Comments below the official website announcement:
Tails: "Throne! (*/ω＼*)"
Quit smoking: "!!!What?! The closed beta test qualifications have been distributed again?! What happened?!w(゜Д゜)w"
Ye Shi: "Damn it, no way, you don't have a little red dot?!"
Lao Bai: "Hahahaha, brother quit smoking, this is too wrong of you."
Keep someone under the knife: "It's really miserable for me to quit smoking. I've already made all the reservations I made in the second batch."
Quit smoking: "T.T"
WC is really full of mosquitoes: "Speaking of which, this time it's awesome. It actually released 100 places. The 10 extra places released in the previous batch haven't entered the game yet, right?"
Tomato Scrambled Eggs: "It seems to be true, those players should be online at 6 o'clock tonight."
Ye Ao, what can I do? "Haha, 100 places? I believe you, you idiot! Only a fool makes an appointment. The 100 places drawn must be fake."
Sisi: "Isn't it? I won the lottery."
Tails: "Tails too! (*/ω＼*)"
Quit smoking: "The storm cries."
It had only been a few seconds since the announcement was sent out, and no one had time to read the entire announcement. Almost everyone hurried down to drink water after reading the first line.
In addition to those who poured water, there were also those who fainted in the water from crying.
For example, the quit smoking man, this time he failed to win the reservation qualification again. It is not too miserable. But he is not the only one who failed to win the reservation qualification. Each of the more than a thousand reservation players deducted a few who were on the blacklist.
Little cutie, there are more than 900 people.
Unless you are a high-quality human user who is marked by the background and will definitely win the lottery, the winning rate in a normal lottery may not even be one tenth.
If you can win the lottery, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the Emperor of Europe.
After comforting them about quitting smoking, everyone who didn’t get to the first floor quickly ran back to take a closer look at what the notice said.
After reading it, I was instantly stunned by the huge amount of information.
The expansion is over!
"Winter Warrior" limited title is released!
Special in-game props that integrate property interface, taskbar, and map functions!
And the B2 floor of the shelter is open!
Good guy.
If this were replaced by some games, it would be enough to update until the end of the year!
Irena: "It's okay to tremble in the cold winter. I feel like only a garbage collector can tremble. (Funny)"
All the good names were given to dogs: "Gan! I haven't even started the game yet, and the expansion pack is over?!"
Kakarot from the future: "Shocked! A small detail, the attribute interface actually requires money to unlock! Well, although it doesn't cost RMB."
Garbage Picking Level 99: "Money is a trivial matter, the key is contribution points! Hey, wait, my contribution points seem to be enough already? Oh, that's okay."
WC is really full of mosquitoes: "You idiot, you bought the land and I lent you the money. Pay it back quickly!"
Trash Picking Level 99: "QAQ."
Makabazi: "It's just right. The new version will be available as soon as I go online. It's perfect."
Stop talking nonsense: "+1, hahaha, I hope the lake doesn't freeze, fishing is so fun."
The expansion ended suddenly, but it was also expected.
After all, the big BOSS of the expansion pack has been killed, and everyone was satisfied with the final battle, leaving a hairy suspense and a bunch of helpless prisoners, which can be regarded as a introduction to the next version.
Winter has arrived.
The theme of the next expansion pack is probably survival, and the strengthening of life professional players has paved the way for this moment.
It is perfect to end at this time.
After reading Aguang's "Developer Diary", players on the forum are looking forward to the prop called VM and the gameplay of the new version.
But there is still one most critical question:
What about B2 floor?
This dog planning was not even mentioned at all!
Tomato scrambled eggs: "Wait, where is the B2 floor?"
Quit smoking: "Planners, wake up! Are you embarrassed to show off after updating a piece of equipment? Where is the B2 floor? What we want to know is the B2 floor!"
The man under the knife said: "Would any of you go online to take a look? Is the elevator to the B2 floor available? I seem to have seen an elevator in the residents' hall!"
Ye Shi: "Cause, I'm taking a professional class in the classroom now, and I still have my helmet at home!"
Mole on the run in the canyon: "Brother, don't panic, I'll be back as soon as I go!!"
Fang Chang: "I'm going too, and I happen to be at home too!"
Lao Bai: "Damn, you really don't have to go to work."
It's three o'clock in the afternoon on weekdays, and most players who have something to do during the day have not yet gotten off work.
As for those players who don't have to work and haven't been offline since the beginning, they probably don't even know that the game has been updated.
After all, this game cannot access the official website from within the game, and every update does not seem to kick out online players.
Now the only thing that netizens in the forum can count on is those hardcore people who don't have to go to work or go to school during the day, and who happen to not be online anymore to stay at home.
