Chapter 1155 The Next Step for Chixing Studio?
If the market response of Doubt VR glasses was mediocre when it was first released, everyone was sweating, but now that VR glasses and games are reversed together, everyone's worries have disappeared.
Not only was it successful, but it was even more successful than expected!
In fact, at the beginning, most people only expected to make a successful VR glasses that can compete with the mainstream VR devices abroad.
Many people even think that with the current niche level in the VR field, most of these glasses cannot make money. It would be good to take this opportunity to make Chixing Studio famous.
But now I realize that I don't have to worry about making money at all!
Judging from the current market feedback, the popularity of Doubt VR can be maintained for at least a year. During this period of time, the continuous sales of VR glasses, coupled with in-game purchases, can not only recover the cost, but also make a lot of money!
What's more, at this point, everyone's first consideration is not money, but more important things.
Historic status!
If, as Qiao Laoshi said, Doubt VR and "Animal Island" can really open the curtain of the VR game era, then in the future game history, it is mentioned that "the first game was a big success and was welcomed by mainstream players. , mass-produced and commercialized, and established VR game production norms, the name of Chixing Studio will inevitably be mentioned.
This kind of honor is much more important than money!
In the past few days, it can be clearly felt that Doubt VR glasses and "Animal Island" have rapidly heated up the VR industry, which has always been a minority.
All kinds of media are reporting overwhelmingly, and major forums are frantically discussing. It is foreseeable that in the future, there will be more companies that make VR equipment and develop VR games.
A brand new outlet has appeared, and countless people are eager to take advantage of this outlet to fly.
And this situation is expected to continue for a long time.
This also means that Chixing Studio has completed a perfect start, and the future development prospect is bright!
In fact, even if it is not backed by the two big trees of Tenda Group and Shenhua Group, with the current achievements of Chixing Studio, it is very easy to sell to a big company at a very high premium.
For an ordinary entrepreneur, achieving this step has already reached the pinnacle of life.
Cai Jiadong was especially emotional.
He was also the chief designer before, but he always felt that it was difficult to make a project.
Because there are always too many constraints, this does not work, that does not work, many ideas cannot be used, and the final product cannot fully satisfy myself.
But after coming to Chixing Studio, I realized that everything is so simple?
Things that are completely impossible in other companies seem to be a matter of course here.
He only needs to do his own thing step by step, so such a huge achievement can be easily accomplished?
It even feels very unreal.
Of course, the primary credit for being able to succeed without any suspense must belong to Mr. Pei.
After coming to Chixing Studio, Cai Jiadong deeply realized how important it is to have a good leader and an excellent helmsman!
If you look back now, you will feel that the success of Doubt VR glasses and "Animal Island" is a matter of course.
However, Cai Jiadong, who personally participated in the establishment of the project, knew very well that many choices seemed very dangerous at the beginning. It was Mr. Pei who tried his best to overcome all opinions and finally determined the ideal form of the product.
If the previous conservative plan is followed, even if this VR glasses is successful, it will not reach the current level.
Therefore, the most precious thing in Mr. Pei should be his deep insight into the industry and his courage to move forward.
This made Cai Jiadong couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Sure enough, all success is not accidental.
The other employees of Chixing studio also have similar ideas with Cai Jiadong.
It feels so good to lie down and win!
However, seeing the expressions of Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin, Cai Jiadong knew that he was making a fuss, and this was just the basic operation of Mr. Pei.
When there was a small problem with the publicity plan before, I was worried, but Lin Wan, Ye Zhizhou, Wang Xiaobin and others did not show any expressions of worry at all, which was enough to show the gap between the two sides in terms of realm.
This kind of unconditional trust in Mr. Pei may be the biggest gap between the two sides!
"It's just... why does it feel like Mr. Lin is not that happy?"
Cai Jiadong was a little puzzled.
If it was in the original company, the boss would have been so happy that everyone would have disappeared, and the whole company would have fallen into a half-holiday state.
The project is completed, and you have made a lot of money, so what are you working hard for?
Let everyone take a vacation first, and then come back and fish for two or three months, just do it, fix bugs for the game, make some new versions and so on, wouldn’t it be beautiful?
But Lin Wan didn't have a happy expression on her face, instead she seemed to have something on her mind.
"Old Cai, come to the meeting room, I have something to discuss with you." Lin Wan walked over and said in a low voice.
Cai Jiadong nodded quickly: "Alright Mr. Lin."
The two came to the conference room one after the other and sat down.
Lin Wan frowned, thoughtful, and didn't speak immediately.
Cai Jiadong waited for a while and asked, "Mr. Lin, haven't our VR glasses and games been a big success? How do you think you are still worried?"
Lin Wan was silent for a while, then sighed softly, and said, "I never understood why Mr. Pei always frowns after every successful project. Now I finally understand Mr. Pei's feelings."
