Chapter 1331 Release of 'Real Estate Agent Simulator'
The day after Qiao Liang went on a painful trip, "Real Estate Agent Simulator" was officially released!
In Chi Xing Studio, designers including Cai Jiadong are busy.
Although the development work and preliminary publicity work of the game have been completed, everyone still feels quite unsure.
Because both the timing of the release and the current public opinion environment are not good, strictly speaking.
Originally, Cai Jiadong wanted to wait until the 1st of next month to release the product. That day happened to be Saturday, so I felt the time was most suitable.
But at Meng Chang's strong request, it was released today, Tuesday, November 27th.
This time is very unpopular, it is the end of the month and it is a working day, so the data is naturally shorter.
And judging from the early publicity and public opinion environment, the popularity is there, but it is really not a good one.
Although Meng Chang spent a lot of publicity resources, he was just messing around with that one promotional video.
This film does not directly mention "Real Estate Agent Simulator". On the surface, it just shows everyone how difficult the work of an ordinary real estate agent is.
The hot publicity of the Home Group has caused a sharp confusion in the public opinion environment.
Yes, it's chaos, not a sharp deterioration.
Because of its huge size, the Jujia Group actually plays a role in guiding and controlling public opinion. Although the promotional video shot by the Jujia Group and the series of publicity it launched were scolded, in this guiding and controlling role
It really stole a lot of heat.
Nowadays, the focus of discussion online, whether it is positive or negative reviews, has almost all shifted to the Home Group.
As for the original promotional video?
On the contrary, because it was not extreme enough, it was gradually ignored by people.
Some people even mistakenly thought that this promotional video was also shot by the Home Group, and even took it with them to criticize it.
As for the "Real Estate Agent Simulator" that has been hidden behind the scenes, only a small number of core players who have been paying attention know that it will be released today.
As for the passer-by players, many of them don’t even know anything about it.
After all, most casual players have their own jobs and receive too much new game information on a daily basis. Under the promotion plan of Chixing Studio, it is normal for them not to know about the game "Real Estate Agent Simulator".
But no matter what, everyone still trusts Meng Chang.
Therefore, as Meng Chang hoped, "Real Estate Agent Simulator" was quietly recommended on the game store and home page of Doubt VR glasses at this relatively unpopular time at the end of the month.
…
night.
Not long after Ding Xiyao returned to her rented sloth apartment, there was a knock on the door outside.
Most of Tenda's employees live in sloth apartments. Of course, many of them have bought their own houses.
As a new employee, Ding Xiyao was also assigned to the Sloth Apartment as a staff dormitory.
Compared with the place she rented before, the conditions of the Sloth Apartment were obviously much better, so Ding Xiyao moved in without saying a word.
"Hello, your express delivery." There was a guy from Nifeng Logistics at the door.
Ding Xiyao was a little surprised because she didn't remember buying anything in the past two days.
What's more, the courier boy was dragging two large boxes and several small boxes behind him.
Ding Xiyao was a little confused. After confirming that these things were indeed for her, she let the courier guy in.
The courier boy first handed a small box to Ding Xiyao and then began to unpack these large boxes.
Inside the big box is a complete set of ROF host and supporting peripherals such as monitor, keyboard and mouse, which were assembled by the courier boy and placed on the desk, and debugging was completed.
Ding Xiyao opened the small box in her hand and found a card and an unopened Doubt VR glasses inside.
The card was written by Meng Chang, to the effect of thanking Ding Xiyao for her help in filming the promotional video. Today, "Real Estate Agent Simulator" was officially launched, so I gave her a set of computers and VR equipment so that she could experience it if she is interested.
"Oh, that's too polite. I've obviously been paid for the film..."
Ding Xiyao was a little embarrassed, she gave too much!
She felt that she didn't do anything in the promotional video and had no acting skills to speak of. She just made a few moves and expressions as requested by Meng Chang.
What's more, this promotional video has not had any effect so far, so Ding Xiyao is still blaming herself, wondering if she didn't perform well.
After all, she is the only starring role in this promotional video. Is it possible that because people don’t like her face, the promotional video does not have the desired effect?
The courier boy quickly completed the task and left. Ding Xiyao adjusted the VR glasses and was ready to experience the game.
After all, it has something to do with me, and a complete set of equipment has been delivered to my door, so I should go and support it no matter what.
The entrance to the game can be found on the main interface of the Doubt VR glasses, which is very convenient. After all, it is the son's game of Chi Xing Studio, so this treatment is definitely there.
Open a door and the game officially begins.
During the process of loading the game, an opening CG was played first.
Strictly speaking, this is not CG, but a promotional video shot in real life.
Ding Xiyao was a little surprised: "Ah? Isn't this the promotional video I shot?"
Compared with the version released online, this promotional video has not changed much, except that the game title of "Real Estate Agent Simulator" and the logo of Chixing Studio appear in the last scene.
