Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1288: Programming Preparations for the Real Estate Agent Simulator

November 2nd, Friday…

Meng Chang arrived at Slow Movement Studio and was prepared to study the current situation of the game “Real Estate Model” to prepare for the publicity work.

In fact, Slow Movement Studio had always been an independent operating company. Tengda Corporation and Shenhua Corporation might have funded it, but they would not interfere with its operations.

Of course, Boss Pei would still give some ideas every now and then. However, this was not considered an intervention. After all, Lin Wan had the freedom to use or not.

If he did not want to use Boss Pei’s ideas, he could create his own.

Both parties had discussed the publicity budget previously.

Simply put, Boss Pei wanted Tengda to fork out the money for publicity. However, Lin Wan would not agree no matter what.

Now, Slow Movement Studio has already made money. Animal Island VR and Doubt VR glasses have been a huge success. It was even more impossible for Boss Pei to fork out money.

Not only that, Slow Movement Studio’s profits would also continuously give Tengda Corporation money.

Given the popularity of Doubt VR and “Animal Island”, as well as the series of chain reactions that followed, such as the additional profits of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe and Star Bird Fitness, most of the money that Tengda had invested in Slow Movement Studio had been recovered.

After making one or two more explosive games, it would be pure profit.

Of course, Boss Pei would also be very willing to lend a helping hand if Slow Movement Studio encountered some games that were particularly difficult and inconvenient.

Meng Chang was the one who came up with the publicity plan this time. On one hand, it was because Boss Pei trusted him very much. On the other hand, Lin Wan trusted him more now.

They might not trust each other on the same frequency, but they did trust each other.

Meng Chang was still a little uncertain about whether he could make it into this publicity.

On one hand, Meng Chang was naturally a little worried after hearing that the game’s name was “Real Estate Agent Simulator”. Boss Pei’s games might not be unsuccessful but the theme of the game itself still made Meng Chang feel a little suspense.

If there was no good product, no matter how hard Meng Chang tried to publicize it, it would become a source of nothing. This was a core point of view that Meng Chang had learned from the Pei family’s publicity method.

If this game was niche and did not attract enough attention, the publicity plan would be very difficult.

On the other hand, Meng Chang was afraid that the game would be too successful and attract too much attention. His commission would fly away.

Since they were going to use the Pei family’s publicity method for publicity, it might not necessarily be a success even if it became popular in the end. They had to first raise it and then raise it again. Only after this complete operation could they achieve a perfect publicity effect.

The standard of success for many things could not be purely based on the results. It had to be combined with the process.

It was very difficult for a poor person to earn a million yuan from being penniless, but it was as simple as eating and drinking for a tycoon with a hundred million yuan.

The results of these two things looked the same, but the process was different. The difficulty was also different.

If they were to compare, the rich had to at least increase their assets by several times. Only then would the difficulty be comparable.

Therefore, Meng Chang was a little apprehensive and nervous on one hand. On the other hand, he felt that this was a high difficulty challenge that could very well verify his understanding of the Pei family’s publicity method.

Meng Chang went straight to the chief designer, Cai Jiadong, after arriving at Slow Movement Studio.

He was here mainly to understand the details of the game. There was no need to trouble Lin Wan with such a small matter.

“Brother Meng, how have you been? I’ll have to trouble you with the publicity again.”

Cai Jiadong’s attitude towards Meng Chang was still relatively warm.

Previously, many old employees of Tengda were more or less biased against Meng Chang. However, after Meng Chang made so many outstanding publicity plans, this prejudice had long changed a lot.

What’s more, Cai Jiadong was not an old employee. He did not have such prejudice. The promotional video of the Doubt VR glasses was filmed by Meng Chang previously. The publicity effect was very good. This also made Cai Jiadong have a good impression of Meng Chang.

Meng Chang smiled. “The key is that your products are good. I’m just adding flowers to the brocade.”

They exchanged a few pleasantries and got straight to the point.

Cai Jiadong brought Meng Chang to a relatively empty experience area and handed him a VR glasses.

