1163 Safe And Civilized Driving

Pei Qian nodded subtly.

After this brainstorming session, he was still very inspired.

He would not afford to lower the difficulty of the game in order to avoid making the same mistake as Ocean Stronghold. Instead, he had to increase the difficulty of the game and ensure that it was very niche.

However, he had to pay attention to another problem. He had to try not to get involved in the difficult competitions in reality.

Take F1 for example. It would be best not to touch such topics.

That was because racing was a very money-burning exercise, but it was very popular globally. Players would naturally choose to experience it in the game if they did not have money to run the racing track.

It would be best if he could choose content that ordinary people often experienced.

What was the content?

Of course, it was to drive in the city!

At the moment, there seem to be two types of most popular racing games. One was a tug-of-war, which was hardcore but completely restored the experience of high-end competitions. The other was to lower the threshold of the game, switch off the car damages, and players could drive freely into the city.

After all, most people were already very vexed that they had to follow the traffic rules when they went to work and drove. They had to worry at all times not to drive too fast, not to run the red light, not to be stuck on posts. A slight scratch might cost hundreds of yuan to paint. They were trembling in fear.

After work, he would go home and drive to the game. Of course, he had to drive and hit whatever he wanted!

Reverse, chase, and run red lights were all run of the mill.

Pei Qian pondered for a moment. If he could combine these two types of games, shortcomings could be made up, and the least popular content could be combined. Wouldn't that work?

At that thought, Pei Qian cleared his throat and said, "I have two directions. You can refer to them."

Everyone stopped their brainstorming and looked over. At the same time, they looked very impressed.

Indeed, the gap between us and Boss Pei was huge!

How long had this brainstorm been going on? Everyone was still discussing and had no thoughts at all. Boss Pei had already chosen the direction for the new game?

Good ideas came naturally to him. Was he a genius game designer?

Hence, everyone was listening closely.

Pei Qian cleared his throat and organized his thoughts. Then, he said, "First, we have to create a fully realistic racing game, or a driving simulator."

"We have to invest a huge sum of money to create an extremely realistic physical engine for the game."

"Every car has to be modeled individually. The plates, AB columns, car body materials of different cars will be based on the situation in reality. There will be different data to ensure that the results after each car hits will be different. What's more, the results would be exactly the same as the collision of the same car in reality."

"Other things like the horsepower of the car, the driving sense, the grip of the tire, and so on have to be consistent with the data in reality."

"When gamers use the steering wheel to experience the game, they have to be infinitely close to driving in reality."

On one hand, it was to spend more research funds. On the other hand, it was to dissuade players.

Divide the car into many different parts, the data of each car would be different. This workload would be very large, and it would be much more troublesome than all cars sharing a physical collision system.

On the other hand, the damage of the cars during different impacts would be different. It could increase the players' losses.

For example, in many games, cars would collide at more than a hundred hours. The car's head would be concave, but it could still continue driving.

However, in the game that Pei Qian had expected, the car would be crippled by the impact at such a speed.

"Secondly, the game has a car damage system and cannot be closed. Players would have to deal with it in real life if they hit the car in the game or were scratched."

"If you hit a car, you have to fix it. If you scratch it, you have to paint it. If you touch someone else's car, you have to be held responsible. You have to compensate them completely."

"What's more, the driver in the car would also be injured after the collision. He would have to be hospitalized and pay for medical expenses."

"Lastly… we can consider developing a steering wheel for this game and let Otto Technologies do it."

After he finished speaking, Pei Qian felt that he had gone overboard.

How was this a racing game? It was completely a driving simulator!

What's more, it was a driving simulator that simulated even the most upsetting content.

There were many inconvenient places in the game that were exactly the same as in reality. He had to drive carefully and carefully.

However, what about the satisfaction of this game? It could not be compared to driving in reality.

After all, in reality, one would be able to feel the vibration of the car and feel the GL. The field of vision was especially wide. This experience was multidimensional.

However, in this game, one could only stare at the screen while driving. Most players could only use the keyboard and controller. The sense of immersion was far from it.

It was as troublesome as driving in reality and the experience was not as good. Who would play it?

What's more, driving in reality was not a particularly high threshold. Most families with slightly better economic conditions had cars.

Many office workers were tired from driving to and from work. When they returned home, they continued to drive in the game. Why did they have to follow the regulations?

