Cai Jiadong thought for a while: "In this case..."
"Allowing players to design their own clothes means a lot of work. The various fabrics, materials, and styles of clothes in reality must be reflected in the game, and this thing cannot be designed to be too complicated. It must be as good as now
Like the ESRO editor, it can be relatively simple for novices to get started, instead of turning it into a complex tool that only professionals can use..."
"On this point alone, a lot of energy will be spent. Even if it is made, there will definitely be no energy left to make other gameplays."
"So...this game becomes a tailor simulator?"
"Moreover, its fun will be greatly reduced. It is likely to be a dilemma where everything is good but not fun. It may also become a platform for some niche experts to enjoy themselves, and ordinary players will not be able to fully enjoy it.
Integration makes it impossible to recover development costs..."
Pei Qian became happier the more he listened.
Isn't this just right?
This is what I want to achieve!
This Cai Jiadong simply said everything that was on my mind!
The points mentioned by Cai Jiadong are indeed very reasonable. From a purely technical level, this game is not difficult to make based on the current accumulation of the entire domestic game industry.
The key is whether the resources, manpower, time, etc. invested are directly proportional to the final output.
It would be very embarrassing if so many resources were invested, but in the end it was unable to gain a large number of players due to lack of interest and fell into the predicament of no one paying attention.
Pei Qian was thinking about how to answer Cai Jiadong's question.
As a result, before he could speak, Lin Wan spoke first.
"I think Mr. Pei's idea is okay, no problem!"
"This type of game is still blank in the game market, so there is a lot of room for development."
"It doesn't matter if the workload is heavy. There are trade-offs in these things. We abandoned the conventional gameplay and focused all our energy on allowing players to design their own clothes. This can be regarded as completing differentiated competition."
"When we focus on overcoming this point, we will naturally be completely different from other similar games. If the game becomes popular by then, we will slowly develop other derivative gameplay, such as dressing up, developing, etc.
Late."
"It doesn't matter if the game doesn't become popular. We can change the costumes and develop them, and maybe we can make a comeback."
"This approach is indeed the most relevant to reality. What's wrong with the tailor simulator? If it's more elegant, it should be called a fashion designer."
"We have a large enough user base, and the wisdom of players is endless. As long as the game we make can inspire players' creative enthusiasm and give them a broad enough platform, a number of excellent works will inevitably emerge.
"
"Don't "Safe and Civilized Driving" and "Real Estate Agent Simulator" both follow this path? Since both the driver simulator and the agent simulator can be successful, why can't the tailor simulator be successful?"
Pei Qian nodded frequently when he heard the previous paragraph.
Well, very good, Lin Wan helped me think of the wording of my rebuttal, so I don’t have to rack my brains to think about it!
After cultivating everyone, the effect is indeed immediate. In the past, Pei Qian had to find a way to convince his subordinates who raised questions, but now there is no need, someone will do it for him!
But after hearing the last sentence, Pei Qian felt something was wrong.
It's okay not to mention "Safe and Civilized Driving" and "Real Estate Agent Simulator". When mentioning these two games, Pei Qian naturally thought of their painful lessons in making money.
unlucky!
This is a bit too unlucky.
If this tailor simulator is like these two games, then...
Pei Qian was still struggling when he heard Cai Jiadong continue: "But... Mr. Lin, I still think there are differences between these three games."
"The core gameplay of "Safe and Civilized Driving" and "Real Estate Agent Simulator" are driving and decorating a room respectively. These two core gameplays actually have successful precedents and are relatively mature and market-proven gameplay modes."
"We just need to dig deep into the fun of this mode, make it the ultimate, and integrate it into the game, and we'll basically be sure of it."
"But when tailors design clothes... this is not a mature or successful model. I think the risks involved need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis."
Lin Wan nodded slightly and fell into deep thought again: "Well...it makes sense."
The working model of Chixing Studio is similar to that of Tengda. Although the leader has the final say, in most cases it is not a one-word model. Instead, he will fully listen to the opinions of his subordinates, fully discuss and confirm them, and then finally make a decision.
Make a decision.
The final decision may not satisfy everyone's requirements, or even satisfy most people in some cases, but the process cannot be skipped and must be the result of full discussion and trade-offs.
These doubts raised by Cai Jiadong do have some validity, so Lin Wan needs to think about it again.
Everyone else is thinking too.
