, The fastest update to become the richest man in the latest chapter from the beginning of the game!
Zhou Muyan hesitated for a while and then said: "President Pei, I have some doubts, can you please explain a little bit?"
"It's not that I don't believe you, but I just want to learn more advanced design concepts."
He was not embarrassed to say clearly, but he just didn't believe it.
It's not that you don't believe in President Pei's abilities, nor is it that you don't believe in President Pei's ethics. The key is ethics, which is not absolute.
There is a saying called the difference between closeness and closeness.
When President Pei was designing games for Tenda, he must have gone all out, but now President Pei is only responsible for one idea. The specific development and operation are done by Tianhuo Studio and Longyu Group. President Pei can still do his best. What?
Will you come up with your best idea?
Will you thoroughly analyze the market situation and carefully dig out those details?
What's more, as an FPS game, "Bullet Marks 2" originally constitutes a direct competition with "Sea Fortress". If too many users are grabbed, will it affect "Sea Fortress" and make its revenue drop sharply?
Taking these factors into account, President Pei has a little reservation in the design of "Bullet Mark 2", which is completely understandable.
You can't ask this kind of thing too straightforwardly, but you still have to ask.
After all, this game has to invest millions of dollars to make it casually, and it is tens of millions to grasp the details. If so much money is really lost, it would be very distressing.
Pei Qian laughed, not panicking at all.
He has experienced similar scenes too many times, and if everyone does not ask, he feels unsteady.
All you have to do is ask, all kinds of fallacies will definitely come with your mouth open, and we are guaranteed to arrange for you to be submissive.
Pei Qian smiled and said, "Where is there any doubt?"
Zhou Muyan thought for a while, and said, "First of all, the feel of the game."
"At the beginning, "Bullet Marks" compared with "Sea Fortress", there is a big disadvantage that the feel is too close to the "Anti-Terrorism Project", which makes it less comfortable for novices to play."
"I was always thinking that when I do FPS games in the future, I must learn from "Sea Fortress" to lower the threshold of novices as much as possible."
"Why does the feel of "Bullet Marks" continue?"
After the failure of "Bullets", Zhou Muyan almost led the designers of the entire project team to study "Fortress on the Sea", and many problems were analyzed thoroughly.
Learning successful experience is a necessary ability for every designer.
Therefore, Zhou Muyan felt that Mr. Pei's statement was somewhat unreasonable.
Pei Qian was silent for a moment, and said: "This time and then also. "Sea Fortress", after all, it is the old calendar two or three years ago. If you learn it again, wouldn't it be a boat for a sword?"
Zhou Muyan's mouth twitched slightly: "Then President Pei, do you mean that the design of "Bullet Marks" is actually two or three years ahead of the time? It was only because of the untimely birth that it failed?"
Although this statement is outrageous, President Pei seems to mean it!
Otherwise, why should the feel of "Bullet Marks" continue after two or three years?
Pei Qian smiled awkwardly and politely: "Well... the analysis game cannot be viewed in this static and one-sided way."
"Some trends are a reincarnation. For example, in the fashion industry, when the new trend reaches the extreme, it often turns back to the retro, but this kind of retro is not a comprehensive reproduction and imitation of the previous, but a spiral upward and beyond..."
"You think this mode of "Sea Fortress" has been played by players for two or three years. Many players are tired and their level has improved. Is it necessary to change to something more difficult?"
"So, to simply say that your design is untimely, in fact, it is not accurate. It should be said that you have chosen the wrong coordinates on the spiral of continuous evolution. It is okay to retreat or rise a bit. It’s trendy."
Pei Qian didn't dare to talk about those special details, because the more he said it, the easier it would be to reveal himself.
On the one hand, he did not master too much professional knowledge in this area, and on the other hand, the more details and clarity, the easier it is to reveal flaws.
It's like when a fortune teller is fooling people, he must not say things too clearly, he must talk in a big and empty way.
Even sometimes it makes sense how to explain it.
If there is a particularly accurate result, wouldn't it be easy to be directly slapped in the face?
After listening to Mr. Pei’s explanation, all the designers hurriedly bowed their heads to record in their own notebooks.
Sure enough, President Pei speaks differently from other designers, obviously not at the same level!
According to martial arts, when discussing martial arts, ordinary masters tend to be obsessed with skills and certain specific martial arts moves, so they are very detailed.
But the real masters have already mastered all kinds of moves, so what details do they need to talk about?
At this time, it may be some concepts about martial arts. On the surface, it looks like something big and empty, but it represents a higher realm and has a strong guiding role.
As Mr. Pei said, "the trend is in a constantly changing spiral" is enough to have a significant guiding significance for everyone to select projects and study market trends.
