You are a black technology boss, you didn't say it sooner!

The counterfeit market is developing faster than Lou Qingyan imagined. He just went out to shoot the last part of his life elsewhere. When he came back, he found that the market was full of imitation Taixuan mirror products.

As more hardware products are sold, people's demand for software is also increasing.Although there are already many VR applications, compared with the growing number of VR users, it still seems stretched.

Especially in terms of games, there are too few VR games that can be played by 3Dof. Players can't wait for the game manufacturers to move all the games to the VR platform. However, even if they do, it will take time.

Under such circumstances, "The Prodigal Daughter" and "Dream Back to the Rivers and Lakes"—that is, the otome games and martial arts games released by Deep Space this time—as well as the "VR Game Master" used to make games, have gradually entered the game. in sight.

The two games have been released for a while, and it stands to reason that both have the ability to become popular, but they have not been discovered by people until now.

In the final analysis, being popular is a matter of luck, and the right time, place and people are indispensable.When the game was first released, Taixuan mirror was seriously out of stock, and there were very few players. The stepmother of Deep Space didn't even buy marketing for the two games, so they could only become "minor masterpieces".

Later, a subsidiary of Deep Space suddenly released an AI personal assistant software, which made "The Prodigal Daughter" popular.

Although Deep Space did not engage in marketing for the two games, it did not give up on the continued development of them, and paid special attention to "The Prodigal Daughter".

This game is not only used to test the buy+ shopping mall that cooperates with Taobei, but also to test a new game story mode. It is also a test base for deep space artificial intelligence voice assistants.It carries a lot of meaning and function.

The six male gods in the game could not be created overnight, let alone with text and plots, they are actually by-products of Lou Qingyan’s “Knowledge Graph Project”.

From the day when Deep Space owned a computer room, Lou Qingyan started to build the knowledge map necessary for strong artificial intelligence, and let the AI ​​trainer try to train strong artificial intelligence by the way.

After more than a year of training and testing in this way, the result obtained is a highly intelligent AI assistant, and the six male protagonists in the game evolved from it. Although "The Prodigal Daughter" is a stand-alone game, it must be played online, because behind the game are a vast number of programs and data.

Lu Xiaochan received the task of "moving word games into VR", and felt that an otome game was perfect, so "The Prodigal Daughter" project was established.On a whim, she asked Lou Qingyan if artificial intelligence could be used to develop games, and Lou Qingyan took her to see the prototype of the AI ​​assistant at that time.

So the AI ​​assistant was put into the game and became the hero.

The programmers did not forget that the six male protagonists were originally positioned as AI assistants. Seeing them chatting and teasing girls in the game, they simply built a separate AI assistant app for them.

The app has released two versions, one is a mobile client and the other is a WeChat applet.Take the applet as an example. The six programs are the names of six people. After adding them, they will enter the list of common conversations, which is no different from ordinary chats.

The functions of the AI ​​​​assistant are relatively simple, such as keeping a calendar, reminding schedules, checking in to-do items, memos, search engines...etc.The six assistants have their own unique skills, such as a painter who understands art theory, Xueba who can teach people how to solve problems, and a domineering president who can help analyze stock market information, etc.They're far worse than real people when it comes to conducting conversations, but far better than many of today's chatbots.

Of course, the biggest highlight is that these six AI assistants can tease girls.Very good, very good.

Who can not be tempted by this, so "The Prodigal Daughter" first became popular on the mobile phone.It just so happened that other brands of high-definition VR glasses were on the market at this time, and there were more and more VR users, and games became popular along the way.

After actually playing it, people found that the game seemed simple, but it was actually incredibly rich.

"This is a strategy game in otome skin!"

Countless players agree with this sentence.

After playing it, I realized that the spending and investment in the game are not random settings, but a way of allocating money resources.You must know that the fundamental idea of ​​strategy games is to grab more resources by allocating resources.

At the beginning of the game, the only source of money for the player is a start-up fund and the pocket money that his father deposits into the account every month.

All the interactive things in the game can be bought, but in the early stage, you must curb your desire to shop, and first invest funds in financial products to expand your source of income.If you spend too much in the early stage and fail to complete the shopping task in the middle term, you will be forced to go bankrupt.

What's amazing is that this game perfectly combines the strategy line and the plot line.We must know that strategy games are mostly short-term, a game can be several days or a few hours, and story games are long-term experiences. The two are inherently incompatible.

But in "The Prodigal Daughter", the heroine has received "unconditional support from her own father". No matter how many times she goes bankrupt, she can regain the start-up capital and pocket money and start all over again.

Players can also take the initiative to file for bankruptcy. Each bankruptcy is equivalent to starting a new game. At the same time, the plot line remains the same.

