The dinner that Xiang Kun took over temporarily was naturally not as good as the meal that he had carefully prepared, prepared the ingredients in advance, and pondered the recipes.

But fortunately, the ingredients Tang Baona and Yang Zhen'er bought are also very expensive, and the basic texture and taste are there, Xiang Kun only needs to make it exactly the same, and it will not be delicious.

And the people who came over tonight are now attracted by Xiang Kun's game, and when they eat, they are still discussing the content of the game.

Not only the people who had played the game before the meal, but also the few people who arrived later observed for a while, followed and listened to the "story" for a while, and they were also full of interest, and they were in a hurry to join the game after eating.

While eating, Zhang Qian asked Xiang Kun about some things about the game.

To be honest, she was a little surprised when she was invited yesterday and learned that she was going to come to Tang Baona's house today to try out the game made by Xiang Kun.

She didn't expect that the game that Xiang Kun said before would be made so quickly. Even considering that Xiang Kun may have found a team to help him, this development speed is indeed a bit fast - even if there is no rest at all during the Spring Festival, it is only more than half a month since Xiang Kun said that he wanted to make a game in Tongshi Town.

Unless Xiang Kun had already done the same thing at that time, but judging from what he said at the time, it wasn't quite like it.

So before coming over today, according to Zhang Qian's prediction, the game that Xiang Kun made in such a short time is likely to be a relatively simple or even simple "little game".

However, now is the era of mobile Internet, and many "mini games" running on mobile phone platforms can be very prosperous and obtain huge benefits. Zhang Qian has no doubt about Xiang Kun's ability, even if it is just a "small game", the "small game" made by Xiang Kun will definitely have something unique that is eye-catching.

She is still very confident in Xiang Kun's ability.

But no matter what she thought, she never thought that what Xiang Kun made would be such a "game" in the form of pure sound.

When I first arrived here and listened to Yang Zhen'er introduce how to play this game, the thought that popped up in Zhang Qian's mind was-isn't this just a group running game hosted by AI voice? This type of TRPG is still suitable for small circles and offline face-to-face play, but it is difficult to do online, right?

But after playing for a few hours, Zhang Qian knew that this game was very different from the running group game and other presence-playing games.

It doesn't require everyone to have a detailed character card, and it doesn't need to define a variety of detailed attributes in advance, nor does it need to understand a variety of specific and complicated rules first, and you only need to define the character's name and some basic characteristics at the beginning, and other games will be responsible for arranging it, and slowly understand it in the process of playing.

In this game, the traditional game characteristics are actually greatly reduced, basically do not require the player to think and operate too much, the player is like listening to a story that he is also involved in, and as time progresses, the sense of substitution will become stronger and stronger. With a variety of real-time sound effects and various BGMs, it can mobilize the player's emotions, and as the plot progresses, they can be happy or sad, crying or laughing.

When playing other games, no matter how great the game's storyline is, players can rarely get out of the feeling of "playing" the game, because the attributes of the "game" are too strong.

But the game that Xiang Kun did, the voice that tells the story, is very suitable for what is being said, listening to it, unconsciously immersed in the plot and the story, and then unconsciously began to seriously "play" his role.

In different stories, different types of characters, and different speaking styles are different, and it is generally difficult for ordinary people to let go of the voice that is different from the normal state to express.

Even Zhang Qian was indeed a little unable to let go at the beginning, and in the story of that martial arts background, what she said was still in the style of a modern city. But as the story progressed, her participation increased, and she unconsciously began to participate in the game with language suitable for the martial arts style, opening and closing her mouth with "Brother Tai", "Jiu Yang", "Liubu", "Main Seat", "Presumptuous", "Die to me!......

This kind of really in-depth acting, and it is a play that communicates with other people and integrates into the plot, will give people the pleasure of really living another life, and have a strong sense of participation in the events in the story.

And more importantly, Zhang Qian found that this model does not need to know a group of players in advance at all, does not need to integrate into a small group first, and does not need to face to face and see each other - on the contrary, it does not see that it is better and more convenient to substitute, and it will not affect each other.

With such a very low entry threshold, it is indeed very suitable for making online games and convenient for single users to join.

After the game, Zhang Qian thought about it for a while, and was also surprised that the technology embodied in this game was powerful.

The technology of speech recognition and conversion to text is not unusual, and many large manufacturers have this technology and are very mature. But the accuracy of Xiang Kun's voice recognition and the accuracy of judging the recognized content were very shocking to her.

This voice engine is also the most human-like and fluent she has ever heard, and the emotional expression is just right, and there are not too many stiff and abrupt places.

There is also a story line that constantly changes and forms according to the choices of all players, which is also very smooth, and all kinds of logical chains are perfect and clear. It will even lay the foreshadowing in advance according to some of the player's early dialogues, and then "reverse" in the later stage to bring "surprises" to people.

This made her wonder if there was a real person behind the game, who was responsible for arranging the plot and reading the ......

After dinner, through video connection, I explained the situation of the game to You Meng and Liu Caifu from Tongshi Town, as well as Zicheng, who had been waiting for a long time, and then began to remotely teach them to install the client of the game and introduce the gameplay of the game.

After two hours, more than a dozen people all experienced a cyberpunk-style story together, and everyone stopped and started to discuss it on video.

You Meng and Liu Caifu basically have no other opinions except for shouting 666, let them vote as much as they want, they will vote according to their ability, anyway, they have already made a decision, not so much to invest in products and companies, but to invest in Kun. It's not so much about how much money you pay, it's about a sense of participation.

