Chapter 81 -82

081:

In the future, the charging model of the platform is almost always charged according to the type of mod, content and amount of text, and it is generally sold that the mod or the plot itself, rather than props or others.

This kind of consumption is relatively fair, although there are occasionally good mods that charge a little higher, but in general it is based on the quality of the mod, not on scarcity.

This behavior of Feixin has actually triggered a heavy minefield of the open engine, but they have not yet realized it. The biggest feature of open platforms is that they never lack story plots or mod functions, because the meaning of openness is that new plots, mods, and characters will be constantly developed, and no plot or mod is irreplaceable.

Fetion hasn't figured out exactly what they're selling.

But there was no harm in this for Lin Shu - if the opponent wanted to die, he would definitely like to hear it.

And in this process, Xingze himself was not idle. Generally, during the winter vacation, all kinds of online games of all sizes are going to be active, although the original game platform is not an online game, but the audience group is not very different in nature, so there must be some heavyweight activities at this time.

The future platform launched this time is a heavyweight work that cooperated with the purchase of copyright - "Smoke and Rain and Dark Thousand Homes".

Compared with "Mystery Man", there is actually a big gap in popularity and influence. But a work like "Mystery Man" does not appear casually, even in the main station of Kuaishu, it also needs opportunities. Even the author himself has not always been able to write works of this level.

Although "Smoke and Rain and Dark Thousand Homes" may be slightly inferior in adapting games, it naturally has its own charm. Its characterization is equally vivid and charming. At the same time, as a work that attaches equal importance to farming and power schemes, the author's penmanship is quite lively and funny, and the whole story is vivid and atmospheric.

So it's also very suitable as an adaptation.

Compared with the rush for quick success and quick profit of Feixin Games, which is eager to make money, the future platform is obviously much calmer. This time, the new plot module restores the original work to the greatest extent, but opens up more plot branches, and after referring to the author's own opinion, it describes a lot of stories behind the novel that are not described.

After working together for a long time, Du Sitong and Desire Drink even designed a new plot line and follow-up story for "Smoke and Rain and a Thousand Families" that did not appear in the original book. This leads to the whole mod being quite exploratory.

Although there are also male players who complain that this time it is a work that is biased towards women, but the work that wants to drink does not actually focus on love, but always describes the farming, conspiracy, conquest and human history in the background of the story, so there is no one who really refuses to want to try the story of such a protagonist (originally as a heroine, the mod is open and the setting allows the choice of men and women) to grow and mature in the tide of history, run a family, survive and make achievements in the court, and finally fight to the north and south to reach the throne.

――Another point is different from the original work,Compared with the original work, it pays more attention to the possibility of history.,The heroine can't ascend to the throne.,Du Sitong and Desire Drink discussed.,Loosen this restriction in the game.。

"Smoke and Rain and Dark Thousand Homes" is simply a sincere work compared to "Mystery Man", which pits money. The gap between the ratings of these two games on major websites has gradually widened over time. "Smoke and Rain Dark Thousand Homes" has a high evaluation of 9.2 points on this site, while "Mystery Man" has been floating between six and eight points in Feixin's evaluation, and countless players have complained that the game is too cheap, there are many bugs, and the original work is not in place......

But regardless of the reviews, the two games that appeared during the winter break were extremely good in terms of sales and influence. Xingze's sales exploded again, and Feixin took advantage of the heat to make a lot of money.

However, no matter what the shape of the company is, Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng, as students, have already ushered in the winter vacation.

However, these two are children, and the winter vacation is even busier than that of ordinary adults.

With Ju Mingfeng's temperament, normally this child should have been irritable. But in reality, he is unusually hard-working, busy without a word of complaint, and has been working seriously and diligently.

Zheng Fangcheng wondered if he was sick.

However, he didn't know that Ju Mingfeng was going out so that he could stay with Lin Shu during the winter vacation. Thinking about it normally, even if children study in other cities, they should generally go back to their parents during the winter and summer vacations, right?

For Ju Mingfeng, going back to his parents means that he can't see Lin Shu for most of the winter vacation. And he doesn't have any common language with his parents - Cui Wenxin is better, but even if it is her, Ju Mingfeng and her don't have a lot of gossip to talk about, and if she accidentally reveals what she says when a child shouldn't say it, she may be knocked into a mentally retarded person by her mother.

This alone made him prefer to be busy for half a winter vacation and then go back to visit his mother every week a few times, and he should be filial piety.

