Chapter 7: Unexpected Fun

Video games, which teenagers are playing.

Rather, in this day and age, people who don't play video games at all are already in the minority.

The pace of human life is accelerating, which is like dancing, and the street dance that the elderly disco and the youth like is obviously different in terms of physical exertion. The higher and higher quality of life has also begun to make parents place higher and higher hopes on their children.

A very simple comparison, 30 years ago, children's task was only to go to school, and few people would enroll their children in interest classes, children's palaces, private tutors, and few science and technology competitions, knowledge competitions, talent competitions, and other activities that required them to spend a lot of time.

It is the nature of children to love to play, and if they forcibly kill their playfulness, the result will only attract children's resistance. The appearance is detached, and the yang is contrary to the yin.

Originally, the schoolwork is heavy, and parents have to ignore the various interest classes given by their children's interests, so it is conceivable that their lives are bound to lack pleasure.

When people are tired, they generally do two things.

The first is to rise to the challenge in the face of difficulties.

However, there are too few such people, especially among children.

The second option is to retreat, curl up and shiver in a safe place. Looking forward to the early departure of the difficulties.

This mentality, also known as the ostrich mentality, may not be useful, but it can really make people who hide their heads feel comforted.

That's probably why video games have become popular: because children need an outlet to vent their tiredness.

Therefore, in order to make more people accept the game, the game has become more and more diversified, and the cathartic requirements of different groups of people are more and more compounded.

However, with so many gamers who are passionate about games, I'm afraid that few people know how video game production companies work. Even if there is understanding, it is estimated that it is known from animation and lace news. What does a real video game production company look like? They don't know. - At least, in reality, you can't find a game production company that is full of cute girls, and there is no game production team that can form a romantic comedy like a man and multiple girls.

The reason why the game is interesting is that there are a group of people who repeatedly debug the code, repeatedly listen to the music, repeatedly modify the details of the picture, repeatedly scrutinize the script and the relationship between the characters, and a group of people quietly solve the most complex things when no one notices, and only present the most interesting side to the player.

At least, Hibiki Kawajin hadn't thought it would be such a dreary place before he came to the game production company in person.

People don't talk much, wear big headphones on their heads, and wear glasses regardless of their eyesight.

Headphones are designed to protect hearing and have less hearing damage to the ears than in-ear headphones. If you want to do this for a long time, listening is very important.

Not to mention eyesight, everyone wears glasses that prevent blue light. This anti-blue light glasses are claimed to be able to block the damage of electronic signals to the human eye, but no one knows how it actually is. Anyway, that's what the above said, even if you really want to put it into practice, it will have to be a few years or even more than ten years later, and the glasses seller will have long since denied it.

Then there's the quiet environment.

This is what Kawajin does not understand the most.

In fact, after the company's fantasies, dreamsless shell, Kawagami's rationality was about to accept this, so he made up something else in his head.

That should be a battlefield-like place.

The office is filled with:

"Hey, there's a bug just submitted!"

"Artwork artist! The 11-25 pictures in the third group will all be reworked, and there will be 8 pictures in the seventh group! ”

"What the hell! The demo version crashed straight away! Does anyone really do debug?! ”

"Hurry up! The dead line is coming! ”

This......

Kawajin also thought that this place would become a place where everyone yelled and wailed, and clapped and shouted, a place where everyone made a loud noise in order to make a decision quickly.

Because...... Kawajin had a vague feeling as if he had been in a similar place before, listening to similar noisy sentences.

But that's not the case at all!

It's very quiet here, and the noisiest thing is the clapping of the person in charge when I just got started.

No one spoke, just tapped on the keyboard and used the software to communicate. Occasionally, when there is an exchange of documents, it must be to get up softly, walk over quickly, behind the other party's side, lower your body, and whisper to the other party what the contents of your document are.

"Okay, feel free to move for now."

Kawajin breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, the reason why he was able to think so much about what he didn't have just now was purely because he was very idle.

It's very idle.

Didn't you say before that he was taken to a place full of green cloth?

This green cloth is something that will be [deducted] in the future.

Because both the Japanese and the Chinese are Asians and yellows. The yellow skin will be incompatible with the green background, and when the time comes, as long as you use the software, all the green color will be excluded, and only I will be left.

Kawajin had all kinds of machines hanging on his body, like a small light bulb for a physics experiment, many tiny parts attached to his body, and even electrodes like plasters on his face, and he had just been standing in place and looking at the people outside until he received the order to move.

Although theoretically this is a soundproof room, and it can only be communicated with the outside through the communicator on the ceiling, it is not sealed after all, and as long as there is an exchange of air currents, Kawajin can know the situation outside through vibration.

This ability was still very weak at LV4, but it can be officially used in actual combat at LV5.

Thinking of this, he stretched his waist greatly, snapped his knuckles to make a clicking sound, and moved his body briefly.

"Excellent! The basic parameters have been achieved, and the next ......"

What follows is a series of simple instructions. For example, squatting, lying down, jumping and so on, it's simple, but it's boring.

After about ten minutes, the door opened, and someone came to help him remove the device on his body.

"How's it going, can you see my character?"

Kawajin quipped jokingly.

"Lights haven't been added for rendering yet, but the model is ready. Do you want to see it? ”

Then I got an unexpected answer.

Kawajin originally felt that it should be [Ah, don't be kidding, Mr. Kawajin, how can there be such a fast], and something like that, but I didn't expect that he would do a good job of playing a role for himself so quickly?

Kawajin swept around, and at once he could see that his character was on that computer.

