Chapter 129 Don’t Ask, If You Ask, You Have No Money

  The results of the survey show that 80% of the players said that they have no money to buy an xbox console with a holographic projection.

  When this result was obtained, the people from Germination Studio and Weisoft couldn't help but whisper 'Huh? ’ with a sound.

  WeiRuan's staff blushed anxiously and kept scratching the back of their heads.

  The console with the holographic module is indeed more expensive than a thousand yuan, but it shouldn't be... This shouldn't be a reason for rejection, because they have specially formulated two pre-sale methods for the console.

  One is that it is a little more expensive with hologram, and the other is that there is no hologram at the normal price.

  The sales of the first type are dismal, let alone the second type. If the former type cannot be sold, how can anyone buy the second type.

  But when the employees of Germination Studio contacted some big anchors, they got a result that was closest to reality.

   That is, people dare not buy it. Of course, it is too expensive to buy it.

"You don't have to worry, the old thief. There are only two days left before the pre-sale ends. You can see how long they can go." Yinzi couldn't help laughing as he looked at the results of the market research that the employees of the budding studio asked him to do. Voice.

  Yesterday he released a link to a questionnaire in the live broadcast room, inviting water friends in the live broadcast room to enter anonymously to fill in the most real thoughts that he did not buy a host,

  He still remembers some of the questions in the questionnaire, which he still remembers so far.

  [Can you accept the price of the new generation host? ]

   Below there are several answers to check: 100 million points are expensive, barely acceptable, reasonable, and quite cheap

  [Are you still satisfied with the games in the xbox mall? ]

   Not very satisfied, Barely accept, Quite satisfied

  [Would you like to give us some valuable suggestions below? ]

  The last question is an open-ended answer, and you can write your own suggestions at the end.

  Other game companies may give you a sentence after you fill out the questionnaire, ‘You have filled it out, thank you for your participation. '

  But Bud Studio didn’t. From making games to the present, the main focus is sincerity.

  Although it is filled in anonymously, after the questionnaire is completed, you can see the voting statistics of everyone and the final suggestions.

  The last piece of valuable advice has been written by all kinds of people, but most of them can be summed up in one sentence.

  ‘The game is a good game, but the console is a little expensive with hundreds of millions of points. '

   At the beginning, everyone didn't understand a little bit, and even Weisoft blamed themselves severely for this result.

  But after listening to Yinzi’s words and sorting out the current situation, I realized that this is not because the mainframe is expensive. This is clearly because of the current situation of the experience personnel in Silent Hill, and I have never made up my mind to buy a mainframe.

   Maybe wait until the last day of the pre-sale before everyone can buy under the pressure of the end of the pre-sale.

"Do you have any ideas to reduce the player's fear level? Reduce the player's sense of substitution, and build a fourth wall between the player and the game." Ye Feng looked at the people in the conference room. They are all promoted since the company's development. elite.

   This is not because of console sales, but Ye Feng himself has considered that horror games like Silent Hill need to establish a barrier between players and the game.

  All games are trying to break the fourth wall, because this allows players to be more involved in the game and experience the game better.

  The existence of hologram also allows players to experience what it feels like when virtual reality descends into reality.

  In the spacious meeting room, everyone sat in their seats, lowering their heads and meditating hard.

  The long table in the conference room is full of game characters and miniature buildings in the game.

  Game companies are different from other companies. Except for completing their own work, the rest of the time is quite relaxed and cheerful.

  One-to-one model figures of game characters can be seen everywhere in the company.

  The person sitting at the end of the meeting room stared at the translucent hand-made model in front of him. The longer he looked at it, the more clear an idea in his mind became.

  He raised his hand high, "Boss, I have an idea that can build a fourth wall for players."

   Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud. Other companies are thinking about how to break the fourth wall, but they are the only ones who are meeting to find ways to build the fourth wall.

Seeing Ye Feng's eyes cast towards him, he said loudly, "Everyone knows that if the game modeling and actions are too mechanical, people will feel that they cannot be substituted and frown during the play, but a game based on the real environment In the basic game, if the art modeling is not good enough, it will create unimaginable barriers.”

   As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him couldn't help frowning.

   "Of course, as a game company, we certainly cannot lower our art style just to build a fourth wall for players, but we can adjust the transparency."

  “When the player is performing holographic projection at home, the player cannot see his furniture and the surrounding environment clearly in the lowest transparency. The full projection seems to pull the player into an illusion.”

   "But we can improve the transparency of the projection and give the player the adjustment function to allow them to adjust to their own comfort level."

   "In this way, players can see the familiar environment in the real projection, which greatly reduces the sensory experience of the game, but does not affect the gaming experience of the game."

  He raised his head confidently. This is something he just thought of suddenly. If you can see the environment of your home in the real projection, will the sense of substitution become less.

   "This is really good!"

   "Fuck, what a good idea you have. It solves the problem in one go, and gives the adjustment ability to the players. They can adjust the degree of transparency according to their comfort level."

   "The fourth wall is built all at once!"

  …

  In the meeting room, everyone nodded their heads.

  Ye Feng also nodded, this is indeed a good idea, it can perfectly build the fourth wall between reality and the game for players.

  But the more he thought about this move, the more weird he felt.

  Originally, I was only afraid of games, but after the fusion of reality and game projections,

   Don't players really stare at their closets at night before going to bed?

  However, this suggestion can indeed reduce the player's sensory experience. After the meeting, Ye Feng also adopted this suggestion.

  This meeting passed two options, one is to project the text and voice in the game.

  Before, it used the form of direct playback to let the sound enter the player's ears, but now it will display the spoken text in front of the player's eyes.

  For example, the text content spoken on the radio will be displayed not far from the line of sight.

  Remind players all the time that this is just a game.

   Right after the plan was approved, Germination Studio and Weisoft issued an update notice to inform all players of the update just now.

  ‘Hey, I didn’t have the money to buy a mainframe, but since all the old thieves are like this, then I will smoke two packs less, and I also want to buy a mainframe for the old thief to boost his performance. '

  ‘Obviously it is for Ai Wen’s performance, but it is also related to the old thief game, almost. '

  'Add adjustable transparency? There is one thing to say, I participated in the pre-sale because I collected enough money to buy the host, not because of this function at all. '

  'I really can't do anything about you (spread hands)'
