Pei Qian dislikes the old-fashioned text adventure games, but he knows very well in his heart that another meaning of old-fashioned is stability!

Word adventure games are a fairly old, yet fairly robust genre that has endured.

Pei Qian has memories of his past life, and he knows that "Chinese Parents" as an independent game is made in a way similar to text adventure games, and it is still a great success!

And Pei Qian didn't allow this kind of thing to happen.

So, he's going to ditch the text adventure game mode completely!

Pei Qian cleared his throat and continued:

"My idea is to make a three-dimensional flowchart."

"That's right, it's a complex structure like a spider's web."

"The grids on the flowchart are rooms one by one; The lines on the flowchart are corridors. ”

"Walking through the corridor is the process of selecting the flowchart branch; The different rooms are the result of this choice! ”

"In each room there are doors that lead to the hallway, representing different options for the player."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Everyone nodded, and then shook their heads in unison.

I understand, I don't understand!

Pei Qian described it like this, and most people can make up the form of this game in their brains.

Flowcharts drawn with software such as Visio are very common in games and many industries.

It is mainly used to show a certain logical relationship and program flow.

For example, a program is triggered from the initial condition, goes through a series of decisions, and finally outputs a result.

Visually, a flowchart is made up of countless squares and diamonds with text written on them, and there are many arrows connected to each other.

By replacing all the squares with three-dimensional rooms, large and small, and the arrows all with corridors, the whole flowchart becomes a huge maze.

And the protagonist walks through this huge labyrinth, each door represents a certain choice, and finally leads to an end room, which is a certain ending of the game.

What everyone doesn't understand is, what kind of game is this?

I've never seen it!

Not to mention at home, I have never heard of this kind of game abroad!

Will it work?

Make so many excellent 3D models, make such large scenes, and finally make a game that can only keep walking?

I always feel ...... Something seems wrong!

However, no one will question Pei Qian.

Don't understand?

If you don't understand, you're right!

Mr. Pei's thinking, how can ordinary people guess it?

Only Huang Sibo and Bao Xu, the two bigwigs, can barely guess Mr. Pei's design intentions, and the others are too far behind!

Lu Mingliang knew this very well, so he took a small notebook and tried his best to record it.

Fortunately, Mr. Pei said it in detail this time, so there is no need to guess.

As long as you strictly follow what Mr. Pei said, you must be right!

Lin Wan raised her hand and said, "Mr. Pei, I think this is a rather novel design!" However, players are just walking in this area, will it be a little boring? ”

Bored?

It's better to be bored!

That's what I wanted!

But Lin Wan's question made Pei Qian think of another hidden danger.

Wouldn't that be ...... Still not radical enough?

If it's just boring, I'm afraid it won't have an absolute dissuasion effect on players......

What if they like the feeling of making a choice, hold back their boredom, and just can't get to it?

Pei Qian's eyebrows lowered, and he fell into deep thought.

"There it is."

Pei Qian suddenly came up with a good idea: "Let's add narration to the game!" ”

"Narrator?" Lin Wan blinked, a little incomprehensible.

It's not uncommon to have narration in games. But that's mostly in the opening CG Riga.

If you add narration during the game, it can greatly affect the immersion.

Pei Qian smiled.

Why add narration?

It is to affect the player's immersion and make them unable to play!

Not only that, but I also had to smuggle things in the narration and mercilessly taunt the players, make them angry, and make them yell!

Make them feel that their personality has been insulted, so that they will give this game a bad review and not recommend it, and the game's reputation will collapse, isn't it not far from cool?

Imagine that every time a player makes a choice, the system narrator will sneer at the player......

A game that insults players!

Sour!

Players with a little backbone should be able to drop the mouse, right?

Pei Qian coughed lightly twice and explained, "Narration is a way for us to interact with players. ”

"It's really boring for players to run around inside all the time, because he's the equivalent of an outsider, a bystander, and easily loses interest."

"We use narration to communicate with him, for example, if he chooses the wrong option, it will trigger narration A, and if he chooses the correct option, it will trigger narration B."

"This way, players will have feedback every time they make a choice, and they won't feel lonely and bored!"

Lin Wan suddenly nodded violently.

Sure enough, it is Mr. Pei, such a good idea can be thought of!

What is a genius designer?

That's it!

Lin Wan couldn't help but recall her experience in Tianhuo Studio.

In Tianhuo Studios, this kind of discussion meeting is often held, brainstorming how some details of the game should be made.

However, the atmosphere is completely different!

Because Zhou Duyan will always ask: "Are there any other games with similar practices?" ”

If the answer is yes, then Zhou Duyan will analyze whether the game's approach is successful, and if it succeeds, it will be adopted.

If the answer is no, or if a game has done this and failed, then the idea will be cut without hesitation.

This is not an isolated case, most of the game companies in China do this!

To be on the safe side, most designers don't dare to make mistakes, preferring to learn from previous cases.

That's why many games become the same, as if carved out of a mold.

And Mr. Pei's approach made Lin Wan can't help but admire.

I don't care if there is a precedent for success, and I have the courage to be the first to eat crabs!

This pattern is several grades higher than Tianhuo Studio and Zhou Duyan!

Lin Wan is even more convinced that Pei Qian is a genius designer, and he didn't run!

As for Lu Mingming, he only had to take a small notebook and record it desperately.

He was just a little confused, and he didn't understand why Pei Qian did this.

But he knows very well that he has a few catties and taels, and he will never raise any objections to this, just do what Mr. Pei said!

Successfully convincing everyone, Pei Qian felt comfortable.

It's a good feeling!

This project is completely in your own hands!

"Three days to produce the design draft, a week to produce the whole process, two weeks to produce all the art resources, no problem, right?" Pei Qian looked at Lu Mingliang.

Lu Mingliang immediately nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, I promise to complete the task!" ”

After finishing speaking, he added with some weakness: "Mr. Pei, if you can't finish it, can you apply for overtime?" ”

Overtime is a privilege that only excellent employees can enjoy, and he is not sure if he is an excellent employee in Mr. Pei's mind.

Pei Qian thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, but not more than 9 o'clock in the evening." Although you are both young, you must also pay attention to your body. ”

"Yes!" Lu Mingliang was simply moved.

This kind of human care, in addition to Tengda, where is it?

This is not for Mr. Pei's liver and brain, is that still a person!
