Chapter 295: About Playing the Game in the Game

For a long time, the supervision and content inspection of Tianba Studio's games have relied heavily on AI judgment and investigation.

For example, plug-in boosting and scripts.

These are not manual inspections, they are all found and dealt with by AI, if you really want to manually inspect, how much manpower will you have to invest?

Hot Knowledge!

This is also the case with most of the mainstream online games on the market, such as League of Legends, CrossFire, PUBG, and Naraka: Bladepoint.

No way, save costs!

Make a database, as long as the database has an abnormal situation of backup, this intelligent inspection system can handle the account blocking, unsealing and other matters by itself, without manual intervention at all.

Let's talk about a relatively unpopular knowledge......

The customer service of those game companies, that is, the "customer service" that specializes in receiving feedback from players, is also largely served by AI, and it is unlikely to be a real person.

Don't ask why, ask is that Tianba Studio is like this, Chen Ba doesn't believe that other game companies will be an exception.

This is actually a change that has only appeared in recent years, in the early years, that is, when the artificial intelligence industry has not yet developed and is not so strong in computing power, manual customer service and manual inspection do exist.

Players who have played online games in the past few years know that the customer service (GM) at that time was definitely a real person, and you had to charge enough money to even chat with you.

Chen Ba used to meet a buddy in an Internet café, played a domestic online game, and finally got a customer service sister, and the two got married.

It can only be said that in those days, manual service was a very common thing.

But since the development of the artificial intelligence industry, these human jobs have been gradually replaced by AI. Especially in the gaming industry, which likes to chase trendy technology, it is a pioneer in this regard!

But it also poses a problem.

The widespread use of AI technology to reduce the cost of labor wages has saved money and increased work efficiency, but AI cannot completely replace labor.

For example, in games like "Love Staff", the AI will misjudge or fail to judge the player's behavior in many cases.

Therefore, it is necessary to introduce "human inspectors" to assist.

This will add an extra expense to Tianba Studio, which is logically unnecessary, but considering the particularity of the game "Love Staff", Chen Ba doesn't mind spending a little more.

The main thing is that Xiao Liu is too miserable......

The listener is sad, the listener is in tears, Xiao Liu's tragedy made Chen Ba understand that on this kind of platform involving "marriage and dating", manual inspection and supervision are necessary positions.

AI really can't do it, after all, AI can't see through the disguise of some scumbags and scumbags, and even AI can't understand what a scumbag and scumbag are.

"To put it bluntly, the current artificial intelligence is still in a relatively rudimentary stage, and it is okay to do some work that does not require the use of the brain, and the brain will become mentally retarded."

After sighing with emotion, Chen Ba said thoughtfully: "I originally thought about adding an AI intelligent module to the NPCs of "The True Story of Aba", but now I think about it, forget it." ”

"Don't!"

"I admit that the existing AI is mentally retarded, but if an NPC is not blessed by AI, it is not even mentally retarded ......"

Xiao Lu was puzzled by this.

In his opinion, whether it is "The True Story of Abba or other games", the intelligence of NPCs will undoubtedly greatly enhance the immersion and sense of substitution of players.

If you don't do the intelligence of NPCs, each NPC only has a fixed set of behavioral logic, which is not very interesting.

"I see what you mean, but have you ever thought that if you give these NPCs too much freedom and intelligence, they'll run around?"

"And...... The lessons learned from Grace Continent have proven that NPCs are too intelligent and can quietly change the nature of the game. ”

Chen Ba shook his head and said, "Forget about other games, but this is "The True Story of Aba", and this can't happen." ”

"The True Story of Aba" is more serious in nature and has a special theme, so Chen Ba has a more conservative attitude and doesn't want to give too much intelligence to NPCs.

The main thing is not to give players room to "live"!

After suffering so many losses, Chen Ba has summed up a rule: if you want the game to be normal, you have to focus on the places where players can live.

As long as the players can't live all the time, and can only go through the plot and go through the task process, then this game is absolutely stable like an old dog, and there will be nothing at all.

What?

