To become the richest man from the beginning of the game

Chapter 1303 Tenda's Designers Everyone Can
Yan Qi couldn't help but frowned slightly: "Rules and tricks?"

He was very puzzled. I have been working in the game industry for so many years. Why haven't I heard of such a thing?
The game industry is the same as novels and movies. Strictly speaking, it is a creative industry, and creativity is very important.

As for creativity, what rules and knocks are there?Wasn't it all a flash of inspiration?

If ideas can be reproduced in batches, then the creation of the cultural industry will be simpler. It is nothing more than piles of labor around each idea.

The fact is that labor is never lacking, but creativity is always scarce and cannot be copied.

Therefore, in the game industry, those real game design masters are highly respected.

This is precisely their scarcity and irreplaceability.

Therefore, Yan Qi instinctively disbelieved Li Yada's words.

Li Yada saw Yan Qi's doubts, and knew that his doubts were actually normal.

Most outside designers, before cooperating with Mr. Pei, would think that creativity is based on a slap on the head, a flash of inspiration, and it is completely based on luck.

But all the designers brought out by Mr. Pei will change their perspective on the problem.

Indeed, creativity cannot be mass-produced, but this does not mean that there are no rules and tricks.

Mr. Pei's design method is actually to look at the problem from a different angle on the premise of complying with the rules of game design.

Coupled with rich experience, strong game design ability and precise control of players' mentality, miracles will appear.

Li Yada knew that if he told Yan Qi directly, he would not believe it.

After all, Li Yada's current character design is an ordinary employee of Chaolu Game Platform, so what he said is not convincing.

I can only continue to ask the "friend who works in Tenda" for help.

Li Yada pushed his glasses: "Actually, this is what I heard from my friend who works at Tenda. She has participated in Tenda's new game seminars and participated in the design process of several successful games."

"These rules and tricks are summed up by herself based on Mr. Pei's design process."

"Of course, this is actually not a secret within Tenda, and the designers in the game department basically understand it."

Yan Qi's expression changed instantly, from being skeptical just now to looking forward to it.

Is this Mr. Pei's design method?

That's right!

If others say that they have mastered the rules and tricks of game design, Yan Qi will definitely not believe it.

Because these people themselves can't produce excellent games stably, how convincing is this kind of statement?
It’s like someone telling you that he knows everything about the stock market, but when you ask carefully, his own income in the stock market is not as good as the interest on bank deposits. Isn’t this a liar?
In the entire domestic game circle, Yan Qi only obeys one person, and that is Boss Pei.

Because Mr. Pei is not just specialized in a certain type of game, but omnipotent.

I can make all kinds of games, and they are all very popular.

If Mr. Pei has mastered the rules and tricks of game design, then Yan Qi believes it.

Because Mr. Pei's achievements and contributions in this industry are enough to prove this point.

"Sister Li, tell me quickly, what are the rules and tricks?" Yan Qi showed strong curiosity.

Seeing Yan Qi's expression, Li Yada knew that the preparation was almost done.

Even if Yan Qi still doesn't believe it after listening to it, he will at least think about it carefully.

In this way, Li Yada's goal is achieved, at least he won't play the piano to the cow.

"In Tenda, every time Mr. Pei decides to make a new game, he will give a few particularly unreasonable requirements, so that the designers can reproduce the whole picture of the game based on these requirements."

"The designers finally determined the final form of this game in Mr. Pei's mind based on repeated thinking and deliberation on these requirements, and designed it."

Yan Qi was stunned for a moment: "A particularly unreasonable request?"

Li Yada nodded: "Taking "Return to the Shore" as an example, Mr. Pei put forward five requirements: first, Chinese background, a large number of puzzles and text content in ancient Chinese; second, extremely high difficulty; third, big scene action game; fourth, the longest refund time limit; fifth, the name of the game is "Return to the Shore."

"After giving these requirements, Mr. Pei didn't ask about the specific design of this game, but let the designers play freely."

"Just after the game demo was made, Mr. Pei adjusted the numerical difficulty and added the weapon 'Purdue'."

Speaking of this passage, Li Yada's memory is still fresh.

When "Return to the Shore" was first established, Lu Mingliang was still there, and Li Yada participated in this meeting as an ordinary designer.

At that time, after listening to these few requests from Boss Pei, she was at a loss and could not think of the possibility of this game becoming popular.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for him to become the main designer and take over the game himself.

What's more, I didn't expect that now I actually came to the Zhaolu game platform to explain to Yan Qi the method of involving Mr. Pei using "Return to the Shore" as an example.

Yan Qi frowned slightly, and listened carefully, with a very serious expression, as if he didn't want to miss a single word.

