Chapter 1131: Mr. Pei's Suggestion

Pei Qian looked at the others again, and everyone's expressions were different.

Lao Song and Cai Jiadong hadn't dealt with Mr. Pei much, so the expression on their faces at this time was a little proud.

They were in charge of VR glasses and the "Animal Island" game, and now that the finished product is out, they feel very proud, and they can't wait to show it off in front of Mr. Pei.

Even Mr. Pei will be very satisfied when he sees this kind of finished product, right?

As for Lin Wan, Ye Zhizhou and others, because they have cooperated with Mr. Pei many times, their expressions are still relatively calm.

Because they all know very well that no matter how good a product or game is, there must be a problem in Mr. Pei's eyes, and it is impossible to be perfect.

Mr. Pei will inevitably be able to judge from a higher dimension and see the flaws that everyone can't see!

Even if this product or game really reaches the point of perfection, it is not a particularly surprising thing for Mr. Pei, because all this must be expected by Mr. Pei.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Pei Qian was silent.

At this point, he was a little panicked, but he couldn't show it at all.

The character and image can't collapse!

Especially when Meng Chang is still looking at himself with this kind of eyes, he can't show his cowardice in front of him!

Pei Qian nodded slightly: "Well, it's okay." ”

"However, I have two small suggestions for changes, and you can decide whether to change them or not."

Lin Wan's eyes lit up instantly.

Sure enough, Mr. Pei still saw the problem and came to point out!

She immediately nodded: "Mr. Pei, you say." ”

Pei Qian thought for a moment and said, "The first suggestion is the logo of the forehead protection position of this VR glasses. ”

"My idea is to draw a horizontal line in the middle of the logo on this forehead guard, which runs through the entire logo."

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Especially Lao Song and Cai Jiadong, they are very confused.

What does that mean?

It is not difficult to tell the manufacturer to change the pattern slightly, after all, VR glasses have not yet entered the mass production stage.

And even if it enters the mass production stage, there is no big problem, this hexagonal part can be removed, this is Lao Song considering that there may be a new model or a cooperative version with other IPs in the future, so this position may be printed with other logos, and some detachable module designs have been made.

But here's the problem...... What's the point?

Pei Qian didn't explain much, because he couldn't say what he originally thought.

And he knew that even without explanation, these people would naturally find a suitable explanation.

In fact, his original intention was very simple: metaphysics.

After Pei Qian saw the forehead guard of this VR glasses, especially this very flat hexagon, it reminded him of the ninja forehead guard in a certain anime.

And in that anime, a horizontal line is drawn on the forehead, which means that this ninja has a big problem and betrays the original ninja village.

Therefore, Pei Qian hopes that all VR glasses can draw such a line, which is to imply that this product is destined to have big problems, fail, and betray Chi Xing Studio.

It's just that there are no similar anime in this world.,So everyone can't get this stalk.。

Lao Song took a piece of paper, drew a sketch on it, and then looked at it for a long time.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something: "Hey, after drawing a line like this, it seems to look even better!" ”

"Understood, this line has changed the structure and layout of the forehead protection pattern to a certain extent. The logo of Chi Xing Studio is displayed in the center of the hexagon, and the two sides of the logo appear empty, and it does not seem to have a good sense of interaction with the hexagonal forehead protection. ”

"But after drawing this line, the entire hexagon and the logo of Chi Xing Studio are connected, which looks more pleasing to the eye!"

Lin Wan pondered for a moment and said, "Well, I think this can achieve an unconventional effect. ”

"It's all too common for other companies to print their own logos on their products. In fact, except for some companies with their own forced style, no matter how beautiful the logo design is, other companies can't see where it is printed after printing. ”

"Drawing a horizontal line in this way completely distinguishes it from the practices of other companies, and it shows a unique personality!"

Moreover, this line also represents a break and subversion of tradition. VR glasses are originally a product that transcends the times, and the VR glasses we developed have made many subversive designs, which are exactly the same in the spiritual core! ”

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin also sighed: "Wonderful! ”

"Before the line was drawn, it was just an ordinary company logo, which was unremarkable."

"After the line can be crossed, it can convey such a spiritual connotation, which matches our studio and this VR eye product, and it also leaves a deep impression on players!"

"That's probably the finishing touch, isn't it? A true master of design, as long as a horizontal line, can also turn decay into magic? ”

Everyone was amazed.

Even Meng Chang was a little conquered.

Originally, he didn't think there was anything to add a line, but listening to everyone's analysis, it really makes sense!

After adding this line, it not only improves the aesthetics, but also increases the cultural connotation, which is simply the finishing touch!

