Chapter 1332 With Such a Good Game, Why Is the Publicity Not Strong?

The so-called simulation is definitely the more real the better, and even the ultimate goal is to be in line with reality and beyond reality.

In a sense, this game clearly does just that.

Finally, it is the characteristics of VR games that give this game extra points.

The same theme, if it is made into a PC game or a mobile game, the sense of substitution will be greatly reduced.

After all, on the PC side, players are facing a screen when playing games, and there will be an unreal sense of estrangement when moving, talking, and interacting.

But after getting the VR platform, this game brings the immersion and substitution of VR into full play. Players can walk back and forth in the virtual room, freely observe all corners of the room, and communicate with NPC face-to-face.

Compared with other simulation games, it will appear more realistic.

Many games that may be boring on the PC side become fun on the VR side, such as the action of wiping the oil in the kitchen.

If it is on the PC side, the player can only shake the mouse to complete the wiping action, but on the VR side, the player can actually make the wiping action.

Other actions, such as opening windows, opening doors, and moving the vase-like furnishings in the room, must also be done by the players themselves. Only on the VR side can these actions be fun.

Even a player like Ding Xiyao who doesn't play games often can appreciate the fun of it, and playing it for a long time is enough to show the skill of the production team.

It's just that the more in-depth understanding of the fun of this game, the more Ding Xiyao is puzzled by a question.

Such a good game, why does the publicity work pull the hips so much?

Originally, Ding Xiyao didn't know the specific content of this game at all, so he didn't have a good evaluation of this publicity plan.

But now it seems that there are many other ways to promote this game!

For example, put a short in-game video to show the huge changes in a house before and after the renovation; or hold a press conference and let some well-known anchors try it out.

Worst of all, what about making a beautiful promotional CG?

However, Meng Chang's promotional plan was to shoot a live-action promotional video, and the focus was not on the game content at all, but used a lot of space to show the hard work of the intermediary.

In the end, the name of the game was not even mentioned. Until now, many people think that this is a promotional film made by the home group.

The game is a good game, and the publicity expenses are not low, but in the end, this is the result?

Although Meng Chang contributed to Ding Xiyao's ability to be the heroine of this promotional film, it did not affect Ding Xiyao's feeling that Meng Chang's promotional plan was a failure.

"Forget it, this is not something I should worry about. The heads of each department of Tenda are very professional. Maybe they have some special plans."

Ding Xiyao didn't worry too much about this matter. After all, what she said didn't count. Instead of worrying about it, it is better to wait for the VR glasses to be fully charged and then push the game progress.

All I can say is, this game is really fun!

Wednesday, November 28.

"Real Estate Agent Simulator" has been on sale for more than a day, and everyone in Chixing Studio has been paying attention to the situation of this game.

Players' discussions of Real Estate Agent Simulator can be seen on many gaming forums.

"This game is so fun! It's poisonous! After I bought it yesterday, I played it for more than four hours at a stretch. My glasses were out of power and I couldn't stop playing when I was plugged in!"

"Stop talking, I'm going to buy liver protection tablets now."

"It's really addicting to play. I told myself five times and three times that I would go to rest after finishing this order. As a result, after this order was settled, I saw a house with a new type of apartment, and unlocked new furniture. The money is enough for me to learn something new... Hours passed before I knew it!"

"After a whole day of exploding my liver, I have basically figured out the game's routine. I think this game should be called 'Black Heart Intermediary Simulator'! If you want to make more money, the best way is to choose the right room type, Choose the right customer, and then find a way to make the tenant ignore the flaws in the house and find the right sales pitch, so that you can make money faster!"

"You are so embarrassed to call yourself a black-hearted agent? Where is this? You should learn from me. In fact, the furniture in these room types can also be freely replaced, and can be dragged to the warehouse for storage, or given to other apartment types. Use. My method is to dig out these furniture, keep only the minimum amount of furniture for each apartment, and evenly distribute the furniture, so that you don’t have to buy new furniture yourself, which can save a lot of money!”

"I have selected the occupations and identities of some 'high-quality tenants'. You can compare them according to this list. These people's expected psychological price is relatively high. Even if they are slashed, they are still profitable. Some' It's a complete waste of your time!"