Will the whole game increase sales, does the benefits outweigh the disadvantages?

Truly! In terms of other games, the advantages do outweigh the disadvantages, and Chen Ba is also happy to see the players live.

But this is "The True Story of Aba", a game that doesn't care about sales, and the goal is to win prizes and gain fame, and the whole life will definitely do more harm than good.

"So what else is open world?"

Xiao Lu muttered: "I can't figure out what the meaning of the existence of this open world is, is it just to reflect that the map is very large?" ”

"You misunderstood!"

Chen Ba frowned and explained: "What I limit is only the space for players to live, and in terms of gameplay, players are still very free. ”

In other words.

Chen Ba just put an end to the possibility of players jumping out of the game frame and showing off their brains, as for the game framework, it is still quite free and normal.

Players play the game honestly, then this is an open world, if you have to do something different, then it is limited and not free.

"Alright, alright!"

Xiao Lu raised his hand and surrendered: "Anyway, the final interpretation is yours, what do you say we do, it's over." ”

"By the way, Brother Ba, about the core gameplay of the game, is there still a lack of a combat system?"

Combat system?!

Chen Ba was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked with confusion: "What combat system?" Let's this is a game that focuses on simulation development, where does the combat link come from? ”

Is there a fight in "The True Story of Abbas"?

Are you kidding!

The main character, Abako, is a disabled person whose daily life is full of inconveniences, and you ask him to fight with others? Or send Abba to save the world and stop the aliens?

"Ahem, this battle is not another battle!"

"I mean, there's got to be a system for comparing yourself to other players or differentiating between high and low, right? Otherwise, how can the gap between players be reflected? Xiao Lu explained.

There is no fighting.

But just because there's no combat doesn't mean you can't include an "alternative" combat system.

Chen Ba understands the battle, punching me and kicking each other, rubbing each other's big moves is the same as playing a fighting game.

The battle that Xiao Lu understands must not be the use of force, and the battle in other areas is also a battle. The battle here has to be player vs player, or player vs NPC!

"Uh......"

Chen Ba fell into deep thought.

Xiao Lu is right, living in today's society, we often face all kinds of "battles".

Let's take a simple example.

Talking and arguing with others is a battle, right? Thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, went through various exams and competitions, and counted as battles, right?

Fighting is just one of them.

The combat system proposed by Xiao Lu actually refers to a set of "simulation" mechanisms that revolve around real life.

"I think so, a simulation development game, although it doesn't re-operate, it can't be completely without operation."

"It's just that in the game "Abba Story", this kind of operation has become a different form ......"

He gave an example.

Quarrel!

When the protagonist Abba has a quarrel with other NPCs, he can enter the "battle", at which point the player can show the operation.

How?

Typing, of course! Is the Zaun pianist playing with you? Ten sprays in one second, directly crush the opponent at the operational level, and win the victory in this scolding battle!

"It's kind of interesting......"

Chen Ba was also inspired to think of another scene, that is, professional competition in the game.

The main plot of the game "The True Story of Abba is an inspirational story of Abba overcoming many difficulties and psychological problems, embracing society and embracing the future, and gradually moving towards success with the encouragement of family and friends".

To put it bluntly, in this process, Abba will not be smooth sailing, and will always face a lot of competition.

There are many types of this competition.

For example, if a company recruits employees, but only one person is recruited with many applicants, does Abba have to beat other competitors if he wants to break out of the encirclement?

For example, if Abba wants to become a scientist, enter a research group for a Ph.D., be elected as a professor or academician, etc., these challenges always need to be overcome, right?

Thinking about it this way, the game really needs an "all-encompassing" combat system that covers all areas and data of the game, so that players can intuitively feel the gap.

"We can make it a little more interesting, for example, Abba competes with other NPCs for the same position, then we can make it into a card game......"

"Huh? Card games? ”

Xiao Lu couldn't keep up with Brother Ba's thinking for a while, and asked with a confused face, "What do you mean?" What does this have to do with cards? ”

"Have you ever played the landlord?"

