Chapter 206 A little reverse thinking
Any tips?
Gu Fan looked at the time, but it was not yet 6 o'clock, so there was no need to worry about Lilith appearing suddenly and being caught.
But even so, he still has to be cautious and cannot speak too clearly in many words, otherwise he may have worries.
Looking at Zhou Yang's appearance, he was indeed confused and confused.
I think it was probably after I had pondered for a long time without an answer that I had to come to the door.
Gu Fan did not answer immediately, but cheerfully took a can of Coke from the refrigerator and handed it to Zhou Yang, then pointed to the sofa: "Sit down first."
Zhou Yang was a little confused. Sit down and continue to wait for Gu Fan's answer.
Gu Fan also sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "Zhou Yang, bugs appear naturally. I can't predict what kind of bugs will appear. How can I know what kind of bugs will appear?
< br>“I can only say that as a game designer, if you want to find the pattern of BUG occurrences, there is only one way, and that is... think more.
"We need to analyze more about the mechanics and content of the game, and then think more."
Zhou Yang was very anxious: "Mr. Gu, I have thought about it, and I have thought about it a lot!
"But, "The Road" The game "Angry Simulator" is different from all the games we have developed before!
“This game is too closely related to reality.
“The themes of previous games include Western fantasy, magical history, and fairy fantasy, which in themselves have great significance. With so much controllable space, even if a bug appears that subverts the gameplay, it won't be too abrupt.
"But everything in "Road Rage Simulator" is based on real-life situations, whether it's vehicle performance, the rewards players earn in the game, or traffic rules... these are all too close to reality. , if a bug occurs, it will be very strange and obvious.
“After thinking about it, the only place where a bug may occur is in the AI aspect.
“But this time Mr. Li repeatedly ordered that fake-AI must not be used again, so this time the AI was made using conventional methods, and it is difficult to induce any major changes in it.
"These AIs will imitate uncivilized driving behaviors in reality and repeatedly cause trouble to players. However, after much thought, I can't change the behavior of AIs with just one bug and let them drive peacefully... ”
Zhou Yang was helpless. Apparently he had thought of some ways, but he quickly rejected them.
Gu Fan was silent for a moment: "Well... I think this general direction is quite correct. In terms of vehicle performance, game rewards, or traffic rules, it is really not easy to end up with bugs.
" In comparison, , AI is the hardest-hit area where BUGs need to be prevented.
“But I think you still lack a little bit of reverse thinking.
“Why must these AIs be allowed to drive peacefully?
“Many times, people will feel angry because of certain things; but if the degree of these things reaches a certain threshold and seems too outrageous, people are likely to stop being angry, which is commonly known as... Laughed angrily.
"Do you think this is true?"
Zhou Yang couldn't help but perked up: "Laughing in anger? Can you still do this?"
Obviously, Mr. Gu's words seemed to be Before the exam, I helped him identify the key points. This bug should indeed be caused by the AI!
Because this itself is a simulator game, if due to a bug, players turn into a racing game, or into a business and money-making game, then this bug does seem a bit too abrupt, not only is it easy Being caught by Lilith is not in line with Nitiantian's game production style.
But how to change AI specifically?
Originally, what Zhou Yang was thinking was, could some bugs be used to make these AIs behave themselves? Let them drive quietly and reduce accidents? In this way, "Road Rage Simulator" can at least become "Food Delivery Simulator" or "Taxi Simulator".
But obviously, this approach is not appropriate, because "stimulating players' road rage" is originally Lilith's core idea for this game. If this is changed, it will still be easily exposed.
What's more, if it were made into "Food Delivery Simulator", "Taxi Simulator", and "Truck Driver Simulator", would this game be fun?
It doesn’t seem to be much fun, nor is there much innovation.
But now, Mr. Gu seems to have proposed another direction?
Zhou Yang was thoughtful: "Mr. Gu, I seem to understand! Thank you, I'll go back and think about it!"
His certain inspiration switch seemed to be activated, and he left in a hurry.
……
……
June 18th, Wednesday at 6pm.
There are still two hours until Road Rage Simulator is officially released.
In Gu Fan’s villa, Lilith refreshed on time.
"Gu Fan! Long time no see, did you miss me?"
Lilith seemed to be in a good mood. She went to the refrigerator to get a Coke and then took it from the snack shelf. A few bags of potato chips, and then I lay down comfortably on the massage chair.
"Mr. Li, it feels like you have been very busy in the past two months or so?" Gu Fan asked tentatively.
