Reborn to create a virtual world

And a lot of other things happened during the filming time.

One of the most important things is that the NPC interaction system of "Infinite Time and Space" has finally been excavated.

In the past six months, many players have been working tirelessly to improve the favorability of NPCs, and then unearthed countless plot tasks and plot-type events.

Generally speaking, after the NPCs in the game reach the plot-level favorability, they will no longer increase their favorability through ordinary events or interactions. There will still be interactive events and out-of-group events, but the rewards have changed from favorability to specific ones. Return gift or gain Buff.

This kind of setting allows players to obtain corresponding benefits even when the favorability value does not increase. Coupled with the fun of socializing and playing games with NPCs, it can basically ensure that players will not feel tired of such activities.

But to maintain the vitality of an online game, we must also ensure that it has some new content from time to time.Compared with the manual addition of update packages in general games, in addition to the expansion of the new world, another selling point of "Infinite Time and Space" is the automatic change of the original world.

In this case, changes to the NPC itself are also necessary.

In the long-term interaction between players and NPCs, due to the special social nature of intelligent NPCs, as well as the demand for various reward items and buffs, many players will develop a habit of going to NPCs that already have plot-level favorability after going online. Trigger daily events.In this process, although plot-type events have their chances, but the number of times is too high, and there are indeed many opportunities to trigger them.

These triggered events accumulated over time, quantitative changes led to qualitative changes, and slowly some players discovered the mystery.

This question was first mentioned in a forum post, and a girl posted a post asking, "Has anyone noticed Lean and Feiyu from the novice weapon shop in Twilight City in the Demon Realm?"

Then wrote in the post:

Has the relationship between the two men improved?At first, Luzhu thought it might be her own illusion, but later found a screenshot from before, and found that the attitude of the conversation between the two was completely different.But Luzhu has a bad memory, and doesn't really remember the previous plots.Do you have a good memory or a friend who left a screenshot to confirm Luzhu's idea?

These two characters are both popular NPCs, and the characters at the novice birth point have such an advantage. As long as they have a better face, they can easily leave a deep impression on people.

These two characters belong to the Bailian Weapon Shop, one of the novice workplaces. One is in charge of cold weapons and the other is in charge of hot weapons.Although there is also a girl who is in charge of weapons such as wands and spell books, but that is basically negligible.These two NPCs love and kill each other all the year round, and despise each other. The Huashan faction is a battle of sword spirit, and they are a battle of hot and cold weapons.

Not long after entering the game, I saw the two fighting all year round, but many people complained that they fell in love and killed first, showing their affection in disguise.But that's just the ridicule of the players, and few people take these jokes seriously.

It's just that the girl went online to do a mission recently, and found that these two NPCs didn't fight much anymore, and they behaved fairly friendly, so she was surprised, so she came to post this post.

1L: Not an illusion.I also found that the atmosphere is very subtle.

2L: There's nothing weird about that.At Liming's side, the heavenly couple was finally broken up by a group of FFF groups.A group of girls in the Deep White Legion is holding the red thread for Asman and Blue Peacock for almost a month... You don't know it! ?

……

So as the posts began to build up, more players began to know that not only can the NPC's favorability be gained in the game, but it can also affect the relationship between NPCs.

The post quickly started to go wrong, one side started to discuss whether it is possible to pursue NPCs, and the other side started to discuss how deep the influence on the game world can be.Due to various reasons, some people pinched dozens of floors in the middle, and then discussed again.

Then the post went viral without knowing it.

In fact, the current world context changes far more than what these players have discovered.At least according to Xingze’s data, among the NPCs whose daily event triggers totaled more than 68.3 in the past year, [-]% had a change in the relationship between characters. Among them, three pairs of couples were separated, and eight pairs were matched by Lalang. ——The dismantled couples were all bad reviews among the players and were disliked by most people, and after such a group of FFF members who had no basic moral concepts worked hard day and night, these three couples were finally put together to death No contact with each other.

There are many kinds of Lalang roles, but generally speaking, they are all characters who are very cute and the interaction is very cute.Of course, there must be more than these who were tried to pull Lang, and there were more than these who were demolished CP.There are two couples in Xianyin. The man and the woman are both popular characters. They live in dire straits every day. Every day, members of the group come to chant mantras, but there are also CP members who persistently come to resolve misunderstandings and help them deepen their relationship. That scene is simply not too beautiful. ...

Some of them were paired desperately by players and only became friends.After all, there are still basic character designs. Some characters have different sexual orientations, and some characters cannot accept certain attributes. No matter how hard the players try, it will be in vain.

In fact, these players are still too naive.Lin Shu is the clearest, the NPCs in "Infinite Time and Space" except for certain 2% special characters, the others can really be conquered.According to the current progress of the data, there is a female player who conquers a specific character in the Demon Realm, and she has already completed the first condition [the highest favorability among all players and NPCs], and the favorability of the plot has also increased by about 75%.Because she was attacking a non-functional NPC with a remote location and relatively unpopularity, more than [-]% of the plot events of this NPC were triggered by her.

