Chapter 004: Miniature Life Potion
Lu Zhixing couldn't suppress his urge to complain: "I played a tree, and then the material really only gave me a tree!"
"What kind of game can I do with this tree alone!"
[Please don't be impatient, you can also consume points to learn materials in reality, or buy materials directly in the game's material library.] However, the latter will be sold at a higher price. 】
Lu Zhixing nodded when he heard this: "That's right, I don't just have a tree, I still have 200 points."
"I don't know what the price in the material library is, if these points can buy a lot of resources, then the misunderstanding will be resolved."
A new interface appeared in Lu Zhixing's field of vision, but nothing was displayed on the interface for the time being, only a search box.
This should be the material library that comes with life playing games.
Lu Zhixing thought about it and casually typed in a keyword: prison.
With a "bang", the interface is divided into categories to show several different styles of prisons, including domestic, foreign, modern, ancient, and fantasy styles.
Lu Zhixing casually opened a foreign-style prison, which looks very similar to the style of some movies or dramas with the theme of prison breaks.
Here, you can also customize the size of the cell, add new functional areas, and even customize different shapes of prisoners or jailers. Conversely, you can select only a small part of the area.
The larger the size, the more customized content and the more expensive it is.
If you want to have a complete set of prison templates and all kinds of configurations, the displayed point price is ......
80000!
Lu Zhixing was shocked, looking at his pitiful 200 points, he was speechless for a while.
"It's too expensive! You have to play as the Big Tree 400 times to afford it! ”
Although the content of this prison template is perfect, as long as you buy it, you can directly make a jailbreak puzzle type game, but the price makes Lu Zhixing prohibitive.
[Buying assets directly in the library is a faster way to buy assets, so it's more expensive.] 】
[Players can also consider using materials in reality, and the points consumed will be greatly reduced.] 】
Lu Zhixing suddenly said: "I see." ”
Buying materials directly consumes more points than taking materials in reality, but it is more convenient and suitable for some scenarios that are difficult to source materials in reality.
For example, this prison scene is not very convenient to draw materials from reality, so you can't go into the orange to experience it yourself, right?
At such times, it is much more cost-effective to buy directly with points.
Of course, it may be more cost-effective to find an outsourced team to produce the relevant materials in reality, provided that there is money.
"Okay, then I'll try the material collection function again.
"If 200 points can take a lot of things, that's acceptable."
Lu Zhixing walked out of the utility room and set his eyes on the entire second floor of the Internet café.
The next second, a note appeared in his field of vision.
[Material-Internet Cafe: Spend 10,000 points to buy an Internet café template. This template includes most of the materials related to Internet cafes, including the overall structure of Internet cafes, different decoration styles, computers, tables and chairs, shop assistants (including models and various movements) and other related content. 】
Lu Zhixing carefully counted the 0 behind 1, and fell silent again.
"Emmmm, it's a lot cheaper.
“…… What a ghost!
"This is what you call 'greatly reduced consumption points'? With 10,000 points, don't you still have to play the tree 50 times to afford it! ”
Lu Zhixing looked at his pitiful 200 points, and deeply felt what it meant to be shy.
"It's only 200 points in total, and I can't buy any large-scale materials, which is completely insufficient for the size of a game!
"And the game didn't release me any new role-playing missions, which means that even if I wanted to continue to play as Big Tree, it wouldn't be possible to earn points."
Before, there was no money, but now there are no points and no money.
Uncomfortable!
Lu Zhixing was a little discouraged, but he was not a person who gave up easily.
"You can't be crushed by difficulties, you have to go up if you have difficulties, and you have to go up if you don't have difficulties to create difficulties!
"Oh no, it should be that there are no conditions to create conditions!
"If you want to make a game with the limited assets you have at hand, you have to make use of the materials from that tree. According to the mall pricing, the material of this tree is probably worth at least a few hundred points, and it is the most valuable material I have so far.
"In addition, whether it is a purchase or a material, narrowing down the scope can also greatly reduce the number of points required.
"What kind of game can you make with these limited resources......
Lu Zhixing fell into deep thought.
In fact, life playing games are not Lu Zhixing's only golden finger, he also has an invisible golden finger, that is, the experience of his previous life.
In his previous life, he was a functional planner of a game company, although he was essentially a brick mover, but his experience in game companies in the past few years still made his game understanding surpass most people.
What's more, he is a time-traveler and has seen many excellent works of art in that world, and this kind of vision and perspective can form a dimensionality reduction blow to the designers of this world.
"There it is!"
Lu Zhixing had a flash of inspiration and an idea.
He thought of several very famous games in his previous life, known as the "Four Great Masters of Steam", each of which alone can be called a heavyweight.
And some of these games happen to be made with these materials in his hands!
Of course, there is a certain element of chance that these games have become popular, and if you want to make their success inevitable in this parallel world, you have to make some small adaptations.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhixing immediately began to prepare for the game.
First, find the prison template you've seen before in the mall, and then limit it to a very modest prison cell.
Originally, the price of the entire prison template was 80,000 points, but after being limited to a mere cell, there were almost no other materials in it except for the bare walls and floor, so it only took 70 points to get it.
Then, Lu Zhixing went out again, left the Internet café, took a bus to the old city, and found a stone bridge.
