Pei Qian fell silent.
It sounded very reliable!
Since Slow Movement Studio had already become popular in the VR field, it was indeed a safe decision to continue to dig deep into the VR field. According to the operating standards established in Animal Island, changing the game content and developing a new VR game was indeed a safe decision.
Given Slow Movement Workspace and Tengda's reputation, there was a high chance of making money after the game was created.
Cai Jiadong was a little disappointed to see Boss Pei fall silent.
Indeed, his idea was too simple. It was far from the standard answer in Boss Pei's heart.
Lin Wan continued. "Old Cai's choice is indeed the most reasonable one under normal thinking."
"However, I think there is a certain risk in this choice."
"I talked to the product manager of the VR glasses, Old Song, and he said that Doubt
He said that VR glasses have already used all the currently available VR glasses technology. It is a product that has a large collection. I don't think there will be much change in the form of VR glasses in the next two to three years. "
"What I'm worried about is that once the development of VR glasses stops, the VR industry will definitely cool down quickly. At that time, the games that we have invested a lot of money into might not be able to recoup our costs because the market is not big enough."
"Therefore, my idea is not to put all our eggs in one basket."
"We can alternate the development of conventional games and VR games, or make two versions from the beginning."
"That way, even if the VR industry shrinks rapidly in the future, Slow Movement Workspace can continue to make traditional games and live well."
Pei Qian continued to remain silent.
It sounded … reasonable!
Lin Wan's plan was more solid and reliable.
According to her plan, Slow Movement Workspace would not only be able to enjoy the dividends of VR games, but it would also be able to use the experience and advantages of developing traditional games to avoid risks and steadily earn money.
Damn it, no matter how he chose, it seemed like he would earn money …
However, Lin Wan still provided a very useful piece of information. The VR industry did not have any technical reserves. It was very likely that it would stagnate or even shrink in the future.
This was completely consistent with Pei Qian's memories of the VR industry.
Due to technical reasons, the VR craze would only last for a short period of time. After that, it would cool down rapidly. The 'VR Game Era' that many people were looking forward to would end before it even began.
Thus, these two people's plans could not be used. He had to think of a plan that would incur huge losses.
Continue to invest heavily in developing VR games, and they can't develop VR games that seem to have a high success rate!
Just like what Cai Jiadong had said, developing a triple-A FPS game was out of the question. The success rate was too high.
Pei Qian concluded that Animal Island's success was mainly because the idea was not ridiculous enough.
Previously, when he decided to work on the Animal Island project, it was mainly because he was in a hurry during the meeting. After rejecting several directions such as realistic FPS and cinematic games, he inexplicably decided on the direction of cartoon-style, casual games.
Then, after putting it all together and many people's imaginations, Animal Island was born.
Looking back at Animal Island now, Pei Qian realized that it was still too reliable.
How could he have allowed Slow Movement Studio to develop such a reliable game?
It was no wonder that he had failed so miserably.
Thus, Pei Qian felt that the reason why the VR game did not fail was mainly because he had been lazy back then and had not thought of ridiculous ideas.
This time, he came up with a particularly ridiculous idea for a VR game, invested a huge amount of money, and coupled with the trend of the VR industry gradually cooling down, he would definitely lose money!
At that thought, Pei Qian cleared his throat and said, "Both of you are right."
"However …"
"Obviously, it still doesn't match my definition of 'slow movement'."
"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 said that they wanted to make mobile games. Boss Pei, you said that slow movement meant bold assumptions and careful verification. They had to have a long-term vision when setting their goals. Even though we have to take it step by step, we will still take detours if we only focus on our feet and do not have a long-term vision. "
"What's more, only by daring to break through can there be progress. None of the previous projects succeeded because of 'stability'."
"Could it be … Boss Pei, do you think that my current idea is still too stable?"
Pei Qian nodded. The class representative's summary was not bad. He was a good seedling.
Cai Jiadong was deep in thought.
"Indeed …"
"When Slow Movement Studio first started, VR games had not appeared yet. Making a game like Animal Island was already considered a relatively risky act."
"But now, Doubt!
Since the VR glasses have been successful, it wouldn't be risky to make a regular VR game step by step. "
Lin Wan pondered for a moment and said, "Then, Boss Pei, do you mean that we should continue to invest more in VR games? At the same time, we should create a very novel game that no one has made before?"
Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction. "That's right, that's what I mean!"
