Chapter 547: Moving Forward in the Direction of Future Online Games
Chu Yuanxi knew that Xue Ming would definitely have a huge incomprehension, the more people who were engaged in technology, the more they did not understand the breakthroughs and innovations in the business model, and then stood at the height of technology and looked down on the technical elements embodied in the application scenarios. In a word, God is the eldest and my second, everyone looks at others low, which is also the reason why code farmers look down on other people's code, only the code they write is perfect, and everything written by others is low.
This kind of emotion is so common in technical experts that even Chu Yuanxi's repeated creation of brilliance cannot be reversed, but Liu Lu, an outsider, is easy to believe in his plan without reservation.
However, in this era, it is too difficult to achieve great success by relying on pure business model innovation, so it is necessary to be tolerant of technology experts, this mentality has been practiced as early as Chu Yuanxi in the original world, and after the crossing, at least there is no need to hold a banknote to beg grandpa to sue grandma.
Therefore, Xue Ming's extremely twisted expression after feeling the impact was ignored by Chu Yuanxi, and he said directly: "I plan to start preparations for the well-off project after the Spring Festival next year, and the specific technology needs to enter the application stage in April, and there is still half a year to go, and then it will probably be the APP group to do the research and development of the front and back end, and then the AI group will access the functional module." What I need you to do is, first, assess the workload, and second, claim some of those units. The rewards for all work tasks are written on paper, and you have the first-mover advantage and the right to choose. ”
"So you're going to recruit AI siege lions again?"
"Yes, theoretically, you can not claim a well-off task, right? We didn't have this mandatory requirement, and we crossed the company. Chu Yuanxi spread his hands, "Fortunately, the development momentum of the Ba people is good now, I think it is much easier to recruit people than in February, this is all your credit." ”
Xue Ming was beaten by Chu Yuanxi, and his heart was upset, and then he heard Chu Yuanxi continue: "If you don't plan to enter the well-off plan, there are also new tasks on the side of the Ba people, and it is even more difficult." ”
"How hard is it?"
"Remember when we discussed the trend of online games in the future?
Xue Ming's face turned embarrassed, "You don't want to do it now, do you?"
"No, but I'm going to make a new product and take a step closer to my goal. ”
Xue Ming knew what this progress meant, because he still remembered the content of that conversation. At that time, the consensus was that in order to realize the intelligent NPCs of future online games, the only way to go was the adjustability of the world line, or when the world line interacted with countless players, it was necessary not only to send tasks to the players, but also to let the players' behaviors be fed back to the world line, and the time nodes, world events, etc., all need to be variable.
Only when the world line is changeable, can the world not be immutable, and only then can it have the possibility of self-evolution. And it is this change that AI wants to escort, and Jaguar cannot change it blindly.
This difficulty is so high that it can't be described by numbers, and it's not as easy to achieve as hundreds or thousands of times the random plot of "Out of the Troubled Times".
"So...... Just tell me straight, how do you want to get this far?"
"My idea is actually simple, the new product plans to make an MMORPG game, and then the system will create some 'robot players' and play in the game according to the routines of normal players, so that these robot players will interact with normal players, right?"
"It's not hard to do. Xue Ming said with confidence. This is nothing more than the content that needs to be trained has increased, and the amount of training has increased, Chu Yuanxi has money, just burn his money.
"Then can you get these robot players to send tasks to ordinary players? My current thinking is that a world line, although it is simple and fast from the perspective of game design, but even if there is a main line and branch structure, this design pattern is naturally opposed to change, not easy to change, afraid of change, and does not have enough parameters to adapt to possible changes. ”
"Hey, I've thought about this too, and it's so perverted to want the worldline to accept player changes, and I don't have a clue at all. ”
"Well, add some AI bots, they are increments in parameters, each bot hangs a line related to his setting, this line is advanced by 'task', the bot sends it to the player, and the player pushes the bot's line after it is realized.
Following the flow of the worldline, they can send quests to the player, and they can also change the questline. And this change has no effect on other lines, including the world line, only the AI robot itself. If this step can be achieved, the next step is to allow these AI robots to have an impact on each other, but not on the worldline. ”
"What you're saying is like Goldbach's conjecture developing from N+N all the way to 1+2, right? How can the last step become 1+1 that can't be solved, but the previous problem can be solved first?" Xue Ming was suddenly excited, the kind of excitement that he suddenly got a clue before his hair fell out.
"You have to describe it that way, it's not impossible. "Chu Yuanxi stinks and is beautiful," This can be regarded as a semi-intelligent online game, which is worse than the virtual online game in the online game, but there will be a significant generation difference with the current game. ”
"Yes and yes can't be compared at all, and the current game is too low. It's not semi-intelligent, though. Xue Ming opened the conversation, "If you want to be semi-intelligent, you have to be able to realize 'everything can be edited' in the game." ”
"You're talking about editing art assets? changing scenes?"
"Art resources are still a small case, and they are not necessary in the game, but can only be regarded as an improvement in user experience. I'm talking about...... Let me give you an example. For example, I play a game in the Marvel Universe, and my protagonist gets a genetic mutation and becomes a mutant. Traditionally, you can only design a table in advance, and there are several types of mutants in it, each with a set of skills, right? But if everything is editable, then the system can generate a new type of mutant according to the objective situation and subjective choice of the player when mutating, and at the same time temporarily generate a set of skills according to the world view. These are not available in the database. ”
"Ah......h
Chu Yuanxi understood, Xue Ming was talking about the logic of everything editable, so that with the assistance of AI, the player's degree of freedom is not greatly increased, but turned upside down, and all transactions can be generated by AI in real time according to logic.
The so-called world view is a set of formulas pre-designed by game products, the formula is dead and immutable, but the parameters can temporarily capture the player's information, so that the AI can generate a new type according to the logic and algorithm according to the player's mutation.
