Chapter 1003: Legacy Issues

On the princess bed in the bedroom, the thick quilt was rolled up and pressed firmly under its owner.

The morning light entered the room, and the girl on the bed moved her eyelashes lightly, and she quickly woke up.

Loosening the quilt and turning over and lying down, Alicia looked at the ceiling, speechless for a while. There are still many fragments of the dream just now, and there are fragments of details that keep emerging, making her blush and heartbeat, but she is still a little unsatisfied.

In the end, she still conquered her sensuality, hunched over and hooked her hands to take off her wet and sticky bottoms and threw them aside, then rolled over and crawled to the head of the bed, picked up her mobile phone and called Emma Harriet in Norway.

The other party should have gotten up and her voice quickly came from the phone, "Hey! Ash, are you missing me so soon?"

"I do miss you," Alicia replied with a smile. After chatting with the other party for several minutes, she suddenly changed her conversation, as if she remembered something by chance, and asked casually, "Emma, have you had that dream lately?"

Unfortunately, her tricks didn't work. Emma quickly asked with a faint smile on the phone, "Which dream?"

"Hmm!" Alicia blushed slightly, but chose to tell the truth, "Rose's dream." Have you ever done it again during this time?"

"No, Jack hasn't appeared in my dreams for a few days, and I still miss him a little now!" the Norwegian girl replied cheerfully, and then asked, "So, Ash, why do you ask that? Did you dream of him?"

"Alas!" the blonde girl sat down on the bed, "what should I do? ”

"Hee-hee! This is a good thing that many people dream of, why bother?" On the other end of the phone, Emma suddenly lowered her voice, imitating a man's voice and said: "Alicia, I'm your dream girl, Jack Dawson, although we can't meet during the day, we can meet again in our dreams, experience a great voyage together, and do some wonderful things together!"

The blonde girl was amused by her botched performance, "Seriously, I really don't want to see him again." I need to get my life back to normal, is there anything you can do?"

"Of course!" Emma said over there, "Although the handsome guy is good, he will still get tired of watching it for a long time, not to mention that Jack can only see that he can't eat it, and after a long time, your body will have a strong reaction, and then you will have Rose's dream." So my opinion is that you can try my 419 therapy and let more men fill your life and you will soon forget about him. ”

The other party said it so explicitly, Alicia's face suddenly turned red, and she subconsciously shook her head and refused, "No, no, no, I don't want this!"

"It's okay," Emma was still on the phone, "look away, it's just a matter of taking what you need, and never see each other after dawn, how relaxed and pleasant?"

Knowing that the other party couldn't see it, Alicia still subconsciously shook her head, "I can't accept it, the feeling of lying on the same bed with a stranger is too strange." ”

"OK, you can try to change a boyfriend one day, and the effect is the same. With your looks and figure, there are definitely a lot of suitors around. ”

The more the other person said, the more outrageous it became, and Alicia had to interrupt, "OK! Thank you for talking to me so much, goodbye!"

"Wait!wait!" Emma's voice came from the earpiece.

"What else?"

"My 419 therapy, are you going to use it?"

"No, I'll see a psychiatrist later. That's all, goodbye!"

Hung up in shame and threw away the phone, the girl took a few deep breaths to calm her breath, then jumped out of bed and walked to the closet.

On the train home, she hid part of the truth from Holsten. In the Dream Research Institute, she experienced a total of three dreams, and the "Monkey King's Demon Cave Master" is just one of them, as well as the fantastic and mysterious "Soaring Clouds" and the "Rose's Dream" adapted from "Titanic".

"Demon Cave Master" allows people to experience the mysterious life of demons, "Resisting the Wind and Clouds" is Alicia's favorite flying theme, and "Rose's Dream" makes her become the heroine, board the doomed ship, and play romance with Xiao Lizi, who is still beautiful.

Then the problem lies in this dream, there are quite a lot of experiencers who are out of control, and there are additional emotional scenes in the dream, which makes the experiencer feel embarrassed after waking up.

