On the rental app, several people look at the house together.

"How's this?"

"The space is a bit cramped, right? It's enough for the time being, if you recruit people in the future, do you have to move the place, no, no, try to get it in one step. ”

"I think so, it may not be possible to do it in one step, but at least we have to find a place that can fit more than 100 people."

"What about this? There's a lot of space, and it's not expensive. ”

"The place is enough, the location is a bit out of the way."

"This? Forget it, the surrounding environment is not very good. ”

"This one is a bit off."

"Don't worry, look for it slowly, it's not like you're going to move out anytime soon."

Zhong Ming and a few people looked at the new office location and temporarily locked a few alternatives.

There are still a lot of requirements for the new office location, the place should be large, the environment should be good, the nearby supporting facilities, transportation and so on should also be considered as much as possible. As for the price, as long as it's not too expensive.

After reading it on the Internet, you still need to go to the field to investigate, but these viewing apps have the function of panoramic viewing, basically the indoor layout, surrounding environment and other content can be seen on the Internet, and there are not many things that can be seen on the spot. Therefore, as long as a few people go separately to take a look to ensure that this information is true and there are no pitfalls, they can roughly determine it.

……

Zhong Ming went out to see the two finalized office locations, and felt that they were okay, but he was not particularly satisfied, and he wondered if he would go around again.

After looking at the house, Zhong Ming went to Zhihuan Technology for a trip.

It was still Yang Chengye who came out to greet him, and he was very happy to see Zhong Ming: "Teacher Zhong, the voice collection is basically completed, and you can see the effect today!" ”

Zhong Ming nodded: "Well, that's what I'm here for." Let's take a look. ”

Yang Chengye and Zhong Ming came to the recording studio, and the recording here had just been completed.

Zhao Shanshan sat on the side, swinging his two thin legs boredly. Her work is almost complete, but she can't go yet, because there may be some notes that need to be re-recorded.

After the sound source is collected, the intelligent system will generate Chanel's voice according to the sound source, and at the same time detect whether there are some unnatural or stuck places, if so, it is necessary to arrange voice actors to supplement these parts to ensure that Chanel's voice is intact and natural, and there is no very obvious electronic falsetto.

Zhao Shanshan saw Zhong Ming coming, and made a grimace at Zhong Ming very arrogantly.

Zhong Mingyile, this little girl, eccentric.

Listening to Yang Chengye, during the dubbing period, Zhao Shanshan worked quite seriously, sometimes recording for more than ten hours as soon as she recorded, she didn't mess around, she didn't complain, and the recording effect was good, so she could complete it so quickly.

Yang Chengye said to the staff next to him: "Tune out the voice library of Xia Nell, match the model, and encapsulate it into the smart module to see the preliminary effect." ”

The staff nodded: "It's okay, but there may be some minor flaws." ”

Yang Chengye: "I know. ”

The staff operates on the computer in one meal, and all the relevant data is transmitted to the intelligent module connected to the computer.

Soon, the transfer was complete.

Yang Chengye installed the smart module on the wall, and then said in a normal volume: "Xia Nell? ”

"What's the matter with calling Miss Ben?"

In the open space in the center of the room, a light blue translucent figure appeared, and in two or three seconds, this translucent phantom gradually condensed, and the figure of Xia Nell, who was about the same height as a real person, appeared.

Height 168 (with high heels), two-color ponytail, after coming out, he yawned, as if he had just woken up.

Zhao Shanshan's expression was a little exciting, because Xia Naer's voice was familiar and unfamiliar to her, after all, it was all a sound source collected from her. It's like listening to your own voice in a chat app, which is a bit weird.

A staff member in charge of producing the sound source next to him whispered: "It's so dragging......"

Yang Chengye smiled and explained: "There are three personality settings to choose freely, and this kind of character is like this. We call it 'archetypal personality'. ”

"Oh, I see." The staff understood.

The staff here are only responsible for the collection of sound sources, and some specific settings of the intelligent module and the specific effect of intelligent AI are not clear, so there is this question.

Indeed, for those who don't know, it will be a little surprising to hear that Chanel's first sentence is in this tone.

