Reborn to create a virtual world

Du Sitong was at a loss for a moment: "Huh?"

Lin Shu didn't care about her slow reaction - anyway, she was more used to it.He said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that I'm learning programming and independently designing games. It's just an exercise. Isn't the teacher good at drawing? Why don't we cooperate. It will be our joint work then."

——Help, my student said he wanted to introduce me to a part-time job as a game artist!

——Is the landlord a college counselor?

——No, it's a primary school trainee teacher plus a temporary head teacher.

Du Sitong's mental activities were rich in completing a forum tree hole question and answer and self-satisfaction, and then hesitated to hit Lin Shu with the truth.

[Is it so simple to make a game! ?Kid, I know your computer skills are good, but isn’t it too exaggerated to make games by yourself! ?The genius hacker Mitnick hacked into the U.S. air defense when he was 15 years old. At your age, you can get a perfect score in math, right?People can't be too ambitious. ] But Du Sitong couldn't say it out—when she told Lin Shu about her animation dream before, Lin Shu gave her advice in various aspects very seriously.To reciprocate, even if the other party is a child, Du Sitong feels that he must not do this.

The result of being too thin-skinned is that it is inevitable to be led away by others with words, so in the end Du Sitong didn't know what to do, and became Lin Shu's specially hired artist.

Although at this time, she still positions herself as a full-time nanny who plays with children.

"So, what kind of game do you want to make?" Du Sitong asked Lin Shu.

Lin Shu said with a smile: "In fact, the general engine production has been in progress, but there is no specific plot direction and character setting yet... If you want to see it, teacher, I can make a temporary part for you to see."

Hearing what he said so seriously, Du Sitong really felt a little curious, and said, "Really? Return the engine? It seems quite professional."

Lin Shu replied: "That is. Teacher, you will know in the future, join the production of this game...you will not regret it."

The half-grown child showed the attitude of an adult, swearing so confidently that he was almost arrogant... Actually, he still looked cute.So Du Sitong couldn't help but reached out and rubbed his head: "Then I'll wait."

Lin Shu's hair was messed up, and he immediately showed a little dissatisfaction, avoiding Du Sitong's harassment.

Really, completely treated like a child.

Then he said to Du Sitong: "But if it's possible, the teacher can help me draw a few characters and background pictures first... By the way, there are icons, but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if I don't have one. I don't know how to draw, If you directly use ready-made pictures, you will be suspected of copyright infringement-the icon is okay, if you really can’t do it, you can just find a commercial one on the Internet.”

Du Sitong smiled, "You kid... you're quite legal-conscious."

Lin Shu said: "It's not all because of this."

How should I put it, Du Sitong might not understand it, because Lin Shu still has some vague impressions of the situation when he was a child. He remembers that the entire network and the copyright issue in the market were very chaotic at that time, and piracy was rampant.Many years later, college textbooks called the 45 years calculated from this year as the exhaustion period of Chinese copyright.

These 45 years have promoted the rise of the economy, but also led to the death of original consciousness.Although in terms of population, this country has never lacked innovators who have gone on and on, but most of the innovators have been submerged in the wave of speculation and have never received due rewards.

This is the tragedy of the times.

Although Lin Shu was born at the end of this wave, he has never felt the difficulties.When he was in elementary school, the country was already looking at copyright issues; when he was in middle school, piracy had gradually begun to disappear.By the time he started his own business, the genuine version had completely become the mainstream of society, and the relevant laws had been basically perfected.

It's just that he had heard more than once about tragedies caused by the lack of copyright similar to this time, so he was deeply impressed and quite scrupulous.

Moreover, he has long been used to respecting other people's creative achievements. In fact, doing so can only be regarded as an instinctive reaction, but it has nothing to do with subjective consciousness.

Generally speaking, some things are a kind of moral choice in a period of conceptual confusion, and if you have received the correct education since childhood, choosing the right way is an instinct and a logical cognition.

In this cognition, what is correct is beneficial, and what is beneficial must be correct.Lin Shu naturally feels that infringements are detrimental to him, so he avoids such practices—this has nothing to do with moral values.

But Du Sitong didn't know, so he only felt that although this child was young, he was very principled and methodical in doing things, so he looked up to him.

