Part 41 His World
The testing department is a department with relatively low technical requirements in online game companies, and ordinary positions only need to have experience and enthusiasm for games to be competent, and Weiwei is also an online game master, and it is more than enough to do this job.
The job of a game tester can be boring, maybe you have to talk to the same NPC over and over again to see if there are any bugs, or you have to walk the same map over and over again...... It's definitely not what outsiders think, just play games.
Today, the test department is just going to test a large-scale task, and there is a shortage of manpower, so it is best to have more people. The members of the test department were worried that this beautiful woman who was said to be the boss's girlfriend came to the company to mess around, but who knew that people were just a little used to the operation of sleepwalking 2 and quickly got started.
The head of the testing department suddenly felt like a treasure, and quickly identified with Weiwei, the future boss lady.
Weiwei fell into a fascination as soon as she entered sleepwalking 2, and even "Jianghu people call me Brother Mei" excitedly ran to watch her, but she didn't have time to answer, causing Mozha to walk away lonely. At noon, he went out to eat with Xiao Nai, and Xiao Nai casually asked, "What did you do in the morning?" β
Weiwei's eyes suddenly lit up: "I've done the test of the flood mission." β
Because sleepwalking 2 simulates reality to the greatest extent in terms of weather changes, there are also sunrises and moonsets, wind, frost, thunder and lightning, wind and sunshine, and of course, rain and rain. Since there is continuous rain, of course, it will lead to heavy flooding in some places, so the flood task comes from this.
After a town is flooded, the system sends out a notification, calling on players to rescue NPC children and the elderly, rescue NPC property, and then get a certain reward. The player needs to learn the swimming skill, and then send the NPC to a safe place within the time limit, because the HP in the water is constantly decreasing, and if it is not delivered in time, the player will die and the mission will fail.
There is also the task of rebuilding homes after the disaster, and of course, the task of transporting water sources during drought. There are a lot of online games that Weiwei has played, but this is the first time I've seen such a particularly interesting multiplayer mission.
During the test, I also listened to the people in the test department talk about the task of feeding children in the nursery, the task of busking, the male farmer and the female weaver of the family system, etc., although it is only the tip of the iceberg of the game, but the ingenious task system of sleepwalking 2 has made a slight surprise.
But speaking of which, the biggest impact today is the scenery of sleepwalking 2.
The beautiful mountains, the vast rivers, the lush green bamboos, and the quiet deep valleys, these ordinary and accustomed scenery seem to be particularly ethereal and distant in sleepwalking 2.
Of course, it's not just the scenery, but also the smooth and gorgeous moves and realistic and changeable character expressions......
Weiwei knew that "Sleepwalking in the Rivers and Lakes 2" was a 3D engine written by the great god himself, rather than directly buying a foreign ready-made one, and it must be extraordinary in terms of picture quality and action. But before seeing the game in person, I never thought that the engine of the great god would make the scenery beautiful and the action so gorgeous.
But thinking about the great god himself, and then his gorgeous team, it felt normal slightly......
Speaking of which, with such a good engine, it goes without saying how much money will be made from the operation of "Sleepwalking in the Rivers and Lakes 2" in the future.
After eating, I went back to the company with Xiao Nai, in order to avoid being taken to yesterday's "crime scene" by the great god, I took the initiative and enthusiastically to visit the beautiful brother who was sad by her in the morning.
Xiao Nai smiled and didn't stop her, he wasn't someone who liked to be slimy in public. However, when there was a bug in the game test in the afternoon, he appeared in the testing department and debugged the program problem.
At that time, the employees of the testing department were very complicated, and they were basically silently shouting: In fact, we can solve it! You don't have to come in person, boss!
After a few days of testing work, Weiwei always felt that sleepwalking 2 was fundamentally different from the games he had played before, not only because of the exquisite and delicate graphics and deep historical heritage, etc., but also because of some other places. But she couldn't say exactly how it was, until one day she saw some details of sleepwalking 2's planning book, and she suddenly realized.
Sleepwalking 2 has a kind of anger.
In the world of sleepwalking 2, there is no such thing as immutability and absolute static, flowers bloom and fall, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and people rise and fall. A peony in the courtyard may have been budding a few days ago, and when you look at it a few days later, it may have been scorching and blooming. A wine shop in the capital, maybe it was full of guests yesterday, but it will be defeated in the blink of an eye and change the owner. A woman in the west of the city may be in the boudoir this month, but she will be married to the east of the city next month. Even the NPCs in the drugstore grocery store take shifts off.
It's just a small scene and NPC change, but it gives people a sense of dynamics and development, sweeping away the lifeless feeling of previous online games.
