Chapter 410 I Should Wait (Update 1)
A person’s death will be experienced three times.
The first time is death in the physical sense. Life comes to an end at this moment. Everything stops here, and everything in the world has nothing to do with you anymore.
The second time is the death of social significance. This kind of death will come when someone discovers the collections and browsing history on mobile phones and computers that were not dealt with before death, making a person unable to live in peace even after death.
The third time is death at the world level.
This death occurs on the day when the universe is destroyed. All matter will be dispersed, all energy will wither, and all matter making up the body will be dispersed into the most basic particles at this moment, and will die again after countless billions of years. Rebirth.
The eternity of death makes life seem so short and makes life seem so brilliant. The vigorous vitality shines in the vast universe and is the most eye-catching color in this world.
Fang Cheng feels this way right now.
Cheng Huatian is an interesting character. He already has the initial symptoms of Alzheimer's. This problem makes him unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy, but it also makes the life experiences he tells bizarre and interesting enough.
He eagerly wanted to tell his past. The story mixed with reality and fantasy was quite charming, making Fang Cheng feel that his life could be experienced and understood.
The story of last night was pulled out of his mind, and the words jumped in his mind, and then turned into images, sounds, and images.
He would continue to fill in the details and deduce them through supernatural powers, making the story even more bizarre.
Looking at Fang Cheng sitting at his workstation thinking, Huang Ping pulled Xiaodouzi into the break room, drank good coffee and said solemnly, "There's something wrong with the boss." "The boss
is sick!" Xiaodouzi was shocked. "I'm going to ask a doctor. Let's go to Xiehe to register for the boss!" "
It's not that kind of problem. I feel that the boss is in good health and living to be a hundred is not a problem."
"Oh, that's good. Then what do you say? What's the problem?" Xiaodouzi asked curiously.
"The boss is actually working on a game in the studio."
Xiaodouzi was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Isn't this a normal thing? Why do you think it's like the sky is falling?"
" You are right, but something is still wrong. Think about it, the boss has almost never made games in the studio before, right?" After
recalling it, Xiaodouzi said in surprise: "Old Huang, you are right! So what do you think the situation is?"
"It's probably because the boss has encountered a bottleneck, so at this time we must actively care about the boss, love the boss, and not put too much pressure on the boss, so that the boss can think with peace of mind, okay?"
"Don't worry, I understand."
"And you have to do it naturally and act as you please. You can't let the boss find out that his current situation is wrong, and you can't put more pressure on the boss." "
I know this, so don't worry. I'll be tactful first. You want to ask the boss what's bothering you?"
Xiaodouzi nodded affirmatively and asked directly when he went out: "Boss, I have a friend who is in a bad mood recently. How do you think we should enlighten him?"
"Huh?"
Fang Cheng looked at Xiaodouzi in confusion, wondering what the math genius was thinking.
Huang Ping pulled Xiaodouzi away and asked in a low voice: "You are so tactful!" "
I think I am already tactful enough. In ancient times, I must be a tactful person."
"You are a beast!"
Fang Cheng looked at the two people and felt that they were strange.
However, he has always disliked eavesdropping and snooping, and would not interfere with employees' private lives unless absolutely necessary.
But two people happened to come over, and he said directly: "You are here just in time. I have a few questions to ask."
Huang Ping pressed Xiaodouzi back, and then said seriously: "You tell me."
"For a person For a plot-oriented game, is logic important?"
Huang Ping nodded, feeling that he knew why Fang Cheng wanted to make games in the studio.
The boss is about to challenge himself again!
Challenging yourself is not an easy task. It means throwing away the skills you have in the past and learning something you have never known before.
And past skills will form something similar to the curse of knowledge, making people constantly want to return to the comfort zone of the past while challenging themselves.
This is also the reason why many gamers have the same taste in everything they do. After all, they are so accustomed to the previous path that they just end up on the original path.
At this moment, Huang Ping felt that all his lifelong learning had been mobilized, causing his brain to start thinking quickly, and he sorted out his answers at an extremely fast speed.
