Chapter 1289: Searching for the Right Entry Point
ng Chang’s first impression was that it was more realistic!
It was as if he had truly transmigrated to another real world.
Of course, there were still shortcomings. That was the resolution.
At the mont, the resolution of the VR glasses was still worrying. There was still a particle sense even though the Doubt VR glasses had reached 4K.
‘Animal Island’ used a special cartoon style to make up for the lack of resolution to a certain extent. However, ‘Real Estate Agent Simulator’ was a realistic drawing style. There was no other way about it.
Technological problems could not be solved in the short term.
Therefore, the VR field was actually very special. Those who liked it were especially passionate about it, while those who did not would think that it was a complete scam and useless.
Those who were 3D dizzy, could not accept the VR glasses grille effect and had high requirents for various operations and details were not the current audience of VR gas. They could not feel the joy of VR gas at all.
However, apart from these people, there were also so players who could tolerate these shortcomings. They enjoyed the imrsion caused by VR gas even more. This group of players was the main consur force in the VR ga market.
ng Chang did not play the final version of the ga, so the connection between so scenes was still a little stiff. Basically, it was still a black screen, a screen, and a transition.
Cai Jiadong explained, “We have specially made so scenes, but we have not updated them into this DEMO.”
“Actually, it’s nothing special. It’s just a satellite cara. After exiting the door, the cara will be raised to the sky above the city. After moving to the destination area, it will descend quickly. After adding a slight blur effect, it will arrive at the entrance of the destination.”
“On one hand, it would make the transfer more natural. On the other hand, it could also make players more familiar with the layout of the entire city and know which area their houses are in.”
ng Chang nodded. He could roughly imagine this feeling.
This was not a particularly critical segnt. It did not matter whether they experienced it or not.
ng Chang was already inside an interdiary shop.
The basic operation thod of the ga was obviously following the standard operating mode of “Animal Island”. There were different movent modes such as pushing the joystick and teleportation. The interaction logic of the props and items in the scene was also to use fingers to touch and grab.
ng Chang had also heard that Boss Pei had previously confird a complete set of operating standards for VR gas through “Animal Island”. “Real Estate Interdiary Simulator” had obviously followed this set of rules and saved him trouble.
ng Chang looked around. The space in this shop was not big, and the structure was quite simple. There was only an office area similar to the front desk, a coffee table, and two single sofas. There were also so simple furnishings.
“So the player is actually the boss of this small interdiary company?” ng Chang asked.
Cai Jiadong nodded. “That’s right. In fact, at the beginning, we also considered whether to let players start as an ordinary employee of an interdiary shop. They would open their own shop in the middle of the ga.”
“However, this plan was rejected after much discussion.”
“On one hand, being an ordinary employee in a shop might inevitably result in a large number of interactions with other colleagues. They are all unnecessary content. Investnt and output are not proportional. On the other hand, it might also cause players to be impatient.”
“We should skip this unnecessary content and let players experience the core fun of this gaplay directly.”
“That’s why he made the protagonist the boss of a small interdiary shop. Of course, the conditions are relatively simple. Gars have to save up a little to unlock the new decorations in the shop. They can also rent new and wider shops.”
“Player’s residence and shop are two independent systems. Players can focus on their own preferences.”
ng Chang understood now. In fact, the real estate interdiary simulator had obviously not completely simulated real estate interdiaries. Instead, it had done so artistic beautification and processing.
That was normal. After all, there had to be a choice in the gaplay. They had to give up on content that was not necessary.
It was just like many other simulation gas. They would only pick out the essence of the ga and simulate it. Those unimportant content would naturally be saved.
The main difference between the real estate agent simulator and reality was that the protagonist was a boss of a small interdiary company that had the final say. He could freely decide the direction and developnt strategy of the company.
There was a computer on the front desk and a high chair. It was just right to stand and look at the computer’s angle.
That was obviously to take care of gars who stood and played the ga.
The computer had a touchscreen. One could open the docunt and program on it by clicking directly.
The basic gaplay was to check the house source through the computer program, accept the commission, link the house and tenants together, go to the house to do field research and understand the situation. Once the tenants ca to the door to introduce the tenants, they would get a commission.
On the internet, one could only briefly see the house age, floor plan, and other information. At the sa ti, they could receive several commissions. They could conduct preliminary screening on the computer and then conduct field inspections.
There was no limit to the number of field inspections. However, gars’ goal was to complete high-end commissions as soon as possible and level up. Thus, there was not much point in worrying about these low-level houses. They still had to screen and verify them.