"Don't be afraid of failure. If you are afraid of failure, you will never be able to achieve true success."
In other words, if they were to rely on their previous investments and keep earning money, how would they be able to take it?
They would definitely have to take more risks and fail more. That would be the only way to squander all their wealth.
Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong nodded with a look of realization on their faces.
Indeed, Boss Pei's way of looking at problems was still so unique and to the point!
However, what new ideas did Boss Pei have this time?
Pei Qian coughed lightly and said, "My idea this time is to make a game with a realistic theme."
"The game will be set in Jingzhou. It will have a realistic style, detailed modeling, and live-action capture. The investment must be huge!"
"And the identity of the character in the game … is a rather annoying and boring profession in real life."
Putting the most annoying profession in the game and letting players bring this profession into the game should be able to disgust players and drive them away, right?
It was a realistic theme again. It was very boring just thinking about it.
As for what this profession was …
There were many kinds that Pei Qian had not thought about.
He looked at Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong. Obviously, he had to rely on their imagination at this time.
Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong looked at each other, not guessing what Boss Pei was going to say at first.
Cai Jiadong was silent for a while and then said tentatively, "Er … real estate agent?"
Pei Qian immediately slammed the table. "That's right, that's it!"
Being a real estate agent in real life was definitely a very annoying industry.
Of course, it was still the same. It was not that most real estate agents were bad, but the nature of this job and the nature of most real estate agents determined that this job was not easy to do.
Many people would not choose to do this if there were other ways.
It was very boring to turn this into a game. It would dissuade players from thinking about it.
The basic gameplay of the game was nothing more than bringing customers to see houses, sell houses, and click on the dialogue options on the screen. There was no depth to the gameplay at all.
It was quite a waste to use detailed modeling and real-time motion capture for such a boring game.
There would also be a lot of useless dialogue and text in the game. It would be another waste of money if they were all dubbed by real people.
Such an absurd game should not be able to earn money, right?
In fact, Pei Qian had not thought about what kind of professional simulator he wanted to make at the beginning. However, he suddenly felt that real estate agents were quite suitable after hearing Cai Jiadong's words.
That's it!
Pei Qian stood up and prepared to leave.
Before he left, he added, "Of course, this is just an immature idea of mine. If you think it's not suitable, you can do something else."
"Also, you have to be fully prepared before starting the project. It will start next month at the earliest."
In name, Tengda Corporation and Slow Movement Workspace were only investors. Pei Qian could not 'order' Slow Movement Workspace to develop a certain game.
However, Pei Qian believed that Lin Wan and the others would definitely do as he said.
…
After sending Boss Pei off, Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong went from one kind of confusion to another.
Boss Pei had pointed them in the right direction, but why did it sound a little unreliable?
Cai Jiadong said, "Boss Lin, according to Boss Pei …"
"A game with real estate agents as the main character can only be 'Real Estate Agent Simulator' …"
"However, what's there to simulate?"
"The work of a real estate agent is very boring. Every day, it's nothing more than bringing customers to see houses, posting online, looking for houses, and so on."
"Many people are not willing to do this job in reality, much less make it into a game?"
Lin Wan's expression was solemn as she fell into deep thought.
"Since Boss Pei said that it can be done, there must be enough gameplay 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 new real estate agent who rents a house. His job is to bring customers to see houses, introduce houses to customers, and earn money by commission. However, as the game progresses, he can also start his own company and build his own brand. "
"In the beginning, the protagonist will mainly look at houses. Different customers have different preferences. He will have to bear the consequences of telling the truth about the house's flaws or deceiving customers."
"Once the protagonist is promoted to branch manager, he will have a certain degree of autonomy. He can change the layout of the house and renovate some old houses to attract more customers and earn the difference in rent."
"After the protagonist builds his own brand, he can also customize furniture with furniture manufacturers and deeply renovate the house according to the style he likes. He can also save money to buy his own house, rest in it, and have some simple entertainment. "
"If that's the case, the gameplay is very rich. It can be a real estate agent simulator to judge the flaws of the house and communicate with customers to facilitate orders. It can also be a renovation simulator to plan the layout and decoration style of the house and give a score to the system."
"We can even work with Sloth Apartments and furniture manufacturers that meet the standards and work together in the game."
"From a VR perspective, players can clearly see the structure and layout of a house. That would be very helpful to many people who need to buy or rent houses in reality."