"It's very important. The plot must have its own logic. Setting is the cornerstone of a good story, and logic is the skeleton of a good story. If it is a plot-oriented game, then logic is a must. But logic is not necessarily The logic necessary in reality, for example, if it is a game about cultivating immortals, then the logic brought about by cultivation will be completely different."
"I don't quite agree." Xiaodouzi said, "In fact, many plot games can also have weak logic. Some things don't have to be sequential. This kind of game plot that breaks logic can be more tense and give players a more interesting experience." "
But what you are talking about is also a kind of logic, but this logic is expressed in a more abstract way. Expressed. And if it doesn’t hit the player’s point, players won’t buy the content here.”
“What you did is a typical commercial game approach, and if we want to restore reality, there is no need for logic. . After all, reality doesn’t make sense.”
“Reality is the most reasonable, it’s just that you didn’t realize it.”
Just when the two people were having a very heated discussion, a voice sounded timidly: “I can tell you a little bit about my opinion. Huh?"
Looking at the tall Lin Nan who suddenly appeared on the side, Huang Ping was startled. After a while, he said tremblingly: "You tell me."
Although he knew that Lin Nan was tall after all, he could not walk. There is no sound at all times, and the sense of presence is shockingly low. Every time I realize that the other person is present, I will be startled.
Lin Nan struggled for a while, and then whispered: "I feel that logic in the game is not particularly important. What players want in the game is not logic, but a feeling of 'all their wishes come true'."
Fang Cheng became interested in the answer, looked at Lin Nan and encouraged: "Continue."
After being encouraged by the boss, Lin Nan became bolder and continued: "Actually, it is very simple. I am doing the gameplay and puzzles in the game. When answering questions, I found that players sometimes easily get stuck. Different people have different logics. The creators can only make their logic more relevant to most people, but they cannot satisfy everyone. So, I think if It would be very interesting to have such a game where players can use their own logic to play different games."
Fang Cheng thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Interesting, please continue."
"We will set up a framework for the players, but it is up to the players to choose what colors will be in this framework. This point of view may be a bit abstract, that is..."
Lin Nan racked his brains to express his opinion. Xu Qingling came over and said, "It's like there are many ways to go to a place, but players can choose different means of transportation, right?" "
Well, that's right!"
"It's like there are many ways to chase a girl. Players can pursue it in different ways, right?"
"That's right, but this example is weird." Fang Cheng nodded while listening, feeling that he had gained a lot more.
Lin Nan's words inspired him a lot and gave him new ideas.
He wants to add a magical power of "all wishes come true" to this new game.
The simplest understanding of this magical power is, "I think this is okay, then maybe this is really okay."
Of course, this magical power won't be particularly outrageous, and things still require a certain amount of logic, but at some point it can transcend the existing logic and allow the game to develop into a more interesting place.
However, the last thing players want to experience is Cheng Huatian's life, so the big goal nodes will not change, but players can still make some changes in the process through their own actions, so that players can feel in control of this life.
After thinking about it, Fang Cheng felt that this approach was quite interesting.
The general idea has been completed, and then we need to think about the feelings it brings to the players.
Combined with Cheng Huatian's life experience, Fang Cheng feels that this game can continue the idea of "Card Heroes" and allow players to continuously explore different lives.
While Fang Cheng was thinking about these issues, the studio staff had already completed a major discussion.
Game studios actually have no shortage of this kind of discussion, but many times they just deal with it again and again.
The leader said some general words above, and the people below found what the leader wanted to hear on the Internet in advance, and then said it without thinking.
The discussion at this meeting will be very lively, but in the end nothing will be discussed.
If that's all, that's it. What makes the people below the most speechless is that the leader will finally come up with a slap-on-the-wall plan, which will result in nothing except delaying the construction period.
Many people in Chengdu have experienced similar situations, but after today's discussion, everyone is still a little bit unsatisfied.
There was a collision between each other's ideas here, which made everyone think further about their own ideas. I believe there can be better sparks in the future.
