Reborn to create a virtual world

The charging model of the future platform is almost always charged according to the type of module, content and text volume. Generally, what is sold is the module or the plot itself, not the props or others.

This kind of consumption is relatively fair. Although there are occasional good modules that charge slightly higher fees, generally speaking, it is based on the quality of the modules, not the scarcity.

This behavior of Fetion has actually triggered a major minefield of the open engine, but they have not realized it yet.The biggest feature of open platforms is that they never lack story plots or module functions, because the meaning of openness means that new plots, modules, and character settings will be continuously developed. There is no plot or module. irreplaceable.

Fetion has not yet figured out exactly what they are selling.

But this didn't do any harm to Lin Shu - he would definitely like to hear that his opponent wanted to die.

And during this process, Xingze himself was not idle.Generally, during the winter vacation, all kinds of online games, large and small, will have activities. Although the original game platforms are not online games, the audiences they face are not very different in nature, so there must be some heavyweights at this time. of activities.

This time, the future platform launched a heavyweight work in cooperation with Jinjiang to buy the copyright-"A Thousand Houses in Darkness".

Compared with "Mysterious Man", "Misty Rain and Darkness" has a big gap in popularity and influence.However, works like "The Mysterious Man" do not appear casually, even on the Kuaishu main website, they also need opportunities.Even the author himself has not always been able to write works of this level.

Although "Misty Rain and Darkness" may be a bit inferior in adapting games, it naturally has its own charm.Its characterization is equally vivid and charming.At the same time, as a work that pays equal attention to farming and stratagem, the author's writing style is quite lively and amusing, which makes the whole story vivid and atmospheric.

So it is also very suitable as an adaptation.

Compared with the quick success and quick profit of Fetion games, the eagerness to make money, the future platform is obviously much more stable.This new plot module restores the original work to the greatest extent, but opens up more plot branches. After referring to the author's own opinion, it describes some behind-the-scenes stories that are not described in many novels.

Du Sitong and Yuyin have worked together for a long time, and even designed a new plot line and follow-up story for "Misty Rain and Dark Thousands" that did not appear in the original work.This makes the whole mod quite worth exploring.

Although some male players complained that this time it was a female-oriented work, Yuyin’s work does not actually focus on love, but always describes the farming, strategy, war and human history in the background of the story, so it is like Such a protagonist (originally as the heroine, the module is open to setting, allowing the choice of men and women) grows and matures in the historical tide, runs the family, seeks survival and achievements in the court, and finally fights north and south to ascend to the throne. , No one really refuses to try.

——One more difference from the original work is that compared with the original work, it pays more attention to the possibility of history, which makes the heroine unable to ascend the throne. After discussing with Yuyin, Du Sitong and Yuyin released this restriction in the game.

"A Thousand Houses in the Darkness" is simply a sincere work compared to the "Mysterious Man" that cheated money.The evaluation of these two games on major websites has gradually widened the gap over time. "Misty Rain and Darkness" has a high rating of 9.2 on this site, while "Mysterious Man" has been fluctuating between [-] and [-] points in Fetion. Countless players complained that the game is too expensive and has many bugs. Not in place Wait...

However, regardless of the reviews, the two games that appeared during the winter vacation performed extremely well in terms of sales and influence.Xingzhe's sales exploded once again, and Fetion took advantage of the boom to make a fortune, earning a lot of money.

However, regardless of the company's situation, Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng, as students, have already ushered in the winter vacation.

However, as children, the two had a busier winter vacation than the average adult.

With Ju Mingfeng's temperament, normally speaking, this child should have been irritable long ago.But in reality, he is unusually hard-working, he is so busy that he has not complained, and has been working conscientiously and diligently.

Zheng Fangcheng wondered if he was sick.

However, he didn't know that Ju Mingfeng was going all out to stay with Lin Shu during the winter vacation.Thinking about it in a normal way, even if a child is studying in a foreign city, he should go back to his parents when the winter and summer vacations come, right?

For Ju Mingfeng, going back to his parents meant that he would not see Lin Shu for most of the winter vacation.And he doesn't have much in common with his parents—Cui Wenxin is better, but even if it's her, Ju Mingfeng doesn't have many gossips to chat with her. When the mother knocked her head into a mentally handicapped.

This alone makes him prefer to be busy for half of the winter vacation and then go back to visit his mother a few times a week to be a filial piety.