Sleepwalking 2 basically has ingenuity in all aspects, such as the marriage robbery in the marriage link, such as the independent move design of the martial arts system, such as the warrior clan in the career design (read to become an official and then summon the guards to fight according to the level, you can refer to the Western summoning system to understand......
All kinds of whimsical ideas run through the whole game, but the biggest feature of sleepwalking 2 is that it really parallels the life system and the rivers and lakes system.
This is very rare in online games. Online games have always been distinct, fighting is fighting, life is life, even if there is a life system in a combat game, it is just a small game of the auxiliary type.
It's not that online game developers don't want to do it, it's that they can't do it. In order to save money and trouble, most of the domestic developers directly buy foreign engines, and foreign engines are either based on combat upgrades, supplemented by life, or based on life cultivation and appropriate combat adjustments.
But Shaunai is a self-developed engine, of course, he can completely jump out of this mode and freely make what he wants.
In any case, these innovations are still limited to the scope of games, and what can really be called strategic innovation is the life system of "Sleepwalking 2", which combines C/S and B/S.
The layman's explanation is that it combines online games that need to be downloaded and installed by yourself with web games that do not need to be downloaded and installed at all.
Here's the simplest example.
For example, what if you plant a flower in your garden in sleepwalking 2, but it blooms when you are at work, and you can't play games in the office? Then you just need to open the web version of sleepwalking 2 and you can squat in the office to collect flowers.
For example, if you have a son who has to eat three meals a day, and you don't want to put him in a system nursery, what should you do? When you go to work, go to the web version and hey.
It is conceivable that these features will be extended to mobile phones in the future.
At present, major game companies are focusing on developing browser games that are suitable for office workers and players with low computer configurations, but at present, there is no game on the market that combines 3D online games and browser games.
Sleepwalking 2 is a precedent in this regard.
It's an absolute genius innovation.
"Not only that, but you might as well think backwards." On the way to work one day, listening to the slight gushing praise, Xiao Nai said very calmly, at least on the surface.
"Huh?"
"Before the internal testing of the online game, the web version of the sleepwalking 2 life system will be opened first."
Hey? This is new, but what is the purpose of this?
I started thinking slightly.
Seeing that she didn't think of it for a while, Xiao Nai further reminded: "Then before the sleepwalking 2 closed beta, we will promote the video of the home in the 3D online game on the web version." β
I understood it for a moment.
Players on the web page will definitely feel the urge to see their garden in a 3D game and ......
One qiΔ can be imagined.
This strategy of the great god is so ambitious that it is almost necessary to wipe out all kinds of players.
Slightly enthusiastic, extended thinking.
What will happen to this kind of player who doesn't like to fight and kill when he enters the game, of course, you can not fight monsters or level up, only grow vegetables and collect vegetables, raise pigs and ducks, weave and tailor, and study food...... However, if you feel that being a farmer is boring, no one will stop you from going to learn art and walking the rivers and lakes. Moreover, the system will try its best to seduce you, for example, planting vegetables to grow a elixir, doubling your skills after eating, such as digging up this cheats from cultivating the land, and making clothes actually makes good equipment...... And unfortunately none of these things can be sold......
Thereupon......
So, the great god is a conspirator ==
No, maybe it's right to say that it's a yang schemer, who is best at digging traps and making people watch the traps jump down > o <
Weiwei was immersed in sleepwalking 2 day after day, almost forgetting to sleep and eat, and once Xiao Nai walked to her side and didn't pay attention, so Xiao Nai was teased by the people in the testing department.
"Brother Xiao, how does it feel to lose to your own game?"
Xiao Nai felt very unhappy, and he had been unhappy for several days. Who can stand the girlfriend who hasn't seen him for a long time and whispers games in his ear every day, and in desperation, Xiao Nai simply forbidden: "Don't mention the word game when you leave the company in the future." β
Weiwei felt a little happy in her heart, and a little aggrieved, and defended: "That's your game!" β
Sleepwalking 2 is your world.
The game cannot be completed by itself, and a game will inevitably condense the wisdom of the entire team, but Shaunai, as the ultimate designer of this game, is the soul of the whole game.
"Sleepwalking in the Rivers and Lakes 2", a kind of Cheng dΓΉ said, is his world.
It reflects his outlook on life, his values, and in this game, Weiwei sometimes even feels like he is flying in his broad heart.
He is omnipresent, perfect and powerful.
It seems like.
I like him a little more.
After staying in the testing department for a week, Xiao Nai took Weiwei to one of the departments under his direct supervision, the planning department, and started to assist in planning.
Weiwei didn't have any opinion on this transfer.
She wanted to go to the planning department, and she almost couldn't wait to add something of her own to his world.
