Chapter 1625 Hire Some Online Trolls!
In addition to this, you can switch between first-person and third-person perspectives at any time in this game.
Although first-person perspective usually brings a better sense of immersion for VR games, players in this game constantly need to check out their beautiful costumes, so a third-person perspective is still needed.
In the third-person perspective, the player is like an outsider who can observe the character they created from any angle.
Pei Qian used the controller to simply walk around his space twice, experiencing the functions of each module. However, the game has not officially launched yet, so some online functions are still different from the official version.
Afterwards, Pei Qian came to the workshop in the game and began to check the most critical costume design system of the game.
The imagined professional editor did not appear. Instead, Pei Qian saw a complex version of the character creation interface.
This interface does add the character creation function, but character creation and costume design are two independent systems that do not interfere with each other. You can choose to do the design first, and then adjust the character's face and makeup.
The first step in design is to determine the model's body data. All the models here are wearing underwear by default, dispelling players' bold ideas.
Players can choose from three editing modes: entry mode, regular mode, and professional mode.
This is mainly because players have different foundations, and their ability to use the editor will also vary.
Although the original intention of this software design is to allow ordinary people to participate in the design of clothing, it must be admitted that professional designers are professional designers after all, and their aesthetic level and design ability are higher than ordinary people in many cases.
It is indeed possible for ordinary people to have genius masters who surpass professionals, but such people are a minority after all.
For those professional fashion designers, whether it is hand-drawing ability or aesthetic level, or understanding of sizes and materials, they are far better than ordinary people, and they naturally have higher requirements for the degree of freedom and professionalism required by this editor.
Ordinary people don't understand these things at all. They can only give a vague conclusion of good-looking or not after seeing a piece of clothing. So they certainly can't use that professional editor. It's enough to make the editor to the extent of character creation.
Therefore, the functions of the entry mode, regular mode, and professional mode are different.
The entry mode can be understood as a highly free-form dressing and matching gameplay. After selecting a template, players can match and piece together the various parts of the template, such as adjusting the length, material, style, and color of the skirt.
After adjusting each part of the clothing in a specific way, you can also put together a relatively beautiful suit.
Because it is operated within a certain template, the operation is simple and easy to use, and the designed clothing will basically not be too ugly.
The regular mode is an upgrade based on the entry mode. It allows more precise tailoring of a piece of clothing in terms of size through a more professional editing mode.
For example, in the entry mode, players can only adjust the length, width, and color of a pair of pants, but in the regular mode, they can adjust the details of the pants, such as the position of the holes, accessories, and buttons.
Of course, the regular mode and the entry mode will limit some basic factors. For example, the waist and leg sizes of the pants cannot be smaller than the model's body size, and after adjusting certain elements, other related elements will automatically adjust and change.
For players without professional knowledge, being able to skillfully use the regular mode is completely enough.
Above this is the professional mode. In this mode, the system completely releases its restrictions and optimizations on players. Even if players make some designs that the system considers unreasonable, the system will not interfere or modify them. It will only give a prompt asking for modification if the clothes do not fit well on the model in the end.
In addition, players can customize any color scheme and completely design clothing styles independently, just like those professional software.
Pei Qian played for a while, and his emotions were a little complicated.
Because he found it difficult to define whether this game was fun or not!
Strictly speaking, this should be regarded as a large character creation system. The difference is that it is more complicated than the average character creation system, and even clothes can be created.
In addition to this, there are no other derivative gameplays. Players go online every day just to create clothes, buy clothes, and try on clothes. Then they can meet friends or strangers online and show off the new clothes they bought. That's all.
For Pei Qian, he is not very addicted to character creation when playing games, so naturally he is even less likely to deeply feel the fun of changing clothes.
So it's hard to feel the fun of this game.
It stands to reason that the investment in this game is not small, and everything from the game model to the surrounding scenes is very detailed. If the game is not particularly popular after its release, it is estimated that it will be difficult to recover the cost!
Moreover, the so-called popularity is not just enough to have a lot of people when the server is first opened. These people must stay and continue to pay.
Because the game itself is free, and players can log in to the game every day to receive game coins to buy some ready-made clothes. For players, the motivation to spend money is actually a bit insufficient.
If players only try on clothes and don't spend money to buy them, they will naturally quit the game after playing for a long time, and it will be difficult for Delayed Flight Studio to recover the development cost.
