Chapter 157: Technical Compromise

In holographic games, the player's behavior will not be limited to the direction and action buttons; You can kick away small rocks on the side of the road, and you can look left and right to observe the surroundings; The greatly increased degree of freedom also means that the number of calculations in the game is several times more out of thin air. Saving computing resources has become a very important issue. The 'Second World' was forced to adapt to the virtual helmet at the expense of some game effects, which is why Zhou Hengjian yƬ Luo Tiansheng gave up on this game platform for the time being.

However, Luo Tiansheng's opinion is another direction to solve the problem - the problem of technological disconnection can be considered slowly in the future, but as a game producer, the very game company can make use of its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, and make better games under certain existing technical conditions.

There are two versions of "Dragons", and since the release of "Dragons 2", a large part of the gamer's popularity has been attracted by "Dragons 2" - taking a broken gun and sudden, obviously can't be more fun than driving a giant warplane to cross the world. However, what Luo Tiansheng wants to do is the first version of "Dragon Group"-

Just a gunplay game in an enclosed space, fully armed players can omit the calculation details of expressions and some subtle movements, and the uncomplicated game mode can avoid the game load brought by scene maps and skill effects. Even if the technical conditions that have been proven in the 'second world' are obviously sufficient for the battle. In contrast, the immersive atmosphere of modern warfare allows players to experience a more realistic game effect.

And "Golden Note" is actually the same. "Golden Notes" mainly simulates the performance of some musical instruments, with some elements related to growth; Not only can most players experience the process of an unknown musician becoming a world-renowned performer step by step, but also allow some interested players to learn to play an instrument through virtual reality. There will be some large scenes in the game. For example, from the beginning of the open-air performance. to the Grand Opera Concert later in the game. Players can also see very grand scenes. However, these scenes do not allow direct interaction with the player, and the actual amount of processing is not very large.

"How's that, is it possible?"

"Okay......" Zhou Heng thought for a while, "But the sound simulation in the design book is like this, and it should be very troublesome to prepare the sound library." ā€

"It's a hassle, but I'll figure it out." Luo Tiansheng said, handing Zhou Heng a piece of information, "This is some alternative game design solutions that are still in doubt. Senior brother, take a look. ā€

Zhou Heng looked at the game planning and said casually: "You just need to design it, and I will take care of the program." ā€

"These are just preliminary plans, in fact, we have a lot of ideas now, and the main problem is to confirm with you, senior brother, which idea works best on the virtual helmet."

Zhou Heng didn't react for a while: "But ......"

Luo Tiansheng blinked: "Isn't it normal to maintain communication between planning, art and program?" ā€

Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Indeed, I am used to using the golden finger, and I have even forgotten the normal process of developing the game." ā€

A game development process. It is inevitable that there will be compromises between programming, art, and planning. In the past, Zhou Heng relied on his golden fingers, and basically did not need to restrict the play of art and planning; Even if there are some features that are not achievable. Zhou Heng can also think of some ways to solve these problems on his own. Nowadays, however, there are more things to consider when making a game in a virtual reality game - and if you continue with the simple model of 'take the material, make the game, and produce the finished product', there will be some problems.

The success of Second World, in addition to its advantages as the first virtual reality game series, is inseparable from the excellent performance of the script, planning and art. But in fact, Zhou Heng could have done a better job - instead of leaving all the problems to the main god, it is better to take out the detailed requirements of the existing technical conditions, and let the planners make a game that is not so top-notch on the basis of the existing conditions. Dancing in shackles is a necessary skill for every planner, and Zhou Heng used to scoff at these things, believing that these factors would affect the quality of the game; But in today's virtual reality technology, these things have obviously become a problem that has to be considered.

The perfect game requires mature technology to achieve. Just as PC games can't be ported directly to mobile phones, the production process of virtual reality games can't be sold with a somatosensory system. And if you want to make an excellent game on such a completely unfamiliar game platform, Luo Tiansheng not only needs to explore by himself, but also accepts the technical feedback of Zhou Heng, a 'programmer', which is also very important.

These things are all very simple truths; However, Zhou Heng was fascinated by the authorities, and it was not until Luo Tiansheng took the initiative to propose that he reacted.

After a while, Zhou Heng probably skimmed through the plan, crossed out a few less important functional proposals that took up a lot of computing resources, and then returned the plan to Luo Tiansheng.

"And what's next?"

"I'm going to go and ask some professionals to guide me in my work. In terms of music, there are also military ......," Luo Tiansheng retracted the information and pondered, "The development process of these two games may be relatively long, and we need to do a lot of preliminary work in order to maximize the characteristics of virtual games. Of course, you may still trouble your brother many times. ā€

"It's okay, you see it's done."

