Looking at his appearance, Zhou Heng asked curiously, "Brother Lu, what's wrong?" ”

"Don't call it that." Lu Xianlong hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhou, you finally came back once......

"Okay, okay, what does it have to do with me coming back? Just do what you used to be, don't be angry. Zhou Heng said, "On the contrary, what's wrong with your sad face?" ”

"Today's games on our side have been completed, but they were called back by Mr. Luo to modify ......"

"Do you want to go back to the furnace when you're done?" Zhou Hengqi said, "Is there a bug?" ”

In addition to programming, the main god helped to do the complicated debugging work, which is one of the reasons why Zhou Heng's game company has been able to develop games with such high efficiency. The debugging process is always the most time-consuming part of a game's development process, and after these problems have been solved by the main god, there is theoretically no need to continue to correct the errors manually. So calling back and redoing such a thing, this is the first time Zhou Heng has heard of it.

And Lu Xianlong also realized that Zhou Heng had some misunderstandings, and said:

"It's not a program bug, it's just that I'm not satisfied with the effect, so I hit it back and revise it."

Zhou Heng couldn't help asking: "Not satisfied with the effect?" Which aspect? ”

"I know." Lu Xianlong said depressedly, "That's what Mr. Luo said, and we don't know exactly what went wrong." ”

"What?"

The more Zhou Heng listened, the more confused he became, and Lu Xianlong simply explained the cause and effect of this incident directly to Zhou Heng. It turns out that the company is now well-staffed, and often three projects will start at the same time; Lu Xianlong's group developed a naval combat holographic simulation game. Originally, the three groups of people basically started development at the same time. Lu Xianlong's group started a little earlier. But the games of the last two groups are already on the market. Lu Xianlong's side still didn't have this level of Guò Luo's birth.

Because programming and the like are not a problem, there is often a luxury in the company that makes the finished product first and then makes drastic adjustments, which is not seen in traditional game companies. After making the game, at first Luo Tiansheng will pick some small problems for them to change, but in the case of the basic structure has been completed, this process will generally not be very long, and it can be solved in about two or three days. However, the game that is currently in development has obviously encountered a bit of a lot of problems.

At first, it was a common modification of the number jù, but later it became an endless negation. Just after the last time the finished product was made. The reason why Luo Tiansheng brought the game back was that 'although I don't know what's wrong, the game still lacks a little flavor'. And this is also the reason why Lu Xianlong is depressed - I don't know the reason, so how to change it?

"This ......" Zhou Heng was also a little inexplicable, in his impression, Luo Tiansheng generally would not deliberately make things difficult for others, "It's not right to say anything about the problem at all." ”

"Not because of that. There will be a follow-up meeting tomorrow, and the specific issues will be discussed and resolved at that time. Lu Xianlong frowned, picked up the goblet, thought about it and put it down, "But I'm still a little worried—we also feel that the game is lacking." But the workaround never found ......"

"What's the inadequacy?"

"I don't know." Lu Xianlong was a little depressed, "Although I don't know what the problem is." But there is always a little less feeling, just like what Mr. Luo said. Everyone feels this, but they still can't solve it......"

As Luo Tiansheng said, in fact, most developers themselves vaguely feel the problem. I clearly don't know what's wrong.,But I always feel that there's something wrong with the game - this kind of defect is limited by technology.、Manpower、Time.,It's not very serious in general game companies.,But Luo Tiansheng's pursuit of perfection is obviously more demanding than others.,That's why I will go back and modify this game repeatedly.。

Listening to his description, Zhou Heng became a little curious.

"Then I'll take a look," Zhou Heng said, "what does the game look like?" ”

"I don't have a virtual helmet at hand, or I ...... it"

"Let's go check it out now."

Saying this, Zhou Heng also became interested; In this issue of the game, the tables of "Square World" and "Havoc in Heaven" are very good, although Zhou Heng has not played it, but looking at the overwhelming praise in the media, you can understand how strict Luo Tiansheng's requirements are. Strict requirements are of course a good thing, but sometimes, even Luo Tiansheng himself can't see where there is a problem and redoes the game that has been done back, and even Zhou Heng is a little skeptical about what kind of defect will lead to this kind of result.

The banquet continued, and Lu Xianlong asked his men to get a virtual helmet from the car; Gu Xiao and Tao Fei had a good conversation, Zhou Heng said to her, and said goodbye to Luo Shengtian and others, and then several people came to a conference room next to them and started the game. Because most of the employees and leadership are young people, the rules in the company are not very strict; Hearing that the program was to be debugged, the big boss of the company personally watched it, and several people in Lu Xianlong's group followed.

Set up your virtual headset and the game will begin. This is a naval combat game based on World War II, where the player will take the captain of a warship and sail between the oceans. The game itself is not bad, and the graphics and game experience are particularly realistic; It's just that the operation mode is a little bit difficult to get started.

