Chapter 1248: Sloppy design

After setting the general direction of "Ghost 2", Pei Qian looked at Yu Fei again: "This is mainly to blame when I didn't make it clear at the beginning. In fact, your idea is quite good."
"The background of the game will be determined first, so let's talk about the gameplay."
"Don't be restrained, what to say."
Yu Fei was silent again.
Mr. Pei, you are a bit unkind.
Let me speak freely, but as soon as I finished speaking, you gave me no.
Although on the surface it was saying that I had forgotten, but in fact it obviously did not approve of what I said, so I euphemistically proposed the amendment!
Will you seriously consider my proposal?
con man!
Now Mr. Pei asked about the details of the game, this really involved Yu Fei's knowledge blind zone.
He used his superficial knowledge of the game to come up with the idea of ​​"Tengda Chaos", which is already the most reliable idea he can come up with.
As for the details of this game, I don’t understand it at all, so where do I start?
Yu Fei held back for a few minutes like constipation, and said with some broken jars: "Okay, then I will really speak freely."
"I think there are many reasons why fighting games have become niche."
"One of the biggest reasons is that it is too hardcore, and almost all the fun is concentrated on PVP."
"For ordinary players, it is difficult to learn, to practice, and to experience fun. Although PVE is available, it is boring, while PVP is fun, but because there are few players and the gap is large, novices can easily be abused and quickly give up. ."
"In order to change this, I think we should consider the following points."
"The first is to consider changing the perspective of fighting games, changing to the perspective of "Returning to the Shore", and making some adjustments to the combat mechanism to allow players to fight in a more popular and familiar way."
"The second is to increase the PVE gameplay. You can consider adding a large number of minions in the battle, while expanding the battle scene and strengthening the attributes of the BOSS."
"The third is to introduce two sets of operating mechanisms, one is the original operating mechanism, and the other is to simplify the operating mechanism to lower the threshold for beginners."
"Fourth is to establish a more complete practice mode, not just for players to explore on their own, but to be clearer and clearer, so that players can practice repeatedly to form muscle memory, and at the same time provide more in-depth explanations of some professional content, eliminating the need for players Go online to find time for video learning."
Yu Fei also speaks freely, no matter what he says.
Don't you let me just say it casually? Then I can say it casually!
Anyway, whether to adopt or not, that's Mr. Pei's business. No matter how unreliable I say, President Pei will definitely screen it carefully and choose the right plan.
After listening to Yu Fei's words, the people around had different expressions.
But designers who know a little more about fighting games are shaking their heads slightly.
Obviously, this idea of ​​Yu Fei is purely considering the problem from his own point of view, and has not considered the idea of ​​the target player group at all.
Just as Yu Fei said about changing the perspective, he had already exposed his absolute layman.
The perspective of fighting games has been changed. What is it called a fighting game?
Change it to a third-person perspective like "Looking Back at the Shore", make a larger map, add mobs, and increase the numerical difficulty of the boss in the plot...
Isn't this an action game like "Looking Back"?
It just changed the skin of "Ghost General".
Of course, he cannot be blamed.
Because Yu Fei was originally a fan of action games, he said that he didn't understand fighting games, and when the incident happened suddenly, he couldn't have time to understand and investigate.
Therefore, it is very reasonable to give this plan.
Even in a sense, the game model proposed by Yu Fei is definitely more profitable than pure fighting games. After all, there are "Returning to the Shore" and "Eternal Fallen Reincarnation" as the foundation, and this type of game is more popular.
But President Pei has already said that this is a fighting game, so it is impossible to adopt Yu Fei's plan.
Pei Qian listened carefully, trying to extract elements that might lose money from it.
After listening to everything, Pei Qian was silent for a moment, and said, "According to you, this game seems to be more of an action game than a fighting game."
Yu Fei: "Ah this..."
"It seems to be the case."
"Can you add some rubbing settings to the action?"
"It's... um..."
The more he talked, the less emboldened.
Yu Fei just slapped his head, saying what he thought of, but looking at the atmosphere at the scene and Mr. Pei's reaction, it was obvious that what he said was very unreliable.
The key is that he has gradually recollected it himself. If this is changed, what kind of fighting game is this called? It's obviously an action game.
Moreover, even if the setting of rubbing is added, there is no way to save it.
On the one hand, the operation modes of fighting games and action games are completely different. If nothing else, the usage of this joystick is completely different and it is not compatible at all. The idea of ​​"rubbing moves in action games" is basically impossible to realize.
On the other hand, even if it is made, it can only be regarded as an "action game with some fighting elements" rather than a "fighting game that looks very much like an action game."
There are still essential differences between the two.
Pei Qian rubbed his chin and felt that this plan would not work.
