Lin Wan gestured slightly. "What about the other three fingers?"
Old Song still shook his head. "The other three fingers have to hold the handle, or the handle will fall. What's more, the flexibility of those three fingers is far inferior to the thumb and index finger. Even if players were to press it, they might not be able to get used to it. "
Ye Zhizhou thought about it carefully and said, "Not necessarily. As long as we add a fixed strap to the handle and tie the handle to the hand, the other three fingers will not have to hold it all the time. The other three fingers can hold the button and simulate the finger grasping action. "
"That way, the handle can distinguish the fine movements of each finger. When simulating archery, fishing, shooting, grabbing, and other actions, there can be different effects."
Old Song thought for a moment. "Eh? That's a good idea. We can give it a try. However, I've never done this before. I might not have enough money … "
Lin Wan immediately said, "It's alright. Just spend as much as you want. I'll think of a way if you don't have enough money."
Ye Zhizhou smiled as well. Saying that he didn't have enough money in front of Tengda Corporation and Shenhua Corporation?
There would only be times when he couldn't finish spending money. There would never be a time when he didn't have enough money.
Lin Wan continued, "Alright, let's settle on the controller then. Add a button to each finger. That way, we can use this controller to show off the content of the game."
"Do you have any ideas for the game?"
Ye Zhizhou thought for a moment and said, "Boss Pei has already set a limit for casual games and cartoon-style games. I think the advantage of doing this is that the grating effect of the VR glasses will not be so obvious. The image quality will be better, and it will not give players so much psychological pressure. "
"That's because the immersion of VR is too strong. If it's a gunfight or horror theme, many people might not be able to continue playing because they are afraid. If it's a casual game, there won't be these problems and it'll be easier to persevere. "
"The key problem now is that as a casual game, we have to make the gameplay rich enough …"
The two of them spoke one after another, and Lin Wan kept recording in her notebook. Many details were presented one by one.
The chief planner, Cai Jiadong, was a little overwhelmed. He could not keep up with the two of them at all.
Just by following these few simple rules, he forcefully analyzed so many things?
It was too miraculous. How did he do it?
Cai Jiadong had worked on projects before, but when he designed them, they were all based on some conventional gameplay. Although everyone had some brainstorming sessions, they were basically repeatedly entangled with some minor details of the gameplay.
In layman's terms, the core was basically the same, but the outer packaging was changed over and over again.
That was because as a game with paywalls, the gameplay was the same. Changing any function would affect profits, so it could not be changed.
However, it was obviously different in Slow Movement Workspace. Lin Wan and Ye Zhizhou seemed to be thinking about the form of a game from scratch.
The other gaming companies would first confirm the general form of the game before holding a meeting to discuss some specific details. On the other hand, Slow Movement Workspace would reverse engineer the game's final form through some details.
This made Cai Jiadong feel very amazed. While listening carefully, he quickly recorded the details of this meeting.
Lin Wan organized the results of the discussion and said, "In that case, the game can be finalized."
"The VR game we want to make includes casual gameplay, business simulation gameplay, and sandbox building gameplay."
"Players will be born on an isolated island. The goal of the game is to transform the entire island into their own paradise. On the island, players can reclaim wasteland, farm, hunt, fish, plant trees, grow flowers, build houses, and so on. "
"These gameplay methods have to be completed by players themselves. For example, when hunting, players need to use the controller to simulate the action of drawing a bow and nocking an arrow or firing a gun. When fishing, players need to throw the fishing rod, pull the rod, catch the fish personally and throw them into the bucket, and so on."
"Of course, after players feel a little tired, we will also allow players to obtain special robots to take care of the farmland or garden by completing missions so that players do not have to repeat these actions."
"In normal mode, players have a first-person perspective. They have to do all the activities on the island personally."
"The game can also enter God's perspective and business mode. Players can look down on the entire island and modify the entire island from God's perspective. Of course, this mode will only be activated after players have completed the initial pioneering. "
"At the same time, the game also supports simple online gameplay. You can go to other players' islands to meet friends. Players can also form teams to explore deserted islands and hunt for materials. "
"Of course, the image of players in online gameplay is a big problem."
"In the past, VR glasses also had some online small programs, but the effect was not good because the equipment could only capture the player's hand movements, but it could not restore the movements of the arms and shoulders based on the hand movements."
"That way, the movements will look very stiff to other players."
"Many VR games will remove both arms, leaving only both hands. However, that will look very strange. "
"We happen to have a cartoon-style style. We can make players into all kinds of cute anthropomorphic animals. At the same time, we can make their movements similar to rubber men. That way, their hands can move their arms, and it will not look strange. Instead, it will look very cute. "
"Other than that, the most important thing is to have enough interaction with the controller of the VR glasses."
"There might be many collecting actions in our game, such as picking up flowers, picking up fruits, and so on. However, these actions mean that players have to bend down and lower their heads. If they have to bend down every time they pick up something, it would be too cumbersome and boring for players."
"Therefore, we have to create a function similar to 'telekinesis' so that players won't be too tired from playing. What's more, functions such as storage props have to be operated by the VR controller as much as possible. "
"In terms of packaging, it's mainly forests, animals, and cartoon style. However, there have to be some technological elements in it. Some unreasonable content can be packaged with 'black technology'."
"Finally … the name of the game."
"I'm a little bad at naming …"
Ye Zhizhou said, "This is the first project of Slow Movement Studio. It's better for you to decide on the name of the game."
Lin Wan thought for a moment. "Alright then, why don't … we call it 'Animal Island'! It might not be a good name, but it should be passable. "
Ye Zhizhou nodded. "Yes, we can use this name for now. If we think of a better one in the future, we can change it."
Lin Wan looked at Old Song again. "I'll summarize the operations that need to be used in the game later, such as telekinesis, drawing the bow, and so on. At that time, we might need to develop the controller to take into account these functions. For example, adding different modes of vibration, adding sensors to identify pressure, touch, optical data, and so on."
"These details will seriously affect the gamers' gaming experience. We can't be sloppy. We have to try our best to combine the hardware and software. The game and VR glasses will work perfectly together to give gamers the best gaming experience!"
Old Song nodded. "Don't worry. Feel free to ask for anything. I'll do my best to cooperate! In any case, as long as the funds are in place, these problems should be solved. Even if we can't solve it perfectly, we should be able to find an alternative! "
Lin Wan heaved a sigh of relief. "Alright, the details of the game are almost done. I'll take the time to write the design plan later. Everyone, go back to work! "
Lin Wan was relieved after the meeting to finalize the specific form of the game.
If she had not learned the 'Tengda working method' in Shang Yang Games, she might not have been able to take on the work of Slow Movement Studio.
It was all thanks to Boss Pei's nurturing!
