Chapter 1162: Racing Ga!
MMORPG might have been impacted by MOBA gas but a starving cal would still be bigger than a horse. There were still many loyal players at this stage.
Compared to standalone gas, online gas were more in line with mainstream players’ taste. Once the number of players increased, it would be easy to beco a long-term money tree.
The sales volu of standalone gas would decrease after a few months at most. Everyone would get sick of it after playing for a while. What’s more, those who had paid for standalone gas did not have any follow-up expenses other than buying so downloadable content.
However, it was different for online gas. There would be an endless stream of money entering the account even if it was a relatively conscientious ti charge. If it beca popular, it would be difficult to clean up in the future.
GOG and Ocean Stronghold were painful lessons.
Thus, Pei Qian was not willing to make online gas unless there was an idea that could definitely incur losses.
It would be easier for standalone gas to incur losses.
Previously, everyone had been talking at once and could not reach a consensus. One by one, they lowered their heads and thought carefully.
Indeed, what Boss Pei said made sense!
Everyone seed to be able to do what they wanted, but it would be difficult to reach a consensus if they continued discussing like this.
It was better to follow Boss Pei’s train of thought.
In the field of standalone gas, what ga genre did Tengda make less?
This question was really difficult to answer.
Tengda had done many standalone gas until now, so relatively popular thes, and many niche thes.
Repent and be Saved was an action-based ga, Struggle was an interactive movie ga, Mission and Choice was an outdated real-ti strategy ga. There were also difficult gas like Ga Designer and Animal Island.
What other ga genres were there that Tengda made less of?
Everyone lowered their heads and started calculating.
Action gas, shooting gas, simulators, role-playing gas, interactive gas, strategy gas, leisure gas…
He seed to have dabbled in most ga genres.
That was mainly because Boss Pei never ate his roots. After a certain ga type succeeded, he would not touch it for a long ti. Instead, he would imdiately develop another type of ga.
Thus, it would be slightly difficult to find a field that Tengda had not stepped into.
However, more people ant more power. Soone still managed to find a ga genre that had not been created yet.
“A combat ga?”
“A music ga?”
“We have never done a sandbox ga before.”
“There’s also a racing ga. There might be The Lonely Desert Road but this is obviously very different from a proper racing ga…”
Pei Qian could not help but praise them.
Alright, this brainstorming eting was not wasted!
Everyone had indeed thought of sothing that he had not expected.
Pei Qian silently noted down these types of gas.
He would not think about music gas for now. The main reason was that it would cost too little money. There was no point in making them.
What’s more, it was very difficult to ss up this thing. They could not possibly make it an out-of-tune sound ga, right?
On the whole, the chances of losing money were not high. What’s more, even if they lost money, they would not lose much. That was because it was very difficult to invest more money.
Fighting gas were a good choice, but it was still the sa problem. It would not burn enough money.
He could use it as a backup if he did not have a better idea.
Forget about the sandbox ga, the risk was too high. A successful sandbox ga had a terrifying lifespan. Pei Qian did not want to take the risk.
A racing ga?
Yes, that sounded like a good choice!
Among these ga genres that had not been created before, racing gas spent the most money and were more difficult to create.
If he wanted to create a racing ga, the scenery had to be good, right? There had to be many maps, right?
Just creating these beautiful scenes would cost a lot of art resources.
What’s more, he had to make more cars, right? If he used real cars, he had to talk to the manufacturers of cars to cooperate and buy copyrights, right?
He had to have a radio to drive and listen to songs, right? He had to spend money on the copyright of the songs.
What’s more, it was relatively difficult to create speed gas.
That was because players had a high requirent for hand sensitivity for speed gas. If they did not adjust their driving sense well, they would definitely be scolded by players.
Many players could not tell what was wrong with the driver of a certain ga, but they could clearly feel whether the car was easy to drive or not.
If it was not easy to drive, it would definitely be the manufacturer’s fault.
It was easier said than done to make it easy to drive. A long and ticulous process had to be done.
That was because most players used keyboards or handles to play racing gas. These two types of input equipnt and the steering wheel of the real car were very different.
Take the keyboard for example. Using the four keys of the WASD to control the accelerator, brake, and direction could only simulate four states: the accelerator to the end, the brake to the end, the steering wheel to the left or right.
There was no way to simulate a linear operation like the steering wheel with a keyboard.
Under such circumstances, in order to give players a better gaming experience, manufacturers had to achieve a certain level of auxiliary driving effect through complicated adjustnts. Players could also use a few buttons to drive on the keyboard. They could deal with various complicated turns without linear operations.
