Chapter 2023 First taste of "Infinite Horror Online"(2/2)
"Well, boss, aren't we afraid that copyright will be involved? Although we have already obtained the copyright of "Resident Evil", using this movie character prototype may involve the copyright of the movie star. So we just borrowed some prototypes and made it
One is a paradoxical shape!" Wu Gang explained.
"No, this will lose the essence of "Infinite Horror". It must be loyal to the original work so that players can have a sense of involvement. As for the copyright, leave it to the company." Lin Feng ordered.
Wu Gang nodded and quickly recorded it.
Then, the plot was just like in novels and movies, "s.t.a.r.s" opened the door and started climbing the stairs. Lin Feng naturally had to follow.
By the way, what about the system? In the novel, if you don’t keep up with the characters in the game, it will explode. Lin Feng quickly called out the system menu. As expected, there were some corresponding task introductions on it. Then, Lin Feng just stopped climbing, and then
When the distance between the two parties exceeded 200 meters, the character exploded just like in the novel.
Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction.
But everyone behind them shook their heads helplessly. Is this boss looking for death? He didn't even try out the game plot when he came out. He just looked at the game design and just looked for death. But Lin Feng is the boss, so even if everyone is dissatisfied, they don't dare to say anything.
.
Then, something happened that made everyone even more depressed. After re-entering the game, Lin Feng punched Matthew Edison as soon as he started.
Oh-my-god!——Everyone screamed, is this boss prone to violence? He actually launched a direct attack on Matthew Addison.
As for the result, he was shot directly by Matthew Addison.
Lin Feng died again and entered the game again.
Later, Lin Feng attacked another "s.t.a.r.s" member and died again.
Later, Lin Feng tested all the team members. Naturally, every time he tested, Lin Feng died every time. And every time he died, many designers were helpless. You can't experience the game first,
Are you looking for bugs again? They are designing games, not bugs. Faced with Lin Feng’s spirit of challenging bugs, many designers feel very hurt.
"Yes, yes, this design is quite good. Otherwise, it would be inconsistent with the novel." Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction.
Wu Gang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"But what would happen if we cursed these team members?" Lin Feng said suddenly.
Everyone was stunned. They had never considered this.
Immediately, Lin Feng typed in several curse words, but as expected, many team members did not respond.
"Minister Wu, this couple must join the game. Otherwise, it would be too fake." Lin Feng said.
Wu Gang quickly recorded it, this is the second point.
"Well, boss, there are so many curse words in the world. Even if 'Xuanyuan' is an artificial intelligence, I'm afraid it won't be able to distinguish every curse word!" Wu Gang said.
"This is very simple. If you input some common curse words from various countries around the world, that's it. As for the rest, let the npc treat the player's words as talking to himself. Of course, you should also base it on the npc's personality.
Set responses to different player behaviors. For example, some NPCs like to be quiet. If the player is nagging, the NPC may change its attitude towards the player, such as prohibiting the player from talking, or directly attacking the player, etc.," Lin Feng said.
Wu Gang took a breath, the amount of work to do this would be huge. If you want to cover such a small area, the amount of work would probably be ten times more than before. At the first moment, Wu Gang wanted to ask Lin Feng for more
manpower.
"Minister Wu, I know you don't have enough manpower. Don't worry, I will send you more manpower." Lin Feng said comfortingly, as if sensing Minister Wu's difficulties.
Wu Gang immediately felt relieved.
"By the way, what do you think will happen if I hit Alice?" Lin Feng said and hit Alice.
This time, the "s.t.a.r.s" team had no reaction. Lin Feng continued to beat Alice until she fell to the ground, and then "s.t.a.r.s" opened fire on Lin Feng, killing Lin Feng instantly.
"Director Wu, this is not okay. Think about it, in the movie, although Alice is not that important at the beginning, the "s.t.a.r.s" team will not react until they see Alice being beaten to death. So it must be changed!" Lin Feng said.
Wu Gang smiled bitterly and nodded. They were only designing things with a general direction, so why pay attention to such small details? But Lin Feng has spoken, so let's change it.
This time, Lin Feng finally did not attack again, but honestly followed the "s.t.a.r.s" team into the "hive". All the program developers breathed a sigh of relief. They finally no longer had to endure Lin Feng's constant self-harm and suicide.
"Uh, Minister Wu, can these surrounding walls be attacked? Will there be any changes after the attack?" Having entered the laboratory at this time, Lin Feng suddenly pointed at the surrounding glass walls and asked.
"This can be attacked, but after the attack, except for some traces of the attack, it will not cause any code damage to the wall, etc." Wu Gang answered.
The so-called code damage refers to changes in the game's structure due to player attacks. Because everything in the game is generated by code. Therefore, the industry often refers to some changes in the game's original structure due to player behavior as code.
Do damage.
"This doesn't work, it must be changed! Otherwise, think about it, if the player attacks the ground with a rocket launcher, and the ground is only faintly black, this is too fake!" Lin Feng said.
At this moment, Wu Gang felt like he couldn't see the light of day at all. Originally, he had developed the "Xuanyuan" artificial intelligence, and the launch of "Infinite Horror Online" should not be far away. Although there are so many copies, he only needs to put in a fixed one by then.
Templates are enough, and the development cycle does not need to be too long. Especially for many movies, especially those cg movies, there are already templates in the computer, and you only need to spend money to transfer them. This work progress can naturally be greatly accelerated.
.But now that Lin Feng has said this, it will be a big trouble.
