Chapter 1159 The new game 'Real Estate Agent Simulator'!
Pei Qian fell into silence.
It sounds so reliable!
Now that Chi Xing Studio has become an instant success in the field of VR, it is indeed quite a challenge to continue to delve into the field of VR, follow the operating standards established in "Animal Island", change the game content, and develop a new VR game.
A sound decision.
After the game is produced, with the reputation of Chixing Studio and Tengda, the possibility of making money is very high.
Seeing Mr. Pei fall into silence, Cai Jiadong was a little disappointed.
Sure enough, my idea was too simple and 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 there are certain risks in this choice."
"I had a chat with Lao Song, the product manager of VR glasses. He said that Doubt VR glasses have used all the currently available VR glasses technologies. It is a comprehensive product. It is not optimistically estimated that in the next two to three years,
The form of VR glasses products may not change much."
"What I'm worried about is that once the development of VR glasses products stagnates, the VR industry will definitely cool down quickly. By then, the games we have invested heavily in developing may not be able to recover the cost because the market is not big enough."
"So, my idea is, don't put all your eggs in one basket."
"Conventional games and VR games can be developed alternately, or dual versions can be made 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 still survive well."
Pei Qian continued to remain silent.
It sounds... makes sense!
Lin Wan's plan is more solid and stable.
According to her method, Chi Xing Studio can not only reap the dividends of VR games, but also use its previous experience and advantages in developing traditional games to avoid risks and make money steadily.
This is awesome, no matter what you choose, you seem to be able to make money...
However, Lin Wan still provided a very useful information, that is, the VR industry has little 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 VR craze will only last for a short period of time, and then it will cool down sharply. The "VR gaming era" that many people are looking forward to is over before it even begins.
Therefore, the plans of these two people will definitely not work, and we have to think of a plan that will cause heavy losses in money.
Continue to spend huge sums of money to develop VR games, and cannot develop VR games that seem to have a high chance of success!
As Cai Jiadong said, it is absolutely impossible to develop a AAA-sized FPS game. The probability of success is too high.
Pei Qian concluded that the success of "Animal Island" was mainly because the idea was not outrageous enough.
He decided to make the "Animal Island" project before, mainly because he was busy talking during meetings. After rejecting several directions such as realistic FPS and movie-based games, he inexplicably settled on the direction of cartoon style and casual games.
Then it was pieced together and after many people's brainstorming, "Animal Island" was born.
Looking back at the game "Animal Island" now, Pei Qian found that it was obviously too reliable.
How could I allow Chi Xing Studio to develop such a reliable game in the first place?
No wonder it failed so miserably.
Therefore, Pei Qian feels that the main reason why the VR game did not fail is that he was lazy at the beginning and his ideas were not outrageous enough.
This time, if you come up with a particularly outrageous VR game idea and invest a huge amount of money, coupled with the general trend of the VR industry gradually cooling down in the future, you will definitely lose money!
Thinking of this, Pei Qian coughed twice and said, "You two have the right ideas."
"but……"
"Obviously it still doesn't meet my previous definition of the word 'chixing'."
"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, Chi Xing means bold assumptions, careful verification, and a long-term vision when setting goals. Although the road is said to be taken step by step, just focus on your steps.
Without foresight, we will still take detours.”
"Also, only by daring to make breakthroughs can we make progress. No previous project has ever succeeded because of 'stability'."
"Could it be that...Mr. Pei, you think my current thinking is too stable?"
Pei Qian nodded. The class representative summed it up well. He is a good candidate.
Cai Jiadong was thoughtful.
"really……"
"When Chi Xing Studio first started, VR games had not yet appeared, and making a game like "Animal Island" was already considered a relatively risky behavior."
"But now that Doubt VR glasses have been successful, it is no longer an adventure to make a regular VR game step by step."
Lin Wan thought for a while and said: "So, Mr. Pei, what do you mean, we should continue to invest more in making VR games, and at the same time make a very novel game that has never been made before?"
Pei Qian nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, that's what it means!"
"Don't be afraid of failure. If you are afraid of failure, you will never achieve real success."
The implication is, if you rest on your laurels and keep making money, how can I stand it?
