The strongest game producer

Xiao Gou wasn't joking, he was really planning to play a parkour mobile game Leaping Arkham.But now seeing everyone's enthusiasm, it seems that if he plays this game, he will come to the Red Dog to sit down and demonstrate collectively, Xiao Gou is still scared.

He sold this idea to Bacheng and let Bacheng do it for fun.Anyway, Bacheng is the first manufacturer of parkour mobile games in Huaguo. They are very familiar with this, and they have thick skins. As long as players are willing to buy it, what's the point of being scolded?

As expected, Mr. Tang was very happy to buy the copyright of Feiyue Arkham, and said that he could continue to cooperate.At the same time, Mr. Tang took out the new holographic game that Bacheng has devoted himself to this time, and asked Xiao Gou to taste it.

It is not the first time Mr. Tang has done such a shameless thing as letting a commercial competitor taste a new game that has not yet been released to the public.Probably Xiao Gou's connivance gave him courage every time, and Tang Kangtai came to the door with a cheeky face once.

Xiao Gou actually wanted to refuse.If he says it's fun, but the market doesn't think highly of it, he can't bear the responsibility.However, Tang Kangtai will always come up with a corresponding benefit exchange that Xiao Gou thinks is very cost-effective, and after the game is released, it will not reveal that it is a game reviewed by Xiao Gou to hype it. After discussing with Qiao Hong, Xiao Gou and Qiao Hong occasionally see If you are interested in a game, go ahead and play it.

Xiao Gou is very interested in this game.Xiao Gou originally planned to make this kind of game, but there are too many games that he wants to make, so he hasn't been ranked yet.

According to the game designer brought by Mr. Tang, he came up with the idea from "Endless Survival".However, Bacheng's technology directly allows so many people to "survive" with one map. It is a bit too much, and now there are many games that imitate "Endless Survival" at home and abroad, and it may not be possible to gain much by simply following the trend.

This game designer thought of combining horror games and escape games, which Bacheng is good at now, to create a new team "survival" game. Players play the role of a murderer and a survivor, competing on a map. .

As soon as Xiao Gou heard it, he understood that this was the game of "killing chickens" where justice was relatively high in the previous life. The game of "Killing Chicken" is the homonym of the last two words of "Killer by Daylight".This kind of game is called an "asymmetric" game, because the strength of the opposing players on both sides is not equal, and one side kills the other in seconds.Some Chinese players joked that this is a game of eagles and chickens.

"Chicken Killing" games generally set a map similar to horror games, but players act as "monsters" and find "survivors" played by the remaining players.

"Death by Daylight" is not the first "asymmetrical" game. The No.2015 shooting game "Evolution" in 1, players can play monsters and hunters respectively. The "asymmetrical" game concept has matured; later games such as "Death Realm" introduced this gameplay into horror. Survival game.The reason why this kind of game is called "Killing Chicken" by domestic players is because it is the first asymmetrical game that has become popular among gamers in China.

"Dead by Daylight" can be said to be a dark horse in the game industry back then. Unfortunately, "Dead by Daylight" also has the common shortcomings of these already cold games, that is, because of the game balance problem, the replayability is not high.

An "asymmetric game" is actually just an asymmetry of combat power, but the winning rules and gameplay of the game will tend to one side, resulting in "substantial fairness" for players on both sides.However, as long as the survivors in "Dead by Daylight" are a little familiar with the game and have learned enough skills, they can use their broad vision and useful skills to play the butcher around. Players playing as Survivors cannot be chased.Even the survivors don't need to cooperate at all, they just need to use their skills to escape their own lives.In the end, the poor butcher foolishly wandered around the map, without catching any survivors, and the game was over.

Survivors can't feel the thrill of terror, butchers can't feel the thrill of chasing and killing players, and the teamwork that is the main focus of the game at the beginning doesn't exist at all. We are as cold.

Xiao Gou just considered the problem of low replayability of the "Killing Chicken" game, and didn't come up with a solution for a while, so he listed the plan for this type of game at the end.

Since Bacheng intends to develop it, and someone makes this type of game for him to play, Xiao Gou is happy to give up this plan, and is too lazy to use his brain.

Xiao Gou took a look at Bacheng's new game, and found that Bacheng's game also had the same problems as "Death by Daylight". The question on krypton gold also said a little bit.Looking at the pensive look of the game designer of Bacheng, Xiao Gou thought, maybe Bacheng can make a good game.In this way, other good games will gradually appear in Huaguo's game industry, and the Red Dog family will not be the only one to take the lead.

