This game is awesome

By then, we will be able to kill two birds with one stone and complete the two difficult tasks of "cutting costs and slowing down the update speed of Yaka due to lack of manpower" and "increasing revenue and burning money to accelerate Pei'e's bankruptcy process" at the same time!

To this end, Miss Maowu also contacted a senior game designer from Yungong Network in advance and invited him to Beihai Villa to teach Pei E how to practice the dragon-slaying technique in reverse and develop the secrets for a "hit" work.

Well, what a surprise.

Of course, before that, another huge threat must be dealt with first...

Miss Maowu lowered her head and walked into the office with Gu Qingshi.

"Teacher, I want to play games!"

Pei E went straight to the point without any hesitation.

Gu Qingshi was stunned after hearing this.

What do you mean you want to make games? Can Xinyin, a game studio, not have a game business?

Especially for the "Asian Truck Simulator" which is still being updated, Xinyin has made a lot of money by authorizing major driving schools.

After a while, Gu Qingshi finally understood that Pei E meant that she wanted to develop a new game...

"Have you finished updating Yakka?"

Pei E shook her head like a rattle and said, "I want to do both!"

Gu Qingshi suspected that Pei E's head was kicked by a donkey.

Why not leave the cash cow of Asia Truck Simulator untouched and divert human resources to develop new games?

She couldn't help but ask, "Do you really think so?"

"The cat house told me!"

Pei E proudly pulled Miss Cat House, who looked embarrassed, to her side.

Miss Maowu had an expression that said "I'm not, I didn't" which made Gu Qingshi suspicious, and she turned her gaze to Pei E.

Miss Cat House spoke in human language: "I said so..."

No matter what the truth was, Miss Maoya admitted it with an innocent look on her face, which proved that Pei E was lying.

Gu Qingshi didn't want to say anything more, so she scratched her head and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"I didn't think about it!"

Pei E said this with pride.

Seeing Gu Qingshi's speechless face, Pei E hurriedly explained: "I want to make a game that develops games, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet."

A game about developing games...

Gu Qingshi was even more confused.

As a development director who has presided over the entire development process of "Asia Truck Simulator", you tell me that you don't understand the process of game development?

Among games with game development themes, the most classic one is Neon Cairo’s “Game Utopia”, which is not uncommon in this world and is a common type of business simulation game.

Gu Qingshi took out her mobile phone and searched for a relatively successful case game in the app market.

"Here, just copy this and you're done."

Pei E took a look and quickly shook her head, gesturing and saying, "Teacher, I want to do something more profound!"

I think you want to go to heaven...

Gu Qingshi sighed.

What about the depth of hook 8? They are all scams. The only thing the game needs to do is to make players have more fun.

If you delve deeper into this area, you will naturally gain depth.

Just like Victoria, isn't it a modern history simulation game? Players enjoy reenacting or overturning existing history to open up a new timeline, and the development team is willing to work hard on historical simulation, so the game has depth.

The same is true for other types of games.

Gu Qingshi even dared to make a bold statement: "Fun is the greatest depth!"

In a way, butter is actually the least deep type of game.

The vast majority of butter games are "boring" or "not fun", and their only advantage is that they are exciting - Gu Qingshi, who has played thousands of butter games, can definitely say this with authority.

Gu Qingshi was about to persuade her when she saw Miss Maowu standing behind Pei E with a nervous look on her face, using sign language to show her with her hands crossed in an X shape.

Gu Qingshi didn't understand what it meant specifically.

Gu Qingshi said to Pei E: "First, copy the game we played earlier for me."

"After you've copied it down, we can talk about the deeper things later."

Pei E said angrily: "Oh."

.......

After seeing Gu Qingshi off, Pei E returned to the office feeling somewhat relieved.

"Cat House, I think it's better not to go into depth. The teacher doesn't seem to agree..."

Miss Cat House was startled.

How can this work!

A senior designer at Yungong had told her that the easiest way for newcomers to fail in making games is to blindly pursue the artistic connotation of the game.

If you don’t go deep, how can you lose money?

Miss Maowu was vaguely afraid of Gu Qingshi.

With just a few words, Pei E gave up her original idea. The CPU's skill was at least on the same level as hers!

