Chapter 1128 Mr. Pei's suggestion
Pei Qian looked at the others again, and everyone's expressions were different.

Lao Song and Cai Jiadong have not dealt with President Pei very much, so the expressions on their faces are a little proud at this time.

They were responsible for the VR glasses and the game "Animal Island" respectively. Now that the finished product is out, they feel very proud, and even can't wait to show it off in front of President Pei.

Even President Pei would be very satisfied when he saw this kind of finished product?
As for Lin Wan, Ye Zhizhou and others, because they have cooperated with President Pei many times, their expressions are relatively calm.

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

President Pei must 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 perfect level, it is not particularly surprising to President Pei, because all this must be expected by President Pei.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Pei Qian was silent.

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

The character design and image cannot be collapsed!

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

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

"However, I have two suggestions for small changes. Whether or not to change them is up to you."

Lin Wan's eyes lit up instantly.

Sure enough, President Pei still saw the problem and came to give pointers!
She nodded immediately: "Mr. Pei, say it."

After thinking for a moment, Pei Qian said, "The first suggestion is the logo on the forehead position of this VR glasses."

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

Everyone was stunned.

Especially Lao Song and Cai Jiadong were very confused.

What does it mean?
Tell the manufacturer that it is not difficult to change the pattern slightly, after all, the VR glasses have not yet entered the mass production stage.

And even if it enters the mass production stage, there is no big problem. The hexagonal part can be removed. This is because Lao Song considers that new models may be released in the future or a cooperative version with other IPs, so this location may be printed with other logo, made some detachable module designs.

But the question is... what's the point of that?

Pei Qian didn't explain much, because his original thoughts couldn't be said.

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

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

After Pei Qian saw the forehead guard of the VR glasses, especially the very flat hexagon, he thought of the ninja forehead guard in a certain anime.

In that anime, a horizontal line was drawn on the forehead, which means that the ninja had a big problem and betrayed the original ninja village.

Therefore, Pei Qian hopes that all VR glasses can draw such a line, which means that this product is destined to have a big problem, to fail, and to betray Chixing Studio.

It's just that there is 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 looked at it for a long time.

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

"Understood, this line changes the structure and layout of the forehead guard pattern to a certain extent. The logo of Chixing Studio is displayed in the center of the hexagon, and the sides of the logo appear empty, and it does not seem to be related to the hexagonal guard. It creates a great sense of interaction.”

"But after drawing this line, the entire hexagon and the logo of Chixing Studio are integrated into one, which looks more pleasing to the eye!"

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

"Other companies print their own logos on their own products. This behavior is too common. In fact, except for some companies with their own style, other companies, no matter how good their logos are designed, will not look good when they are printed. Where to go."

"Drawing a horizontal line in this way is completely different 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 a product that has surpassed the times, and the VR glasses we developed have made many subversive designs, which are just right in the spiritual core. It fits perfectly!"

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

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

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

"This is probably the finishing touch, right? A true design master, as long as a horizontal line, can also turn corruption into magic?"

The crowd was amazed.

Even Meng Chang was a little conquered.

Originally, he didn't think there was anything to add a line, but after 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 twice and continued to talk, for fear that this group of people would continue to make up their minds and make up for something extraordinary.

"Second suggestion, I hope to be able to do a little less novice guidance in these small games."

This is more simple and crude, and the purpose is clear.

"Animal Island VR" provides a new game interaction mode, and the learning cost of players will be very high.

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

However, there is currently no well-known VR game with a wide range of players to formulate the operating standards of VR games, so after coming to "Animal Island VR", how to draw bows and arrows, how to throw rods and fish, players have to start from scratch. study.

Pei Qian did not expect that there would be no novice guidance at all, and it would be impossible to persuade all players to quit.

Because a game is not well played, the game may be judged as a semi-finished product by the system. What should I do if it is not settled at that time?
But it's okay to reduce some beginner's guidelines a little bit.

If you can persuade a few players, just persuade a few players, one is not too little, and [-] is not too much.

Anyway, as long as the player can be persuaded, that is a good design.

This time, everyone was even more confused.

This behavior is even more counter-intuitive, because all game designers will understand a basic design concept when they first enter the industry: the more detailed and rich the novice guide, the better.

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

People's game IQs are different. Some people are naturally smart and can play the game as soon as they get started; while some people are very ignorant at the novice stage and can't even perform simple operations.

Moreover, sometimes the player is not stupid, it is simply that 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.Once they get stuck without adequate novice guidance, they may be lost.

Therefore, the novice guide is sometimes very mentally retarded, and it seems that it is prepared for three-year-old children, which is also impossible.

Lin Wan frowned again and thought hard.

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

Pei Qian hurriedly raised his hand and interrupted her: "Just understand, you don't need to say it every time!"

Good guy, now the misinterpretation of what I said is to be misinterpreted face to face, instant misinterpretation, not overnight at all, is this okay?
How you like to interpret it is your business, don't say it in front of me, please stop me!
Lin Wan immediately understood: "Okay President Pei."

