The Real Estate Agent Simulator was officially released on the second day of Qiao Liang's bitter journey!
The designers, including Cai Jiadong, were busy at Slow Movement Studio.
The development and publicity of the game had been completed but everyone still felt that they did not have much confidence.
That was because strictly speaking, be it the timing of the release or the current public opinion environment, they were not very good.
Originally, Cai Jiadong had wanted to wait for the first of next month to release it. That day happened to be a Saturday, so he felt that the time was the most suitable.
However, under Meng Chang's strong request, it was still released today, which was November 27th, on Tuesday.
This time was very unpopular. It was the end of the month and a working day. The data was naturally short.
What's more, it was popular in terms of publicity and public opinion, but it was not a good popularity.
Even though Meng Chang had spent a lot of publicity resources, he was only messing around with that promotional video.
This video did not directly mention the Real Estate Agent Simulator. On the surface, it was just showing everyone how difficult it was for an ordinary real estate agent to work.
On the other hand, Home Corporation's publicity caused the public opinion environment to become chaotic.
Yes, it was chaotic and not deteriorating rapidly.
Because of the huge size of the Home Group, in fact, it had a guiding and controlling effect on public opinion. Although the promotional video shot by the Home Group and the series of publicity carried out therefrom were criticized, under the effect of this guidance and control, it did take away a lot of heat.
Now, the focus of everyone's discussion online, be it positive or negative comments, was most likely shifted to the Home Corporation.
As for the original promotional video?
On the contrary, it was gradually ignored because it was not extreme enough.
Some people even mistakenly thought that this promotional video was also filmed by the Home Corporation and even scolded it.
As for the Real Estate Agent Simulator that had been hidden behind the scenes, only a small number of core players who had been paying attention knew that it was going to be released today.
As for the passerby players, many of them knew nothing about it.
After all, most passerby players had their own jobs and received too much new game information daily. It was normal for them to not know about the Real Estate Agent Simulator under Slow Movement Studio's publicity plan.
However, no matter what, everyone still trusted Meng Chang.
Therefore, just as Meng Chang had hoped, "Real Estate Agent Simulator" was quietly published on Doubt at the end of the month at a relatively unpopular time.
The game store and homepage recommendation of the VR glasses.
…
At night.
Not long after Ding Xiyao returned to her rented Sloth Apartment, there was a knock on the door.
Most of Tengda's employees were settled in Sloth Apartments. Of course, many of them had already bought their own houses.
As a new employee, Ding Xiyao was assigned to the Sloth Apartments as a staff dormitory.
Compared to the place she rented previously, the conditions of the Sloth Apartments were obviously much better, so Ding Xiyao moved in without hesitation.
"Hello, your express delivery." A young man from Upwind Logistics stood 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 was dragging two large boxes and several smaller ones behind him.
Ding Xiyao was a little confused. After confirming that these things were indeed for her, she let the courier in.
The courier first handed a small box to Ding Xiyao and then began to open the big boxes.
Inside the big box was a complete set of ROF's main system, as well as the display, mouse, and other peripherals. The delivery man had assembled them and placed them on the desk.
Ding Xiyao opened the small box in her hand and found a card and an unopened Doubt.
VR glasses.
The card was written by Meng Chang. The gist of it was to thank Ding Xiyao for her help during the filming of the promotional video. Real Estate Agent Simulator was officially released today, so he had given her a computer and VR equipment so that she could experience it if she was interested.
"Aiya, you're too polite. You've already paid me …"
Ding Xiyao felt a little embarrassed. She had given him too much!
She felt that she had not done much in the promotional video and did not have any acting skills to speak of. She had only followed Meng Chang's instructions and made a few expressions.
What's more, the promotional video had not had any effect so far. Ding Xiyao even blamed herself for not acting well.
After all, she was the only main lead in this promotional video. Could it be that the promotional video did not have the desired effect because everyone did not like her face?
The courier quickly completed his mission and left. Ding Xiyao adjusted the VR glasses and prepared to experience the game.
After all, it was related to her. What's more, the other party had sent a full set of equipment to her doorstep.
No matter what, she had to go and support the game.
The entrance to the game could be found on the main interface of the VR glasses. After all, it was Slow Movement Studio's son's game. There would definitely be such treatment.
After pushing open a door, the game officially began.
During the loading process of the game, an opening cinematic was played.
Strictly speaking, this was not a CG, but a real promotional video.
Ding Xiyao was a little surprised. "Huh? Isn't this the promotional video I filmed? "
This promotional video did not change much compared to the version released online. However, the title of "Real Estate Agent Simulator" and the logo of Slow Movement Studio appeared in the last scene.
The promotional video that was posted online previously did not have a game title or a studio logo.
