Almighty Game Designer

Sun Bington continued: "Actually, as for the Gun Warfare Chronicle, ranking races are strictly one of the incentives for it to fail, and it should also be for this reason that the Watch Pioneer has never been ranked. However, the root cause is not in the rankings, but in the game capacity, which is already a consensus within our project. ”

“Due to its limited capacity, Watchpioneer's lack of rankings only lengthens the life of the game and cannot continue to develop until the entire FPS circle is unified across the country. Wolf Souls and Fire Raids, although older in play, clearly have a longer life span than Forward Watch. ”

“From this point of view, I don't think our new project can take the WatchPioneer road anymore, skilled FPS games don't work, and FPS games with ranking mode aren't particularly reliable. ”

Qin Xiao nodded slightly, agreeing.

It was true that a large number of games imitating "Watchtower" had appeared before, with the result that it was almost cold without exception, and had even spilled over into the entire FPS domain, depressing.

Now, if there were any designers who wanted to copy "Pioneer of the Watch," they'd be laughed at.

Sun Bing continued: “If we are going to do a new project, the most critical question is, where is the core competitiveness of this new project compared to the three major FPS games on the market today? I think that is the main issue that we need to consider today. ”

“From the standpoint of the FPS game masterpieces of the European and American factories, it basically goes in a more realistic and ambitious direction. More sophisticated firearms, accessories, more epic plots, richer battlefield carriers, etc..."

“But all of this requires a lot of investment and a lot of professionals. ”

Sun Bing finished.

He just described the current state of the domestic and foreign FPS gaming market, but the meaning was quite clear. Whether or not to do this project depends critically on the ability to make new ways of playing.

How do we do new things? If you look at the experience of big European and American factories, it is to increase investment and make more ambitious scenes.

Lin Zhaoxu gently tapped his fingers on the table and frowned slightly. Obviously, he disagreed with Sun Bing's thinking.

Lin Zhaoxu said: “This is also a thought. But the problem is not just in terms of money, but also in terms of accumulation. Although Wolf Souls has hunted some big war scenes, there is ultimately a gap with major European and American factories. And even if we make it, we have to consider the taste of domestic players. We can't let domestic players not buy the bill. Shall we go to overseas markets? And even in overseas markets, we can't beat those European and American manufacturers. ”

He looked at Qin Xiao: “What do you think? ”

Qin Xiao silenced for a moment and spread out the information before him: “To be honest, I don't particularly want to do a new FPS project, for a simple reason, there is no particularly revolutionary technological progress at the moment. ”

“The Pangu engine is indeed a timeless physical engine, but in FPS games it may not be possible to be that prominent. All you have to do is make the force of being shot more real, and the effect of being shot more realistic. ”

“These feelings are less pronounced for players. That's why Chen Qiao went to Cold Weapon Combat, just because Cold Weapon Combat might feel more intuitive. ”

“On the other hand, there are currently no revolutionary ways to play FPS games, such as unpacking, cerebral synapses, special gun fights, zombie fights. Though the Watchpioneer trolley and spot play look fresh, it's only interesting to pair with the Watchpioneer hero trait. Forced to put it in a regular FPS game, it's definitely not going to be fun. ”

Lin Zhaoxu shrugged: “You mean, try not to do it? ”

Qin Xiao said: “Do what you can, but take some risks. ”

Lin Zhaoxu laughed: “It's okay to risk it. Tell me what you think. ”

Qin Xiao thought about it and said seriously: “My idea is actually somewhat similar to Sun Bing's, which is to add more big scenes and modern weapons, such as more artillery, tanks and planes, to the more traditional FPS like Wolf Soul. ”

“Of course, it's risky, but our goal is not to compete with European and American manufacturers, and our goal is mainly domestic. Just add a few aircraft tank cannons and it's better than Fire Assault. ”

“In addition, these modern weapons are actually more representative of the role of Pangu engines. For example, shells explode on the ground, leaving holes in the ground, while causing shock waves to bounce off players, shell fragments causing damage to players, etc., can serve as a stunt to the game. ”

Lin Zhaoxu thought about it: “Well... that sounds good. That is, just make some improvements and optimizations to the current traditional game mode, add content, and focus on the effects of the physics engine, rather than go to the European and American factories as a whole. ”

Qin Xiao nodded: “Yes. It's impractical to learn about big European and American factories. On the one hand, we don't have enough skills, and on the other hand, domestic players don't really have to eat that. At least for now, the vast majority of players in Wolf Soul are just for sudden rejuvenation, and there is basically no dramatic need for FPS games. ”

Lin Zhaoxu nodded, apparently more in agreement with Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao's program is equivalent to a compromise, based on "Wolf Soul", add bigger maps, richer guns, carriers and modern weapons, while still using networked warfare as the main method to adapt to the tastes of domestic players as much as possible.

Although there is still a slight risk, it is clear that the stunt is sufficient and worth trying.

Lin Zhaoxu thought for a moment: “Okay, then tentatively this plan. Qin Xiao, take charge yourself. ”

Qin Xiao nodded: “No problem. ”

Lin Zhaoxu was well aware that Qin Xiao's scheme, although it had some risks, was completely within the control range. Even if the game could not be fired, it should not be difficult to guarantee profit.

After all, they consider mainly domestic markets, rivals being the Burning Fire and the Pioneer of Watch.

Lin Zhaoxu looked at Jin Jie Guang: “Also, pay more attention to the movement of zen mutual entertainment and thunder mutual entertainment. They should also have been notified by the JC. Especially on Chen Yu's side, pay close attention. ”

Jinjie nodded. “Don't worry, President Lin! ”

Qin Xiao said: “It's okay, don't worry too much. When it comes to funding and FPS, it's obvious we're better off. Besides, Pioneer of the Watch has not been very successful, which suggests that innovation in the field of FPS is actually difficult. In the traditional FPS field, we have data on a large number of Wolf Souls players, and we have an absolute advantage in this regard. ”

Sun Bing nodded as well: "Yes, I think Chen Qiao's" Watch Pioneer "is really an important attempt in the FPS field, but the results are not optimistic. He won't be able to think of anything new in the short term, will he? ”
