Chapter 1303 Tenda's Designers Are Everyone

Yan Qi couldn't help frowning slightly: "Rule and trick?"

He is very puzzling. I have been in the game industry for so many years, why haven't I heard of such a thing?

The game industry is the same as novels and movies. Strictly speaking, it is a creative industry, and creativity is very important.

As for creativity, what are the rules and knocks at the door? Isn't it all about a flash of inspiration?

If the ideas can be copied in batches, then the creation of the cultural industry will be simpler.

The fact is that there is always no shortage of labor, and ideas are always scarce and cannot be replicated.

Therefore, in the game industry, those real game design giants are highly respected.

This is their scarcity and irreplaceability.

Therefore, Yan Qi instinctively did not believe Li Yada's words.

Li Yada saw Yan Qi's suspicion and knew that his suspicion was actually normal.

Most outside designers, before they cooperate with President Pei, will feel that creativity depends on a slap on the forehead, a flash of inspiration, and it is entirely by luck.

But any designer brought out by President Pei will change the perspective of looking at the problem.

It's true that ideas cannot be mass-produced, but that doesn't mean there are no rules and tricks.

President Pei's design method is actually to look at the problem from a different perspective on the premise of conforming to the rules of game design.

Combined with rich experience, strong game design capabilities and precise control of players' mentality, a miracle occurs.

Li Yada knew that if he told Yan Qi directly, he would definitely not believe it.

After all, Li Yada's current character is an ordinary employee of the Chaolu game platform, and his words are not convincing.

We can only continue to ask the "friend who works at Tenda" for help.

Li Yada pushed his glasses: "Actually, this is what I heard from a friend who works at Tenda. She has participated in Tenda's new game seminars and participated in the design process of several successful games."

"These rules and tips were summed up by herself based on President Pei's design process."

"Of course, this is not a secret inside Tenda. The designers in the game department basically understand it."

Yan Qi's expression changed instantly, from being suspicious just now, to looking forward to it.

Is this President Pei's design method?

That's right!

If others say that they have mastered the rules and tricks of game design, Yan Qi will definitely not believe it.

Because these people can't stably produce excellent games themselves, what convincing words are there?

It's like someone told you that he knows the stock market like the back of his hand, but when he asks carefully, his own income in the stock market is not as good as the interest on bank deposits. Isn't this a liar?

In the entire domestic game circle, Yan Qi only served one person, and that was President Pei.

Because President Pei is not only specialized in a certain type of game, but all-rounder.

All games are made, and they are all popular.

If President Pei has mastered the rules and tricks of game design, then Yan Qi believes it.

Because President Pei's achievements and contributions in this industry are enough to prove this.

"Sister Li, tell me quickly, what are the rules and tricks?" Yan Qi showed a strong curiosity.

Seeing Yan Qi's expression, Li Yada knew that the preparation was almost done.

Even if Yan Qi still doesn't believe it after listening to it, he will at least think about it carefully.

In this way, Li Yada's goal has been achieved, at least he won't play the piano to the cow.

"In Tenda, every time President Pei decides to make a new game, he will give some particularly unreasonable requirements, so that the designers can reproduce the whole picture of the game according to these requirements."

"The designers finally determined the final form of the game in President Pei's mind and designed it based on repeated thinking and deliberation on these requirements."

Yan Qi was stunned for a moment: "A particularly unreasonable request?"

Li Yada nodded: "Take "Back to the Shore" as an example, President Pei put forward five requirements: first, Chinese background, a large number of ancient puzzles and text content; second, super difficult; third, big scene action game; fourth, the longest refund time limit; fifth, the name of the game is "Back to the Shore"."

"After giving these requirements, President Pei didn't ask about the specific design of the game, but let the designers play freely."

"Just after the game demo was made, President Pei adjusted the numerical difficulty again and added the 'Purdue' weapon."

Speaking of this paragraph, Li Yada still remembers it.

When the project of "Going Back to the Shore" was first established, Lu Mingliang was still there, and Li Yada participated in this meeting as an ordinary designer.

At that time, after listening to Mr. Pei's several requirements, she was completely confused, and she couldn't think of the possibility of this game becoming popular.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for him to become the main designer and personally take over the game.

What I didn't expect was that now I came to the Chaolu game platform to use "Back to the Shore" as an example for Yan Qi to explain the method of President Pei's involvement.

Yan Qi frowned slightly, listened carefully, his expression was very serious, and he seemed unwilling to miss a word.

