Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Latest URL: Thinking about it this way, Mr. Pei makes a lot of sense.

All previous successful projects did not rely on ‘stability’ to succeed.

In fact, whether it is a Tenda game or a Zangyang game, every time the game is made is a slant and a great risk, but every time it is a great success.

On the other hand, those outside game companies that blindly seek stability, make small repairs to old games, exchange art resources, and sell them as new games. They blindly seek stability and make money, but often have a mediocre response and poor sales.

Because seeking stability is a kind of standing still.

When other game makers are seeking innovation and change, seeking stability is tantamount to lagging behind others, and past successful experiences will soon fall behind.

Lin Chang is also in awe. Although he doesn't know the game industry very well, Mr. Pei's remarks seem to contain profound philosophy.

"What do you mean, President Pei?" Lin Chang asked.

Pei Qian coughed lightly and said, "In my opinion, the more a new company is, the more aggressive and innovative it must be."

"If the new company is set up at the beginning, it is thinking of following the old ways and copying the previous successful experience, then there will be no courage to innovate in the future, and it will only deviate more and more on the road of'mixing.

"So, whether you are in Wangyang Games or Chixing Studio, how to design or how to design, forget the fact that you are in a new company."

"It's still the same as before, first decide the game type, step by step."

Lin Wan nodded: "Well, in this case, there are actually only a few options. Since you don't make mobile games, there are only stand-alone games and online games on the computer side."

"According to Mr. Pei, if you want to challenge yourself, you must work hard to make a stand-alone game similar to "Looking Back", "Struggle", and "Mission and Choice"."

Pei Qian pondered for a moment: "Is there really only these few roads to go? Think about it again?"

It's okay for Lin Wan not to give an example. This example evokes Pei Qian's sad past.

Each of these three stand-alone games is more invested than one, but each one is more profitable.

Although it is not enough to prove that this is a road of failure, Pei Qian does not want to go it again in a short time.

So, we have to find another way.

Lin Wan showed a very confused expression: "Huh? But these are the types of games. The computer side is nothing more than stand-alone and online games. Mobile games..."

Pei Qian prompted: "Haven't you heard of...VR games recently?"

Lin Chang and Lin Wan were stunned, and looked at each other: "VR games?"

Lin Wan hesitated and said, "I have heard it before, but... this kind of game is still only a concept? Except for some foreign manufacturers who have done individual exploratory and conceptual VR games, it is basically No one will do it..."

Lin Chang was at a loss, and silently took out his mobile phone to search for the keyword "VR game".

Last night, Pei Qian had searched for some relevant information on the Internet and learned about the development of VR technology in this world.

In a nutshell, the VR technology in this world is one or two years faster than in his memory. Compared with the development of mobile phone technology in this world, VR technology is actually relatively slow.

A more critical node regarding VR technology is the birth of the first modern VR glasses device. In Pei Qian’s memory, it should be the Oculus Rift, which was originally launched in 2012. This is a crowdfunding of 2.5 million dollars. Since this year, the public’s interest in VR has gradually been ignited.

According to the development in Pei Qian's impression, it was not until 2016 that VR equipment from major manufacturers, such as HTCvive, PSVR, etc., went on the market, and the VR craze really burned.

For this reason, 2016 is called the first year of VR games by many people.

It's just that the development of the VR industry quickly encountered a bottleneck, and the heat gradually faded due to technical reasons, but that is all for later.

The current situation in this world is roughly equivalent to the situation in Pei Qian's memory from 2013 to 2014.

There are already companies in foreign countries that have developed usable VR glasses through crowdfunding last year, but this product, let alone domestic, has not attracted much attention abroad.

On the one hand, because the technology at this time still has certain flaws, the resolution is relatively low. The resolution of the monocular is only 640*800, and after the two eyes are merged, it is only 1280*800. The grid is very obvious, and it is full. The screen mosaic has large pixels, and the motion tracking is also very imperfect.

On the other hand, it is because the current VR technology can provide too little content, whether it is games or movies, there are not too many manufacturers to develop and shoot.

With no equipment and no content, the vast majority of consumers naturally have no incentive to spend $300 on such a toy.

In China, the VR field is still blank. There is no company producing VR glasses or developing VR games. There is even no cheap VR alternative of "hard box + mobile phone".

Pei Qian considers it this way: According to the development speed of the entire VR industry, it will take at least three years to reach the enthusiasm of the "first year of VR".

In the past three years, the entire market has shrunk, and the popularity will not be very high.

Moreover, the prerequisite for playing VR games is to buy a VR glasses, the price is at least two to three thousand; and to experience large-scale VR games smoothly, a high-end computer is needed, which may cost at least six to seven thousand.

This kind of investment is unacceptable to most players.

Therefore, Pei Qian thinks that it should be foolproof to engage in VR games at the present moment!

On the contrary, it will be delayed for another two or three years.

You have to take advantage of this critical point and lose your money quickly.

Lin Chang held a cell phone to check, and finally figured out the current situation of VR games.

"Mr. Pei, do you have to cooperate with these foreign VR glasses manufacturers if you want to develop VR games?"

Pei Qian smiled: "What else to cooperate with? Isn't it enough to develop by yourself? Shenhua Group can make mobile phones, but can't make VR glasses?"

Lin Chang was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, it seemed that the same was true.

VR glasses don’t actually have much complicated technology, and the production difficulty is not higher than that of mobile phones. Shenhua Group not only makes mobile phones, but also smart hardware. It is not too difficult to develop a VR glasses.

But he quickly realized that the current problem is not a problem of technology or money at all!

Lin Chang said: "Mr. Pei, this seems too risky, right? There are no traditional game manufacturers doing VR games at all. If we do, there is no successful experience to refer to?"

Pei Qian asked: "Since we want to innovate, what successful experience reference is needed?"

Lin Chang opened his mouth slightly, and was speechless for a while.

Lin Wan said: "Don't interrupt, let Mr. Pei finish talking about the idea of ​​the whole project before expressing his opinion."

Lin Chang: "..."

Lin Wan was obviously considering the feasibility of the VR game project seriously. She thought about it for a while and said: "Then, President Pei, what kind of VR game do we make? First-person shooter? Interactive movie game? Or simply Strategy games should be fine too."

"If you consider the characteristics of VR equipment ~www.ltnovel.com~, it is definitely the best choice to be a first-person shooter."

Compared with computers, VR does not have advantages in many aspects because the technology is not mature yet, such as resolution, operation, dizziness and other issues that need to be resolved urgently.

The only advantage is immersion.

Therefore, for game types like shooting games and interactive movie games, playing in the first person will give you an experience far beyond computer games. As for the strategy games, they are more reluctant, and can only do some games with simple operations and not too complicated content. Although they are all from the perspective of God, the perspective of God in VR mode will look more shocking than on the computer side, and it is barely possible.

Pei Qian fell into a brief silence.

If you do first-person shooting, or interactive movie games, you might really be able to make a name.

Because first-person shooters can use the handle to aim, coupled with a strong sense of immersion, coupled with a little horror atmosphere, you may be able to make a masterpiece blown by the players.