"One pair of three, one pair of K, on the tube, can't afford ......"

Chen Ba described vividly: "Change the gameplay and logic, and the cards will become academic qualifications, work experience, and all kinds of things written into the resume. ”

Junior College, Undergraduate, 985 Tube!

Yes, I can't afford it!

The main character, Abba can increase his "hand" in a variety of ways. The more hands you have, and the better your hand, the more likely you are to win HR's favor and get a job offer.

This is actually a boring plot made into a "mini-game" form, similar to the GWENT card in "The Witcher 3".

The gameplay is relatively simple......

Guessing determines who plays the cards first, and the winner is determined by the size of the cards, and every time a player "can't afford it/passes" a round, the interviewer's impression score will drop by a wave.

Similarly, if a player plays an opponent with a hand that is "undesirable/overbearing", the interviewer's impression score will increase.

When the impression score reaches a certain level, the protagonist Abba can be regarded as defeating a group of competitors and winning the position!

"Then it's not operational!"

Rogie, who walked over with a cup of Americano, said: "The hand is generated according to Aba's existing conditions, which means that the victory or defeat is already predestined, and the process of playing cards is a pure waste of time. ”

According to Bago, the hand is generated based on the existing conditions of the player or NPC.

Abba has a bachelor's degree, then there is an undergraduate card, and if the degree is a doctorate, then there is a doctor's card, and it is impossible to make something out of nothing......

In that case, what cards are still played? Anyway, winning or losing is doomed, and adding this playing process is a waste of time?

"No, no, no!"

Chen Ba shook his head and denied: "Although the starting hand accounts for the majority of the victory and defeat, the excellent operation can also change the life against the sky." ”

The story of Tian Ji horse racing, everyone has heard more or less.

Attacking the other's weaknesses with their strengths, this can be highly evaluated in "The True Story of Aba", that is, the interviewer's impression score will rise a lot.

And the rules of playing cards do not require the same type of cards.

In other words, the opponent can play countless cards, and you only have one card of [the chairman's nephew], which can also be played, and even you can win steadily.

Of course, this is just a joke.

Chen Ba has not yet figured out the actual rules, but he already has a general idea, that is, the size of "each card" is not just to look at the card.

It also has to be determined in combination with the employment needs of this company, this unit, and the other party's hand.

"In the actual game, you can make up for the disadvantages of your hand with manipulation. You only need to pull out the right hand at the right time, and everything depends on the interviewer's impression score. ”

Chen Ba said with a smile: "I can manage the cards in this round, but I have bigger cards in charge of you, so I chose to pass a round and deduct points for the time being." ”

"Your good cards are finished, and there are a bunch of bad cards left in your hand, so I have a bunch of bombs in my hand, isn't the impression a quack?"

"It's not that simple, is it?"

Luo Ji pondered: "If Tian Ji is a horse race, it should be to use his own medium card to pick up the big card, the small card to the middle card, and the big card to the small card?" ”

"Yes!"

"It seems that the 2:1 loss is very bad, but in fact, the last round of big cards played small cards, and the impression points increased more than the first two rounds, so it was a win."

A small loss is not a loss, and there are not many impression points, but it really comes to the point where the other is strong and the other is short, and when the doctor plays the secondary school, the impression score will increase critually.

However, having said that, this set of rules needs to be more detailed and improved, and on the premise of retaining a certain degree of operability, it mainly emphasizes the rigid requirements of recruitment.

For example, academic qualifications, work experience, and so on.

This is also what Chen Ba wants to express, it is okay to change your life against the sky in a small area, but your disadvantages are too obvious, and it is unrealistic to want to change your life against the sky.

Moreover, Chen Ba will also set an "initial score" in this link.

Because Abba is disabled, his initial score is much lower than that of other competitors, which is also an idea that tests the player's coping strategy.

After all, the starting line is a big step behind others, if you don't have any strengths or advantages, then how do you want to change your life? How do you want to catch up?

Therefore, this game is very bad for the players from the beginning, because the protagonist Abba can play too few cards, and most of them are bad cards......
