Chapter 1166 'Safe and Civilized Driving' (1/2 for Xiao Yunduo)
Pei Qian nodded slightly.
After this brainstorming session, he was still very inspired.
In order to avoid making the mistake of "Sea Fortress" again, the operating threshold must not be lowered, but raised, and raised again, to ensure that this game is difficult and niche.
But we also need to pay attention to another issue, try not to have anything to do with difficult competitions in reality.
It's best not to touch subjects like F1 or rally racing.
Because racing is a very expensive sport, but it is very popular all over the world. Players who don’t have money to run on the track will naturally choose to experience it in the game.
It is best to choose content that ordinary people experience regularly.
What is the content?
Driving in the city of course!
At present, there are two most popular racing games. One is rally games, which are hard-core but fully restore the experience of high-end events; the other is to lower the game threshold and turn off car damage, allowing players to
You can freely drive into the city and rampage.
After all, most people are already troubled by obeying traffic regulations when driving to and from get off work. They have to worry all the time about not speeding, not running red lights, and not getting stickers. A small scratch may cost hundreds of dollars to touch up the paint. Trembling.
When you get home from get off work and drive in the game, of course you have to drive around casually and crash!
Driving on the wrong side of the road, rear-ending, and running red lights are all commonplace.
Pei Qian thought, if he could combine these two game types, learn from each other's weaknesses and complement each other's strengths, and combine the content that players least like, wouldn't it be great?
Thinking of this, Pei Qian coughed lightly and said, "I have two directions. You can refer to them for reference."
Everyone temporarily stopped brainstorming and looked over, with expressions of great admiration on their faces.
Sure enough, the rank gap between us and Mr. Pei is still too big!
How long has this brainstorming been going on? Everyone is still just discussing it without any ideas. Mr. Pei has already chosen the direction for the new game?
Good ideas come to you at your fingertips. Is this a genius game producer?
Everyone listened carefully.
Pei Qian coughed twice, collected his thoughts for a while, and then said: "First of all, we want to make a fully realistic racing game, or in other words, a driving simulation game."
"We are going to invest heavily to create an extremely realistic physics engine for the game."
"Each vehicle must be modeled separately. The chassis, AB pillars, body materials, etc. of different vehicles will have different data based on the actual situation to ensure that the results after the impact of each vehicle are different and different from those of the same vehicle.
The crash results of this car in reality are exactly the same.”
"Others, such as the car's horsepower, driving feel, tire grip, etc., must also be consistent with real-life data."
"When players use the steering wheel to experience the game, they must be infinitely close to real-life driving."
On the one hand, this is to spend more research funds, and on the other hand, it is also to dissuade players more.
Splitting the car into many different parts, each with different data, would be a huge workload and much more troublesome than sharing a physical collision system for all cars.
The damage to vehicles is different in different collisions, which can increase the player's losses.
For example, in many games, vehicles hit at more than 100 speeds per hour, and the front of the car is dented, but it can still continue to drive.
But in the game Pei Qian envisioned, the car would be completely destroyed if hit at this speed.
"Secondly, the game has a car damage system that cannot be turned off. If a player crashes a car or suffers a small scratch in the game, he must deal with it according to the real-life situation."
"If you hit a car, you need to repair it. If you get a scratch, you need to touch up the paint. If you bump into someone else's car, you need to be held responsible and compensate in full."
"And after the collision, the driver in the car will also be injured and need to be hospitalized and pay medical bills."
"Finally... we can consider developing a steering wheel for this game and let Outu Technology do it."
After saying that, Pei Qian felt that he was a little too much.
What kind of racing game is this? It’s completely a driving simulator!
Moreover, it is a driving simulator that simulates all the unpleasant content.
There are many inconvenient places in the game, which are exactly the same as in reality. You must drive carefully and cautiously.
But what about the thrill of this game? It can’t be compared to driving in reality.
After all, when driving in reality, you can feel the vibration of the car body, feel the G force, and have a very wide field of vision. This experience is multi-dimensional.
But when driving in this game, you can only stare at the screen. Most players can only use keyboard and controller to control the car, and the sense of immersion is far behind.
It’s just as troublesome as driving in reality, and the overall experience is inferior. Who can play this?
And in reality, driving is no longer a particularly high threshold. Most families with better economic conditions own cars.
Many office workers are tired of driving to and from get off work on a daily basis. After returning home, they continue to drive in the game and still have to abide by traffic regulations?
What kind of spirit is this? How addicted does it take for someone to do such a thing?
