Cai Jiadong pondered for a moment. "If that's the case …
"Letting gamers design their own clothing would mean a lot of work. The various fabrics, materials, and styles of clothing in real life would have to be reflected in the game. What's more, the design cannot be too complicated. It has to be like the current ESRO editor. It has to be easier for newbies to learn and not become a complicated tool that only professionals can use …
"Just this point alone would require a lot of effort. Even if we manage to create it, we would definitely not have the energy to create other gameplay.
"So … this game would become a tailor simulator?
"What's more, it would be much less interesting. It might be good everywhere but not fun at all. What's more, it might become a platform for niche players to get high on themselves. Ordinary players would not be able to fully integrate into the game and would not be able to recoup the development costs …"
The more Pei Qian listened, the happier he was.
Wasn't that great?
That was the effect I wanted to achieve!
This Cai Jiadong had said everything that was on my mind!
Cai Jiadong's points were indeed very reasonable. From a technical point of view, this game would not be difficult to create based on the current accumulation of the domestic games industry.
The key was whether the resources, manpower, and time invested would be proportional to the final outcome.
After investing so many resources, it would be awkward if the game failed to attract a large number of players due to the lack of interest and fell into a predicament where no one was interested in the game.
Pei Qian thought about how he should answer Cai Jiadong's question.
Before he could speak, Lin Wan spoke first.
"I think Boss Pei's idea is good. No problem!
"This type of game is still a blank space in the game market at the moment. That's why there is a lot of room for development.
"It doesn't matter if it's a lot of work. There are trade-offs in these things. We have to give up on those common gameplay methods and focus all our energy on letting gamers design their own clothing. That would be considered to have achieved differentiated competition.
"Once we focus on this, we would naturally be able to pull away from other similar games. If the game becomes popular, we can slowly develop other derivative gameplay such as clothing changing and grooming. It wouldn't be too late.
"It doesn't matter if the game doesn't become popular. We can go for clothing changing and grooming. For all we know, we might be able to turn the tables.
"This method is indeed the one with the highest degree of connection to reality. So what if it's a tailor simulator? If it's more elegant, it should be called a fashion designer. "
"We have enough users, and the wisdom of the players is limitless. As long as the game we make can stimulate the passion of the players and give them a broad enough platform, there will definitely be a batch of outstanding works."
"Don't 'Safe and Civilized Driving' and 'Real Estate Agent Simulator' take this route? Since the Driver Simulator and the Intermediary Simulator were successful, why can't the Tailor Simulator be successful? "
Pei Qian nodded as he listened to the first part.
En, very good. Lin Wan had helped me think of a rebuttal. I didn't have to rack my brains to think!
Once everyone was trained, the effect was immediate. In the past, Pei Qian had to think of ways to convince his subordinates who raised questions. Now, there was no need for that. Someone else had done it for him!
However, when he heard the last sentence, Pei Qian felt that something was amiss.
It would have been fine if Pei Qian had not mentioned Safe and Civilized Driving and Real Estate Agent Simulator. The moment he mentioned these two games, Pei Qian naturally thought of the painful lessons they had learned.
Bad luck!
This was a little too inauspicious.
If this Tailor Simulator was the same as these two games, then …
Pei Qian was still conflicted when he heard Cai Jiadong continue, "However … Boss Lin, I still think there are differences between these three games."
"The core gameplay of 'Safe and Civilized Driving' and 'Real Estate Agent Simulator' is to drive and decorate the room respectively. These two core gameplay actually have successful precedents. They are more mature and market-proven gameplay models."
"We only need to dig deep into the fun of this model, do it to the extreme, and integrate it into the game. Basically, we are confident."
"However, being a tailor and designing clothes … this is not a mature and successful model. I think the risks involved have to be analyzed in detail. "
Lin Wan nodded slightly and fell into deep thought again. "Hmm … that makes sense."
Slow Movement Workspace's working model was similar to Tengda's. While the leader had the final say, most of the time, it was not a one-man rule. Instead, they would fully listen to the opinions of their subordinates and make a final decision after full discussion and confirmation.
The final decision might not be able to satisfy everyone's requirements. In fact, it might not even be able to satisfy most people in certain situations. However, the process could not be omitted. It must be the result of full discussion and choices.
Cai Jiadong's doubts did make sense, so Lin Wan had to consider it carefully.
The others were thinking as well.
