From Lin Wan's excited expression, it was obvious that she had finally found her career.
Lin Wan could be considered a complete idealist. Sometimes, she had expectations for this world that exceeded reality.
To her, games were something she loved. It would be even more perfect if games could change the world!
Therefore, the two games Real Estate Agent Simulator and Safe and Civilized Driving, as well as the reality service department established by Slow Movement Workspace and Shang Yang Games, combined the game and changing reality. This made Lin Wan feel that she had found a career that was suitable for her to work for the rest of her life.
In reality, the industries that affected ordinary people could be summarized as clothing, food, housing, and transportation.
Tengda was involved in the other three areas, but it did not have much in the area of 'clothing'. Naturally, Lin Wan set the new game's goal on 'clothing'.
Pei Qian could not help but look serious.
The situation did not sound optimistic!
That was because this field, coupled with the presentation of VR games, was quite dangerous.
What kind of games could be made in this field? Change the game, perhaps?
Change the game and VR … that sounded quite reliable!
It was mainly because of Doubt.
There were already several popular VR games with high sales. At the same time, there were places like Starbird Fitness and Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's VR experience area that were similar to VR internet cafes and experience stores. As a VR equipment, its popularity rate was already quite high.
When the time came, as long as the game was passable and they had Doubt in their hands …
Wouldn't all players with VR glasses have to buy one?
It would not be bad even if they bought it to fill up the game library.
That was because the VR platform was a rather special platform. If it was a platform like a PC or cell phone, there would be too many games. Gamers would not be able to buy all of them. Apart from those especially outstanding games, they would only buy the rest when they were discounted or free.
However, there were fewer games on the VR platform. Slow Movement Workspace had a good reputation in VR games. As long as the game was not too bad, the sales would definitely not be low.
The situation was grim, but … it did not matter. They would just have to deal with it as it came.
Pei Qian nodded slightly. "Have you thought about what to do?"
Cai Jiadong said, a little ashamed, "This … so far, we have only discussed a rough prototype."
"What we're thinking of is to make a VR game."
"As for the characters, I'll use a more cartoonish style and make some cute girls from 2D. Since the resolution of the VR glasses is relatively low, the realistic style will still have a certain graininess. Making a cartoonish version will not only better suit the taste of the players, but it will also improve the visual quality. "
"As for the basic gameplay of the game, it's to change your outfit and complete missions. As for the profit points of the game, you can consider the method of free main body and paying for the costumes."
"After that, we will use the AI technology of the Nag Artificial Intelligence Laboratory to make this girl like the girl in 'Fitness Battle'. She will be more lively and have a clearer personality. Then, we will add some unique personalities according to the interaction of players."
"For example, if the players want to raise her to be a domineering female boss, she will become more intellectual. If they raise her to be a domineering female CEO, she will become more independent. She can also wear a gentle and virtuous maid outfit, a tsundere cat outfit, and so on."
"In short, it's a combination of nurturing and equipping."
"Logically speaking, this should be considered a more mature gameplay. The effect should not be bad. However … some people object, mainly because doing this does not seem to make people's eyes light up. It seems too conservative compared to the game that you led the design of previously, Boss Pei. "
Pei Qian could not help but praise these people. "Well said!"
"That's indeed the case. This design plan is too conservative and not novel enough!"
That was what he said, but in fact, Pei Qian secretly wiped his sweat.
Good lord, wouldn't the otakus go crazy if they really designed it this way?
I don't need to say more about how attractive 2D ladies are, right?
Of course, they would not be paper dolls after they were put into VR games, but 3D paper dolls. However, so what? There were already some 3D paper dolls in the market now, and the response was very enthusiastic.
Back then, the Fitness Battle became popular because of the nurturable characters that gamers could not stop wanting to.
Pei Qian did not doubt that some LSP players would have to learn how to dress 24 hours a day after this game was created.
If the 2D characters learned how to act cute, dance, do exercises, and do yoga through the AI, then the LSPs would have to learn even more things. They would probably want to directly transmigrate into the 2D world.
Definitely not!
Pei Qian felt uneasy when he thought about how this method had such a high chance of making money. He had to think of a way to lead them astray!
He cleared his throat and said, "On one hand, the design plan is not very novel. On the other hand, this game does not have any connection with the real world!"
"Games like 'Real Estate Agent Simulator' and 'Safe and Civilized Driving' actually have excellent interaction effects with reality. This is the direction that Slow Movement Studio is pursuing."
"This game doesn't seem to have such a trend."
Cai Jiadong cleared his throat. "Ahem, Boss Pei, there's still a little. We can consider linking up with some clothing brands in reality and display their latest clothes in the game or distribute clothing with a joint name. "
Pei Qian immediately shook his head. "Of course not!"