Looking at the dream video afterwards, everyone didn't find this episode. Although the research institute said that this was an accident and needed further research, there were still some people who suspected that they had done it, and believed that they had created and put the plot on it. Before the institute came forward to refute the rumors, the facts proved their innocence, and in the following days, people continued to report that they dreamed of Jack and Rose and the luxury ship at night. Although there is no dream learning machine, although the details are blurred and distorted, the core hero and heroine and the passionate love scene are always there, and it is obviously still the "Rose's Dream".

For this situation, the institute was also somewhat unexpected. The other preset dreams are fine, but the "Titanic" is abnormal, which can only be blamed on the latter's super popularity. Although the box office results were surpassed by "Avatar", the influence of Ofune in the hearts of fans has not diminished at all. The familiar scenes and moving plots make the experiencer have a strong sense of substitution, and then add additional plots by themselves. Then, because the experiencer passively participates actively, the relevant memories become more profound, which in turn leads to "dream remnants", and the relevant episodes can be dreamed for several days in a row.

In fact, the reason why the Dream Research Institute chose this story as the dream material is because of its popularity and familiarity, but I didn't expect the effect to be too good, and the good ones are a bit excessive. Fortunately, as time passed, most people gradually forgot about this dream, and only a few people have not been able to get out of it, and Alicia is one of them.

This difference can only be attributed to the difference in the physique of each person. The Dream Research Institute was very curious about this, and Tang Li suggested more than once that Alicia stay for a few more days, and then return to Sweden when the "Rose's Dream" completely faded, and they could also collect more observation data by the way. However, the latter was in a hurry to return home and did not agree to this request, and then Tang Li suggested that she go to a professional psychoanalyst. Freud's disciples, most of whom were skilled in interpreting dreams, should have helped her.

Alicia slept on the plane, probably due to environmental disturbances, and she didn't dream of Rose and Jack. But when she returned home and lay on the princess's bed after a month of absence, the dream struck again, and there were new changes, her room and bed were completely moved to the Titanic, which was not strange in the dream, but it was ridiculous when she woke up.

After changing into long-sleeved home clothes and carefully making the bed, she pushed open the door and went to the bathroom to wash.

When he saw his sister, Holsten said listlessly, "Hi! Ellie." ”

Noticing the tiredness in the other party's voice, Alicia quickly switched to sister mode and reached out to pull her brother's sleeve, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Ahh ”

"Just a little late?" my sister asked repeatedly, "You didn't sleep at all last night, did you?"

The truth was revealed by her, and Holsten did not continue to hide it, honestly, and said excitedly: "The new console is really great, the effect of the no-optimization mode is very good, the new headset and controller are also great, the VR experience is very perfect, I like this gift very much." ”

Alicia rubbed her forehead depressedly, she couldn't do anything about such a game fan brother, not to mention that this PT2-VR set was a gift from herself. At that moment, I had to instruct: "I know, after breakfast, you can go to bed quickly! ”

Hearing this, the latter pouted nonchalantly, "It's okay, I'm not sleepy at all, the new VR system has given me a lot of inspiration, and I can't wait to try it." ”

"Holsten!" Alicia was annoyed, raised her eyes and glared at the other party, raised her voice and ordered: "I'm not discussing with you, go to bed after eating, otherwise I must make you look good!"

Seeing that she was serious, Holsten immediately softened, "Okay, okay, I'll go to sleep later." By the way, those pets of mine, please ask your sister to help me feed them. ”

"Know, I'll take care of them. ”

Holsten has been fond of animals since he was a child, and cats, dogs, hamsters, goldfish and so on are not less. At his insistence, the second game of the SnowRoom Studios was determined to be a creature theme, "Eco Ball VR", which gave him the perfect excuse to seek public and private interests. In the name of close-up observation of materials, he used public funds to buy materials to make more than a dozen self-made ecological bottles, and also bought flower pots, bird cages, aquariums, turtle tanks, ant boxes, hamster cages, saying that he wanted to observe other animals and plants, and turned the igloo studio into a snow room biology museum.

