Play Game of Life

Chapter 76 Site Layout (610)

After finalizing the office space, various tasks of Studio 404 began to proceed in an orderly manner.

The first is to renovate and rectify the site, replace some old equipment with new ones, redecorate some dirty and unsightly places, and then set aside a special office area.

For example, the original Parkour Rock Climbing Gym did not have any game elements. Apart from the climbable rock walls, the only decoration was graffiti related to extreme sports painted on the walls.

The level of these graffiti is not high, and it is incompatible with the game theme of 404 Studio, so they should be completely changed.

Lu Zhixing had a lot of game materials in his mind, so he just borrowed the scaffolding from the construction team that was under renovation, and got all kinds of paints to decorate the inside of the stadium.

Lu Zhixing's painting level can be regarded as a human flesh printer, of course, the premise is to draw the materials already in his mind.

Originally, he planned to do everything by himself, but Li Rushan firmly disagreed, and he would spend money to hire several senior painters to help.

So, in two or three days, the entire Parkour and Rock Climbing Gym took on a new look, becoming more like a game company, or a game-themed venue.

All the equipment for rock climbing and parkour has also been completely renewed, and all the places that had slight hidden dangers due to long-term use have also been repaired.

The office area was also quickly set up, with spacious desks, multi-screen high-end computers, comfortable single sofas, fifth-generation VR helmets, as well as special meeting rooms, lounges, entertainment rooms, and small restaurants.

The layout is still according to what Lu Zhixing said before. The R\u0026D department and the transplantation department are separated. The R\u0026D department mainly uses the fifth-generation VR helmet for production, while the transplantation department mainly uses conventional equipment such as computers to transplant the completed VR games to other platforms.

Games like "You in Eyes" are okay to say, after all, they are VR games produced in conventional ways, so it is not difficult to transplant them.

But "Ordinary Life" uses new technology, which is more troublesome. It requires a special artist to move the resources, and then a special designer recreates it in a conventional way. Even some small bugs need to find a program to fix them.

The layout of the entire office area was arranged by Li Rushan, adhering to the principle of making the entertainment space as large as possible and having more stationery for poor students. After fully calculating the staff redundancy, all office configurations are fully filled.

Lu Zhixing also called Wang Yang and brought over the VR game cabin in the Internet cafe that could use the latest technology.

It's a pity that the quota of this kind of equipment is limited at present, and only this one can be obtained at present, and other people don't have the permission of internal testing, and they can't use it at all.

We can only wait for the 404 studio to develop and grow in the future, and have enough weight on the official side, so that we can hope to get more new VR game cabins and internal test qualifications.

However, although other people are not qualified for internal testing, they can accept the invitation in the virtual world and freely enter the virtual space that Lu Zhixing just obtained through the fifth-generation VR game helmet.

Liu Bo and the others were very curious about this point, so after Lu Zhixing roughly completed the entire office area, he and everyone immediately adjusted the virtual space.

...

Everyone put on VR game helmets one after another, and soon, they received an invitation from "404 Studio".

Pushing open the new door in the hall, everyone found themselves in a brand new pure white space.

It feels a bit like an editor here, but the system prompts clearly tell them that they are already in the deep space of "Taiqing".

"Is this the deep space? It feels... It doesn't seem to be much different from the game." Li Rushan looked around curiously.

Lu Zhixing nodded: "Of course, the game "Ordinary Life" was actually made in the deep space of 'Taiqing'. The feeling in the virtual space is similar to that in "Ordinary Life"."

Zhao Haoyan made a gesture and asked in confusion: "Huh? There's no way to summon the operation panel in this place, and you can't see other people's nicknames."

Lu Zhixing nodded: "Yes, this is the deep world of 'Taiqing', which is different from the editor. Everything here is generated by consciousness, and you can't see other people's nicknames, just like in reality, everyone And I won’t go out with my name on my head.”

Li Rushan was a little puzzled: "Then what's the use of this place?"

Lu Zhixing explained: "This place is full of infinite possibilities, such as this."

After speaking, he poured out all the materials in his mind.

Everyone stood in place, watching a building rise up in front of them. It was just a blurry ghost at first, but soon, various details began to appear, and from the outside to the inside, it became more and more real.

Finally, as the textures of the exterior walls are all refined, the interior space is gradually finalized.

Lu Yixiao was surprised and said, "Hey, isn't this the complex building of our school? But it seems to be slightly different, and the internal structure is also different."

Lu Zhixing led everyone in. There are elevators and many rooms.

And according to Lu Zhixing's imagination, these rooms are still changing. The size is getting bigger and bigger, the original narrow windows of the complex building have become huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and the podiums, tables and chairs of the classrooms in the complex building have also become common desks and chairs in office buildings.

However, if you look closely, you will find that these elements have actually appeared in "Ordinary Life", but they have been combined in a new way.

"This... this is amazing!" Li Rushan was dumbfounded.

Although he had experienced "Ordinary Life" before, he only felt that the resources were more refined, and he didn't intuitively feel the essential difference in the game made in the deep world of "Taiqing".

But at this time, seeing Lu Zhixing perform "rise tall buildings from the ground", he was completely shocked.

This is nothing short of a miracle!

Lu Zhixing explained: "All the resources that have been generated in the deep space can be directly called in this virtual space. So I can use all the resources used in "Ordinary Life", and I can combine them at will."

Everyone took the elevator to a high place and looked into the distance.

Liu Bo was surprised: "How big is this place?"

Lu Zhixing explained: "The area of ​​the first-level virtual space is about 1 cubic kilometer. Of course, the game source code associated with it is not included in it."

Liu Bo heard a new term: "What is 'game source code'?"

Lu Zhixing randomly found a window and pushed it open. A road was formed in front of him. After everyone stepped on it, they walked out and found that in the distance of this virtual space, it seemed that a phantom of a city building could be vaguely seen.

It was the urban area in the game "Ordinary Life".

Lu Zhixing pointed: "That is the position of "Ordinary Life" in the deep world of 'Taiqing'. It can also be understood as the source code, so it is also called the game source code. If I delete them here, all Ordinary Life in VR gaming headsets will crash and become inaccessible.

"This virtual space can be regarded as our core or anchor point in the deep world of 'Taiqing', through which we can connect all the games we will make in the future.

"Of course, most people still use it as a virtual office at the moment."

Zhao Haoyan scratched his head: "Office space? Then why are we renting office space outside..."

Li Rushan's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Lu, let's make an agreement first. The office space outside has been rented and is almost finished. You can't change your mind at this time! You must not change your mind when the money is spent. retreat!"

Lu Zhixing explained with a smile: "This place can indeed be used as an office space, and many small independent studios with only one or two people do this, but there are certain disadvantages.

"The deep world of 'Taiqing' is not connected to the external Internet, so there is no way to use external resources, and there is no way to port the game to other platforms. If you want to do these things, you still have to work in reality.

"So, this virtual space can only be used as a supplement to home office. Some small independent game studios do not have high requirements in this regard, so naturally they can only rely on virtual space to work. You can’t completely cut off the connection with reality, of course you still need to find an office space in reality.”

Li Rushan nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, Mr. Lu is still clear-headed!"

Just now he almost thought that Lu Zhixing would not be renting the venue in reality, and he would spend a lot less money, so he was taken aback.

Lu Zhixing continued: "Following the development of "Walking with Darkness", I will continue to improve this virtual space. You can often take a look and play when you have nothing to do."
