Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

On Sunday, 9 October, the shift to work normally took place.

Feihuang Studio, Huang Sibao rushed around.

Hu Xianbin was also at Feihuang Studios, and was in the same hurry as him.

I can't think of anything!

President Pei left yesterday after the assignment of the new game. From yesterday until now, the two of them didn't have any eyebrows in mind.

I have some ideas, but I'm not sure if this is what Pei always wanted.

It has to be said that President Pei's mission is too difficult this time, it is higher than any other time before, and the strength of just one or two people is completely unworkable.

Hu Xianbin is also here because although the two of them are responsible for the game plot and the movie plot respectively, they are actually one thing and have to come out together.

If you are in charge of the game, and you are in charge of the movie, but you do not communicate well and do things differently, this will certainly not succeed in the end.

Huang Sibao looked at the watch: “It's almost time. ”

As soon as the voice went down, I heard a lot of people outside the Flying Huang studio chatting and joking and walking towards the office area.

Huang Sibao's eyes lit up, the rescue troops are here!

This time the formation is extremely luxurious.

In addition to the original Huang Sibao, Hu Xianbin and Zhu Xiaozhi, Bao Xu, Lu Mingliang, Li Yada, Lin Night and Ma Yi are here!

This formation, arguably the most luxurious of Tenda Group's gaming divisions.

This includes not only the four-generation master planning of Tenda games, but also Zhu Xiaozhi, Bao Xu, Lin Night, Ma Group and other professionals in film, games, novels and other fields.

These eight people can be said to represent the highest level of the entire Tenda cultural industry, and they are all good players in answering General Pei's spirit.

If you can't fight alone, you'll have to scream for someone to join you!

Huang Sibao had already arranged a meeting room to greet everyone and arrange for tea to be poured.

“Sit down, everyone. We have a very tight day ahead of us, and one day we have to finalize a rough plan for a new game and a new movie! Let's try to build on Tenda's spirit and get the job done without overtime. ”

Huang Sibao prompted people to sit at the table.

He is the head of Feihuang Studios and the first generation master of Tenda Games. He has the highest qualifications of all and has crossed both the gaming and film industries, so it is most appropriate for him to take the lead in this project.

These people are familiar with each other, so there will be no hassle, sitting around the conference table, drinking tea, and expressions on their faces.

Lu Mingliang's expression is the most mysterious of all, he looked at the scene today and was a little confused: “Brother Huang, today, this seems to have nothing to do with counterwind logistics? Then why are you here? ”

"You were also the master planner of Tenda's gaming department, of course you're coming! ”

“This game that President Pei is going to give too little information, I can't really guess President Pei's true intentions, so I can only turn to everyone. ”

“Each of us may have just been responsible for some of Bae's projects. Games and movies are good. We have only learned a part of Bae's spirit. Knowledge is complementary. ”

“So for this game, we have to work together! ”

“I've sorted out President Pei's request. Let's take a closer look. Ten minutes later, we'll start brainstorming. ”

Huang Sibao sent everyone a piece of paper clearly stating President Pei's requirements for the game Destiny and Choice.

Everyone looked carefully at President Pei's request and raised their eyebrows.

Difficult to understand!

All of these people have more or less answered the puzzle arranged by General Pei, but it is undeniable that this time the puzzle is the hardest.

Because this time, not only did President Pei put forward a number of design requirements that seemed totally unreasonable, but these contents were also looped together to move the whole body together.

If it's just one or two unreasonable requests, it's a good answer;

But if there are seventy-eight or more seemingly unreasonable requirements, a solution must be found that meets all the requirements.

If you don't do anything right, you may lose millimetres and miles!

Ten minutes later, Huang Sibo raised his head: "Well, time is running out, let's start with a brainstorm for an hour, give each other some inspiration, and then continue thinking. ”

“Let me start by saying what I think. ”

“Following the standard analytical steps, the first step must be to find the irrationality of these requirements and to analyse in depth the underlying design philosophy behind them. ”

“There may be multiple answers to every irrationality, and we need to combine this information to find the only correct solution. ”

“First of all, I think this is definitely a winning game, and I don't suppose anyone would object to that. Movie investment is more than investment in the game itself, and the requirement to reach more than one and a half hours suggests that the weight of the plot is perfectly equal to, and even exceeds, the game itself. ”

“So I was wondering if it could be dramatically used as a breakthrough. ”

“Do you have any good ideas about the plot?” Huang Sibao looked at Zhu Xiaozhi and Ma group.

