Chapter 1009 VR Controller Design

Wednesday morning, April 25.

Ye Zhizhou came to the office location of Chi Xing Studio according to the address given by Lin Wan.

After Lin Wan left Shangyang Game, Ye Zhizhou took over as the new person in charge of Shangyang Game, and the employees of Shangyang Game have already had a breakup with Lin Wan.

Although they are a little reluctant, as the saying goes, there is no banquet that will last forever, and the work transfer within the Tengda Group has always been very frequent. Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin also knew that they would have to take over sooner or later, so they were not too sad.

What's more, Chi Xing Studio's office is also in Jingzhou, and it is not far from Shangyang Games. You can visit each other frequently, and there will be many opportunities to see it in the future.

Today Ye Zhizhou came to finalize the new game of Chi Xing Studio with Lin Wan.

Previously, Mr. Pei had confirmed that Chixing Studio's first game was the VR game, but the details of this game have not been finalized.

Ye Zhizhou is here to help make an idea.

As far as Ye Zhizhou knows, in addition to him and Lin Wan, the ones who came to the meeting this time also had a product manager responsible for developing VR glasses in the Shenhua mobile phone department, and a new planner recruited by Chi Xing Studio.

Finalizing the name and details of the game, let Chixing Studio get on track as soon as possible, and sometimes entering the R&D process as soon as possible is the best way to get in the team.

Ye Zhizhou came to Chixing Studio and subconsciously looked at the working environment.

Well, it is indeed in line with Tengda Games and Shangyang Games.

Although Chixing Studio has just been established, there are already employees working at work stations. I have to say that the recruitment efficiency is quite high.

Ye Zhizhou came to the conference room and sat down in the empty seat.

Lin Wan was carefully flipping through a thick stack of resumes, picking out the qualified ones and putting them aside, preparing to invite an interview.

Seeing that everyone was here, Lin Wan cleaned up his resume a little and poked on the conference table: "It's all here, let's hurry up and start, there are still a few interviews in the afternoon."

Ye Zhizhou found that Lin Wan seemed to be becoming more and more stylish. When he first arrived at Shangyang Games, he often hesitated and was undecided. Now he is becoming more and more like a qualified leader.

"You are very efficient here. In just three days, new employees have already joined the company?" Ye Zhizhou said after taking a sip of tea.

Lin Wan smiled: "Well, just sign the brands of Shenhua Group and Tengda Group, and then hang up the successful games of Shangyang Games, and the recruitment email will explode immediately."

"Many people can't get in the Tenda game department even if they want to enter the Tenda game department. They still have to take the exam. The benefits here are similar to those of Tenda, and they are also famous. Many gamers want to come."

"But... I'm under great pressure from Tengda. If the game is not done well, I'm really a loss to Mr. Pei."

"Let me introduce it to you. This is Ye Zhizhou, the current person in charge of Shangyang Games, this is Lao Song, the product manager of Shenhua Group's mobile phone business, and this is Cai Jiadong, the main designer of Chixing Studio..."

Lin Wan quickly introduced to everyone present.

Lao Song is a product manager, responsible for borrowing the resources of Shenhua Group to make new VR glasses, while Cai Jiadong is the newly recruited main designer, with unknown resumes, but these two people seem to be in their thirties and forties, so they should have rich experience.

Cai Jiadong shook hands with Ye Zhizhou: "Good luck, lucky luck! I have played all the games developed by Shangyang Studio, but I didn't expect the main designer to be so young. It really makes me ashamed."

Ye Zhizhou hurriedly said, "Everywhere is the best platform of Tengda Group. If it weren't for Mr. Pei's guidance, I would probably be an executive planner now."

After hyping up the business of both parties, they quickly got to the point.

Lin Wan said while distributing the documents: "These are some key points that were set after the last meeting with Mr. Pei, everyone can take a look."

She looked at Ye Zhizhou: "It's still the same as the previous workflow of Shangyang Games. First analyze Mr. Pei's intentions, and then determine the specific form of the game."

Cai Jiadong took the document with both hands, read it very carefully, with a very pious expression.

Although he was nominally the main planner of Chi Xing Studio, his main planner is now a virtual title, and he is only responsible for the execution work. After slowly getting used to the working rhythm here, he can gradually take over the design work.

As a designer, Cai Jiadong has a very good resume. He has many years of experience as a main designer in large domestic game companies and has also brought out successful projects.

There are two reasons why he came to Chi Xing Studio. One is that the treatment here is better than his original company, and the other is that it is because of Tengda Games.

Every game producer actually has a dream deep in his heart.

It is indeed possible to make money by making krypton gold games, but it is just a job and won’t be very happy. Being able to make your own 3A game with both sales and reputation is a real thing for designers to be proud of.

The game "Mission and Choice" has rekindled the passion that many designers like Cai Jiadong have been silent for many years, so he accepted the job without hesitation.

Although Cai Jiadong has rich experience in game design, the development process of 3a masterpieces and krypton gold games is still very different, and cannot be generalized.

What's more, he had long heard that Tengda Games and Shangyang Games have a very unique game design method, which belongs to Mr. Pei, so he happened to take this opportunity to study it carefully.

He looked at the document and found that there were several hard regulations on it, including the investment of games and VR glasses, the type of games, the general style, etc.

Cai Jiadong glanced at him twice, and immediately showed a shocked expression on his face.

Is it invested 20 million in glasses, and Is it invested 20 million in games?

Casual games, and cartoon style... invest so much money?

Cai Jiadong was very confused. Although there were only a few provisions in this document, these provisions were obviously contradictory in his experience and would not work at all.

Casual games, 20 million venture capital for cartoon paintings is already outrageous. You have to spend another 20 million to develop a VR glasses for a separate game?

If it were in other gaming companies, this proposal would definitely be rejected immediately, but here... it seems to be something that is accustomed to?

Cai Jiadong didn't dare to ask too much, so he could only listen silently.

Lin Wan first looked at product manager Lao Song: "If you spend 20 million yuan to develop VR glasses, how much can you achieve?"

Lao Song answered truthfully: "It is enough to develop the glasses body, and it is even a bit wasteful. I suggest that there is no need to invest so much money. After all, the domestic market is not very big, and you can't expect to sell it even if you make it."

"It's better to make a basic product, just make a fuss about the concept, and just sell it casually to recover the cost."

Lin Wan immediately shook her head: "That won't work. The R&D fund can only be more or less. Just say how much it can be done."

Lao Song thought for a while: "Then we can only make a fuss on the handle."

"But the handle...it seems difficult to make tricks."

"The VR handle is nothing more than those things, rocker, buttons, etc."

"There are two types of handles at present. One is relatively simple, one with one hand and no rocker, only a simple touchpad, one or two buttons and one trigger key; the other is more complicated, with two hands and two rockers, four buttons on the thumb, and a trigger key on the index finger."

"The first type is too simple. It won't cost much if it is purely research and development. Since we have sufficient funds, we will definitely make the second type."

"But the second function is already very complete, each finger has buttons, which is more in line with ergonomic design. There is no need for us to force the design to be innovative, at most it is just a modification."

"So I think the redesign is not very meaningful."

Lin Wan thought for a while: "Then what if we add some more functions?"

Lao Song shook his head: "There is nothing to add. The thumbs of both hands should be pressed on the rocker and the four buttons on the front, and the index finger should be pressed on the trigger key. How can I add functions if I have all taken up?"

The scene fell into a brief silence. Obviously, no one had a good idea about how to spend the money.
