Chapter 160: The Key to the Future of Online Games
"I'm ...... Doesn't that mean it?" Chu Yuanxi gasped for breath and almost flashed Xue Ming.
Seeing Xue Ming's disgusted face, Chu Yuanxi didn't plan to sell Guan Zi, there was no need to talk to insiders, just say it!" "My idea is, take it one step at a time, take a small step first." ”
Xue Ming looked at Chu Yuanxi's eyes, thinking that Chu Yuanxi should have really thought deeply about this, right? He has thought a lot about it in the past few days, and his thoughts have gradually taken shape, but there are also many obstacles.
In the current online game, NPCs are called NPCs because they are actually "objects", humanoid objects, or basically pure representations of the client. After the client writes the logic, the interaction with the player is a purely local performance, even if there are NPCs following the player's team to get a dungeon, it is also a pre-designed plot. When the player triggers the corresponding event, the NPC interacts according to the established logic, of course, there are no variables, and there are only a few things that can be done.
And the most hardcore thing in online games is not how big the map is, not brainwaves playing games with helmets or game warehouses, not millions of large servers and online at the same time, not how realistic the environment is, not to open the server lottery to get an artifact or get a bug number, not to mention being reborn to play online games.
What is that? NPCs are like living people, they have their own demands and ways of thinking, their own behavioral logic, and they can generate their own correct response to the behavior at that time, place, and behavior according to the behavior of others, and can form real interactions with others, not just execute preset programs.
Xue Mingxin said that Chu Yuanxi can be regarded as knowing a little bit about artificial intelligence, at least he can talk, why don't you listen to what he has to say?
I only heard Chu Yuanxi continue: "I hope that the AI you do in terms of game tasks does have the potential to continue to develop, but we don't need to think so far now and complete the work in front of us first." The set of intelligent NPCs in the online game must be a long way from being completed, so it will take ten years, right?"
Xue Mingxin said that what I wanted to hear was not this, so he also said it clearly: "Don't worry, I will definitely complete the existing work first, but this topic is indeed very attractive to me." This is the youth I want! I want to hear that you see 'potential' as differently than I do?"
"Or, let's learn from Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu on the code, and write it on their hands and show it out?" Chu Yuanxi took out his mobile phone, and Xue Ming did the same, and wrote a paragraph in the mobile phone memo.
Zhu Wei was about to enter the filming room to find Chu Yuanxi, but she saw the two chatting inside, she stood at the door and watched, and heard the two of them talking about future online games or something, and she was unaware for a while. At this time, seeing the two of them on their mobile phones, the inexplicable feeling of watching the epic appeared again.
She leaned forward, slumped down and lowered her head, only to see what Chu Yuanxi's mobile phone had written: The intelligent task system is transplanted, and the object is changed to NPC. Xue Ming's phone reads: NPCs complete tasks in an anthropomorphic way.
They also saw each other, and then looked at each other and smiled, Xue Ming thought more, but it was indeed a meaning.
Chu Yuanxi means that the work that is being promoted now can enable players to receive intelligent tasks when they receive tasks, and the triggered plot is also corresponding.
Then it is definitely possible to point this set of logic to NPCs, including the logic of task generation, triggering, completion, and prize collection, so that it can interact with the server. That is to say, according to the situation at a certain time outside, mainly the player's situation, it is judged that the conditions for generating the task are met at this time, and then the NPC is driven by this task.
In this way, intelligence is realized from 0 to 0.1, but the degree is almost meaningless, in fact, NPC is still subordinate to the entire task system, and it is not independent, and the room for interaction is very limited, so it is a small step.
Xue Ming's meaning is actually similar, but he pays more attention to performance, talking about the anthropomorphism of the way NPCs complete tasks, which refers to the process of interacting with others.
"Hmm. Xue Ming was very satisfied and said, "Then if you go further......"
"One step further, it is to give each NPC the permission to actively generate tasks, as well as the logic of sending tasks to each other, but this is very complicated, and it involves the main line of the chaotic quest, so let's talk about it later. ”
"Good. Xue Ming nodded, got up and left the studio, there were no earth-shattering special effects, no singing voice, and he left very plainly.
This idea Chu Yuanxi had when he was in the original world, and he planned to put it into practice, but the time was not ripe. What is the complexity of this problem? Xue Ming's job is to intelligently write any and corresponding plots, but his intelligent writing is based on the main line of the task, in other words, the tasks are varied, but they are all in the player's main quest process.
However, if NPCs can actively generate quests to the player, there will be no doubt that a large number of side quests will be generated, and because they are not preset, they may interfere with the main story. If it's a single-player game, it's fine, and you can strictly control the priority of branch generation, but the charm of online games is that you play with friends, so the complexity is geometrically increased.
However, this is an infinitely broad era, the progress of technology is rapid, and the immaturity of last year does not mean that this year and next year are immature, because technology is also iteratively developed step by step. Chu Yuanxi believed that after he built the company in this world, technology should be able to solve more problems, enough for him to take a few steps forward, so he never had the luxury of doing it in one step.
At the end of the day, it's not about ambition that changes the world, it's about actually doing it. The world has been changed little by little thanks to the hard work of countless people.
"Hey, Chu Yuanxi, ask something. Zhu Wei saw that Xue Ming had gone out, sat down, sat next to Chu Yuanxi and asked, "Just now a singer asked me to ask you something." ”
"Let's talk about it, let's stop inking. Singer, want to join our team?"
He asked if we could make a new album like "Leaving People's Sorrow" for him. ”
"No, you can't. Chu Yuanxi refused without hesitation.
"Why? Zhu Wei thought that Chu Yuanxi would be happy.
"What he means is, as long as we do it, no matter what it looks like, we will send it to him when it is done, no matter where he sends it, no matter what the effect is, we will give money?"
"Obviously, it was posted on our own account, do you need to say this?" Zhu Wei puffed up angrily, and said in his heart Chu Yuanxi, what's wrong?
Chu Yuan Xixin said that I knew that this was the case, so I didn't need to ask and refuse directly......
"Post it on our account, and then the other party will give the money directly?
"People didn't say it, probably think it's not bad, right?" Zhu Wei was completely confused, this question was not like Chu Yuanxi, who had the confidence of being a fan, asked it repeatedly, what is this for?
