November 2nd, Friday.
Meng Chang arrived at Slow Movement Workspace and prepared to investigate the current situation of the Real Estate Agent Simulator in preparation for the upcoming publicity work.
In fact, Slow Movement Workspace had always been an independent company. Tengda Corporation and Shenhua Corporation might have invested in it, but they would not interfere with its operations.
Of course, Boss Pei would still give her ideas every now and then. However, this was not considered interference. After all, Lin Wan had the freedom to use them or not.
If he did not want to use Boss Pei's ideas, he could create his own.
As for the publicity budget, the two sides had a dispute before.
Simply put, Boss Pei wanted Tengda to pay for the publicity, but Lin Wan would not agree no matter what.
Slow Movement Studio was already making money now. Animal Island VR and Doubt
The VR glasses were already a huge success. It was even more impossible for Boss Pei to fork out more money.
Not only that, Slow Movement Workspace's profits would also be continuously distributed to Tengda Corporation.
With Doubt
The popularity of VR and Animal Island, as well as a series of chain reactions, such as the additional profits of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and Starbird Fitness, had already recovered more than half of the money that Tengda had invested in Slow Movement Workspace.
After making one or two popular games, it would be pure profit.
Of course, Boss Pei would be very willing to lend a helping hand if they encountered games with huge investments and Slow Movement Workspace encountered difficulties in cash flow.
Meng Chang was still in charge of the publicity plan this time. On one hand, it was because Boss Pei trusted him a lot. On the other hand, it was because Lin Wan trusted him more now.
Although the trust between the two of them was not on the same channel, it was indeed trust.
Meng Chang was not sure if he could succeed in the publicity this time.
On the one hand, Meng Chang was naturally worried after hearing that the game's name was Real Estate Agent Simulator. Even though none of Boss Pei's games had failed, the theme of the game itself still made Meng Chang feel a little uncertain.
If they did not have a good product, no matter how hard they tried to promote it, it would become water without a source and a tree without roots. This was a core point that Meng Chang had learned from the Pei Corporation's publicity method.
If the game was a niche game and did not attract enough attention, it would be difficult to come up with a marketing plan.
On the other hand, Meng Chang was afraid that if the game was too successful and attracted too much attention, his commission would fly away.
Since they were going to use the Pei Corporation's publicity method to do publicity, it might not necessarily be a success even if they became popular in the end. They had to first raise it, then suppress it, and then raise it again. This set of complete operations had to achieve a perfect publicity effect before it could be considered a success.
For many things, the standard of success could not be judged by the results alone, but by the process as well.
It was difficult for a poor man to earn a million yuan from nothing, but for a millionaire with 100 million yuan in assets, earning a million yuan was as easy as eating and drinking.
The results of these two events seemed to be the same, but in reality, the process was different, and the difficulty was also different.
If they were to compare, the rich would at least have to multiply their assets by a few times. Only then would the difficulty be comparable.
Therefore, on the one hand, Meng Chang was a little uneasy and nervous. On the other hand, he felt that this was a difficult challenge that could verify his understanding of the Pei family's publicity method.
After arriving at Slow Movement Workspace, Meng Chang went straight to the chief designer, Cai Jiadong.
This time, he was here to understand the details of the game. There was no need to trouble Lin Wan with such a small matter.
"Brother Meng, how have you been? I'll have to trouble you with the publicity work this time. "
Cai Jiadong's attitude towards Meng Chang was rather warm.
Previously, many of Tengda's old employees had more or less prejudice against Meng Chang. However, after Meng Chang made so many outstanding publicity plans, this prejudice had long changed.
What's more, Cai Jiadong was not an old employee. He did not have such prejudice.
The promotional video for the VR glasses was filmed by Meng Chang. The publicity effect was very good. This also gave Cai Jiadong a good impression of Meng Chang.
Meng Chang smiled. "The key is that your products are good. I'm just adding flowers to the brocade."
The two of them exchanged a few pleasantries before getting straight to the point.
