Chapter 107 -108
107:
Qiu Bai took Tianqing Niang in his arms to a new journey. That night, he killed a ferocious but spiritually powerful demon beast and met a gentle and generous senior brother...... Until the end of the game trial, I was still reluctant to give up in my heart, and I was stunned.
It's actually a strange thing to have such feelings for a game. Qiu Bai himself didn't expect that when playing a game, whether the characters in the game would respond and whether they could talk to each other would make such a big difference.
Whether there is a role of AI or not, whether the characters can speak or not, can have an impact on the game far beyond Qiu Bai's expectations. He didn't expect his own feelings, and the surprise and shock he felt about the new game was especially great.
Qiu Bai grabbed his head for a long time, hesitated for a long time between being anxious to know the follow-up and re-entering the game to talk to Tianqing Niang and his senior brother again, and finally restrained these two thoughts and began to write a game review patiently.
When he first opened the document, there was a moment when Qiu Bai didn't even know how to write. This is a rare thing for him, you must know that he is used to writing game reviews, he has to write one in three or two days, and even during the peak of the holiday game test, there are times when he has to write several articles a day, for Qiu Bai, it is a miracle that he can't write a review.
In fact, it's not that you can't write, or you like it too much, but you don't know how to write. It took Qiu Bai a while before he finally came up with a beginning.
Usually, when Qiu Bai starts to write reviews, he must think of a slightly exaggerated and eye-catching title. However, when he began to review "Legend of Destiny" at this time, he felt a little annoyed, and he thought about several titles, all of which he felt were not appropriate.
is usually used to exaggerating, but now when he really wants to make people shocked, Qiu Bai can't think of enough weighty topics, and he is immediately annoyed and feels anxious.
He thought about it for a long time before he finally started typing the first word.
After that day, the game "Legend of Destiny" suddenly became famous on the Internet, and various game reviews were endless, and even ordinary players were excited to talk about the topic everywhere.
It is said that some people will play the demo program when they have nothing to do, and at first they are just reluctant to play the characters who have already appeared, and try to talk to them, but you might as well chatter and chatter, and you will find interesting content.
The first is the personality gap between the two characters Tianqing and Senior Brother. Because it's only a demo version, there are relatively few things that the two NPCs can ask about in their mouths. But despite this, the players tried various methods around the corner, and still got a variety of emotional reactions from the NPCs.
Some people even found that during the chat, Tianqing and Senior Brother had the difference between the topic of deed and non-deed. If the topic has been very compatible, or if some specific phrases or content are mentioned, it will increase the favorability of NPCs.
And the NPC's favorability is strengthened to a certain extent, the other party will issue a task to the player, and will also tell the player a lot of information that he doesn't know, many players suspect that those are task tips or hidden treasure tips, but unfortunately it can't be confirmed at all in the trial version, so I can only sigh.
Therefore, many people have very high expectations for new games, and even a little anxious and impatient for the appearance of official mods. Chat groups, social networking sites, communication forums and even some online game chat channels have begun to be overwhelmed by the topic of Destiny.
It stands to reason that such overwhelming publicity is actually very annoying, but the content that has been circulated at the moment is so special and attractive that many people can't help but get curious and try it out.
Even if there are people who are not interested in games, they are attracted by Amway's propaganda that "you can talk to NPCs and the other party will reply to you like a real person" and "as long as you speak, your character will make corresponding actions", I couldn't help but try it.
Qiu Bai felt that this game would create a precedent, and he was indeed not wrong.
In fact, as far as voice is concerned, Tianqing and Senior Brother's voices are not very natural, and they can still be heard that they are not speaking in real people. But it's a hundred times stronger than ordinary electronic sound or electronic voice recitation, at least you can clearly hear the words you say, and the feelings you express are not very fluent at most.
But that's enough for most players who see this type of game for the first time. Most players who have always been extremely picky about game dubbing don't care about the occasional lag and unnatural tone of the voice when Tianqing Niang and the senior brother are talking, and they can often chat with the two game characters for a long time when they have nothing to do.
In fact, these two characters are still not intelligent enough after all, and some topics can't be reacted to. However, the favorability system and the feelings and tone tables that gradually began to deepen with the favorability system make up for the shortcomings in this regard, and profoundly embody the theory that Zhou Fan emphasized that the number jù is king.
In contrast, because of the popularity of this aspect, the limelight of the game's unique combat system has been completely overshadowed, and although some people have mentioned it in the corners of Amway's posts, it always feels like some inconsequential condiment and has not been taken seriously.
