Chapter 236 Trends related to "Cyber·Liao Zhai"
Tianxing, the development department of "Cyber·Liao Zhai".
Tang Yunpeng faced Zou Lecheng with big dark circles under his eyes. Looking at his old friend with the same dark circles as his own, he wondered:
"Old Zou, what's wrong? Didn't you get a good rest last night?"
Zou Lecheng smiled awkwardly. Last night was the first time he experienced the new work "Slay the Spire".
Obviously this game doesn't have a fascinating plot. The beautiful graphics, but the four characters and the three-story tower make it so addictive.
He died suddenly over and over again. There were times when the cards were obviously good, but in the end he fell short.
I thought I would go to bed after clearing the level once, but I wanted to doze on every floor until it was already dawn.
However, it is really inappropriate to delay work because of being addicted to games. Zou Lecheng coughed twice:
"Well... I had a little insomnia last night.
Old Tang, why don’t you get a good rest? ”
"I played cards all night last night and was exhausted."
Tang Yunpeng yawned greatly.
At this moment, an employee happened to pass by and quickly said hello to the two bosses:
"Good morning, Mr. Tang and Mr. Zou!"
"Ah, hello."
Tang Yunpeng smiled and nodded, without saying anything more, and walked forward.
Zou Lecheng also nodded slightly and followed Tang Yunpeng's pace.
Only one young man was left with a burning heart.
It turns out that Mr. Tang likes to play cards, but he doesn’t know whether to play mahjong or poker.
If I could play cards with Mr. Tang and give him a hard time, would I be able to get promoted and get a raise immediately, become general manager, CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life?
Of course, Old Tang and Old Zou didn't know what the young people were thinking.
Both have their work cut out for them.
"Cyber·Liao Zhai" has been developed for more than a year now.
Because of the technical accumulation from the previous "Cyber·Fengshen" and Ma Bin's determination to make a breakthrough in the single-player field, the current development progress is not too slow.
The difference from Fengshen is that Liaozhai abandoned the original idea of Fengshen to be a soul-like game. After analysis by Tang Yunpeng and Luo Bai, this game is more suitable for a game-movie type RPG.
The follow-up work has been based on this idea.
The overall background of the entire story does not make any big breakthrough compared to the very classic cyberpunk works on the market.
But after all, the game is called "Cyber·Liao Zhai", so naturally humans, monsters, ghosts and immortals are indispensable in this background.
In the setting, the person who represents the superior immortal is the actual controller of the cyber world.
No matter in terms of technology, living standards, or ability to mobilize resources, the controllers of these upper-level areas are completely different from the vast majority of the people in the world.
Representing human beings are the bottom class of the cyber world, the vast majority of human beings who live in slums and have no hope because their labor has been completely replaced by machines.
They are confused and have crazy internal struggles. Everything they do is to survive in this damn world and to fight for the almost non-existent opportunity to achieve a class jump.
Demons represent an alternative type of artificial intelligence. In the world view of "Cyber·Liao Zhai", real artificial intelligence has not been developed.
However, artificial intelligence that integrates and packages human memory and thinking into data and uploads it to the Internet to give it human-like consciousness emerged as the times require.
This is equivalent to an alternative immortality technology. When the inherent vitality of human beings is squeezed to the limit, many people who have this opportunity will choose to be reincarnated into this alternative artificial intelligence.
But the core code of these monsters was broken into, and the stamp that swore to defend the cyber rulers and their property to the death was just a dog kept by the immortals.
Similarly, demons and demons will compete with each other. Whoever can obtain more computing power will be able to control more power and have more say in the virtual network.
Owners and large-scale machines carrying computing power are generally controlled by immortals. This is the only escape route they have left for themselves - becoming gods.
This is not an area that demons can enter.
Therefore, what the demons compete with each other is actually the very small but indeed existing computing power distributed in the world.
The brains of the poor.
The more people "eat" it, the more powerful the demon becomes.
Ghosts are the product of human beings who cannot enjoy this kind of artificial intelligence technology but still want electronic immortality. They use the incomplete technology leaked from the upper levels to fight to the death.