This specific genre of games aimed at military enthusiasts obviously doesn't need to be considered too much about popularity. Having said that, after trying out the basic mode of the game, Zhou Heng still found some problems.

"I think it's okay, but it's too short to feel it." Zhou Heng said, "The only feeling is that the content of the game seems to be a bit monotonous, and players may feel a bit monotonous. ”

"There's a tutorial in the upper right corner," a planner next to him reminded, "and all the tutorials on combat are ......"

"It's not this either, I've already seen the tutorial." Zhou Heng touched his chin, "I mean, the game is a bit unengaging and anticipatory - for most players, it doesn't seem like there's enough motivation to stick around and get familiar with this complex way of operating. Aside from the players who are particularly interested in the genre, it is possible that others will lose interest quickly. ”

Lu Xianlong nodded: "That's okay." In this version, there are only basic modules of the game. The plot and flow have not yet been added. This kind of problem should be solved by then. ”

Zhou Heng was originally half a layman, although he had been exposed to a lot of basic knowledge of games during this time, since Lu Xianlong said so, Zhou Heng didn't say anything more. At this moment, the door opened, but Luo Tiansheng walked in.

"I heard that Mr. Zhou is trying a new game, how is it?"

"It's okay......"

Zhou Heng responded and told Luo Tiansheng his opinion. Luo Tiansheng nodded and thought about it. said: "My feeling is the same, this game does have some gameplay shortcomings. ”

"Didn't you say you were going to add it to the plot? It would be fun to combine the game's controls with the story, right? ”

There will be no problems with the quality of the game itself, although the operation is a little troublesome, but whether it is the violent shock of the artillery fire or the shouting of the sailors on the first class, it is enough to add color to the game. Although it seems a bit boring to stay in the command room and stare at the radar in a daze, it seems that it is acceptable if you add some other aspects of interaction.

"This is definitely not going to work," Luo Tiansheng said immediately, "the plot is just something that adds color to the game system. In the future, the game will also add features such as online battles, if the combat system itself is too frivolous. It will definitely have some negative impact on the overall quality of the game. ”

Zhou Heng shrugged: "Then just modify the game mode, right?" Simplify the controls and add some new gameplay elements, it should be even more fun. ”

"No," Luo Tiansheng shook his head and said, "This game, our design is based on being as realistic as possible; If it is modified, it may affect the realism of the game to a certain extent......"

After listening to her words, Zhou Heng understood why this game was revised again and again.

As a war game, the compromise between the game system and the way it operates is obviously the most important issue; However, no matter how it changes, the setting of this game has some strange feelings -

or it is too rigid and complex, so that the operation of the system is complicated and grows geometrically; Or it's too rigid and simplistic, leaving the player with nothing to do during the battle. After all, the process of naval battles often requires a lot of time to prepare and control, and due to game limitations, players can only stay on the conning tower; You can feel the scenery of the Atlantic Ocean and the tension of the battle, but if you go down to the deck, it will increase the amount of computation in the game. So the game is not interesting enough, which is the biggest problem now. However, Luo Tiansheng has always insisted that the player's identity be limited to the 'captain', and there are naturally not many options left.

After understanding the problem, Luo Tiansheng also asked, "Mr. Zhou, do you have any opinions?" ”

In any case, this seems to be a very tricky problem, and Zhou Heng naturally has nothing to do, but a few developers began to discuss the problem of the number of games. The celebration banquet continued, and Luo Tiansheng asked everyone to go back and talk again; But hearing her say this, Zhou Heng's heart suddenly moved, "I have a way." ”

"What's the solution?"

"If you're going to make the game as realistic as possible, I think you should try something new—"

Luo Tiansheng was a little curious: "What is it?" ”

There were many people around, and Zhou Heng didn't say it directly, but sold a pass: "Let's go back first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

After the celebration banquet, the matter was put aside; Zhou Heng still had something to do that night, and Luo Tiansheng and Lu Xianlong also had other entertainment, so it passed. The next day, Zhou Heng came to the company and re-understood the game plan of this problem; And the thought in my heart is getting clearer and clearer.

After the meeting, Zhou Heng took Luo Tiansheng to the department store above the base. After entering the dedicated elevator, I entered the instructions for the fifth basement floor. As the elevator slowly descended, Luo Tiansheng asked curiously:

"Where is this?"

"Institute." Zhou Heng said, "The thing I told you yesterday is here. ”

The elevator door opened, and a corridor full of high-tech appeared in front of him, Zhou Heng stepped forward, and Luo Tiansheng hurriedly followed. It's a very deliberate underground building, and although it is located below a department store, it doesn't look like a warehouse or parking lot at all. The surrounding lighting and ventilation facilities are perfect. It looks like a functionally sound underground structure; But the room in the hallway was surprisingly empty. Only traces of heavy lifting and discarded bits and pieces can be seen on the ground—it seems to have been emptied not long ago.

