Chapter 444: Somatosensory Enhancement
At 9 p.m. on February 5, the 86th floor of the Guangsha Building was still brightly lit.
Staying up all night is not uncommon for programmers working in the game industry, Zheng Junyi rubbed his sour eyes, got into the elevator with the latest report of the lifeline, and pressed the button to the 88th floor.
"Come in."
The door was not closed, Zheng Junyi withdrew his hand that knocked on the door, and said as he walked: "We contacted Guoke to re-check the product parameters, and the results showed that there was no problem." ”
"No problem? If there is no problem, why is the experience of the user 15% higher than that of the average player once they choose the Demon Camp option? Zhang Fan's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters.
On the large desk are two computers and one VR glasses. One computer is working, and the other is displaying the interface of the Lifeline Forum. You can see all the complaints in the shells, and the posts complaining about Skyworth have turned gray that have been read.
Zheng Junyi retracted his gaze, turned the report to the last page, and put it in front of Zhang Fan.
"The test results are indeed so. The husk side is actively working on this issue, but the results are not very satisfactory. ”
Zhang Fan picked up the report and saw the test results given by the shell expert at first glance, and then he turned the report back to the first page and read it from the beginning.
Zheng Junyi took the VR glasses on the table and sat on the sofa on the side.
After long pressing the power button on the right side of the glasses, he did not enter the game immediately, but continued to press the power button ten times in a row, and the initial interface of the game suddenly went black, and when it jumped out again, it had become a page for product parameter settings.
Putting on his glasses, Zheng Junyi set his eyes on the somatosensory setting.
Zhang Fan's somatosensory setting of the glasses was adjusted to the highest value by him. In this setting, for example, if the player falls to the ground during the game, the pain he feels is similar to that of falling on a 10cm thick sponge pad in real life.
However, if the player chooses the Demon Camp, the sponge pad will shrink to only 8cm or even thinner, and the pain will increase with the player.
The problem now is that the VR glasses produced by Guoke have not had any glitches, just a change in faction selection, and the player is obviously a little more serious after being injured than in normal mode.
"By the way, these glasses are your own?"
Zheng Junyi didn't remember that Zhang Fan had come down today, it shouldn't have been his glasses there.
"Huh?" Zhang Fan thought about it for a while, and opened the second drawer under the table, where there was still a pair of glasses.
"By the way, these glasses seem to have been forgotten by you at my place on Christmas Eve, and I forgot to tell you."
Zhang Fan glanced at the pair of glasses in Zheng Junyi's hand, and remembered the glasses he seemed to have taken from the first drawer just now, and that pair of glasses should be the one he originally wanted to bring to Zheng Junyi.
"Christmas Eve?" Zheng Junyi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Oh, that policeman." ”
"I remember, didn't he say he'd come and get it after Christmas?" Zheng Junyi took out his mobile phone from his pocket, flipped through the address book, and found Chen Hong's phone number.
"Maybe he has something to delay, I almost forgot about it."
Listening to the busy sound that no one answered in his ears, Zheng Junyi simply hung up the phone, thinking that tomorrow he would ask someone from the technical department to check the usage records of this glasses before sending it to others.
Since Chen Hong didn't come to get his glasses himself, it is very likely that there has been other progress in the matter he wants to investigate, and it is no longer important to him.
Just in the interval between Zheng Junyi's call, Zhang Fan finished reading the report of Guoke Company, and the current technology they have cannot solve this problem, before that, they must find a way to appease the majority of game users.
"In this way, post an official announcement on the official website and forum, listing in detail the advantages and disadvantages of users choosing different camps, and focus on highlighting the attribute advantages of the demon race compared with ordinary human races, especially the explosive equipment."
"I have asked the people in the maintenance team to add the introduction of the demon camp on the game interface, and let them update it on the official website in a while, and Lin Jiangwan is in charge of the forum." Zheng Junyi has obviously thought about it too.
Zhang Fan nodded, "Well, there is also the upgrade issue of Lifeline PC." ”
As the focus of the Lifeline project gradually shifted from PC to VR mobile, the number of registered users of Lifeline PC began to decline day by day after the explosion of users from November to the end of the year.
No matter how well the animation is done, it is limited by the reflection equipment, and it cannot give users the ultimate experience after all, and the birth of the third generation of Guoke means that the market has entered the era of virtual reality.
However, Zhang Fan did not want to give up "Lifeline PC", but set his sights on another field, "Augmented Reality", augmented reality, or AR for short.
Lifeline, the original name of Lifeline PC and Lifeline VR, was originally a text-based adventure game downloaded from your phone or smartwatch. In April 2015, 3 Minute Games, the original company of "Lifeline", topped the paid list of the M country fruit shell system with this game, and in September, after they relaunched the Chinese version of Taylor's story on mobile, they directly won the first place on the paid list.
Perhaps this is also the reason why they simply gave up the plot of the alien Is. 3 Minute Games attaches more importance to the mobile market of its games, and since there is a problem on the PC side, it is better to cut through the mess quickly and sell it to country Z to earn foreign exchange and continue to develop new terminal games.
Because of the agreement signed between Skyworth and 3 Minute Games when he purchased "Lifeline PC", Zhang Fan could not copy the content on "Lifeline PC" to the mobile platform in the mode of text adventure games.
But now "Lifeline VR" is not within the scope of the agreement signed at the beginning, and the plot in the magic world is more original to Skyworth, and Zhang Fan has every reason to enter the mobile market at this time.
"Lao M's gang is really petty, and they still insist on adding this article to the terms until the end of the negotiation."
Zhang Fan opened the scanned file of the agreement on the desktop, obviously having the idea of today, but he did not put his plan into practice for various reasons.
"I'm going to have a meeting with the legal department tomorrow at 9 a.m., and you're coming too. Although I don't think there is a problem in developing IS's AR games, I still need to be a little more cautious, so as not to go back and forth when I get it, wasting time and energy, and it is not good in public opinion. ”
"Okay, are we still working with the husk for this piece?"
Zheng Junyi originally just asked casually, after all, Skyworth held the equity of the fruit shell, and there was no reason for the fertilizer to flow into the fields of outsiders.
Who knew that Zhang Fan really groaned after hearing this, and said: "Not necessarily, in fact, I want to use the technology I got this time to create more relaxed policy conditions for Skyworth in China." ”