They are divided into incomplete ghost types with incomplete memory and data upload, and complete ghost types that were lucky enough to succeed.
But the same thing is that the physical carriers of these two kinds of ghosts are all their brain computers when they were humans.
And they are naturally eager for more computing power and eager to "eat" people.
But unlike demons, ghosts are not imprinted with any ideological stamp. They are freer and more dangerous.
Demons can only eat people secretly in places where immortals cannot see them. After all, poor people are considered one of the properties of the upper class.
But once the ghost takes shape, it will be the beginning of a killing spree.
Therefore, all humans, demons, and immortals hate ghosts.
Along with this, professional "Taoist" and "Buddhist" anti-virus personnel who specialize in cleaning up ghosts came into being...
In fact, Tang Yunpeng and Zou Lecheng still have certain differences regarding the main design of this game.
Zou Lecheng wanted to describe as much as possible the arrogance and luxury of immortals, in sharp contrast to the poor, to highlight the core of cyberpunk elements.
But Tang Yunpeng believes that the most important thing about a game is to make it fun enough.
Making those things is risky, and players may not be able to accept them.
In the end, Ma Binna respected Tang Yunpeng's opinion.
Of course, it is impossible for the game "Cyber·Liao Zhai" to spread its business to such a large scale right from the start.
The main stage for the first step is still the slums.
The main characters that appear are humans, ghosts, and Taoist priests. Demons and gods will only be involved in a small part of the plot, and immortals may only appear once in the background.
Regarding the plot of the story, in order to enhance players' acceptance of the game, Tang Yunpeng's initial intention was to select several more representative stories from Liaozhai for magical modification.
For example, "Ying Ning" and "A Chinese Ghost Story".
After all, "Cyber·Liao Zhai" is just an experimental work to be honest.
Tang Yunpeng can guarantee that he will definitely be the best in his ability, and his original intention will also do its best to support him.
But in the end, if the finished product is really unsatisfactory in terms of sales volume.
There is no doubt that this project will definitely be shelved. There is no point in making the stall too big.
But now, "Cyber·Liao Zhai" is indeed on the right track.
At this time, what appeared in front of Tang Yunpeng was the first prologue of the game.
An old ghost who has caused many murders tricks a human being into opening his own firewall by manipulating the virtual world and constructing a better life in the future.
Just when the human mind's defense line has been breached, and is about to open its own firewall, allowing its brain and computer to be taken advantage of by this old ghost. The protagonist of the story, an anti-virus agent who believes in "god" and has obtained a certain amount of computing power, arrives belatedly.
Wearing a neon double flash Taoist robe, under the mahogany magic sword in his hand is a USB socket. The yin and yang of the treasure gourd are constantly rotating, and the internal high-precision chip provides a large amount of computing power support.
This shape looks quite shocking, but if you take a closer look, it is very interesting.
After all, to make a Yanguo-style game, Tang Yunpeng also hired professional artists to design it.
The organic combination of cyber elements and Yanhuang elements is not a completely unfamiliar subject in the painting circle.
In "Cyber·Liao Zhai", the battle process of those ghosts is actually very clever.
If you want to make a dazzling 3D action game, there is no such technical accumulation in China, and even the original intention is still in the process of exploration.
Especially this kind of competition in terms of computing power. If you want the "fight" to be exciting enough, you also need to have elements of Yanhuang. This thing can make everyone think it over.
Therefore, we can only make a fuss about the ability of the ghost itself.
After all, this is a battle in virtual reality, so it can be as fancy as you like.
Anyway, the virtual manifestation of Taoist priest's attack method is Yin Yang and Five Elements.
The final battle performance is to first decrypt to find the weak point, then play QTE, and directly defeat the ghost through the attribute conflict.
As long as the protection of these ghosts is opened and the location of their brain computers is revealed, victory will be achieved.
I can’t say that it’s impossible to do this, but it requires a high level of animation, and it’s a battle that requires a lot of money to be successful.
Looking at this crude and unsatisfactory version of the battle in front of him, Tang Yunpeng also shook his head.