However, this high point is nothing compared to the ability that Lin Shu showed in front of Du Sitong afterwards.

Du Sitong spent a weekend and came up with two backgrounds and four or five character designs.Because Lin Shu's requirements are not strict, the background and character design are also relatively simple, and the paintings are not very complicated and exquisite.

She positioned herself as a babysitter to coax the children. Even if her attitude towards Lin Shu was somewhat serious because she liked this student, she was still coaxing her seriously, and she didn't really take Lin Shu's proposal as a serious matter. jobs.

Naturally, Lin Shu could see this.

But Du Sitong is a good painter, it can be seen that he has worked hard for many years, and even if he has done a little bit of business drawing, the result is only simple, not crude.

Of course, if such an original art manuscript is shown to Lin Shu in 20 years or even ten years, Lin Shu will definitely call her back and redo it.But now it is different from the past. For one thing, Du Sitong is investing in credit and emotion. Even if the paintings are mediocre, she is willing to believe that Lin Shu makes this investment and takes this risk. This is enough to double the value of her own investment. Considering Shu's own age, it wouldn't be too much to double or triple this value.

Secondly, due to time and resource constraints, Lin Shu himself did not make the whole game meticulously. He just wanted to be able to make people's eyes shine at this time. It is not a matter of trying his best to keep improving, so there is no way to demand Du Sitong. It must be how.

It is still necessary for Du Sitong to recognize the value of the game first.

Because of this idea, Lin Shu worked very hard on the next plot.He doesn't seek the true emotion of the plot, but only seeks to reflect the superiority and moving aspects of the current system to the greatest extent.

Finally, in the second week, he made a game for Du Sitong, which really moved him very much, leaving Du Sitong dumbfounded.

In Lin Shu's eyes, this game is very crude and lazy, because he is judging its value from the perspective of 20 years later. The level 20 years later is naturally not the same as it is now. Just looking at the hardware configuration, we know that the current games simply cannot bear such elaborate systems and graphics.

And if the system is evaluated purely based on the current level, Du Sitong can only express it—amazing.

Due to time and manpower constraints, Lin Shu simply made a game program.This game is very simple, probably the interaction process of several people.

Du Sitong simply didn't know how Lin Shu did it—aside from the many unfinished settings in the entire system, Lin Shu almost designed the characters to come alive through the mood tree system.

Or it seemed to come alive.

What Lin Shu is doing is a simulation cultivation system. The mood tree part is used for virtual social interaction with NPCs, so what he showed Du Sitong this time is also mainly about this aspect.The mood tree system has a very complicated calculation model, which can not only increase the favorability, but also reduce the favorability, and can even prompt NPCs to carry out independent activities-for example, on the second day of dating, the target with cooking skills has There is a high probability that the player will be given lunch; and if the two characters quarrel because of something, the subsequent time period is also a very complicated period, and there will be opportunities to deepen the relationship and increase the degree of heartbreak at the same time.

The former can trigger special plots, such as saving one's life when encountering danger; while the latter, if the heartbreak is too high, will lead to blackening, sickness, falling in love and killing each other - the specifics depend on the design of the character Basic character setting.

Du Sitong didn't know how the system and related data were designed, but he was amazed by the connection.She herself plays games occasionally, so she knows the current level of some similar games, and therefore can understand the surprising features of the system created by Lin Shu.

At first, she thought that these plots were all pre-set, but when Lin Shu restarted the system to show her, she found that such plots were actually connected randomly and naturally—that is, under certain conditions, this The system can connect the responses of different characters in a continuous plot.

And these, Lin Shu can easily create by using a fool-like system that even Du Sitong himself can use.

The whole system is not difficult to achieve in programming, and the ideas in it are not necessarily very ingenious and hard to think of.But transforming ideas into real game systems, including system construction, data design, and bug elimination...is the most troublesome.

Fortunately, Lin Shu is a skilled worker. As a CEO of a related industry, he may not be able to recite the code of each module, but for the overall construction plan, the main reasons for the failure of similar games, and some of the design The key problems are all more or less clear in memory.

In this case, Lin Shu avoided many detours and saved a lot of time.