To get a better gaming experience, you have to buy a steering wheel. But the steering wheel is not cheap. An entry-level steering wheel that is a little more fun costs one or two thousand, and a better entry-level steering wheel costs more than three thousand. Some higher-end steering wheels cost more than three thousand.
The steering wheel is more expensive.
Add in various other accessories such as foot pedals, handbrakes, H gears, brackets, etc., and the cost becomes even greater.
What's more, the steering wheel and bracket take up space and are easy to collect dust. The cost is not just a matter of money. Most people need to weigh it carefully before buying.
In short, Pei Qian thinks this idea is very good.
It very accurately dissuades the vast majority of players!
For ordinary players, this game means that if you touch the car even a little bit, you have to spend money to repair it, and you have to abide by traffic regulations, which makes the game not enjoyable at all;
For most keyboard and controller players, it is probably quite difficult and not much fun to control the vehicle precisely to pass Subject 2;
For those who have high-end equipment such as steering wheels, the game content is very boring and is no different from the real driving experience. There are many professional racing games that are much more fun than this.
The only people who will be interested in this game are probably those players who don't like drag racing, but really love normal driving, right?
If there are such players, then why don't they become online ride-hailing drivers? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to make money to support their families while satisfying their own hobbies?
Pei Qian looked around at everyone: "What do you think?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
To send benefits, go to the WeChat public account [Book Friends Base Camp] and receive 888 red envelopes!
Obviously, most people’s first reaction is: not great!
It sounds like these are quite counter-intuitive designs.
but……
When it comes from Mr. Pei's mouth, it makes people feel particularly convincing. It seems that behind this design that goes against common sense, there is a wonderful idea hidden behind it that subverts the traditional game design concept.
Wang Xiaobin asked tentatively: "Then...Mr. Pei, what should the name of this game be?"
"What's the name?" Pei Qian thought for a while, "Let's call it "Safe and Civilized Driving"!"
Wang Xiaobin: "..."
God damn safe and civilized driving!
Isn’t this the name of Subject 4 of the driving license test? Is it really okay to use it as the name of a racing game?
Pei Qian is obviously very satisfied with this name.
It fits the content of the game very well!
This game encourages everyone to drive safely and civilly. It is best to abide by traffic regulations, drive carefully, do not scratch or speed, and be a good law-abiding citizen in the game.
As for the gaming experience...
Haha, Pei Qian always considers the player's game experience last, and he always considers it in the direction of getting worse.
Seeing everyone's expressions of agreement, but actually extremely confused and confused expressions, Pei Qian knew that this brainstorming was a great success!
In fact, the so-called brainstorming is nothing more than getting everyone together to give themselves a little inspiration for making money-losing games.
Pei Qian looked at his watch, then stood up: "Okay, let's stop here for today's brainstorming."
“The results are quite remarkable.”
"Let's digest the results of today's brainstorming for a while, and you can figure out how to design it specifically."
Pei Qian feels that the ultimate form of this game has been determined by himself, and there should be no deviation.
Although on the surface, everyone is given full design autonomy, Pei Qian is very sure that everyone will still conscientiously follow their own requirements.
Anyway, as long as the game is successfully completed according to my own requirements, the final result should be pretty much the same.
…
After Mr. Pei left, everyone in the conference room had not yet fully recovered from their confusion.
Amidst the confusion, there was also a little admiration for Mr. Pei.
Obviously, the brainstorming has been completed for Mr. Pei, because Mr. Pei has already figured out the final form of the game and given everyone enough tips.
But for others, brainstorming has just begun!
All I can say is that Mr. Pei is Mr. Pei, and the speed with which he designs the game is simply amazing.
It only takes a few dozen minutes to design a game from 0 to 100. Who else is such a talented game producer?
But for others at Yangyang Games, they have not yet figured out several core issues in the game "Safe and Civilized Driving".
According to the conditions currently given by Mr. Pei, only a very incomplete game can be restored.
Obviously, there are still many details that Mr. Pei has not explained clearly. This requires everyone to work together to complete these details.
However, for the people at Yangyang Games, this was not the first time they had done this, so everyone was just surprised for a short time before settling down and preparing to analyze the importance of the game "Safe and Civilized Driving" to Mr. Pei.
What is the overall picture in my heart?
Ye Zhizhou said very familiarly: "Let's follow the previous process. First find out the doubtful points in President Pei's design, and then analyze them slowly."
"It just so happens that this opportunity is rare. Let's work together to find out the doubts."
