Chapter 1456 President Pei's way of employing people
Yu Fei was completely confused now.
Mr. Pei and the enthusiastic players were indeed very kind, but he still wanted to leave.
Although Qiao Liang’s video praised him by name and highly affirmed the important value he played in the game plot design, and also believed that the plot designed by Yu Fei played a finishing touch on the game "Ghost General 2", but
Yu Fei didn't feel that he had any reason to stay.
If before, the factors of "wanting to leave" and "not wanting to leave" in his heart accounted for 80% and 20% respectively, then now, this ratio has been reduced to 50% and 50%, half and half.
On the contrary, it becomes more difficult to choose!
Yu Fei feels that although the plot he wrote for "Ghost General 2" is indeed pretty good, game design is a very professional matter after all, right?
After all, I just wrote a bit of the plot. The core idea of the game was completed by Mr. Pei, and the specific details were completed by other designers in the game department.
If it is just about the plot, then Yu Fei can actually accept the "outsourcing" model, that is, after leaving Tenda Games, he will continue to take over the plot needs of Tenda Games. With Mr. Pei's generosity, the money will definitely be a lot of money.
of.
If you think about it this way, there is still no reason why you must stay in Tenda?
Moreover, after all, he had just posted on Weibo that he was leaving, and his attitude was quite firm.
As a result, less than half an hour later, he posted on Weibo again saying he couldn’t leave?
This is not appropriate either. Isn’t this playing tricks on the players?
Yu Fei is now in a dilemma and at a loss.
He scrolled through Weibo with confusion, and saw in the notification bar that more and more people were replying to himself and @himself.
While habitually clicking on it to check, I was thinking about what I should do.
Should I continue to insist on leaving regardless of everyone's attempts to stay? Or should I just pretend that I never posted the previous Weibo post and just say "it's so sweet"?
It’s so hard to choose!
After much deliberation, Yu Fei decided to edit another Weibo post.
"Thank you all for your retention and love. As a main designer who became a monk halfway, I am very touched to receive the support of so many players!"
"The plot of "Ghost General 2" has indeed gathered some of my hard work, and I am very happy to see that everyone likes it. However, my help for Tenda Games is limited to the plot. I have nothing to do with other aspects.
Build a tree."
"My current situation, it should be said that I occupy the position of chief designer, but do the work of plot designer. This is obviously inappropriate. A truly qualified chief designer should be an all-rounder, not just a master.
Write a plot.”
"So, thank you all for staying, but I am still more inclined to leave. But please rest assured that in the future, Tenda Games and I will be able to cooperate in a more free way, such as 'plot outsourcing'. I believe in the new chief designer of Tenda Games
We will definitely be able to bring you more excellent works!”
After finishing editing this Weibo, Yu Fei placed the mouse on the send button, but it did not send it immediately.
"Think again and be more thoughtful. If you change your mind after this is posted, the program's effectiveness will be completely compromised..."
Yu Fei became cautious this time, after all, his first Weibo post had already attracted a lot of attention.
Now for him, he can leave or stay. But if the second Weibo is posted, it would be a bit inappropriate to change his mind.
Just when he was struggling, some people were @him.
Yu Fei clicked on the notification and was suddenly stunned.
Because among these new @s, there is a name that he is familiar with: He An!
Yu Fei is no stranger to this name. In fact, anyone who knows a little bit about the domestic gaming industry knows Mr. He. He was a big-shot figure in the early days of the domestic gaming industry.
Yu Fei was very shocked. How could his Weibo be so influential? It blew up He Lao, who had retired from the world for a long time and had no interest in worldly affairs.
He hurriedly clicked to check and found that He An not only simply @ him, but also posted a long Weibo!
The topic is: See Mr. Pei’s art of employing people from "Ghost General 2"!
Yu Fei was very surprised.
The art of employing people?
This...could he be talking about me?
Yu Fei quickly looked down.
…
"I have been playing "Ghost General 2" recently, and I have gained something occasionally, so I would like to share it with you."
"As for the content of the game itself, many people have already said it very well. I am not very professional in fighting games, so I won't go into details."
"But I would like to use this game to briefly discuss with you Mr. Pei's art of employing people!"
"I have seen some people say that as an online article writer, Yu Fei is indeed very successful in game plots, but his abilities in other aspects are very weak. He even needs the guidance of Mr. Pei and the old planners from Tenda Game Department to complete this task.
game. In other words, I think he is only a qualified plot designer, not a qualified chief designer."