When Alicia walked into the room that was the studio, she saw a scene of birds chirping, ants busy, and small fish leisurely.

Walking to the shelf with the ecological bottle, Alicia first observed them one by one to confirm that the small fish and shrimp were still alive, and then took out the C4 mobile phone to log in to the experimental management system, carefully checked the parameters of each sensor, and confirmed that there was no abnormality. Due to Holsten's insistence, their "Eco Ball" game intends to follow the route of scientific realism, so it needs to fill the game with a lot of real data in order to dye it a professional coat of "scientific rigor".

If it is common animals and plants, the biological database that comes with the PtEngine Platinum Engine will meet the needs. However, Bee Games is an Asian company after all, and their database lacks content on some of the unique creatures of Northern Europe, so Holsten has to do it himself, building eco-bottles with built-in sensors to produce his own data.

After looking at these bottles and cans, Alicia turned to the hamster and the canary, and fed them one by one according to the type and amount of food prompted on her mobile phone. Then I came to my desk, entered the password to log in to the system, and checked the latest work progress.

Bee Games has prepared two sets of development environments for BP/PT games, one is based on the most popular Microsoft VisualStudio development environment, so that experienced developers can complete the development on PC, and the other is based on Bee PT platform, developers can directly develop, debug and verify on PT, which is simple, convenient and saves money, and is welcomed by a large number of new developers.

As a newcomer to the industry, the SnowRoom Studio uses the second development environment, which only needs to be equipped with a high-performance PT as a development machine, and then paired with a network monitor and keyboard and mouse equipment, which is enough for two siblings to use.

In the past month, Alicia flew first to the Americas and then to Asia, and Holsten was not idle, still advancing the development progress in an orderly manner. Looking at the alpha_V3 version of the game on the screen, and finding that the two major systems of "Ant-Man Mode" and "MR Mode" appeared in the game, Sister Larson couldn't help frowning. Anger was about to flare up, thinking of her brother who hadn't slept all night, and being forced down by her, picking up the VR headset and controller on the side, Alicia planned to see the effect.

Strictly speaking, Eco Sphere VR and its sister story, SnowRoom VR, should actually be considered MR-Game. However, the sales of such devices are limited, and the best-selling Bee Glasses 3 and the second-best Bee Holo1 have only sold 500,000 units combined, so the Larson siblings had to change the main platform and move the game to VR glasses.

Although it was a reluctant move, it also brought some surprises. Ant-Man Mode, the critically acclaimed SnowRoom, is based on the immersive nature of VR, which allows players to experience a freshness that has never been seen before.

Of course, it is said that it is to shrink the player, but the real operation is to enlarge the scene, which puts forward high requirements for the modeling map, the number of faces of the model is too low, and the enlargement will appear sharp and angular, and the texture map may also become blurry due to stretching, which affects the visual effect.

"Igloo" is a typical cartoon game, with low requirements for textures and faces, and cartoon strokes to help cover up, and using "Ant-Man Mode" does not create too strong a sense of disobedience. But the "ecological ball" is different, this game is a realistic painting style, the shape of animals and plants is ninety percent similar to the real photo, the requirements for the number of models and texture textures are very high, and they pit themselves after rashly enlarged.

Entering the game, Alicia started the "Ant-Man Mode" for the first time, and the world in front of her grew and expanded rapidly, until the shrimp became a giant beast in the water and the algae blades were larger than a human, and the expansion was terminated.

Swinging her arms from side to side to simulate swimming, she roamed in the eco-ball that suddenly became empty, her heart full of surprise.

The hard "giant shrimp" carapace, the fluttering "giant algae" leaves, the hard hard, the soft soft, the clear outline, the clear color, everything looks normal, not at all like the pasty effect that should be after magnifying hundreds of times.

"How did you do that?"

When no one answered, Alicia looked up, but found that the seat opposite was empty, and then remembered that her brother had been ordered to go back to bed, and that he should have fallen asleep by this time, so she had to keep her mouth shut and write down the question for later.
