0125 Production of the beta version of "The Legend of Yinying".
On the second day after returning to school, Chu Fang brought the OCU Lu S~Day FT~DK2, which had been used a little worn-out on the winter I, back to the dormitory......
His three roommates, of course, had a good chance of being close to the water, and when they had had enough of the virtual reality feeling, they gave up their glasses to the other dormitories, and stipulated that each dormitory could be used for a maximum of 24 hours, and the specific order of use was left to everyone to negotiate.
Because this year's Spring Festival is relatively late, the fifteenth day of the first month will be after March, and the start of this semester has also been postponed by more than a week because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the time of the winter vacation has naturally been delayed, which has eased everyone's competition for virtual reality glasses a lot.
In fact, only a few people are enthusiastic about the virtual world full of jagged teeth, and most people just want to try it, maybe four people in a dormitory can experience it for more than ten minutes, so the degree of virtual reality glasses circulating between bedrooms is faster than Chu Fang estimated.
However, Chu Fang didn't care about it after throwing the virtual reality glasses to this group of classmates, during the final exam, he spent part of his time reviewing the key points of the exam with his "girlfriend" Ai Meng in the library every day, and he has been busy with both games and game companies.
At the very least, Chu Fang had to outsource a lot of modeling work for the official version of the game, otherwise the work of the few program masters he secretly hid would be too shocking.
And just when Chu Fang needed money to outsource the business, Li Bin and the 20 million capital injection worth 15% of the shares of the related households he brought in was also in place, and the friends found by Chu Fang's father-in-law Ning Decheng also tentatively injected 10 million yuan and took away 1o% of the shares. And said that after seeing the official version, he could continue to inject 10 million to obtain 5% of the shares.
Relying on the 30 million funds on hand, Chu Fang began to outsource business across the country. Mapping maps, ships, NPCs, etc., was subcontracted to dozens of companies, requiring them to complete the task within a month.
As for the software company that Ning Ning secretly ran by herself. Now it has become a grassroots business company with "unlimited illusions", and the dozen or so programmers in the company are responsible for supervising and auditing the progress of dozens of outsourcing companies every day, and occasionally writing some ordinary programs according to the requirements of the "Big Three" who do not know where they are.
The "Big Three" in a cramped rental house next to the Normal University are responsible for the real core work - among them, Black Cat is responsible for the final review of the modeling project, and she will also make some key modeling herself; Yuki is responsible for setting up the specific AI for the NPC and continuing to write the core program; Hatsune has to remotely direct three or four of his men to handle all the sound effects in the game.
Of course, Chu Fang also has his own job, which is to be responsible for game design.
Among them, the selection of campaigns and map design, Master Yoshiki Tanaka has basically done it for him, and all Chu Fang needs to do is to make out the famous battles and map scenes that Master Tanaka hopes to appear in the game.
And the design and balance aspects of the game's values. Chu Fang only needs to put forward concepts and requirements, and then hand them over to Youxi and Black Cat to set them up.
What he needs to pay attention to personally is actually the specific gameplay of the game and the interaction between players and NPCs, among which the gameplay of the game has been determined in the demo version, only the interaction between players and NPCs needs to be set by Chu Fang little by little, and the setting in this regard is not only to design side quests, but also to set the elements of each npnetpc's action mode.
The AI program written by Yuki is not really a science fiction thing, it was originally just a psychological research, based on the science of psychology that specializes in studying and calculating human behavior. The chicken rib program that calculates the human reaction in various situations is not a real artificial intelligence program, but when the graduate student turned his brain and sold the chicken rib program to a game company. He became a billionaire with this program.
All subjective behaviors of human beings actually have objective laws, which is why the science of psychology appears. And even people who have not studied psychology know that human behavior is logical - for example, a person will cry when he is sad. Cry when you're happy, cry when you're in pain; Perhaps some people are psychologically sensitive. Because the slightest fluctuation of love will cry, but even such a person will definitely not cry for no reason.
Therefore, the act of crying can correspond to sadness, joy, pain, and many other similar conditional elements; Sensitivity and sluggishness are another type of conditional elements, which can expand or narrow the scope of the first type of conditional elements. There are also conditional elements that can lead to sadness, happiness, and pain...... When several conditional elements are calculated layer by layer, one or several definite results can be obtained.
