Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Thinking about it this way, what Mr. Pei said was quite reasonable.

All the successful projects in the past were indeed not successful by 'seeking stability'.

In fact, no matter whether it was Tengda Game or觞 Yang Game, every time the game was made, it was a game that took great risks, but every time it was a great success.

On the other hand, the game companies out there are always striving for stability, putting the old games on sale as new games with small repairs and art resources for a change, always striving for stability and making money, but the response is often mediocre and sales are poor.

This is because seeking stability is a kind of stagnation.

At a time when other game manufacturers are seeking newness and change, seeking stability is tantamount to lagging behind others, and the once successful experience will soon become outdated.

Lin Chang was also respectful, although he didn't know much about the game industry, but it seemed that there was a profound philosophy in the words of General Manager Pei.

"Then what do you mean, Mr. Pei?" Lin Chang asked.

Pei Qian coughed twice and said, "In my opinion, the newer the company is, the more it has to forge ahead and innovate boldly."

"If a new company is thinking of sticking to the old ways and copying the previous successes at the beginning of its establishment, then it won't have the courage to innovate in the future, and will only get more and more sidetracked on the path of 'mixing'."

"So, no matter if it's at the Goblet Ocean Games or the Late Line Studio, how it should be designed is still how it should be designed, forget the fact that you're in a new company."

"It's the same as before, decide on the type of game first and take it step by step."

Lin Late nodded, "Well, in that case, there are actually still only a few directions to choose from. Since we don't do mobile games, then there's only standalone games and online games on the computer side."

"If we're going to challenge ourselves according to what Pei said, we should definitely try to make a single-player game on the level of Turning Back, Struggle, or Mission and Choice."

Pei Qian chanted for a moment, "Are these really the only paths we can take? You think again?"

It was good that Lin Evening didn't give an example, but this example brought up Pei Qian's sad past.

These three stand-alone games are more invested than one, but one also earns more than the other.

Although it is not enough to prove that this is a failed road, but Pei Qian does not want to go through it again in a short time.

So, we have to find another way to go.

Lin Evening showed a very confused expression: "Huh? But the game types are just these ah, the computer side is nothing more than the two main categories of stand-alone and online games, mobile games ......"

Pei Qian prompted, "Haven't you heard about the ...... VR game lately?"

Lin Chang and Lin Late were stunned and looked at each other, "VR game?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Evening said, "I've heard of it before, but ...... is still just a concept at the moment, right? Apart from some foreign manufacturers who have done individual exploratory and conceptual VR games, there's simply not much going on at the moment ......"

The company has been in the process of developing the newest and most popular game in the world.

The company has been in the process of developing the newest and most advanced products and services in the industry.

To summarize, VR technology in this world is a year or two faster than he remembers, and compared to the development of mobile phone technology in this world, VR technology is actually considered to be slow.

One of the more critical points about the VR technology is the birth of the first modern VR glasses device, in Pei Qian's memory, should be originally introduced in 2012 OculusRift, which is a crowdfunded 2.5 million dollars to make a VR glasses device, from this year, the public's interest in VR has only gradually ignited.

And according to Pei Qian's impression of the development, the VR craze did not really burn up until 2016, when devices from major manufacturers, such as HTCvive and PSVR, went on sale.

For this reason, 2016 was called the first year of VR gaming by many people.

Only in the development of the VR industry soon encountered a bottleneck, because of technical reasons the heat faded, but that is all later.

The current situation in this world is roughly equivalent to what Pei Qian remembers from around 2013 to 2014.

There are already companies abroad that have developed usable VR glasses through crowdfunding last year, but this product, not to mention in the country, has not attracted much attention abroad for the time being.

On the one hand, because the technology at this time there are still certain flaws, the resolution is relatively low, the resolution of the monocular only 640 * 800, the two eyes after the merger is also only 1280 * 800, gridded very obvious, in layman's terms is full screen mosaic, coarse pixels, motion tracking is also very poorly done.

On the other hand, it is because the current VR technology can provide support for too little content, both games and movies, there are not too many manufacturers to develop and shoot.

With empty equipment and no content, the vast majority of consumers naturally have no incentive to spend $300 to buy such a toy.

No company produces VR glasses, no company develops VR games, and not even a cheap alternative to the "cardboard box + mobile phone" VR solution.

The company's strategy is to make sure that the entire VR industry is developing at the right pace, and that it will take at least three more years to reach the kind of feverishness that characterized the "first year of VR.

Within these three years, the entire market is shrinking and the fever will not be high.

In addition, the prerequisite to play VR games is to buy a VR glasses, the price should be at least two or three thousand; and to experience large VR games smoothly, also need a high computer, may need at least six or seven thousand again.

This kind of investment is not acceptable to most players.

So, Pei Qian felt that engaging in VR games at this juncture should be foolproof!

Instead, it's really hard to tell if the situation will drag on for another two or three years.

Gotta take advantage of this critical point and hurry up to lose the money.

Lin Chang held his phone for a search and finally figured out roughly the current situation of the VR game.

"Mr. Pei, if you want to develop VR games, do you still have to work with these foreign VR glasses manufacturers?"

Pei Qian laughed, "What else is there to cooperate with? Why don't you just develop it yourself? Shenhua Group can make mobile phones and still can't make VR glasses?"

Lin Chang was stunned and thought about what seemed to be the case.

The VR glasses thing wasn't really that complicated of a technology, and it wouldn't be more difficult to make than a mobile phone. Shenhua Group not only made mobile phones, but also smart hardware, developing a VR goggle was not too difficult.

But he quickly reacted, the problem now wasn't even about technology or money ah!

Lin Chang said, "Mr. Pei, this seems too risky, doesn't it? There's no traditional game makers making VR games at all, and if we were to do it, there's not a lot of success stories to go off of, right?"

Pei Qian asked, "Since we are trying to innovate, what success stories do we need to reference?"

Lin Chang's mouth was slightly open and he was somewhat speechless for a while.

Lin Late said, "Don't interrupt yet, let Pei finish his thoughts on the whole project before you comment."

Lin Chang: "......"

Lin Evening is obviously seriously considering the feasibility of the VR game project, she said after a moment's consideration, "Then, Mr. Pei, what kind of VR game should we make? A first-person shooter? Interactive movie games? Or a simple strategy game should work too."

"If you consider the nature of VR devices, making a first-person shooter is definitely the best option, I guess."

VR does not have an advantage over computers in many aspects, such as resolution, operation, and dizziness, as the technology is still immature and needs to be resolved.

The only area where it has an advantage is immersion.

So, game types like shooters and interactive movie games will get a far superior experience to computer games when played in first-person. As for strategy games, it's a bit more reluctant, and you'll only be able to make games that are simple to play and not too complex. Although all of them were God's perspective, the VR mode would also be barely able to do it as it would look more impressive than the computer side.

Pei Qian fell silent for a short time.

If it was a first-person shooter, or an interactive movie game, it might be possible to make something famous.

Because first-person shooters could be aimed with a joystick, and with a great sense of immersion and a bit of horror atmosphere, it might be possible to make a masterpiece that would be blown away by gamers.