Because - Chiyuki Shimazaki and Sister Misaka are on the left and right, like a pair of door gods posted in the Chinese countryside, standing behind other people's production staff. Keep your eyes on the screen, and you know that you can see yourself here.

Kawajin followed the person in charge out, and Shimazaki Chiyuki saw Kawajin at a glance, couldn't suppress his excitement, and waved his hand happily: "Brother Hibiki is here!" Look, it's Hibiki! ”

The sentence was rather confusing, but she could still guess what she was trying to convey from her excited expression. Kawajin smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't be so loud, it will cause trouble for others." ”

As soon as she heard this, Shimazaki Chiyuki quickly covered her mouth, looking well-behaved and cute and silent.

On the computer screen, Kawajin stretched out his arms widely, like a cross, standing in a pitch-black space, stepping on a white square grid that stretched into the deep pitch-black space. I was standing in the darkness.

This model is still relatively rough, the expression is indescribably stiff, the limbs are also rigidly held flat, wearing the red sweatshirt that Kawajin is used to, the lower body is black pants, white sneakers, and there is a subtle feeling, as if looking at his own ...... Well...... The same as a corpse?

It's kind of disgusting.

Seeing Kawajin staring at the screen without moving, the person in charge thought that he was interested in this model, so he gave the technician next to him a look, and the other party hurriedly operated Kawagami's model and moved.

I saw that in the black space, [Kawajin] moved his shoulders, stretched his waist, and snapped his fingers, which was almost exactly the same as Kawajin's previous movements.

This is how motion capture works, where a detailed model is first made, and then the movable items of the model are grafted with the movable parts of the real-life collector, that is, the various small electronic devices that were previously attached to Kawajin's body.

Then, it's just to let the other person move.

To do the action, the human muscles are bound to contract and relax, how to retract? How? What angle? By how much? Detailed data such as these are collected by the machine and fed back to the model.

Kawajin suddenly became interested and asked, "Is it possible that I can do anything?" ”

"Of course! Because this model is exactly the same as Kawajin-kun, as long as your body can do it, this model can do it. ”

Kawajin is finally interested.

"So, do you want to try to record the battle moves?"

"Combat moves?"

Kawagami's tone was obviously interested.

Sister Misaka watched from the side, looked at Shimazaki, and the two of them came to a conclusion together in their hearts: obviously there was a lack of interest that wanted to shirk before, but as soon as it turned out to be fun, she immediately changed her position. This person is really heavy on playfulness.

Sometimes, there is a feeling as if Hibiki Kawajin is not a peer, but a child.

However, Chiyuki Shimazaki likes his childish place.

Sister Misaka...... It's hard to say, it's hard to even say if you like him, and it's just because the above gave her an order to give her to the god of Sichuan.

Just as the two of them were distracted, Kawajin was brought in again.

Fighting games, as the name suggests, are games of [fighting]. Let the character fight in a specific place 1V1, and since you want to fight, you need to record the battle action.

The earliest fighting games only had attack buttons.

Yes, even the movement is system-operated. However, this kind of game is generally conventional, and it is not considered a fighting game.

Later, the fighting game added movement and jumping functions.

At this time, there was a prototype.

At the next point, the key points are divided.

This fighting game is mainly played in arcades, and takes advantage of the number of keys in the arcade console (which is an advantage compared to other consoles) to develop more detailed movements.

For example, light punches, heavy punches, light feet, heavy feet.

The more detailed game even has the setting of the middle punch and the kick, the long-distance action is not the same as the close-range action, the action in the jump is not the same, and so on.

Fighting games are designed to make people feel the fighting game, and if there are more operations, it will naturally make people feel that [this character is controlled by me].

As for how easy it is to get started? Actually, there is no improvement.

To put it mildly, newcomers are all randomly pressing the keys anyway, and there is no difference between the four attack buttons and the six attack buttons for them - they are all blindly pressed anyway.

Yes, and then there are basic movements, such as standing standby, provocation, moving, hind legs, jumping, turning, and so on.

Kawajin was interested, and he had a foundation, so he had a lot of fun just by entering the action.

He obeyed the command and used all kinds of movements, jabs, elbows, low kicks, high kicks, etc., and Shimazaki Chiyuki was satisfied with what he watched outside. The only fly in the ointment is ...... Kawajin was wearing a lot of iron-like parts, and he couldn't see Kawajin's movements clearly, otherwise it would have been really perfect.

Watching Kawajin make all kinds of movements, she decisively felt that it was great that Kawajin could come here.

Afterwards, Chiyuki Shimazaki quietly asked the staff if he could give her a copy of the model. The staff, of course, refused.

However, this behavior made him see a business opportunity, and after that, he made a suggestion to the people in the planning department above, if Chuan Shenxiang is also sold as something similar to an electronic pet, can it make a lot of money? After all, he is handsome and LV5, so many people, especially girls, must be interested in him. There are also a lot of boys, and they must be eager to kill him, and the result is, for whatever purpose, this game is probably a good seller anyway.

As soon as I thought that Kawagami's model had been done anyway, I thought about it and thought that this was indeed a risk-free project, so I approved it.

After this game,Soon a video pet game with the cultivation of Kawa God Hibiki also came out.,Players feed him.,Train.,Manipulate him to play mini-games, etc.,To make him grow.,You can make it a goal to become a LV6.,You can also fall in love with him as a goal.。

Then,When he didn't know it,,It's become a popular thing in the school city...... It is widely praised among women, and male compatriots give a lot of bad reviews - but after the fact, the investigation showed that there are a lot of men who buy this game, of course, the main way for men to buy this game is not to feed him, not to bathe him, to make him work, and then to get sick and die.

However, these are all later words, so I won't mention them for the time being.