Lin Wan hurriedly said, "Mr. Pei, what about other suggestions?" ”

Pei Qian coughed lightly twice and continued to speak, for fear that this group of people would continue to make up for it and make up something terrible.

"The second piece of advice is that I hope to do a little less beginner guidance in these mini-games."

This one is simpler and more crude, and the purpose is clear.

Animal Island VR provides a new mode of game interaction, and the player's learning cost will be high.

It's not like those end games, it's an FPS game, and the player knows to left-click to shoot, right-click to aim, and press R to change bullets after entering. After all, these settings are the same in all FPS games.

However, at present, there is no VR game with a very well-known and wide number of players to formulate the operation standards of VR games, so after coming to "Animal Island VR", how to open a bow and arrows, how to throw a rod and fish, these operations players have to learn from scratch.

Pei Qian didn't expect to dissuade all the players from quitting without novice guidance at all, that was impossible.

Because a game is not played well, the game may be judged by the system to be a semi-finished product, and what if it is not settled at that time?

But it's okay to cut down on some beginner's guides a bit.

If you can dissuade a few players, you can dissuade a few players, and it is not too much to dissuade one player, and it is not too much to dissuade a hundred thousand.

Anyway, as long as it can dissuade players, it's a good design.

This time, everyone was even more confused.

This behavior is even more counterintuitive, because all game designers, when they first start out in the industry, will understand one of the most basic design concepts: the more detailed and rich the beginner's guide, the better.

Because you can never imagine what happens to players when they experience a new game.

The IQ of people's games is different, some people are naturally smart, and they can play the game as soon as they get started; And some people are very ignorant at the novice stage and can't even do particularly simple operations.

Moreover, sometimes the player is either stupid, but the brain circuit does not match the designer's brain circuit, so it gets stuck.

The number of players in the game is large enough, so it is inevitable that there will be a few players with relatively clear brain circuits. If they don't get stuck, they may be lost.

Therefore, the beginner's guide is sometimes made very mentally retarded, and it seems to be for three-year-old children, which is also something that cannot be helped.

Lin Wan frowned again and pondered.

Suddenly, she felt a flash of inspiration: "I understand! ”

Pei Qian hurriedly raised his hand and interrupted her: "It's good to understand, you don't have to say it every time!" ”

Good guy, now the misinterpretation of what I say is all face-to-face misinterpretation, instantaneous misinterpretation, not overnight at all, is this okay?

It's your business how you like to interpret it, don't say it in front of me, it's blocking me, okay!

Lin Wan immediately understood: "Okay, Mr. Pei." ”

"Uh...... There is one more problem. ”

"Why don't you give these glasses a name?"

Pei Qian was a little speechless.

Why is it that all the work of naming is given to me now?

He couldn't even remember how many names he had named.

But on second thought, who made himself a genius? And by naming your own name, you can also please a good fortune.

"Okay then."

Pei Qian thought about it for a while, and he had the impression that most of the VR glasses were named in a separate English, and they all had a certain meaning, which was more compelling.

Chinese characters alone are not bad, but Pei Qian doesn't want to overemphasize the domestic identity of this glasses, so as to stimulate everyone's psychology of supporting domestic products. Come up with an English name and just go with the flow.

Other people's names are similar to quest, index, and rift.

"That'...... Let's call it doubt. ”

Pei Qian's original intention was that the success of these glasses was full of doubts and could not succeed.

The word "question" will have a neutral meaning when used as question or problem, and it may be a little more negative when used as doubt.

It means that it is completely uncertain and unreliable.

Lin Wan nodded slightly.

Although she can't quite understand the meaning of the name yet, she will definitely figure it out later.

"In short, thank you so much, Mr. Pei!"

"It's like seeing the light of day."

Pei Qian waved his hand, indicating that it was a trivial matter, and it was not enough to worry about it.

"Alright, I'll leave first if there's nothing else to do."

After holding the scene, Pei Qian beckoned and left with Meng Chang.

Pei Qian's final operation completely shocked Lao Song and Cai Jiadong.

They originally thought that the glasses and games were perfect, but they didn't expect Mr. Pei to find out the problem easily and comfortably.

And it's not a harmless little problem, but a key problem that improves a lot after being changed!

This made them sigh with emotion, worthy of Mr. Pei!

I've been listening to everyone blowing Mr. Pei so much that I don't even believe it, but now it seems that it's really not an exaggeration at all!

In addition to the two of them, there was also Meng Chang.

Originally, Meng Changdu had already looked at Mr. Pei with a mentality of seeing that the funeral was not too big, but now, he didn't dare to make a mistake at all.