His brain was running fast, thinking about the meaning behind these five requirements.

At that time, Lu Mingliang and Li Yada were dumbfounded. They didn't understand Mr. Pei's design intention at all, and even continued to develop it in such a daze. It wasn't until the game demo came out that they analyzed Mr. Pei's design intention clearly.

Although Yan Qi did not master the "standard analysis method of Mr. Pei's intention", he has played "Return to the Shore" and analyzed it in depth. He is familiar with the details of this game and even a series of events when it was first released.

Using the finished product to compare these requirements is equivalent to looking at the standard answer first and then the content of the question. It is naturally much easier to interpret than Li Yada at that time.

"The plot content written in Chinese background and ancient Chinese is to highlight the cultural connotation and stand up to the label of 'domestic action game'; on the one hand, the ultra-high difficulty is to allow players to challenge themselves and make the game more recognizable. In order to break the dimensional wall..."

Yan Qi went through it from beginning to end, and found that these five requirements of Mr. Pei are really indispensable. From game design to initial publicity, they are all related.

After the demo came out, the difficulty adjustment and the addition of the weapon "Purdue" played a finishing touch, making "Return to the Shore" from an excellent work to a masterpiece level.

But after the analysis, Yan Qi was even more puzzled.

"Sister Li, I can probably guess the reason for these requests."

"But... it's obvious that Mr. Pei has already planned the final form of the game from the very beginning, right?"

"It can only be said that Boss Pei is a genius. He is too strong. The other designers of Tengda rely on Boss Pei's ideas to make these games."

"How can there be the 'rules and tricks' you mentioned just now?"

Li Yada smiled slightly: "At the beginning, I had the same thoughts as you."

"But after thinking about it carefully, I think it's not the case."

"I ask you two questions."

"First, Mr. Pei only made a few requests, but he never asked about the details of the game design. Then, how can Mr. Pei be sure that the game will be the same as he expected after it is made?"

"Second, how did Mr. Pei come up with these requirements?"

Yan Qi looked blank and fell into deep thought.

Yes, how can Mr. Pei be sure that the game will be the same as he expected after it is made?
Yan Qi had indeed deduced President Pei's intentions for several conditions based on the finished product of the game "Return to the Shore", but that was equivalent to an afterthought.

In fact, just starting with these few conditions, the general direction is set, but there are many ways to do the details.

After Mr. Pei gave these conditions, he ignored them. How did he know that the game would not go wrong?
There are only two explanations: first, he believes that designers are connected with him, so they must be able to make the game he envisioned through these conditions; second, he may feel that it doesn't matter how the details are done, as long as these few If the main point is not deviated, then no matter how the details change, "Turn Back to the Shore" will still be "Turn Back to the Shore".

Possibly, it's both.

What made Yan Qi more concerned was Li Yada's second question.

How did Mr. Pei come up with these key points?
It definitely didn't come out of thin air with a slap on the head, there must be a source.

Suddenly, Yan Qi had a flash of inspiration: "You mean, these requirements are not only Mr. Pei's control over the general direction of this game, but also the cornerstone of Mr. Pei's design of this game, from which we can analyze Mr. Pei's source of inspiration?"

Li Yada smiled and nodded, quite satisfied with Yan Qi's understanding: "That's right."

The expression on Yan Qi's face was even more shocked.

It turns out that the production process of Tenda games is like this?
Boss Pei just gave a few requirements, and then the person in charge perfected the entire game based on these requirements.

And these requirements are not only Mr. Pei's control over the general direction of the game, but also the cornerstone of the game he deduced from the source of inspiration.

Why did Boss Pei do this?

Obviously, on the one hand, it is to train and train the designers under his hands, so that they will not become tool people, but each can become a master of game design; on the other hand, because Mr. Pei is busy with work, there are too many things to consider. If there are too many, it is simply unrealistic to design games by hand.

It's no wonder that Tenda's games are so prolific, and it's no wonder Mr. Pei can produce various high-quality games so frequently while handling various industries.

It's all because of this development model that is very different from other game companies!
Yan Qi had been wondering before, he was also a producer, and Mr. Pei was also a producer, why Mr. Pei only had one good game in a few months, and it was endlessly released, while he only made one, and he was exhausted and exhausted ?
Obviously, there is not only a gap between the two in terms of design ability and management ability, but also a huge difference in the most fundamental concept!
After confirming this, the next thing is even more critical.

By reverse analyzing these requirements, which are the cornerstone of game design, we can analyze the source of President Pei's inspiration.

And this is exactly the "rules" and "tricks" that Li Yada emphasized before!
