"TravelingAroundorld, Heartbeat Spread, ToHeartsSoSeet, Sweetness Spreads the World......"

In the center of the gorgeous stage, where the spotlight is focused, a long-haired girl with big eyes is jumping and jumping to the bright rhythm of the drums. In the dimly lit audience on the other side of the stage, countless colorful highlights are constantly churning like the sea reflecting the starry sky, and the same melody and the same lyrics echo between the ups and downs.

These highlights are obviously lit light sticks, and judging from the number, the number of spectators is probably not less than 10,000. Moreover, these people are very enthusiastic about participating, and the CALL is quite professional, and each person's glow stick keeps changing colors and tracks with the rhythm and lyrics, which effectively renders the warm atmosphere of the scene.

However, if you look at the audience, you will find that the expressions on the faces of these professional fans are a little numb, and many of them have too happy hairstyles and looks, which feel like plastic dummies are not very real.

Of course, it won't be real, these people are actually 3D characters automatically generated by the computer, and naturally they can't have vivid expressions and natural demeanor like real people.

This is the game scene of the virtual somatosensory game "My Concert VR", Zhang Xuyao came to visit today and brought this game that has not yet been marketed for Tang Jiayi to try and taste, and then there was the above scene.

In fact, with the current technology, it is not an unattainable problem to make a virtual character that is fake and real, the problem is only how many resources can be invested. You must know that the automatic generation of puppets and even paper figures is just a matter of command, and creating a real and credible virtual star is much more time-consuming and laborious. And if everyone does it delicately and realistically, the burden on the computer will also rise, with the display performance of the Bee N3, the best way is to concentrate resources on a few main characters, and the secondary characters and even passers-by can only reduce the investment, and become stupid puppeteers or even flat textured paper people.

For this virtual concert, the female singer who sang and danced happily on stage was naturally the main character, which can also be seen from the expressive expression on her face and flexible body movements. And the other protagonist is, of course, Tang Jiayi's player character, although most of the time she sees "herself" face, but only looking at the light sticks on her hands that are clearly visible on the labels, and the soft and flowing clothes like the singers on stage, she knows that Xiao Yao and the others must have piled up a lot of resources on these two characters, the number of models must be a lot, the texture baking must be a long time, the physical effects must be very high, and the local video memory and GPU occupation are also leveraged.

Fortunately, these are all great value for money, and the two protagonists on and off the stage are fine and natural enough to allow her to better substitute into the game atmosphere.

"Take the highest picture with happiness in the background, I want you to appear, I love adventure. ”

At the end of the song, the audience began to shout and scream frantically, and Tang Jiayi also followed the people around her waving a game stick and shouting "Encore, Encore, Encore!". However, what appeared in front of her after the three calls was a score settlement page that suddenly appeared, which suddenly brought her back to reality.

Encore, a transliteration of the French word encore, refers to a repertoire in which a singer returns to the performance at the request of the audience after a performance, but it has now become a fixture in various performances and has become unworthy of its name.

Raising her hand to lift the blindfold, she first looked at the plastic rod she was looking at, and then she turned her head to look at Zhang Xuyao next to her, "This stick is good, the center of gravity is very stable, and the feel is very good, and the song stage or anything is fine, but this settlement screen doesn't feel very good, it appeared too suddenly, and it blew me back to reality all of a sudden." ”

"Hey, my sister, if you take the score settlement away, is it still a game?"

"Huh, it's a game, isn't it a virtual concert software?"

"The original version is indeed software, but we have already transformed it into a game, didn't I come to visit today to ask your old man to evaluate this game?" Zhang Xu Yao explained rather depressedly, and almost said, "Dear, what are your eyes?"

"Oh? I don't see any changes, it's just that there are more sticks, and there are some three-dimensional songs, and the number of characters is also richer, and is there anything else? And isn't this music library a little too old, "True Love Adventure" If I'm not mistaken, it should be an old song from more than ten years ago, right? I still remember secretly listening to songs with a repeater when I was in school, often looping back and forth between the front and back, and I saved a lot of waste batteries after a semester, and I was worried about where to throw them. ”

Zhang Xuyao grinned and interrupted this sister's nostalgic reverie with words, "I chose old songs because they are cheap." Sister, this is a public welfare project, and the cost still needs to be paid attention to. ”

It's just obvious that it is not easy to close the floodgates of memories once it is opened, but I only heard Tang Jiayi say thoughtfully: "Yes, she fell out with her family at the beginning, and was dragged by the record company until the end of the contract before she came out to work alone, and the record company naturally will not ask for a high price on copyright." It's a pity, her first four albums can be said to be classics, and it can be said that she is a half-step diva, but she met a pit daughter's mother and died. By the way, I bought all four albums, and I was afraid that the county video store would not sell the genuine version, so I went to Anshi to buy them, but after so many years, who still buys albums now, I have listened to them on the Internet on a monthly basis. ”

Teacher Zhang had no choice but to interrupt again and reiterate his purpose again, "Sister, tell me about it, what are the shortcomings?"

This game is a public welfare game jointly produced by Bee and a group of dream ambassadors, which is used to commemorate and summarize the first anniversary of everyone's official participation in public welfare undertakings.

In the past year, the Dream Realization Program has helped more than 30,000 teenagers realize their dreams, but there are still more dreams and urgent needs that cannot be met. Then the bees introduced them to other public welfare organizations, and those small public fundraisers who were suffering from lack of manpower and couldn't carry out big events and big news also gladly accepted and successfully took over, after all, doing it together just saved the cost of the preliminary investigation, and also shared the attention of the dream plan. It's just that the bees were able to successfully find the pick-up man, but it was difficult for them, the dream ambassadors, to let go, and finally they had the idea of making a game to commemorate it.