In the case of a player suddenly yelling around the player, the AI will judge the significance of the behavior based on various key parameters of the behavior (distance from nearby NPCs, orientation, volume, language meaning), and search data (assuming that the result is judged to be the player's action of scaring the npnetpnetpc (screaming, crying, running away, decreased favorability, refusing to communicate with the player, calling for help, calling the police).
In the simplest AI program, as long as the two types of number jù libraries of personality influence and environmental impact are established, and the intersections are taken in the calculation results, the AI response can be close to the real human response, and the more and more complete number jù library categories are established, the more accurate and real the AI's response will be.
In fact, this is how real humans calculate their response to an external stimulus, and the biggest difficulty of this AI program is actually the accuracy and perfection of the number library, and the second major difficulty is the search time, the degree of computation, and the occupation of computing resources.
If the number jù library is not good, then the "correct response" is naturally impossible to talk about, and Youxi has already built a large and complete number jù library through the summary and induction of existing psychological data, even if there is a problem with the accuracy, it is the psychologist's fault, and it has nothing to do with Youxi.
And the communication between the player and the computer, if the computer can't make the time to draw conclusions from the human brain, it is meaningless, even the natural stupid control will definitely not be able to tolerate all NPCs are slow to respond half a beat of the natural stupid.
However, all the physical changes in the virtual world and the calculation of NPC actions must be completed by the computer, if it is an online game that can rely on the computer network to share the amount of calculation, it is good to say, but in a stand-alone game that only relies on an ordinary computer to calculate, if the pressure of calculating the actions of hundreds or thousands, or even tens of billions of NPCs in the same scene is too great, the computer will naturally not be able to complete other computing tasks in time, and there will be a natural stay or even "stuck" situation.
In order to avoid "jamming", on the one hand, it is necessary to improve the level of computer hardware and speed up the computing degree of the computer - this is what hardware manufacturers need to do; On the other hand, it is necessary to improve the efficiency of the execution of the procedure and calculate the result with the fewest steps - this is what needs to be done; But in addition, it may be necessary to give up the computing content that does not affect the game or has little impact on the game, and limit the size of the scene and the number of NPCs - this is what Chu Fang needs to do.
Even though Chu Fang relied on the help of Youxi and Black Cat to quickly determine whether his idea could be implemented in the game, or what unnecessary calculations should be cut out to be implemented in the game, he also spent a lot of time and energy on the design.
In fact, if Chu Fang finds a professional game designer to do this part of the content, he will definitely be able to do it faster and better, but in this way, some core secrets of the game are in danger of being exposed, so he has to learn to do this part of the work by himself even if he catches the ducks on the shelves.
Fortunately, the only thing Chu Fang needs to complete independently is the creative part, and the specific parameter design and balance can help both Youxi and Black Cat.
As for this part of the game's plot, because the whole game is composed of campaign scripts, the player's victory or defeat in each battle will not affect the entire main plot, and the game script writer only needs to write the script according to the original work of "Legend of the Galactic Heroes", and at most add a few different endings.
Chu Fang can complete this work by himself, or as a young man, he wants to complete it by himself, but the endings of the games that are different from the original work were finally finalized after the modification of Master Yoshiki Tanaka, after all, he can't change the ending to make the original author unhappy.
In addition, the side quests and hidden quests designed based on the plot backbone of each campaign also have the opinions of Master Tanaka, but these tasks are meaningless for the game itself of "The Legend of Yinying", and only when "The Legend of Yinying" becomes a task world in Chu Fang's "infinite stream" game, these tasks that can get rewards from the "main god" will be opened.
In the game of "The Legend of Yinying", the rewards are useless to the player, the player does not need the reward to accumulate meritorious promotions and open a more advanced warship, they can freely choose the role they play in the campaign, whether it is to replace Yang Willy and Reinhardt to command the whole army, or to act as low-level cannon fodder to charge into battle.
Essentially, Chu Fang's zuò is a real-time war game, which does not emphasize micro-operations like real-time strategy games, and emphasizes the role of tactical command in addition to the strategic level of wargame deduction games, which can be played not only as a game, but also for virtual confrontation training of the army.