After conducting field inspections, he would arrange to et with tenants and answer their questions.
ng Chang experienced it for about an hour before taking off his VR glasses.
“To be honest, I don’t quite understand how this ga could be fun.”
ng Chang spoke more reservedly and did not directly say that the ga was more boring.
Cai Jiadong smiled. “It’s normal. Similar simulated managent gas are quite picky with players. So players might find it especially fun, while others would not feel the fun.”
“You’re not a simulated managent ga player. You might feel weaker in this aspect.”
“What’s more, simulated managent gas are relatively slow to beco popular. It’s relatively difficult to get started in the early stages, but once you feel the pleasure, you can play it for a long ti.”
“The pleasure of the ga differs from person to person. Most of the ti, you can’t force it.”
ng Chang was a little lancholic. “But how can we make a publicity plan if we can’t feel the fun…”
Cai Jiadong: “Oh, that’s right. Don’t worry, you can experience more and feel it even more. You might suddenly have inspiration.”
“If you really can’t, you can ask for so advice from more serious simulation managent ga enthusiasts and learn from them.”
As a designer, Cai Jiadong naturally knew as well. However, his perspective was a designer’s perspective after all. There was still so gap between it and the players’ perspective. ng Chang would still not understand if he said it.
Thus, it was best to find players to discuss it. It would be better to understand the fun from the perspective of players.
ng Chang nodded. “Alright, I understand.”
He did not know gars who liked simulated managent gas, but he knew Teacher Qiao.
If he really could not, he would ask Teacher Qiao. As a professional gar, Teacher Qiao would be able to understand most of the fun in the ga.
What’s more, he did not need to really feel this pleasure. He just needed to understand it.
…
In the afternoon, ng Chang returned to his desk and began to consider the publicity plan.
He did not look for Teacher Qiao imdiately because he wanted to use his own strength to think of a prototype. He could not be too affected by Teacher Qiao’s concept and cause the plan to deviate.
In other words, Teacher Qiao would either not use it or use it as the finishing touches. He could not let Teacher Qiao’s words affect ng Chang’s original plan.
“Before this, I only summarized the basic process of the Pei family’s publicity thod, ‘Yang-Dong’. However, I’m not very familiar with this process.”
“After careful analysis, the key lies in the middle step.”
“The last step is very easy because Tengda’s products are strong to begin with. As long as the products obtain the appropriate evaluation, the first step is relatively easy to achieve. It would be enough as long as we hold back and give a relatively good publicity start.”
“The key is the ‘suppression’ in the middle. How to not cause real trouble for consurs and not cause actual damage to the product under the premise of controversy is the key.”
“Therefore, we might as well start from this step.”
“What we can know is that when Boss Pei used the Pei family’s publicity thod, the step of ‘suppression’ was very restrained. It was all just right. There must have been a long ti to think and prepare for this.”
“How should I suppress it?”
“Continue using my bad na?”
“That’s not good. My bad reputation is no longer useful…”
ng Chang realized that his bad reputation was really better utilized when Boss Pei used it for the first ti. It was becoming increasingly useless.
The main reason was that many people’s impression of ng Chang had changed after the publicity plan succeeded several tis.
He still hated it, but this hate was no longer enough to have a fatal impact on the product itself.
Thus, his bad reputation was not completely useless. However, it was very sad that it was no longer effective.
“Why not make use of others’ bad reputation?”
“Does any company in the field of interdiaries have a bad reputation? Ho Corporation?”
“Not very good. Boss Pei doesn’t seem to like this company.”
At first, ng Chang thought that he could take advantage of the bad reputation of Ho Corporation. However, on further thought, it was not appropriate. Ho Corporation’s concept was fundantally conflicting with Boss Pei’s. Even if he wanted to “suppress” it, he did not have to dirty himself.
What’s more, the ultimate goal of the Pei Family’s publicity thod was to achieve the best publicity effect through such controversy and misunderstanding. It would be easy to not be able to whitewash it if he cooperated with the Ho Corporation. That would be a huge problem.
ng Chang gave up after a mont and thought of other ways.
“Actually, we don’t need to use the bad reputation of Ho Corporation. We just need to make use of everyone’s prejudice against the real estate industry.”
“Hmm… that’s a good entry point. However, I have to think carefully about how to combine it with the ga itself.”
ng Chang tried his best to put himself in Boss Pei’s shoes and thought about how he would design the publicity plan if it was Boss Pei. He tried the details of the ga and savored it carefully.
