Pei Qian fell silent.
It sounded so reliable!
Since Slow Movement Studio had already become popular in the VR field, it was indeed a relatively safe decision to continue farming the VR field according to the operating standards established in “Animal Island”.
After the game was created, the chances of making money were very high with the reputation of Slow Movement Studio and Tengda Games.
Cai Jiadong was a little disappointed seeing Boss Pei fall into silence.
Indeed, his idea was too simple. It was far from the standard answer in Boss Pei’s heart.
Lin Wan continued, “Old Cai’s choice is indeed the most reasonable choice under normal thinking.”
“However, I think there is a certain risk to this choice.”
“I spoke to Old Song, the product manager of the VR glasses. He said that the Doubt VR glasses have already used all the current VR glasses technology. It’s a product that has been a huge success. However, in a pessimistic scenario, the shape of the VR glasses product might not change much in the next two or three years.”
“What I’m worried about is that once the development of VR glasses products stagnates, the VR industry will definitely cool down quickly. At that time, the games that we spent a huge sum of money on might not be able to recover their costs because the market is not big enough.”
“Therefore, my idea is not to put all the eggs in one basket.”
“We can alternately develop regular games and VR games, or we can make two versions at the beginning of the project.”
“This way, even if the VR industry shrinks in the future, Slow Movement Studio can continue to make traditional games and live very well.”
Pei Qian remained silent.
This also sounded… reasonable!
Lin Wan’s plan was more reliable.
According to her method, Slow Movement Studio would be able to eat the dividends of VR games. At the same time, they could use their previous experience and advantages in developing traditional games to avoid risks and earn money steadily.
What the f*ck, no matter how he chose, he seemed to be earning money…
However, Lin Wan still provided very useful information. The VR industry did not have much technical reserves. It was very likely that it would stagnate or even shrink in the future.
This was completely in line with the VR industry state in Pei Qian’s memory.
Due to technical reasons, the VR craze would only last for a very short period of time. After that, it would cool down rapidly. The “VR game era” that many people were looking forward to had ended before it even began.
Thus, he could not use either of their plans. He had to think of a way to incur losses.
Continue to spend a huge sum of money to develop VR games, and not develop VR games that look like they have a high chance of success!
He could not develop a 3A FPS game as Cai Jiadong had suggested. The chances of success were too high.
Pei Qian summarized the success of “Animal Island” mainly because this idea was not ridiculous enough.
Previously, he had decided to work on the “Animal Island” project mainly because he had spoken in a hurry during the meeting. After rejecting realistic FPS, movie games, and other genres, he had inexplicably decided on the cartoon style and leisure game.
Then, Animal Island was born after a lot of imagination.
Looking back at Animal Island, Pei Qian realized that it was obviously too reliable.
Why would he have allowed Slow Movement Studio to develop such a reliable game back then?
It was no wonder that they had failed so badly.
Therefore, Pei Qian felt that the reason why the VR game did not fail was mainly because he was lazy back then and his ideas were not ridiculous enough.
He would definitely be able to incur losses by raising a particularly ridiculous VR game idea this time and invest a huge sum of money. Coupled with the upcoming trend of the VR industry gradually turning cold!
At that thought, Pei Qian cleared his throat and said, “Both of you have the right ideas.”
“However…”
“Obviously, it still doesn’t fit my previous definition of ‘Slow Movement’.”
“Think about it. What did we discuss before you confirmed that you were going to create a VR game?”
Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong looked at each other.
Cai Jiadong said, “I remember at that time, everyone said that they wanted to make cell phone games. Boss Pei, you said that Slow Movement means making bold assumptions and carefully seeking confirmation. We have to have a long-term view when establishing a goal. You have to take one step at a time, but will still take the wrong path if we only care about what’s below our feet and don’t have foresight.”
“Another thing is that you can only improve if you dare to breakthrough. None of the previous projects have succeeded because of ‘stability’.”
“Could it be that… Boss Pei, do you think my thinking is still too stable?”
Pei Qian nodded. The subject representative had summarized it well. He was a good sapling.
Cai Jiadong fell into deep thought.
“Indeed…”
“VR games had not appeared yet when Slow Movement Studio just started. It was already quite risky to make games like ‘Animal Island’.”
“However, now that the Doubt VR glasses have succeeded, it’s not considered a risk to make a regular VR game.”
Lin Wan thought for a moment and said, “Then, Boss Pei, do you mean that we should continue to invest more in VR games? At the same time, we should create a very novel game that no one has ever done before?”
