Chapter 194: Meeting
Of course, these are just Li Hong's assumptions. In the future, the virtual world may develop to such an extent, but more often than not, their virtual world may not be so perfect.
Although the drawing of the main god has given the method of making the virtual helmet, filling it with content will be the biggest problem Li Hong and they face.
It's like drawing on a drawing, and the drawing of the Lord God is like giving them a paintbrush and a blank piece of paper. And what Li Hong and they have to do is to draw what they want on this blank piece of paper.
It will be a long and tedious process. Populating the structure of a virtual world is never easier than developing a computer system. To put it bluntly, the difficulty will be beyond anyone's imagination.
Therefore, Li Hong did not ask these designers to improve the structure of the entire virtual world in one step, but asked them to fill the entire virtual world step by step.
First of all, their breakthrough point is still positioned in the whole game, and if they start to involve other things now, it is impossible for them to do it with their current development strength.
If you want to develop an entire virtual world, I'm afraid you have to work together with Microsoft designers and Google engineers. It's impossible for Riot to be a group of otaku who can only design games.
"Boss, we already know what you said, so what should we do now?" Tiamat asked curiously.
"First of all, let's move the game project we set up before to the platform of this virtual world, and the rest of the things will come slowly." Li Hong groaned.
"PUBG?" Mark said in surprise.
In their internal sequence, PUBG is the next project to be developed. Listening to Li Hong's meaning, does it mean that they want to carry the game of PUBG to the entire virtual world?
"There's nothing wrong with that, the PUBG map is just on a deserted island after all. For us, the process was very simple. It's just that a single PUBG game project will make the entire virtual world boring? Tiamat asked.
Since the virtual world is named in the name of the world, from another point of view, this will be the second living world of human beings.
Filling the project with only PUBG will make the whole virtual world seem boring?
Of course, Li Hong knew what these people were worried about, but in fact, he also knew that the project of launching the virtual world now would be very urgent. But there is such an opportunity to change the world, so why not seize it?
The emergence of the virtual world will be a process of industry reshuffle, and if they can't seize this opportunity, they will fall behind in the coming era. This is unacceptable to Li Hong.
"It doesn't matter, as long as the manufacturing of hardware equipment is still in our hands, then even if it is boring, customers will not have any opinions. After all, this is an epoch-making thing, not a smart device in the traditional sense. Li Hong said with a smile.
This is like when the first generation of iPhone was born, the software carried on it was very rare, but it was still sought after by the public. Their current virtual headset, although it only carries a game, is believed to be treated the same due to its epoch-making characteristics.
Li Hong is convinced of this.
"PUBG, now that it's going to be moved into a virtual helmet, all the gameplay and balance have to be redesigned. Do you have any thoughts on this? ”
Mark scratched his head and said, "Boss PUBG is a project with excellent stability and balance. Even if you move to a non-PC platform, you won't have any problems, right? ”
"I thought I could change some of the settings into something simpler. For example, in terms of design, we can add methods such as gyroscopes and aim assist to increase the thrill of the game. Tiamat said.
Li Hong nodded and agreed with Tiamat's proposal.
"The map has to be big, and for the PC platform, the PUBG map is already a bit small. If you want to move it into the virtual world, the size of the map will be the difference between success and failure. My requirements are always one, and that is big! Big enough to accommodate so many players! ”
"Do you want to adjust the total number of players in that game?" I think in a virtual platform, will a hundred people seem too little? Mark asked.
The game mode of PUBG is based on the original version of the Obscus World. Roughly 100 players compete on a plane on a deserted island to determine a winner.
On PC, it's probably easier to get a hundred players, but a little more might affect the gameplay. But since this game is going to be transported to the virtual world, the number of players can no longer be set at 100.
The more people, the more fun, that's the truth in the gaming world.
"It's up to you, you can do whatever you like, anyway, my request has already been given, you just need to make what I want before Penguin buys Fist." Li Hong nodded and said.
After saying his request, Li Hong ended the meeting without nutrition.
The reason why this meeting was held was to inform the designers of the whole head of the next work, and now that they have been told about the virtual helmet, Li Hong naturally doesn't have to worry so much.
Walking out of the conference room, Li Hong asked Mark beside him, "What did the Penguin Group say?" Has the man they sent already arrived? ”
"No, not yet. Judging from their formation, they will come to our fist in about two days to conduct asset review and project evaluation work. ”
"Well, that's fine, you'll be able to entertain them then. You don't need me to teach you how to do it, right? ”
"I understand the boss! I can assure you that this acquisition will come to fruition. Mark patted his chest and reassured.
Li Hong can't afford to ignore this acquisition, after all, it is a big project involving $1 billion. Even among those Internet giants, any project involving $1 billion will attract attention.
Now after bringing it, I am counting on this money to recruit troops and buy horses. This money is really necessary to complete the whole project.
Fortunately, Xiao Ma has already agreed to the acquisition offer, and as long as the Penguin Group's auditors have evaluated the assets, the two parties can sign a transfer contract.
