Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Pei Qian looked at the others again, and everyone had different expressions.

Old Song and Cai Jiadong, two people who hadn't dealt much with Mr. Pei, had a little proud expression on their faces at this time.

They are responsible for the VR glasses and the "Animal Island" game respectively, and now that the finished product is out, they feel very proud and even can't wait to show off in front of Mr. Pei.

Even Mr. Pei will be very satisfied when he sees this kind of finished product, right?

As for Lin Wan, Ye Zhi Zhou and others, because they have worked with Mr. Pei many times, so their expressions are still relatively calm.

Because they all know very well, no matter how excellent the product or game is, there must be problems in the eyes of Mr. Pei, and it is impossible to be perfect.

Mr. Pei is bound to be able to judge from a higher dimension and see the flaws that people can't see!

Even if this product or game really reaches the point of perfection, it is not something that is particularly surprising for Mr. Pei, because it is all inevitably expected by Mr. Pei.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Pei Qian was silent.

At this point he was a little panicked, but could not show it at all.

The persona and image can not collapse!

Especially since Meng Chang is still looking at himself with such eyes, he can't show his fear in front of him!

Pei Qian nodded slightly: "Well, it's doing okay."

"However, I have two small changes to suggest, specific to change or not, you decide for yourselves."

Lin night instantly brightened up.

Sure enough, Mr. Pei still saw the problem and came to point it out!

She immediately nodded: "Mr. Pei, you say."

Pei Qian said after considering for a moment, "The first suggestion is the logo on the forehead guard position of this VR glasses."

"My idea is, in the middle of the logo on this forehead guard, draw a horizontal line through the entire logo."

The crowd all froze for a moment.

Especially the two people, Old Song and Cai Jiadong, were very confused.

What does this mean?

Talk to the manufacturer, change the pattern slightly, it is not difficult, after all, VR glasses have not yet entered the mass production stage.

And even into the mass production stage is no big problem, this hexagonal part is removable, this is the old Song to consider the future may be new models or with other IP out of the cooperation version, so this position may be printed other logo, do some detachable module design.

But the question is ...... what is the significance of this?

Pei Qian did not explain much, because his original idea can not say.

And he knew that even without explanation these people would naturally find a suitable explanation.

In fact, his original intention is very simple: metaphysics.

After Pei Qian saw the forehead protector of this VR glasses, especially this very flat hexagonal shape, reminding him of a certain anime's ninja forehead protector.

And in that anime, a horizontal line on the forehead protector, representing the ninja went terribly wrong, rebelled out of the original ninja village.

So, Pei Qian wants all the VR glasses to draw such a line, which is to imply that this product is destined to go terribly wrong, to fail, to betray Chihang Studio.

Only this world does not have a similar anime, so this stunt everyone can not get it.

Old Song took over a piece of paper, drew a sketch on it, and then examined it for a long time.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something: "Hey, after drawing a line like this, it seems to look better ah!"

"I see, this line changes the structure and layout of the forehead guard pattern to a certain extent. The logo of Chihang Studio is shown in the center of the hexagon, and the two sides of the logo appear empty, which doesn't seem to have too good a sense of interaction with the hexagonal forehead guard."

"But after this line is drawn, the entire hexagon and the LateLine Studio logo are connected into one, which looks more smooth!"

Lin Evening pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I think this can achieve a kind of novelty effect."

"Other companies are printing their own logos on their own products, this behavior is too common. In fact, in addition to certain companies with their own style, other companies, no matter how good the logo design, printed on the good can not see where."

"This draws a horizontal line, and other companies are completely distinguished from the practice, more revealing a unique personality!"

"The VR glasses were originally a product that transcended the times, and the VR glasses we developed made a lot of subversive designs that fit perfectly in the spiritual core!"

Ye Zhi Zhou and Wang Xiaobin have also expressed their feelings: "Wonderful!"

"Before the line was drawn, it was just an ordinary company logo printed on it, which was mediocre."

"But after the line was drawn, it was able to convey such a spiritual connotation that matched our studio, and this VR eye product, and also left a deep impression on the players!"

"This is probably the effect of drawing a dragon's eye, right? A true design master, with just a horizontal line, can also turn corruption into magic?"

The crowd tsked in amazement.

Even Meng Chang was a bit overcome.

He didn't think there was anything in adding a line, but after hearing everyone's analysis, it did make sense!

After adding this line, it not only enhances the aesthetics, but also increases the cultural connotation, it's simply the finishing touch!