It must take a lot of risks and a lot of failures before such a huge family fortune can be ruined.
Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong each nodded, with a look of surprise on their faces.
Sure enough, Mr. Pei's way of looking at problems is still so unique and so sharp!
But, what new ideas does Mr. Pei have this time?
Pei Qian coughed twice and said, "My idea this time is to make a realistic game."
"The game will be set in Jingzhou, with realistic painting style, fine modeling, and real-person motion capture. The investment must be huge!"
"And the identity of the characters in the game... is a rather annoying and boring profession in reality."
Putting the most annoying profession in reality into the game and letting players get involved in this profession should make players run away with nausea, right?
It’s a realistic theme again, so it’s boring to think about.
As for what this kind of profession is...
There are many kinds, and Pei Qian didn't think much about them.
He looked at Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong, and it was obvious that he had to count on them to figure things out at this time.
Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong looked at each other, and neither of them guessed at first what occupation Mr. Pei was talking about.
Cai Jiadong was silent for a while and said tentatively: "Uh... a real estate agent?"
Pei Qian immediately slapped the table: "Yes, that's it!"
In reality, real estate agency is definitely a very annoying industry.
Of course, as I said before, it’s not about how most people who work as real estate agents are like, but the nature of this job, as well as the nature of most real estate agency companies, determines that this job is not easy to do.
There are other ways, and many people would not choose to do this.
Turning this into a game, even thinking about it with your feet feels very boring and very discouraging to players.
The basic gameplay of the game is nothing more than constantly showing customers the house, selling the house, and clicking on the dialogue options on the screen. The gameplay has no depth at all.
It can be said to be quite a waste to use detailed modeling and real-person motion capture for such a boring game.
There will also be a lot of useless dialogue and text in the game, all of which are voiced by real people, which is another waste of money.
It should be impossible to make money from such an outrageous game, right?
In fact, Pei Qian didn't think about what kind of career simulator he wanted to be at 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 and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he added: "Of course, this is just an immature idea of mine. If you feel it is inappropriate, you can do something else."
"Also, we must be fully prepared before establishing the project development, which will start as soon as next month."
Nominally speaking, Tengda Group and Chi Xing Studio only have an investment relationship, and Pei Qian cannot "order" Chi Xing Studio to develop a certain game.
But Pei Qian believed that Lin Wan and the others would definitely do it.
…
After sending Mr. Pei away, Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong changed from one kind of confusion to another.
Mr. Pei pointed out the direction for them, but why does it sound a bit unreliable?
Anyone who sees this message can receive cash. Method: Follow the WeChat public account [Book Friends Base Camp].
Cai Jiadong said: "Mr. Lin, according to what Mr. Pei said..."
"A game with a real estate agent as the protagonist can only be a 'real estate agent simulator'..."
"But what's the point of simulating this?"
"The work of a real estate agent is very boring. Every day is nothing more than taking clients to see houses, posting online, looking for housing, etc."
"In reality, many people are not willing to do this job, let alone if it is made into a game?"
Lin Wan's expression was solemn and she was lost in thought.
"Since Mr. Pei said he can do it, he must have enough ways to support it."
"Games must be based on reality and higher than reality."
"We can actually design it like this: the protagonist is a new real estate agent who rents a house at the beginning. His job is to show customers the house, introduce the house to the customer, and earn commissions. But as the game progresses, he can also open
Own company, build your own brand.”
"In the early days, the main character is looking at houses. Different customers have different preferences. Whether you tell the truth about the shortcomings of the house or deceive the customers, you will have to bear the corresponding consequences."
"After the protagonist is promoted to store manager, he will have a certain degree of autonomy, change the layout and structure of the house, and renovate some old houses to attract more customers and earn the rent difference."
"After that, 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 in his own house, and do some simple entertainment.
"
“In this way, the gameplay of the game is still very rich. It can be a real estate agent simulator, evaluating the shortcomings of the house, communicating with customers to promote orders, or it can be a decoration simulator, planning the layout and decoration style of the room, and
Ratings are given by the system.”
"We can even cooperate with Sloth Apartment and furniture manufacturers that meet the standards to link them in the game."
"From 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 real life."
