Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Pei Qian dislikes words adventurous games old, but it is clear to his mind that another meaning of old is, stability!

Text adventure games are a fairly ancient, yet fairly robust, type of game that lasts forever.

Pei Huan has memories of his past life. He knows that "Parents of China" as an independent game is made in a manner similar to a text adventure game, and it is still a great success!

And Pei Qian doesn't allow this to happen.

So, he's totally going to throw away the text adventure game mode!

Pei Qian cleared his voice and continued:

“My idea is to do a 3D flow diagram. ”

“Exactly. It's a complex structure like the web. ”

“The grid on the flowchart is a room; the lines on the flowchart are a corridor. ”

“Players walking in the hallway is the process of choosing a branch of the flowchart; different rooms are the result of this choice! ”

“In each room there is a door to the hallway, representing different choices for the player. ”

“Can you understand me? ”

Everyone nodded and shook their heads unanimously.

No, I don't either!

In this description, most people can think up the form of the game.

Flow charts drawn with software such as visio are very common in games and in many industries.

It is mainly used to express some logical relationship and process flow.

For example, a program triggers from an initial condition, undergoes a series of determinations, and ultimately outputs a result.

Apparently, a flowchart is made up of countless text squares and diamonds, with many arrows connected between them.

Replace all the squares with a three-dimensional room, big and small, and all the arrows with a corridor, and the entire flow chart becomes a giant maze.

And the protagonist walks in this huge maze, and every door represents an option, and eventually ends up in an end-of-life room, which is the end of a game.

And what people don't understand is, what kind of game is this?

No, I haven't!

Don't say domestic, foreign countries have never heard of such games!

Is that okay?

So many good 3D models, so big a scene, and finally a game that just keeps walking?

It always feels... something's wrong!

But no one will question Pei Jian.

Don't you understand?

Just don't understand!

Is it possible for the average person to guess what President Bae is thinking?

Only Huang Sibao and Bao Xu can reluctantly guess President Pei's design intentions. Others, the road is too far apart!

Lu Mingliang knew this very well, so he took the little book and diligently recorded it.

Good thing General Pei said it in detail this time, you don't have to guess.

Just do exactly what President Bae says, you're right!

Lin Night raised his hand and said: "President Pei, I think this is quite a novel design! But the players just keep walking in there, don't they look a little bored? ”

Boring?

Boring is good!

That's what I want!

But this issue of late Lin reminded Pei Qian of another hidden danger.

Would this be… or not radical enough?

Simply boring, I'm afraid it won't have an absolute dissuasive effect on the player...

What if they love the feeling of choosing and are bored instead of happy?

Pei Huanmei's eyes dropped and he fell into contemplation.

“Got it.”

Bae Qian suddenly came up with a good idea: “We add a narrative to the game! ”

“Narrator?” Lin blinked late, some did not understand.

It's not uncommon to add a narrative to a game. But that was mostly in the opening CG.

If you add a narrative during the game, it can greatly affect your immersion.

Pei Huan smiled.

Why add a narrative?

It's about influencing players' immersion so they can't play!

Not only that, I also have to carry personal goods in the narrative, ruthlessly ridicule the players, make them angry, make them curse!

Make them feel insulted, so that they can give this game a bad rating, not recommend it, the reputation of the game is broken, it's not far from cold?

Imagine that whenever a player makes a choice, the system narratives ridicule the player...

A game that insults players!

It's sour!

A little bit of a skeleton player, probably a mouse drop, right?

Pei Huan coughed softly and explained: “Narrative is a way for us to interact with players. ”

“The players have been running around in there, and it's really boring, because he's the equivalent of an outsider, a bystander, who can easily lose interest. ”

“We use a narrative to communicate with him, for example, if he chooses an incorrect option that triggers the A narrative and chooses the correct option, it triggers the B narrative. ”

“This way, players get feedback every time they make a choice, and they don't feel lonely and bored! ”

Lin suddenly nodded.

It is indeed President Bae, such a good idea can come to mind!

What is a genius designer?

That's it!

Lin Late had to recall his experience at the Fire Studio.

In the Fire Studio, such discussion sessions are often held to brainstorm how some details of the game should be made.

But the atmosphere is completely different!

Because Zhou Twilight always asks: “Are there other games with similar practices? ”

If the answer is yes, then Zhou Shuiyan will analyze the success of the game and will only accept it if it succeeds.

If the answer is no, or if a game has done so and failed, the idea will be chopped off without hesitation.

This is not unusual, most gaming companies in the country do!

For the sake of consistency, most designers do not dare to make mistakes, but tend to learn from past cases.

So many games become uniform, as if they were engraved in a mold.

And General Bae's approach, Lin couldn't help admiring the evening.

Doesn't care if there is a success precedent, be the first person to eat a crab!

This pattern is several grades higher than the fire studio and Zhou Shuiyan!

Lin Xiao is even more convinced that Bai Qian is a genius designer, he didn't run!

As for Lu Mingliang, the only thing left to write down is his little book.

He was just a little unconscious and didn't understand why Pei Qian did it.

But he knows how many pounds he has. He will never raise any objections to it. Just do as President Bae says!

Successfully persuaded everyone, Pei Huan felt comfortable.

That feels good!

This project is completely in your hands!

“Three days to produce the design, the whole process within a week, all the art resources within two weeks, all right?” Pei Qian looked at Lu Mingliang.

Lu Mingliang nodded immediately: “Rest assured, President Bai, you will complete the task! ”

After that, he made up a few words: “Mr. Bae, if you can't finish, can you apply for overtime? ”

Overtime is a privilege enjoyed by good employees, and he is not sure if he is a good employee.

Pei Qian thought about it and nodded. “Yes, but no more than 9 pm. Although you are all young, you must also pay attention to your body. ”

“Yes!” Lu Mingliang was so moved.

This kind of human care, apart from Tenda, where else?

It's not all about Mr. Bae's brain, is it still human?