What kind of spirit was this? How addicted was he to doing this?

In order to obtain a better gaming experience, he had to buy a steering wheel. However, steering wheels were not cheap. Even entry-level steering, which he could play with slightly better, cost one or two thousand yuan. Those with better entry-level steering cost more than three thousand yuan. Some of the more advanced direct-driven steering were more expensive.

Coupled with the pedals, hand brakes, H-tier, scaffolding, and other parts, the expenses were even higher.

What's more, steering and scaffolding took up space and were easy to eat dust. The cost was not just about money. Most people had to weigh the pros and cons before buying them.

All in all, Pei Qian felt that this idea was very good.

It had accurately dissuaded most players!

For ordinary gamers, they would have to spend money to fix the car after touching it slightly. They would also have to abide by the rules. They would not feel good playing it at all.

For most keyboard and controller players, it was probably a rather difficult task to control the car carefully and pass the subjective examination. It was not much fun.

To those big shots with the steering wheel and other high-end equipment, the game content was very boring. It was no different from driving in reality. Many professional racing games were much more fun than this.

The only ones who would be interested in this game should be those players who did not like to race but loved to drive normally, right?

If there were such gamers, why not become chauffeurs? They could also earn money to support their families while satisfying their own interests. Wouldn't that be perfect?

Pei Qian looked around at everyone. "What do you think, everyone?"

Everyone exchanged confused looks.

Obviously, most people's first reaction was: Not good!

These sounded like designs that went against common sense.

However…

It sounded very convincing coming from Boss Pei. It was as if there was a brilliant idea behind this design that went against common sense and subverted the traditional game design concept.

Wang Xiaobin probed, "Then… Boss Pei, what should the game be called?"

"What's its name?" Pei Qian pondered for a moment. "Let's call it 'Safe and Civilized Driving'!"

Wang Xiaobin was speechless.

What the f*ck did he mean by Safe and Civilized Driving!

Wasn't this the name of the fourth subject on the driver's license test? Was it really alright to use it to create a racing game?

Pei Qian was obviously very satisfied with this name.

It fit the game perfectly!

This game encouraged everyone to drive safely and in a civilized manner. It would be best if they followed the regulations and drove carefully, not rubbing against each other or speeding. They would be good citizens who followed the rules in the game.

As for the gaming experience…

Hehe, Pei Qian had always been the last to consider the gamers' gaming experience. What's more, he had to think about making the experience worse for them.

Pei Qian knew that this brainstorming success was a huge success seeing everyone's confused and confused expressions on the surface!

In fact, the so-called brainstorming was nothing more than asking everyone to gather and give themselves some inspiration to create loss-incurring games.

Pei Qian looked at his watch and stood up. "Alright, let's call it a day then."

"The results are quite significant."

"Everyone, digest the results of today's brainstorming. You can decide how to design it."

Pei Qian felt that he had already decided on the ultimate form of this game. There should not be any deviations.

On the surface, he seemed to be giving everyone full freedom to design. However, Pei Qian was very sure that everyone would still follow his instructions seriously.

In any case, as long as the game was produced according to his requirements, the final outcome would be about the same.

…

Everyone in the conference room had not recovered from their daze after Boss Pei left.

There was a hint of admiration for Boss Pei in his confusion.

Obviously, to Boss Pei, the brainstorm had been completed. That was because Boss Pei had already thought of the final form of the game and gave everyone sufficient hints.

However, the brainstorm had just begun for the others!

He could only say that Boss Pei was Boss Pei. The speed of designing the game was simply amazing.

A game would only take tens of minutes to design from 0 to 100. Who else could be a genius game designer?

However, they had not figured out the core problems of the game 'Safe and Civilized Driving' to the other people in Shang Yang Games.

According to Boss Pei's current conditions, he could only recreate a very incomplete game.

Obviously, there were still many details that Boss Pei did not make clear. This required everyone to work together to complete these details.

However, this was not the first time Shang Yang Games had done something like this. Thus, everyone only felt strange for a short while before calming down. They were prepared to analyze the full picture of the game 'Safe and Civilized Driving' in Boss Pei's heart.

Ye Zhizhou said with great familiarity, "Let's follow the previous process. We'll first find the suspicious points in Boss Pei's design and then slowly analyze it."

"Coincidentally, this is a rare opportunity. Let's finish the questionable segment together."

"Little Yang, let's start with you."