When other intelligent modules talk to their owners, they often have that cute feeling and are very obedient. For example, when you first activate it, you will usually say, "Hello, master, is there anything I can do for you?" Or, "Master, I am here, ready to tell you what you want." ”

But Chanel is not, Zhihuan Technology has set up three personality modes specifically for Chanel, namely: archetypal character, traditional personality and independent character.

The traditional character is the character of other intelligent modules, Chanel's personality is gentle and lovely, very obedient, open and close the owner's hello, serve wholeheartedly, and will never have any behavior that violates the master's orders.

Of course, this is a conservative approach.

After all, this smart module is aimed at the largest number of users, and there is nothing wrong with being conservative. Users can choose not to do without, but not without.

The archetypal personality is relatively compromised, and Chanel will still complete the various tasks assigned by the master, but in terms of tone and action, it is different from other intelligences, and it will appear more arrogant.

As for the independent personality, it is completely shown according to an independent person, and Chanel will also lose her temper, and her personality is more prominent. But overall, Chanel is very kind to the host. When it was designed before, Zhong Ming jokingly called this mode "wife mode", although Xia Neier is very good to the owner, but there will still be contradictions.

The three modes will be selected when the user activates the smart module for the first time, and the interface will briefly introduce the differences between these three modes. Of course, if the user doesn't like the mode they choose, they can also change it at any time.

Now Yang Chengye chooses a prototype character, that is, a relatively compromise option.

"Chanel, let's play a game." Yang Chengye said.

"Okay, you see, you need me to carry it. Don't worry, it's on me! ”

Chanel's image sits down in front of the screen, and a virtual handle appears in her hand.

At the same time, TVs and game consoles automatically turn on and connect.

Yang Chengye began to play games with Xia Nell.

According to the setting, Xia Nell's game level is relatively high, and the operation skills are roughly equivalent to the top 30% of the players' level, and the game IQ is relatively set to be slightly lower, but it is definitely above the level of ordinary players.

This game level can be freely adjusted within a certain range, if the player feels that Chanel is too strong and affects their game experience, they can appropriately lower the level of Chanel and carry it themselves.

After all, the level of players is uneven, and it is really possible to be carried by the computer.

Of course, Chanel only supports two-player or multiplayer mode of playing stand-alone games with players, and cannot replace players to play competitive online games, which can be regarded as a restriction on the artificial intelligence system, after all, Chanel's level is so high, and when the time comes, ordinary players will let Chanel help them score, and it will be troublesome.

Yang Chengye played for a while, and then tested other aspects, such as talking directly to Xia Nell, you can change the settings of the smart module, and you can also control the smart home appliances at home.

Chanel's intelligent module has a deep learning system, which will make slight corrections to the intelligent system according to the user's reaction and preferences during the user's use.

For example, if a player has a favorite game, then Chanel will automatically expand the database of other games of the same type, and even recommend the player to play a game that he may be interested in; At the same time, for players with different personalities, although the same mode is chosen, Chanel's personality will also be slightly different.

Zhao Shanshan looked at the virtual Xia Nell and was a little shocked.

It's a bit realistic!

Especially the fact that you can play games with you is so attractive!

Finding someone to play with is the biggest pain point and the most urgent need of many players now.

Of course, you can find a friend, but if a friend happens to like the same game, this situation is actually hard to come by. Especially when players like some niche games and unpopular games, it is too difficult to play with friends.

But the key point is that some games just have to be played in a squad to get the best gaming experience.

For example, "Road to Despair", which Yang Chengye is playing now, is such a game. In Zhong Ming's opinion, this game is not much different from the "Diablo" in the previous life, and it is a game with brushing and brushing as the core fun.

This game is relatively niche.,Not too many people play.,You can go to the Internet and team up with strangers.,But this time it's over.,Next time it's a new one.,There's no interaction between each other.,It's going to be more boring.。

If you play it by yourself, it's boring and inefficient.