"Uh...there's one more question."

"Would you like to give this glasses a name?"

Pei Qian was a little speechless.

Why is it all given to me now?

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

But after thinking about it, it doesn't matter, who made himself a little genius?And if you name it yourself, you can get a lot of luck.

"OK then."

Pei Qian thought about it for a while. Most of the names of VR glasses in his impression are in a single English language, and they all have a certain meaning, which is more compelling.

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

The names given by others are similar to quest, index, and rift.

"Then...let's call it doubt."

Pei Qian's original intention was that the success of these glasses is full of doubts, and it is impossible to succeed.

For the word "question", using question or problem has a neutral connotation, and using doubt may be more negative.

It means completely uncertain and unreliable.

Lin Wan nodded slightly.

Although she still can't understand the deep meaning of the name well, she will definitely figure it out later.

"Anyway, thank you so much, President Pei!"

"It's like turning the clouds away and seeing the sun."

Pei Qian waved his hand, saying that trivial matters are not worth mentioning.

"Okay, I'll go first if I have nothing else to do."

After Hold stopped the scene, Pei Qian waved and took Meng Chang away.

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

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

And it's not an innocuous little problem, but a key problem that improves a lot after getting rid of it!
This made them sigh with emotion, as expected of President Pei!
I've always heard that Mr. Pei was so hyped, and even a little bit unconvinced, but now it seems that it's no exaggeration at all!
Besides the two of them, Meng Chang was also shocked.

Originally, Meng Chang had already looked at President Pei with the mentality that he didn't think the funeral was too big, but now, he didn't dare to make trouble at all.

Needless to say, the first suggestion, everyone present has already given the answer.

Although there is no clear explanation for the second suggestion, judging from Lin Wan's expression, it is obviously a huge improvement to the game.

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

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

Pei Qian said in his heart.

Which eye do you see I'm making suggestions, improving the product?

The two suggestions I made are all trying to reduce the difficulty of next month's publicity plan!
It's just that they understand a little bit of a deviation...

But this kind of thing, I can't explain it, I can only keep silent and refuse to answer.

Seeing President Pei's unpredictable expression, Meng Chang was more certain of his guess.

Sure enough, Pei always uses reverse propaganda to prove to me, but also makes VR glasses and games explode and make money normally!
If the sales of the game are not good in order to prove that the reverse propaganda is feasible, it will obviously be a loss for President Pei.

Only when the purpose of reverse propaganda is completed, and the VR glasses and games make a lot of money, that is the ultimate goal of President 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 scheming appearance, he obviously didn't take this matter as a problem at all.

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

Let's honestly watch President Pei's operation on the side!
……

After Mr. Pei left, Cai Jiadong asked: "Why did Mr. Pei let us do less guidance for beginners? It seems... a little out of common sense."

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

Lin Wan nodded: "That's up to me."

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

"But how could President Pei be an ordinary designer?"

"I must have thought of a higher level!"

"Mr. Pei said this, definitely not to let us give up the novice guide and persuade players to quit."

"Mr. Pei means, let's cut down those complicated steps while completing the beginner's guide, 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 text or voice, but to let the player see something, immediately use common sense to judge and know how to use it!"

"For example, put a few raw apples far from the fire, and then put a few ripe apples next to the fire. There is no need to tell the player 'the fire can bake apples', the player will immediately understand the game when they see this scene. mechanism."

"The same is true of "Animal Island VR". If we use interrupted voice or text to teach players, it will be very cumbersome, and secondly, it will make players feel more dramatic."

"If we use a more natural way to guide players, it is both concise and allows players to learn these operations naturally in the process of experiencing the fun of the game. The most important thing is that this teaching method can also show the superiority of VR games. !"

"Take archery as an example. In computer games, which button will open the bow and shoot the arrow depends entirely on the designer's idea, and it is difficult for players to guess. Unless many archery games are fixed with the right mouse button to shoot arrows, players will form memory."

"But in VR games, there is no need to teach at all. Players will naturally grope to use the left hand to open the bow, the right to shoot the arrow, and let go of the arrow."

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

"For example, try to make the player see the bow and arrow feathers that he carries on his back and stretch out to his right shoulder, implying that he can draw arrows directly from the right shoulder; let a small animal that can hunt make a hunting action to guide the player Do something similar."

"Ingeniously integrating the guidance into the game content, allowing players to naturally explore and think about how to do it, doesn't this also give players a great sense of accomplishment?"

Cai Jiadong suddenly realized: "So it is!"

"If you change a game mode, you will naturally have to change the way the novice guides you."

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

Lao Song could not help but nod his head.

Although he didn't understand game design, after hearing what Lin Wan said, he immediately felt that President Pei was too powerful.

"but……"

"I don't really like the name doubt. It'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: "President Pei's name must have some special meaning in it."

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

"When President Pei's true meaning is revealed, this name will definitely be impressive!"
