Recreation Starts From the Heartbeat

Chapter 89: Mass production and high-end customization full of compromises

     "Writing novels is not easy, and playing games is also not easy."

Tang Su said earnestly: "But we can’t stop doing things because it’s difficult. On the contrary, it’s because it’s difficult to play games. That’s why we have the possibility of success. If everyone can play games, then we can do it again. Why do you stand out?"

   "……"

Zhang Yuning was speechless and waved his hand: "You don't want to feed me chicken soup. I don't believe this, but if you want to try it, I won't stop it, but I have a condition. If we fail to make the game three times in a row. If you don’t, I’ll give up this way out in the future... The small family of “Simi Studio” can’t afford too many attempts.”

   "How to define success?"

   Tang Su asked rhetorically.

   "Be well-known in the game industry, with a net profit of not less than three million yuan within six months."

Zhang Yuning said lightly: "Our'Simi' is going to transform and become a larger company. It is impossible to calculate based on the current revenue, but I think this condition should be regarded as the lowest threshold. If this is not even possible, then it is still It’s better to consider doing something else as soon as possible."

"also."

   Tang Su thought for a while and nodded.

   There are classic mobile game spree provided by the system, as well as a huge development team like ‘Simi Studio’. If you can’t even earn three million in half a year... then there is really no need to continue.

   ‘Simi’ is not the only way to make games. There are still many sub-sectors in the Internet field that have not been filled, and these can be done. Therefore, Tang Su does not have any psychological pressure.

"Then don't be idle, help me collect the game data of the fire in the past two years, including their investment model, development model, operation model, profitability, fluctuation range and related reasons. The game type is casual mobile games. host."

   Tang Su said casually.

"……alright."

   Zhang Yuning curled his lips, and then agreed.

   So Tang Su began to crackle the keyboard again, and Zhang Yuning went to contact some friends in the game industry to find a way to obtain the relevant information.

   At this moment, the two of them have already distinguished the content of their work. Tang Su is responsible for the design ideas and Zhang Yuning is responsible for the promotion and operation of the ‘product’.

   As for game development... Then it has to be handed over to the third founding partner of'Simi'-Xu Huahua.

  ……

   Writing a game design draft is actually quite troublesome.

   "Plants vs. Zombies" is very simple to play. That's because the idea of ​​game design is to focus on the leisure field, but the design effort is not less than those of very livery games, it's...very strenuous.

It's a pity that'System King' can't directly affect reality. Otherwise, let it publish a task casually, and then input all the game design ideas and numerical calculation methods into the computer. The'one-click' operation method is still Quite popular, but like Tang Su now, typing out with the keyboard according to the content in his head is very cumbersome and very inhumane.

   After knocking on the keyboard for a while, Tang Su looked down, only to type more than 3,000 words, and he felt a little sore.

Shaking his wrists, thinking of being obsessed with codeword equipment when he was a street writer in his previous life, thinking about the "Plants vs. Zombies" that hadn't been copied in his mind and the other nine classic games. Tang Su thought about it for a while. Take out the mobile phone, open the online shopping platform, and type: "Electrostatic capacitance keyboard, 35g key press..."

  According to the experience of writing novels in previous lives——

The 35g key press is the most suitable for a large amount of text input. Compared with the mechanical keyboard of 45g, 55g, 60g, 80g..., the static capacitance of the 35g key press is soft and comfortable, and the noise is much smaller, which can be better Protect your fingers.

   Of course, electrostatic capacitance is not all good, only one thing is its biggest flaw, that is... the price.

  For Tang Su, the price of a high-end keyboard is obviously not a big deal, so when he was preparing to buy a new keyboard, the first choice was electrostatic capacitance, and then...

   did not find it!

  ‘Isn’t the electrostatic capacitance of this world called by this name? ’

   Tang Su frowned and thought about it, so he searched the Internet for a complete list of keyboard types, and then... he was silent.

   I almost forgot one thing. Although the parallel world is synchronized with the progress of the earth’s civilization, there are always some differences, such as:

   The technology in this world has developed rapidly, and mobile payment has been used in the millennium (2000).

   The copyright certification in the cultural field is also very strict, and the crackdown on all kinds of piracy is also very strong.

   And... There are only ordinary membrane keyboards and mechanical keyboards, and the development progress of mechanical keyboards is not very good. The appearance is old-fashioned, the craftsmanship has not changed for decades, and it is also known as a retro style and original feel.

   Regarding this, Tang Su wanted to say one word: "he~tui~"

Like the keyboard on Tang Su’s desk, it uses a mechanical type, with a key pressure of about 55g, and the large keys pull the hips, you can hear obvious steel wire sounds, and the keycaps and keyboard height design are not so user-friendly. But it is this kind of broken gadget, the price is as high as 1299 yuan!

   "Pit money."

   Tang Su was a little suffocated, looking at the unfinished documents on the computer monitor, and thinking about the large number of game design drafts in his mind, he felt a little dull for a while.

"what happened to you?"

   Seeing Tang Su sighed, Zhang Yuning was puzzled: "Could it be that you didn't want to do it all of a sudden, right?"

   He was also crackling on the keyboard over there, there was a dialog box on the computer monitor, obviously he was talking about something.

   "No, but the keyboard is not smooth."

   Tang Su shook his head, and accidentally caught a glimpse of Zhang Yuning's keyboard, and his eyes lit up: "What kind of keyboard is this? I haven't seen this in a long time after searching."

   "Mechanical keyboard."

Zhang Yuning said casually: “It’s normal if you haven’t seen it on the Internet, because this is not a mass-produced keyboard~www.wuxiaspot.com~ but a customized one, from keycaps, shafts, positioning plates, PCBs, upper covers, The bottom shell, silicone silencer cotton... a completely customized product."

"customized?"

   Tang Su frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

   "You can understand it as private high-end customization."

Zhang Yuning is obviously interested in'customization', and patiently explained to him: "The mass-produced mechanical keyboards available on the market are all full of compromises in design and workmanship due to factors such as output, cost, and price. Even if the so-called big manufacturers make the keyboard better, how can the products after a series of compromises get better?

Some bosses who have absolute requirements for hand feel and sound, and also have design ability and hands-on ability. They are willing to waste time on the keyboard to stand up. They study all kinds of new design ideas and control the sound and feel of the keyboard regardless of cost. Ascend to the extreme, of course, while upgrading to the extreme, mass production becomes extremely difficult and the cost becomes very high, and then it is destined to become a niche product. This is the origin of "high-end customization".

Like this keyboard in my hand, it comes from "the only top rice soup studio in the field of high-end customization". It adopts a new 64-key layout. Dachang’s mechanical keyboard is hoisted to play. Looking at all the mechanical keyboards currently on the market, no more than one hand can surpass this..."

   It can be seen that he loves his keyboard very much, and he is very clear about its origin, design inspiration, material, workmanship, and so on.

   Tang Su nodded as if he didn't understand, with a dazed expression on his face.

   He did not understand these things, but he heard a somewhat familiar name from Zhang Yuning's mouth...