"I summed up a room type problem table, which contains some common problems of room types. Although the room types in the game are randomly selected and automatically generated from the database, there are certain commonalities. This table should bring you some refer to."

"Is there a big guy who can develop a mod that automatically highlights the interactive options in the room? For example, the leaky windows, dirty stoves, etc. can be repaired, saving me from wandering around the house to find them, Obsessive-compulsive disorder can't hurt!"

"I have to say that the effect of this game is a bit unexpected, especially how so many different characters and voices are not repeated. How did you do it?"

"Some characters are reused. After all, the tenants in the same area are relatively fixed, and some old customers will come again. As for different customers, I guess the producer has invited a lot of people to give different dubbing for the same meaning. For example, there are at least a dozen or even dozens of different sayings for different NPCs, which do not sound like they are automatically generated by the system. The only thing I wonder is that it is not difficult to find a lot of people to dub, but how in the game What about lip-synching them?"

"I really didn't expect that games with this theme are actually very fun! So it's not a lack of beauty in life, but a lack of discovery! The game industry is not lacking in themes, but lacks designers who know how to make good use of themes!"

Judging from the current situation on the forum, most players' evaluation of the game "Real Estate Agent Simulator" is quite positive.

Because the first batch of players are basically either fans of Chixing Studio, fans of VR games, or core players of simulation management games.

The Real Estate Agent Simulator is clearly a game to their taste.

However, Cai Jiadong looked at these positive comments on "Real Estate Agency Simulator", but his face did not have much joy, but a little melancholy.

"This discussion is still not enough..."

"The sales on the first day can only be said to be quite satisfactory, not optimistic."

"Sure enough, the exposure is still not enough. Even with the platform of Doubt VR glasses as a blessing, it is still a little worse."

"It's enough for an ordinary game, but the investment in Real Estate Agent Simulator is too high, and unless it hits a certain level, it will be difficult to recover the cost."

"What's more, this game uses President Pei's idea. If it is not popular, it is equivalent to failure..."

"President Pei's golden signboard can't be in our hands, right? Otherwise, when others say, we are a team that even President Pei can't bring, which is too embarrassing!"

As the chief designer, he is of course very concerned about the status quo of the game.

It's just that the situation is not very optimistic since it was released.

The game's rating is very high, and it has not dropped 8.5 points since its release, but what worries Cai Jiadong is that this game has only been a self-promoting existence among a small number of players.

The reason why the score is high is because everyone who bought the game loves it.

But Cai Jiadong is very clear that, as a VR game with huge investment, if "Real Estate Agency Simulator" is to be successful and to become popular, it must break the circle, and can't just rely on these players who are keen on simulation business games. them.

Moreover, for things like breaking the circle, it's useless for game manufacturers to work hard, and it depends on passers-by players who like to play and are willing to be "tap water".

In terms of game mechanics, Cai Jiadong and the designers of Chixing Studio have left a hole, but players have not yet discovered it.

Now many players are thinking about the problem, and still stay on "how to make more money", trying hard to cut costs and fooling tenants, although they can get a lot of benefits in the short term, but there is a hidden setting in the game called "trust".

The tenant system in the game is relatively fixed but fluid, which is similar to the reality.

In other words, there are only so many tenants in this area. The tenants of the old house may renew the lease later, and the player may deal with the same tenant many times; of course, some new tenants will also appear. .

If the player always finds a way to trick the tenant, the first time can be successful, but the cost is reduced trust, the second time the conditions given by the tenant will change, and even the tenant will run away. It reappears in the system of the player's store.

In addition, players have a hidden "word of mouth", which depends on the trust of all tenants who have cooperated with players. Although a single tenant's trust has little impact on players' word-of-mouth, if it accumulates, it will also have a certain impact on the game content and cannot be ignored.

This setting, on the one hand, is to enrich the gameplay of the game and prevent the game from having the only "standard answer", and on the other hand, it is also in line with the spirit of Tenda and advocates a correct value orientation.

It's just that this is a hidden setting, so players won't find it at all in the short term.

Cai Jiadong vaguely felt that if this hidden setting could be shown as a breaking point, it might be able to push the game to a certain extent.

But how to do it? He couldn't tell either.

It can only be the same as the previous project, pinning hopes on Meng Chang and waiting patiently.