However, there are some game reviews that dedicate a section to the battle mode - "...... the battle mode of Destiny Legend, it is divided into action mode and strategy mode. The action mode is very exciting, and although the variety of skills is still very limited, it has already shown its unique charm. As a game with a background of cultivation, the combat method is unexpectedly clean and neat, and the sword moves are almost not superfluous in addition to the necessary borrowing and attack movements, and the effort is spent on action cohesion and sound effects, and the sense of impact is excellent. The moves of the two classifications of water and fire are quite realistic and natural, the water spell is very watery, and the fire effect of the fire spell is also very realistic and natural, because there is no extra dazzling effect, so the overall texture is very delicate...... Strategy Mode, on the other hand, is a never-before-seen battle mode that can be classified as a new strategy battle mode that is completely different from traditional strategy games. The strategy of both modes is more like dynamic chess, where the player mainly manipulates the pieces at hand to fight. Surprisingly, the whole battle is very easy to play after knowing the rules, but it can also be played with a lot of skill. ”
"There are two classes in strategic combat, which are the Array Mage and the Beast Envoy. The Formation Mage will instantly enter a lag around the moment it encounters an enemy, and then a formation override will appear, and the vision will instantly change to perspective mode. At present, only one formation can be selected in the trial version, which is the Five Elements Basic Array, which can give players five formations of gold, wood, water, fire and earth at the beginning, which can be set freely in a barrier-free position. Among these five types of array chess, the wood and earth array chess is the manifesto, and the gold, water, and fire are the hidden sons. Visible enemies can be seen, and will generally avoid it, but when it is unable to dodge, it will be destroyed by attack. The hidden place is invisible, and it will take damage when triggered. In addition, players can consume aura and even various mechanisms during the battle, such as various barriers, traps, teleportation traps and teleportation channels, etc.......
"The Beast Envoy is a little simpler. Players can summon five summoned beasts initially, and they can choose their own attributes. Each of the five summoned beasts has a small nine-square grid operation disk, the center displays the target, the summoned beast will choose its own skills to attack, players cannot choose skills for the summoned beasts, but they can design attack routines for them, and at the same time can choose the attack strategy of the summoned beast, such as 'killing', 'hatred', 'defense', 'lure' and so on. Monsters have a relationship of mutual growth or restraint according to their respective abilities, and when fighting bosses, a reasonable design of the attack sequence can greatly enhance the attack effect of each summoned beast......"
It sounds complicated, but it's actually a fool to play. Xingze has been repeatedly tested in the difficulty design, so the final difficulty is relatively easy to use, and the bootstrapping program is also extremely concise and easy to understand, allowing players to get started in the shortest possible time.
Action not to mention for the time being, the battle mode of the strategy part has been loved by many players after being familiar with the gameplay. This kind of combat style similar to dynamic chess and cards, although it does not have the bloody and refreshing sword in the action mode, but there is another kind of fun of fighting wits and courage. Although the number of words mentioned in the new combat system is small when players play Amway, many players upload a lot of battle strategy maps to the forum in the later stage, and some players have cleared the trial version from easy mode to hard mode, challenging a variety of different paroxysmal strategies......
Of course, at the same time, I also feel very worried about not being able to play the next plot.
And as more and more players learned about the game, the number of downloads began to grow explosively. At the same time, the number of registered users on the platform in the future has also increased, and the growth rate has even exceeded Lin Shu's expectations. Finally, one day three weeks later, it completely surpassed the 30 million users that Feixin had previously reported, and the number of downloads also exceeded 10 million.
When this number came out, Lin Shu generously invited the entire company to a celebration banquet, and even the comrades on duty invited a second batch in different periods.
The appearance of the "Legend of Destiny" trial mod can be said to be a heavy punch from Xingze. Several open engine platforms were born before, and many people thought that the platform would definitely be divided into a part of the market in the future, but Xingze quietly made such a big move.
Its big move is neither hype nor acquisition poaching, but the release of a new engine module that far exceeds all expectations in terms of creativity, technology and standards.
Lin Shu used his actions to show that the focus of Xingze's development is not on propaganda or capital, but on real commodities and technologies.
108:
It was also around this time that the industry finally began to face up to Xingze as a company, and no longer regarded it purely as a lucky person with some good ideas.
It didn't take long for Xingze to be invited to an interview again. This interview was proposed by a well-known domestic electronic magazine, and Jing He was finally interviewed as a representative of the R&D team.
