Chapter 1157 New Game "Real Estate Agency Simulator"!
Pei Qian fell silent.
It sounds so reliable!
Now that Chixing Studio has become a hit in the VR field, it is indeed quite a challenge to continue to cultivate the VR field, modify the game content, and develop a new VR game according to the operating standards established in "Animal Island". Safe decision.
After the game is made, with the reputation of Chixing Studio and Tenda, there is a great possibility of making money.
Seeing Mr. Pei fell silent, Cai Jiadong was a little disappointed.
Sure enough, my idea was too simple, far from the standard answer in Mr. Pei's mind.
Lin Wan took over the conversation: "Lao Cai's choice is indeed the most reasonable choice under normal thinking."
"However, I think this choice also has certain risks."
"I chatted with Lao Song, the product manager of VR glasses, and he said that Doubt VR glasses have already used all the currently available VR glasses technology. It is a comprehensive product. It is not optimistic that in the next two to three years, The form of VR glasses products may not change much.”
"What I am worried about is that once the development of VR glasses products stagnates, the VR industry will definitely cool down quickly. At that time, the games we have invested heavily in development may not be able to recover the cost because the market is not big enough."
"So, my thinking is, don't put all your eggs in one basket."
"It is possible to develop regular games and VR games alternately, or make dual versions when the project is first established."
"In this way, even if the VR industry shrinks sharply in the future, Chixing Studio can continue to make traditional games and live well."
Pei Qian remained silent.
It sounds... so reasonable!
Lin Wan's plan was more solid and secure.
According to her method, Chixing Studio can not only enjoy the dividends of VR games, but also use the experience and advantages of developing traditional games before, avoid risks, and make money steadily.
This is so meow, no matter how you choose, it seems that you will make money...
However, Lin Wan still provided a very useful piece of information, that is, the VR industry has no technical reserves and is likely to stagnate or even shrink in the future.
This is completely consistent with the state of the VR industry in Pei Qian's memory.
Due to technical reasons, the upsurge of VR will only last for a short period of time, and then it will cool down sharply. The "VR game era" that many people are looking forward to has ended before it even started.
Therefore, the plans of these two people must not work, and they have to think of a plan that loses money and loses money.
Continue to spend huge sums of money to develop VR games, and you can't develop VR games that seem to have a high chance of success!
As Cai Jiadong said, it is absolutely impossible to develop a 3A FPS game, the chance of success is too high.
Pei Qian concluded that the success of "Animal Island" is mainly because the idea is not outrageous enough.
Before he decided to do the "Animal Island" project, it was mainly to catch up with the conversation during the meeting. After negating several directions such as realistic FPS and movie-based games, he inexplicably finalized the direction of cartoon-style and casual games.
Then, after patching together, after many people's brains, "Animal Island" was born.
Now looking back at the game "Animal Island", Pei Qian found that it was obviously too reliable.
How could I allow Chixing Studio to develop such a reliable game?
No wonder it failed so badly.
Therefore, Pei Qian felt that the reason why the VR game did not fail was mainly because he was lazy at the beginning, and his ideas were not outrageous enough.
This time, I brought up a particularly outrageous VR game idea, invested a huge amount of money, and coupled with the general trend of the VR industry gradually cooling down in the future, I will definitely lose money!
Thinking of this, Pei Qian coughed lightly and said, "Both of you are quite right."
"but……"
"Obviously it still doesn't meet my previous definition of the word 'late travel'."
"Think about it, what did you say before you decided to make a VR game?"
Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong looked at each other.
Cai Jiadong said: "I remember. At that time, everyone was talking about making mobile games. Mr. Pei, you said that Chi Xing means bold assumptions and careful verification. When setting goals, we must have a long-term vision. If you don’t have a vision, you will still take a detour.”
"What's more, only by daring to break through can we make progress. None of the previous projects have been successful because of 'seeking stability'."
"Could it be... Mr. Pei, do you think my current thinking is too steady?"
Pei Qian nodded, the class representative summed it up well, and he is a good seed.
Cai Jiadong was thoughtful.
"really……"
"When Chixing Studio first started, VR games hadn't appeared yet, so making a game like "Animal Island" was considered a relatively risky behavior."
"But now that Doubt VR glasses have been successful, it is not a risk to make a regular VR game step by step."
Lin Wan thought for a while and said, "Then, Mr. Pei, you mean that we should continue to increase investment in VR games, and at the same time make a very novel game that has never been made before?"
Pei Qian nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, that's what it means!"
"Don't be afraid of failure, if you are afraid of failure, you will never be able to achieve real success."