In short, Pei Qian felt that the quality of *Liang Ti Cai Yi* (Tailored) was indeed good, and the finished product was even better than he had imagined. But overall, everything was still within Pei Qian's calculations and did not escape his control.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian took off the VR glasses.
Cai Jiadong asked nervously, "How is it, President Pei? How do you feel?"
Pei Qian pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's very good. It's completely in line with what I expected."
Cai Jiadong said in surprise, "Then do you mean it's stable?"
Pei Qian nodded, "Well, I can only say that if it's the same as I expected before, then it should be relatively stable."
Cai Jiadong was overjoyed.
Because he knew very well that President Pei could be said to be speaking with divine authority. If President Pei said that a game was stable, then it would definitely make a lot of money!
However, he didn't know that the "stable" he said and the "stable" that Pei Qian said were not the same thing.
Cai Jiadong sent President Pei to the entrance of Delayed Flight Studio. Just as he was about to go back, he heard President Pei ask, "By the way, Old Cai, wait a minute."
Cai Jiadong hurriedly turned around, "President Pei, do you have any other instructions?"
Pei Qian thought for a while and asked, "If someone wants to smear our game, then the best entry point should be the lack of gameplay in this game, am I right?"
Cai Jiadong nodded, "Yes, President Pei, isn't this the problem we discussed before? Because this game put all the money into the game's graphics and clothing editing functions, we don't have more resources to make other interesting gameplays."
"President Pei, are you saying that this is the weakness of our game, so we have to find a way to improve it? For example, when planning the new version, we have to take this into account?"
Pei Qian immediately waved his hand, "No, what I mean is that it's good as it is, no need to change it!"
After getting the answer he wanted, Pei Qian strode away.
Leaving Cai Jiadong in place, scratching his head in confusion, wondering what President Pei meant by asking this question.
……
Sitting in the car on the way back, Pei Qian began to consider self-rescue strategies.
Although the finished product of this game is similar to what he expected, considering the reputation of Tengda Group and Delayed Flight Studio, as well as the improvement of VR glasses configurations and other factors, this game still has a certain possibility of success.
So Pei Qian had to find a way to minimize this possibility.
How to reduce it?
Pei Qian thought about hiring internet trolls to create public opinion.
Although this method is very low, it has to be said that it is indeed very useful, and it has a wide range of applicability and is always effective!
That's why Pei Qian specifically confirmed with Cai Jiadong that he thought the best entry point for internet trolls to smear this game was to smear its gameplay.
As long as he can put the label of "This game is good in every way, but it's just not fun" on *Liang Ti Cai Yi* (Tailored), then this matter will be half done.
Because this game requires a lot of investment, it needs a large number of players and active people to support it. Once players form the impression that "this game is not fun" in the early stages, it can minimize the number of players.
In short, this should be an excellent entry point!
So Pei Qian decided to pay out of his own pocket again to hire some internet trolls.
Although it was a bit painful, he was willing to go all out in order to lose money at the settlement.
Of course, Pei Qian didn't expect the internet trolls to cure all diseases. If this game really has the potential to become popular, then it will only be a matter of time before it becomes popular. Pei Qian hired internet trolls just to reduce the possibility of this popularity and delay the time.
He didn't ask for anything else, as long as this game doesn't become popular and generate a lot of revenue before the settlement.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian once again turned to his good friend, the leader of the internet trolls—Hu Xiao, and finalized the cooperation in a few words.
After all, these internet trolls are paid to do things. As long as the requirements are clear and the price is right, anything can be discussed.
The requirements Pei Qian gave this time were not complicated. He just wanted all the internet trolls to seize on the fact that the gameplay of *Liang Ti Cai Yi* (Tailored) was not good and beat it hard.
It would be best if this concept could form a stereotype in the minds of players, so that players would naturally have a feeling of "It's good in every way, but it's just not fun" when they see this game.
As for the specific operation methods, it depends on the free play of these internet trolls. Pei Qian thinks it's best not to stipulate it too rigidly.
As a person who issues orders, it's best not to be a micro-operation master at many times, as it's easy to limit the performance of front-line fighters.
Pei Qian thought that this was not a very difficult task. Although the IQ of these internet trolls was not high, there were also some high-end internet trolls among them. Under Hu Xiao's training, their basic qualities were not a problem, and they should be able to smear to the point.
After arranging everything, Pei Qian patiently waited for the game to be released.
