Chapter 61: Newbie Plot_i
In history, this hero was a standard war veteran, and one could make a linear ga just with a series of his battles, but Fang Cheng felt that players should be given more choices.
The ga ought to be free enough to allow players to take part in wars that The Naless had never encountered, or even potentially join the well-known battles of history.
Such unexpected little Easter eggs, Fang Cheng believed, would excite players upon discovery.
Having realized this, Fang Cheng was quite content. He felt that his recent work on the ga had not been in vain and he was gradually gaining so insights.
Since he wanted to go in the direction of an open world, the ga would need to be designed in a sowhat unconventional manner.
That was to extrapolate.
To set so basic conditions and then to deduce and extrapolate the next developnts through certain thods—that was extrapolation.
This Divine Skill differed from divination; divination was a peek into the future, while extrapolation was a conjecture based on the past.
As long as the computing power was sufficient, any Cultivator could extrapolate a great deal, but because it was computed, so accidents and variables could cause deviation in the extrapolation, ultimately leading to an outlandish outco.
However, what he captured was a ray of the past. By extrapolating through the contents recorded within the light, there shouldn’t be any problems.
Clutching the beam of light in his hand, the hero’s entire life was recorded within this light beam spanning 45 light-years.
Taking the starting point of the light beam as the starting point for extrapolation, Fang Cheng added various initial variables to make the The Naless in the extrapolation more akin to a ga character.
Besides that, he had to impose certain restrictions on the character, such as prohibitions on joining foreign tribes or slaughtering the populace. After all, these were things The Naless would definitely not do, and he did not wish for players to act against the hero’s will.
Once he finished processing the beam of light, he completed the packaging of the ga, adjusted its size, and then returned satisfied to his own studio.
As soon as he entered, he heard the plaintive voice of Xu Qingling, “Boss, did you get lost in ga developnt and lose track of ti again?”
Looking at Xu Qingling crouched by the door, Fang Cheng nodded and said, “Yes, have I been gone for several days?”
“Not too bad, just two working days. But Huang Ping and the others have sothing to say.”
“A raise? A raise would be good.”
“When it cos to money, Boss, you really don’t hold back at all.”
Finally, Huang Ping, who had been standing aside, couldn’t stand it anymore.
He coughed softly, then asked, “Boss, where have you been during the ti you disappeared?”
“Developing gas, then accidentally lost track of ti,” Fang Cheng admitted frankly.
“You’ve been working until now?”
“I’ve been working until now.”
Huang Ping sighed.
Although every studio has its own way of making gas, Fang Cheng’s thod was certainly the most unique.
It s not unheard of for a project leader to do the majority of the work, but when it happens every ti, one starts to feel sowhat guilty about their salary.
So producers certainly have strong control tendencies and insist on writing all the design plans themselves, but that doesn’t an they code everything themselves.
Even with Al assistance for programming, you can’t be that industrious.
Nonetheless, each person has their own thods, and Huang Ping didn’t feel it was his place to criticize.
And in the gaming industry, results are what matter. As long as the producer keeps creating solid ga fraworks, what he does in the office doesn’t matter, even if he were to streak.
Coughing, Huang Ping decided not to pursue the issue and instead looked at Fang Cheng to say, “Boss, you were the one who said no to overti, but aren’t you the first to break that rule? So we…”
“Oh, I understand,” Fang Cheng nodded.
“You… understand?”
“Yes, I’ll take compensatory leave right away, and you guys continue working. Oh, and here’s the ga I just finished developing. Test it out first, and I’ll co back the day after tomorrow to hear your feedback. Then we can discuss how to make adjustnts.”
“It’s not…”
Huang Ping had just wanted to explain when he saw Fang Cheng put down the USB flash drive, wave his hand, and leave.
What he wanted to say was that working a little overti occasionally wouldn’t hurt, and people shouldn’t be so rigid.
To his surprise, Fang Cheng truly led by example and walked away after putting down the ga, leaving Huang Ping speechless.
Turning around, he saw Xiao Douzi giving him a look of silent resentnt, and
Xu Qingling’s expression was even more sorrowful.
Shrinking back like a turtle, Huang Ping thought of sothing and clapped his hands, saying, “I forgot to tell the boss about the lawyer’s letter and Sun Jue’s matter. Does anyone have the boss’s Fetion? I’ll contact the boss.”
“I’ll handle this matter,” Xu Qingling said, holding her phone and smiling.
Just in ti, her own cat had also arrived, and she had ti to invite the boss over to watch the cat do backflips.
Even though it couldn’t do them now, with a little training, it would eventually learn.
At the sa ti, the company’s rules and regulations needed to be set-the policies forbidding employees and the boss from working overti both had to be written into the system!
Fang Cheng hurried over and then swiftly left, only a USB flash drive with the new ga remained behind.
Although they were sowhat dissatisfied with Fang Cheng’s strict self-discipline and equally strict expectations of others, the new ga was faultless.
Especially the boss’s new ga, that was definitely flawless!
First, they uploaded the new ga to the company’s SVN directory, then downloaded and installed it on each of their computers, and the three planners began to eagerly experience the ga.
The ga is nad ‘The Naless’… It carries a certain unstoppable montum. The genre is war… It’s not a romance simulation, is it?” Huang Ping asked with confusion.
Xiao Douzi did not speak.
He had already washed his hands and disinfected the mouse and keyboard with alcohol; now, he was completely imrsed in the world of the ga, not even an earthquake could awaken him.
Fortunately, there was still a lively Monkey in the studio who imdiately replied to Huang Ping’s question, “Liu Bei, no matter how outrageous the boss can be, he surely wouldn’t go that far.”
“You don’t understand him. He’s not outrageous, just a very…special kind of producer. Just play for a bit, and you should get it.”
Upon entering the ga and getting acquainted with the gaplay, the opening scene didn’t take long to introduce the protagonist—The Naless.
The protagonist’s na didn’t appear, which nicely matched the title, and was presumably related to so aspect of the ga’s settings.
Jotting down this question in his notebook, Huang Ping continued playing.
After an initial encounter with a Soldier in the start, the ga quickly moved three years forward in ti.
The ga employed a first-person perspective, with graphics as refined as ever; to match the ga’s the, everything around looked quite dilapidated, people’s faces were numb, creating an unusual sense of oppression.
After fiddling with the controls, Huang Ping found that the ga was more suited for motion-sensing peripherals.
In order to adapt better to the ga, he specifically fetched a motion-sensing device, and upon connecting it, he couldn’t help but marvel.
The keyboard and mouse controls were already very smooth, but with the motion-sensing device connected, it went up a notch-the simple wooden spear felt tangible at that mont, as if he were truly wielding it.
While Huang Ping was contemplating, he heard soone outside yelling loudly, “The Tubo are coming!”
Hearing this, Huang Ping’s body tensed.
The newbie storyline was here!
Excited, he jumped out to find three Tubo Soldiers charging at him on warhorses, like three oversized experience packs, coming from afar right to his spot.
Hefting his spear, Huang, just about to showcase his exceptional skills, saw the screen turn to black and white.
In the middle of the screen, the red character for “Defeated” stood out conspicuously, leaving Huang Ping, who had wanted to make a grand show of his abilities, frozen in place.
Is the difficulty of this ga… possibly flawed?