Zhou Muyan nodded slightly, his conviction greatly increased.
In fact, he asked the question "Is "Bullet Mark" leading by two or three years", and whether Mr. Pei answered yes or no, he would not be particularly satisfied.
If the answer is yes, then Zhou Muyan will feel that this is perfunctory, he has a very clear understanding of how many catties he is; if he says no, it will contradict Mr. Pei’s previous statement.
But Mr. Pei’s answer lies between "yes" and "no". The trend is not a straight line, but a spiral. The design of "Bullet Marks" is actually close to the trend in a straight line, but in fact it is far away. .
As expected to be President Pei, any explanation is so philosophical!
Zhou Muyan immediately extended this sentence: "Then President Pei, do you mean that you want to follow the design of "Bullet Marks", but you can't copy it completely, but on the basis of continuing this concept. Make some changes?"
Pei Qian: "Um... yes."
He originally wanted to say no, because once this thing was modified, it might not be easy to lose money, but then he thought about it again, he just said it for a long time, isn't that what Zhou Muyan understood?
At this time, I can only bite the bullet and admit it.
However, he added another sentence: "But we must pay attention to this kind of modification. You must be careful, even if you make a little less, you can't go through it."
"It's too late."
"It is necessary to keep the original core as much as possible, and the degree of this must be grasped by yourself."
This can be regarded as a slight remedy, allowing the game to stay on this wrong path as much as possible for a while.
Zhou Muyan nodded, he has no problem with this, and President Pei's exquisite explanation completely convinced him.
But there are other problems.
Zhou Muyan coughed slightly, and looked at Sun Xi: "About the charging model of "Bullet Mark 2"...What do you think of Sun Xi? This is no outsider, so you can talk freely."
Sun Xi was very smart, and she understood it at the time.
This is for me to question!
Obviously, Zhou Muyan is really in doubt, but Zhou Muyan is a producer after all, and he can't always ask questions like a schoolboy, that's not a card!
What's more, other designers are sitting on the sidelines here with cold eyes. It's not plausible to ask Mr. Zhou to ask questions.
Therefore, at this time, the younger brother still has to stand up to help the older brother.
If Sun Xi dared to answer "I think Mr. Pei's design is quite good, there is no problem", then he is afraid that he can pack his things and leave tomorrow.
It just so happened that Sun Xi did have questions, or that the more normal designers in this room all have similar questions.
"President Pei, I do have some questions about the charging model."
"The charges for the props of "Bullet Mark" have been criticized. This model can no longer be used, and a new charging model must be changed. We all know this."
"But why not use the charging model of "Sea Fortress"?"
"The mode of "Sea Fortress" game free + fire unicorn heavy krypton has proved to be a very successful mode, it is indeed very popular, and the players have basically accepted it."
"The charging model will not be suspected of reference or plagiarism. Players will not feel disgusted because the charging models of the two games are similar."
"At this time, why not use the charging model of "Sea Fortress" selling epic weapons, but sell skins?"
"After all, in FPS games, players can't see their bodies, all they can see are the guns in their hands. The effect of selling skins is very different from MOBA games."
Sun Xi's meaning is very clear, and the charging model is not a copy, why not use the method that players are already familiar with?
For example, there is already a MOBA game on the market that sells skins for a fee, and another MOBA game is released. Isn't there any skin charging? Should we do other charging points?
That obviously makes no sense.
The same is true for FPS games. Facts have proved that this group of players particularly accept the charging mode of "Sea Fortress", which is a free game plus limited epic weapons. It also satisfies civilian players and local tyrants. The income is good and the reputation is good.
Moreover, the charging model is not compatible with the "spiral upward" of the game design concept. There is no skill, it is simply a matter of choice.
Why do you want to change it?
Pei Qian was silent for a moment, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com said: "There is indeed no plagiarism in the charging model of the game, but if there is a sense of sight, it will still arouse the players' disgust."
"Time charging, item charging, skin charging and other modes are used too much in other games, and they have been regularized, so it won't make people feel strange to use them again."
"But the epic weapon of "Sea Fortress" is only used by itself, and most of the other games have failed after being used."
"So this sense of sight is still offensive to players."
"Moreover, the charging mode of "Sea Fortress" is related to its gameplay. Its feel takes care of novice players. So overall it is a less'professional' shooting game. It doesn't matter if it is a little unfair. Players compare it. tolerant."
"But if it's a game with a relatively'professional' positioning, then any unfairness may cause the players to resent."
"When these two dislikes are superimposed, the first impression of "Bullet Marks 2" will be very bad."