"Although I was also the person in charge of Shangyang Games before, after all, there is Mr. Pei on top, so I feel at ease. But now Chixing Studio is supposed to operate independently in name, and I can't ask Mr. Pei for help too much. I immediately Feeling a lot of pressure.”
"The success of Chixing Studio has far exceeded our original expectations, which means that we must demand ourselves with higher standards. If the next game is made to disappoint players, it is a completely unacceptable thing gone."
Cai Jiadong was stunned.
It turned out to be the reason!
After working in Tenda for a long time, he will naturally worry about the future, like Mr. Pei, "worry about the world's worries first".
But after thinking about it, it is normal for Lin to have such thoughts.
Although the success of Doubt VR glasses is the result of the joint efforts of all departments and all employees, in the final analysis, it still depends on the guidance of President Pei and the help of Shangyang Games.
If it wasn't for Mr. Pei's efforts to overcome all opinions, increase the budget and finalize the direction of the game, and repeatedly polish and modify various details of the game, it would be absolutely impossible to achieve the current level.
But Shangyang Games can't always come to help, they also have game development tasks; Mr. Pei is so busy with work, it may not always come to give guidance on new games.
So, can Chixing Studio carry out new projects on its own without the help of Shangyang Games?
This is a very severe test.
The game "Animal Island" itself is a casual game with online gameplay and a relatively long lifespan. So there is no need to release too many DLC or update content in the later stage.
Soon, Chixing Studio will be faced with a decision, whether to keep maintaining "Animal Island" is a waste of money, or start a new project as soon as possible?
With Mr. Lin's character, he would definitely choose the latter without hesitation.
But starting a new project based on the success of "Animal Island" is a very risky thing in itself.
Cai Jiadong asked: "Boss Lin, are you worried about new projects?"
Lin Wan nodded: "Yes, I have no idea yet."
Cai Jiadong thought for a while, and comforted him: "There is no need to worry too much about this matter. Settling down for two or three months, think slowly, and there is absolutely enough time."
Lin Wan immediately shook her head: "That won't work."
"Mr. Pei always thinks about what to do for the next project when a project is just successful. Only with such a long-term thinking can we coordinate various projects, plan strategies, and keep everything under control."
"Although I can't achieve Mr. Pei's level now, I still have to work hard to make the two projects seamlessly connect."
"Time is precious and cannot be delayed."
"I'm mainly struggling with one thing now, should I continue to make VR games?"
Cai Jiadong was stunned for a moment: "Of course I will continue to make VR games! Why not?"
Lin Wan's thoughts surprised him very much.
Chixing Studio has just made a name for itself with Doubt VR and "Animal Island", and now VR glasses are selling well. As long as it continues to release VR games and maintain the current quality, it can continue this success.
At this time, I plan to stop making VR games. What's the reason?
Lin Wan explained: "Actually, when Chixing Studio was established, it was not planned to go in the direction of VR games. It was President Pei who suggested it. We thought it would be okay, so we gave it a try."
"Although it was successful, I thought about it and felt that VR is not a long-term solution after all."
"The point is, I called Lao Song just now and had a brief chat."
"He said that the technology of VR glasses may not have much development in the past two or three years."
"Lao Song is a professional, and what he said is very credible."
"VR glasses are different from mobile phones. Various new technologies of mobile phones have been applied to mass production very quickly. Basically, the product form in a year can be roughly estimated. For example, technologies such as folding screens and under-screen cameras have already emerged. It is expected that it will be officially mass-produced within the next one or two years."
"But the situation of VR glasses is different. Lao Song said that unless there is an unexpected technological breakthrough, the resolution of VR glasses will remain at the current level within two or three years, and it will be difficult to make significant progress."
"In other words, VR is likely to be stagnant for a period of time in the future."
"The success of Doubt VR glasses can be said to be the right timing. When the market did not realize the potential of VR games, it made a product that integrates the current technical level."
"But if VR does not make great progress for a long time in the future, then the popularity of the entire VR industry will only get lower and lower. It is not wise for us to continue to fight with VR."
"It's better to make a few regular games and wait and see. There is no need to bet all your treasures on an uncertain future."
Cai Jiadong nodded, it makes sense to say so.
If the VR industry will develop rapidly in the future and technology will continue to break through, it is of course a logical choice to bet all your treasures on VR.
But what if the VR industry will get colder and worse in the future?
Then, wishful thinking in VR here is very uneconomical.
This question really stumped Cai Jiadong.
How easy is it to gain insight into the future of an industry?
Cai Jiadong was silent for a long time, and said: "Boss Lin, this question is difficult for me, how would I know?"
"Why don't we ask Mr. Pei..."
I should have made up what I owed before, and I will start adding updates to the cute masters tomorrow. In addition, if you have a monthly pass, you can wait until the end of the month to vote again. It seems that there is a double monthly pass event.
