Build a game empire from scratch

Cangniao formed a small group and brought his teammates in for a discussion.

Cang Niao solemnly stated: "I am not someone who is easily swayed by money."

The teammates nodded in agreement: "I understand, unless there are too many."

...

In the end, everyone happily succumbed to the charm of money.

And after pulling Chasing Wind into the group, the last teammate became very easy to find in an instant...

The next step is to run the team and practice teamwork.

Chasing Feng also had to practice together, otherwise it would be a shame to be on the field.

He didn't come here to be ashamed.

The core players and krypton players represented by Cangniao and Zhuifeng are just a corner of the game.

Countless players are calling for friends and looking for teammates.

In official competitions, there is no system to randomly match you with teammates. Forming a team of 5 is a mandatory requirement for registration.

On this point, the clubs have the most leeway-this is the way they are most used to playing.

Zhang Muyu also joined the club after the [Freedom Day] event and returned to the game as he wished.

Even though his team couldn't survive the chaotic "Clan Wars" at the time, his performance was still eye-catching.

His keen fighting sense and tenacious fighting will in the VR era have been brought into the virtual world without any damage by him, even stronger than then!

Compared with the rest of his teammates, it is obvious that the gap has widened.

In the chaotic "legion battle", he persisted until the ammunition was exhausted and after killing a total of 31 opponents, he still tried to charge with cold weapons, and finally fell helplessly on the way to charge.

This kind of performance immediately brought him a lot of team invitations.

Faced with many opportunities, Zhang Muyu did not choose to return to the [Ming Lei] club he was in before, but joined the [Burning Boat] where Lin Shun was.

At this moment, he is already working with four new teammates including Lin Shun, preparing for the game.

The winning rate of the training match is also steadily increasing.

After being disappointed too many times, he no longer dared to think too much, and just played training games wholeheartedly every day.

I just wish it could be stronger, stronger...

"Cube World (Temporary Name)".

When Lin You came to this virtual world under construction, he was quite speechless after seeing the names they named.

"Are they so disgusted with cubes?"

Looking at the busy employees, Lin You didn't rush to interrupt, but observed the development progress.

Just after taking two steps, Xiaomeng suddenly whispered in his ear: "Master, some important news has arrived in the mailbox!"

"Really?" Lin You opened the panel smoothly, and Xiao Meng had already prepared the mail for him.

That was the reply from the auditing department, the wording was rigorous and measured, without bureaucracy or procrastination.

After Lin You finished reading it, he felt that he could sum it up in one sentence: "In principle, it is possible, but rigorous investigation and demonstration is still needed."

For Lin You, this basically means stability.

Technically, Yunmeng has no problem, and Linyou has no intention of stealing chickens in terms of purpose.

Therefore, the process of investigation and demonstration is nothing more than more procedures. The investigation team came to Yunmeng to have a look, ask questions, and do some experiments.

There can be no surprises.

Seeing the good news, Lin You was in a good mood, and walked quickly to the employees to observe their progress.

Xiaochun is working with several female employees to make the appearance texture of the [Plant Block].

Under Xiaochun's hands, [plant blocks] are not the same, but have [grass blocks], [moss blocks], [shrub blocks], [tree blocks], [leaf blocks]... and many other appearances.

This "one block, multiple appearances" concept is also implemented in a large number of other blocks.

Even with the same appearance, there are different texture variations.

——Of course, this kind of change does not need to be designed separately. Most of them can be generated and adjusted through algorithms, which can save a lot of work.

At this time, what Xiaochun and several employees are doing is to design green plants on the surface of the [Plant Cube].

Instead of drawing the plants on the surface of the block, it actually grows from the surface of the block until it grows to a palm height from the surface of the block.

Lin You looked at this block, and then looked at the [obsidian block] in the design on the side: under the dark surface rock, the trajectory of lava glows and flows from time to time, flickering and flickering.

Looking back at the row of [wood cubes] behind you, the texture of the bark is completely different depending on the type of tree.

But no matter what it is, the rough bark and ravines on the surface of the cube are extremely delicate, and it feels as if they can feel the invasion of years and winds and frosts.

There is also the [Snow Cube] under production. When Lin You gets closer, he can even see some snowflakes that have not completely melted, with clear and delicate six-petal fans.

