Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Although interactive movie games are not as exciting as shooting games, if the plot is done well, you can maximize the immersion of VR games. Moreover, interactive movie games have fewer operations and a relatively stable perspective, which is more in line with the characteristics of VR.

The success rate of these two game types seems too high to be done!

Although real-time strategy games seem to have a low probability of success, after all, the lessons of "Mission and Choice" have just passed. Pei Qian has a little bit of PTSD for this type of game and still doesn't consider it.

Pei Qian waved his hand: "Nothing."

"The types of games you are talking about are not effective if the capacity is small, and the equipment is difficult to support if the capacity is large."

"After all, the equipment hasn't been developed yet, and it's not clear how high resolution it can achieve. Most of the types of games you mentioned are realistic and require high screen accuracy to produce effects."

Lin Wan nodded, thinking that Mr. Pei was right.

Especially for interactive movie games, if the audience sees a bunch of mosaics, it will definitely seriously affect the game experience.

"Then... President Pei, if the realistic style is not good, then you can only do it in a cartoon style."

"But, VR games don't seem to match the cartoon style? What kind of games can you do?"

In the case of relatively low device performance and low screen resolution, it is a more convenient way to make cartoon style. For example, the excellent "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" gives a very delicate feeling even when the Switch screen is only 720P.

And this style has distinctive features, which makes it easy to impress players.

The only problem is that the types of games that can be selected for this style of painting are relatively limited. Of course, it is not completely impossible to use this style of painting for FPS games and interactive movie games, but it will be a little worse. Always the pursuit of excellence.

Pei Qian said: "To sum up, this game must meet the following characteristics:"

"We have to fully consider the relatively weak performance of VR equipment at this stage, so we use cartoon style, and the capacity of the game should not be too large."

"Moreover, considering that VR equipment at the current stage can easily cause players to feel dizzy, the viewing angle of the game should not be changed too fast, and it is better to be smoother, with telescopic viewing angle as the main focus.

"The operation of the game should not be too difficult. Don't create obstacles to the player because of the operation."

Lin Wan thoughtfully: "It sounds like it would be better to make a casual game, but there are some simpler casual games in VR games, but these games seem to have received mediocre response."

"In terms of the current equipment functions, casual games are indeed the most secure, but they are not easy to shine, right?"

"If we make a VR goggles by ourselves, but the game on sale is not attractive enough, it is likely to lower the sales of the glasses, which in turn will affect the sales of the game, then it will be troublesome."

Pei Qian said: "Other casual games have received mediocre response, mainly due to the lack of designer abilities, too little investment, and insufficient depth of gameplay. If we invest a lot of money to make a game with sufficient depth, then Games can drive the sales of VR glasses and successfully open up this market!"

Lin Wan nodded slightly, thoughtfully.

Mr. Pei’s analysis made her feel quite reasonable inexplicably.

Pei Qian continued: "My idea is to make a casual development game. Players are born on a deserted island and can pull weeds, plant flowers, cut trees, and fish on the deserted island. At the same time, they can also visit other players' games. Go shopping on the island."

"Then do some in-depth development of the gameplay to maintain the stickiness of the players, as far as possible, in the case of only this game, our VR glasses equipment is also attractive enough."

"Of course, you can think more about the specific details. The design of this game is still based on you."

Pei Qian's remarks are 70% true and 3% false. Although they sound reasonable, they are actually not feasible.

Making casual gameplay deep enough so that players can always be addicted to it is simple to say, but in fact it is too difficult.

The threshold for casual games is very low. There are so many casual games in the world every year. How many ones can really stand out?

If it's on the computer or mobile phone, as long as casual games are sold cheaper, they won't worry about finding a market.

But the problem is that on the VR side, wanting to play this game means that you have to spend two to three thousand yuan to buy a VR glasses. Unless this game is particularly good, who would be willing to spend this money?

So Pei Qian's remarks sounded nothing wrong, but the chance of real success was very low.

Lin Chang frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "President Pei, it sounds like something is wrong? These ideas seem to be a bit too ideal, and you have to consider the actual situation..."

Lin Wan immediately interrupted him: "If you don't understand, don't mix things up. I think President Pei's idea is really new and worth a try."

Lin Chang: "..."

Pei Qian smiled slightly and it was done!

As long as Lin Wan approves the design plan, then everything will be easy to handle.

Lin Chang really didn't understand games. Although instinctively it seemed that there was a problem, since President Pei and Lin Wan had reached an agreement, there was nothing to say.

"Okay, then the last question, how much investment?"

The development of games and VR glasses requires money.

Chixing Studio is jointly funded by Shenhua Group and Tenda. The shares of both parties are the same, so the investment should be the same. Of course, considering Lin Wan's relationship, Lin Chang felt that it would be perfectly fine for Shenhua to pay more.

Lin Wan estimated it a little, and said: "For casual games, you don't need to invest too much, ten million is almost enough."

"As for VR glasses, it is estimated that 15 million is almost the same if they are completely self-developed, but it will be much cheaper if they are only used as a headset, and a few million should be no problem."

There are three main components of VR glasses, namely a head-mounted display, a handle and a base station locator. If you want to save costs, you can only develop a headset, and the handle and base station locator are all ready-made abroad.

At that time, you only need to sell your own headset with other brands of handles and base station locators.

Lin Chang nodded slightly, thinking that this investment was completely within the acceptable range, even if he was hit by water, he would not feel distressed.

With the size of the Shenhua Group, the mobile phone department has more than this money.

However, Pei Qian shook his head and said decisively: "That's not good!"

"Everything must be done to be the best. The key to the success of Tenda games lies in excellence!"

"I would rather spend twice the money to make a 100-point work, and never save half of the cost to make an 80-point work. Because the former will be remembered by the players for a long time, while the latter Will soon be submerged in many excellent games."

"In my opinion, the development cost of the game has doubled to 20 million."

"The development cost of VR glasses is rounded up to 20 million yuan."

He looked at Lin Chang: "If you think the cost is a bit high, Tenda will have to bear more and there is no problem at all..."

Lin Chang hurriedly expressed his position: "How can it work! We still follow what we said before, half of the family."

Originally, Lin Chang felt that it was unnecessary to invest so much money in VR~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Now the whole market has been opened up completely, not even budding, and the risk of investing so much money is too great.

But President Pei said, "It doesn't matter if Tenda takes more responsibility", and Lin Chang definitely can't hold back.

Because President Pei took the lead in setting up this company, there was some intention to help, and if President Pei was asked to pay more, it was something that someone did?

Lin Chang must resolutely express his stance, Shenhua must also pay how much money will always be paid, otherwise it will be too uninteresting.

In this way, all the preliminary preparations for Chixing Studio were finalized.

Next, Lin Wan will recruit and prepare the game design plan. As for VR glasses, you can cooperate with the mobile phone department of Shenhua Group.

Pei Qian stood up: "In this case, the preparatory work has been completed. I have something to do in the afternoon, so I will leave first. If you have any questions, you are welcome, please feel free to ask me."

Lin Wan also stood up and said, "Okay President Pei, I must take Chixing Studio to make this game good!"