Because in the past two months, Lilith seemed to have completely evaporated from the world and never appeared again! At first, Gu Fan was busy with the experience store and thought that Lilith was just keeping a distance from him. However, when he returned to the company and asked, he found out that Lilith had never appeared again after deciding on the design plan. .
I wonder if something happened over there in hell, or if Lilith has some other plans?
I saw Lilith eating potato chips like a starving ghost while explaining: "Oh, it's a long story!
"I didn't expect it either. I will encounter so many things when I return to hell this time.
"On the one hand, I have collected negative emotions well, so Laolu arranged for me to give lectures in hell to promote my successful experience! Well, because hell is so big, it took a lot of time.
" As the number one game producer in Hell, my speeches were of course sold out and the effect was very good.
“Also, as mentioned before, new technologies for collecting negative emotions are also being tested.
“I also watched the scientific researchers working overtime, and finally our new Before the product goes online, the relevant contract details are finalized!
“Speaking of which, how is the development of that micro-handle steering wheel going? I can’t wait to see how many negative emotions it can collect!”
Lilith's eyes were full of anticipation.
Gu Fan took a sample from the side: "Oh, it has already been mass-produced, and this time it will be released simultaneously with the game.
"The first batch of players who have pre-ordered, You should all have received the goods.
"The experience store is preparing to officially open during the day tomorrow."
Lilith reached out and took the sample. It was a packaged box, square.
This was originally the "Explorer" series of Zhitong handles, but this time a micro handle steering wheel was also added, so the box is much larger than the original packaging.
Opening the box contains the handle body, detachable module, wireless charging base, and the most important thing: the handle and steering wheel accessories.
The shell of the controller is a co-branded model of "Road Rage Simulator". It has a similar appearance to the co-branded controllers of many racing games, but the color scheme is more low-key.
"Very good, it seems that during my absence, all work is still progressing in an orderly manner! Gu Fanqian did a good job, I really did not misjudge you!"
Lilith is satisfied with the current situation.
Gu Fan was already accustomed to Lilith's compliments, and just said lightly: "Of course, Mr. Li, this is all my responsibility."
Lilith opened the box, but didn't have time to look carefully. Look, I suddenly got excited and seemed to suddenly remember something very important.
"Hey! By the way, Gu Fan, how about the national speedrunning competition in "Ascension"!"
Lilith followed the advice of the think tank and arranged this competition for Su Tong and others. After people do it, they become busy in hell. As a result, during this busy time, all the things in the world are put aside.
I rushed back today before the official release of "Road Rage Simulator", and suddenly I remembered that there was a speedrunning contest.
Gu Fan was silent for a moment: "This...Mr. Li, it depends on which angle you look at."
Lilith had a vague premonition of something bad, and she quickly checked the collection of negative emotions in her field of vision. , and then almost spit out the Coke.
“What’s going on!
“How could my negative emotions deduct so much! ! ”
She was so angry that she almost jumped three feet high from the massage chair, and her whole body exuded an explosive murderous aura.
This situation reminded Gu Fan inexplicably of the Taoist emperor shouting in a certain historical drama: My money! ! !
"What the hell is going on!" Lilith instantly became visibly red and warm, and subconsciously wanted to question Gu Fan.
Gu Fan was speechless: "Mr. Li, I didn't know about this from beginning to end... Didn't you ask me the wrong person..."
Lilith then I realized that I had blamed the wrong person, but I was still a little aggrieved and seemed to want to immediately go find the person who gave me this bad idea to settle the score.
But she thought about it and sat down on the massage chair again.
Obviously, it's better to figure out what's going on first, and then go out to investigate!
"Gu Fan! Turn on the TV!"
Gu Fan took the remote control and turned on the TV. Without Lilith saying anything, he directly opened Wang Dawei's live broadcast room.
"Mr. Li, if you want to find out the ins and outs, you can watch his live broadcast."
Lilith frowned slightly: "This is not the one who discovered the bug in "Ascension" before. Anchor? I remember that he was very good, and he even participated in the "Ascension" national speedrunning competition?
"Okay, let me see what's going on!"
At this time, Wang Dawei was unboxing the co-branded controller of "Road Rage Simulator" while waiting for the official release of the game.
But on his computer screen, he had completed the speedrunning record of the five small tracks in "Ascension". It was like a huge badge of honor, and he could not wait to share it with the audience in the live broadcast room. They show off.
“It turns out that my good brother Black Dragon didn’t lie to me. Speedrunning is really fun!”