It cost 110 points to take pictures of the stone bridge and some of the scenery around the stone bridge, such as the flowing water under the bridge and the surrounding scenery.
With 20 points left, Lu Zhixing walked around the mall again and found that some basic functions were very cheap, so he bought a simple music game function: players can play different notes by pressing the button.
It's normal for this kind of feature to be sold cheaply, after all, in reality, anyone with a little programming skills can make it in the editor without any pressure.
……
After collecting the materials, Lu Zhixing returned to the Internet café, put on the VR game headset again, and entered the editor.
I simply rummaged through the editor's built-in asset library, but I didn't see the materials I had purchased before.
Judging from the current situation, they seem to only exist in Lu Zhixing's mind.
"Do you mean ......?"
Lu Zhixing naturally had a bold idea, he opened the image drawing and model making tools that came with the editor, and tried to reawaken those extremely clear materials in his mind.
The next second, something magical happened.
He actually started making models at breakneck speed!
At this time, Lu Zhixing seemed to be entrusted, incarnated as a humanoid printer, and transported those materials to the editor in an unbelievable way!
Every detail is accurate and extremely efficient.
Of course, because the material itself is very detailed, such as the tree, with very complex texture details, it is almost as easy to draw as if it were a hyper-realistic painting hand-painted in reality.
In this state of "humanoid printer", Lu Zhixing still has to spend several hours to transport all these models and textures.
But this is already a very exaggerated speed.
If the same material is handed over to a professional art team, it will still take several days to complete the production under the condition of good division of labor.
By the time Lu Zhixing had moved all the prepared materials into the editor, he looked at the time, and more than six hours had passed.
It's late at night.
"I see, the 'Life Playing Game' will imprint all these materials in my mind and give me the ability to make them. In other words, the materials I obtained in the real world can be transferred to the editor for a certain amount of time, and then made into a game and released to the virtual world.
"I just don't know if there will be a more labor-saving and faster way to handle it in the future, so it's really tiring......"
Working at high intensity for more than six hours in a row made Lu Zhixing feel dizzy and indescribably tired.
He wanted to rest and start the game after waking up tomorrow, but after thinking about it, he decided to finish it in one go.
Because the game he was going to make this time was not complicated in itself, it should take an hour or two to complete. Moreover, the sooner the game is completed, the sooner it can be submitted for review and the sooner it will be put on the shelves to make money.
Lu Zhixing began to sort, classify, and splice these materials, and stitched them into a game.
If there were other people watching at this time, their faces would be full of shock.
What's going on?
Lu Zhixing's game materials can't be said to be unrelated, but they can only be said to be unrelated.
A single room in a cell, a field, a tree, a stone bridge......
No matter how you look at this, you can't beat it!
But there is no way, Lu Zhixing now has so many resources at hand.
In fact, he originally wanted to use that field to make a hunting simulator or fishing simulator or something, but after a brief research, he found that he couldn't afford a gun template, and he couldn't make a complex way to play hunting or fishing, so the idea had to die.
As for the game that Lu Zhixing wants to do now......
There may be a little bit of cheating, but it's already the best use of these materials.
Moreover, it has a chance of catching fire, although this chance is not very large.
Before you know it, another hour has passed.
"That's it!"
Lu Zhixing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he checked it one last time to make sure that the game was exactly what he had originally envisioned.
After that, he saved the project file and generated two different versions, the normal version and the VR version.
Anyway, it doesn't take much effort, and one more version has more possibilities for success.
If the game can be popular, Lu Zhixing doesn't mind releasing the mobile version and console version later.
Finally, there is also a name for this game.
Lu Zhixing thought about it for a while, and filled in the name and profile that he had already thought of and seemed a little tricky.
The name of the game: "Zen".
Game Description: Everything has a way, such as a dream bubble, such as dew and electricity, should be viewed as such.
The price of the game: 5 yuan for the PC version and 10 yuan for the VR version.
After checking it one last time and making sure that there were no problems, Lu Zhixing submitted it for review.
He then exited the virtual world, took off his game helmet, washed up briefly, and fell asleep on the camp bed.
……
……
At noon the next day, Lu Zhixing woke up in the storage room on the second floor of the Internet café.
Last night, I took out the game liver in one go, and it took a lot of brain cells, so that Lu Zhixing is still a little confused.
The hungry Lu Zhixing went to the bathroom of the Internet café to simply wash his face, and then went to the front desk to get a bucket of instant noodles and a grilled sausage, and then found a corner computer and searched for the keyword "Zen" in the game store.
Soon, the search results actually showed up the game he made yesterday.
"The speed of review in this world is quite fast."
If you can find it, it means that it has been reviewed.
It's just that so far, it is still in a state of complete neglect. No clicks, no sales, and no reviews.
Proper three-no product.
“…… It's still too unreliable to count on natural exposure. ”
This is also within Lu Zhixing's expectations, it is not easy for a game as simple as this and even some cheats to pass the review, and it is almost impossible to get official recommended resources.
Without the initial exposure, there is naturally no possibility of any explosion in the future.
"If you wait like this, I don't know if you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey, or maybe when the Internet café closes down, there may not be the first player.
"Gotta figure it out!"