Lin Evening hurriedly said, "Mr. Pei, what about the other suggestions?"

Pei Qian coughed lightly twice and continued on, afraid that this group of people would continue to brainstorm and brainstorm something remarkable.

"The second suggestion, I hope that among these small games can be slightly less to do some newbie guide."

This one is much more simple, brutal and purposeful.

Animal Island VR provides a new mode of game interaction, and the learning cost for players will definitely be high.

It's not like those endgames that make an FPS game where the player goes in and knows to shoot with the left button, aim with the right button, and press R to change bullets. These settings, after all, are the same in all FPS games.

But there is no VR game with high visibility and a wide range of players to set the operation standard for VR games, so after coming to "Animal Island VR", how to open the bow and arrow, how to throw the rod fishing, these operations players have to learn from scratch.

Pei Qian also does not expect a complete lack of novice guidelines to dissuade players all, that is impossible.

Because a bad game, the game may be judged by the system to become a half-finished product, when the settlement is not given how?

But slightly reduce some newbie guide, or can be.

Can dissuade a few players, dissuade a few players well, dissuade a not too little, dissuade a hundred thousand not too much.

Anyway, as long as you can dissuade the player, that is a good design.

This time, the crowd was even more confused.

This behavior is even more anti-common sense, because all game designers, when they first enter the industry, will understand one of the most basic design concepts: the more detailed and informative the newbie guide, the better.

Because you can never imagine what happens to players when they experience a new game.

People have different gaming IQs. Some people are naturally smart and know the game as soon as they start playing it, while others are so clueless at the newbie stage that they can't even do particularly simple operations.

Moreover, sometimes the player is not stupid, simply the brain circuit and the designer's brain circuit did not match, so they are stuck.

The game's player base is large enough, so there will inevitably be a few players with a strange brain circuit. Once they get stuck without adequate newbie guidance, they may be lost.

Therefore, the newbie guide will sometimes be made especially retarded, seemingly for three-year-old children, which can't be helped.

Lin night once again frowned and thought hard.

Suddenly, she felt a flash of light: "I get it!"

Pei Qian hurriedly raised his hand and interrupted her: "It's good to understand, no need to say it every time!"

Good guys, now misinterpret what I say are in-your-face misinterpretation, instantaneous misinterpretation, not even overnight, this is still okay?

How you like to interpret is your business, don't say it in front of me, to give me a problem, okay!

Lin night immediately understand: "Okay Pei."

"Uh ...... one more question."

"How about you give this glasses a name?"

Pei Qian a little speechless.

How come all the work of naming is now given to me?

He can't even remember how many names he has given.

But on second thought, it's okay, who made himself a name genius? And I can name it myself, but also to get a good luck.

"That's fine."

Pei Qian considered for a moment, the impression that most VR glasses are named with a separate English, and are are all have a certain meaning, so more forced.

A separate Chinese character is not bad, but Pei Qian does not quite want to overemphasize the domestic identity of these glasses, save to inspire people to support the psychology of national products. The English name, a little with the flow is good.

The names that others have come up with are similar to names like quest, index, rift.

"Then ...... call it Doubt."

Pei Qian's intention is that the success of the glasses is full of doubts, it is impossible to succeed.

And the word "doubt", with question or problem will have a neutral meaning, with doubt may be a little more negative.

It means completely uncertain, very unreliable.

Lin night nodded her head slightly.

Although she wasn't able to understand the deep meaning of the name very well right now, she would definitely figure it out afterwards.

"Anyway, thank you so much, Mr. Pei!"

"It's almost like setting the clouds to see the sun."

Pei Qian waved his hand, indicating that a mere trivial matter was not enough to worry about.

"Okay, I'll leave if there's nothing else."

After holding the scene, Pei Qian beckoned and took Meng Chang away.

Pei Qian's operation at the end completely shocked Lao Song and Cai Jiadong.

They had thought that the glasses and the game had been perfect, but it turned out that Mr. Pei had easily and comfortably identified the problem.

And it's not just some harmless little problem, but the kind of key problem that improves a lot after changing it!

This makes them can't help but feel, worthy of the Pei general!

Previously, they had been listening to people blowing Pei to gods and goddesses, and even a little less believe, but now it seems that the blowing is really not exaggerated at all!

Was shocked in addition to the two of them, there is also Meng Chang.

Originally, Meng Chang has been to see the funeral not too big mentality to look at Pei, the result is now, he has completely afraid to make a move.

The first suggestion is needless to say, the crowd present has given the answer.

