Build a game empire from scratch

This cannot be regarded as scheming, it is completely an obvious conspiracy.

The pinching function developed by Lin You is not a simple function where you select your height and body shape, change your hairstyle and hair color, and finally adjust the facial features parameters.

- Not at all.

Although his development time is short, it is easy for people to have such an association.

But the actual pinching function is much more complicated than this, and the customization functions are also much richer!

Lin You basically took out a small piece of the avatar development kit used by developers and packaged it into a simulation plug-in for players to play.

The freedom is ridiculously high.

Correspondingly, players can easily spend a lot of time in the process of pinching people.

Players who are not originally interested in horror-type games like "A Quiet Place" will hold back if they spend a lot of time and create two virtual characters that satisfy them when "A Quiet Place" is officially released. Why don't you buy a game and interact with the characters you created?

Such an obvious conspiracy can be seen through by players at a glance.

But everyone still complained about Lin You's "evil intentions" while excitedly logging into the virtual world, finding the newly appeared "Quiet Place" login window, and entering the "pinch space".

It's actually a bedroom in the farmhouse that appeared in the trailer.

——Except for the pinch system, Lin You didn’t do any extra work.

But the players didn't care at all.

As long as you briefly browse the comment area of ​​the update announcement, you will know that everyone is not here for the background:

"So fast! As expected of Yunmeng!"

"Honey, I'm here!!"

"I want to bring out an ex-girlfriend. It's been three years since we broke up. I miss her so much."

"Are there any restrictions on the size of people who can be pinched? Is it okay for a loli mom?"

"Is it okay, Mr. Shota?"

"Will there be restrictions on image rights? Can celebrities be pinched?"

"Can President America squeeze me?"

"Are there any race restrictions? Can a robot husband be used? The kind that directly destroys alien monsters."

"Can I just pinch an alien with tentacles?"

"Can I pinch someone with blue skin?"

…

…

The contents of the comment section are all kinds of weird, but in general, they are all focused on the freedom to pinch people.

The "A Quiet Place" development team that made the announcement cannot answer these questions.

Because they had just received the pinch plug-in from Lin You and were thinking about it seriously.

Of course, Lin You didn't insist on having his own way.

At least before updating, he carefully consulted with the company's legal team.

And the players quickly realized this.

Super Tomato, who likes to find loopholes the most, opened An Rongyi's photo and started to take photos of it.

This system is quite simple.

The most obvious features such as height, skin color, hairstyle, and hair color can be determined in [Basic Mode].

But the fine details of facial features, hairline, eye lines, pupils, teeth, fingers, palm prints, fingerprints, blood vessels, nail gloss, chest shape, leg shape, knees, calf thickness, toes, soles...

Various details that would not be noticed in traditional pinching systems can all be adjusted here!

However, for some content that is too detailed, you need to enter [Professional Mode] to achieve the ultimate perfection.

Such as the gradient effect of skin and pores.

It is extremely difficult to perfectly replicate a real person - because no one can notice all the details of others.

And Super Tomato soon discovered that you can pinch the character's body any way you like.

But when he carefully pinched his face, and the character's face was more than 80% similar to An Rongyi's real face, a prompt suddenly popped up in front of him -

"The player's current customized character is highly similar to a real public figure. The current similarity exceeds 80%. If it exceeds 85%, the character cannot appear in the public environment."

He clicked on the words [Public Environment], read the detailed notes, and found that this generally refers to all non-individual game situations.

To be more specific, it is similar to a store like [Huayin Bubble Bath] in Night City. You can only play individual games, and you cannot record them at all, let alone live broadcast.

This is equivalent to completely preventing the fictional characters from appearing in the public environment.

Seeing this prompt, he remembered to take a closer look at the "User Agreement" of this pinching plug-in.

It clearly states: It is not recommended that players "create virtual characters based on the appearance of real characters."

Not only that, if you open other windows through the panel for reference during the process of pinching a person - whether it is a photo on the Internet or a photo on your own mobile phone, the pinched virtual character cannot be recorded or recorded. live streaming.

——But as long as you do not open any reference pictures, if you can completely guess a real person from memory, whether it is your ex-girlfriend or future boyfriend, as long as the similarity with the public figure is not too high, you can play games and live broadcast normally.

Because the system has no evidence.

Players who have ideas immediately start exercising their memory.

Players who had no idea, driven by their own XP, started to pinch their wives and make husbands with great interest.

Throughout the day, the player circle was filled with a joyful and enthusiastic atmosphere.

Before Yunmeng got off work, the number of players using the pinch plug-in worldwide exceeded 68 million.

This is nearly double the number of players who pre-ordered A Quiet Place!

And this was achieved even when users in Daxia had not yet gotten off work.

Faced with such enthusiastic pursuit from players, the development team of "A Quiet Place" should be ecstatic.

After all, it is such a powerful advertising effect!

But they didn't.

Both Yu Gu and the ordinary employees of the development team were a little blue looking at this data.

They finally understood how the development team members felt when they watched Lin You transform Milkshake into a star dog before the release of "John Wick"...

Only Lin You was relaxed. He left work easily as soon as 5 o'clock arrived and took the little princess home for dinner.

Today was the final of the [World Mobile Ball Competition], and they decided to watch it together after dinner.

[World Mobile Ball Series] entered the knockout stage in early April and experienced a wave of rapid duels and eliminations.

After only the last 16 teams were left, the schedule ushered in important adjustments——

There are no more games on weekdays.

In order to maximize the number of viewers and the impact of the event, every game is moved to the weekend.

It is for this reason that the competition continues to this day.

All passer-by players have been eliminated; e-sports clubs have also been eliminated in the semi-finals.

Now the two sides in the final showdown are all professional athletes who train and compete together all year round.

One of them is the American football team whose entire team, including coaches and logistics, has been staying in Xia Jing for a month: the Arizona Cardinals.

Rugby and mobile football are very similar. They also emphasize teamwork, sprinting with the ball and physical confrontation.

In this regard, the football team has a considerable advantage.

The other team had a rough start and only started to show strength in the second half. However, it got smoother and smoother, and the Daxia Cuju team had a winning streak and looked like a champion: Yangcheng Tianheng.

In Daxia and surrounding countries, [Cuju] and [Football] have always been two separate sports.

Cuju competition is older than history, but its influence has not spread to the world.

However, Daxia Cuju has always been very strong.

In comparison, football is a bit boring. Part of the reason is that all the talented people play Cuju, and only those who can't make the Cuju team play football.

At the end of the [World Mobile Ball Series], the gaming circle became a spectator, while the sports circle moved to the center of the stage.

But players are very optimistic about this.

First, because the e-sports team was able to defeat many world-renowned sports clubs and reach the semi-finals, it has shown that it has unlimited potential and is completely possible to win the championship.

Players, on the other hand, are an easily satisfied bunch.

The [World Mobile Ball Series] can bring together gamers and sports circles to cheer for the same thing, which in itself is very rewarding.
