Play Game of Life

Monday, February 19.

The Spring Festival holiday is over, and 404 Studio has officially started working.

Although the development of the new game has not officially started yet, everyone has their own jobs.

The transplant team began to seize the time to come up with a transplant plan for "Walk with Darkness", trying to transplant it to the computer and host as soon as possible. Forget it on the mobile phone, the type of game really doesn't match.

After "Walking with Darkness" is ported to the computer, it will definitely lose some of its essence. After all, no matter whether it is played with a keyboard and mouse or a controller, some parkour levels can be completed by pressing a button and the game character. This difficulty There is no doubt that it has been greatly reduced.

Naturally, there is no effect of exercising specific movements and improving muscle memory that consciously connects to VR games.

However, not every player likes such hard-core gameplay, and there are still many players who prefer the traditional game mode of keyboard, mouse or handle. The ported version of "Walk with Darkness" is mainly prepared for these people.

Even if the operation mode is changed, the level design, decryption gameplay, cat-mao interaction and other game content of "Walk with Darkness" itself can still be regarded as a masterpiece of horror games.

As for these people in the research and development team, they are busy summarizing the various opinions of the players on "Walking with Darkness", and making subsequent version update adjustments and modifications.

In addition, the official side also gave new rewards.

Three new closed beta permissions and three new VR game pods.

Although everyone in the 404 studio can freely enter and exit the virtual space, no one else has the same authority to generate and edit resources as Lu Zhixing.

Although Lu Zhixing's own efficiency is high enough, any small modification has to be done by himself, which is still a bit troublesome after all.

After obtaining the new internal test permission and the new VR game cabin this time, Lu Zhixing can also distribute the permission to Liu Bo, Lu Yixiao and Zhao Haoyan, and let them help him as much as they can.

On the first day of work after the Spring Festival, Lu Zhixing also wrapped big red envelopes for all employees, and everyone quickly devoted themselves to work with full enthusiasm.

It's just that after the excitement, Lu Zhixing returned to his work station, but was worried when he saw the new acting task in his vision.

This role-playing task is as difficult as ever!

[Mainline role-playing task 1: Please play the role of a martial arts master who doesn't talk about martial arts]

[Acquired performance skill 1-martial arts wizard: Your ability to understand, learn and imitate various martial arts and combat routines will be fully improved. 】

[Main role-playing task 2:: Please play the role of an idler student (attend two non-professional courses and gain something)]

[Acquired acting skills 2-super memory: During the learning process with a high degree of concentration, your memory will be comprehensively improved, and the remembered content will be more difficult to forget]

[Mainline role-playing task 3: Please play the role of a naked figure collector]

[Acquired Playing Skill 3 - Figure Strengthening: As the number of collected figures increases, your bone strength will also be enhanced accordingly. 】

Before Lu Zhixing only saw the first role-playing target, he already felt his eyes go dark.

As a result, the latter two are also not simple.

Although these three role-playing tasks are not particularly difficult from a literal meaning, there must be some implicit role-playing rules in this role-playing task.

It is necessary to roughly calculate these implicit rules according to the growth of the performance progress after performing specific actions, and then carry out targeted performances, so as to ensure that the performance tasks can be successfully completed within the time limit.

In short, the task is still very difficult!

Especially the role of the "explicit figure collector", I always feel... Is this going to let me continue on the road to social death and never return?

Of course, after completing the role-playing tasks of the previous cycle, the original role-playing skills have also entered the mall and become enhanced versions.

Of course, Lu Zhixing used the remaining points to exchange for the first time.

[Playing Skills - Dislike of Investors (Enhanced Version): You will naturally be disliked by all investors, and they will disapprove of your profitability from the bottom of their hearts. (Enhanced effect: This effect can be extended to all "investors" in a broad sense.)]

[Playing Skills - Proceed with Caution (Enhanced Version): The more cautious you are, the more preparation you do, the stronger your control over your body in extreme sports such as parkour and rock climbing. (Enhanced effect: This effect can be extended to all sports.)]

[Playing skills - I am a cat (enhanced version): You will have the flexibility and agility of a cat, but you can't help but lick fur, grind claws and other cat behaviors. (Enhancement effect: In a normal state, you resist instinctive behaviors such as licking fur. But when you perform these behaviors, your flexibility and agility will be further improved.)]

These skills are very useful for Lu Zhixing.

Among them, the skill of "investors are not optimistic" can even be extended to all "investors in a broad sense", which is quite interesting.

"Being disliked" can also play a role in some specific occasions. The simplest example: when doing something and don't want to be noticed or disturbed too much, this skill can greatly reduce the attention of the outside world.

However, the specific usage needs to be developed later.

Lu Zhixing was thinking about how to complete the new role-playing task, when he heard everyone greet him.

"President Li is back?"

"President Li, happy new year!"

"Hey? Mr. Li prepared a red envelope? Thank you Mr. Li, Mr. Li will make a fortune in the New Year!"

This was obviously Li Rushan's return from Jingzhou after the Chinese New Year.

He also prepared red envelopes for the employees of the company, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching when he heard the blessing of "making a fortune in the New Year".

After briefly greeting the other employees, Li Rushan went straight to Lu Zhixing's station.

"Boss Lu! I'm back!

"How about the design plan of the new game, do you have an idea?"

Li Rushan's face was filled with anticipation.

The previous two consecutive bursts of "Walk with Darkness" and the Parkour Rock Climbing Gym caused him to suffer 10,000 critical hits. At this time, the expenses that must be spent on 404 Studio alone are 14 million.

Not to mention the money earned from the parkour and rock climbing gym, he had to think of other ways to spend it.

To sum it up in four words, it is stressful!

Therefore, the next new game from Studio 404 became the focus of Li Rushan's attention.

If this game still sounds unreliable as before, then a big stone in Li Rushan's heart will be temporarily landed: Wolong has not left me, and the money can be spent with confidence!

But if Lu Zhixing proposes a plan that sounds very reliable...

That is not only a matter of whether the money can be spent, but Li Rushan has to seriously reconsider whether Wolong is Wolong or not.

In fact, the success of "Walking with Darkness" has already made Li Rushan a little suspicious. But the plan of this game itself does have huge risks, and its success is also full of various accidental factors.

Even Li Rushan himself played an irreplaceable and important role in the explosion of the game and parkour rock climbing gym.

So he had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky, and waited with great anticipation for the next game from 404 Studios.

Hearing Li Rushan's question, Yao Wenyang, who was busy writing the transplant plan for "Walking with Darkness", smiled: "Mr. Li, are you in too much of a hurry? Game design can't be sloppy, even if it is It takes at least ten days and a half months for an experienced game designer to write a first draft of a plan.

"What do you think of Mr. Lu? He's not that productive. Well, it takes time for inspiration to emerge."

Lu Zhixing was silent for a moment: "Actually, I really thought of a plan."

Yao Wenyang made a "poof" and almost spit out a mouthful of water: "Good guy, pretend I didn't say anything!"

Obviously, the so-called common sense has no meaning in front of a talented designer like Mr. Lu.

Hearing these words, Li Rushan regained his energy in an instant: "Oh? Tell me, what kind of game are you going to make this time? Could it be... or a horror game?"

Li Rushan was still a little worried.

"Walking with Darkness" has already been played successfully, how about making another type of horror game like the gourd? The possibility of success is almost guaranteed!

Lu Zhixing shook his head: "Of course not, Mr. Li, who do you think I am, I have dreams!

"This time, I plan to make an action game!"
