Xiang Kun wanted to play the game, but it wasn't a whim decision made when he was in Copperstone Town a week ago.

He had thought about it even earlier.

At the beginning, his research and exploration of his own mutation were relatively conservative, and he didn't have any long-term plans, after all, he got too little information, basically took a step by step, and there was no need for large sums of money, and survival and self-preservation were the first considerations.

But when he encountered multiple mutated creatures, especially when he knew that "Shenxing Technology" was paying attention to mutated creatures and that there might be "vampires" behind them, he had a stronger sense of urgency and began to have more ideas, and these ideas needed a lot of money to support.

Regarding how to make money, Xiang Kun has a lot of plans.

With his current ability, in fact, no matter what he does, if he is given a certain amount of time, he can achieve a certain amount of success and earn a lot of money.

But he also has to consider factors such as the amount of time spent, the amount of energy occupied, whether he will reveal his peculiarities, and whether he can have a sustainable income.

All things considered, the best way to "monetize ability" is through Alice.

Of course, it wasn't just to get Alice out there – although doing so would certainly blow up the media and get a lot of money. But the excessive attention brought is what he tries his best to avoid, not to mention that he has always felt that Alice has far more and stronger room for development than it shows now, and there are still many possibilities that have not been explored. These "possibilities" may become his biggest hole cards in the face of crises in the future, or one of the keys to unlocking the cause of the mutation.

There are many other ways to monetize Alice.

After Xiang Kun's consideration, it was the most efficient way to let Alice integrate the existing functions and make a game at his request.

Since the birth of "Alice", under the guidance of Xiang Kun, she has developed many functions, which are all separated from Alice to a certain extent.

It is too slow and inefficient to promote and sell these "functions" and show them to the public or investors one by one.

What's more, those functions, stripped out of themselves, do not have a very obvious gap with the existing and existing related application functions, and there is no way to make people shine directly and crush other competitors.

Therefore, in Xiang Kun's view, this game should show two key points, one is its own playability, which can attract users, retain users, form a reputation and bring profits, and the other is to be able to show the functions he wants to show, so that the public and investors can notice and experience these stronger functions and know where they are strong.

In the end, Xiang Kun's idea was to make a game with sound as the carrier.

"Alice" has made a basic game framework, and according to Xiang Kun's requirements, he has "learned" dozens of classic martial arts on the Internet, integrating the plots in them, so as to mix and match them freely.

Originally, Xiang Kun planned to do it more completely, with more functions, and after being able to reflect the core gameplay more, he would find Tang Baona, Yang Zhener, Lao Xia, Zhang Qian, Chang Bin, Zicheng, and Yang Zhuo to come over to do internal testing, and then discuss the details of investment and follow-up detailed research and development and promotion.

But after hearing what Tang Baona said today, and knowing that she was going to change jobs, Xiang Kun changed his mind and directly proposed to let them try it out tonight.

He wanted to give Tang Baona one more choice.

After taking the mobile phones of the four people to operate Lao Xia's computer for a while, Xiang Kun returned the mobile phones to them and returned to the living room together.

"And then, how to play?" Yang Zhen'er couldn't wait to open the game and asked, the interface after entering is very simple, a few buttons look more like a music player, there are no text logos, no character images, people don't know how to start.

"Wait a minute, I'll tell you about the game first. ”

Xiang Kun took his mobile phone, stood in the middle of the living room, and said to Yang Zhen'er, Tang Baona, and Lao Xia on the sofa:

"The only medium of this game is sound, and it will arrange a story according to the style you choose, the setting of your own characters, and then use the voice engine to tell the story.

"You're going to be involved in the story. When it comes to your characters, you can decide the direction of the story through your own choices. You can have direct conversations with characters or other players in the story, and these conversations will also determine the development of the story. ”

The three people on the sofa were all wide-eyed, listening to his introduction with curiosity on their faces, and when they heard this, Tang Baona couldn't help but raise her hand and asked, "Is it the same as 'radio drama'?"

"Yes, that's pretty much what the form means, but you're all part of it. Xiang Kun said.

Yang Zhen'er asked, "What does it mean...... The game will give you a script, and then we'll 'act' according to the script?"