On the contrary, even if he is busy in the west of the lake, he is busy with Lin Shu.Ju Mingfeng has been in a state of love all year round, and he can eat three bowls of plain rice with Lin Shu—this kind of relationship is called infatuation at a good level, and a moron at a bad level.

The idiot said that being busy with his wife is also cute.

With this in mind, Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng started the research and development of the new engine during the winter vacation.

Not long after the winter vacation started, the technical department invited a group of models to Xingze to help with modeling.The identities of this group of models are diverse, including professional dancers, professional martial arts practitioners, some children and the elderly—in addition, there are also some expert assistants with very special identities—some Surgeon and professional model "cadaver mannequin" at the university.

This is actually quite a bold approach.In order to invite these models, Xing Ze went through a lot of approval procedures.Seeing the bloody autopsy scene, the group of weak chickens in the technical department almost panicked, and some even didn't sleep well for several nights, and came to work with dark circles on their faces.

On the contrary, it was Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng's performance that shocked many people.

Just like that, the two children held a high-definition camera and a high-definition video camera each, and focused on shooting the scene, never missing a shot or a second of texture change.

In fact, Lin Shu had already experienced this scene in his previous life.

At present, there are very few game companies in China that do this kind of research and build 3D models from the perspective of human body structure.But as time goes by, the accuracy of 3D images is getting higher and higher, and the movements are getting more and more refined. Such a step will eventually become a step that every company will go through.

Especially when plane games developed into virtual and full-reality games later, what people saw at that time was a portrait model that was the same size as themselves and everything was close to reality.At this time, any gap and sense of disobedience with reality will be clearly revealed.And if the modeling does not involve the internal structure of the human body, but only stays on the outer shell, then this game will have a strong sense of violation.

Of course, the situation has not yet reached that point.Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng just took that first step, intending to let the current batch of artists and technicians understand the texture and texture of the human body structure and texture in advance, and then start from the flat 3D picture, and gradually learn how to make the character model Make it more realistic and vivid, and step by step lay the foundation for the construction of character models for future virtual full-reality games.

While the two children were concentrating on filming such scenes, the two adults behind them almost collapsed psychologically.Du Sitong tried to stop the two but failed. Zheng Fangcheng felt that he might be chopped up by Cui Wenxin and thrown into Longmen Bay in two days.

He leaned against the door and said to Du Sitong: "...Before I die, there is something I must tell you."

Du Sitong was shocked by his heavy tone, and said, "...Huh?"

Zheng Fangcheng said: "When you went to Yanjing, you brought 800 yuan of cosmetics to Bai Miao, but you brought me a doll worth [-] yuan. Is there any humanity?"

Du Sitong: "..."

She asked: "Then I will bring you 800 yuan of cosmetics next time?...Do you use cosmetics?"

The character modeling of the new engine is very fine. Compared with the current general 3D games, Lin Shu has high requirements in terms of detail performance, smooth movement and aesthetics.

He even emphasized some very strange requirements to Du Sitong, asking Du Sitong to arrange an additional costume designer in the new engine's art personnel arrangement.

Regarding this point, Lin Shu explained: "Nowadays, many 3D online games have very strange aesthetics in clothing, either because they show too much, or they think that the clothes are very beautiful with a lot of decorations on them, and the patterns are complicated. It's not coordinated at all. In the main game of our new engine, I hope that this situation will not appear as much as possible."

Du Sitong said: "I think it's good to design according to the general situation, and there is no need to hire a costume designer..."

But Lin Shu said: "No, it is still necessary. Clothing affects the visual effect very much. If I don't hire a fashion designer, I hope that the final costume can be reviewed by a professional designer before starting to design. In essence, I hope that our Artists don’t design clothes that go beyond common sense...that’s our future style orientation.”

Du Sitong thought about it, and originally wanted to ask what was the significance of such a style positioning, but after thinking about it, he still felt that clothes that were more in line with common sense looked more pleasing to the eye, so he didn't ask any more.

In fact, she didn't know that Lin Shu's "general knowledge" and "style positioning" were actually preparations for the future development of virtual online games.Lin Shu's current research and development goals for most of the high-tech are for virtual online games—or in other words, preparations for virtual networks.

In the era of virtual networks, people will not only see the game clothes with their eyes, but also feel the existence of these clothes with their own body.In this case, too weird design will only lead to offensive or uncomfortable results.

At that time, the intervention of a real fashion designer is a reasonable thing.