On the contrary, even if he is busy in Huxi, he is busy with Lin Shu. Ju Mingfeng has been in a state of love all the year round, and he can eat three bowls of rice in front of Lin Shu - this relationship is called infatuation at best, and infatuation at worst.

The idiot said that he was busy with his daughter-in-law, and he was also cute.

With this in mind, Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng began the research and development of the new engine during the winter vacation.

Soon after the start of the winter vacation, the technical department hired a group of models to Xingze to help with modeling. The group of models were diverse, from specialized dancers to professional martial arts practitioners, to children and the elderly - in addition to a very special team of expert assistants hired by β–‘β–‘ - a number of surgeons and professional models at universities "corpse models".

That's actually quite a bold move. In order to invite this batch of models, Xingze also went through a lot of approval procedures. When I saw the bloody dissection scene, the group of weak chickens in the technical department were almost intimidated, and some people didn't even sleep well for several nights and came to work with dark circles on their faces.

On the contrary, it was Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng's expressions that greatly frightened many people.

The two children each held a high-definition camera and a high-definition camera, and they were all the time concentrating on the scene, never missing a single shot and a second of texture changes.

In fact, Lin Shu had already experienced this scene in his previous life.

At present, there are very few game companies in China that have done this kind of research and build 3D models from the human body structure. But as time passes, the accuracy of the 3D picture becomes higher and the movements become more and more refined, and such a step will eventually become a step that every company will go through.

Especially later, when plane games developed into virtual real games, people saw a portrait model that was the same size as themselves and close to reality. At such times, any gap and sense of disobedience with reality will be clearly revealed. And if the modeling does not involve the internal structure of the human body, but only stays on the shell, then the game will have a strong sense of disobedience.

Of course, that's not the case yet. Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng just took that step first, intending to let the current group of artists and technicians understand the texture and texture of the human body structure and texture in advance, and then start from the flat 3D picture, and gradually learn how to make the character model more realistic and vivid, and by the way, step by step to lay the foundation for the construction of the character model of the future virtual real game.

And while the two children were concentrating on filming such scenes, the two adults behind them were almost psychologically broken. Du Sitong tried to stop the two but failed, and Zheng Fangcheng felt that he might be chopped up by Cui Wenxin and thrown into Longmen Bay in two days.

He leaned against the door and said to Du Sitong: "...... Before I die, there is one thing I must tell you. ”

Du Sitong was shocked by his heavy tone and said, "...... Well? ”

Zheng Fangcheng said: "When you went to Yanjing, you brought 800 yuan of cosmetics to Bai Miao, and you brought me a doll of 800 yuan, is there any humanity?" ”

Du Sitong: "......"

She asked, "Then I'll bring you 800 yuan of cosmetics next time?" …… Do you use cosmetics? ”

The character modeling of the new engine is very fine, and compared with the current general 3D games, Lin Shu has high requirements in terms of details, movement fluency and aesthetics.

He even emphasized some very strange requirements to Du Sitong, asking Du Sitong to arrange an additional costume designer in the new engine's art staff.

Regarding this, Lin Shu explained: "Nowadays, many 3D online games have a very weird aesthetic in clothing, either they show too much, or they feel that they are very beautiful when they have a lot of decorations on their clothes, and the patterns are so complex that they are not coordinated at all. In the title game of our new engine, I want to try not to have that happening. ”

Du Sitong said: "I think this is just a normal design, and there is no need to hire a costume designer......

Lin Shu said: "No, it is still needed." Costumes are very visually appealing, and if you don't hire a costume designer, I want the final costume to be seen by a professional designer before I start designing. Essentially, I hope that our artists won't design clothes that go beyond common sense...... This is our style orientation for the future. ”

Du Sitong thought about it, and originally wanted to ask what the meaning of such a style orientation was, but after thinking about it, he still felt that clothes that were more in line with common sense looked more pleasing to the eye, so he didn't ask again.

In fact, she didn't know that Lin Shu's "general common sense" and "style orientation" were actually preparations for the development of virtual online games in the future. Lin Shu's current goal of developing most of the high-tech is to prepare for virtual online games, or virtual networks.

In the age of virtual networks, people will not only see the clothes of the game with their eyes, but also feel the existence of these clothes with their own bodies. In this case, a design that is too bizarre will only lead to offensive or uncomfortable results.

At that time, the intervention of real fashion designers is a natural thing.

082:

In addition to human modeling, another technology that Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng are focusing on is the testing of voice recognition control.