Xiang Kun said: "No, there is no fixed script. The background and premise of the story will be told to you, but the next development is up to you. ”

Yang Zhener immediately said: "I understand, just like that domestic game, "Invisible Guardian", at a stage, you can make several choices of behavior, and then different choices will trigger different plots." ”

"No, it's still different. Xiang Kun smiled: "The kind of interactive narrative game you are talking about is that a lot of routes and plots have been arranged, and then they will be carried out according to your different choices." Their follow-up road has already been repaired, and you just choose the intersection. But my game is different, it is for you to decide how to build the road behind, and before you make a specific choice, I, the maker, don't know how it will develop in the future. ”

Hearing this, Xia Libing frowned and said, "What do you mean, the game has progressed to a certain place, and it will rearrange the following plot according to our choice?"

That's what it means. Xiang Kun nodded and said: "Play a game first, you will know, for the time being, there is only one type of story called aerial martial arts, so you can only choose a character that fits this background." Uh, but I need to be reminded that the in-game voice is only Nana and my voice for the time being, so for the time being, you can only choose these two voices......"

According to Xiang Kun's request, Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er both took out their mobile phone headphones from their bags and put them on, and then one stayed in the living room and the other sat in the dining room to avoid interfering with each other.

However, Xiang Kun said that the three of them just used headphones, he didn't need to, he didn't participate in the first game, but assisted them from the side.

"You will experience a story that takes place in the world of martial arts, and the next step is to set up the character you are involved in the story. Within 10 seconds, say your character's name into a microphone or other voice recording device, form a word, and end with 'OK'. For example: 'Li Hong, luggage of luggage, red of red, OK'. ”

Listening to her own voice in the headphones, Tang Baona felt a little weird, and felt a little funny, the reading engine made with her voice that Xiang Kun gave her before, she would occasionally use it later, it was really fun.

She followed the operation method Xiang Kun said before, and selected another sound source on the simple interface of the game, this time it was Xiang Kun's voice: "Please say the name of the character, and end with 'OK'." ”

After thinking about it for more than ten seconds, Tang Baona said: "Tang Ying, Tang of the Tang Dynasty, Ying of the hero, sure." ”

Next, according to the voice prompts, Tang Baona set up multiple character conditions, when she finally set it up, and got the prompt "A total of three players participated, two of them have entered the information, and one is being entered, please wait for a while", unconsciously nearly half an hour has passed, but Tang Baona didn't feel too time-consuming at all, but was very interested and expectant, she was very curious, this voice game, what kind of experience it would be.

The tone of this prompt sound is too much like a real person, and it feels like Xiang Kun is really talking to her. Of course, because she has a lot of contact with Xiang Kun every day and is familiar with Xiang Kun's tone and rhythm, she can still notice some differences, but this smooth feeling is already quite realistic, which also makes her have more expectations for this game.

After another five minutes, the three "players" had finally finished typing, and a prompt sound came from the headphones: "The first stage of the script is being generated, please wait." ”

This time, the waiting time was much faster than she expected, and in less than thirty seconds, the prompt sounded: "Tang Ying Woman, your adventure will start in ten seconds, please get ready." ”

Ten seconds later, the sound of whirring wind sounded in the headphones, and then there was a noticeably slowed background sound that seemed to have a heavy tone and vicissitudes:

"You dragged your scarred body through the desert, your mouth was dry, your body was weak, you stumbled, your vision blurred, you could fall at any moment, and you were barely supported by willpower.

"Last night, you failed to assassinate Xia Libing, the leader of the Bloody Hand Gang, in an inn, and were injured by her and her men, and you barely escaped by relying on the hidden weapon Collapse Thunder. Although you let all the horses in the inn run away when you fled, they couldn't catch up for a while. But you know, the big devil Xia Libing will definitely not let you go, and he must be in the rear at this time, chasing after him. Before the next sandstorm comes, and before the traces are covered, the Bloody Hand Gang, who are very good at tracking, will be difficult to get rid of.

"Your horse is already exhausted, because you fled in a hurry, you didn't bring water, and the injuries on your body are getting worse, you can say that you are on the verge of despair......"

Tang Baona's eyes widened and she listened to the "story" told by the background voice, and when she heard "Xia Libing, the leader of the Bloody Hand Gang", she couldn't help but feel a little funny, but she didn't expect Lao Xia to be a "villain"?

However, she was a little curious, the tone and way in which this voice was telling the story seemed to be telling her alone? What Lao Xia and Yang Zhen'er heard shouldn't be these words? Could it be that this story is still being carried out from different perspectives at the same time?