"I have a different view on this."
"Excuse me, how should we define the difference between the status of plot designer and chief designer?"
"Suppose now that the story designer's plot design conflicts with the game's basic gameplay, level process, etc., how should the development team make a decision?"
"Are you modifying other basic aspects of the game to better present the plot? Or are you modifying the plot for the sake of the gameplay itself?"
"This is what I want to emphasize, the issue of the right to speak!"
"Generally speaking, what we call a 'story designer' has a lower status in the development team than a 'lead designer'. The story designer's task is to put the game mechanics on the line based on the requirements put forward by the lead designer.
A reasonable plot veneer. Once a conflict occurs, the plot must be changed according to the chief designer's request."
"On the other hand, what if the plot designer has a higher status in the development team than the main designer? Then when a conflict occurs, the main designer will listen to the plot designer, and the plot will remain unchanged and the game functions will be modified."
"Many people may say, no matter how you change it, won't it make the same difference? Anyway, as long as the game can be finished in the end, this little change won't affect anything when conflicts arise."
"But I have to say, this is obviously what a layman would say. How do you say 'a little bit of change will not affect anything'? A finished game can be seen as a precision instrument with each gear meshing tightly, and a single move can affect the whole body.
.Sometimes if you change a small detail, it may trigger a chain reaction and cause the entire game to collapse."
"When an outsider guides an expert, there will be tragedies like 'a game that focuses on the story but feeds players shit in the story'. At a small scale, it will leave flaws in a game that originally had the opportunity to pursue perfection; at a larger scale, it will leave flaws in a game that has the opportunity to pursue perfection;
It can be said that flaws in the plot are enough to destroy all efforts in game mechanics and game quality, and even knock a god-like IP into the abyss of eternal destruction!"
"Then some people may want to ask, should we support the plot designer or the main designer?"
"I can only say that to analyze specific issues, it depends on how much role the plot plays in a game. If a game is a plot-oriented interactive movie game, then the plot is of course crucial. If
The game itself is not the main plot, so the plot must give way to the game mechanics."
"But here I want to emphasize one point: in some games, the entire PVE content and many game mechanisms may be based on plot settings. Then, the plot may not be that important on the surface. It seems that the game mechanics have been changed for the sake of it.
It won’t be a big deal if you change it, but in fact, in this kind of game, the importance of the plot is as important as that of plot-oriented games!”
"For example, "Eternal Reincarnation" and "Ghost General 2"."
"Neither of them are interactive movie games that focus on plot. The former is an action game and the latter is a fighting game. On the surface, their highlights are the combat system and rich PVE and PVP content. However, they are game mechanics.
A game based on plot settings.”
"For example, all the game mechanics in "Eternal Fallen Reincarnation" are derived from the original settings, and the various general skills, levels, and combat systems in "Ghost Commander 2" are also derived from the game's plot and world view settings.
"
"Because the plots of these two games are so natural that people naturally ignore the role of the plot."
"But think about it carefully, have you ever played a game where the hero skills are incompatible with the hero settings? For example, in some relatively low-quality card games, you can clearly feel that some skills are not suitable for others.
It seems that it can also be applied to heroes; some skills are obviously a basic mechanism covered with a layer of skin related to this hero, and the skin can be changed to be applied to other heroes."
"When you see a hero's skills in the game, you feel that they are very appropriate and natural, as if they are natural and part of the hero's setting. Does this feeling often occur?"
"Obviously, the former is a common phenomenon, while the latter is rare. "Eternal Reincarnation" and "Ghost General 2" are the latter."
"Why is this happening? It's still a matter of voice as mentioned before. Because the plot designer has a high enough voice, he can perfectly integrate the game background and game mechanics, instead of letting the game plot become a simple picture.
The trap."
"And this gap in details is the key to determining whether a game is an excellent game or a top-notch game."
"Some people may ask after seeing this: So what? What does this have to do with Mr. Pei's way of employing people?"
"Of course it does matter, because Mr. Pei boldly used Yu Fei as the chief designer for "Eternal Reincarnation" and "Ghost General 2", which is a concrete manifestation of Mr. Pei's understanding of people and his good deeds!"
“If you want to bring these two games to the current perfect state, Yu Fei must sit in the position of the chief designer, and cannot sit in the position of the plot designer, because only the position of the chief designer
