Chapter 330: Speculate on the Standardized Process of Mr. Pei's Intentions

Ye Zhizhou looked at the items written in the notebook.

It feels like... Isn't this the reversal of all the directions we have finalized before?

It seems that apart from the "reverse" point, there is no other new ideas...

"Could this be Mr. Pei's exclusive secret to making successful games forever?"

"Summarize the characteristics of all conventional games on the market, and then deliberately do the opposite, so as to create an unprecedented freshness for players?"

"Uh……"

Ye Zhizhou felt that this idea was a bit outrageous. He felt that this was not only an insult to Mr. Pei, but also an insult to himself.

If you can succeed so easily, why do you still want to break your head every day for what kind of game you want to play?

But looking carefully at these points, Ye Zhizhou discovered a new problem.

After some points are reversed, the result is very outrageous.

For example, Mr. Pei asked to make an online horror game.

How to do this!

Playing horror games with two people, or even multiple people? Is that still scary?

There seems to be no such case in the market at all?

But then I thought again, maybe it is because there are no similar cases on the market that the game made is novel enough? In order to form enough topicality?

Ye Zhizhou unconsciously fell into the vortex of brain supplementation, and many thoughts kept circling in his mind, making him a little dizzy.

Wang Xiaobin was obviously dizzy too.

He felt that according to Mr. Pei's statement, this game could not be done at all.

Because I have never seen a similar game, how to do it?

"Boss Pei, can you give me some more hints?"

Pei Qian chuckled in his heart.

Give me some hints?

It is impossible to give hints, so you can realize it yourself, I can only wish for it if I lose the game.

Just as Pei Qian was about to refuse, Lin Wan spoke up.

"That's enough. Boss Pei has already set the general direction for us. The deep meaning of the game lies in these few tips."

"Based on the game experience of the past few days, think about it carefully. You must have the ability to think independently. Don't always be like a baby waiting to be fed, waiting for President Pei to feed the food to your mouth."

Pei Qian: "..."

Good job Director Lin!

Speak my heart.

Wang Xiaobin lowered his head, feeling a little ashamed.

That's right, Mr. Pei has already finalized the general direction. Could it be that we can't even handle these minor issues? That would be too sorry for my identity as a designer!

"Then let's think of new ideas." Wang Xiaobin and Ye Zhizhou returned to their respective workstations and started to get busy.

Pei Qian left Lin Wan behind and wanted to briefly talk about OTTO Technology.

Before that, Pei Qian had briefly told Lin Wan about his job arrangement for Changyou, but it was on the phone at that time, and the chat was relatively brief.

Now Pei Qian plans to spend a few minutes to communicate in depth.

After all, Lin Wan is the nominal director of OTTO Technology, and her rank is half a level higher than that of Chang You.

If Lin Wan completely let go of OTTO Technology, even if the mobile phone is smashed, Lin Wan will not feel too much frustration, let alone leave Tengda and go back to inherit the family business.

Pei Qian's ultimate goal is to let Lin Wan also make an "important contribution" to the development of OTTO technology, so that after the product fails, Lin Wan will also feel deeply that he is not the material, and with the help of Shangyang Games Lin Wan naturally felt disheartened due to her failure.

"About this Changyou, I know that there are many bad speculations about him in the society, especially in the industry, but..."

Pei Qian was a little worried. If Lin Wan and Chang You were at odds, and if the phone crashed and Lin Wan blamed Chang You, it would still not be able to accomplish her goal of letting her go back and inherit the family business.

Lin Wan shook her head slightly: "President Pei, you don't have to worry."

"Since he is the person you fancy, I believe he must have something special."

"Now is the era of the Internet, the era of information explosion, and the era of unprecedented scarcity of information."

"On the Internet, rumors can spread all over the world overnight; however, the voices to refute the rumors are also on the Internet, but no one cares."

"Similarly, on the Internet, 'dirty information' about a person can spread overnight. Many people think that they know a person after seeing something on the Internet."

"But the real him is covered up by the information on the Internet."

"Although I don't agree with many of my dad's views, he has always emphasized that the Internet is not omnipotent, and too much information may make people blind. I agree with this."

"I believe that since Mr. Pei chose Mr. Chang as the person in charge of OTTO Technology, he must have his own considerations."

"Since Mr. Pei trusts him, I'm sure I will too."

Pei Qian was speechless for a moment.

I haven't said anything yet, Lin Wan has already said all the good things.

"Well... of course this is the best."

"However, as a director, you are also indispensable in OTTO Technology. Don't regard yourself as an outsider."

Pei Qian was hinting at Lin Wan, asking her to get involved with the mobile phone more and increase her sense of participation appropriately.