Needless to say, the first suggestion has already been answered by everyone present.

Although there is no clear explanation for the second suggestion, judging from Lin Wan's expression, it is obvious that it also has a huge improvement effect on the game.

After coming out, seeing that there was no one around, Meng Chang asked curiously, "Mr. Pei, are you really so confident?" ”

"I think the reverse promotion plan will be successful, so even if I make suggestions and improve the product, it will not have any impact on the publicity plan?"

Pei Qian said in his heart.

Which eye can you see that I'm making suggestions and improving the product?

These two suggestions I made are trying to make next month's publicity plan less difficult, okay?

It's just that they understand the slightest deviation......

But this kind of thing can't be explained, so I can only silently not speak and refuse to answer.

Seeing Mr. Pei's unfathomable expression, Meng Chang was even more sure of his guess.

Sure enough, Pei always has to prove to me with reverse propaganda, and also make VR glasses and games explode normally to make money!

If the game sells poorly in order to prove that reverse publicity is feasible, it is obviously a loss for Mr. Pei.

Only when the purpose of reverse publicity is completed, VR glasses and games make a lot of money, that is the ultimate goal of Mr. Pei!

But...... Can this really be done?

Not to mention persisting for a month, Meng Chang felt that it was impossible to persist for two weeks.

But looking at Mr. Pei's strategizing, he obviously didn't take this matter as a problem at all.

Sure enough, I thought it was difficult for Mr. Pei before, but it was completely an illusion.

Let's honestly watch Mr. Pei's operation on the side!

……

After Mr. Pei left, Cai Jiadong asked, "Why does Mr. Pei let us do less novice guidance?" It seems...... It's a bit out of common sense. ”

Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin looked at each other, and then at Lin Wan: "We do have some ideas, but they may not be comprehensive. ”

Lin Wan nodded: "Then I'll talk about it." ”

"Considering that many players are playing VR games for the first time, they don't know how VR games should be operated, so it is necessary to do more novice guidance, which is a problem that most designers will think of."

"But how can Mr. Pei be an ordinary designer?"

"I must have thought of a higher level!"

"When Mr. Pei said this, it is definitely not for us to give up the novice guide and dissuade the players."

"What Mr. Pei means is that while we complete the novice guide, we can cut down those complicated steps and make the whole process more smooth, concise and natural!"

"The best beginner's guide is not to tell the player what to do with a large paragraph of text or voice, but to let the player see something the moment they see it, and immediately use common sense to judge and know how to use it!"

"For example, put a few raw apples far from the fire and a few ripe apples next to the fire. There's no need to tell the player 'the fire can bake apples', as soon as the player sees this scene, they will immediately understand the game mechanic. ”

"It's the same with Animal Island VR. If we use interrupted voice or text to teach the player, it will be cumbersome and it will also make the player feel more playful. ”

"If we guide the player in a more natural way, it is concise and the player learns these things naturally as they experience the fun of the game. The most important thing is that this teaching method can also show the superiority of VR games! ”

"In the case of archery, if in a computer game, which key to press will open the bow and arrow is completely up to the designer's idea, it is difficult for the player to guess. Unless many archery games are fixed to shoot arrows with the right mouse button, players will form memories. ”

"But in VR games, there is no need to teach at all, players will naturally fumble with their left hand to open the bow, right hand to hold the arrow, and let go of the arrow."

"So, we should get rid of the cumbersome instructions and guide the player in a more subtle way."

"For example, try to make the player see the bow feather on his back that extends to his right shoulder, implying that he can draw the arrow directly from his right shoulder; Have a hunting critter do the hunting action to guide the player to do something similar. ”

"Isn't it also a great sense of accomplishment for players to skillfully integrate guidance into the game's content, so that players can naturally explore and think about how to do it?"

Cai Jiadong suddenly realized: "I see! ”

"If you change the game mode, the way of beginner guidance will naturally change."

"Mr. Pei's idea is the result of considering the special form of VR games and thinking about the problem from a higher level!"

Lao Song couldn't help nodding.

Although he didn't understand game design, when he heard Lin Wan say this, he immediately felt that Mr. Pei was too powerful.

"But ......"

"I don't really like the name. That's not a particularly good word. ”

As the project manager of VR glasses, and the person who actually designed and developed the glasses, Lao Song was a little dissatisfied with the name.

Lin Wan said: "Mr. Pei's name must have some special meaning in it. ”

"At present, everyone thinks that this name is not good, mainly because the meaning has not been revealed, and it has not given the name a special humanistic aura."

"After Mr. Pei's true meaning is revealed, this name will definitely be impressive!"
