An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 343 Stronger than imagined

How to make the NPC in the game look like a real person?

How to make the progress of the game world dynamically change with the player's behavior?

The best solution Li Zongzheng can think of is to design an independent intelligent program for the NPC, so that the NPC can understand the behavior of the players and give corresponding feedback!

At least, realize it on a small number of key NPCs!

It's just that this idea seems simple to say, but it is not easy to realize it technically.

If Wu Fan hadn't mentioned that part of the design of the neuromimetic network that Yunmeng Technology is researching coincides with the kind of intelligent program that the "sandbox world" needs, Li Zongzheng would never have come up with a whim. Generate such a wild idea.

After listening to Li Zongzheng's explanation, Wu Fan had a pensive expression on his face.

After a long time, he raised his eyebrows with an expression of interest, raised his head and said.

"It sounds very interesting... Although I don't know much about online games, I can give it a try."

"Really?!" Du Ziteng stared at him dumbfounded, with an expression on his face as if he was constipated, "Are you sure that...that kind of idea that Mr. Li said can really be realized through AI?"

In fact, what he originally wanted to say was a daydream.

If Li Zongzheng hadn't been his immediate boss, he might have said so.

"Of course it is possible in theory, but I can't give you a 100% promise for things I haven't done, and as I said, I don't know as much about games as you do. Even if I succeed, I can't guarantee that I can achieve what you expected. effect."

Wu Fan gave a cautious answer to Du Ziteng's question.

However, Li Zongzheng, who looked eagerly at this side, didn't seem to hear this sentence. I saw that Mr. Li held his shoulder with overjoyed expression, and looked at him with bright eyes.

"After all, there is hope, right?"

Watched by the hot eyes, Wu Fan took half a step back with sweat profusely.

"Yes...but as I said, I can't guarantee—"

"Then it's OK!" The smile on Li Zongzheng's face grew brighter, and he patted him on the shoulder vigorously, "This glorious and arduous task is entrusted to you, I assure you, we will do our best to cooperate with you experiment of!"

Originally, Wu Fan wanted to persuade him not to have too many illusions about such uncertain things. However, when he heard the second half of the sentence, he unconsciously swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Do your best to cooperate with their experiments...

This condition is almost irresistible to him who regards the completion of brain-computer interface technology as his lifelong dream.

Squeezing a smile from his face, he showed a more exaggerated momentum than Li Zongzheng, and nodded vigorously with a face full of determination.

"Well! I promise you!"

"You can completely trust me, our technology will definitely not let you down!"

...

For an excellent work, the operation of drawing cakes for players is essential.

Just when Li Zongzheng decided to use Yunmeng Technology's AI technology to create a sandbox world called Azeroth, Du Ziteng, the manager of the operation department, also under his instruction, released this blockbuster news to his colleagues. A reporter with a good relationship with Yunmeng Group.

There was no accident, when it was heard that Yunmeng Games planned to design World of Warcraft as a highly intelligent sandbox online game, players all over the world were shocked by this news.

Sandbox online game?

What is that?

[A dynamically changing continent of Azeroth? In other words, the story after the Frozen Throne is handed over to the player? ! 】

[Fuck? ? ? NPC implanted with intelligent programs? ? real or fake? 】

[To be honest, this bragging is a bit too big, the progress of the game is determined by the actions of each player, and the NPC is also smart enough to look like a living person? Unless Yunmeng Game arranges a customer service for each NPC. 】

[I'm afraid that one is not enough, even if it's a perfunctory casual, at least one team member must be assigned to each NPC. 】

[Not necessarily, they can arrange a rice elf for every NPC. (funny)】

[I just want to ask, when will it be online? Any chance of playing in this lifetime? 】

In the Warcraft discussion community of the Game Island forum, posts on related topics almost occupied the entire homepage panel. Although the ways of expressing surprise and shock are different, the meanings in those posts are similar.

Either he thinks Yunmeng Game is crazy.

Or just think they are awesome!

Maintaining a dynamic world is easy, and constant releases of major updates will do the trick. However, it is not so easy to determine the direction of the game world through the player's behavior.

First of all, the player's behavior is uncontrollable, but every update of the game requires a long time of preparation before it can be released. Unless Yunmeng Games can make a nearly perfect framework for World of Warcraft, and then let the subsequent games run perfectly within this framework, and hand over all subsequent updates to the intelligent program to complete.

Only in this way can the concept of "dynamically changing game world" be realized in a true sense.

Not only lay players are amazed at the cake drawn by Yunmeng Game, but also professionals in the industry. For the vast majority of them, the concept of sandbox games is just a vague concept, and many people are still exploring how to introduce this concept into stand-alone games, without even thinking about it. Used in online games.

The reason is simple, if any online game dares to do this, it will almost certainly be ruined by players with big brains. Not to mention the program, sometimes even as a human being, I may not be able to understand the strange behavior of some players in the game.

However, now, Yunmeng Games is once again at the forefront of the industry, presenting in front of the players a design concept that many of them would never have dared to imagine.

Even if it's just a piece of uncooked cake...

"Using smart technology to create a dynamically changing game world? Is this guy crazy?" Seeing the news on the phone screen, Xu Qianshi had a surprised expression on his face.

After working in the game industry for so many years, this was the first time he heard such an outrageous idea.

And compared to the idea itself, what puzzled him even more was Hao Yun's reason for doing so. Warcraft has achieved unprecedented achievements in the game history of Xia Kingdom. With countless fans, he does not need to take such a big risk. As long as the quality of the final product of World of Warcraft is above the passing line, thousands of players will not hesitate to pay for it.

But now, they have drawn such a big pie for the players.

Once the final product of Yunmeng Games fails to realize those unconstrained ideas, it will not only make players feel cheated, but also be suspected of deceiving consumers.

Wu Jianhua, who was standing in front of the desk, said with a complicated expression.

"To be honest, I can't understand the reason why they did this... But I heard that the AI ​​technology of Yunmeng game is provided by Yunmeng Technology."

Xu Qianshi who had never heard of this name looked at him.

"Is Yunmeng Technology famous?"

Wu Jianhua shook his head and said.

"It's not famous, but it's quite famous in the field of brain-computer interface. Around the beginning of the year, they seemed to have received an investment of one billion or several hundred million from Jiang'an Capital, and suddenly became a leader in the field of brain-computer interface research." Funder. In this cutting-edge field where the prospect of commercialization is not yet clear, whoever has money will be a star in the circle, so many well-known domestic research institutes have cooperative relations with them."

"In the entire field of brain-computer interface research, the research on neuromimicry is currently the most mature technology with the most application scenarios. Even if their own background is not enough, those research institutions they pay for and sponsor will surely be very mature. Willing to help."

Having said that, Wu Jianhua paused for a moment, then suddenly sighed softly.

"When I saw Yunmeng Group investing in brain-computer interface technology before, I thought Yunmeng Group had too much money and no place to spend it, but I didn't expect that man to play such a big game of chess."

Once they successfully let players accept and get used to the open world MMOROG gameplay, other MMORPGs can hardly even raise their heads in front of World of Warcraft.

To put it bluntly, how can ordinary game companies have the spare money to invest in AI technology?

In the past, he was spending money on e-sports to create a moat for the IP of Warcraft, and now he is spending money on technology to create an industry barrier for MMORPG. The entire industry is almost chasing after him, but he can’t even see the back of his head. .

Xu Qianshi, who finally came back to his senses, gradually began to realize this, and the expression on his face became serious, and then changed from serious to fearful.

This man's strength is stronger than he imagined...