In this case, as long as she completes the second condition [favorite level reaches the legendary level], and then confesses to the NPC, or randomly triggers the NPC's confession event, it is possible to enter the strategy state.

At that time, it is estimated that there will be another commotion.

Because this girl's strategy data is particularly outstanding, the department in charge of monitoring the game of "Infinite Time and Space" has been paying close attention to her.The planning department is responsible for the long-term maintenance and detailed adjustment of the relevant plots. The girls can't enjoy their own work results, so they pay attention to the progress of the girls every day.

Intelligent response is the function of the game program, only the necessary data exchange will involve the data exchange of the server, so the monitoring department does not know the specific process of the girl's attack on the NPC, but they all think that the girl's day and night will be rainy and rainy, which is really too long Sex, and admire it.

And the siege lion is particularly angry-"How long is this girl! This year, I went online on time every day to find a virtual character to communicate and strategy. Now players are half-hearted. The handsome NPC in our game is so Many, she is not sentimental at all, what can this NPC do. Manager!"

The person in charge automatically blocked eating supper, looked up at him with a pair of dead fish eyes: "Huh?"

Siege Lion said: "I'm applying to pursue this gamer girl! Can I have a look at her ID information?"

The person in charge stared at him for a while, then lowered his head and continued to eat noodles calmly.

Siege Lion: "... Manager, please! This is related to my lifelong happiness!" He clasped his hands together as a petition, "At least help me confirm my gender secretly!"

Person in charge: "In these days, if you really love you, you still care about gender? It's too dishonest."

Siege Lion: "..."

He was speechless.

When Lin Shu heard this joke, he burst out laughing.In the end, he didn't know whether the technician went after the player girl. Anyway, Xingzhe's management is strict, and the ID information is managed separately from the game system. It is definitely impossible for the other party to get the ID information.However, there must be ID numbers and game nicknames in the system data. If the other party has to go to the game to pursue the girl's character, he can't control it.

Take a chance, the possibility of the other party being a girl is quite high.

Leaving aside these messy jokes, the popularity of "Infinite Time and Space" can be said to have remained high recently.Because of the emergence of the new setting, there was another wave of game craze among the players.

Of course, there are many complaints.

According to customer service feedback recently, many players are dissatisfied with the slow increase in plot favorability.In particular, the plot favorability event has been revealed to be able to image the relationship between NPCs, which has made many players feel itchy and unbearable.

Too frequent complaints affected the judgment of the game project team, so the person in charge came to Lin Shu on this day to discuss with him whether to increase the chance of triggering plot events.

"The current trigger rate," he said after considering his words, "a bit dampens the player's enthusiasm."

Lin Shu said: "Mr. Cao, our game does not rely on this setting to attract players." There was no sense of blame in his tone, but the words were not polite, "Your customer service department often receives The various opinions fed back by the players, some opinions are reasonable, but some opinions are not reasonable. You are different from those brothers and sisters in the customer service department. no."

The person in charge was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Sorry, Mr. Lin, I don't have enough experience, why don't you tell me in detail?"

"Have you talked to Mr. Wang from the planning department?"

The person in charge said with some hesitation: "Boss Wang called me an official...but the reaction from the players was very intense, and someone came to remind me within three or two days."

Lin Shu nodded and said, "Okay. Let me tell you. Next time if you're not clear about this, you can read more about the game plan. The database is not just for display."

The person in charge was ashamed of being taught by him, but instead smirked like a junior.In terms of age, the positions of the two can be said to be completely inverted, but neither of them felt that there was any problem.

Lin Shu said: "When "Infinite Time and Space" was planned, we discussed short-term gameplay, mid-term gameplay, and long-term gameplay. Combat, management, and artificial intelligence are short-term gameplay, while character strategy and character relationship changes are mid-term. The gameplay, while traveling through time and space and the evolution of the world view, is a long-term gameplay. In this way, how much can you understand?"

The person in charge was silent for a while, as if he understood a little bit.

Lin Shu didn't wait for his answer, but continued: "If you increase the triggering probability of plot events, it is equivalent to turning the mid-term gameplay into a short-term gameplay, and using it to cover and squeeze the highlights and fun of the short-term gameplay, it will Affects the development of the entire game."

The author has something to say: Small theater "The Siege Lion Who Falls in Love with Favorability": The Siege Lion who wakes up in the morning and goes to work: Ah, the progress is 20 points higher than last night, did the girl trigger the plot event again?

The siege lion who is on the night shift at night: The data has not changed in the past two days. Did it not trigger the plot?Or is the girl busy and not online?

The siege lion who is on the night shift at night (scratches her ears): I really want to check her last online time... No, I have to hold back!Invading the player's privacy Lao Cao will definitely kill me.

The siege lion on the night shift the next day: Ah, an increase of [-] points!The girl is great!The task is triggered again.

Colleague: I said what happened to this kid?This time is very impetuous ah?

Mr. Cao: Fall in love with data.It's okay, let him go!

Colleague: I have heard of fetishists but not data fetishists!You fool, wake up!
