really impossible for ordinary people to do.

President Pei is indeed a genius.

The story Li Yada told did corroborate her previous statement from the side.

Although it sounds a bit bizarre, Yan Qi thinks Li Yada is quite reliable, and should not lie to himself.

"Well, I agree with you. Courage is indeed more important than ability. Courage is the first step in making a change."

"But the problem is that courage is not enough. Even if I want to innovate, I don't have a suitable direction."

After a moment of silence, Li Yada said, "Well..."

"Actually, there are certain rules and tricks."

The rules and tips she said were actually some game design concepts learned from President Pei.

Following a game master like President Pei and doing many successful projects, you will naturally have experience and gain.

At first, Li Yada was hesitant to reveal this idea to Yan Qi, would it be bad?

But on second thought, President Pei has never been a closed person.

In the old society, there was a saying of "teaching the apprentice to starve the master to death". Many craftsmen kept secrets, and some martial arts families also handed down kung fu from their families and never passed them on.

In the field of games, Mr. Pei has always had the attitude of "doing great things and helping the world".

For example, the poor road plan, such as the Chaolu game platform, and the expatriate Min Jingchao to develop games together with Tianhuo Studio...

President Pei has been working hard to influence the domestic game industry, changing the entire environment by himself.

A more reliable producer like Yan Qi should get a little help.

If it is President Pei, he will definitely give pointers.

Now that I am teaching on behalf of President Pei, it is nothing more than passing on the disciples again. It is all to practice the spirit of Tenda and to make the game environment better.

Besides, President Pei's design concept is relatively advanced, just like the inner strength method.

Whether Yan Qi can comprehend, and how much he can comprehend, depends on himself.