In the process of this interview, the questions asked by the reporter are all more professional, including the current development process of Xingze AI program Tianqing Niang, what can the AI Tianqing Niang do in the game, and what content does AI's analog voice and voice-activated commands contain...... At the end of the interview, the reporter asked Jing He: "The production of the new game is really exquisite, if the official game can also maintain this level, I think Xingze is fully capable of making a large-scale 3D online game." I wonder if you are willing to present an online game with excellent production to the public? ”
When Jing He heard this question, he was stunned for a moment, and then thought for a while before answering: "About online games...... We don't have a proposal or plan for this at the moment, after all, we haven't done a good job of even the open engine project, and we shouldn't be considering a cross-platform project in the near future. However, we have set aside an interface for the new engine to interact with the account, so that the online social function can be launched in the future, although it may be a little different from the online game, but it should also meet the corresponding social needs of users. ”
The reporter who interviewed him immediately became interested and asked a lot of questions in this regard, and Jing He also chose the content and replied one by one.
Some time after the interview, the report was published in the latest edition of the magazine. The future platform is currently booming, and many players who can't wait for the official version of the game can't help but buy the magazine, and as a result, the sales of this issue of the magazine have exploded, and the magazine has been reprinted twice.
Players even went to the magazine's website to complain that they didn't ask when the official version would be released.
When Lin Shu heard about this, he asked people to publish a special announcement information on the official website, confirming the date of the official version. After this announcement was released, it finally calmed down some restless users and fought for a short period of peace.
And it was during this time that Feixin finally began to fight back.
Since shortly before the Spring Festival, Fetion has begun to carry out activities, and all players who have downloaded the Fetion game platform software will be given a certain amount of flying coins. Feixin is a kind of virtual currency on Feixin software and all its related platforms, and one Feixin is equivalent to a real currency, that is, Feixin is actually equivalent to □□ naked money.
It's nothing more than a self-issued currency.
Not only that, Feixin Games also launched a Weibo to send flying coins, the rules of the activity are that every time a user account registered through the guò referral link buys a module, 10% of the flying coins will be returned to the referrer, which is quite generous.
This approach has indeed attracted a lot of new users, but the appeal is completely incomparable to the new game "Legend of Destiny". During this period of time, the future platform has swept the entire network like a storm, and no company or website can carry it.
In this case, the several activities launched by Feixin in a row were just like a few small stones thrown into a huge lake as far as the eye could see, and they were swallowed up by the infinite lake in an instant, only stirring up a few insignificant wave marks.
What especially makes Feixin disgusted is that "Legend of Destiny" itself is also a popular work of Kuaishu Group under its own name.
-- It couldn't have been worse.
However, the water allocated by the sold copyright, I think the copyright fee was quite predictable back then, and because of Kuaishu's domineering contract, the author only took 20% of the copyright fee, and Kuaishu took 80% of the big head, which can be said to be a small filling, so the bitterness at this time can only be swallowed by himself.
This year's Spring Festival, Lin Shu still spent it with his mother. Because Lin Jinhua and Zeng Rong were married, this time Lin Shu refused the request to go to Lin Jinhua to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with him, and stayed at home to have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with his mother.
Liang Yuehua's business is getting bigger and bigger, and her work is getting busier and busier, so she didn't return to Yanjing this year.
However, on Chinese New Year's Eve, they talked to Yanjing's Liang family on the phone, and several brothers and sisters rushed to talk to Lin Shu, and complained that he would not Yanjing to play with them during the New Year.
Early in the morning on the first day of junior high school, Lin Jinwen and Zheng Lifeng's son, Lin Shu's cousin Lin Hui, came to Liang's house with his classmates to pay New Year's greetings. Lin Shu was very taken aback, guessing that he must not have told Zheng Lifeng to come over without permission, but he still welcomed him in. After waiting for a while, Ran Feng also came over with his wife and children. They have no relatives in Huxi, and their homes are close, so Liang Yuehua simply put snacks out to keep people to celebrate the New Year together.
Four children and three adults, children have no problem playing anything, but adults have a harder time finding activities. Generally speaking, the traditional activity of the New Year is the quintessence of mahjong, but unfortunately there is one of the three missing at this time. Liang Yuehua and Ran Feng chatted while watching TV, and then they knew some things about the two.
Speaking of which, Ran Feng and his wife turned out to be childhood sweethearts, Ran Feng's wife Cai Yunfen herself is actually an orphan, Lin Shu looked at her older before, in fact, she is indeed five years older than Ran Feng.