Luo Tiansheng nodded and stood up: "Speaking of which, senior brother, what is the matter with you coming to the company, right?" You don't just come to inspect the work, do you? ā€

"It's really something." Zhou Heng said, "Do you remember, the guy I got to another world last time." ā€

"Remember, it seems that you got him to his former partner, right?"

"That's right, but his buddies don't know him there." Zhou Heng said, "Now that the fall of time and space has been taken away, he has been forced to work in the store to pay back the money. That guy hasn't figured out anything until now......"

"Isn't that good?" Luo Tiansheng said, "Last time, you said that you want him to adapt to the life of the other world for a period of time. ā€

"Good is good." Zhou Heng said. "But keep going like this. is about to become a youth love drama. ā€

"You mean ......"

"The plot is moving too slowly!" Zhou Heng said, "You help me think of a way, how to use a method that they can't realize, so that guy can quickly start doing business?" ā€

As soon as Zhou Heng said this, Luo Tiansheng understood what was going on. After thinking about it, he asked other questions: "Senior brother, what is the version number of your world?" ā€

"Version number?" Zhou Heng thought for a while, "That's it...... Not long ago, I weakened the warrior's sword energy. However, at the end of last month, the addition of new multiplayer dungeons and online rewards was not synchronized. ā€

"That's fine. Brother, you should remember the new 'Blue Bird' added in the update in early April, right? ā€

"Remember...... It's the kind of monster that randomly appears when chatting with other players in the city, right? ā€

"That's right. Brother, you can take advantage of the characteristics of this monster......"

―――――

It has been several days since he came to the other world, and Hu Yu has adapted to life in the other world. Working every day and trying to get in touch with magic, at first I thought about escaping or other ways, but after getting acquainted with it, I gradually settled down. Although I miss my family and friends in the past, I don't have a clue about going back after all; On the contrary, it is against a beautiful girl every day, even if the days are a little hard, it seems to be acceptable.

What's more, Arya actually treats him well.

In this world, magic is a very common attribute of power. Basically, everyone has one or two brushes; Not to mention the nobles and soldiers, the fruit sellers will also use some life magic to keep the fruit fresh; Even if it's running to the countryside. I don't know how to simulate rain and loosening soil with magic with a few hands, and I'm embarrassed to go out to farm. But even so, what you get from cultivating magic power is the means to kill people after all. For people who regard the combat profession as their main business, but do not belong to the kingdom establishment, ordinary people are somewhat repulsed.

And Arya is such a person - she is obsessed with the study of magic, although she runs a small family shop, but she has always made 'magician' her main business, so the rest of the neighborhood is somewhat unfamiliar with her, and Arya's unkind way of dealing with people makes her seem very unsociable in this small town, and since the apprentice girl she hired left last year, she can't even hire a shopkeeper - But not everyone wants to spend all day with someone who makes a career out of fighting, killing, and killing.

At the beginning, Hu Yu was also a little tired of Ariya's way of doing things. picked up the staff and dangled it at every turn, and he looked fierce, and every time he talked to her, he had to be terrified for a long time. However, after a few days, Hu Yu also discovered the cute side of Arya (in addition to her appearance).

The food culture of the people of the other world is obviously not very developed, and the dark cuisine made by Arya is especially scary. After a few days of eating cold bread and dry barbecue coated with candied fruit and cream, Hu Yu felt that if he continued like this, he would die. His former partner Aria is the first character in the server to have a culinary level MAX, but this Arya obviously didn't inherit that talent.

In order to solve this kind of problem, Hu Yu cooked a meal by himself, and then Arya handed over all the cooking work to Hu Yu.

"Seeing that you love to cook so much, then I'll leave it to you." Arya said unquestioningly, adding, "It's not because you're so good, it's just because I've been busy practicing magic lately - I'm going to have that kind of pastry tonight." ā€

As if he saw a prompt tone of +1 favorability, this expression made Hu Yu feel refreshed; In the afternoon of the same day, Arya took the initiative to find him again:

"Recently, Lord Murray, the Magister of Wangcheng, is coming here, so come with me to meet him once."

"Do what?"

"You're from another world, aren't you?" Arya asked, "Mistress Murray may know a way to get you back." ā€

"Huh? Let me go back? ā€

"Do you want to go?"

"I want to go, I want to go!"

Hu Yu hurriedly nodded in agreement. Not long ago, Arya wanted him to work for three years, but now he took the initiative to help him find a way to get back-Thinking of this, Hu Yu's heart warmed, and Arya also urged: "If you want to go, hurry up, it is said that Lord Murray is now in the Mage Guild." ā€

At the urging of Aria, Hu Yu hurriedly put on his coat and followed Alya out. Thinking about these things along the way, Hu Yu was a little distracted; However, halfway down the road, there was a sudden commotion among the pedestrians around. (To be continued......)
