Once upon a time there was a European Internet celebrity

The reason why "The Sims" has been completed so quickly is thanks to the R&D department and Mung Douzi, as well as Gong Xiucheng.In Gong Xiucheng's own words, all he thinks about is "The Sims" day and night, and he is obsessed.

Not only Gong Xiucheng, but the R&D department has also made great efforts for it.

The current main game projects of Unlimited Company are "Infinite Sports" and "Shang Guo". Although there are only two of them, it does not mean that the two projects are very easy. The brainchild of a related game group.The unique game mode and innovative game settings make these two games have a lot of audiences, especially "Shang Guo".It can be said that most young people in Huaguo know it and have played it. The number of online players in this game is very scary.It already has the qualifications to compete with several other classic games that have been operating in Huaguo for a long time.

For such a game, the R&D department has spent a lot of effort on the depth of its research and the integration of new technologies. The game team has to cooperate with the R&D department to precisely set and create the game, so that the research results cannot be wasted. , nor can the game lose its unique flavor.

Under such pressure, there was still work to be done on "The Sims". Gong Xiucheng, the game team that formed "The Sims", almost couldn't resist the pressure and went bald.After the game team is finalized, Gong Xiucheng still needs to make a second design for "The Sims".After all, the biggest selling point of Unlimited Company is the exciting black technology, and the game seems incomplete without some black technology.

Therefore, on the game of "The Sims", Gong Xiucheng spent more energy than he expected, as if his brain had been hollowed out.

Gong Xiucheng, who had regained some energy after a night's sleep, pushed open the door, and saw Mi Jiang and Zhang Sui playing games with glasses on.

Without making a sound, he closed the door carefully and quietly walked behind them.Looking over their heads, they saw the main character walking on the street on the screen.

The streets in the game are lit up, office workers with hurried looks, women pushing baby carriages, couples with sweet smiles holding each other's hands... All kinds of characters pass by the protagonist. On both sides of the street are tall buildings and shops. The lively scene is like reality.

"...Not here, go over there and have a look." Zhang Sui focused on the game interface with his dark eyes, with SSTG glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his own glasses were placed on the conference table.

Mi Jiang was also wearing SSTG glasses, staring at the screen seriously, his eyes widened as if trying to see something.

The male protagonist in the game passed through the revolving door and walked into the eight-story building.The first floor of the mall is full of brand-name bags and cosmetics.The protagonist does not hesitate to stand on the escalator and go up to the second floor. On the west side of the second floor is a clothing store, while on the east side there are several toy stores.

The protagonist wears a blue hoodie and cropped pants, and strolls leisurely around the second floor, then goes up to the third floor, and returns to the second floor after a short while, condescendingly trying to figure out what Zhang Sui is doing At that moment, the protagonist made an unexpected movement, he turned around and entered the men's restroom on the second floor.

"Look at the clues again." Zhang Sui stopped the protagonist in a toilet cubicle, as if talking to Mi Jiang, or talking to himself, "Women, missing, toy store..."

"That girl disappeared a week ago. What clues can be left in the toy store now?" Mi Jiang has a lot of suspenseful desks, and his brain is so small that he can't connect the cause and effect of these things.

"It may not be in the store, but I have to go and have a look." Zhang Sui pondered for a moment, then looked at the screen again, only to see a person's face printed on the screen... "Gong Xiucheng."

"Hey, boss, have you found me?" Seeing that he was found, Gong Xiucheng sat down beside Zhang Sui's other hand without leaving, "What are you playing?" The first reaction is the police?

Zhang followed the keyboard, and the protagonist turned around in the toilet grid.

Seeing that Zhang Sui didn't answer himself, Gong Xiucheng turned his head and looked at Mi Jiang with a smile, "What did you just choose? What kind of life did the boss play again?"

"Detective." Mi Jiang sold Zhang Sui instantly.

"Huh, the boss actually plays detective." Gong Xiucheng pulled up the corner of his mouth and showed a cheap smile, his handsome face was ruined by this smile. "So the boss has a detective dream?"