In the last game, the heroine’s investment has changed some companies and markets, for example, the valuation of company A has changed, the policy of company B has changed, and the market share of C has changed, but these are randomly generated, and the system Several rounds of evolution will be carried out on the basis of the previous game, creating a new beginning for the heroine.

There are many areas in the city that are invested and developed by the heroine. After the next game starts, the developed areas will gradually be abandoned and return to their previous appearance.

There is actually no need to combine the two gameplays, because there are two groups of people who like strategy games and plot games, and if they are not careful, they will end up displeased by both sides.

But "Prodigal Girl" balances the two very well. It has not forgotten that it is always an otome story game, and strategy is just an additional attribute.Therefore, it makes the strategy game playable. Players can be obsessed with their careers, or they can only complete the most basic operations and concentrate on the plot.

Speaking of which, the addition of strategic gameplay is only because of Lu Xiaochan's reluctance.

At the beginning, the game was purely based on visual novels, but halfway through, Lu Xiaochan felt that it was a waste of her team, so she simply inserted the framework of a simulation investment game that had not been completed before.In the middle of this, Taobei brought buy+ to cooperate, so the simulated shopping elements were added to the game, and she completely refurbished the strategy gameplay for this.

"Prodigal Daughter" is still a plot game in essence, but its strategy gameplay is too successful.

The framework comes from the project carefully polished by Lu Xiaochan's team. The technology includes the cooperation between Deep Space and Taobei. Most importantly, its algorithm embodies the essence of deep space artificial intelligence technology.

It uses a set of algorithms called "AI evolution system" to process information, and uses "AI intelligent loading" to judge player movements and load and delete resources in a timely manner. Every trading subject in the strategy game has experienced strong or weak artificial intelligence training , because it can give smarter, more realistic, and more complex responses... and all of this happens in the cloud, and the amount of resources on the client side is very small.

How successful is the strategic gameplay of this game?

Just look at Yang Gang and know now.

He was sitting on the sofa with his wife, each of them was wearing a Taixuan mirror, and they were logging into the same game. He was slamming Fang Qiu in the capital market, and his wife was shopping in the buy+ shopping mall.

... He agreed not to let his wife play it, because he couldn't bear to pick it up to play, and his wife grabbed his foot and hurt his feet, "You are a big man playing otome games!"... So the two happily reached an agreement.

Countless similar situations are happening in every corner of this land...

In addition to "a strategy game in otome skin", the most common sentence people say about "The Prodigal Daughter" is——

"Fun is really fun, but you have to take the risk of bending over."

Girls affectionately call it "Rich Wife Simulator".

Boys affectionately call it the "Bending Simulator".

It's true love to play even at the risk of being broken!

The game time is settled on a weekly basis. Every time a new week starts, girls will choose to "go to school" or "go to the shopping mall" to meet someone or buy something.Boys don't follow the plot, and directly choose "go to the company" or "go to the exchange".

The problem is that this game remembers too much that it is actually an otome game. If you haven't contacted the little brother for a long time, the little brother will take the initiative to find you.

For this reason, the boys took the initiative to risk themselves and developed a set of "anti-wolf strategies".

"To prevent being gay, first you have to choose a boyfriend. After you have a stable boyfriend, the probability of other characters actively gaying you will decrease."

"About the choice of this stable boyfriend, ahem, after I tried them one by one, I found that each of the six has its own strengths. The painter is sensitive and quiet, and there are relatively few gay people; celebrities, presidents, and seniors all have data bonuses to the strategy line; little wolf dog It is very gay, but it is also the easiest to catch; the bamboo horse is more balanced, the gay style is not too hot, and there is such a little data bonus.”

"Then let's talk about how to catch up with him. It's actually very simple. Once you have a good impression, you can start a dating relationship by clicking the confession. If you are tired and want to change, remember to choose a peaceful breakup when you click Breakup, otherwise he will harass you every day. You. The favorability value in this game is hidden, and there will be situations where the confession is unsuccessful. I have also encountered a few times when the favorability is too high, and the other party actively confesses. It's too difficult...fucking gay people who come here every day and still don't agree to confess, what are you doing...So in fact, the little wolf dog is a good choice, he is really easy to chase."

"The strategy for increasing favorability is as follows..."

This was originally a Zhihu answer, which was reposted in various ways, and it was recognized as the earliest and most complete strategy.

Under the boy's answer, countless girls expressed their gratitude: "Answer to the Lord, a good man will have a safe life."

The respondent added: "Don't trust the strategy too much, the plot mode of this game is too perverted, even if you have a strategy, you may not be able to successfully catch up with people. I'm currently studying the plot line, and I will explain it in detail another day... Damn, why do I understand so well."

Countless people are studying the plot line of "The Prodigal Daughter".

"Compared to the overly successful strategy gameplay, the plot gameplay of this game is not inferior."

"It's not inferior...it's shocking."
