Chapter 1501 Tailor Simulator?

Cai Jiadong thought for a moment, "If that's the case..."

"Allowing players to design clothes freely means a huge workload. The various fabrics, materials, and styles of clothing in reality must be reflected in the game. Moreover, this thing can't be designed to be too complicated. It has to be as simple as the current ESRO editor, so that novices can get started easily, rather than becoming a complex tool that only professionals can use..."

"Just this point alone will consume a lot of energy. Even if it's made, there will definitely be no energy to make other gameplay."

"So... this game becomes a tailor simulator?"

"Moreover, its fun will be greatly reduced. It is very likely that there will be an embarrassing situation where everything is fine, but it's just not fun. And it is very likely to become a platform for some niche experts to indulge themselves. Ordinary players can't fully integrate into it, resulting in the inability to recover development costs..."

The more Pei Qian listened, the happier he became.

Isn't this exactly what I want?

This is the effect I want to achieve!

This Cai Jiadong is simply saying everything that's in my heart!

What Cai Jiadong said makes a lot of sense. From a purely technical level, with the current accumulation of the entire domestic game industry, it is not difficult to do.

The key is whether the resources, manpower, time, etc. invested are proportional to the final output.

If so many resources are invested, but in the end, it is impossible to obtain a large number of players due to insufficient fun, and falls into an embarrassing situation of being ignored, then it would be very awkward.

Pei Qian considered how to answer Cai Jiadong's question.

Before he could speak, Lin Wan spoke first.

"I think President Pei's idea is good, no problem!"

"This type of game is still a blank space in the game market, so there is a lot of room for development."

"It doesn't matter if the workload is large. These things are all about trade-offs. We abandon those rotten and conventional gameplays and concentrate all our energy on allowing players to design their own clothes. This can be regarded as completing differentiated competition."

"When we focus on conquering this point, we will naturally be completely different from other similar games. When the game becomes popular, it's not too late for us to slowly develop other derivative gameplays, such as dress-up and raising."

"If the game is not popular, it doesn't matter. We can do dress-up and raising again, and maybe we can make a comeback."

"This approach is indeed the most closely related to reality. What's wrong with a tailor simulator? To be more elegant, it should be called a fashion designer."

"We have enough user groups, and the wisdom of players is infinite. As long as the game we make can stimulate players' creative enthusiasm and give them a wide enough platform, a group of excellent works will inevitably emerge."

"Aren't *Safe and Civilized Driving* and *Real Estate Agent Simulator* following this path? Since driver simulators and agent simulators can succeed, why can't tailor simulators succeed?"

Pei Qian nodded frequently as he listened to the first part.

Well, very good, Lin Wan helped me think of the wording for the rebuttal, I don't have to rack my brains to think!

After cultivating everyone, the effect is indeed immediate. In the past, Pei Qian had to find a way to persuade those subordinates who raised questions, but now he doesn't have to, someone else is doing it for him!

But after hearing the last sentence, Pei Qian felt a little wrong again.

It would be fine if *Safe and Civilized Driving* and *Real Estate Agent Simulator* weren't mentioned, but as soon as these two games were mentioned, Pei Qian naturally thought of the painful lessons of their huge profits.

Bad luck!

This is a bit too unlucky.

If this tailor simulator is like these two games...

While Pei Qian was still struggling, he heard Cai Jiadong continue: "But... President Lin, I still think there are differences between these three games."

"The core gameplays of *Safe and Civilized Driving* and *Real Estate Agent Simulator* are driving and arranging rooms, respectively. These two core gameplays actually have successful precedents and are relatively mature gameplay modes that have been verified by the market."

"We only need to deeply explore the fun of this model, bring it to the extreme, and integrate it into the game, and we will basically be sure of success."

"But being a tailor and designing clothes... this can hardly be regarded as a mature or successful model. I think the risks involved still need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis."

Lin Wan nodded slightly and fell into deep thought again, "Well... there is some truth to that."

Chixin Studio's work mode is similar to Tengda's. Although the leader has the power to have the final say, in most cases, it is not a one-man show. Instead, it fully listens to the opinions of subordinates and makes a final decision only after a thorough discussion and confirmation.

The final decision may not be able to meet the requirements of everyone, or even satisfy most people in some cases, but the process cannot be omitted. It must be the result of full discussion and trade-offs.

The doubts raised by Cai Jiadong do have some truth, so Lin Wan has to consider it carefully again.