According to the plan, after the game is launched, all net profits will be donated to related charity projects, and everyone is doing this with their own dry food, as the project producer, she naturally does not want to be scolded as a dog after her hard work is in vain.

In particular, the position of the project producer is hard to get by myself, and if the final product fails and there are countless bad reviews, I am too sorry for the ones that I have eaten

"Looking for shortcomings?", Tang Jiayi immediately showed a strange expression on her face, and shook the plastic rod in her hand, "This thing is very responsive to use, and there is more than one sensor in it, right? ”

"Hmm!" Producer Zhang nodded yes, "Sister, you are as wise as a torch, the magic wand is the core of this game, it can locate its own spatial position and also recognize the position of the hand, so that different grips can correspond to different modes, you are now a glow stick, and then some microphones up, and some drumsticks down, how about fun?"

"Understood," Mr. Tang nodded, "I mean have you noticed the cost of materials?"

"I have to check this, it seems to be quite cheap," Zhang Xuyao said and took out her mobile phone and checked it, but soon the smile on her face disappeared and turned into a wry smile.

With the soaring sales of smartphones, the cost of various sensors, wireless modules and other components has become cheaper and cheaper, from 100 yuan to tens of yuan or even a few yuan. But even so, the OEM price quoted by Bee for the plastic rod in Tang Jiayi's hand is 53 yuan, and even if other manufacturers can be cheaper, it should not be much different.

The cost of dozens of dollars is indeed very cheap for developers, but as a game peripheral, the price is a bit high, unless it becomes a general-purpose controller or a popular IP authorization item to increase the value, otherwise this additional expenditure will become a deep ditch to prevent users from buying, seriously affecting sales.

Explaining the cost, Zhang Xuyao suddenly sighed, "That may be that I'm not suitable to be a game producer, right? ”

"Don't be so pessimistic, you're doing pretty well, even if you put it on sale now, it's no problem," Tang Jiayi said comfortingly, "This exclusive controller can be retained, but it's best to make it optional, and the default controller should be changed to a Pisces handle." As for your product, I recommend applying for PBB (approved by bees) certification first, anyway, the technology and components used by bees are used, and the OEM is also entrusted to bees, and this kind of descendant product is still very easy to pass. ”

With the gathering of more and more small and medium-sized enterprises around, Bee has set up a corporate business department to provide professional services for them, among which the content of the manufacturing consultant service is to act as an introduction and supervision platform for the foundry, which can recommend suitable foundries for the new small companies and send resident engineers to avoid them falling into the capacity trap like a hammer and delaying the product launch plan. Zhang Xuyao and they are all new rookies, and this kind of nanny service is naturally indispensable.

"Also, has your company been registered?Has the game version number been taken down?" the old driver, Master Tang, touched his upper lip to his lower lip and threw out two new questions.

"Ahhh

"Don't run, don't run!" Finding that the blow was too much, Tang Jiayi hurriedly spoke up and stopped Zhang Xuyao, who was going to go back to modify his escape.

Pulling her to sit on the sofa, Sister Tang said earnestly: "You, you, you are too impatient, if you don't change, you will suffer." By the way, it seems that the theme you told me was not the same as it is now, right? Why did you suddenly change it?"

Zhang Xuyao fell backwards on the sofa, "What else can there be, I can't do it because my eyes are high." Seeing others do all kinds of things is simple, and you will be blind when you actually start it. ”

At the beginning, as soon as their organization was established, she took advantage of her connections and asked for a development account for Bee Games from Atletico Madrid, wanting to get the project off to a good start, but this account that could use internal development tools turned everyone into a trap.

Bee has a wonderful software called "Plane Generator", its function is to convert the set of settings prepared by the author into a visual virtual world, saving the majority of authors and readers the time and brain power of imagining the world pattern, battlefield situation and the appearance of the protagonist out of thin air. The image of the world can improve the sense of substitution and readability to help fans, and as long as the plot and gameplay are added, this virtual world can be upgraded to a game world, so as to achieve the most popular game adaptation in the smoothest way. The reason why it is so convenient is because the software actually uses Bee's game development kit, which contains rich materials accumulated over the years and a powerful AI core.

Legend of the rivers and lakes,The development kit used by the generator is only a castrated version,The toolkit used by Bee Games itself is more powerful,So much so that their planning is super easy to go to work every day,Only need to circle various elements,The rest of the scenes、Characters、The plot can be automatically filled with software,It is claimed that as long as the intelligence is normal、There is no lack of knowledge, you can easily make games。

Zhang Xuyao and the others were pitted by this sentence, although the toolkit is as powerful as the legend, but their morale is also very high. Now this virtual concert game is actually their first game, and it was originally planned to be an exploration game similar to an outdoor reality show. When I bought the license to use "True Love Adventure", it was also because the lyrics of "TravelingAroundorld" matched the theme of the exploration game, but the game demo made was miserable, and there was no beauty of the scenery at all.

Considering the manpower problem, everyone had to abandon the project and work on a simpler music game. As long as you have a good engine, all that's left is to bulk populate songs, dance steps, characters, costumes, and scenes. Although it still needs to be manually modified, the amount of tasks is much smaller, such as the expressions and dresses of passers-by and spectators have been modified, and only these funny faces and strange clothes are left as jokes.

Seeing that the sister next door who didn't grow up looked like she was devastated, Tang Jiayi could only hold her hand to cheer her on: "Actually, it's okay, it's normal for novices to make mistakes, this time with experience, it will be much better to be proficient next time." Although this game is not a breakthrough, it is still very mature, and it should not be a problem to land in the bee store. ”

Zhang Xuyao sat up suddenly, "Let's make up our minds! If it's rejected, sister, you must help me blow the pillow wind!"