……

There are more and more players unlocking new characters of Gotham. As players play the role of Robin and Batgirl for a generation, they know more and more about the dark side and bright side of Gotham. Share the atmosphere of "the man with cat ears is really fragrant".The posters who said at the beginning that "the cat-eared man is a funny and illogical character designed by Red Dog" bowed down under Batman's trouser legs one after another, followed Ah Fu and shouted "Master, Master", obsessed with the perspective of ghosts every day There are more and more idiots and idiots watching Batman prpr, which is simply indecent.

Suffering and hating deeply, he finally decided to save his lover selfishly, but was plotted by the clown, saving his rival, who died tragically, and the rival went crazy, so he had a strong psychological shadow, Batman who locked up all his personal feelings, It makes a group of players who are overflowing with love want to cross immediately, carry a Goldfinger as thick as a cannon, give Batman a hug of love, and blast all those who oppose Batman into scum with the Goldfinger cannon—— Although there is a high probability that they will be caught by their beloved master and throw Arkham and Ugly as companions.

With the hot sales of Gotham City, Red Dog's "superhero" IP plan was launched.Seeing that there are more and more IPs owned by Red Dog, and that Red Dog already has enough manpower, Xiao Gou and Qiao Hong decided to subdivide Red Dog's personnel again. In addition to independent studios, they increased the staff responsible for a certain independent IP. , or a department with an independent world view, such as a unified oriental fantasy world view including fairy sword, prehistoric weapon, spirit, etc., and a western superhero world view. This type of world with the same world view can produce many works that echo each other in the same series. How to operate it depends on Red Dog. How did the staff pass their brains to the two of them.

Red Dog will also seek copyright cooperation to make these world novels into animation and film, so that more people can know. This depends on Qiao Hong, Xiao Gou only knows how to make games.

Qiao Hong is doing all the troublesome things, and now Xiao Gou is thinking about a new game.

Now he is very troubled.The sales of Red Dog glasses soared when Red Dog was in the limelight in the world before. The serial tasks that I thought would take a long time to complete, now the progress bar "biu" soared to the end.Xiao Gou guessed that the new server or holographic device technology did not appear, and the system rewarded him with an artificial intelligence program.

Speaking of artificial intelligence seems to be awesome, but this artificial intelligence is not very awesome.Artificial intelligence is not the same concept as supercomputers.For example, Xiao Gou's so-called artificial intelligence program that was able to win the Go championship in his previous life is actually a "program" rather than "intelligence" in the eyes of insiders.Go can be played by "calculation". Humans can't win against the so-called "artificial intelligence" because the computing power of the human brain is not as strong as that of a computer. After a computer has a strong computing power, it can instantly calculate the possibility of different chess moves. How does the brain compare?

A master of mathematics once said that the "prophecy" in many industries is actually a mathematical problem.

But do you think people can't compare to these computers?Computers are invented by people.

The "artificial intelligence" pursued by human beings is actually "blasphemy" at the religious level - human beings want to use themselves to "edit" life.Life is different from computers. Computers are ordered, but many behaviors of "life" are disordered.The simplest "life" behavior is biological instinct.For example, the survival instinct, some animals will be frightened, some animals will turn around and run, and some animals will not be cowardly or reckless. These "personalities" can only be simulated by the "probability" edited by humans. , but I can't make a decision by myself. "It" has no self-awareness.

The artificial intelligence in Xiao Gou's hands is not a supercomputer, it can only be regarded as super mentally retarded, but it already has biological instincts.The instructions say that it grows to its peak, about the IQ of a one-year-old child.Xiao Gou only knows how to make it "born", but in the end it "grows" by itself and the "environment", just like a real creature, you can't know what its future will be when it is born.

As soon as Xiao Gou saw this artificial intelligence, a series of game names popped up in his head, and then a series of movies about artificial intelligence destroying the world popped up.

Even if it is unlikely that a one-year-old baby will destroy the world, who knows if these artificial intelligences will "bang" and "code mutation" and become a high-IQ anti-social person, Ultron or something?

Even though the system assured him that this artificial intelligence does not have the ability to self-evolve, Xiao Gou was still very worried. Was it because the system tempted him to open Pandora's box? The human world is gone.

Even though the system gave him a mandatory task, and if he failed to meet the deadline, he had to change his name from Xiao Gou to Dog Belt, but Xiao Gou had already made up his mind to sacrifice his life for righteousness, and began to think about how to write a suicide note, persuading Da Qiao to think about it, and to use it later. Treat Red Dog as their child, don't even think about following him.

No matter what, Xiao Gou will never be a sinner of mankind.

