i really just want to play games

Chapter 386 Set sail
Chen Tiancai's actions were of course to test one thing.

That's how flexible the employees are.

Through the process just now, it is obvious that the next step is to follow the NPC Gregis to develop a collection spacecraft.

However, after the usual game NPC signals the player to keep up, it will just wait in place and not do anything.

This is very dull, and it does not meet the setting that the NPC of Shimmer game is more intelligent and the player has a stronger sense of substitution.

After waiting for 2 minutes, the NPC Gregis shouted from the door: "What are you dawdling about!"

"Okay, here I come."

Chen Tiancai said according to the prompt board, and then he still didn't move, and continued to wait.

The employees outside began to stare wide-eyed, because the situation did not change, and the NPC would still just repeat that sentence, waiting for the player.

"I'm so dumb, why didn't I think of this question at the beginning!"

"The solution is still simple, let's wait patiently..."

Although Chen Tiancai didn't know the reaction from the outside, he looked directly at a recording device and said, "This is a point. When you go back and modify it, you need to find out what the real situation will be like, and then design."

The employees in Rest City nodded collectively.

Although the world engine can save a lot of time in finding bugs, some parts of the game still have to be constantly modified to achieve the best results.

For example, using a teleprompter board to allow players to speak on their own to achieve complete immersion in the conversation is a good design. Otherwise, the game screen would have been completely simulated, and the player would still be mute, which would be too inconsistent.

The goal has been achieved, Chen Tiancai didn't come to waste time anymore, and just 'walked' out of the room.

Because the foot peripherals have not been resolved, the actual display range of the low-light host cannot allow the player to really walk how many steps.

The current method of moving is a combination of virtual and real.

During a long movement, the method used is to use the direction keys of the "Ruyi Stick" to control it. The player himself does not move, but only the surrounding scenery moves. The similar effect is like riding a car.

To add to the sense of realism, when the player looks at his body, he will find his legs moving.

But this is only a low-light display effect, and the real player still does not move.

In some relatively small movement ranges, players are prompted to move by themselves to achieve an experience that combines virtuality and reality.

"I've already sent you the collection spaceship manual, take a good look on the way, don't crash into it, and waste my collection spaceship." Gregis still had a bad face, and he didn't even look at Chen Tiancai next to him.

Chen Tiancai followed the teleprompter and said, "I will be your most powerful collector." He stretched out his hand to press the teleprompter and moved around.

The teleprompter is a translucent white light curtain, about the size of a normal male palm.

This is a basic function in "Anthem Infinity". In addition to providing dialogue to players, it also has functions such as game system switch and status bar display.

In the game's setting, the teleprompter is also everyone's basic communication device, and its function is the same as that of a real-world mobile phone.

After walking with Gregis for about 3 minutes, and after taunting each other for a while, Chen Tiancai came to the starting point of the first mission in the game.

When there was no conversation on the way, Chen Tiancai also checked how to operate the collection spacecraft.

Based on Chen Tiancai's design concept, the operation method of collecting spaceships is very simple, that is, after the player sits on the prepared chair, directly use the 'Ruyi stick' to operate.

The method of operation is also very simple, just hold the 'Ruyi stick' vertically with one hand, and then perform all the movements according to the direction of inclination.

The angle of view follows the player's own real-time angle of view, which is also the advantage of the low-light host, which saves the player from having to operate an angle of view joystick.

"It's up to you after you go in. If it doesn't work, use the escape device. Although it may fail sometimes, compared to the cost of picking you up, I still hope you can live."

Chen Tiancai found the chair he had prepared, and was about to start experimenting with the main gameplay of "Hymn: Infinity"—before launching the spaceship, NPC Gregis rang out some concerned words.

"Thank you, teacher." Chen Tiancai followed what he said on the teleprompter, and at the same time understood the relationship between himself and this foul-mouthed Gregis.

Because it is not possible to use cutscenes to introduce the background of the game from the beginning, a large amount of text in the Shimmer game has to be designed around the NPCs in the game, and the relationship between the characters in the game and the background of the story are constantly interspersed during the game. .

Brought into the player's perspective, Gregis, who is now caring about himself, the stinky guy who was a little annoying just now, instantly becomes a tough guy with special care, showing his close relationship with the player.

……

This is a small spaceship with only two seats inside, but judging from the narrow cockpit, the extra seats definitely cannot accommodate two adults.

"The people in the spaceship design team have also worked hard." Chen Tiancai looked at the rusty iron sheets around him, some messy personal items, and even some inexplicable stains on the walls of the spaceship. Gained strength and ideas.

In "Hymn Infinity", spaceships, a commonly used tool, are undoubtedly one of the cores of the game.

The collector spaceship currently controlled by Chen Tiancai is in the fringe area of ​​human power. Most of the junk goods provided by mining companies to employees are remodeled from small ships eliminated by the military.

Although the product produced by the military represented stable performance, the spaceship that had to be used for collection tasks not only modified a very narrow cockpit, but also installed a cargo compartment of the same size as the spaceship at the bottom of the spaceship.

Even if this junk has a good foundation, it has become a very risky spaceship after being tossed like this. At least the mining company said that the cargo hold installed by professional designers has become the most unstable factor in flight.

As soon as you enter the game, giving players such a shabby spaceship is for gameplay reasons.

If you give the whole high-end cargo as soon as you come up, you may not be interested in changing it in the face of a large number of spaceships behind.

As a small spaceship, the collector is the lowest grade, but for a player who has just entered the game and is looking forward to the following content, this is already a good toy.

Chen Tiancai held the 'Ruyi stick' vertically, pressed the acceleration button, and started the first sailing of the spaceship in "Hymn Infinity".

The door in the distance opened, and the endless starry sky unfolded in front of Chen Tiancai. The surroundings were pitch black, except for the faint outline of the planet in the distance, which indicated that this place was not far from a planet, and only the faint light at the limit of the field of vision proved the age of the stars here. very light.

Although the Collector looks very shabby from the outside, Chen Tiancai still felt very comfortable after operating it for a while, looking at the scenery, and following the prompter board's tutorials to experiment with a few flying movements, and encountered almost no problems.
