Build a game empire from scratch

"Smell control?" Shen Ping turned the word several times in his mind, "Turn off the player's sense of smell?"

"How can that be done!" Lin You quickly denied, "In the lake area in late autumn, the grass, trees, soil, and the complex and subtle smells in the wind, wouldn't it be all useless to turn off the sense of smell!"

Lin You and Xiao Meng have put a lot of effort into the wind of the wilderness world.

This is not only for the player's experience, but also for Xiaomeng's experience.

The richer the sensory database, the more subtle and delicate Xiaomeng's feelings will be.

Creating a world that is as real as possible, even better than the real world, will be Lin You's lifelong career, and its significance is more important than games.

"Then how to do it? Only temporarily turn off the player's sense of smell when the player is close to the feces of the prey?" Shen Ping was a little confused: "Is this the same as deleting the smell directly? Isn't this superfluous?"

"But it's so democratic." Lin You was delighted at once.

"Democracy ass! You can't give everyone the right to choose, or something will definitely go wrong! It's happened twice, don't you believe it?" Shen Ping finally couldn't help it, and sweared in front of the boss.

Not only was Lin You not angry, but he couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hahaha, I know, but they don't know!"

Shen Ping said angrily, "But isn't it... messing around!"

"Okay, okay, I'm not joking." Lin You changed the subject: "Actually, I plan to add a [Smell Control] option on the character panel of this game for all players who participated in the voting. You can adjust the smell of the prey’s feces to the gear they voted for, and as for new players who haven’t voted before, give them a chance to choose one of five.”

"Ah?" Shen Ping was stunned for a moment, and finally realized: "Isn't that..."

Isn't that the fun players who are joking, they are all dead?

The basis of the game is [Quadruple Stinky], and the change options they have are also [Quadruple Stinky], which means there is no choice!

"Don't think about it anymore?" Shen Ping couldn't help pleading for those people, "Why don't you change the smell transmission mechanism so that when the player holds their breath, the signal transmission of the sense of smell is temporarily interrupted?"

The olfactory mechanism in the virtual world is different from that in reality. It does not distinguish the odor molecules in the air through the olfactory mucosa in the nasal cavity-the demand for computing power is too terrible, and the mirage can't stand it at all.

Any microscopic dynamics involving the cell level requires extremely terrible computing power, and it is impossible for the virtual world to truly simulate that kind of microscopic dynamics.

The actual operating mechanism is that when the player gets close to the target at a certain distance, the sensory signals related to the sense of smell will be transmitted to the player's brain, making the player feel that he "smells" the smell.

Therefore, there is no necessary connection between holding your breath and "whether you can smell it or not", it just depends on whether the game mechanism allows it.

In the current game, even if the player holds his breath to sniff, he can't stop the smell, at most it will be slightly relieved - everyone thinks it's because the smell is too strong...

From here we can see Lin You's attitude.

——But he did this, originally only for the sake of authenticity!

Although he said it harshly, in fact, the taste of the most primitive version of animal feces was already weakened compared with what he smelled in reality.

He has really taken care of the players' game experience!

Now that things have developed to this point, I really can't blame him for being vicious...

so--

"How boring is that? Let's just change it like this first." Lin You looked at the time, "It's time to get off work, so hurry up and get off work if you can."

After he finished speaking, he was about to run away.

Shen Ping was speechless, she was not as big-hearted as Lin You!

Lin Yougang and the player teamed up to complete such a unique job, she has to go back and watch the situation in the game, otherwise she really can't feel at ease!

At the same time, she is also planning: ask a few people from the development team to add more "non-hunting gameplay" to the game, and enrich the player composition of the game.

It is best to use both plant and landscape resources, rather than simply existing as a hunting background.

Such as hiking competitions, collection of plant illustrations, all-terrain vehicle fun competitions and so on.

For more ideas, I still need to hold a meeting to brainstorm. Anyway, as a typical "casual player", Shen Ping really can't see such a large-scale waste of resources...

