Chapter 749: Small Goals
"Faint, how can there be so many?"
Looking at the smart delivery vehicle parked in front of him, Zhao Xilin fell into a short period of sluggishness.
After running to the bathroom and vomiting, his motion sickness symptoms disappeared because of playing, and the breakfast in his stomach disappeared together, and he took out his mobile phone and ordered a group of vitality breakfasts. It's just that now it seems that something must be wrong, and the cartons waiting to be picked up in front of him look like a big pile, obviously not for one person.
took out his mobile phone and looked at it, Zhao Xilin suddenly had the urge to hit the wall, the number of orders displayed on it was 44 copies, it should be that he was trembling and dazzled and pressed the wrong one.
The first one is free early, but he needs to pay for the rest of the extra money, but this money will not make Deputy Manager Zhao, who is a middle-level manager, feel pain, but what makes him worry about how to deal with these foods. Refund is not a refund, and logistics companies that provide catering services do not pay attention to the after-sales experience like other monopoly organizations. It's not okay to throw it in the trash, it will make him on the waste list next week and become the leader of the whole group.
After thinking about it, Zhao Xilin had no choice but to pick up the takeaway he ordered, and then went to the No. 3 factory with this large pile of environmentally friendly cartons.
The members of the department were sitting and listening to Manager Lin's lecture, and when they saw Deputy Manager Zhao walking in with a large number of cardboard boxes, everyone showed a brief surprise, and then everyone wanted to understand what the situation was, and they all withdrew from the state of listening carefully to the training and let out bursts of presumptuous laughter. The one with that active temperament even took the opportunity to sarcastically say, "Boss Zhao, you really have to make up for it, you lost so much just now!"
"What are you laughing at, I won't give you any more laughter!"
"Haha!" The laughter was even louder, and everyone refused, saying that they would let the leader eat it all.
was interrupted by him like this, Lin Chen's disciplinary speech was naturally unsustainable, so he could only put this topic aside and make someone's joke with everyone.
Zhao Xilin's rank is actually the same as him, and it is said that he should have been transferred out to be in charge of a separate department a long time ago, but this guy was too tired to be transferred, and continued to be his old classmate as a deputy. The friendship between the two directors has not been easy to internal friction, so that the internal atmosphere of the development department has been very good, but there are some small problems in the relationship, like the current situation, Lin Chen has no way to govern the army with an iron face and enforce discipline, so he can only use us to emphasize the brains of the research and development personnel, if they all become screws who talk about rules and ask for instructions, in the end, they will suffer hardships and make less money, and they will barely comfort themselves.
Although he complained a little in his heart that the other party took the lead in violating the rules and made it difficult for him, he still reached out and took a carton under the pleading gaze of the other party, "I'm really hungry after such a toss, just to replenish my energy." ”
With him taking the lead, everyone else reached for a box and quickly solved the problem.
Throwing the used tissue box into the trash, Manager Lin looked at his deputy, opened his mouth and asked how he felt just now. It's not that he wants to settle accounts after the autumn, this question is purely for work, since someone has died as a guinea pig, it is natural to maximize his contribution.
Zhao Xilin opened his mouth and came, "It feels good!"
"Do you feel cool when you throw up like that?"
"It's very cool. ”
Seeing the expressions of "Are you okay?" on everyone's faces, Zhao Xilin hurriedly said: "It's normal for me to be looked at like this, and that feeling will be understood when you also experience the high speed, which is far from being comparable to the previous level! ”
As soon as you say this, everyone understands that when people are nervous and tired, they will secrete hormones such as adrenaline and endorphins to regulate their state, and these things have a certain addictive nature. Many people are obsessed with horror movies, roller coasters, extreme sports and long-distance running, because these activities stimulate the secretion of these hormones. Good horror games and action games have a similar effect, and their own "Crossing the Battlefield" has a better sense of immersion, which is naturally more addictive.