Take a turn. They came to a large room, where there was nothing else in it, only a large purple disc fixed to the center of the room. A man and a woman waited near the disc, dressed differently, each standing next to the disc with a box of goods; Seeing Zhou Heng coming over, he saluted respectfully. The two men were obviously not ordinary people either - the man was holding a cane and dressed in a white robe; The woman was wearing a high-tech silver-gray armor and carrying a large gun behind her back.

Watching these strange things all the time. Luo Tiansheng was also a little curious, "This is ......"

"Of course it's moving. Recently, this real yàn room has been abandoned, and the transfer of instruments is underway, but this is the reason why you are here. Zhou Heng said, pointing to the purple disc in front of him, "This is the Spatial Transformation Instrument." ”

The purple disc was more than a man tall, and shimmered with layers of ripples, and its texture was completely discernible under the strange sheen; This is something that Luo Tiansheng has never seen - Luo Tiansheng has always known that Zhou Heng has been engaged in some mysterious things, but it has nothing to do with him, so Luo Tiansheng has not explored these things before. Now Zhou Heng brought her here. Luo Tiansheng was slightly surprised.

"Hmm...... And then what? ”

"And then you don't want to make more realistic games? I can send you to experience it. ”

Zhou Heng said, fiddling a few times in front of the disc. beckoned the two people next to him, "Take care of Miss Luo and listen to her instructions", and then he couldn't help but put Luo Tiansheng into the disc. Luo Tiansheng was confused and asked, "Where is this going?" ”

"Of course, I'll see the naval battle, and you'll know when you go." Zhou Heng said, "Aren't you going to make a completely realistic game? Let's first look at what the real naval battle was all about. ”

Before Zhou Heng's words fell, the light curtain had already passed directly through his body; There was a sudden emptiness in front of him, and Luo Tiansheng was taken aback. The sky above turned a leaden blue, and the waves below stretched to the skyline, with no end in sight. A salty sea breeze blew, and my hair, which had just been groomed in the morning, was blown into a mess. Thanks to the two weirdos next to him grabbing his arm, Luo Tiansheng didn't fall; But even so, it was not dragged, but directly lost the falling gravity to float in mid-air.

"Is it okay to call you Miss Luo?" The strange woman next to her looked at a strange-looking mobile phone in her hand and said, "You must have come here because you want to experience the battleship battles during World War II." This is the Mediterranean Sea in 1941, and we will take you on a guided tour of a naval battle that took place in the vicinity. ”

"1941?!" Luo Tiansheng was startled, and sure enough, a hazy black shadow of a battleship appeared in the distance. Huge figures, steep bridges, billowing black smoke from chimneys; It turns out that Zhou Heng said that this is the place where he can experience real naval battles first-hand? Thinking of this, Luo Tiansheng couldn't help but be a little surprised; Zhou Heng said that he wanted to take her to 'experience it for himself', but he actually went back to the past directly and directly observed a naval battle.

After seeing the target, the two strange people around him turned around and were about to fly over; Luo Tiansheng couldn't help asking, "Won't there be danger?" ”

"As long as we don't get hit head-on by the main gun, it's fine, and we can be stealthy and won't be detected by ordinary crews."

Not far away, the battleships had already begun to exchange fire with the enemy, and the smoke and flames filled the entire sea area, which looked hideous and terrifying from a distance. And Luo Tiansheng realized what kind of opportunity was in front of him, and after thinking about it, Luo Tiansheng asked the two people next to him - "Can I take pictures?" ”

"Of course, as long as you don't get it out."

After receiving the promise, Luo Tiansheng casually tied up his wind-blown hair, and took out his mobile phone to record this special experience. In the base, after Zhou Heng sent Luo Tiansheng over, he also went to the new base, the space rift known as the 'main god space', to inspect around.

After a day's work, the moving work is almost over. There are no weather changes in the main god space, so all kinds of instruments and related items are placed in the open air and placed on the ground; In addition, these capable cultists even found a few other main god spaces as auxiliary areas - it was not difficult to find such places anyway, and the more places they found could be used for training, accommodation, and some large-scale practical space needs.

"This morning, because the NSA people were negotiating, they still didn't agree to our layoff plan."

Seeing Zhou Heng, Feng Yixin immediately reported the latest progress. The base is in full swing, and Feng Yixin is also busy with some other things - the first problem is the problem of reducing the number of combatants. Sending some superpowers with combat abilities to a world with appropriate rules, and centralizing some otherworldly props can effectively avoid the waste of energy caused by the use of superpowers. In wartime, Zhou Heng didn't need to think about these issues, but now the war is over; If you continue to use the rules to protect the daily combat and consumption of these superpowers, the amount of magic that will be wasted in the long run will reach a very staggering number. (To be continued......)
