Chapter 500: New VR Connection Mode (1st Update)
Chen Mo's remarks about the handheld computer once again set off a lot of waves, but there was a lot of hype on the Internet, but Chen Mo was very calm.
He doesn't need to argue with anything at all, as long as the handheld is made, so that players can actually play the finished game, it is enough to say it all.
When the time comes, players will know why Chen Mo is so sure that the handheld can have a place in the future.
However, handheld development is not something that can be completed overnight.
Just like mobile phone development, the speed of development often depends on a variety of factors, and the speed of different manufacturers varies.
Some manufacturers develop one a year, some develop one in half a year, and some faster manufacturers also make one in one or two months. Of course, that quality is often not guaranteed.
Those manufacturers who update every year, it's not that they can't do it fast, it's just that the technology hasn't reached it, and the new mobile phones made have no obvious advantages, so there's no need to do it so fast.
The technology in the parallel world is more developed, and the production time is correspondingly shorter, but considering that this handheld has many parts that need to be specially crafted, the time will be extended accordingly.
According to Zhou Jiangping's estimate, the first prototype will take at least two and a half months to complete, as for whether it can meet Chen Mo's requirements, it is difficult to say, if it can't be reached, it may have to be adjusted.
At this time, Chen Mo felt that it was acceptable. Super Mario Odyssey also takes time to make, and while it's not a VR game, there's a lot of content and some details that have to be tweaked over and over again, as long as they are done at roughly the same time.
……
In the experience store, Chen Mo was chatting with Zou Zhuo in the VR game experience area.
"How do I feel that the players in those two game pods have been playing for more than five hours, and it's really okay if they don't come out?" Chen Mo wondered.
Zou Zhuo asked, "Store manager, haven't you been paying attention to the news recently?" ”
Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, I've been busy with new games recently, and I haven't paid much attention to the news." What's wrong? ”
Zou Zhuo said: "It seems that there has been a technological innovation in the VR game cabin recently, on the one hand, the mental fatigue of players when playing VR games has decreased, and on the other hand, a new VR connection mode has been introduced, called the soothing connection mode. ”
"Soothing Connection Mode?"
Chen Mo was stunned, what kind of black technology is this?
Zou Zhuo explained: "It is said that this soothing connection mode is a new way to connect VR game warehouses as opposed to immersive experiences. In this way of connecting, the player's consciousness will not be as focused and even somewhat relaxed. For example, if immersive connection is a nightmare, then soothing connection mode is light sleep. ”
"Of course, the player's consciousness is still awake, but in a very relaxed state, and in this mode, the player will be in a special scene and soothing background music."
"In this environment, the player's spirit will be rested, and after an hour of soothing mode, the player's spirit will be greatly relieved, so that the experience of immersive mode can be carried out again."
"But even with this soothing connection, players can't spend more than seven hours a day in the pod. That is, after four hours of experience in Immersion mode, and then one hour of soothing mode, you can experience another two hours of Immersion mode. No matter how high it is, it won't work. ”
"This soothing mode can also be used as a way to reduce stress, for example, after players are tired from work, they can experience this soothing mode in the VR game cabin, which can be a good way to relieve their mental fatigue."
"I see." Chen Mo nodded.
He has been busy making handheld consoles and new game Odyssey recently, and he didn't pay attention to these, but he didn't expect this kind of black technology to appear.
Obviously, the biggest significance of this soothing mode is to extend the time players spend in the VR game pod, and to a certain extent, it can relieve the mental fatigue of the players.
However, Chen Mo is more interested in whether this soothing mode can also arrange some simple games for players?
Recently, the speed of gaining happiness and resentment has dropped significantly......
Chen Mo took out his mobile phone and flipped through the chat history in the chat group of the big guy designer.
The information in this chat group has always been 99+, and everyone is too capable of the group...... Chen Mo usually has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't bother to participate in the chat, so he doesn't pay attention to what everyone is discussing.
After opening the chat history and flipping through a few pages, Chen Mo really found everyone's discussion about this soothing mode.
There are also some introductions to this soothing mode on the Internet, but it is certainly not as reliable as the conclusions discussed by these professional designers.
Chen Mo took a general look, and it was obvious that the independent game designers in the chat group were very interested in this soothing mode, and thought that this was a very critical opportunity.
In soothing mode, the VR game pod will play some more soothing and melodious background music, in addition, there is a default scene of blue sky and white clouds.
The scenes and background music are all designed to allow players to relax their minds better.
However, in soothing mode, players can actually play the game as well.
Of course, the games in soothing mode are certainly not at all the same as normal games, and in this mode, they can only be very simple and very casual games. The system automatically detects the player's brain waves while playing these games, and only soothing games are approved and included in the in-game store in that mode.
That's where the opportunity comes.
Because soothing mode is a new VR connection mode, there are no better games in this mode, and players can only be in the default scene of the system, although it can also relieve the spirit, but it is inevitably a little boring.
These indie game designers are thinking that if they can develop a casual game that is more suitable for this type of connection, they will definitely be able to seize the market.
After all, there are no games in this connection mode now, just make one and players will play.
A lot of designers are already working on some games that work with soothing mode.
"Soothing mode? It's kind of interesting. ”
Chen Mo also became interested.
During this time, the happiness and resentment he gained have decreased a lot, because the two games "Human: Defeated" and "Normal Adventure" have been online for a while, and the more interested players have already played them, and they have basically experienced the core fun of the game, so the follow-up emotions have been relatively small.
But for Chen Mo, the happiness value and resentment value directly determine how many prizes he can draw, and the more the better.
There is still a period of time before "Super Mario Odyssey" is produced, and Chen Mo does not plan to wait during this time.
It just so happened that since the VR game cabin came out with this new soothing connection mode, Chen Mo also came up with a game that was very suitable for this mode.