"CrossBattlefield CrossBattlefield" is a name collected during the game's internal name search, and it reflects the main gameplay of the game - driving cars, tanks, planes through the battlefield, and the problem is that the copycat flavor is too heavy. That's why the final name became "Battlefrontdriving", but fortunately there are many synonyms in English, and this BF is not EA's boyfriend (referring to the Battlefield series).
After a pause, Zhao Xilin said again: "I think the steering wheel force feedback function still has to be there, this thing has a great impact on the hand feeling." ”
This is not a new feature, many steering wheel peripherals have this function, cheaper just send out simple light and heavy vibrations, the advanced analog steering wheel will be equipped with a force feedback motor and foot pedals, can simulate the changes of the steering wheel when the car passes over different road surfaces, and the operation experience is as close as possible to the real car. Some high-end steering wheels even have "frames" and "cockpits" that can be tilted and deflected according to game parameters, giving players a more realistic driving experience.
When developing this simulator, Lin Chen and they did not find others to steal teachers, and well-known racing simulators at home and abroad have made several sets of them, and they have come back to disassemble and study slowly, and they have also accumulated a lot of experience.
Of course, there is no copy of the whole picture, after all, the goals of the two sides are very different, and other racing simulation equipment is for a variety of professional PC racing games (or racing simulation software) services, with special emphasis on rich interfaces and good compatibility. However, Lin Chen and others are doing exclusive hardware for specific games, which is more like a vR somatosensory arcade machine, and the addition of vR headset has also made great changes in the use experience of the entire system.
After all, human beings are visual animals, and among the various senses of the body, the visual priority is the highest, and the amount of information transmitted is also the largest. No matter how much the traditional surround screen is made larger, it can't compare to the vR headset in terms of visual immersion. In particular, the Dream WalkerN7s headset used on this system,It has4K resolution、120HzHigh-speed refresh、Eye tracking、Intelligent blur、3D sound field and other technologies are the top in the products on sale,With the same source of game software,Achieve the effect of 1+1greater than 2。
The only problem is that its price is high, and its screen and external host are not cheap, so Lin Chen and they can only find ways to save money elsewhere. The simulator prototype was a very ordinary gaming steering wheel installed in the front, and its poor vibration motor was removed, and there was no force feedback at all.
The reason why Zhao Xilin was pleasantly surprised by the tremor performance at high speed has a lot to do with this ordinary steering wheel, after all, the feeling impact brought by the sudden shaking of the guy who didn't shake before is naturally great.
However, this shaking was caused by his illegal operation, and he had a good time playing on it, while the others looked at the rattling seat stand but were worried. Tremor will cause loose screws and wear and even metal fatigue of stressed parts, which has always been avoided as much as possible, so Lao Zhao will ignore the cause of tremor and only say that the force feedback function should be added.
"There is also a tumbling function," Manager Zhao opened the chatterbox and continued to throw his suggestion out, "The Jeep rolled a few times at the end and it was super exciting, but unfortunately the hardware does not support tumbling to affect the experience, so this should be strengthened." ”
"There are really a lot of requirements," Lin Chen spoke as the number one, "It is impossible to overturn the car now, the additional sports structure will increase the volume and cost, even if you want to get it, you have to wait until next year." ”
"It must be next year," Zhao Xilin said: "Rolling on the surface vehicles such as cars, tanks, and speedboats is not obvious, and the plane often dives, climbs and overturns, and the experience will be much worse if there is no rolling function." Anyway, the technology is ready-made, and you can get it as long as you apply for it. ”
The current version of the game has airplanes, with a total of 4 World War II famous aircraft that can be piloted, accounting for a quarter of all 16 vehicles. But as he said, the lack of hardware does affect the flying experience of these aircraft.
"Tumbling can be had," Lin Chen clapped: "But the premise is that it sells well this year, if the current version of the machine can't sell a few units, you can only pay out of your own pocket to get one to play at home like Boss Ma." ”
"What is the standard of selling well?"
"What's the matter, it's better than the Oriental version of the round shield, let's fight locally!" Lin Chen set a small goal for his own products.
