Chapter 208: The Great Road is Simple

In fact, Zhao Qi's imaginary daily parkour refers to many later parkour games, which can be regarded as a masterpiece, from the game method to the background design, prop design, etc., Zhao Qi said in detail. Of course, his language is actually very simple and everyone can understand it, after all, this kind of game is very simple and easy to play, the only difficulty is that the faster the character in the game runs, the more complex the terrain he faces, and the difficulty increases in a straight line.

At the end of the day, it's just a reflex game with no technical content.

"Not bad, not bad! Concise and clear, but very thoughtful! He Yong couldn't help but sigh, he was thinking, such a simple game setting, and so novel, why can't he think of it?

"It's a good premise, we can add a lot of Chinese elements to it and make a unique style. For example, the background is set in ancient times, and parkour is not used as the name, but light work, which is light work, to make it a chase and kill game in the martial arts world! Zhang Anti attaches great importance to Zhao Qi's opinion, but she is by no means a blind follower, on the contrary, she has always been quite assertive.

"This one can too!" Zhao Qi felt that this idea was reliable, so he nodded.

"It's so easy! It can even be considered rudimentary! I've never seen a game so botched and untechnical. Li Liang showed a disdainful expression and pretended to say, "First of all, making games is a very professional job, and it is not something that just anyone can do with a pat on the head. In addition to creativity, there are many things that need to be designed to make a game, such as backgrounds, props, plots, and balances. A game needs to think about everything. I don't see anything new in this game idea, I don't see any appeal, and I don't think anyone is going to play a game that's running around. ”

"What do you mean? Are you professional? You're a professional, and you want a good game! He Yong said disdainfully.

"At Naxon. I was involved in the creation of Dungeons & Warriors, and later on the creative design of the go-kart! These are my works, aren't these good games? But you, in addition to making sea flat fruits, are stepping on mushrooms. This kind of game is not a game at all, it is too inferior! Li Liang said proudly.

"Cut! If the game is not good, then why should users of Dragon Claw mobile phones play it? Still spending money on it? Even the Haibian fruits and mushrooms that have been finished a long time ago are in the top ten in the Dragon Claw Mall, right? ”

"That's because you can't play really good games on your phone!"

"Really good game? I don't even want to say that I still run go-karts, compared to these racing games like Need for Speed, it's just one word - scum! ”

"What do you mean? Have the ability, do you make a try? ”

"I'm too lazy to do it!"

"That's it!" Zhang Anti didn't mediate the relationship between the two, but when he saw that the two were arguing, he deviated from the topic. I can only scold, "Today is here to discuss game ideas, not to let you quarrel!" ”

He Yong shrugged his shoulders and continued to discuss the game idea with Zhao Qi.

Li Liang said to Zhang Anti: "Mr. Zhang, I came out of making large-scale online games, if you invite me to do this kind of childish game that can only be played on my mobile phone, I can only say that there is nothing I can do!" And, my creative department. Definitely not do things according to the layman's dictate! We have our own minds! We have our own pursuit of making games. Quality is our ......"

"Since you can't do it, then you can go and report your resignation!" Zhang Anti waved his hand, and there was no special expression on his face.

"What...... What the? Li Liang suddenly froze.

"Can't you do it? I remember telling you at the beginning that our company mainly focuses on mobile and tablet games with dragon claw system, what did you say at the time? You say you're comfortable with this simple game, but really? Those ideas you come up with. It's all rubbish! Maybe I don't have experience in this area, and I don't blame you, so I asked Zhao Qi to help with the ideas, and he has made many game ideas for our company. Every game is a hit, what qualifications do you have to be high-end here? "Zhang Anti is clearly angry.

"But, but ......"

"Nothing! I don't care about your lack of strength, I don't care about your old thinking, I don't care about your ignorance of smart device games. None of this is a problem, as long as you are willing to learn, I still believe in your professional ability. But this arrogant and ignorant attitude of yours disgusts me! Without a heart to learn and be humble, you will always be able to be used cheaply by Koreans. Do you think I don't know your position at Naxon Corporation? When you were working on Dungeons & Warriors, you were just an intern, and when you were running go-karts, you were an assistant to a less important designer in the creative department. Why are you embarrassed to say that you made these two games? I paid you because I thought you had seen the world, but I found out I was wrong. ”

"Mr. Zhang, listen to me, in fact, I'm just ......"