...

Lin You looked at these blocks under construction, and for the first time worried about the performance of the mirage...

"Sister Chun, what is the minimum effect of these blocks under dynamic material adjustment?"

"The lowest?" Xiao Chun was a little surprised to hear this question.

She glanced at Lin You puzzledly: "The mirage can run smoothly even in the metropolis. Now it's just a pile of blocks, so there shouldn't be a need to reduce the material?"

Lin You shook his head.

"The smooth running range of the metropolis is actually only within a radius of one kilometer centered on the player. Beyond this range, not only will the modeling be blurred, but all functions and mechanisms will be suspended to reduce the pressure on the equipment."

It is worth mentioning that the operating mechanism is different for single-player and multi-player metropolises.

Based on the construction foundation of the virtual world, as long as the server algorithm interaction can withstand, the metropolis can enter unlimitedly.

The more people there are, the more idle synapses will participate and contribute fuzzy computing power, and the pressure on the host will be less.

Moreover, from the perspective of brain development, allowing the idle brain nerves to move within a reasonable range can also promote the development of children's brain nerves and prevent adult dementia.

But single-player games won't work.

In the single-player state, the use of the fuzzy computing power of the brain is very restrained-although it still looks amazing, it is purely because the brain has too much advantage in this respect.

And there is another point that is easy to overlook: the buildings of the metropolis are not really built of bricks.

Many buildings are basically "integrated", which actually does not take up much computing power.

Only when it is damaged, will it give a feedback effect through real-time calculation.

But when players are playing "Cube World (Tentative)", each building is built one by one as "bricks and stones".

So if the scale of the player's construction is too large, although he is fine, the host may really be scrapped!

"If the player builds something that doesn't exceed a radius of one kilometer, that's really fine."

Lin You paused, and then said to Xiao Chun: "I'm afraid that players will directly build a whole metropolis, even bigger and more amazing creations than the metropolis."

"Improbable?" Xiaochun retorted subconsciously: "The scale of the metropolis is now, we have so many people joining in, and there are special development tools, and it took so long. Players make it themselves, at least spend a lot of money. Half a year, right?"

Lin You smiled helplessly: "Half a year is not a long time."

In the games of the previous life, it would be an exaggeration to say that the one- or two-year-long projects were all over the place.

But to say that there are very few, it is absolutely deceiving...

"Never underestimate a player."

After thinking about it, Xiaochun nodded, and operated a few times on the [Plant Cube] in front of him.

Lin You saw that the plants on the surface of the cube were blurred for a moment, but soon returned to their original state.

Then Xiaochun said, "Okay."

"Huh?" Lin You was puzzled.

It wasn't until he took a closer look that he found that all the capillary fibers on the leaves of the plants were gone, and only the main veins remained in the veins of the leaves. Finally, it lost the texture of green plants and became as smooth as a piece of paper.

It seems that a lot of things have been saved, but——

"That's not enough..."

"Not enough?" Xiaochun really felt that it was a bit exaggerated this time.

"I don't know much about hardware, but with this kind of material, to reach the performance limit of the host, you need to use tens of millions of blocks, right?"

Lin You said helplessly: "Ten million, actually it's not a lot..."

Projects using tens of millions of squares are indeed large projects, beyond the reach of ordinary players.

But this does not mean that tens of millions is the limit.

"Projects with hundreds of millions of squares are possible." Lin You explained to Xiaochun.

"We need to leave enough upper limit for players to optimize all types of cubes into a 'simpler version' as much as possible."

Although the employees present all felt that Lin You's statement was a bit outrageous.

But the boss, it is also reasonable to keep improving the game, so they all added new content to the development plan, and then put them into work one after another.

Xiaochun looked around, looked at the busy colleagues, and raised her wrist to check the time.

Finally, he turned his head and asked Lin You: "The trailer for the season of "Light Yu" is about to be released, do you want to watch it together?"

"You go, I won't." Lin You shook his head and refused.

He looked at this virtual world and was thinking about another thing: stacking cubes and building his own world. He was about to give players this permission.

But can it go further?

Let players not only build their own world, but even make their own gameplay modules.

That is to say - open MOD permissions.

And, if you are sure to give this permission, how should you give it to make it more ceremonial?