"You're setting your goals too high, maybe we'll all have to sharpen sticks for others next year. ”
"Round Shield" is a cold weapon vR simulation game developed by the Bee Games studio Vancouver for the Pt platform, which has been well received in Europe and the United States since its release last year. Greatly encouraged, the VC studio carried forward the high-speed development spirit of Bee, and successively launched a number of versions such as fantasy version, savage version, and fighting version, and the results were quite good. Although limited to the number of devices, the total sales of the game are only one million, but this series is not a small circle of money.
Zhao Xilin's deepest impression is a "wild and rough wooden stick", the material is an ordinary hardwood stick, the cost is less than 50 yuan, and he dares to sell it for 49 dollars, don't want the black one, and the sales volume is actually quite good. The price difference of several times naturally filled him with envy, jealousy and hatred, and he also deeply remembered the stalk of grinding sticks.
The reason why he knows so clearly is because the wooden stick is from the No. 2 factory next door, and Zhao Xilin watched with his own eyes how the colleagues next door selected the wooden sticks, how they pruned, polished, slotted and old, and finally cleaned and packed the boxes. Although it uses professional movie prop production technology, the degree of simulation is very high, but in his opinion, it is just a casually processed wooden stick, and it is not worth the price at all.
Some time ago, I received a big order next door, and I didn't grind the stick and changed to iron. Zhao Xilin only inquired a little and knew that this was an order from VC Studio, it turned out that VC planned to bring "Round Shield" to Asia, and developed a "Sword Out of the East" expansion pack for East Asian players, and this batch of oriental-style peripherals was intended to be sold at various game exhibitions by the way.
He knew, which meant that the entire third part knew, Lin Chen often mentioned VC and Yuandun in various meetings, and this time was no exception.
"What's the matter? Scared? Cowardice before fighting, isn't this your Zhao Daxia's style? What about your Italian artillery?"
Zhao Xilin rolled his eyes, "Dude is still single now, and you don't need this wife-killing artifact for the time being, so keep it for your own use." ”
"I'll tell you that to the one in my house. ”
"Don't, Brother Chen, I can't afford to mess with the ultimate protector of your family, if I let her know that your son won't have his godfather!"
This time it was Lin Chen's turn to roll his eyes, and hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt someone's nonsense, and said, "Okay, okay, the matter is not as serious as you think!"
"Canadians are not the ultimate boss, and there is no way to win," said Lin Chen paused, stepped aside in the expectant eyes of everyone, reached out and picked up his work tablet, and unlocked a document that had been prepared a long time ago, which was the marketing plan he had prepared for his own products.
According to the plan, Battlefield Gallop will be available on all major platforms, starting with Pt and their driving simulators, followed by AIB's three mobile platforms and the PC Steam platform. That is to say, if there is no discipline, in order to ensure the consistency of the operation, it is not ported to the mobile phone, but an auxiliary tool is launched to facilitate players to find information, watch videos and chat.
It's just that although Lin Chen's discipline is low, it hasn't fallen to this level, although the comparison method he proposed is still very shameless.
Compared with a popular product, sales and net profit are definitely no fun, Manager Lin's idea is to compare the number of active users, their equipment and Japanese arcade machines support the same network login function, it is completely possible to increase the number of mAU monthly active users by lowering the user entry threshold, as for the ARPU plummeting or something, naturally I can't take care of it. The top priority is to spread and spread, and try to let more people know that having such a game is what they need to do the most.
In this regard, they have an advantage, 4000 offline stores of Bee mobile phones across the country, chain stores and cooperative stores of space station Internet cafes, and offline business halls of Bee Communication can be used as places for simulators. Coupled with some external sales, the number is likely to exceed 10,000 units, and then it is not impossible to achieve tens of millions of monthly actives.
After reading his plan, Zhao Xilin was the first to ask a question: "Dear, how many 10,000 pieces of equipment are produced now?"
Lin Chen calmly spread his hands, "I know that there will be a period of time for the final finalization, but time is also not waiting for anyone, so I plan to produce 100 units first and send them to various places for public testing. ”
"I agree. is worthy of being a leader, this head is different from us!"