"No need to explain, I've given you a lot of opportunities, but I don't have a chance now. Go write your resignation report and I'll give you an extra three months' salary. ”

Zhang Anti said coldly.

The power suddenly turned blue, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and in the end, he could only slip away.

"Cut! What the hell! That is, Kuroko, you have a good temper, if I were you, I would have smoked him with a big ear. He Yong said to Zhao Qi.

"Beat the dog to see the owner! I'm not a mud bodhisattva, I'm still a little angry. Zhao Qi smiled, in fact, he really didn't have any anger. He's here to give advice, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't adopt it, he can also find other game companies to do it.

"It's my fault, I went a little crazy in order to grow the nine-star game company, and I was too hasty when choosing people. Forget it, let's move on to the game! Zhang Anti shook her head, her face was not particularly good-looking, it was her face that was lost.

Zhao Qi smiled: "Actually, you fired this guy, it was the right choice." I don't have a personal opinion on him, just a matter of facts. His most basic point of view is wrong, games, definitely not the more complex the better, especially the game on smart devices. The so-called road to simplicity, no one likes things that are too complicated. Games are meant to be relaxing and entertaining, but if they are too complicated and too profound and too difficult, are they tired? Tired! So who will still play? ”

He Yong nodded thoughtfully, this is an extremely simple truth, simple and unpretentious. However, few people can understand the meaning, at least, he has not been able to understand it.

Zhang Anti showed a sudden look, she finally knew why her people couldn't make good ideas, and they didn't go in the right direction at the root, and the consequences were of course a thousand miles wrong. Those who are creative, even herself, want to come up with a game that is rich in content and has a lot of gameplay. Originally, she still regretted firing Li Liang in a fit of anger, after all, it was a person who really had experience in making big games, and it was not easy to come by. But now, she is finally relieved, don't want such a person! If he is allowed to continue to be in charge of the planning department, he will definitely not be able to come up with any good ideas.

In fact, the success of modern technology is not because modern technology is more advanced, it is only secondary. The success of technology comes down to the fact that it makes people's lives and production simpler and more efficient. If technology makes people more tired, then who will replace old technology with new technology? No use, no development!

It's the same with games, the simpler they are, the easier they are to be liked. The classic games in the world are all super simple ideas, such as Tetris, such as Snake.

While Zhao Qi continued to discuss the game setting with the two, he remembered the products of Dragon Claw Technology. He found that he and a group of engineers have recently been working hard to stack new technologies, new features, and new ways of operating into Dragon Claw products. Exactly, they ignore the importance of simplification! A really good user experience is not to blindly do addition, but to do more subtraction! The simpler, the better.

Therefore, while helping Zhang Anti design parkour games, Zhao Qi also thought about simplifying his products.

Phones are okay, especially tablets, but they are still a bit too complicated compared to iPads.

He now finally understood why Jobs looked at the Dragonclaw tablet with a contemptuous look at the tablet at the time, saying that it was a laptop that was not a laptop, not a completely new product.

Now that I think about it, Jobs was right, the iPad is more concise than the Dragon Claw tablet. And the Dragon Claw tablet sells well, not because it is concise enough and innovative enough. But because it has two functions, it can be used as a tablet and as a notebook, and the key is that it is small and delicate enough, and the battery life is far more than that of ordinary notebooks by two or three times.

In other words, the Dragon Claw tablet has not yet become a true tablet that has broken away from the notebook.

Thinking about it this way, Zhao Qi finally found out why the performance of the iPad was not half of that of the Dragon Claw tablet, and it was only a thousand yuan cheaper than the Dragon Claw tablet, but it still sold so well. It's not just the brand's influence, it's its simplicity.

In terms of games, Zhao Qi only needs to mention a general direction, Zhang Anti, He Yong and others will do the follow-up things perfectly.

Therefore, soon Zhao Qi left the Nine Star Game Company, drove the car, and returned to Dragon Claw Technology with the iron pillar.

In the car, Zhao Qi didn't say a word, he was thinking about how to simplify the use of the dragon claw tablet.

First of all, what needs to be changed is the appearance of the Dragon Claw tablet, and the way it is linked to the keyboard case, which is a bit complicated. Secondly, the internal program architecture of the tablet needs to be changed, and although the way of the workstation can help people complete some office tasks, it is still too complex and not simple enough. Finally, what needs to be changed is the positioning of the dragon claw tablet itself, between the tablet and the notebook, it is not a good positioning, it is too blurry and complicated, it needs a simple and precise positioning.
