Pei Qian dislikes the old-fashioned text adventure games, but he is very clear in his heart that another meaning of the old-fashioned is stability!
Text-adventure games are a fairly old, but fairly solid genre of games that have been around for a long time.
Pei Qian has memories of his previous life. He knows that "Chinese Parents", as an independent game, adopts a production method similar to text adventure games, and it is still a great success!
And Pei Qian didn't allow this to happen.
Therefore, he wants to completely abandon the text adventure game mode!
Pei Qian cleared his throat and continued:
"My idea is to make a three-dimensional flow chart."
"Yes, it's a complex structure like a spider's web."
"The grids on the flowchart are rooms one by one; and the lines on the flowchart are corridors."
"When players walk in the corridor, it is the process of choosing a branch of the flowchart; and different rooms are the result of this choice!"
"In each room there are doors leading to corridors, representing different options for the player."
"Can you understand what I mean?"
Everyone nodded and shook their heads in unison.
understand, do not understand!
With Pei Qian's description, most people can make up the shape of the game.
Flowcharts drawn by software such as visio are very common in games and many industries.
It is mainly used to express a certain logical relationship and program flow.
For example, a program is triggered from an initial condition, goes through a series of judgments, and finally outputs a result.
From the appearance, the flowchart is composed of countless squares and diamonds with text written on them, and there are many arrows connecting these squares.
Replace all squares with three-dimensional, large and small rooms, and replace all arrows with corridors, and the entire flowchart becomes a huge maze.
And the protagonist walks in this huge maze, each door represents a certain choice, and finally walks to an end room, which is a certain ending of the game.
What people don't understand is, what kind of game is this
Haven't seen it!
Not to mention domestic, foreign countries have never heard of this kind of game!
Can it work
Make so many sophisticated 3D models, make such a big scene, and finally make a game that can only keep walking
It always feels like... as if something is not right!
However, no one would question Pei Qian.
don't know
It's right not to understand!
How can Mr. Pei's thinking be guessed by ordinary people
Only Huang Sibo and Bao Xu can barely guess President Pei's design intentions, and the others are too far behind!
Lu Mingliang knew this very well, so he took a small notebook and desperately recorded it.
Fortunately, President Pei said it in great detail this time, so there is no need to guess.
As long as you strictly follow what President Pei said, you are right!
Lin Wan raised her hand and said, "Mr. Pei, I think this is a fairly novel design! However, players just keep walking in here, will it be a little boring?"
boring
It's good to be bored!
This is the effect I want!
But Lin Wan's question made Pei Qian think of another hidden danger.
Would it be... or not aggressive enough
If it's just boring, I'm afraid it won't have an absolute persuasive effect on the player...
What if they liked the feeling of making choices so much that they held back their boredom, but were reluctant to think about it
Pei Qian lowered his eyebrows and fell into contemplation.
"There is."
Pei Qian suddenly thought of a good idea: "Let's add narration to the game!"
"Narrator?" Lin Wan blinked, somewhat incomprehensible.
It is not uncommon to add narration in the game. But that was mainly in the opening CG Riga.
If you add narration during the game, it will greatly affect the immersion.
Pei Qian chuckled.
Why add a narration
It is to affect the player's immersion and make them unable to play!
Not only that, but I will also include private goods in the narration, taunt players mercilessly, make them angry, and make them curse!
Make them feel that their personality has been insulted, so that they will give this game a bad review, not recommend it, and the game's reputation will collapse, isn't it not far from Liangliang
Just imagine, every time the player makes a choice, the system narrator will sneer at the player...
A game that abuses players!
Sour!
Players with a little bit of backbone should drop the mouse, right
Pei Qian coughed twice and explained, "Narration is a way for us to interact with players."
"Players are running around all the time, it's really boring, because he's an outsider, a bystander, and it's easy to lose interest."
"We use narration to communicate with him. For example, if he chooses a wrong option, narration A will be triggered, and if he chooses the correct option, narration will be triggered."
"In this way, players will have feedback every time they make a choice, so they won't feel lonely and bored!"
Lin Wan suddenly nodded and nodded.
As expected of President Pei, such a good idea can be thought of!
What is a genius designer
This is!
Lin Wan couldn't help but recall his experience in Tianhuo Studio.
In Tianhuo Studio, such discussion meetings are often held, and some details of the game should be finalized by brainstorming.
However, the atmosphere is completely different!
Because Zhou Muyan would always ask: "Is there any other games with similar practices?"
If the answer is yes, then Zhou Muyan will analyze whether the game's approach is successful, and only if it is successful will it be adopted.
If the answer is no, or if a game has done this and failed, then the idea will be cut without hesitation.
This is not an isolated case. Most game companies in China do this!
In order to be safe, most designers dare not try and make mistakes, but tend to learn from past cases.
Therefore, many games will become cookie-cutter, as if carved out of a mold.
And Mr. Pei's actions made Lin Wanqing couldn't help but admire him.
I don't care if there are any successful precedents at all, I have the courage to be the first person to eat crabs!
This pattern is simply several grades higher than that of Tianhuo Studio and Zhou Muyan!
Lin Wan is even more convinced that Pei Qian is a talented designer and didn't run away!
As for Lu Mingliang, he could only record with a small notebook.
He was just a little ignorant and didn't understand why Pei Qian did this.
But he is very clear about how much he has, and he will never raise any objection to this, just do everything according to what President Pei said!
Having successfully persuaded everyone, Pei Qian felt at ease.
This feeling is so good!
This project is completely under my control!
"The design draft will be produced in three days, the whole process will be produced within a week, and all the art resources will be produced within two weeks. Is there any problem?" Pei Qian looked at Lu Mingliang.
Lu Mingliang nodded immediately: "Don't worry, President Pei, make sure to complete the task!"
After finishing speaking, he added a little guilty: "Mr. Pei, if you can't finish it, can you apply for overtime?"
Overtime is a privilege only excellent employees can enjoy. He is not sure whether he is an excellent employee in President Pei's mind.
Pei Qian thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, but no more than 9 o'clock in the evening. Although you are all still young, you must pay attention to your health."
"Yes!" Lu Mingliang was simply moved.
Apart from Tengda, where else is there such human concern
This is not for President Pei's liver and brain, is that still human!