Yelang logged into the game.

"Hunter: Call of the Wild" is not a simple release, but at the same time as the release, two new areas were opened: Following the North American [Layden Lakes], the Rocky Mountains area [Silver Collar Peak] was opened , and South Africa [Urhoga].

As for the area after that, it depends on the operation team!

Yelang landed in the Urhoga region of South Africa.

This is a typical African grassland landscape, with large plains, low and scattered trees, and prey ranging from the lowest-level serval rabbit to the highest-level lion and Cape buffalo. The overall span is very large.

But Yelang didn't rush to look at the surrounding environment, but started consuming on the spot without saying a word.

——The Krypton gold during the internal test was all refunded to the account, and now it is spent without hesitation.

And he was pleasantly surprised to find that two more things were also added to the list that could be purchased with krypton gold: a luxury tent with its own store and a range-finding telescope.

Buy buy buy!

This thing is so convenient, especially the range-finding telescope, an artifact for novices!

Then he skipped the novice instruction directly, raised the binoculars and started looking for prey.

Not surprisingly, the prey given by the novice was still brushed on the face - there was a bighorn sheep not far away.

Yelang fired a random shot, deliberately not causing fatal injuries, and then drove arrogantly, chasing after the prey.

His goal is not the trophies, but the feces of his prey.

He had to make sure whether Lin You and Yun Meng were really so ruthless, keeping their word to this extent!

This is also the first thing many players go to verify after entering the game.

If it was just Lin You, everyone believed that he would definitely be able to do such a thing, but with Yunmeng as a company, it was somewhat uncertain.

Now Yunmeng is getting bigger and bigger, raising hundreds of thousands of people to eat with their mouths open, will she still do such nonsense with Lin You?

Will no one stop him?

"Tug-tud--" The all-terrain vehicle was small, almost like a four-wheeled motorcycle, but the sound was not small.

Running in the forest, let alone the target prey, wherever it passes, the prey within 200 meters will flee.

After walking around twice, Yelang successfully found a lump of animal excrement.

With a strange sense of excitement, he jumped out of the car and approached the turd.

But before he got close, his smile froze on his face——

"Wait! Isn't the prey I saw just now a sheep?"

"Maybe my knowledge is relatively narrow, and I really can't recognize what kind of sheep it is, but... this big lump, it can't be sheep dung, right?! I still know sheep dung!"

"So, what kind of animal shit is this?!"

Yelang suddenly panicked.

Only then did he realize that he had overlooked an important thing: after a week of hunting, he could indeed distinguish the species of the prey and the time of the excrement through the shape of the feces of the prey.

but!

This is only for prey in the Lake District!

There are rabbits, wolves, deer, and bears, and different types of deer are not bad.

But now, a large push of unknown animal feces suddenly appeared in front of him, which reminded him of one thing: Yunmeng will add more completely different prey while updating the hunting map!

And a completely different prey means - completely different prey feces that he can't identify!

Just like this piece of shit that doesn't know what it is now, he can't figure it out at all! It can only be judged that it has not been dried in the sun, not the one with the longest time.

In other words, the experience is invalid!

If Yunmeng really fulfilled his promise and added [four times the smell], then he would have to smell it honestly!

At most a few times less than new players...

"My mother!" Yelang opened his mouth wide in shock, he wouldn't shoot himself in the foot, would he?

The strange excitement on his face was completely gone, and he became anxious instead.

Carefully lowering his body, he got a little closer to the pile of feces.

As a result, as soon as the system prompt popped up, before he had time to read the information on it, a strong stench rushed straight to Tianling Gai, and Yelang immediately fell back!

"F*ck!" The swear words blurted out.

"This shit can play?!"

"No, no, this game is unplayable!"

Yelang got up quickly, first retreated several meters away, then opened the panel to find the game feedback window, and panicked to give Yunmeng advice——

"Can someone come and take care of your boss?!"