Zicheng is also very excited, as an "industry insider" with the same professional background as Xiang Kun University, he is also very sensitive to the technology shown in this game, and is a little skeptical that this game is not made by Xiang Kun himself, is it true that Xiang Kun has actually cooperated with some giants, and this game is jointly developed? But if that's the case, how can they have a chance to enter?

The most asked questions are still Zhang Qian. She is also the most concerned about this matter, and according to the share negotiated in Copperstone Town before, she will also be the largest funder.

"Xiang Kun, have you ever thought about the way this game is charged, is it to sell point cards, monthly cards, or props?" asked Zhang Qian.

Xiang Kun smiled: "This question will be answered by our Director of Operations Tang Baona Tang." ”

Tang Baoting, Gao Yao, Yang Zhener and others immediately applauded and coaxed: "Please Director Tang speak." ”

Tang Baona glared at Xiang Kun, then lifted her glasses a little nervously, and said: "I'm not a director, and I don't know how to operate, but I have discussed this issue with Zhen'er, Lao Xia, and Xiang Kun in the past few days. This time is the meaning of a game story. This charge can be very low, mainly to give players a psychological hint that they have spent money and make them take each game more seriously. The main charging method is some personalized customization, such as the modification of your own voice, such as more narration style, background sound, special effects sound, BGM selection, and the processing of game audio after completing the game, packaged into an overall voice story for players to recall, which can be charged. ”

Next to her, Yang Zhen'er looked at her laptop and said, "Hey, okay, the game we just played has been handled, come on, come on, listen to it." As he spoke, he played the game they had just played through the Bluetooth speaker.

Because it was recorded through Yang Zhener's client, the beginning started from Yang Zhener's perspective. It's a shame to hear your voice talking in the way you play other roles through the speakers.

But listening to it, they realized that it was different from when they played the game before, the background noise of these sounds was completely removed when they were recorded, and they were completely integrated with the background sound in the game, and the volume of the voice was also adjusted and modified to a certain extent, as if the voices of the narrator and other people were recorded in the same recording studio, which was very harmonious.

Not only that, but in the process of the game, many blank passages that need to wait for the player's selection and preprocessing have been reduced, and the whole sound story sounds smoother, really like listening to a radio drama and having sound.

Yang Zhener said: "After the game is launched, we can also hold some player work competitions, select better and story-based works, give rewards, and even spend money to buy the copyright and make it into a film and television drama to further promote our game, and it can also improve the motivation of players to seriously 'play' and invest in the situation when playing games." ”

Zhang Qian nodded, this is indeed a way to further improve the player's engagement, this function is really good, as a player, she wants to save that audio collection, and may take it out from time to time to listen to it.

"What if there is someone who is particularly fond of making trouble? For example, if you don't play seriously, you don't get into the play, you just want to talk nonsense to make trouble? After all, it's not a game played face-to-face, or by people you know, and if you match randomly, it's easy to encounter pitfalls. Yang raised his hand and asked his question.

Xiao Min next to him also nodded again and again like a chicken, the two of them played Glory of Kings together last night, and they were pitted by their teammates, if it weren't for poverty, the phone should have been broken several times.

"Lao Yang, you can answer. Xiang Kun looked at Yang Zhen'er and said.

"Call me Director Yang!" Yang Zhen'er danced her fist at him, and then said to Yang Zhuo: "There will be a real-time reporting mechanism at that time, and the system will automatically determine that if there is such a troublemaker, if they continue to disturb the background of the story, they will be forcibly replaced by the system." There will also be more control options for players to choose from, such as hosting the system directly if they are tired of playing and don't want to play, or let the narrator arrange the character to see if he dies or otherwise breaks away from the storyline. If you have something to do for a while, or you just want to 'sit in on the sidelines', you can also let your role be temporarily suspended and not mentioned. Xiang Chef said that after the player has played long enough, he can even let the system imitate the player's voice, and when the player does not want to play, he can participate according to the story line and complete the game. ”

"I think this can be done socially! Establish a first impression through the voice in the story and meet other netizens, this is a different experience from ordinary text communication!" Chang Bin said with some excitement.

"Isn't that the YY of the past?" Wang Han said.

"It's different, YY or other voice communication software, for people who are more introverted or not very confident in their own voice, are just listeners, not participants, and they dare not speak or dare not speak. But in this game, everyone will be naturally brought into it, and the communication of voices will have a theme and platform, and each time there will be a different story and gameplay, even introverts can also express themselves through this kind of 'playing'. Chang Bin said thoughtfully.

Because during this time, Xiang Kun has already told Tang Baona and Yang Zhener some specific ideas about this game, and some of them even came up with ideas through their experience, or they put them forward, so now when basically responding to the questions of Zhang Qian, Zicheng and others, the two of them are explaining, and everyone is discussing it hotly, but Xiang Kun is slowly withdrawing away, and only when it comes to some technical issues, will he come out to explain a few words.

He took his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Lao Xia, because he had just found out that she was still at the airport in the city through the coin on Lao Xia's body, and according to the scheduled flight time, she should have arrived in Thornton City.

Xiang Kun was a little worried, Lao Xia wouldn't have fallen asleep in the waiting room, right? After all, he drank blood yesterday and woke up at noon today, during this time, Lao Xia stayed all night, and he didn't sleep all night, so it was too normal to sleep in the waiting room.

was hesitating whether to sense the pair of chopsticks given to Lao Xia, and went to remind Lao Xia in his dream, and received a reply on WeChat:

"Late. ”

Xiang Kun breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the plane was late.

Xiang Kun: "I thought you missed the plane while asleep, but in fact, you should sleep at night and leave tomorrow." ”

A few seconds later, Lao Xia sent a reply: a panda expression with laser light in his eyes.

This is telling Xiang Kun that she is in good spirits.