“The real estate agent simulator is now left with the final finishing job. However, the main game content has been released. It will not affect the game experience.”

“You can bring this VR glasses back later and experience it slowly.”

“You can ask me anytime if you have any questions.”

Meng Chang reached out and took it. “Alright, thank you.”

One day was definitely not enough. The game that Boss Pei designed had rich connotations. If one did not play it well enough, they would easily understand a little. It was far from the actual core.

If Meng Chang wanted to make a publicity plan, he had to understand it in depth. Otherwise, it would be very easy for there to be deviations.

His main purpose for coming today was to chat with the designer, Cai Jiadong, and solve the bigger doubts and problems.

Meng Chang put on his VR glasses.

…

Just like “Animal Island”, the real estate intermediary simulator was the official game of Slow Movement Studio. Naturally, it also left an entry in the initial login interface.

There was a unique login scene when the Doubt VR glasses were first released. There were three choices. It was undoubtedly the scene of “Animal Island”. In addition, there was also the command ship space scene of “Mission and Choice” and the scene of Repent and be Saved filled with spider lilies.

Of course, the development department did not idle during this period. They added two new scenes: one was the realistic setting of the real estate agent simulator, and the other was the cartoon gym scene of the Fitness Battle.

The styles were all different. Players could choose the scenes they liked on their own.

Any VR game developed by Slow Movement Studio had a special entrance in the initial scene of the Doubt VR glasses, perfectly integrated with the game scene.

For example, in the realistic setting of the theme of the real estate agent simulator, the entire scene was a suite, and one of the doors was the entrance to the game.

The entrance was different in other scenes. For example, Mission and Choice had been changed to a holographic projector.

After the release of “Animal Island”, many gaming companies began to create VR games and logged into the Doubt VR glasses.

However, these VR games did not have such a treatment. They were all thrown into the game market and allowed players to download them.

The quality of these VR games was definitely not as good as Slow Movement Studio’s games, but they could at least fill the game library and be very helpful for the sales of the VR glasses.

Meng Chang first looked around at the default login scene.

He had to admit that it was quite realistic.

He was standing in a spacious living room by default. The sun was shining brightly outside, and there were flowers and birds singing.

The sofa, television, and other furniture in the living room were all fully stocked. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelenglish.net . Fɪre

The huge television was an interface that could be interactive. Some basic settings functions of the VR glasses could be displayed on it.

In addition, this interface could also be customized, change the layout, style of the furniture, and so on.

Cai Jiadong explained, “The living room that you’re looking at now has an initial image. The various customized content has to be gradually unlocked in the game ‘Real Estate Agent Simulator’.”

“Players can unlock new sofas, new props, and so on in the game. They can move them into this login scene and create a login scene that belongs exclusively to them.”

“Of course, the login scene also has to take care of other players who don’t play this game so its initial decoration level is relatively high. It won’t make people feel that it is shabby.”

In other words, he had simply placed the house upgrading gameplay in the Real Estate Agent Simulator in the login interface.

However, it was not 100% copied. The initial houses of the ‘Real Estate Agent Simulator’ were very dilapidated. The furniture was old, the electrical appliances were old, the walls were unclean, the windows were leaking, and so on. Players had to level up step by step.

However, the houses in the starting scene were in a relatively high-end state from the beginning.

On one hand, it was to take care of gamers who did not play the game ‘Real Estate Agent Simulator’. On the other hand, it was also because the performance of the VR glasses itself was limited. It was impossible to take out so much space to run the login scene.

He pushed open a door and entered the game of the Real Estate Agent Simulator.

The specifications of this game were still relatively high. That was because all the characters were high-definition models and the graphics were very detailed. Thus, the performance of the VR glasses alone could not be carried out.

Similar to “Animal Island”, it used a computer to run the game and project a screen onto the VR glasses.

Meng Chang, who had played “Animal Island” before, did not feel the shock of the first time he played VR games.

However, the Real Estate Agent Simulator was a very realistic game after all. It was obviously different from the cute cartoon style of “Animal Island”.