His brain was racing, thinking about the meaning behind the five requirements.

At that time, Lu Mingliang and Li Yada were dumbfounded. They didn't understand President Pei's design intention at all. They even continued to develop it in a daze. It was not until the game demo came out that they analyzed President Pei's design intention.

Although Yan Qi has not mastered the "standard analysis method of President Pei's intentions", he has played "Back to the Shore" and has also analyzed it in depth. He knows the details of this game and even a series of events when it was just released.

Comparing these requirements with the finished product is equivalent to reading the standard answer first and then reading the content of the question, which is naturally much easier to interpret than Li Yada at that time.

"The plot content written in Chinese background and ancient writing is to highlight the cultural connotation and maintain the label of 'domestic action game'; on the one hand, the super difficulty is to allow players to challenge themselves and make the game more recognizable, on the other hand, it is In order to break the dimensional wall..."

Yan Qi went through it from beginning to end, and found that President Pei's five requirements are really indispensable. From game design to initial publicity, they are all related.

After the demo came out, the difficulty adjustment and the addition of the weapon "Purdue" also played a finishing touch, making "Back to the Shore" from an excellent work to a masterpiece level.

But after the analysis, Yan Qi was even more puzzled.

"Sister Li, I can probably guess the reasons for these requirements."

"But... this is obviously that President Pei has planned the final form of the game from the beginning, right?"

"It can only be said that President Pei is a genius. It's too strong. The other designers of Tengda made these games based on President Pei's ideas."

"How can there be the 'rules and tricks' you just mentioned?"

Li Yada smiled slightly: "In the beginning, I also had the same idea as you."

"But after thinking about it carefully, I don't think so."

"I ask you two questions."

"First, Mr. Pei only made these few requirements, but he never asked about some details of the game design. So, how can Mr. Pei be sure that the game will be the same as what he expected after it is made?"

"Secondly, how did Pei always come up with these requirements?"

Yan Qi's expression was blank and lost in thought.

Yes, how can President Pei be sure that the game will be the same as he expected when it is made?

Yan Qi did deduce the intention of Mr. Pei's several conditions based on the finished product of the game "Back to the Shore", but that was equivalent to an afterthought.

In fact, starting from these conditions alone, the general direction is set, but there are many ways to do it in detail.

After President Pei gave these conditions, he didn't care. How did he know that the game would not go wrong?

There are only two explanations: first, he thinks that the designers are in the same mind with him, and they must be able to make the game he envisions through these conditions; second, he may feel that it doesn't matter how the details are done, as long as these few conditions are ensured. The main point is not deviated, so no matter what the details change, "Going Back to the Shore" is still "Going Back to the Shore".

Possibly, it's both.

What made Yan Qi more concerned was Li Yada's second question.

How did Pei always come up with these points?

It was definitely not created out of thin air with a slap on the forehead, there must be a source.

Suddenly, Yan Qi flashed: "You mean, these requirements are not only President Pei's control over the general direction of the game, but also the cornerstone of President Pei's design of this game, from which we can analyze President Pei source of inspiration?"

Li Yada nodded with a smile, quite satisfied with Yan Qi's understanding: "That's right."

The expression on Yan Qi's face was even more shocked.

The original production process of Tenda games is like this?

President Pei just gave a few requirements, and then the person in charge perfected the entire game according to these requirements.

And these few requirements are not only President Pei's control of the general direction of the game, but also the cornerstone of the game he deduced based on the source of inspiration.

Why does President Pei do this?

Obviously, on the one hand, it is to train and train the designers under his hands, so that they will not become tool people, but can become game design masters; on the other hand, because President Pei is busy with work, there are too many things to consider. Too much, and it's simply not realistic to design games hands-on.

It is no wonder that Tenda games are so productive, and it is no wonder that President Pei can produce various high-quality games so frequently while dealing with various industries.

It's all because of this very different development model from other game companies!

Yan Qi has always wondered before that he is also a producer, and Boss Pei is also a producer, why does Boss Pei only have one good game in a few months, and it keeps popping out, while he only makes one game, and he is exhausted and exhausted ?

Obviously, there is a huge difference between the two not only in design ability and management ability, but also in the most fundamental concept!

After confirming this, the next thing is even more critical.

Through reverse analysis of these requirements, which is the cornerstone of game design, we can analyze the source of President Pei's inspiration.

And this is exactly the "rules" and "tricks" that Li Yada emphasized before!