In addition to human body modeling, another technology that Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng are focusing on is the test of voice recognition control.

Regarding the technology of speech recognition control, both Zhou Fan and Bai Chiwen have already studied it before. Zhou Fan even has some research data, which he accumulated after spending a lot of time in school and after work.Because the work of the previous page game programmers is still relatively busy, Zhou Fan's progress is relatively slow, and the specific content is only a semi-finished product, but it is still more useful for Xingze, who is still poor and useless in this regard.

After all, it was Zhou Fan's research result. After discussing with the local government, Lin Shu bought the result at a reasonable internal price.Subsequent research was still carried out by Zhou Fan, Bai Chiwen and others, but the patent rights clearly belonged to the company.

Since Zhou Fan's research is basically a semi-finished product that has not applied for a patent, Lin Shu did not remunerate him in the form of a patent right, but directly exchanged it with Zhou Fan as a bonus and distributed it to him.This saves part of the formalities, and at the same time enables both parties to obtain their due returns.

Zhou Fan and Bai Chiwen didn't get along very well at the beginning, it was because Bai Chiwen was a little too jumpy and heartless.But recently Zhou Fan seems to have mastered the law of animal taming - the secret to taming Bai Chiwen lies entirely in the content and method of feeding.

Even relying on Zhou Fan's secret recipe, Bai Miao has successfully trained Bai Chiwen to call her sister, and finally made this little bastard change his mouth and stop calling her by her real name on Yu Cindy's painful feet.

However, compared to Bai Chiwen's personality flaws, his professional ability is still worthy of attention.Zhou Fan soon discovered that this new colleague, who was still an intern, had an astonishingly good acumen for related technologies and problem-solving judgment.For many problems, he gnawed on the chocolate and stared at them for a long time, and he was often able to quickly find a solution.

The premise is to ignore the dirty snack crumbs and sauce chocolate foam on the scratch paper and keyboard.

Bai Miao felt strange: "You go to work all day, eat and write programs after get off work, and have candy in your mouth from beginning to end. Where did the meat go?"

Bai Chiwen was stunned for a moment, and then asked with a sly smile, "Sister, have you gained weight recently? You've been dieting every day and gaining weight, are you envious and jealous?"

After being taught a lesson by Bai Miao, he said aggrievedly: "...Maybe it's because you spend a lot of time at work?"

Bai Miao didn't see where his usual work took a lot of brains, but it was true that Bai Chiwen was clean and efficient, and he was indeed a top student of Yanda University.

It is said that he was still the second place in the province during the college entrance examination, which shows that his brain is easy to use.However, Bai Miao felt that most of the nutrition that he should give to EQ was given to IQ, so he was able to speak every day without being beaten.

In any case, with the cooperation of Zhou Fan, Bai Chiwen and a group of technicians, a simple voice recognition control system can be said to have begun to take shape.

It will definitely take a long time to create a complete speech recognition control system, but what Lin Shu requested to use in the game is only a relatively simple and rough prototype of the speech recognition control system.

It only needs to do a few steps, that is, the recognition of the names of some skills and moves, and the recognition of some basic character action commands.

At present, Xingzhe only makes simple program modules.Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng respectively took the wireless microphones handed over by Zhou Fan and pinned them to their collars, then looked at the computer screen wall for display.

There are currently five TV wall screens in Xingze's demonstration hall, two of which are hung above and three of which are hung below.Currently, Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng are using the two TV walls above.

At this time, there is a figure standing in the center of the two screens. On the left is a heroine in a red skirt with a spring face, and on the right is an elegant young man in a Confucian shirt.

The character on the left belongs to Ju Mingfeng, and the character on the right is currently controlled by Lin Shu. The two characters are actually in the same program and the same screen, but from different perspectives.

Zhou Fan said: "At present, we can only distinguish some simple commands and common sentence patterns. We have made some skill commands and related actions tentatively. This is the skill list. Boss, you can try them one by one to see if there are any omissions. , or have any relevant suggestions."

Lin Shu said, "OK, let's try."

He glanced at the skill list, and then said, "Fan all the peach blossoms."

I saw the scholar on the screen open his folding fan, and with a flick of his wrist, the fan attacked the chivalrous woman like a blade.Ju Mingfeng answered casually: "The sword points to Xuanhuang."

Then I saw the sword of the chivalrous woman, like a frightened bird leading to the moon, brought out a jade-white streamer, and went straight to the scholar.

