This game is awesome

The Zhiyin Angel Fund is in charge of the Linlang Project. Tang Manyan had just rested for a few days before she had to return to high-intensity work again.

But she was very good at this job.

Although it is not on the front line of game development, this job also requires an understanding of game design and the market, which coincides with her expertise.

But what made Gu Qingshi feel strange was:

The first client of the Linlang Project turned out to be Xunyin...

.......

.......

Room 405, Beihai Villa, Xunyin Studio Meeting Room.

After going through the hardships of the World Game Expo, Xiao Tang has finally become much more mature. Although she still speaks in a weak voice as if she is easy to bully, you will know after just one contact with her: the girl in front of you is not a cowardly sheep, but a mountain antelope.

Pei E casually pushed the plan in front of Tang Manwan and poured her a cup of tea.

"Well, Xiao Tang, take a look, this is the new game I envisioned!"

Tang Manyan got the plan and read it roughly.

She frowned slightly.

Very strange, watch it again.

It’s still so weird!

Although she really didn't want to offend Pei E, this game... was a bit abstract.

This is a "racing game", but not in the traditional sense. This game is about racing taxis......

The player drives a taxi in the first person to pick up passengers, and then can save money to upgrade the vehicle accessories. After a certain amount of savings, you can also buy a house in other cities and open a new map.

This game even supports multiplayer online...

Tang Manyan totally doesn't understand the meaning of making this kind of game online. Is it to let players band together to share the passenger market?

And the gameplay of this taxi is a bit boring.

Tang Manwan said tactfully: "Ms. Pei, would you like to consider making an orthodox racing game?"

Pei E immediately shook her head.

"No, I want to break through and innovate!"

Tang Manyan was a little embarrassed.

Pei E and her boss are good friends, Xun Yin and Fan Xing are also harmonious neighbors, and Xun Yin's Bai Zhuce has helped her a lot.

In this society where relationships are important, it would be wrong for her to reject Pei E rashly.

Not to mention Pei E also invested 50 million in the Linlang Project...

It was neither reasonable nor logical for her to refuse Pei E's "breakthrough and innovative" game.

But, there’s no way this crappy game could become popular!

Moreover, this kind of taxi game requires detailed modeling of more than one city. If the city map is too small or too few, players will quickly become bored and the workload will be too heavy.

Pei E was a little shaken when she saw Tang Manwan remained silent. She whispered, "Do you want to change it again?"

"If taxis don't work, big trucks will work..."

Big truck.......

Isn't this almost unchanged?

Tang Manwan couldn't stand Pei'e's pitiful gaze and whispered, "I'll take it back and judge it carefully, and give you a reply tomorrow."

"It's okay, I'll go back and make some changes."

Pei E naturally saw that Tang Manwan was politely refusing, and waved her hand to send her away without taking it seriously.

After Tang Manyan left, Pei E returned to her office.

She sat at her desk and wondered.

That shouldn't be the case! She has played a lot of racing games recently, and she feels that current racing games and even most games have a homogeneous feature:

The pace is too fast and the stimulation is too strong.

If the pace is too fast, players will feel tired after playing for a long time; if the stimulation is too strong, they will feel empty after closing the game.

In this case, why not think in reverse and fill the players' sense of emptiness and soothe their fatigue?

That’s what Pei E thought.

Such a game must be slow-paced and even a little boring. So Pei E thought of a taxi, constantly picking up and dropping off passengers, and on the way there would be passengers telling their life experiences and joys and sorrows.

Pei E dialed Gu Qingshi's cell phone number in confusion.

"Moshimoshi, Liger, Liger!"

There was no response from the other side.

After a while, a girl was seen peeking out from the third-floor balcony of Villa No. 404 not far away.

Gu Qingshi's voice came, "We are so close, why do we need to sit in the office to contact each other?"

"oh oh."

Pei E scratched her head and ran to the balcony to make a phone call with Gu Qingshi.

"Teacher, I thought of a new game."

"explain."

"I want to make a taxi simulation game..." Pei E told Gu Qingshi her idea.

Gu Qingshi was also a little puzzled after hearing this.

Miss Pei's train of thought is not right...

It’s not that this game is bad, on the contrary, the concept of this game is very good and very advanced.

The film has a slow pace and uses taxis as a medium to tell the lives, joys and sorrows of passengers, thus moving and soothing tired souls.

This is a healing game that sells stories and emotions, and there are many successful cases, such as "Soul Ferryman".

This is also a very good topic for independent games, which does not require graphics, numbers, or gameplay...

But it’s not easy to do.

This type of game still emphasizes "characters" and the "plots" surrounding the characters, which requires a lot of skill from the director.

Xunyin is an online game studio and has no experience in developing this type of game.

If it really comes out, it's very likely that the blood of a deer will flow through the veins of a tall horse...

neither fish nor fowl.

Gu Qingshi asked, "How about changing it?"

Pei E: "I listen to the teacher."

Very good. This young man is teachable.

Gu Qingshi felt very comfortable being flattered by Wuxing.

"Change the core of the game from characters to gameplay. Isn't it driving a car? Then let's drive something that players are less exposed to, such as driving a large cargo truck. Remember to play to the strengths of the audio and video. If you are not good at the plot, then polish the graphics and details. Add things like gear shifting, speed change, and highway speed limits, so that it can be different from other games on the market..."

Chapter 121 [Peripherals, Maids, Offline Experience Stores]

Pei E carefully wrote down the key points in her notebook.

This is the benefit of having a famous teacher. If you don’t understand something, you can just ask and the problem will be solved quickly.

Gu Qingshi also felt comfortable.

There is a pleasure in teaching others and imparting knowledge.

Otherwise, how is it that from the era of the Hundred Schools of Thought to the Internet age, technology has developed, ideas have progressed, but trolls have not disappeared?

After sending Pei E away, Gu Qingshi returned to the office and within a few minutes there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Li Xiaomeng walked in with empty hands.

Gu Qingshi looked at him curiously, "Why didn't you drink milk tea or play games today?"

Li Xiaomeng was furious and said dissatisfiedly: "I am working hard!!"

"Really?"

Gu Qingshi is incredible.

"I'm looking for a store in the city, and Gulang's peripheral factory in Yangcheng has also changed its brand!"

Gu Qingshi nodded, acknowledging that Li Xiaomeng has been working hard recently.

"Now that we have acquired the factory, let's allocate some of the production capacity to make steering wheels and pedals. Remember to find an engineer to design them, and then apply for a patent."

Li Xiaomeng was stunned for a while, and asked in confusion: "Are we going to make a car?"

Li Xiaomeng had only touched a steering wheel at a driving school and was very unfamiliar with it.

As for the steering wheel used in the game...

No one makes it, so the price is high. Because the price is high, no one buys it. Because no one buys it, the market demand is small. Because the market demand is small, no one makes it.

It's an endless loop.

In addition, the somatosensory response of racing game controllers is also good, so the general public of players generally has no need for a steering wheel.

Only rich guys or die-hard gamers who have money and time will customize such peripherals.

"Xunyin is going to develop a truck simulation game. I think there will be a market for things like steering wheels and pedals in the future."

puff!

Li Xiaomeng was dumbfounded. Simulation, trucks, games...

These three things don't look fun at all when put together. They are quite similar to the sand sculpture games on the NGI platform, such as "Farm Goose Simulator", "Super Forklift Simulator" and "Dump Truck Creation Grand Prix", which have mediocre sales and reviews.