When they found that it was almost time to get off work, they stopped and said to Fang Cheng, "Boss, I'm sorry, the discussion was a bit too much. I didn't waste your time." "
No." Fang Cheng shook his head with a smile, "According to you I've finished the idea. But it's getting late now. I'll give you the demo tomorrow. Okay, get off work and go home." "Hey,
boss!"
Huang Ping watched Fang Cheng leave, trying to persuade him to stay. Before he could say anything, he saw Fang Cheng walking away.
A group of people looked at each other in confusion. After a while, they heard Xiaodouzi's voice: "As expected of the boss, he had already finished it when we were discussing." "
And judging by the boss's state, he is obviously in a good mood."
" He's in a good mood, but I'm going to have trouble sleeping." Xiaodouzi sighed helplessly.
Xiaodouzi was right.
Not only him, Huang Ping and Lin Nan also suffered from insomnia.
Fang Cheng's technical strength is trustworthy, but there were obviously many technical difficulties in the previous discussion, and at least Huang Ping couldn't figure out how to solve them.
According to his understanding, this kind of discussion is often a time for everyone to let themselves go and constantly explore their imagination.
It would be considered good if one-tenth of the discussion content at the meeting could be implemented in the end. Even if the boss's AI technology is superb, it may not be good.
What's more, Lin Nan also proposed a function that most gamers hope to achieve "all their wishes come true." This function requires an extremely advanced understanding of AI technology and may not be easily achieved.
The whole night, Huang Ping was thinking about how the boss could achieve these difficulties, and as a result, he didn't sleep well all night.
After getting up, he came to the studio with dark circles under his eyes and found that both Xiaodouzi and Lin Nan had the same expression as him.
They smiled bitterly at each other, and Huang Ping decided that no matter what demo the boss made, he would praise it and then do his best to modify it.
After all, this is an idea they discussed, and it must be completed no matter how difficult it is.
After finally waiting for Fang Cheng to arrive, he eagerly took the USB flash drive handed over by Fang Cheng and started playing the game.
After the game started, an old but clear voice sounded: "My name is Cheng Huatian, an old man from China. I still remember the morning when I first got on the cruise ship..." The
screen turned and the cruise ship began to appear. , Huang Ping found that the perspective had switched to the first person, and the height difference between himself and the people around him made him understand that he had become a child and that he was on a cruise ship.
A middle-aged man with a blurry face stood in front of him, rubbing his head and saying, "Don't move here, I'll buy some oranges."
"Come up and take advantage of me." Huang Ping said with a smile.
"Well, what's so cheap?"
Huang Ping felt his head being rubbed hard, but the other party had already left here and went downstairs to buy oranges.
Watching the other party leave, Huang Ping found that the other party reacted to his words, which meant that the game could communicate with the NPC through the microphone, and the NPC could also react.
However, this function was already standard for Fangcheng Studio, so he was not too surprised and continued to observe his surroundings.
Although this is the deck of a yacht, the situation here is much more magical than he imagined.
He saw someone transporting goods from the dock. A ferocious white lion was kept in an unreliable-looking cage. From time to time, he looked at the nearby guests with the eyes of prey.
Ah San from the White Elephant Kingdom was dancing with a snake, but the timbre of the other party was not very reliable, and he was almost bitten by the snake several times.
There seemed to be a circus of strange people here. All kinds of strange people were active on the deck, which amazed Huang Ping.
Unconsciously, Huang Ping had left his original position and walked deeper.
It wasn't until the ship's whistle sounded that he suddenly realized that his father in the game had said that he wanted to buy him oranges.
He hurriedly ran to the stern of the boat and found that the boat had slowly docked. The man who had just rubbed his head was standing at the bow of the boat, raising a basket full of oranges in his hand towards him blankly.
He didn't know what to do, but when he saw the boat slowly leaving, he suddenly used force and threw the oranges towards Huang Ping one by one.
Several of them hit the board and fell into the water, but one still fell into Huang Ping's hands.
Seeing that his son finally received his orange, the man finally smiled and said loudly: "It's very sweet!"
Looking at the orange and red orange in his hand, Huang Ping suddenly felt empty.
Just now, I should have waited.