Regarding the technology of voice recognition control, in fact, both Zhou Fan and Bai Chiwen have already studied it before, and Zhou Fan even has some research numbers, which he spent a lot of time in school and after work. Because the previous work of the page game programmer was still relatively busy, Zhou Fan's progress was relatively slow, and the specific content was only a half-finished product, but it was still more useful for Xingze, who was still poor and white in this regard.

After all, it was Zhou Fan's research results, and after Lin Shu discussed with the local government, he bought the results at a more reasonable internal price. The subsequent research was still carried out by Zhou Fan, Bai Chiwen and others, but the patent rights were clearly attributed to the company.

Since Zhou Fan's research was basically a semi-finished product that had not been patented, Lin Shu did not pay him in the form of patent rights, but directly discounted Zhou Fan into a bonus and distributed it to him. In this way, while saving some of the formalities, both parties get their due returns.

Zhou Fan and Bai Chiwen didn't get along well at first, but Bai Chiwen was a little out of step and heartless. However, Zhou Fan seems to have mastered the law of taming beasts recently - the secret of taming Bai Chiwen lies entirely in the content and method of feeding.

Even relying on Zhou Fan's secret recipe, Bai Miao had successfully β–‘β–‘ Bai Chiwen to call her sister, and finally made this little bastard change his mind and stop stepping on Yu Xindi's sore feet and calling her by her real name.

However, compared with Bai Chiwen's character flaws, his professional ability is still worth watching. Zhou Fan soon discovered that this new colleague, who was still an intern, had an astonishing acumen for related technologies and a judgment to solve problems. For many problems, he chewed on chocolate and stared at it for a long time, and he was often able to find solutions quickly.

That as, ignore the dirty snack crumbs and sauce chocolate foam on scratch paper and keyboards.

Bai Miao felt strange: "You eat at work all day long, you eat after work, write programs, and hold candy from beginning to end, where does the meat grow?" ”

Bai Chiwen was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Sister, have you gained weight again recently?" Dieting every day and growing meat, are you envious, jealous and hateful? ”

After being taught a lesson by Bai Miao, he said aggrievedly: "...... Probably because the usual work is brain-intensive, so it consumes a lot? ”

Bai Miao didn't see where he usually worked, but Bai Chiwen was clean and efficient, and he deserved to be the top top student of Yan University.

It is said that he was still the leader in the province when he took the college entrance examination, which shows that his brain is easy to use. However, Bai Miao felt that eighty percent of the nutrients that should be given to EQ were assigned to IQ, so he could only speak on weekdays.

In any case, with the cooperation of Zhou Fan, Bai Chiwen and a group of technicians, the simple voice recognition control system can be said to have begun to take shape.

A complete speech recognition control system will definitely take a long time to create, but what Lin Shu asked to use in the game is only a relatively simple and crude prototype of the speech recognition control system.

It only needs to do a few steps, which is the recognition of some skill move names, and the recognition of some basic character action commands.

At present, Xingze only makes simple program modules. Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng respectively took the wireless microphone handed over by Zhou Fan and pinned it to their collars, and then looked at the computer screen wall used for display.

Xingze's demo hall currently has five video wall screens, two on top and three on the bottom. At present, Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng are using the two TV walls hanging above the comparison.

At this time, there is a figure standing in the center of each of these two screens, a red skirt on the left, a woman with a face like a spring dawn, and a young man in a Confucian shirt with an elegant temperament on the right.

The figure on the left belongs to Ju Mingfeng, and the figure on the right is currently controlled by Lin Shu, and the two characters are actually in the same program and the same picture, but the perspective is different.

Zhou Fan said: "At present, we can only distinguish some simple instructions and common sentence patterns. We have tried to do some skill instructions and related actions, this is the skill list, boss, you can try them one by one, to see if there are any omissions, or what related constructions are made. ”

Lin Shu said: "Okay, let's try." ”

He glanced at the skill list, then said, "Fan the peach blossoms." ”

saw that the scholar on the screen opened the fan, and with a flick of his wrist, the fan was attacked towards the chivalrous woman like a blade. Ju Mingfeng casually answered: "The sword points to Xuanhuang." ”

Then I saw the chivalrous girl with a sword like a shocking moon, bringing out a trace of jade-white streamer, and went straight to the scholar.