Everyone else was also thinking.

They felt that President Pei must have a clear idea, but the reason why he didn't interrupt must be because he wanted everyone to think independently and give their own answers, and not rely on President Pei to take care of everything.

But in fact, Pei Qian was also wavering at this time.

He felt that he seemed to be a little bit of a "Ma" (referencing Ma Huateng, CEO of Tencent, known for changing his mind easily).

How did I develop the same problem as Old Ma? After Cai Jiadong finished speaking, I felt that what Cai Jiadong said made sense. After Lin Wan finished speaking, I felt that what Lin Wan said made sense. Whose reasoning is ultimately correct depends on who speaks last...

This won't do, it's a very bad phenomenon!

Pei Qian felt that he still had to be firm in his thinking and not waver.

Considering the current situation, this game is indeed the optimal solution for Chixin Studio.

Think of an idea that loses even more money? Pei Qian really can't think of one.

What's more, Pei Qian still has the three Vajras, Tengda Games, Shangyang Games, and Feihuang Studio, that need to be arranged. Even if there are any good ideas for losing money, they must be given priority to these three.

For Chixin Studio... it's already good enough to do it to this extent.

Seeing that the discussion fell into a stalemate again, Pei Qian coughed lightly, "I think we can develop and see how it goes."

"In the game industry, controversy is actually a good thing, at least it shows that we are on a relatively correct path."

"If everyone thinks there is no problem, then that may be the biggest problem."

"In the process of development, accept the controversy, improve the controversy, and slowly explore the best form of this game."

"So, don't think so much, let's develop it first!"

"Some games can only see their complete form when they are really made."

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Controversy is a good thing?

No controversy may be the biggest problem?

What does this mean?

Everyone looked at each other, a little confused, but after all, there were still many smart people, and they quickly understood.

President Pei's words have a qualifier: in the game industry!

If all the designers think that a certain plan is no problem, it is actually a very dangerous signal.

There is no perfect plan in the world, and there must be trade-offs. The level of designers also varies, and some of them must have wrong opinions.

If the designers unanimously believe that a certain plan is no problem, it can only show that the plan is very mediocre, and all the places that look like shortcomings have been polished away, but its advantages are naturally gone.

Controversy is an inevitable process towards the optimal solution.

President Pei has always dared to be the first and is most afraid of taking risks.

Thinking of this, Lin Wan immediately made a decision, "Okay, let's do it!"

"As for the name of this game..."

Pei Qian stood up immediately, "You can think of the name yourselves!"

If I don't leave, the important task of naming will fall on my shoulders again.

Although I am a naming genius, I can't be squeezed so frequently!

At the beginning, Pei Qian named games in order to give himself a good start, but now he found that the names with a good start did not seem to achieve the effect he wanted.

Since this is the case, let's throw this task to them and let them name it however they want!

...

After leaving Chixin Studio, Pei Qian sat in the car back to the company and casually swiped his phone.

"Huh? Suffering Travel is open for registration again?"

"Damn, the situation is actually so popular again?"

"Something's wrong, right?"

Pei Qian felt deeply confused.

Last month, Suffering Travel was suspended for a month.

This was mainly because after the registration was opened before, there were too many accumulated registration numbers. The current capacity of Suffering Travel, which can only take a dozen people per session, was completely insufficient. Therefore, it was necessary to seize the time to expand, train, and increase the capacity of Suffering Travel.

Therefore, the business of Suffering Travel was suspended for a month, and Bao Xu and Sa Ziran were busy recruiting some wilderness survival experts, experts, retired special forces, nutritionists, doctors, and other types of personnel, organizing them for unified training, and then renting and transforming more indoor training bases to increase the number of Suffering Travel members as much as possible.

After being busy for a month, the carrying capacity of Suffering Travel should have been greatly improved, so most of the people who registered before have been taken care of, and a new round of registration can begin.

Pei Qian originally thought that the full registration last time had some special reasons.

For example, although Suffering Travel is very strange, there are a niche group of people who like it; Tengda has too many die-hard fans who participate without thinking; there may be some companies supporting it and collectively registering... similar situations.

Since it is a niche demand, there must be a day when it is exhausted, right?

When Suffering Travel increases its capacity and the number of people it takes each session increases, and the niche demand is almost exhausted, can't we happily start losing money?

But the reality slapped Pei Qian in the face: it's still so popular!

Where did all these people come from?
