Chapter 1500: Tailors Simulator?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Cai Jiadong thought for a moment. “This way.
“Letting players design their own costumes means a lot of work. In reality, the various fabrics, materials, and styles of the clothes have to be reflected in the game. What’s more, this thing cannot be designed too complicated. It has to be like the current ESRO editor. It can be simpler for newbies to get
used to it, and not become a complicated tool that only professionals can use…”
“On this point alone, it would consume a lot of energy. Even if it is created, it would definitely not have the energy to create other gameplay.”
“Thus… this game became a tailoring simulator?”
“What’s more, its interest would be greatly reduced. There might be a situation where everything is good, but it would not be fun. What’s more, it might become a platform for small groups of big shots to cheer themselves up. Ordinary players would not be able to fully integrate into it, causing them to be
unable to recover the development cost…”
The more Pei Qian listened, the happier he became.
Isn’t that great?
That was the effect I wanted!
This Cai Jiadong has said everything in my heart!
What Cai Jiadong said made a lot of sense. This game was not difficult to make on the technical level.
The key was whether the investment in resources, manpower, time, and so on were proportional to the final output.
It would be very awkward if he invested so much resources but could not obtain a large number of players because of the lack of interest.
Pei Qian thought about how to answer Cai Jiadong’s question.
However, Lin Wan spoke before he could say anything.
“I think Boss Pei’s idea is good. No problem!”
“At the moment, this type of game is still a blank in the game market, so there is a lot of room for improvement.”
“It doesn’t matter if there is a lot of work. These things have their own choices. We have abandoned the conventional gameplay on the streets and focused all our energy on the point of letting players design their own clothes. It can be considered to have completed the compet.i.tion.”
“Once we focus on this point, we will naturally open up a gap with other similar games. At that time, if the game becomes popular, we will slowly develop other derivative gameplay, such as changing and nurturing. It won’t be too late.”
“It doesn’t matter if the game doesn’t become popular. We can change and nurture it. We might be able to turn the tables.”
“This approach is indeed the most realistic. So what if it’s a tailoring simulator? If it’s more elegant, it should be called a fas.h.i.+on designer.”
“We have enough users. The wisdom of players is endless. As long as our game can stimulate the creativity of players and give them a wide platform, a batch of outstanding works will definitely appear.”
“Didn’t ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ and ‘Real Estate Agent Simulator’ take this path? Since the driver simulator and intermediary simulator can succeed, why can’t the tailoring simulator succeed?”
Pei Qian nodded as he listened to the first paragraph.
Yes, very good. Lin Wan has thought of a way to refute me. I don’t need to rack my brains!
After nurturing everyone, the effect was immediate. In the past, Pei Qian had to think of ways to persuade his subordinates who raised the questions. Now, there was no need. Someone would do it on his behalf!
However, Pei Qian felt that something was amiss when he heard the last sentence.
It would have been alright if he had not mentioned ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ and ‘Real Estate Agent Simulator’. At the mention of these two games, Pei Qian naturally thought of the painful lessons they had earned.
Bad luck!
That was too ominous.
If this tailoring simulator was the same as these two games, then.
Pei Qian was still struggling when he heard Cai Jiadong continue. “However… Boss Lin, I still think that there is a difference between these three games.”
“The core gameplay of ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ and ‘Real Estate Agent Simulator’ is to drive and arrange a room. These two core gameplay actually have successful precedents. They are more mature and market-verified gameplay models.”
“We just have to dig deeper into the fun of this model, make it to the extreme, and integrate it into the game. It’s basically guaranteed.”
“However, as a tailor designing clothes… this is not a mature and successful model. I think the risks involved have to be a.n.a.lyzed in detail.”
Lin Wan nodded slightly and fell into deep thought once again. “Hmm… that makes sense.”
Slow Movement Studio’s working model was similar to Tengda’s. Even though leaders had the right to speak, it was not a model of speaking in most cases. Instead, they would listen to their subordinates’ opinions fully and discuss and confirm before finally making a decision.
The final decision might not be able to meet everyone’s requirements, and even most people would not be satisfied with certain situations. However, the process could not be saved. It must be the result of a full discussion and some choices.
Cai Jiadong’s questions made sense, so Lin Wan had to consider it carefully.
The others were also thinking.
