Chapter 1007 Animal Island VR

Lin Wan gestured slightly: "What about the other three fingers?"

Old Song still shook his head: "The other three fingers have to grip the handle, otherwise it will fall off. Besides, those three fingers are far less flexible than the thumb and index finger. Even if you let the players press them, they might not get used to it."

Ye Zhizhou thought carefully and said, "Not necessarily. As long as we add a fixing strap to the handle and tie it to the hand, the other three fingers don't have to hold it all the time. The other three fingers can hold the buttons to simulate the action of gripping.”

"This way, the handle can distinguish the fine movements of each finger. When simulating actions such as shooting arrows, fishing, shooting guns, and grabbing things, there can be different effects."

Old Song thought for a while: "Hey? That's a good idea, we can try it. But we haven't done this before, and the money might not be enough..."

Lin Wan immediately said, "It doesn't matter, just spend as much as you want. If the money is not enough, I will find a way."

Ye Zhizhou also smiled slightly. Saying there isn't enough money in front of Tenda Group and Shenhua Group?

There is only a time when there is too much money to spend, never when there isn't enough.

Lin Wan continued: "Okay, then the handle matter is settled. Add buttons to each finger. In this way, the content of our game can also be developed with the help of this handle."

"Do you have any ideas about the game?"

Ye Zhizhou thought for a while and said, "President Pei has already stipulated that it must be a casual game with a cartoon style. I think the advantage of doing this is that the aliasing effect of the VR glasses won't be so obvious, the picture quality will look better, and it won't give players so much psychological pressure.”

"Because the immersion of VR is too strong, if it is a shooting or horror theme, many people may not be able to play it because they are afraid. But if it is a casual game, there will be no such problems, and it will be easier to stick with it.”

"The key issue now is that as a casual game, we must make the gameplay rich enough..."

The two of them talked back and forth, and Lin Wan kept recording in her notebook. Many details were presented one by one.

The main planner, Cai Jiadong, was a bit overwhelmed and couldn't keep up with the two people's train of thought.

Just following these few simple rules, they were able to analyze so many things?

It's amazing, how did they do it?

Cai Jiadong had worked on projects before, but when he was designing, he was based on some conventional gameplay. Although everyone also had some brainstorming sessions, they basically struggled repeatedly with some minor details.

To put it simply, the core remains basically unchanged, only the external packaging is changed back and forth.

Because as a氪金 (kè jīn, money-grabbing) game, the gameplay is all the same, and changing any function will affect profitability, so you can't mess with it.

But things were obviously different at Chili Workshop. Lin Wan and Ye Zhizhou seemed to be completely considering the form of a game from scratch.

Other game companies first determine the general form of the game, and then hold meetings to discuss some specific details; while Chili Workshop infers the ultimate form of the game through some details.

This made Cai Jiadong feel very magical. He listened carefully and quickly recorded the details of this meeting.

Lin Wan sorted out the results of the discussion and said, "In this case, the game can be finalized."

"The VR game we want to make includes casual gameplay, simulation management gameplay, and sandbox construction gameplay."

"Players are born on a deserted island, and 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, plant flowers, build houses, and so on."

"These gameplays must be completed by the players themselves. For example, when hunting, players need to use the handle to simulate the action of drawing a bow and shooting an arrow or shooting a gun; when fishing, players need to manually throw the fishing rod, pull the rod, and personally catch the fish and throw it into the bucket, etc."

"Of course, when players feel a little tired, we also allow players to obtain special robots by completing tasks to take care of farms or gardens, so that players do not have to perform these repetitive actions all the time."

"In normal mode, the player is in the first-person perspective, and all activities on the island must be done by themselves."

"The game can also enter the God perspective, management mode, where players can overlook the entire island and transform the entire island from the God perspective. Of course, this mode will only be opened after players have carried out preliminary wasteland reclamation."

"At the same time, the game also supports simple online gameplay, where you can meet friends on other players' islands. Players can also team up to go to deserted islands to reclaim wasteland and hunt for materials."

"Of course, the image of players in online gameplay is a big problem."

"Previous VR glasses also had some online mini-programs, but the effects were not good, because the device can only capture the player's hand movements, but cannot reproduce the movements of the arms and shoulders based on the hand movements."

"This will make the movements look very stiff to other players."

"Many VR games will remove both arms, leaving only the hands. But this will make it look very strange."

"We happen to have a cartoon style, so we can make players into various cute anthropomorphic small animals, and at the same time, we can make their movements feel like rubber men. In this way, their hands can pull their arms, so it won't look strange, but will make people feel very cute."

"In addition, the most important point is to have enough interactive effects with the VR glasses handle."

"There may be many collection actions in our game, such as picking a flower or picking a fruit, but these actions mean that players have to bend over and lower their heads. If they have to bend over and lower their heads every time they pick up something, it will be too cumbersome and boring for players."

"So we have to make a function similar to 'telekinesis' so that players don't get too tired. Moreover, functions such as storing props should be done using the VR handle as much as possible."

"In terms of packaging, it is mainly a forest, animal, and cartoon casual style, but there should also be some technological elements in it. Some unreasonable content can be packaged with 'black technology'."

"Finally... is the name of the game."

"I'm a bit incompetent when it comes to naming..."

Ye Zhizhou said, "This is the first project of Chili Workshop, so it's definitely better for you to decide the name of the game."

Lin Wan thought for a while: "Well, then... let's call it *Animal Island*! Although it's not a good name, it should be okay."

Ye Zhizhou nodded: "Well, we can temporarily set this name. If we think of a better one in the future, we can change it."

Lin Wan looked at Old Song again: "Later, I will summarize the operations that need to be used in the game, such as telekinesis, drawing a bow and shooting an arrow, etc. At that time, the handle research and development may also need to take care of these functions, such as adding vibrations in different modes, and adding sensors to identify pressure, touch, optical data, etc."

"These details will seriously affect the game experience of players. We must not be careless. We must try our best to combine the hardware and software, and the game and VR glasses cooperate perfectly to give players the best game experience!"

Old Song nodded: "Don't worry, just ask if you have any requirements, and I will definitely cooperate fully! Anyway, as long as the funding is in place, these problems should be solved. Even if they can't be solved perfectly, we should be able to find alternative solutions!"

Lin Wan let out a long breath: "Okay, the details of the game are almost done. Later, I will hurry up and write the design plan, and everyone can go do their own thing!"

After the meeting, after finalizing the specific form of the game, Lin Wan felt relieved.

If she hadn't learned the "Tenda working method" at Shangyang Games, she really wouldn't have been able to handle these tasks at Chili Workshop.

It's all thanks to President Pei's cultivation!