Pei Qian nodded in satisfaction. “That’s right, that’s the meaning!”
“Don’t be afraid of failure. If you are afraid of failure, you will never be able to achieve true success.”

In other words, he was implying that if they kept earning money, how could he take it?
They had to take more risks and fail more in order to spend all his money.
Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong nodded, looking enlightened.
Indeed, Boss Pei’s way of looking at problems was still so unique and hit the nail on the head!
However, what new ideas did Boss Pei have this time?
Pei Qian cleared his throat and said, “This time, my idea is to create a realistic game.”
“The game will be based on Jingzhou as the background. It will have realistic graphics, detailed modeling, and real-life motion capture. The investment must be huge!”
“As for the identity of the characters in the game… They should be in a profession that is more annoying and boring.”
Placing the most annoying profession in reality into the game and letting players enter it should be able to make players feel disgusted, right?
It was a realistic theme again. It was very boring just thinking about it.
As for what this profession was…
There were many things that Pei Qian had not thought about.
He looked at Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong. Obviously, he had to rely on their imagination now.
Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong looked at each other. They could not guess what profession Boss Pei was referring to immediately.
Cai Jiadong was silent for a moment before he probed, “Er… real estate agent?”
Pei Qian immediately slapped the table. “That’s right, that’s it!”
Real estate agents were definitely a rather annoying industry.
Of course, it was still the same. It was not that most people who were real estate agents were bad, but the nature of this job and the nature of most real estate companies determined that this job was not easy.
Many people would not choose to work in this industry if they had other choices.
If he made this into a game, he would feel that it was very boring and would dissuade players.
The game’s basic gameplay was nothing more than constantly bringing customers to look at houses and sell houses. It was just clicking on the dialog options on the screen. There was no depth to the gameplay.
It would be a waste to use detailed modeling and real-life motion capture for such a boring game.
There would also be a large number of useless dialogue and text in the game. All of them would be dubbed live. That would be another waste of money.
Such a ridiculous game should not be able to make money, right?
In fact, Pei Qian had not thought about what job simulator to make at first. However, after hearing Cai Jiadong’s words, he suddenly felt that the real estate agent was quite suitable.
That’s it!
Pei Qian stood up and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he added, “Of course, this is just an immature idea of mine. If you think it’s not suitable, you can do something else.”
“Also, we have to be well-prepared before the development of the project. It will start next month at the earliest.”
In name, Tengda Corporation and Slow Movement Studio were only in an investment relationship. Pei Qian could not “order” Slow Movement Studio to develop a certain game.
However, Pei Qian believed that Lin Wan and the others would definitely follow his instructions.
…
After sending Boss Pei off, Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong went from one state of confusion to another.
Boss Pei had given them directions, but why did it sound a little unreliable?
Cai Jiadong said, “Boss Lin, according to Boss Pei…”
“A game with a real estate agent as the protagonist can only be a ‘real estate agent simulator ‘…”
“But what’s there to simulate?”
“The work of real estate agents is very boring. They bring their clients for house viewing every day, post on the internet, find houses, and so on.”
“Many people are not even willing to do this job in reality, much less turn it into a game?”
Lin Wan looked solemn as she fell into deep thought.
“Since Boss Pei said that he could do it, there must be enough gameplay to support it.”
“Games must be based on reality but higher than reality.”
“We can actually design it this way: At first, the protagonist was a new real estate agent who rented a house. His job was to show customers the house, introduce the houses to customers, and earn money through commissions. However, as the game progressed, he could also open his own company and build his own brand.”
“In the beginning, the protagonist would focus on the apartments. Different customers would have different preferences. They would have to tell the shortcomings of the apartments truthfully or deceive the customers. They would have to bear the corresponding consequences.”
“Once the protagonist becomes the branch manager, he would have a certain amount of autonomy. He would be able to modify the layout of the houses and some old houses. That would attract more customers and earn the difference in rent.”
“After that, the protagonist builds his own brand, he can also customize his furniture with the furniture manufacturer and deeply renovate the house in the style that he likes. He can also save up money to buy his own house, rest in his own house, and have some simple entertainment.”
“The gameplay is still very rich based on this. It can be a real estate agent simulator, judge the shortcomings of the house, communicate with customers to facilitate orders, or it can be a renovation simulator, plan the layout and decoration style of the room, and be evaluated by the system.”
“We can even work with Sloth Apartments and other furniture manufacturers that meet the requirements. We can work together in the game.”
“Players can clearly see the structure and layout of a house from the VR perspective. This would be very helpful for many people in reality who also need to buy or rent houses.”