With Chanel, when playing "Road to Despair", you can directly choose the two-player mode, play a character by yourself, play a character with Chanel, brush equipment together, and interact with Chanel, and you can exchange equipment with each other, and the fun comes up all of a sudden.

Zhong Ming saw Zhao Shanshan's eyes light up and asked, "How is it, do you want it?" ”

Zhao Shanshan nodded vigorously: "I want it!" I want her to play games with me! But I just think it's a little weird, as if I'm playing with myself. ”

Zhong Ming said: "The price should be 998, buy one." ”

Yang Chengye laughed: "Why is this a salesman?" It's okay, if Miss Zhao likes it, I'll give you one back. ”

"Look how generous Mr. Yang is!" Zhao Shanshan said.

"Come on, can you feel it?" Yang Chengye handed the handle to Zhao Shanshan, and Zhao Shanshan happily played the game with Xia Nell.

Yang Chengye sat down next to Zhong Ming: "How is it?" ”

Zhong Ming nodded: "Very good, I think there is a lot to be done." Has the release date been set? ”

Yang Chengye looked at the date on the bracelet: "Tentatively, it will be sold online on January 23." But before that, there is a science and technology exhibition on January 18th, and I am going to take it there to make an appearance with other products of our company, and test the players' tone first. ”

Zhong Ming nodded: "What about the pricing?" Or 998? ”

Yang Chengye nodded: "Yes, but I'm also wondering if the first batch of users will give a discount, such as 888 or something, although it will lose a few dollars a little, but at least the publicity effect will be better." ”

Zhong Ming thought for a while: "I have an idea, the first batch of discounts, it is better to sell the platinum collector's edition." ”

"Huh? Platinum Collector's Edition? Same as the game? Yang Chengye was stunned.

"Yes, the first part of the original was sold and the other part was sold in platinum collector's editions. In the collector's edition, there are custom figures of Chanel, as well as some simple small peripherals, mouse pads, keychains, custom bracelets, wristbands, etc., of course, mainly figures. Sold for 1288. ”

Yang Chengye was happy: "Not only did the first batch of co-authors not only have no discounts, but also increased in price." 998 turned into 1288? ”

Zhong Ming smiled: "1288 This is a price reduction, why can't a figure be sold for four or five hundred?" Now in addition to the 998 smart module, a bunch of peripherals are also sent, as well as figures, and consumers are of course making money with blood. ”

"Okay, it's also a way, Chanel is really suitable for doing it. Then I told them that I would quickly start contacting relevant companies to make figures in the near future, and strive to make some in batches before the official release. Are you sure anyone will actually buy a Platinum Collector's Edition, though? Yang Chengye asked.

Zhong Ming said firmly: "Of course, what kind of people do you think like Xia Nell." That's all legendary houses, you know? Everyone has a lot of money, 1288 with a figure, it's equivalent to giving it away for nothing, can you not buy it? ”

……

The next day.

"Ink and Smoke" is officially released.

On the day of its release, "Ink and Smoke" directly entered the top 10 on the charts of multiple game markets and sparked heated discussions on the Internet!

On Weibo, all kinds of well-known big Vs, especially big Vs in the cultural circle, have stood on the platform to publicize, and even President Qian of the Calligraphy Association praised this game!

Under this kind of offensive, "Ink and Smoke" has successfully appeared on various hot searches, and the situation is very good!

In terms of revenue, "Ink and Smoke" also continued the level of the previous three games, and did not embarrass Shimmer Studio.

In addition to the 1.8 million prize money for the first prize of the Global Game Art Concept Competition, the sales of "Ink and Smoke" are expected to exceed 500,000 in the first month, and the price is 20 yuan, that is, the turnover in the first month is about 10 million.

As a relatively niche indie game, it is already extremely amazing to have such sales.

In this way, the three games of "Latent Red Road", "Working Dog Survival Manual", and "Ink and Smoke" have an average monthly turnover of nearly 10 million, and other miscellaneous incomes, such as Zhong Ming going to "Fantasy Domain" to help with the plot, and the money spent by Zhihuan Technology to buy the first phase of Chanel's copyright, all add up, and the studio already has more than 10 million funds in its account.