Whether or not this was done well would determine the player’s driving sense and whether the car in the ga was “easy to drive” or “difficult to drive”.
The situation of the controller was slightly better than the keyboard. It could be used to simulate the brake and the linear nature of the accelerator with the trigger key. The joystick of the controller could also slightly adjust the angle of the turn. However, the controller could only change to the left or right by 90 degrees.
It was obviously impossible to use 90 degrees of change to simulate 900 degrees or 540 degrees change in the steering wheel.
What’s more, in order to make it realistic, racing gas had to calculate the ground strength of the tires and a series of paraters to ensure that players could complete difficult movents such as drifting and turning in the real world using similar operations in the ga. Otherwise, this racing ga would beco a leisure ga.
In short, it was more difficult and easy to ss it up.
The official gas platform might sell so templates for racing gas but these templates could not be too outstanding. Most of the work had to be done personally.
What’s more, the employee who suggested the race was right. The Lonely Desert Road was not a racing ga at all. It was an independent ga at best.
Tengda could be said to have no experience in developing professional racing gas.
At that mont, Pei Qian thought of a more deranged idea.
After developing a racing ga, he could make a steering wheel, a simulated driving suit that included scaffolding, monitors, and seats. That made sense, right?
Wouldn’t that be able to spend more money?
At that thought, Pei Qian said, “I think racing gas are not bad.”
Everyone nodded.
Indeed, among these choices, racing gas were relatively reliable.
Combat gas were outdated, and they were as niche as sound gas. The sandbox ga was not bad. The key was that one had to have a good idea to make a sandbox ga.
Thinking about it this way, racing gas were indeed a better choice.
On this point, Boss Pei and everyone’s motives might be completely different, but they had magically reached a consensus on the final outco.
After deciding on the general direction for the racing gas, everyone began to think.
“Racing-based gas must be highly realistic! Why don’t we link it to so competitions in reality and create a pulley or regular competition mode?”
“Can we buy the copyright of F1?”
“I don’t think there’s a need to make it realistic. Let’s focus it on being cool! Reduce the operating threshold and add a few more luxury cars. Let players experience the joy of land flying transport inside.”
“We can intensify the emotions! Aren’t there many movies about racing? We can also make more plots in the ga to show our usual advantage.”
“Or should I create a futuristic racing ga?”
Pei Qian listened quietly and shook his head slightly.
None of them sounded like good ideas!
First, he had to get rid of the copyrights from F1. He could consider buying a portion of the copyrights for the car and spend more money. However, if he bought the copyrights for the F1 competition, the ga would definitely naturally beco popular and traffic would not do.
Reducing operational standards, focusing on cool, adding plot… These ideas sounded familiar.
Wasn’t that what Ocean Stronghold did back then?
Reality proved that it did not seem to work. It would easily beco a popular ga that could not be stopped.
As for the future the… For so reason, he thought about Mission and Choice. Perhaps this group of people had been waiting for the combined event with Mission and Choice.
Pei Qian pondered for a mont and asked, “What can you think of the most popular racing ga at the mont?”
Ye Zhizhou pondered for a mont and said, “That should be a tug-of-war, right? Everything in this ga is very realistic. Many drivers are even practicing in the ga.”
“However, it is precisely because it is real that many settings are rather unfriendly to newbies. For example, the ground strength of the different tires in the ga is different. You have to choose different tires according to the different venues and adjust the car. There is also car damage. You have to repair it if you hit the car.”
“The worst-case scenario would be when the first picture clashes with the car and breaks the car light. The second picture would be the night road. The entire journey would be sared and completed. It would be rather suffocating.”
“What’s more, other racing gas can switch off car damages. This ga cannot be closed off. It only allows newbies to repair cars for free. This is very hardcore.”
Pei Qian nodded subtly.
Yes, he cannot switch off car damages? That sounded like a good idea.
Many players played speed gas purely to race to release the wildness in their hearts that they had nowhere to put. It was common for them to hit the roadside flowers.
Therefore, the first thing many people did when entering the ga was to close the car tire and hit it at will.
Players had to think about repairing cars instead of switching the damage off. Obviously, this was a good way to dissuade players.
“However… The Rally Competition is quite successful, right?” Pei Qian asked.
Ye Zhizhou nodded. “Yes, it was quite successful.”
“That’s because it was made very real, and it restored the original appearance of the tug-of-war very well. Even many professional drivers used it to train, so it was very popular among hardcore players.”
“Running a tug-of-war is very expensive. It’s common for ordinary drivers to burn a few million yuan a year. Ordinary people would not be able to obtain such an experience. Thus, playing such gas beca a good choice.”
