Chapter 1231: Chapter 1116: The Pale-Faced Developnt Team_1 Chapter 1231: Chapter 1116: The Pale-Faced Developnt Team_1 This isn’t considered devious, it’s a blatant strategy.
The character customization feature developed by Lincoln was not just a simple function where you select body height and physique, swap hairstyles and hair colors, and finally tweaking facial paraters.
— Not at all.
Even though the ti he spent developing it was so short that it could easily make one assu so.
But in reality, the character customization feature is far more complex, and much more abundant in customization options!
Lincoln basically took a small portion of the virtual humanoid developnt kit used by developers, packaged it into a character creation plugin, and gave it to the players to enjoy.
The freedom is incredibly high.
...
Correspondingly, players can easily spend a lot of ti in the process of creating a character.
And those players who were originally not interested in horror gas like “A Quiet Place”, if they spent a lot of ti creating two virtual characters that they are very satisfied with, then when “A Quiet Place” is officially released, can they resist not buying the ga, and interact with the characters they created?
Such a glaring strategy is transparent to the players.
But everyone still logged into the virtual world excitedly, while complaining about Lincoln’s “sly intentions”, found the newly appeared “A Quiet Place” login window, and entered the “Character Creation Space”.
It’s actually just the bedroom in the farmhouse that appeared in the trailer.
— Apart from the character creation system, Lincoln hasn’t done any extra work.
However, the players don’t mind at all.
Just by casually browsing the comnts section of the update announcent, one can see that everyone is not drawn in by the background:
“So fast!
That’s Cloud Dream for you!”
“I’m coming, my wife!!”
“I want to create my ex-girlfriend.
It’s been three years since we broke up, I miss her so much.”
“Does it restrict the physique of the character being made?
Can I create a lolita mommy?”
“Can I create a pretty boy husband?”
“Will there be restrictions on portrait rights?
Can I create a celebrity?”
“Can I create the Arican President?”
“Does it restrict race?
Can I create a robot husband?
The kind that can easily blow up alien monsters.”
“Can I directly create an alien with tentacles?”
“Can I create a person with blue skin?”
…
…
The content of the comnt section is weird and unpredictable, but generally, all are focused on the freedom of character customization.
The developnt team of “A Quiet Place” who released the announcent, can’t answer these questions.
Because they just received the character creation plugin handed over by Lincoln and are studying it seriously.
Of course, Lincoln is not obstinate.
At least before the update, he seriously consulted the company’s legal team.
And the players, quickly realized this.
Super Tomato, who loves finding loopholes, opened Alex’s photo and imdiately started creating according to it.
This system is quite complex.
Height, skin color, hairstyle, hair color, these most obvious features can be fixed in [Basic Mode].
But detailed facial features, hairline, crow’s feet, pupil, teeth, fingers, palm lines, fingerprints, veins, nail gloss, breast shape, leg shape, knees, calf thickness, toes, soles of the feet…
All kinds of details that traditional character creation systems don’t pay attention to can be adjusted here!
However, if you want to achieve the utmost in so extrely ticulous details, you need to enter [Professional Mode].
For example, the gradient effect of skin and pores.
If you want to really perfectly replicate a real person, the difficulty is off the charts — because nobody can notice all the details of other people.
And Super Tomato quickly discovered: when shaping the body of the character, you can go ahead and do whatever, anything goes.
But when he seriously started sculpting the face, and the face of the character he created was more than eighty percent similar to Alex’s real face, a prompt suddenly popped up in front of his eyes —
“A player’s current custom character appearance is highly similar to that of a public figure in real life.
It exceeds 80% similarity.
If it exceeds 85%, the character will not be allowed to appear in public environnts.”
He clicked on the words [public environnt] and read so detailed comnts, realizing that it refers to all cases outside personal gaming.
To be more specific, it’s similar to visiting [Huayin Bubble Bath] in Night City – only suitable for personal gaming, can’t be docunted and definitely can’t be live stread.
This effectively prohibits customized characters from appearing in public environnts.
When he saw this prompt, he rembered to look at the user agreent of the character creation plugin.
In it, it clearly states: Players are advised against “creating virtual characters that resemble people from reality”.
Not only that, if you refer to other windows opened through the panel during character creation — whether it’s pictures online or pictures on your phone — the created virtual character can’t be recorded or live stread.
—But as long as you don’t open any reference pictures and completely rely on your mory to create a character from reality, whether that’s your ex-girlfriend or future boyfriend, as long as they don’t resemble public figures too much, you can ga and stream normally.
Because the system has no evidence.
Players with such thoughts imdiately started working on improving their mory.
Those without such thoughts, driven by their XP, started creating their wives or husbands enthusiastically.
The whole day, the player circle was filled with joy and excitent.
Before Cloud Dream clocked out, the number of global players using the character creation plugin exceeded 68 million.
That’s almost twice the number of pre-ordered players for “Land of Silence”!
And this achievent was made without the Daxia users having clocked out yet.
Facing such enthusiastic pursuit from the players, the developnt team of “Land of Silence” should be thrilled.
After all, such powerful advertising effects!
But they weren’t.
Whether it was Jason or an ordinary employee of the developnt team, everyone was sowhat pale looking at these figures.
They finally understood what it felt like when the developnt team mbers watched Lincoln turn a milkshake into a celebrity dog before the release of “Speed Chase”.
*
Only Lincoln was relaxed.
As soon as it was 5 o’clock, he clocked out and went ho with Little Princess to have dinner.
Today is the final match of the [World Mobile Ball Championships].
They decided to watch it together after dinner.
The [World Mobile Ball Championships] entered the elimination stage in early April.
After a series of quick duels and eliminations, only 16 teams remained.
From that point, the schedule underwent a significant adjustnt—
There would be no matches on workdays.
To maximize audience quantity and event influence, each match is played on the weekend.
That’s why the competition has lasted until now.
All amateur players have been eliminated; the eSports clubs were all eliminated in the semifinals as well.
The teams competing in the finals now were all professional athlete teams that train and compete together throughout the year.

The first is the Arican Football team, the Arizona Cardinals, who along with their coach and logistics have been in Xiajing City for a month.
There’s a high degree of similarity between Arican Football and Mobile Ball, both emphasizing teamwork, ball-carrying sprints, and physical confrontation.
In this regard, the Arican Football team has considerable advantages.
The other team is the Daxia Cuju team, Yangcheng Tianheng.
They had a rough start, only starting to show strength midway through, but they got better and better, showing potential to be the champions.
Daxia and its surrounding countries have always treated [Cuju] and [Football] as two separate sports.
Cuju has a longer history but it never gained international influence.
However, Cuju in Daxia has always been strong.
In comparison, Football seems a bit inadequate.
One reason is that talented people all play Cuju and only those who can’t get into Cuju go to play Football.
By the end of the [World Mobile Ball Championships], the gaming circle rely watched the heat, while the sports circle actually took center stage.
But the players were optimistic about this.
One reason is that the eSports teams were able to outperform many world-renowned sports clubs, breaking into the semifinals, showing infinite potential, and definitely have the possibility to win the championship.
On the other hand, gars are a group of easily satisfied people.
The [World Mobile Ball Championships] brought gars and sports lovers together, cheering and celebrating because of the sa event.
This itself was already sothing to be happy about.