Cai Jiadong brought Meng Chang to a relatively empty experience area and handed him a pair of VR glasses.
"There's still some finishing touches left for Real Estate Agent Simulator. However, the main game content is already here. It won't affect the game experience."
"You can bring this VR glasses back later and slowly experience it."
"You can ask me any questions."
Meng Chang reached out to take it. "Alright, thank you."
One day was definitely not enough. The games designed by Boss Pei were rich in content. If one did not play it in-depth enough, it would be easy for one to only understand a little bit. It would be far from the actual core.
Meng Chang had to understand deeply if he wanted to make a publicity plan. Otherwise, it would be easy for there to be deviations.
His main purpose today was to chat with Cai Jiadong, the designer, and solve the bigger doubts and problems.
Meng Chang put on the VR glasses.
…
Just like Animal Island, Real Estate Agent Simulator was the official game of Slow Movement Workspace. Naturally, it left an entrance on the initial login interface.
When the VR glasses were first released, there were exclusive login scenes. They could choose one of the three. The default was the scene of Animal Island. In addition, there were also the command ship space scene of Mission and Choice and the Three Roads River scene of Repent and be Saved.
Of course, the development department had not been idle during this period of time. They had added two new scenes: one was the realistic scene of Real Estate Agent Simulator, and the other was the cartoon gym scene of Fitness Battle.
There were different styles. Players could choose the scene they liked.
All VR games developed by Slow Movement Workspace were in Doubt.
There was a special entrance left in the initial scene of the VR glasses. It was perfectly integrated with the game scene.
For example, in the simulated scene of Real Estate Agent Simulator, the entire scene was a suite. One of the doors was the entrance to the game.
In other scenes, the entrances were different. For example, the scene of Mission and Choice was replaced with a holographic projection device.
After Animal Island was released, many game companies began to produce VR games and logged into Doubt.
VR glasses.
However, these VR games did not have such treatment. They were all thrown into the game market for players to download.
The quality of these VR games was definitely not as good as Slow Movement Workspace's games, but they could more or less fill up the game library and help increase the sales of VR glasses.
Meng Chang first sized up the default login scene.
He had to admit that the sense of reality was quite strong.
The place he was standing by default was a spacious living room. The sun was shining brightly outside, and the birds were chirping and the flowers were fragrant.
The sofa, television, and other furniture and appliances were all available in the living room.
The huge television was an interactive interface. Some basic settings of the VR glasses could be displayed on it.
In addition, this interface could also be customized, changing the layout, the style of the furniture, and so on.
Cai Jiadong explained, "The living room you're seeing now has an initial image. All sorts of customized content need to be gradually unlocked in the game Real Estate Agent Simulator."
"Players can move new sofas, new props, and so on into this login scene and create a login scene that belongs to them."
"Of course, the login scene also has to take care of other players who do not play this game. Therefore, its initial decoration level is relatively high. It will not make people feel shabby."
In other words, he had brought the house upgrade gameplay in Real Estate Agent Simulator to the login interface.
However, it was not 100% a copy. The initial house in Real Estate Agent Simulator was very dilapidated. The furniture was dilapidated, the appliances were old, the walls were dirty, the windows were leaking, and so on. Players needed to upgrade step by step.
However, the house in the initial scene was in a more high-end state from the beginning.
On one hand, this was to take care of players who did not play Real Estate Agent Simulator. On the other hand, it was because the performance of the VR glasses was limited. They could not use that much capacity to run the login scene.
He pushed open a door and entered the 'Real Estate Agent Simulator' game.
The configuration requirements of this game were still relatively high because all the characters were modeled in high-definition and the graphics were very detailed. Therefore, it was impossible to rely on the performance of the VR glasses alone.
Just like Animal Island, it used a computer to run the game and project the screen onto the VR glasses.
He had played Animal Island before, so Meng Chang did not feel as shocked as he was when he first came into contact with VR games.
However, Real Estate Agent Simulator was a very realistic game after all. It was obviously different from the cute cartoon style of Animal Island.