After Xiao Gou had made up his mind, he told Qiao Hong about the matter.He didn't disclose anything about the system, he only said that he got an artificial intelligence with an IQ of a one-year-old child, and it had to be made into a game.But he is afraid that artificial intelligence will self-evolve and destroy the world, so he doesn't want to do it.

He didn't say that he would die, but he was going to ask Qiao Hong to hand over the artificial intelligence to the country.Although he will not make it into a game, this technology is being researched by all countries, which should allow the country to lead the world in this regard.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Hong looked at him with very puzzled eyes: "Don't you usually read the news?"

Xiao Gou was full of question marks: "What news?"

"Artificial intelligence with biological instincts has been researched a long time ago, but because it can't produce economic benefits, it is only researched in major research institutions and has no civilian use." Qiao Hong said, "Aren't you from the computer department? You don't know about this ?”

Xiao Gou: "...that's not written in the textbook."

Qiao Hong thought for a while and said, "That's right, undergraduates haven't chosen a research direction yet, so maybe they didn't know about it if they didn't pay attention."

Xiao Gou was aggrieved: "I have never seen anyone who won an award for researching artificial intelligence."

Qiao Hong said: "Why do you still need to win prizes for researching this?"

Xiao Gou: "..."

He didn't know how to answer.Isn't this a cross-age technology?Xiao Gou felt that his previous struggles had been fed to the dog. If the system had self-awareness, it would probably have laughed at him.

Xiao Gou was as wilted as if a rubber ball had been punctured. He leaned against Qiao Hong and said weakly, "I thought I would create something that could change the world, but it turned out to be so bad?"

Qiao Hong comforted: "It's not a bad street, only a few countries have such technology. There is still research value."

Xiao Gou couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Well, since the country doesn't need it, I'll make it a game."

Qiao Hong thought for a while and said, "Using it in games? That's a good idea. Do you want to upgrade the intelligence of the pets in the Red Dog's home? So that they can really accompany the players. In fact, some scientists have always suggested that these artificial intelligences can be used in Mechanical pets, but the plan failed after a short period of time. Compared with cold machines, with the same IQ, why don’t humans choose living creatures? And it’s cheaper.”

"Yeah, yeah, no one thought about using this for holographic games before. After all, everyone only needs Chuchu. An artificial intelligence is so expensive, it's not cost-effective to buy it from a scientific research institution; there's no need for game companies to research this themselves. Do you think it will be a problem if I suddenly come up with an artificial intelligence now?" Xiao Gou asked, he knew that Qiao Hong was very sensitive to this kind of thing, and Qiao Hong said it was okay if there was no problem.

Qiao Hong said without hesitation: "No problem. Because the original artificial intelligence with biological instincts was created by young people. Because of the accident of birth, the current artificial intelligence with biological instincts has no way to continue to improve IQ. If your AI can't improve IQ on its own, then that's fine."

"Then I'd better submit it first and let them study it." Xiao Gou said.

Qiao Hong nodded.

When Xiao Gou handed over the technology, there was no reaction from above.It seems that although you don't know about this technology without deliberately searching, after searching, there are many geniuses who tinker with similar things by themselves.Xiao Gou can make such an awesome game designer and server, what is an artificial retarded person?

However, the research institute expressed regret that although this artificial mental retardation is different from the programming methods of several artificial mental retardation in their research institute, it also solidified the upper limit of IQ. Even if you can learn by yourself, the achievement is just like you teach cats and dogs at home .

However, they are very supportive of Xiao Gou's use of Xiao Gou's artificial mental retardation in games.All countries are studying artificial mental retardation, no, is the learning and emotion of artificial intelligence really the same as that of living beings, but the samples they can obtain are few.Although mechanical pets have been made before, they are not popular. The number of samples that everyone can get is too small, and the cost is too high.

Originally, some young people suggested making mobile pets or something, but apparently the pets on the screen are sometimes not as attractive as people imagined, and they failed to be promoted in the end.

If it is made into a holographic game, then the samples they can collect are enough.To this end, they hope to cooperate with Red Dog to share technology.They don't want money, they just need the information provided by Red Dog for their analysis.

Xiao Gou readily agreed.

After communicating with the leaders in these research fields, Xiao Gou also got a piece of good news.Huaguo has made new breakthroughs in the field of holographic games, and now players can have stronger five senses in holographic games.The upgraded five senses are still slightly weaker than reality, but it is an indisputable fact that the virtual world is becoming more and more "real".Now the limit of this technological improvement lies in the hardware. At present, scientists have not experimented with materials that can transmit "spiritual signals" more sensitively.