The key is that you made the fighting game an action game. Aren’t I going to make money?
Pei Qian decided to make a fighting game because he felt that it was niche and not profitable.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian coughed slightly: "I think there are still many advantages, but the first point you said is open to question."
"The perspective of the game cannot be changed. If it is changed, it is not called a fighting game."
"Of course, the issue of perspective will not be so absolute. We can fine-tune it to a certain extent to differentiate it from traditional fighting games."
"Apart from this point, I think there is nothing wrong with what you said, which is in line with the general direction I expected."
"Especially the setting of joining Xiaobing, I think it is very novel!"
"But it should be noted that the minions cannot all be placed on a cross section. Although this is a fighting game, what we are going to do is pure 3D. The minions will come from all directions."
"All the operations of the fighting game are carried out on the cross-section of the 2D perspective. How to balance the relationship between the two and make them blend together? This has to give play to your ingenuity."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone at the scene was a little surprised.
what?
President Pei’s explanation of the first point is in line with their psychological expectations, but that’s not the case later!
The viewing angle can be fine-tuned, but not greatly changed, this is for sure.
But the latter, making larger scenes, adding minions, adding attributes to BOSS, etc., is a bit difficult to understand!
The key is that it's hard to figure out what the state of adding a small soldier in a fighting game is, it's so messy!
Of course, many people will subconsciously consider from the perspective of the horizontal version of the game, that is, let all the minions concentrate on the same cross-section, or add a certain depth of field to the cross-section.
But looking at what Mr. Pei meant, he definitely didn't want to make a horizontal game.
What he wants is a fighting game, which means that the setting of rubbing must be retained, and to retain the rubbing, then whether the player uses the joystick or the arrow keys, the operating habits must conform to the habits of fighting game players.
Moreover, the creeps cannot all be on the same cross section.
Pei always said that this game is actually 3D, and the soldiers will come from all directions, but the player sees the side of the character, which is in line with the perspective of traditional fighting games.
So how to add this stuff is really hard to understand.
Seeing everyone's dazed expressions, Pei Qian couldn't help but smile.
Yes, the effect is achieved!
In fact, there are two main concerns that Pei Qian is most worried about: First, he is afraid that "Ghost 2" will become an action game like "Looking Back at the Shore", or some kind of unparalleled mowing game, then it is not a fighting game at all. The probability has greatly increased; the second is that "Ghost 2" will become a pure-blood fighting game, causing these diehard players to pursue it.
Therefore, Ji Fei Pai's head came up with this plan to make this game into four different things.
Coupled with Yu Fei, a chief designer who doesn't understand fighting games at all, big things can happen!
"Do you have any other opinions?"
"Very good, then follow this plan."
"If you think of any ideas later, you can talk to Yu Fei, because Fei will give me feedback."
Pei Qian just asked symbolically. At this time, everyone was still racking their brains to think about what Mr. Pei's design meant, and no one stood up and talked about their own ideas.
This is also very good, when they have an idea, let them give feedback to Yu Fei.
Yu Fei was originally not good at fighting games and had no idea about the ultimate form of "Ghost 2". If his staff kept giving him advice, he would definitely become very confused.
But it should not be impossible, after all, the entire Tenda game team is relatively professional.
The most likely thing is that the deadline is stuck, and then a splicing monster with four different images is made. After spending a lot of money to buy a lot of resources, the picture is good, but it is not fun.
That is the ultimate goal Pei Qian wants to pursue.
Pei Qian was very satisfied with his plan and got up to leave.
When Yu Fei saw that Mr. Pei was about to leave, he was almost in a hurry.
"Wait a minute, President Pei!"
"Just leave this job to me?"
Pei Qian nodded: "Of course, aren't you the chief designer? Who else can you give it to you?"
"But..." Yu Fei looked dazed, and didn't even know what to say.
I talked so much about it just now, haven't I let President Pei see that I am actually a scum? Haven't Mr. Bae noticed that I really don't understand fighting games at all?
But why did President Pei give me this important task?
Seeing Yu Fei's confusion, President Pei gently patted his shoulder.
"You see, the main ideas of this game are all brought up by you. That's okay."
"You are now the chief designer of Tenda Games, so that's okay."
"The "Reincarnation of Forever" you were in charge of was a big success. Although it is not a fighting game, it is also a highly difficult operation game. It has certain commonalities. Isn't it okay?"
"Nothing is wrong, so what else do you have?"
Yu Fei was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that President Pei would actually sum up three points to prove the rationality of "Ghost 2" was handed over to Yu Fei. For a while, he didn't think of a good way to refute it.
Pei Qian smiled slightly: "Then come on!"
After that, he turned and left the meeting room, leaving Yu Fei with a blank face in the meeting room, as if he was daydreaming.