In this way, when the mobile phone is broken, Lin Wan can naturally have the idea of ​​"taking the blame", and want to go back and inherit the family business.

Lin Wan nodded: "President Pei, don't worry, I will supervise them on the premise of not excessively interfering with the established development policy of OTTO Technology, to ensure that the general direction of their development is in line with the spirit of Tengda, and to fulfill their due responsibilities."

Pei Qian is very satisfied with this, and feels that his employees are fully cooperative, and all plans are under his control.

...

After watching Mr. Pei leave, Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin returned to their workstations and started scratching their heads.

too difficult!

Mr. Pei has given so many restrictions, how can this game be done?

The "online game" alone is difficult enough, not to mention the clear requirement that there should be no plot, no ghosts, and no strong weapon system.

Completely confused.

Before, the two of them did take over tasks from Mr. Pei, but the tasks were often very simple.

For example, Mr. Pei asked to cut off all the charging points in "Blood Song", and only keep the most basic one. Ye Zhizhou thought for a long time and came up with a "natural selection system".

This is because the game itself already has a very complete framework, and Ye Zhizhou is only making minor repairs on this framework.

It was the same with the mobile game version of "Blood War Song" later on. The basic structure has not changed, and it is still the familiar set of things, so it is handy to make.

But this time is different.

Horror games, stand-alone games, these are fields that everyone has never set foot in, and the direction given by Mr. Pei is very vague, so naturally he is a little bit blind.

As a last resort, the two still looked at Lin Wan.

In guessing Mr. Pei's intentions, everyone in Shangyang Games is a younger brother.

"Director Lin, please help me think about it, what kind of game does President Pei want us to make?"

Lin Wan casually pulled a chair from the side and sat down, pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm just a beginner when it comes to guessing Mr. Pei's intentions, and I'm still far behind some seniors."

"However, I did learn something from Bao Xu."

"I can share it with you."

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin hurriedly took out their notebooks and listened intently.

Here we come, here comes the point!

What is the core competitiveness of working in Tenda?

It's the ability to guess Mr. Pei's intentions!

As the helm of the entire Tenda Group, Mr. Pei has always been far-sighted and far-sighted, and at the same time has an exquisite grasp of the market and player psychology.

When Mr. Pei arranges tasks for everyone to make a game, he is often already confident about the final form of the game, market feedback, etc.

Therefore, whether this project can be done well depends on whether everyone understands Mr. Pei's intention deeply enough.

And now Director Lin is sharing with you the way to guess Mr. Pei's intentions, no doubt he is sharing a treasure!

Lin Wan recalled the days when she worked in Tenda's game department, and thought of Bao Xu's many interpretations of Mr. Pei. She had long wanted to summarize all these contents, and now she just had this opportunity.

"First of all, we must make sure that Mr. Pei's direction is absolutely correct, and we must complete it at all costs."

"You may think this statement is false, but this is the basis of all reasoning."

"You can regard the points given by Mr. Pei as self-evident absolute axioms, and use them as a basis for derivation."

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin felt a little dizzy, as if they had returned to their student days in philosophy class.

But this is also normal. If such an important idea is too easy to understand, then there will be problems.

The two listened carefully.

Lin Wan continued: "When making "Sea Fortress", Bao Xu started from the few axioms given by Mr. Pei, constantly negated the content that was incompatible with the axioms, kept adding content that matched the axioms, and finally perfected the The prototype of the entire game."

"Now, we can do the same."

"First of all, the first and most important point, this horror game will be an online game."

"The game elements of multiplayer networking are nothing more than cooperation and confrontation."

"Confrontation is divided into 'confrontation with the game' and 'confrontation with people'. Confrontation with the game is multiple players solving puzzles together, and confrontation with people is a repeatable gameplay of combat."

"Because Mr. Pei emphasized that there should be no plot, the way for two or more people to cooperate to solve puzzles is blocked."

"Therefore, the design direction naturally only leaves the repeatable gameplay of multiplayer cooperation and confrontation."

"It is similar to the mode of many board games. The time is controlled within ten minutes to two hours. Multiple players participate, each with different purposes, and there are game modes of cooperation and confrontation between each other."

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin nodded together.

After such an analysis, I feel much clearer!

In particular, clarifying the goal to a board game-like mode gave the two people a rough prototype of the game in their minds.

Lin Wan looked at them: "Try the rest."

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin looked at each other, it felt a bit like a teacher teaching a student to solve a problem, half of the solution was done, and the rest was left to the students to complete by themselves.

Ye Zhizhou thought about it and said, "No ghosts, at most lunatics. This is also a very important clue."

"It's hard to find examples of games. Can we turn our attention to movies?"
