Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

kes to create games that he had never done before.
Even if they are of the same genre, you have to choose a completely different entry point.”

“Amongst the many types of games, Boss Pei preferred unpopular niche games.
He tried his best to make niche games that suited the taste of the public, thereby breaking out of the circle.”

“Secondly, Boss Pei likes to go against the popular competitions in the market and choose unexpected methods.”

“However, this is different.
The prerequisite is that we cannot go against the core fun and objective laws of the game and achieve a ‘on the surface, it looks bizarre but it is reasonable to analyze it carefully’ effect.”

“On top of that, Boss Pei thinks that we should not follow the gamers’ habits and ideas on the surface.
Instead, we have to work hard to find deeper demands from them.

“In other words, working hard to find the same gameplay can bring players deeper pleasure.”

“Lastly, in terms of packaging, Boss Pei would choose the background story that would best represent traditional Chinese culture and be more representative.
He would also add some philosophical thoughts that would resonate with domestic players.”

“Simply put, Boss Pei is very good at doing the exact opposite of what’s popular in the market.

“On the surface, it looks like it is going in the opposite direction of players’ taste, but in fact, it has broken the stereotype that players are tired of playing.
It uses another kind of deeper pleasure to guide players and stand out among the games.”

Yan Qi listened as he quickly recorded it on his computer.

These contents sounded relatively empty, more like pure theory content.
It was actually very difficult to understand if there was no corresponding case to make annotations.

Yan Qi could not understand it very deeply yet, but he could slowly understand it based on Tengda’s games.

After recording everything down, Yan Qi quickly scanned the rules and seemed to have realized something.
“Therefore, my previous thinking was completely wrong.”

“I think Repent and be Saved is perfect in domestically-produced action games.
In fact, I’m looking at the problem with a rigid and still eye.”

“What I saw was actually what Boss Pei saw two years ago.”

“If Boss Pei decided to create an action game now, the game he created would definitely be very different from Repent and be Saved.”

“If I want the game to succeed, I have to learn from Boss Pei and think from his perspective.”

Li Yada nodded in satisfaction.
“That’s right, that’s the logic.”

Yan Qi’s previous thoughts were completely overturned.
He frowned and began to think seriously.

Repent and be Saved was indeed not outdated until now, but he could not create a game that imitated Repent and be Saved.

That was because Boss Pei’s games could only succeed because they were ahead of time.

If Yan Qi wanted to succeed, he had to learn from Boss Pei and design a game that was ahead of time.

It had to be very different from Repent and be Saved’s style.

Yan Qi knew very well that he would not be able to achieve Boss Pei’s level.
The action games he made would probably not be able to reach Repent and be Saved’s level.

However, there was a saying that one had to try his best.
If he worked hard for 100 points, he might end up with 90 points.
However, if he worked hard for 60 points, he might end up failing.

Thus, Yan Qi had to work towards Boss Pei’s direction.
That way, even if he could not become popular, he could at least earn money and lay a solid foundation for future explosive games.

“Then… Big Sister Li, how should we do the opposite?”

“Repent and be Saved is indeed the opposite of the previous domestically-produced action games.
It forcefully increased the difficulty.
If I were to do the opposite again and reduce the difficulty, wouldn’t I be back?”

“It doesn’t seem to work either.”

Li Yada smiled.
“Of course not.”

“The so-called ‘thinking in reverse’ is not a straight line, but a spiral rise process.
Thinking in reverse is not to let you walk back, but to continue pursuing higher development after consolidating the existing rules.”

“As for how to spiral upwards, that’s the question you have to think about.
I can’t help you.”

Actually, Li Yada could design it, but she did not want to interfere too much.

It was better to teach a man how to fish than to teach a man how to fish.
She had already imparted the methodology to Yan Qi.
Whether the game could be made or how far it would go depended on Yan Qi himself.

Yan Qi quickly said, “Thank you so much!”

“If not for you, Big Sister Li, I might still be thinking about creating a game to imitate Repent and be Saved.
I would probably have failed in the end.”

“We might not have a clue about the new game now but the general direction is much clearer!”

“I really don’t know how to thank you for sharing such precious content with me!”

Li Yada smiled.
“You don’t have to thank me.
You can thank Boss Pei if you want to.”

“Making more and more outstanding domestically-produced games is Boss Pei’s long-cherished wish and what Boss Pei has been pushing for.”

“The fact that you could create an outstanding domestic action game is a form of repayment in itself.”

“In my opinion, you don’t lack anything.
What you lack is the right method, confidence, and courage.”

“Now, you have also grasped the method.
As long as you maintain confidence and courage, there will definitely be no problem!”