“It can only be repaired later.”
Sitting there was nothing to do anyway. Thinking back to the fact that he was playing Spire all night and died like crazy yesterday. Tang Yunpeng couldn't hold it in any longer and decisively opened the game again and started playing.
Old Tang analyzed every game that Chuxin made.
Without investigation, you have no right to speak. If you don't experience Slay the Spire, how can you say whether this game is fun or not?
Currently, Tang Yunpeng's favorite character is the malfunctioning robot.
Mainly the charging ball mechanism is very refreshing and completely different from the previous warriors and hunters.
And each role has many different ideas.
With such huge differentiation and so many random events, the game can still be made so fun.
This is a knowledge, and it is also something Tang Yunpeng needs to learn.
Although there are sudden deaths one after another, this game has such a magic power that allows people to play it one after another.
While playing, suddenly there was a knock on the office door.
Skillfully cutting the screen to the preview interface of the prologue, Tang Yunpeng cleared his throat:
"Please come in."
The person who came in was Lao Zou. He came to ask about the follow-up development arrangements.
On the surface, the two of them have a subordinate relationship, but based on their relationship, it is not that false.
Zou Lecheng walked directly behind Tang Yunpeng openly and looked at the prologue interface on his computer without saying anything.
But when his eyes caught a glimpse of a familiar card icon, a strange expression appeared on his face.
"Old Tang, are you busy?"
Zou Lecheng asked suppressing his smile.
"What's wrong? What's the matter?"
Tang Yunpeng suppressed the panic in his heart, stood up from his seat, and wanted to pour a glass of water. At the same time, he asked Lao Zou to look away from his computer screen.
At the same time, I prayed in my heart, but don’t notice that I am playing fish and playing games.
Although this kind of thing is not a big deal, it is embarrassing.
He couldn't just tell Lao Zou not to look at his screen. This would be a big misunderstanding.
After all, if every time you enter the room and see your friend's computer interface as the main interface of the browser, then there is a high probability that he is watching a movie.
Fortunately, Zou Lecheng's eyes did follow Tang Yunpeng's back.
Tang Yunpeng breathed a sigh of relief, took two glasses of water in a disposable cup, and placed them on the table.
I just sat down and took a sip, pretending to be businesslike:
"Old Zou, just talk if you need anything. Have you encountered any problems in development?
If I can solve it, I will solve it immediately. This game is the top priority now. Our reputation and future are all tied to this game. ”
After saying that, he took another sip.
But the water had just entered his mouth, and Zou Lecheng almost spat it out when he opened his mouth.
"Old Tang, when you said you played cards all night, you were playing Slay the Spire, right?"
Tang Yunpeng suddenly covered the water with his mouth. After finally swallowing it, he coughed twice.
Looking up at Zou Lecheng's old and disrespectful face, he looked embarrassed.
No...this old guy has noticed it a long time ago and has been waiting for me here.
Then, Tang Yunpeng regained his composure and raised his eyebrows:
"Each other."
Zou Lecheng also lost his power at once.
But he didn't say much, just grabbed Tang Yunpeng's mouse and clicked on the game.
"Oh~robot, this character is too good, and it's too easy to die suddenly. After playing a few games, I felt it was boring and I didn't want to play anymore.
It has to be a hunter, well, a card with such awesome acrobatics is actually white, but instead a huge part of the gold card is defense. ”
Seeing Zou Lecheng slandering his favorite machine treasure, Tang Yunpeng could not hold back:
"How many robots do you know? Do you understand ice hockey flow? The value of 999 defense at the end of the round! Do you understand?"
"I think you don't understand! With the Night Dire Catalyst, the monster's health turns extremely green in one round! No matter who it is, it will be killed instantly in one round.
You stupid robot will never be able to deal such high damage in your life! ”
"How much luck do you think you have? I can play ice hockey, but you can play Dire Catalyst?"
"Hockey hockey? Didn't you focus on playing hockey?
Come! The computer is right here, you play ice hockey, show me how to play one!
If you can't play it out, just admit it and admit that the hunter is the best in the world! ”