The second suggestion, although there is no clear explanation, but judging from Lin night's expression, it is also obvious that the game has a huge improvement effect.

After coming out and looking around at no one, Meng Chang curiously asked, "Mr. Pei, are you really so confident?"

"Think the reverse publicity program will definitely be successful, so even if you mention suggestions and improve the product in passing, it won't have any effect on the publicity program?"

Pei Qian's heart said huh.

Which one of your eyes can see that I am making suggestions and improving the product?

The two suggestions I made are trying to make next month's publicity program less difficult, okay?

Only a little deviation in their understanding is ......

But this kind of thing, also can not explain, can only silently do not speak, refused to answer.

Seeing Pei's profound expression, Meng Chang was more sure of his suspicions.

Sure enough, Pei always wants to use reverse propaganda to prove to me, but also to make the VR glasses and games explode normally to make money ah!

If the game sales are poor in order to prove that reverse propaganda is feasible, it is obviously also a great loss for Pei.

Only both to complete the purpose of reverse publicity, VR glasses and games and make a lot of money, that is the ultimate goal of Mr. Pei!

But ...... this can really be done?

Let's not say stick to a month, Meng Chang think stick to two weeks are not possible at all.

But look at Pei's general planning, obviously did not take this matter as a problem.

Sure enough, the previous feeling that Pei is very difficult, that is a complete illusion.

Or honestly on the side to see Pei's operation!

......

When Pei left, Cai asked, "Why did Pei tell us to do less newbie guide ah? This seems ...... a bit out of line with common sense ah."

Ye Zhi Zhou and Wang Xiaobin looked at each other and then looked at Lin Evening, "We do have some ideas, but they may not be comprehensive."

Lin Evening nodded: "Then it's better for me to say it."

"Considering that many players are playing VR games for the first time, they are not sure how VR games should be operated, so they have to do more novice guidance, which is something that designers generally think about."

"But how can Pei be a general designer?"

"It must have thought of a higher layer!"

"When Mr. Pei said this, he certainly didn't mean that we should give up the newbie guide and discourage players."

"What Mr. Pei means is that he wants us to cut out those complicated steps while completing the newbie guide, so that the whole process is more smooth, concise and natural!"

"The best newbie guide is not to tell players how they should go about it with large paragraphs of text or voice, but should let players use common sense to judge immediately the moment they see something and know how they should use it!"

"For example, put a few raw apples on the far side of the fire, and then put a few cooked apples next to the fire. No need to tell the player that 'the fire can bake apples', the player will immediately understand this game mechanic as soon as he sees the scene."

"It's the same with Animal Island VR. If we use interrupted speech or text to teach the player, it's tedious, for one thing, and it makes the player feel more out of place."

"If we use a more natural way to guide the player, it's both concise and allows the player to learn these actions naturally as they experience the fun of the game. The key thing is that this teaching method is also more able to show the superiority of VR games!"

"Take archery, if on the computer game, press which key will open the bow and arrow depends entirely on the designer's idea, the player is difficult to guess. Unless it is a lot of archery games fixed down with the right mouse button to shoot arrows, the players will form a memory."

"But in VR games, there is no need to teach at all, players will naturally figure out how to open the bow with the left hand, build an arrow with the right hand, and shoot the arrow with the loose hand."

"So, we should abandon those tedious instructions and use a more clever way to guide players."

"For example, find ways to let the player see the bow feathers he carries on his back and extends to his right shoulder, suggesting that he can draw arrows directly from the right shoulder position; let some small animal that can hunt make hunting movements to guide the player to make similar operations."

"The guidance is cleverly integrated into the game content, so that the player can naturally feel and think about how to do it, doesn't it also bring the player a great sense of accomplishment?"

Cai Jiadong suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"

"When you change a game mode, the way of newbie guidance should naturally be changed as well."

"This idea of Mr. Pei is the result of considering the special form of VR games and thinking about the problem from a higher level!"

Old Song also couldn't help but nod his head.

Although he didn't know game design, but hearing Lin Evening say so, he immediately felt that Mr. Pei was too good.

"But ......"

"The name Doubt, I don't really like it. It's not a particularly good word ah."

As the project manager of the VR glasses, and the person who actually designed and developed the glasses, Lao Song was slightly dissatisfied with the name.

Lin Evening said, "Mr. Pei must have some special meaning in the name."

"At present, people feel that this name is not good, mainly because the meaning has not been revealed and a special aura of humanity has not been given to this name."

"When the real meaning of Mr. Pei is revealed, this name will definitely make a deep impression!"