Seeing her own performance, Ding Xiyao felt a little embarrassed, especially when she saw the scene where she secretly wiped her tears at home. She felt that her acting was not very good.
It couldn't be helped. After all, she wasn't a professional actress. Even if she acted according to the real situation, it would be difficult for her to express her emotions in a deep and layered manner. Naturally, it would be difficult for her to infect the audience.
Fortunately, the promotional video wasn't long, and they soon entered the game.
Ding Xiyao found herself in a small intermediary shop.
The shop was not big, and the structure was rather simple. There was only an office area similar to the front desk, a coffee table, and two single sofas in the consultation area, as well as some simple furnishings.
These scenes were obviously completely different from Ding Xiyao's previous work as a real estate agent.
However, it made sense after thinking about it. This was a game after all. They had to beautify the working environment.
If they were to create it according to a real intermediary shop, they might dissuade players from the beginning.
There were some basic operation guidelines in the game. Because this was a casual business game, the operation in the game was very simple. Ding Xiyao, who rarely played VR games, could also quickly get used to it.
Next, she would go to the computer on the front desk and open the documents and programs on the computer screen by clicking on them. She would check the listings, accept commissions, connect the house and the tenants, go to the house to investigate, understand the situation, and introduce the characteristics of the house to the tenants when the tenants came to visit. She would facilitate the transaction and finally draw a commission.
Perhaps it was worried that new players would not know what to do, so the game was very considerate in the form of a flowchart. It could also show the progress of the players in real time, and there was a special interface for them to check at any time.
For Ding Xiyao, who used to be a real estate agent, the entire process was too easy to understand. She could not be more familiar with it, and could play smoothly without the prompts.
Ding Xiyao used the controller to simulate her own hands, dragged the computer screen in the game, and quickly determined the type of house and the target customer.
Because it was the early stages of the game, Ding Xiyao had a very limited number of houses. There were only three, and these houses had some 'flaws'.
One was too small, one didn't face south, and lacked light, and the last one wasn't transparent enough.
After some consideration, Ding Xiyao chose the last one. At least this flaw was relatively acceptable.
She had to admit that the game was quite merciful. Players only had to choose one out of the three that they were most satisfied with, and the other two could be ignored.
According to the setting in the game, this house library was shared, which was equivalent to the other two houses being assigned to other agents.
In reality, Ding Xiyao often encountered old houses that couldn't be rented out for a long time. Under such circumstances, the store still had to find a way to rent them out.
Whether it was lowering the price or bluffing, at this point, it was all up to each of them. Some agents, under the pressure of sales, would inevitably start to think of ways to rent out the houses.
Confirming the house type was only the first step. Next, she had to choose the customers and conduct an on-site inspection.
There were many customers to choose from in the computer in the game. Some lived on their own, and some shared with friends or couples. Factors such as age, income, and other factors varied.
Different customers were picky about the houses and what they were interested in.
For example, some young people almost didn't know how to cook for themselves and always ordered takeout. In that case, having a small kitchen was not a flaw at all, since they wouldn't need it anyway. However, for some people who liked to cook and cook, having a small or broken kitchen was very difficult to accept.
After some consideration, Ding Xiyao chose three groups of customers.
This was also a hard and fast rule of the game's mechanism. She could choose a maximum of three groups of customers for each house. If she didn't get a deal with all of them, it would be considered a failure. If more than one group of customers got a deal, both sides would increase the price to increase the agent's commission.
This was also different from reality. Obviously, it was out of consideration for the game's gameplay.
Of course, this could also be because it was currently in the early stages of the game. Thus, the various systems and gameplay had been simplified to make it easier for newbies to quickly get used to it.
As the game progressed in the future, there might be some more difficult missions, and the corresponding restrictions should gradually be removed.
The three groups of customers that Ding Xiyao chose were a young couple who had just graduated and were looking for a job, a relatively high wage earner who had worked for a few years, and two girls who had been changing houses normally after working for more than a year.
Of course, in addition to that, the system also noted some of their requirements. For example, the young couple needed to cook, and the two girls needed to have a cat.
These three groups of people were relatively high-quality tenants that Ding Xiyao had subconsciously chosen. This way, the possibility of a deal would be higher.
Of course, these three groups of customers focused on different aspects of the house, and some improvisation was needed.
After choosing these requirements, it was time to set off for the on-site inspection.
Previously, she had only briefly looked at the house plan on the computer and noticed some problems with the house type. However, many of the details still needed to be determined by the on-site inspection.
After the on-site inspection, it was time to meet the customer, introduce the house, answer the customer's questions, and close the deal.
Ding Xiyao pushed open the door of the agent's store, and the camera quickly pulled up to the target's neighborhood.