Gong Xiucheng smiled kindly, Zhang Sui didn't even give him a look, seeing that Zhang Sui ignored him, Gong Xiucheng looked at Mi Jiang again, he was even better, staring at the screen intently.

"The plot is very smooth, and no major bugs have been found so far. How many players can the server support at most? Are there any sensitive occupations?" Zhang Suiwan, a detective, does not want to realize his dream, but uses this occupation to test whether the game plot is complete, reasonable and logical , and whether the npc's response is flexible and realistic.

"Currently, less than two-thirds of "Shangguo" and one-third of the country's population have been opened." This is already a very impressive amount. No new game has such a large load at the beginning. Besides, there is no server that can host so many players online at the same time, except for "Shang Guo".

These are the results of their company's research and development, which makes Gong Xiucheng full of pride.

"It's less than two-thirds of "Shang Guo", is it too much?" Mi Jiang is also thinking about this question seriously, "After all, this is a stand-alone game, and it can only be played with known NPCs, will it be too much?" Will most people not play this?"

"The audience of stand-alone games is wider than that of online games," Zhang Sui explained to Mi Jiang, "Many people play online games, and when they get bored, they will play stand-alone games. The same goes for stand-alone players, but some people only play stand-alone games. , without considering other games. The attraction of "The Sims" to them is very high."

"And it's not just that, our company has so many game fans, there will definitely be some people who don't play stand-alone players to try "The Sims", so the load capacity of the server can only be increased rather than reduced." Gong Xiucheng was very grateful for this matter, and at the same time admired himself for daring to decide to work for the boss.

He is proud to work at Infinity.

"Just because you play the game, I know that you can't feel the features of this game." Gong Xiucheng looked disgusted, don't think he didn't see Gong Xiucheng's eyes that were not enthusiastic but procedural, "The charm of this game lies in experiencing yourself Different life and different choices, not for you to test, look at the cold eyes of the two of you, and the indifferent eyes. For some players, it is so rare to be able to fulfill their wishes, maybe It’s really the Lifetime series, understand?”

"Oh..." Mi Jiang understood Gong Xiucheng's meaning and nodded in agreement.

"Just know..."

"Is there any news?" Zhang Sui didn't continue to play the game, he did a game test. Although he was a little curious about the detective's follow-up, he couldn't sit down and play the game quietly.

"Yes," Gong Xiucheng regained his energy when he mentioned this, "You wait for me to get a tablet." After speaking, he hurried out.

"What do you think?" After Gong Xiucheng left the conference room, Zhang Sui asked Mi Jiang's opinion.

Mi Jiang didn't know how to answer for a while, and he wasn't sure what advice Zhang Sui wanted to hear, "Actually, I think pure stand-alone is not good. You have to give players some interactivity, otherwise you won't have the motivation to continue playing."

Mi Jiang has no research on game production, but speaking from his own senses, if there is no one to play with, what's the point?How boring it is to experience a new life by yourself...

Zhang Sui took off the SSTG glasses on the bridge of his nose, and put back the usual pair. "Interactivity?"

"Yes, interactivity. Without this, it would be boring to be alone. You can see that Onmyoji's interactivity is very strong. There are so many players!"

"Hmm..." Zhang Sui thought it made sense.

"Crack," Gong Xiucheng walked into the conference room with the tablet, sweat still running out of his face.

"I brought it here, this is the homepage I set up first."

After receiving the tablet handed over by Gong Xiucheng, it showed a small man wearing a blank mask, sitting on top of a city with thousands of high-rise buildings, as if he was separated from this city, and seemed to be busy in this city Feel.Although the screen is simple, it fits the theme very well. Who can live the life he wants in "The Sims"?In a busy city, it is often involuntary.

Zhang Sui just glanced at it and nodded, agreeing to this homepage.

"Then the public beta can be opened?"

"No, open the homepage first."