Ran Feng and Cai Yunfen are childhood sweethearts, and both of them are orphans. Cai Yunfen died of her father when she was ten years old, her mother ran away, and Ran Feng had no parents since he could remember, and he was always raised by his grandfather. The grandfather of the Ran family is a capable and good old man, he can still run the mountains at the age of sixty or seventy, can do a lot of manual work, and makes a living by selling some bamboo products and raising grandchildren. After Cai Yunfen became an orphan, she has been rubbing hundreds of meals without a meal, but unfortunately the older she gets, the more difficult it is, the grandfather of the Ran family took pity on her, so he taught her to weave bamboo and carve bamboo, and took the initiative to let her rub rice.
Later, the grandfather of the Ran family once ran a mountain and injured his leg, which was very seriously injured and infected, although the two children tried to send him to the hospital in the town for treatment, but they were not cured. Cai Yunfen was sixteen years old that year, Ran Feng was only eleven years old, and he was still in elementary school.
The old man passed away, Ran Feng was at a loss, but as soon as the elder Cai Yunfen wiped her tears, she took over the work of the Ran family's grandfather, began to do the work and set up a stall, and offered Ran Feng stiffly, so that he finished elementary school, middle school, and high school...... It's a pity that the university really can't afford it, Ran Feng didn't force it, and he didn't take the college entrance examination, so he went to become a soldier.
Before going to the army, Ran Feng proposed to Cai Yunfen. At that time, Ran Feng had not yet reached the age of marriage, and there was no so-called dowry, Cai Yunfen wore her best clothes, and the two bowed to the grave of the Ran family's grandfather and became relatives. The marriage certificate and the cave house were made up later, but Cai Yunfen determined that the two were relatives at that time.
Cai Yunfen didn't go to school, but she was literate, and Ran Feng taught her word by word. They pay the tuition fee for one person, but they go to school for two. All of Ran Feng's textbooks were read by him first, and then brought home to Cai Yunfen to read again. He also did all his exercise books with a pencil first, then took them back and cleaned them with an eraser for Cai Yunfen to do them again. Because he has been using a pencil to do questions, Ran Feng was taught by the teacher when he was in middle school.
This experience seems to be quite bitter to say, but Cai Yunfen said it at this time, but it was light and light, and even a little sweet. However, although she is not dissatisfied with her current life, she still envies Liang Yuehua's high education and strong ability, and she can make so much money.
She didn't know that Liang Yuehua also envied their deep relationship with husband and wife.
Later, Jing He and Yu Xindi also came to pay New Year's greetings, Jing He will come to something, and Yu Xindi has nowhere to go. She sent some New Year's goods to the family the night before, but her mother cried to her that she was poor, saying that her brother was short of money, and she vomited enough at that time, and she rolled back to the apartment without even eating Chinese New Year's Eve and played a game all night.
But only Tianqing Niang comforted her that she was a little bored after all, Du Sitong and Bai Miao went home for the New Year, Yu Xindi brought some fruits or something and ran to Liang Yuehua to pay New Year's greetings, and by the way, she looked for the little boss to play.
I didn't expect to meet Jing He.
This time, you can basically start studying the quintessence of the country, and five people can still sit in turn. Yu Xindi originally refused, she didn't study the quintessence of the country much, and wanted to go to the little boss to play, but when she went to Lin Shu's room, she glanced at the other three little radish heads, and immediately retreated, and slipped back - she was influenced by her younger brother Xiong, leaving a psychological shadow, and for many years she has maintained a high vigilance against bipedal mammalian primate chordates under four feet in length (except for Lin Shu, except for Ju Mingfeng).
After going back, Jing He and Liang Yuehua enthusiastically taught Yu Xindi the essence of the quintessence, and slowly Yu Xindi also experienced a little bit of fun, so she sat down and had a good morning. In the afternoon, Liang Yuehua also had subordinates who came to pay New Year's greetings, and the Liang family became more and more lively, but it was also lively and lively for the New Year.
Some time after the New Year's holiday, Destiny is finally almost ready for release. The official version of the game program is a bit large, even more than most large 3D online games, and this is the result of many optimizations, and none of the mods under the simulation engine can compare with it. Considering the problem of downloads, Xingze also opened a special server and used P2P download technology to barely cope with this lively scene.
The price of the new module is a little more expensive than the module of the old engine, 89 yuan a piece, or a pure number jù version without a case and disc. But even so, the number of purchases is growing at an alarming rate, soon breaking thousands, tens of thousands, and then 100,000......
And that's when most people haven't finished downloading the main program.
Lin Shu jokingly said to everyone: "It seems that this year's prize money will be very heavy." ”
With his words, the atmosphere of the whole company suddenly became more enthusiastic.