Miss Maowu reminded Pei E, "Although Mr. Gu's suggestion makes sense, it is just one person's opinion after all. Moreover, the development environment and market position of Fanxing and Xunyin are also different. I think you should think independently."

Pei E hesitated and said, "But what the teacher said seems to be correct..."

Miss Cathouse choked.

Then, Pei E said happily: "Yes, independent thinking... I understand, this must be a test from my teacher!! He wants to see if I can strike a balance between player experience and game depth!"

Miss Cat House is a little tired.

Forget it, anyway, the purpose of launching the new game project has been achieved.

Chapter 250 [Farewell Gift from the Authors]

May 5, Beihai Villa.

Gu Qingshi is currently developing the second part.

Xu Qiu Sheng was walking beside Gu Qingshi, and suddenly something popped up in his mind.

If you want to have a son, you should write like Gu Qingshi.

Although it was a bit offensive, Director Xu really couldn't feel any awe when looking at this boss who was almost the same age as his daughter...

Gu Qingshi walked up the stairs and asked, "Old Xu, how is the progress of the Adventurer's Handbook?"

“The number of players is greater than we expected, but the user activity is not high. We estimated that the progress should reach 1M by today, but the actual progress is only 760K.”

Xu Qiu Sheng was referring to the progress bar of the "ultimate test" in the sky.

Thanks to the "Adventurer's Handbook", Long Yuan's Yu Su became a huge success in North America, with sales of over 300,000 in North America alone, and nearly 200,000 in China and Europe. In less than a week, the goal that Gu Qingshi had promised was achieved.

The sales figures are now slowing down because Longyuan’s production capacity is limited!

Longyuan estimated the highest sales volume to be only 600,000. Now, they are happy about the sales growth while being embarrassed by being accused of hunger marketing.

Using software to drive hardware was a very normal operation in Gu Qingshi's previous life. Apple's Steve Jobs once said, "Software is the user experience." Later, the case of Zelda driving NS sales was recorded in history.

There is also software in this world that can drive hardware, but Long Yuan did not find it, but Gu Qingshi found it at a glance.

"Didn't achieve the goal..."

Gu Qingshi groaned.

Over the four days, the players killed more than 0.29 monsters, which means each player killed monsters per day.

At this rate, players will definitely not be able to achieve their goal before June 6, so it is necessary to release some evil soldiers to cross the border.

Xu Qiusheng said helplessly: "We overestimated the average strength of players and underestimated the entry threshold of AR games. The initial test scale was small and there was not much feedback. Now many players are complaining about the difficulty of operation."

Gu Qingshi indeed had a deep understanding of this.

First of all, when playing the game, spellcasting professions need a "casting posture". If the movements are embarrassing, it's okay to do it at home, but if you pose in a JOJO posture on the street, it would be extremely embarrassing.

There are also many problems in close combat. For example, for monks, the monk's movements need to be synchronized with the player - that is, the AI ​​can only judge it as a punch when the player makes a punch.

But the reality is: players look straight ahead when fighting. If the punching action is too small, such as just a straight punch at the waist, the glasses often cannot capture the punching scene, so the phenomenon of "the player is as fierce as a tiger, but the output is only 0.5" often occurs.

In this regard, the technical team of Development Department 2 gave the following suggestions:

Buy somatosensory equipment...

Other than that, there is no solution.

You can't modify the glasses to have 360-degree coverage, right? Putting aside the technical and cost issues, how many players would wear a heavy, exaggerated and weird device on their heads?

"There are many more problems than we expected."

"But it's a rare attempt. There aren't many AR games in the industry right now. It's good to have experience and lessons. And I'm sure we can leave our name in the history of video games just by relying on the popular Adventurer's Handbook, right?"

Gu Qingshi smiled, went upstairs to the office, and then she asked Xu Qiu Sheng to sit down first.

In the office, Gu Qingshi made a pot of tea.

The two sat down and talked about interesting stories in the industry for a while.

The dense white mist gradually rose, and Gu Qingshi ended the chat.

"How is the development progress of Baldur's Gate?"

"Has been completed."

Gu Qingshi was shocked and asked, "Why didn't anyone report to me?"