The promotional video previously posted online did not have the game title or studio logo.
Ding Xiyao felt a little embarrassed when she saw her own performance, especially when she saw the scene where she was wiping tears secretly at home. She always felt that her acting skills were not quite up to par.
There is nothing we can do about it. After all, she is not a professional actor. Even if she acts according to the real situation, it will be difficult to express her emotions deeply and in a layered manner. Naturally, it will be difficult to impress the audience.
But fortunately, this promotional video is not long, and it quickly enters the game scene.
Ding Xiyao found herself in a small agency store.
The space of the store is not large and the structure is quite simple. There is only an office area similar to the front desk, a consultation area with a coffee table and two single sofas, and some simple furnishings.
These scenes are obviously completely different from Ding Xiyao's previous work scenes when she was a real estate agent.
But it makes sense when you think about it. This is a game after all, and the working environment needs to be beautified.
If it were made according to a real intermediary store, the players might be dissuaded from the game as soon as it opens.
There are some basic operation guidelines in the game. Because this is a casual business game, the operations in the game are very simple. People like Ding Xiyao who rarely play VR games can get started quickly.
The next step is to go to the computer at the front desk, click to open the files and programs on the computer screen, check the property, accept the entrustment, match the house with the tenant, go to the house to inspect the house, understand the situation, and wait for the tenant
After visiting the tenant, he will introduce the features of the house to the tenant, facilitate the transaction, and finally extract a commission.
Perhaps out of concern that some novice players will be overwhelmed, the game also thoughtfully presents the entire process in the form of a flow chart. It can also display the player's progress in real time. There is a dedicated interface that can be viewed at any time.
For Ding Xiyao, who once worked as a real estate agent, this whole process is so easy to understand that she is so familiar with it that she can play it smoothly without any need for these tips.
Ding Xiyao used the controller to simulate her hands, dragged the computer screen in the game, and quickly determined the room type and target customers.
Because it is the early stage of the game, Ding Xiyao has very limited housing resources, only three units, and there are some "flaws" in these housing types.
One set is too small in area, one does not face south and lacks light, and the third set is not transparent enough.
After thinking about it, Ding Xiyao chose the last set. At least this defect was relatively acceptable.
I have to say that this game is quite benevolent. Players only need to choose one of the three sets that they are most satisfied with, and they can ignore the other two sets.
According to the settings in the game, this property database is shared, which is equivalent to the other two apartments being assigned to other agencies.
In reality, Ding Xiyao often encounters old houses that cannot be rented out for a long time and have problems everywhere. In this case, the store still has to find ways to rent it out.
Whether it's price reduction or cheating, in short, it all depends on the individual's own magic at this time. Under the pressure of performance, some intermediaries will inevitably start to use their brains and use some less glorious methods.
Determining the room type is only the first step. The next step is to select the customer and conduct on-site inspections in advance.
There are many customers to choose from in the game's computers, some live by themselves, some live with friends or couples, and their age, income and other factors vary.
Different clients have different levels of pickiness and specific points of interest in a house.
For example, some young people can hardly cook by themselves and only order takeout, so the small kitchen in the house is not a disadvantage at all and they will not be used anyway; but for some people who like to cook and cook,
If the kitchen is small or broken, it will be difficult to accept it.
After thinking about it, Ding Xiyao chose three groups of customers.
This is also a rigid rule of the game mechanism. You can select up to three groups of customers for each house. If none of them are negotiated, the task will be considered a failure. If more than one group of customers are negotiated, the two parties will increase each other's prices and increase the intermediary's commission.
This is also different from reality, obviously due to gameplay considerations.
Of course, this may also be because the game is currently in the early stages of novice experience, so various systems and gameplay have been simplified to a certain extent so that novices can quickly get started.
In the future, as the game progresses, some more difficult tasks may appear, and the corresponding restrictions should be gradually lifted.
The three groups of clients selected by Ding Xiyao were a young couple who had just graduated and started looking for jobs, a working-class person who had worked for several years with a relatively high income, and two girls who had been working for more than a year and were changing houses normally.
Of course, in addition, some of their detailed requirements are also noted in the system, such as the young couple needing to cook, and the two girls raising a cat.
These three groups of people are all relatively high-quality tenants selected by Ding Xiyao subconsciously, so the possibility of closing the deal will be higher.
Of course, these three groups of customers have different focuses on the house, so some improvisation is required.
After selecting these contents, you can set off to inspect the house on the spot.
I just briefly looked at the floor plan of the house on the computer and saw some problems with the room type, but many details still need to be investigated on the spot.
After the on-site inspection, you will meet the customer, introduce the house, answer the customer's questions, and facilitate the transaction.
Ding Xiyao pushed open the door of the intermediary store, and the camera quickly zoomed up to the community where the target was located.