Lin Shu quickly answered: "Block!" ”

The scholar suddenly withdrew the folding fan, and then blocked it in front of him. A large "block" flashes in the center of the frame, and then the chivalrous girl's sword is blocked in front of the scholar. Ju Mingfeng said: "Put away the sword." ”

The chivalrous woman jumped back to where she had stood, and then sheathed her sword.

The tricks of scholars and chivalrous girls are actually a bit blunt, but this is not the part that Zhou Fan is responsible for, so there is no need to worry too much. If the time spent in the later stage continues, the characters or actions will definitely be fine, Lin Shu has no doubt about this.

Seeing that the two had tried the moves, Zhou Fan asked them to try their reactions to daily conversations. "Common dialogue phrases are recognizable, such as 'hello,' 'good morning,' 'polite,' and so and so...... Wait a minute. We typed in most of the phrases of common dialogue, and basically included all the conversations we could think of that would be suitable for triggering an action. Of course, due to the limited time, I think the content I have in mind may not be very comprehensive, and we may need to improve this aspect slowly. But boss, you can try it first, and if you find any omissions, you can write it down and go back and continue to improve. ”

Lin Shu listened, nodded, and said, "Okay." ”

Then he turned his head and continued to look at the screen, thought for a moment, and said, "Good day, girl." ”

Then I saw the scholar on the screen making a gesture to the chivalrous woman.

Seeing that it was funny, Ju Mingfeng deliberately pretended to be Lori's voice in a soft voice, and said into the microphone: "...... Childe is polite. ”

Then I saw the chivalrous woman put her hands on her front abdomen and bowed back.

Lin Shu thought for a while, but said, "Girl, please take a seat." ”

The scholar on the screen made a "please" action first, and then sat down by himself.

Ju Mingfeng replied: "Thank you, Childe." It is better to be respectful than to obey the concubine. ”

When Lin Shu invited the chivalrous girl to sit down, the screen from the chivalrous woman's perspective automatically popped up, "Someone invited you to sit down, do you agree?" And when Ju Mingfeng replied thank you, the chivalrous girl owed again, and then she replied, "It's better to be respectful than to obey", and the "agree" option on the prompt box flashed a blue light, and the chivalrous girl sat down automatically.

Up to this time, Lin Shu felt that all kinds of settings were relatively in line with his expectations, and there was no problem. After that, the two tried some other interactions, except for a few interactions that had bugs, needed to be modified and improved, and were recorded by Zhou Fan, most of the voice discrimination and intelligent responses were relatively natural and smooth, and there was no problem.

In the end, Lin Shu opened his mouth and asked Zhou Fan: "How about the ability to recognize some accents?" Considering that the accent of users in many places may be strict, the recognition ability in this area still needs to be strengthened. ”

Zhou Fan thought for a while and said, "I didn't think much about this. Let me think...... Why don't I go back and discuss it with the boss after I think about the solution? ”

Lin Shu said: "This is still more important, you can think about the countermeasures a little." ”

Nothing happened in the days after the test, and even the conflict with Feixin was temporarily eased and put down, as if the two companies had entered the winter break like some teams, and everyone began to curl up in the wind-blocking team to start recuperation.

However, there is another thing that has happened, that is, "Smoke and Rain Dark Thousand Homes" took advantage of the hot sale of the game, and it has already signed for publication, and has even begun to talk about film and television copyrights.

In addition to "A Thousand Homes in the Dark Rain", the previous essay contest also had works signed out for publishing and film and television copyrights, or because the author originally wrote very well, and it happened to cater to the theme of the essay competition, he wrote a more healthy and upward theme that was more in line with the PG direction, so it was suddenly favored by publishing companies and film and television companies.

Such news was undoubtedly shocking, so it soon flooded with a group of authors and readers. Among these authors, there are many male frequency authors, and some of them are quite famous, so Vice President Liu can't help but hesitate to open another male frequency substation.

But in any case, the situation is gaining momentum.

Although the strength of Kuaishu and Feixin is still firmly pressed on the two joint websites, it is inevitable that everyone will temporarily ignore these unhappy things, and then focus on happy things.

Then, in such a joyful atmosphere, the New Year is also approaching step by step. On the streets of Huxi City, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival has been very strong, and there are firecrackers everywhere from time to time, the sound of the old year and the new year, with a nostalgic and a little too strong sulfur smell, and the heavy atmosphere that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

The New Year is approaching.

For most people in Xingze, this Spring Festival is almost a little unexpected-as if they are still busy, and suddenly look up, only to find that the new year has not been invited.