They felt that Boss Pei definitely had a clear idea. However, the reason why he did not interrupt was definitely because he hoped that everyone could think independently and give their own answers. They could not rely on Boss Pei to take care of everything.
However, in reality, Pei Qian was also wavering.
He felt like he had become a little like a horse …
Why did he have the same problem as Old Ma? Cai Jiadong felt that Cai Jiadong's words made sense after he finished speaking. Lin Wan felt that Lin Wan's words made sense after she finished speaking. Whoever was the last to speak would depend on who was the last to speak …
That would not do. It was a very bad phenomenon!
Pei Qian felt that he had to firm his thoughts and not waver.
Based on the current situation, this game was indeed the best solution for Slow Movement Workspace.
Think of an idea that could incur more losses? Pei Qian really could not think of anything.
What's more, Pei Qian still had Tengda Games, Shang Yang Games, and Fei Huang Workspace to make arrangements. He had to give priority to these three even if he had any good ideas to incur losses.
As for Slow Movement Workspace … it was already good enough.
Pei Qian coughed lightly seeing that the discussion had reached an impasse again. "I think we can develop it while we watch."
"In the game industry, controversy is actually a good thing. At least it means that we are walking on a relatively correct path."
"If everyone thinks that there is no problem, that might be the biggest problem."
"During the development process, accept controversy, improve controversy, and slowly explore the best form of this game."
"Therefore, don't think too much. Develop it first!"
"Some games can only be seen in their complete form after they are created."
Everyone was stunned.
Controversy was a good thing?
Without controversy, it might be the biggest problem?
What did that mean?
Everyone looked at each other, a little confused. However, there were still many smart people after all. They quickly understood.
There was a limit to Boss Pei's words. In the game industry!
If all the designers thought that there was no problem with a certain plan, that would be a very dangerous signal.
There was no perfect plan in the world. There had to be some trade-offs. There were also high and low designers. Some of them must have the wrong views.
If the designers unanimously thought that there was no problem with a certain plan, it could only mean that the plan was very mediocre. All the parts that looked like flaws had been polished away, but its advantages would naturally be gone.
On the contrary, controversy was a necessary process towards the optimal solution.
Boss Pei had always dared to take the lead. What he was least afraid of was taking risks.
At that thought, Lin Wan immediately decided. "Alright, let's do it!"
"As for the name of this game …"
Pei Qian immediately stood up. "You guys can think of the name yourselves!"
If he did not leave, the heavy responsibility of naming would fall on his shoulders again.
He might be a genius at naming but he could not be squeezed so frequently!
In the beginning, Pei Qian had named it to think of a good omen for himself. However, now he realized that a good omen name did not seem to achieve the effect he wanted.
Since that was the case, he should throw this task to them. They could do whatever they wanted!
…
Pei Qian sat in the car back to the company and casually swiped his cell phone after leaving Slow Movement Workspace.
"Eh? Registration for the Suffering Tour is open again? "
"F * ck, the situation is so explosive again?"
"Something's not right, right?"
Pei Qian was deeply confused.
Last month, the Suffering Tour stopped for a month.
The main reason was that after the registration was opened, the backlog of applicants was too large. The current capacity of the Suffering Tour, which could only take a dozen people per session, was completely insufficient. Therefore, they had to hurry up and expand, train, and increase the capacity of the Suffering Tour.
Thus, the Suffering Tour business was suspended for a month. Bao Xu and Sa Ziran were busy recruiting some wilderness survival gurus, experts, retired special forces soldiers, nutritionists, doctors, and other personnel. They organized them for unified training. Then, they rented and modified more indoor training bases to increase the number of members of the Suffering Tour as much as possible.
After working hard for a month, the capacity of the Suffering Tour should have increased greatly. Thus, the people who had signed up previously had eaten a large portion and could start a new round of registration.
Pei Qian had originally thought that there were special reasons for the previous report to be full.
For example, while the Suffering Tour was very strange, there was a small group of people who liked it. There were too many die-hard fans of Tengda who participated brainlessly. There might be some companies who signed up en masse … similar situations.
Since it was a small group of people, there had to be a day when it was eaten up, right?
When the Suffering Tour increased its capacity, the number of people brought in each session would increase. Wouldn't he be able to happily start incurring losses when he had eaten up most of the needs of the small group?
However, reality had indeed slapped Pei Qian in the face. It was still f * cking popular!
Where did these people come from?