They felt that Boss Pei definitely had a clear idea, but the reason why he did not interject was definitely because he wanted everyone to think independently and give their own answers. They could not rely on Boss Pei to take charge of everything.
However, Pei Qian was also swinging back and forth.
He felt like he had synchronized with Old Ma.
Why did he have the same problem as Old Ma? Cai Jiadong felt that what Cai Jiadong said made sense after he finished speaking. Lin Wan felt that Lin Wan made sense after he finished speaking. The last principle depended on who said it last.
That would not do. That was a very bad sign!
Pei Qian felt that he had to stick to his own beliefs and not be shaken.
According to the current situation, this game was indeed the best solution for Slow Movement Studio.
Think of an idea that would incur more losses? Pei Qian could not think of anything else.
What’s more, Pei Qian still had Tengda Games, Shang Yang Games, and Fei Huang Works.p.a.ce to arrange. Even if he had good ideas to incur losses, he had to give them priority.
As for Slow Movement Studio… It was enough to achieve this level.
Pei Qian cleared his throat seeing that the discussion had reached a deadlock once again. “I think we can look at the current situation while developing.”
“Debating in the game industry is actually a good thing. At the very least, it means that we are on a relatively correct path.”
“If everyone thinks that there’s no problem, that might be the biggest problem.”
“In the process of development, accept controversies, improve controversies, and slowly explore the best form of this game.”
“Therefore, don’t think too much, develop it first!”
“Some games can only see its complete form when they are really made.”
Everyone was stunned.
Debating was a good thing?
There was no controversy, but it might be the biggest problem?
What did that mean?
Everyone looked at each other, confused. However, there were still many smart people after all. They quickly understood.
Boss Pei’s words had a restriction in the game industry!
If all the designers felt that there was no problem with a certain plan, it would be a very dangerous signal.
There was no perfect plan in the world. There must be some choices. There were also high and low standards of designers. Some of them must have wrong views.
If the designers unanimously thought that there was no problem with a certain plan, it could only mean that this plan was very mediocre. It had polished off all the seemingly shortcomings, but its advantage would naturally be gone.
Debating was a necessary process to reach the best solution.
Boss Pei had always dared to go first. He was least afraid of taking risks.
At that thought, Lin Wan made up her mind. “Alright, let’s make it!”
“As for the name of this game…”
Pei Qian immediately stood up. “You can think of the name yourself!”
If he did not leave, the important task of naming the game would fall on his shoulders.
He might be a naming genius but he could not squeeze him so frequently!
At first, Pei Qian had named it so that he could think of a good color. However, now, he realized that the name of a good color color did not seem to achieve the effect he wanted.
Since that was the case, he decided to throw this task to them. They could do whatever they wanted!
After leaving Slow Movement Studio, Pei Qian sat in the car back and swiped his cell phone casually.
“Eh? Suffering Travels is open for registration again?”
“F*ck, the situation is so explosive again?”
“Something’s not right, right?”
Pei Qian was deeply confused.
Last month, Suffering Travels was stopped for a month.
The main reason was that there were too many people registering after the registration was opened previously. The current volume of Suffering Travels that could only bring more than ten people was no longer enough. Thus, he had to expand, train, and increase the capacity of Suffering Travels.
Therefore, the business of Suffering Travels was suspended for a month. Bao Xu and Ziran were busy hiring some professionals, experts, retired special forces, nutritionists, physicians, and other people to organize a unified training. Then, they would rent and modify more indoor training bases to
increase the number of members of Suffering Travels as much as possible.
After working hard for a month, the capacity of Suffering Travels should have greatly increased. Therefore, those people who signed up previously ate a large portion of it and could start a new round of registration.
Pei Qian had thought that there was a special reason why the registration was so full previously.
For example, even though Suffering Travels was very strange, a group of niche people liked this. Tengda had too many die-hard fans and partic.i.p.ated brainlessly. There might be some companies that supported and signed up collectively… similar situations.
Since it was the demand of the niche, there must be a day when they would clean it up, right?
Once the Suffering Travels increased its capacity, the people in every episode would increase. Once the needs of the niche were more or less eaten up, wouldn’t they be able to start losing money happily?
However, reality had given Pei Qian a huge slap in the face. It was still as popular as ever!
‘Where did these people come from?