If Lin Feng wants the game to have code destruction, the changes will be completely earth-shaking. For example, in this "Hive", if players directly use rocket launchers to attack wantonly, will the entire "Hive" collapse? The changes it will bring will be huge.
Much more. When designing, you have to take into account all changes. For example, the changes in the attacks of different weapons, the changes in attacks after the player masters the superpower, etc. Calculated in this way, the development difficulty of the entire game is probably ten times as originally expected.
Even a hundred times.
By then, I'm afraid the capacity that will be released will be extremely horrifying. At that time, perhaps dozens of gigabytes of clients will be able to accommodate the huge "Infinite Horror Online" source program.
Lin Feng is naturally aware of this, but there is nothing he can do about it. The essence of "Infinite Horror Online" lies in change, and if the game cannot be changed, then players will naturally not have a sense of immersion when playing, and they will find it not very interesting.
Players will be excited only if they can completely change everything in the game. Especially if these scenes are scenes that have appeared in movies, players will be even more excited when they change.
This point cannot be compared to "World War". After all, "World War" has almost no NPCs, and all actions are the players' independent actions. Compared with the reactions of countless NPCs in "Infinite Horror Online", the difficulty is much simpler.
"Okay, I'll write it down." Wu Gang wrote it down without tears.
"Minister Wu, don't cry. This must be changed. Otherwise, for example, if I want to break the glass and release the zombies directly, you said that if code destruction cannot be carried out, isn't this impossible?
!" Lin Feng said.
Wu Gang sweated profusely. Tell me, which player would choose to release all the zombies with bare hands? Isn’t this looking for death? Absolutely looking for death! So Wu Gang and others did not consider this at all when designing
.The design was based on a combination of novels and movies. Knowing that we would meet Lin Feng, a "pervert", we actually thought about releasing all the zombies from the beginning.
This is not a perversion!
At this moment, Lin Feng ignored the exciting expressions of the people behind him and continued to develop the plot with the "s.t.a.r.s" team. He was about to enter the "laser room", and it was here that "s.t.a.r.s" suffered casualties.
"By the way, how do you plan to change the fate of NPCs?" Lin Feng asked.
"This, according to our design, players only need to enter some specific words. Once touched, the NPC will change. For example, if you enter the words 'danger', 'laser' and other words here, the "s.t.a.r.s" team will change."
Wu Gang said confidently. He had considered this detail, and Lin Feng should not find any bugs or deficiencies!
Lin Feng did not say much and directly entered "laser". Just like in the novel, Lin Feng was sent by the "s.t.a.r.s" team to enter the "laser room" first. As expected, Lin Feng died.
Later, Lin Feng entered the game again. But this time, Lin Feng did not leave at the gate. Instead, he directly entered the words "laser", "danger" and other words. As a result, there was nothing abnormal about "s.t.a.r.s" this time.
"Minister Wu!" Lin Feng shouted.
"Boss, I'll write it down, I'll write it down right away!" Wu Gang was anxious. His design was completely based on the novel "Infinite Horror" and the many movies involved in it. As a result, who knew that Lin Feng was a pervert, specifically thinking about it?
Fang'er came looking for bugs, this was so perverted! It made Wu Gang jump in fear as soon as Lin Feng spoke.
"Minister Wu, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Lin Feng shrugged helplessly.
"Minister Wu, you can't just use these sensitive words to attract the attention of the NPC. Could it be that the player told the NPC that you are going to die soon, but the sensitive words were not touched, so the NPC didn't respond? This NPC is too stupid.
Come on, is this still artificial intelligence?" Lin Feng asked.
Wu Gang sweated profusely. Of course he knew this, but he had no choice. You must know that the artificial intelligence of "Xuanyuan" is not very high, and it is too difficult for it to deal with this. But Lin Feng has already spoken, he
I can only listen.
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I'll continue to experience the game." Lin Feng turned his mind to the game again.
This time, Lin Feng once again followed "s.t.a.r.s" to develop the plot, but this time Lin Feng did not do any unnecessary actions, but followed "s.t.a.r.s" to the place where the copy mission terminated, which is the current "Biochemical" game.
"Crisis" (movie version) developed the farthest place.
Later, Lin Feng waited for the computer to crash, entered the game again, and then began to try other changes.
"Minister Wu, this action is not very flexible. I think we should learn from "War of the Worlds" on this point!" came Lin Feng's voice.
"Boss, I'll write it down right away!" Wu Gang screamed.
"Minister Wu, the damage attributes of this system are not accurate enough. When players or NPCs encounter different injuries, they should have different states, instead of the same blood reduction!" Lin Feng said.
"Boss, I'll write it down right away!" Wu Gang screamed sadly.
"Minister Wu, this person was bitten by a zombie. How long does it take to transform into a zombie? Also, after your zombie is bitten, is it possible for the player to evolve into a new variant? Also, can the player collect Alice's blood?
?And the original solution of the 't-virus', can players get it?" Lin Feng asked one question after another.
Wu Gang's face was twitching in an unnatural way. In just a short while, Lin Feng recorded 97 improvements. Not to mention developing other games, just improving all 97 of them would probably cost a lot of money.
Time is running out.
"Minister Wu, why do you look so ugly? Okay, I won't play anymore. There are too many bugs. You can continue to work hard. In short, I require that "Infinite Horror Online" must be a game that is closest to perfection.
.Otherwise, I would rather it not be launched on the market." Lin Feng ordered.
Everyone nodded.
"Boss, we must work hard!" Although the voice was stern, it had the feeling of burning a boat.
Lin Feng nodded, turned and left.
Chapter completed!