The implication is, if you live on your laurels and keep making money, how can I stand it?
It must take many risks and failures to ruin this huge family fortune.
Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong nodded each, with a dazed expression on their faces.
Sure enough, Mr. Pei's way of looking at problems is still so unique, so sharp!
But, what new ideas does Boss Pei have this time?
Pei Qian coughed twice, and said, "This time, my idea is to make a game with a realistic theme."
"The game will be set in Jingzhou, with realistic painting style, fine modeling, and real-life motion capture. The investment must be huge!"
"And the identity of the character in the game...in reality, it is a more annoying and boring class of occupation."
Putting the most annoying profession in reality into the game and letting players into this profession should be able to make players run away with nausea, right?
It's a realistic theme again, it's boring to think about it.
As for what kind of profession is this...
There are many kinds, and Pei Qian didn't think too much about them.
He looked at Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong, obviously at this time he had to rely on their imaginations.
Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong looked at each other, but they didn't immediately guess what occupation Mr. Pei was talking about.
Cai Jiadong was silent for a while, and tentatively said, "Uh...a real estate agency?"
Pei Qian slapped the table immediately: "Yes, that's it!"
Real estate agency is definitely a very annoying industry.
Of course, the same sentence does not mean that most people who work as real estate agents are good, but the nature of this job and the nature of most housing agency companies determine that this job is not easy to do.
There are other ways, and many people would not choose to do this.
Make this into a game, even if you think about it with your feet, it is very boring and very dissuading players.
The basic gameplay of the game is nothing more than constantly showing customers houses, selling houses, and clicking on the dialogue options on the screen. The gameplay has no depth at all.
Such a boring game, using fine modeling and live motion capture, can be said to be quite wasteful.
There will also be a lot of useless dialogue and text in the game, all of which are dubbed by real people, which is another waste of money.
Such an outrageous game, it should be impossible to make money, right?
In fact, Pei Qian didn't think about what kind of job simulator he wanted to be in the beginning, but after hearing what Cai Jiadong said, he suddenly felt that a real estate agency was quite suitable.
That's it!
Pei Qian stood up, ready to leave.
Before leaving, he added: "Of course, this is just an immature idea of mine. If you feel inappropriate, you can do other things."
"Also, full preparations must be made before the development of the project is approved, and it will start next month at the earliest."
Nominally speaking, Tenda Group and Chixing Studio are just an investment relationship, and Pei Qian cannot "order" Chixing Studio to develop a certain game.
But Pei Qian believed that Lin Wan and the others would definitely follow suit.
...
After seeing off President Pei, Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong changed from one kind of confusion to another kind of confusion.
Mr. Pei pointed out the direction for them, but why does it sound a bit unreliable?
Cai Jiadong said: "Boss Lin, according to Boss Pei..."
"A game with a real estate agent as the protagonist can only be a 'real estate agent simulator'..."
"But what's there to simulate?"
"The work of a real estate agency is very boring. Every day is nothing more than taking clients to see houses, posting online, looking for houses, etc."
"Many people are not willing to do this job in reality, let alone make it into a game?"
Lin Wan's expression was solemn and she fell into deep thought.
"Since Boss Pei says he can do it, there must be enough ways to support it."
"The game must be based on reality and higher than reality."
"We can actually design it like this: the protagonist is a newcomer real estate agent who rents a house at the beginning. His job is to show customers houses, introduce houses to customers, and earn commissions to make money. But as the game progresses, he can also open Create your own company and build your own brand.”
"In the early days, the protagonists were mainly house inspections. Different customers have different preferences. Whether they want to tell the truth about the shortcomings of the house or deceive customers, they will bear the corresponding consequences."
"After the protagonist is promoted to the store manager, he can have a certain degree of autonomy, change the layout and structure of the house, and renovate some old houses, so as to attract more customers and earn the difference in rent."
"Afterwards, after the protagonist builds his own brand, he can also customize furniture with furniture manufacturers, and deeply renovate the house according to his favorite style. He can also save money to buy his own house, rest and have some simple entertainment in his own house. "
"In this way, the gameplay of the game is still very rich. It can be a real estate agency simulator, judging the shortcomings of the house, communicating with customers to facilitate orders, or a decoration simulator, planning the layout and decoration style of the room, and Scored by the system."
"We can even cooperate with sloth apartments and furniture manufacturers that meet the standards to link in the game."
"Under the perspective of VR, players can clearly see the structure and layout of a house, which will also be very helpful to many people who also need to buy or rent a house in reality."