A group of horses themselves are also from the gaming industry and have an understanding of both the game and the plot, so they also participated in this discussion.

He thought about it and said, "The plot does take up a lot of weight, but the plot also serves the play. ”

“If it's just the theme of 'Resisting Bugs, Defending Home', it's too broad, and we assume that the chances of General Pei's real ideas are essentially nil. ”

“We still have to find a way to break through. ”

“As can be seen from the" Struggle "game, although President Pei has worked hard on the plot, he is not pursuing a simple plot, he is more pursuing the unification of the plot and play, that is, the practice of 'breaking down the dimensional wall’, so that the plot will not only be an extension of the play, but also merge at a higher level. ”

Huang Sibo thought, "Well, that's right. ”

"From the point of view of the players, I think it's interesting that President Pei has these two requirements: the game is very unbalanced and some units don't listen to directions. This should serve as an entry point for play. ”

“Bao, you are also a senior player in RTS games, don't you think? ”

Bao Xu touched his chin and thought: “These two points are obviously fatal flaws for regular RTS games. Uneven, and too many uncertainties, completely dissolve the competitive nature of the game. ”

“What does it bring to dissolve competitiveness...”

Lin Night: “Bring better entertainment?... doesn't seem right either, because for most RTS players, RTS games are as competitive as entertainment. ”

Bao Xu thought seriously and said: “I think it should be authenticity. ”

“Humans and insects are inherently unbalanced. In most films and television works, insects dominate in the face of humans. ”

“It is obviously a nightmare for humans that insects thrive very quickly, follow orders completely, and revive without paying attention. ”

“Combined with the fact that 'the soldiers have their own ideas’, President Pei obviously wants us to make people weaker and make the insects stronger, so that we can highlight a reality! ”

“Players feel unfair when they use humans against insects, which is more authentic than that absolutely balanced RTS game. ”

“For this authenticity, President Pei would rather give up the competitiveness and balance of the RTS game, which should be a key point. ”

Lin Jie suddenly said: “Got it! In other words, game mechanisms make the gap between people and insects clearer. This should have something to do with the plot! ”

Huang Sibo nodded: “Well, that's a very critical point. So, did President Pei specifically ask that the game be simple and related to this? ”

Bao Xu frowned slightly: “Seems... it's okay. Games, whether simple or difficult, can imbalance the two races. ”

Everyone was caught in brief silence.

Because “seemingly okay” often does not mean "really okay”, but “relevant but not obvious”.

Lu Mingliang thought about it and said: “I think this should be related to the ‘focus' of General Pei's consideration. ”

“This is how I feel when I'm a Game Maker. ”

“He would be willing to spend a lot of money expressing what Bae always wanted to say in the most exaggerated way. Just as" Game Maker "clearly can be a text adventure game, President Pei makes every choice into a 3D scene;" Struggle "also takes a lot of effort to make interactive movie games. ”

“These two games can reduce investment tenfold or even more if they are word-adventurous, but President Pei is willing to invest heavily to make the key content he wants to express stand out enough. ”

“And for some less important content, Pei can always delete it or delete it or keep it brief, to minimize disruption to the player. ”

“Now that Destiny and Choice has decided not to be competitive, but to embody authenticity and highlight the drama, is the operation still important? Doesn't matter. ”

“Operation, for competitiveness. ”

“The significance of simplifying operations and weakening tactics in the war is that players have more time to think and prepare for pre-war tactics. ”

“That should be the point Bae always wanted to make. ”

Huang Sibo hastily wrote it down: “That makes sense! ”

“A balanced RTS game requires spelling. What else does an unbalanced RTS game spell? After players don't need a lot of action, free time can do more pre-war tactics. ”

“But…”

“Traditional RTS games‘ Collection-Build-Combation ’mode, where combat accounts for at least 60% of game fun. If the operational experience of combat is reduced, I'm afraid it's a huge weakening to the gameplay experience. ”

Bao Xu thought about it and said, "So we should make the collection and construction system more complex, so that the players spend most of their time and energy on these two links. ”

“Especially pre-war tactics, players must think carefully when making every choice. ”

Riyadha agrees deeply: "Yes, it's like eliminating games. Initial elimination games were spelling speed, carding time, and later elimination games became time limitless, carding steps, demanding even points. ”

“The latter requires more thinking, more fun and more in line with the game habits of today's players. ”

“Obviously, President Bae is not simply trying to replicate the success of Star Sea, but exploring a new RTS game mode! ”

“Real-time, strategic games, but also fun for most poorly operated players. ”