They felt that Mr. Pei must have a clear idea, but the reason why he did not interrupt was because he hoped that everyone could think independently and give their own answers, and could not rely on Mr. Pei's blanket for everything.
But in fact, Pei Qian was also wavering at this time.
He felt that he seemed to be a bit like a horse...
Why do you have the same problem as Lao Ma? After Cai Jiadong finished speaking, he felt that what Cai Jiadong said made sense, and after finishing speaking, Lin Wan felt that Lin Wan made sense. Who has the final say depends on who is the last to say...
This is not okay, it is a very bad phenomenon!
Pei Qian felt that he still had to firm up his thoughts and not waver.
Considering the current situation, this game is indeed the best solution for Chi Xing Studio.
Thinking of an idea that can make you lose more money? Pei Qian really can't think of one.
What's more, Pei Qian also has three major players, Tengda Games, Yangyang Games, and Feihuang Studio, who need to be arranged. Even if he has any good ideas for losing money, he must give priority to these three.
As for Chi Xing Studio...it's enough to achieve this level.
Seeing that the discussion had reached an impasse again, Pei Qian coughed twice and said, "I think the current situation can be developed while we're at it."
"In the gaming industry, controversy is actually a good thing. It at least shows that we are on a relatively correct path."
"If everyone thinks it's OK, that might be the biggest problem."
"During the development process, we accept disputes, improve them, and slowly explore the best form of this game."
"So, don't think so much, just develop it first!"
"Some games cannot be seen in their complete form until they are actually made."
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Is controversy a good thing?
Not controversial, but maybe the biggest problem?
What does this mean?
Everyone looked at each other, a little confused, but after all, there were still many smart people, and they quickly understood.
There is a qualifier for Mr. Pei’s words, in the game industry!
If all designers think that a certain solution is okay, this is a very dangerous sign.
There is no perfect solution in the world, and there must be trade-offs. The level of designers also varies, and some of them must have wrong views.
If the designers unanimously agree that a certain solution is fine, it can only mean that the solution is mediocre. All the seemingly shortcomings have been polished away, but its advantages are naturally gone.
Controversy is a necessary process towards the optimal solution.
Mr. Pei has always dared to be the first, and the most fearless thing is taking risks.
Thinking of this, Lin Wan immediately decided: "Okay, let's do it!"
"As for the name of this game..."
Pei Qian stood up immediately: "You can just think of the name yourself!"
If you don't leave, the heavy responsibility of naming will fall on your shoulders again.
Although I am a little genius in naming, I can’t exploit him so frequently!
At first, Pei Qian chose the name in order to give himself a good luck, but now he found that the good luck name did not seem to achieve the effect he wanted.
In this case, let’s leave this task to them and let’s start with love!
…
After leaving Chi Xing's studio, Pei Qian sat in the car returning to the company and casually scrolled through his phone.
"Hmm? Registration for the Suffering Tour is open again?"
"Oh no, the situation is so hot again?"
"Is something wrong?"
Pei Qian felt deeply confused.
Last month, my travels were suspended for a month.
The main reason is that after the registration was opened before, the backlog of applicants was too large. The current carrying capacity of Suffering Travel can only take a dozen people in one phase, which is completely insufficient. Therefore, we must seize the time to expand, train, and improve the carrying capacity of Suffering Travel.
quantity.
Therefore, the suffering travel business was suspended for a month, and Bao Xu and Sa Ziran were busy recruiting some wilderness survival masters, experts, retired special forces, nutritionists, doctors and other personnel to organize them for a unified
Train, then rent and renovate more indoor training bases to increase the number of members who suffer from travel as much as possible.
After a month of busy work, the carrying capacity of Suffering Travel should have been greatly increased, so those who signed up before have eaten a large portion and can start a new round of registration.
Pei Qian originally thought that there were some special reasons for the overwhelming number of registrations.
For example, although suffering travel is very strange, there is a small group of people who like it; Tenda has too many die-hard fans and has no brains to participate; there may be some companies that support and sign up collectively... similar situations.
Since it is a niche demand, there must be a day when it can be eaten clean, right?
When the suffering travel increases its carrying capacity, and the number of people it brings increases every time, and the needs of the niche are almost satisfied, won’t it be possible to happily start losing money?
But reality really hit Pei Qian hard in the face: This is still so hot!