Lin Shu quickly answered, "Block!"

The scholar suddenly retracted the folding fan, and then blocked it in front of himself.A big "block" flashed in the center of the screen, and then the chivalrous woman's sword was blocked in front of the scholar.Ju Mingfeng said: "Take the sword away."

Xia Nu suddenly jumped back to the place where she was standing at first, and then sheathed her sword.

The moves of the scholar and the chivalrous woman are actually a little blunt, but this is not the part that Zhou Fan is in charge of, so don't worry too much about it.After spending more time in the later period, the characters or movements must be finely crafted, and Lin Shu has no doubts about this.

Seeing that the two had tried the moves, Zhou Fan asked them to try their reactions to daily conversations.He said: "General common conversational phrases are recognizable, such as 'hello', 'good morning', 'So-and-so is polite'...etc. We input most of the common conversational phrases, which basically contain All the dialogues we can think of that are suitable for triggering actions. Of course, due to the limited time, I think the content may not be very comprehensive, and we may need to improve it slowly. But bosses, you can try it first. If you find something Any omissions can just be written down, and you can go back and continue to improve.”

Lin Shu listened, nodded, and said, "Okay."

Then he turned his head and continued to look at the screen, thought for a while, and said, "Girl, good day."

Then I saw the scholar on the screen making a bow to the chivalrous woman.

Seeing this, Ju Mingfeng thought it was quite amusing, so he pretended to be a loli in a soft voice, and said into the microphone, "...you are being polite, my lord."

Then I saw the chivalrous woman put her hands on her front abdomen, bowed back and saluted.

Lin Shu thought for a while, but said, "Miss, please sit down."

The scholar on the screen made a "please" gesture first, and then sat down by himself.

Ju Mingfeng replied: "Thank you, my lord. It's better to be respectful as a concubine."

When Lin Shu invited the chivalrous woman to sit down, the screen from the chivalrous woman's perspective automatically popped up a prompt box saying "someone invited you to sit down, do you agree?" She bowed, and then she replied "It's better to obey than to be respectful", and the "Agree" option on the prompt box flashed a blue light, and the chivalrous woman sat down automatically.

Up to this point, Lin Shu feels that the various settings are relatively in line with his expectations, and there is no problem.Afterwards, the two tried some other interactions. Except for a few interactions that had bugs and needed to be corrected, which were recorded by Zhou Fan, most of the voice recognition and intelligent responses were relatively natural and smooth, without any problems.

In the end, Lin Shu asked Zhou Fan: "How is the ability to recognize some accents? Considering that users in many places may have serious accents, the recognition ability in this area still needs to be strengthened."

Zhou Fan thought for a while and said, "I haven't thought much about it. Let me think about it...how about I discuss the solution with you, the boss?"

Lin Shu said: "This is quite important, you should think about the countermeasures."

Nothing happened in the few days after the test. Even the conflict with Fetion was temporarily eased and let go. It seems that the two companies have entered the winter break like some teams. Everyone began to curl up in the windshield team Li began to recuperate.

However, another thing happened in Jinjiang, that is, Jinjiang, taking advantage of the popularity of the game, "Misty Rain and Darkness" has already signed for publication, and even started to talk about film and television copyright.

In addition to "Misty Rain and Darkness", there are works in the previous essay competition that have been signed out for publication and film and television copyright, or because the author has written very well, and just in order to cater to the theme of the essay competition, the writing is more healthy and upward. It is more in line with the theme of PG, so it was immediately favored by publishing companies and film and television companies.

This kind of news is undoubtedly shocking, so soon a group of authors and readers flooded into Jinjiang.Among these authors, there are quite a few male writers, and some of them are quite unknown, so Vice President Liu couldn't help but start to hesitate whether to open another male frequency sub-station.

But in any case, the heyday of the situation is ready to go.

Although the strengths of Kuaishu and Fetion are still firmly on the heads of the first two cooperative websites, the good situation inevitably makes everyone temporarily ignore these unhappy things, and then focus on the happy ones. things up.

Then, in such a joyful atmosphere, the New Year is approaching step by step.On the streets of Huxi City, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival is already very strong. There are firecrackers everywhere from time to time. An unchanging heavy breath.

Chinese New Year is approaching.

For most people in Xingzhe, this Spring Festival was almost caught off guard - as if they were still busy, they suddenly looked up, only to find that the new year had arrived without invitation.