Pei Qian could not remain calm when he heard that he would cooperate with clothing manufacturers in reality and create a joint name in the game.
Do you know how much money this would earn?
This game was already very profitable to begin with. If it doubled, he would probably vomit blood.
Pei Qian cleared his throat and said, "Wouldn't that be equivalent to advertising for those clothing companies in the game? This kind of connection with reality is too superficial. It won't work! "
Lin Wan nodded in agreement. "Yes, this kind of connection is the most superficial. It's actually equivalent to using games to advertise. There's no room for the real service department to play. It can't affect reality and improve people's living standards at all."
"Boss Pei, do you have any good ideas?"
Pei Qian chuckled. "I do have some ideas."
In fact, he did not have any ideas at first. However, he immediately had an idea after being inspired by the ideas of the designers in Slow Movement Studio.
After some consideration, he said, "I don't think we can cooperate with other clothing brands using a joint name."
"That's because many foreign clothing brands have a very high premium. If we create a joint name, the premium would be even higher. Wouldn't doing this be equivalent to tricking our players and fans to pay an IQ tax? It's definitely not suitable! "
"I think we can create our own clothing brand and find a reliable factory to work with the game."
Cai Jiadong was stunned. "Create our own clothing brand? That seems a little big. What's more, we don't have any ready-made brands to use. "
"At the very least, we have to give everyone an impression of a clothing brand to get started."
Pei Qian chuckled in his heart. It was for the sake of not getting started!
However, Cai Jiadong was right. There had to be a specific brand.
Even if Pei Qian did not specify it now, Slow Movement Studio would definitely spend a lot of money to find someone to design it. The brand that they designed might become popular?
Thus, Pei Qian thought about it and came up with a plan.
He thought of a ready-made brand that he could use.
Not only could this brand shut Cai Jiadong's mouth, but it could also cut off the possibility of Slow Movement Studio finding an outstanding designer to design a clothing brand that would become popular!
Pei Qian said, "Who said that we don't have ready-made clothing brands to use?"
"Isn't the luxury brand in the game 'Struggle' ready-made? Two capital L's as a logo. The design is very beautiful and very popular. "
Cai Jiadong's mouth opened slightly in shock.
That expression was saying, Boss Pei, are you joking?
Don't bully me. Do you think I've never played 'Struggle' before!
The luxury brand in 'Struggle' was indeed a relatively well-known brand. That was because the game 'Struggle' was quite popular. There were many players and cloud players. There were also a large number of second and third creation videos. What's more, there was only one luxury brand in the game.
It could be said that clothes, bags, belts, accessories, and so on that looked slightly better in the game were all luxury.
This brand was also closely related to the two storylines of the rich and the poor. How could it not be well-known?
However, the problem was that its positioning in the game was a standard IQ tax brand. It represented consumerism and money worship. It was a scythe for the rich to harvest the wealth of the poor. It was a target of satire in the game!
His popularity was high, but in reality, the impression he left on the players was a complete mess!
Would players think of the rich who jumped off a building when they saw this brand? Would they think of the poor who went home late at night and had a bitter conversation with their children?
This …
He felt that something was wrong, but he could not find a reason to refute it at that moment.
Pei Qian continued, "As for the style, it has to be realistic. Just use the model from Real Estate Agent Simulator. However, you have to make the face more detailed. You can even create a face and figure that is 90% similar to real life."
"It will definitely look a little rougher in the VR glasses than the cartoonish version, but it doesn't matter. It shouldn't be a big deal.
"For example, nurturing, changing clothes, I think these playstyles are more old-fashioned. The core playstyle definitely can't be this, there's nothing new. Even if we want to do it, we can do it after the game is released. We can't focus on this in the first version.
"What about the core gameplay … why don't we design clothes?
"Players are free to design clothes and try them on.
"How can watching cute girls cross-dress be as exciting as cross-dressing yourself?!"
Cai Jiadong nodded in realization. "Oh! Then, can we consider working with some famous designers and let them enter our game as official designers? They can design some outstanding works for our brand … "
Pei Qian quickly gestured for him to stop. "No, no, no, that definitely won't work!
"Then, what's the difference between us and other brands?
"We should open up this authority so that everyone can design as they please!"
"In order to prevent outstanding designers from interfering with ordinary people, we should also say 'no' to them and not give them any preferential treatment. We should throw them into the group of ordinary people and let their works compete with the works of ordinary people.
"If they can fight their way out of the encirclement, that would be considered capable. If they can't, it means that these so-called 'outstanding designers' are only superficial and do not have real skills!