This new technology is also mastered by research institutes that study artificial intelligence.They exchanged this technology for the "test data" of artificial mental retardation in Xiao Gou's game.Moreover, this technology can also recover data when it is made into a game.

The two hit it off.After discussing with the research leaders, Xiao Gou thought that he has done too many fighting games recently, and should make a light one, such as Pokemon, which would be good.Waiting for this data recovery, the bosses will make more powerful artificial mental retardation, and then we will make confrontation games such as Monster Hunter.Now the poor little mentally handicapped can only be chased and beaten by players, and can't bring out the essence of monster hunter/human at all. It would be no fun to really become a monster/hunter.

Moreover, Xiao Gou also considered the strong voices of many minors.They think that Red Dog pays too much attention to the adult market and controls minors at every turn, so can't they make a game that minors can play freely?Some Red Dog players with children also sighed. Except Hong Huang and Nuan Nuan, most of Red Dog's games are about fighting and killing. Even Hong Huang is very bloody and not very friendly to children.As for Nuan Nuan, girls like it, but boys may not necessarily like it, and Nuan Nuan is just a mobile game.It would be great if Xiao Gou could make casual holographic games that both children and adults like to play.

However, this kind of opinion is very small. In order to make money, holographic game manufacturers generally do not consider making "education games for children", and a game that meets the needs of both children and adults is really too nerve-wracking.

Now that there are Red Dog Glasses, many puzzle games have been put on the semi-virtual platform of Red Dog Glasses. The needs of this kind of people seem to be met. This kind of voice has gradually diminished, but Xiao Gou still remembers it.

A game suitable for all ages, although there is confrontation but not bloody, how suitable is Pokemon?Lao Ren's Pokemon was originally made for young children to play, although there are definitely more adult players than young children.Xiao Gou has long wanted to make a Pokemon game, but he hasn't figured out how to make it.

Should it be a holographic game for handhelds that can take risks in different worlds, or a game exclusively for red dog glasses like Pokemon GO of a certain company?Perhaps, both can have?

Now with the artificial mental retardation and the support of the bosses, Xiao Gou decided that holographic games are of course to be done.If you don't make holographic games, you will waste the new holographic technology given by the boss.With the deepening of the five senses, players can play their own cute Pokemon to their heart's content in the holographic game. This kind of temptation is unbearable for those who love pets.

You don't like pets, but you can masturbate powerful creatures like dragons and tigers. This kind of temptation is hard for ordinary people to refuse.

The semi-virtual Pokemon GO exclusive to Red Dog can also be launched, just as a supplement to the holographic version of Pokemon.The Pokemon in the holographic world ran out from the cracks in time and space, and were pitifully helpless and innocent in the real world, waiting for the "trainers" to send them back to the original world. The bad things that Pokemon do in reality, this may be higher than aimlessly looking for Pokemon to recover?

Of course, players wearing red dog glasses can also compete with Pokemon in "reality". The number of Pokemon captured is the same as in the holographic game.

In this way, players' "partners" follow from online to offline, and it will definitely make players cherish getting along with "partners" more.

With the addition of artificial mental retardation, Pokemon have biological instincts, instead of simple actions and calls, they will even lose their temper with players. Such a sense of reality will definitely make players more excited. addicted.

The more Xiao Gou thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible, and immediately worked overtime to produce the concept draft of Pokemon.

Pokemon was originally a game rooted in the culture of the island country. The original map and Pokemon can all find their prototypes in the island country.Xiao Gou wants to be a Pokemon, not to mention that he can't remember the details of the original Pokemon, even if he does remember, it's impossible to make the island version.Although Xiao Gou also believes that classics cannot be copied, classics must be rooted in the cultural society at that time, or even rooted in the previous era, to be called classics.Xiao Gou's copying can only make the classics become dross.

Therefore, Xiao Gou still only provided the concept draft, leaving the design of Pokemon, world view, map, etc., still to be completed by Red Dog’s employees. The final product must only belong to Huaguo and Red. Dog's Pokemon world.Of course, because of selfishness, Xiao Gou himself will add all the familiar Pokemon that he can still remember.

After the discussion, Red Dog directly moved the world map into the Pokemon world intact, and each region has unique Pokemon.They still use the XX region to name different "regions". The whole world has no distinction between countries, and it is all under the control of the Elf Alliance.

Players will start from the eastern coast of Huaguo, then go around the island country, and finally travel around the world.This game can be done for many years.

So Red Dog, who was just "sufficient" in manpower, felt that he was short of manpower.
