Play Game of Life

After hearing the word "useless", Li Rushan's expression was serious, and he tried his best to hold back his smile: "Okay, keep talking."

Do speedruns work? Strictly speaking it's useless...

After all, there is a stalk in the speedrunning circle: "You play like this, what's the "meaning"?"

This stalk is mainly because many speedrunning anchors often try an evil way repeatedly for several hours in the process of challenging speedrunning, and new viewers who do not understand speedrunning often ask such questions when they see it.

There's really no way to answer this question.

Yeah, what's the point? It doesn't really make sense. For those speedrunners, the experience of speedrunning is actually a pure jail time. They often have to play with high spirits for an hour or two. If there is a big mistake in the middle, all previous efforts will be abandoned and start from scratch.

And continuous practice and continuous jail time are just for a second or two to improve the fastest clearance time.

For some people, it is really impossible to understand what the "meaning" of doing this is. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why speedrunning is a very niche game.

So when Li Rushan heard this, he became interested.

Building a website for a niche, meaningless gameplay? Hmm, sounds good!

Lu Zhixing introduced: "Considering our current games, such as "Walk with Darkness", "Lone Step Martial Arts" and "Sword Shadow Liaoyuan" are all loved by speedrunning players, we should set up a speedrunning website to give back to them. Makes sense."

Li Rushan nodded seriously: "Well, it's reasonable!

"So, what is the difference between our speed pass website and this speed pass website abroad?"

Lu Zhixing thought about it seriously: "If you want to talk about the essential difference... there is no.

"If you have to talk about the difference in details, it probably means that there are fewer games on our website, fewer people, and the earlier section structure is relatively imperfect?

"Of course we also have a huge advantage, that is, our website must be a pure Chinese community in the early stage, which is very friendly to domestic speedrunning players. They no longer have to study the English rules of foreign speedrunning websites!"

Hearing this, Li Rushan almost burst out laughing.

Co-authoring means falling behind completely?

But when you think about it carefully, it is actually very reasonable. There are more speedrunners in foreign countries than in China, and the speedrunning website started earlier, and various functions have been completed quite well.

Lu Zhixing wants to build a domestic speed pass website, even if he can refer to the experience of foreign websites, there will always be some omissions.

What's more, the foreign speedrunning community can operate so well, thanks to a group of hardcore speedrunning players serving as administrators in the community.

They are top speedrunning players themselves, and usually spend a lot of time discussing the details of the speedrunning rules and reviewing whether the videos of the new records are compliant. It can be said that they have made great contributions to the development of the speedrunning community.

However, there are too few domestic speedrunners, and it is difficult to gather such a group of professional auditors in the short term.

As for the fact that the Chinese website is more friendly to domestic speedrunners?

This is indeed a good thing for domestic players, but it doesn't mean much.

How many domestic speedrunners are there in total?

Basically, these players who play speedrun in China have already memorized the rules of the speedrun community by heart, and they all have the ability to read English.

To set up a Chinese community and Chinese rules, at most, it is more comfortable for them to see, and there will be no essential difference.

The biggest advantage of the Chinese community is that the threshold for ordinary players to enter the speed pass game has been greatly reduced, but it returns to the original problem, the speed pass game itself is too niche!

Therefore, it seems that whether the threshold is lowered...is not that important.

In short, in Li Rushan's opinion, this is definitely a very reliable project!

"Okay, great! This is exactly the item I needed!

"How much will this site cost to set up?

"Oh, it doesn't matter whether it's money or not. I mainly contribute to the players' speedrunning business, so that more players can experience the fun of speedrunning!"

Although he said that money was not important, the little fat man's flickering eyes were still full of anticipation.

Lu Zhixing coughed lightly: "The website... Of course the cost can be great or small.

"If the standard is low, you can do whatever you want, as long as there are video uploading and ranking functions, and then hire some auditors, and discuss with foreign Speedtong websites by the way, and synchronize their data, you don't need to spend too much money. It can be done in a decent way.

"If the standard is high, there is too much room for improvement.

"For example, we can connect the website with our game, build timing software, clickers, necessary plug-ins, etc. into the game, and allow automatic generation of speedrun videos. Players only need to make simple edits and upload them automatically.

"You can spend money to hire some top speedrunners to settle in, and you can encourage these speedrunners to post some professional explanation videos on the speedrunning routes to help beginners get started. You can also hold a speedrunning competition and provide everyone with generous rewards, etc. .

"As long as the layout is open, there are actually many things that can be done!"

Li Rushan was very happy: "Okay! Mr. Lu is right!

"We have always followed the high-quality route, how can we have a low standard? That is disrespect to all domestic speedrunners!

"People's speedrunners are speedrunning day and night and go to jail. Just one evil way can be sunken hundreds of times, just for the improvement of that second or two seconds. Is it easy?

"If we make a fool of ourselves and make a website, it will chill them! We must not do that kind of thing!

"So we must open up the pattern, and since we want to do it, we must do our best.

"I think Mr. Lu's nonsense, oh, the plan is very good. We can directly invite the top domestic speedrunning players to settle in, and then hold speedrunning competitions every now and then, and cooperate with major video sites and live broadcast platforms to strive to achieve All people participate!

"By the way, the software has to keep up. We make the timer and various plug-ins for speedrunning. Anyway, as long as it can improve the experience of speedrunning players, we will develop it!

"In short, our initial goal is to make this speedrunning community perfectly support all our own games, and our ultimate goal is to continue to expand to other games and strive to make our speedrunning community the best speedrunning community in the world!

"When the time comes, let all foreigners learn the Chinese rules!"

Lu Zhixing almost didn't hold back with a "poof": "Then it's unnecessary, we still need to develop a multilingual version."

Li Rushan nodded: "Yes, develop multilingual versions and find more translations. We strive to gain a foothold in China and go global!"