After saying a few words, Fang Chang and Mole fell silent instantly. They probably met in the game.
As a result, more than twenty minutes passed and there was still no news.
A group of people were waiting so impatiently on the forum that they almost cursed.
Lao Bai: "These two animals are too lazy."
Keep someone under the knife: "That's right! Why don't you come back? I've been waiting for 29 minutes and 12 seconds!"
Ye Shi: "There is probably some ulterior deal here."
Teng Teng: "?Give me Kangkang. (eyes)"
Ye Shi: "Hey!"
Mole on the run in the canyon: "Ah, I'm back, I'm so happy!"
Fujiteng: “!!”
Ye Shi: "Damn it, what are you doing? Why are you so slow? And where is that bastard Fang Chang?"
Mole on the run in the canyon: "I don't know. I went to the toilet and squatted for a long time before leaving. He ran into the bathroom and didn't come out for a long time. I was too lazy to wait and left. If you don't talk about this, I will tell you
Let’s face it, the B2 floor is absolutely amazing!”
Ye Shi: "What are you talking about?"
Mole on the run in the canyon: "Don't worry, first of all, the layout of the B2 floor is similar to a circular space, fan-shaped and divided into four areas ABCD. The BCD area is a bit like a dormitory, and the A area should be a functional area with a canteen, toilets and bathrooms.
, there is a door at the back so I can’t get in, so I didn’t look at it, but the restroom and bathroom alone are amazing!”
Tomato scrambled eggs: "Canteen! There is food in it??"
Mole on the run in the canyon: "That's not true. The door to the back kitchen is locked and I can't get in. Several refrigerators and beverage machines in the hall are empty. I guess the same is true for the back kitchen, but it's good news that the refrigerator is working!
When it gets hot next year, you can have cold drinks."
"Let's not talk about the kitchen first, just talk about this bathroom. I have to give it a try! The cycle self-cleaning toilet seat and the automatic cleaning system allow you to sit on it and don't have to think about anything except pooping. We don't have to worry about being full.
When I was looking for Tess, I caught a bunch of Ollie and gave it to her! Woohoo, I'm even willing to pay for this toilet!"
WC is really a mosquito: "Damn it, shut up now, don't let the planner see this!"
Ye Shi: "Awesome! I was still discussing with Lao Bai yesterday about what to do if I get frozen during the winter. It's so cool to be able to do it in a shelter!"
Gale: "Wait a minute...you mean, there is water in the shelter? Is the toilet you are talking about a flush toilet?"
Irena: "...What do you want to do? Why do I have a bad feeling. (Funny)"
Kuang Feng: "No, just out of curiosity."
Mole on the run in the canyon: "Hahaha, of course there is water! This is the second point I want to make! The biggest difference between the B2 layer and the B1 layer is that there is a fresh water supply! Whether it is water from the lake or rainwater
Collection, or internal circulation water purification system. In short, you can drink clean drinking water from the water dispenser in the kitchen, solve internal emergencies in the technologically-rich toilet, and enjoy a 360-degree immersive shower in the bathroom with a single room! In other words,
Why hasn't Fang Chang come out yet? Are you addicted to bathing?"
Ye Shi: "To be honest, this guy is a bit perverted sometimes, but in most cases he is normal. Let's just ignore him for now."
Fang Chang: "Get lost! I came out early and was just writing a strategy post!"
Ye Shi: "Huh?"
Mole on the run in the canyon: "When you grow up, how does it feel to take a bath?"
Fang Chang: "Hmm... It's very cool. It's probably a simulated ultrasonic atomization technology, but I didn't expect to apply this technology to the shower. In short, it's quite sci-fi. You can basically stand the whole time without moving, which is completely subversive."
It gave me a better understanding of showering, and I feel like it’s worth spending money to experience it.”
Ye Shi: "What the hell? Are you so awesome? Ahhhhh, I really want to go online. I will try it out when I get back to the dormitory!"
Mole on the run in the canyon: "By the way, has your post been edited?"
Fang Chang: “It has been posted on the forum!”
…
"Guide to the B2 floor of Vault 404...have these players already visited the B2 floor?"
When Chu Guang woke up, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
The first thing I do after waking up is to turn on my computer and log in to the official website to read the posts posted by shady netizens in the forum.
Good guys, it looks like these players have turned their B2 layer upside down.
However, he had locked most of the doors and could not open them even if he tried to open them. Weapons that could break the doors were not allowed to pass through the buffer room and could not be brought into the shelter. In addition, Chu Guang gave Xiao Qi the camera permission.
With Xiaoqi helping to watch, you don’t have to worry about these players demolishing your home while you are away.
Overall, players are very excited about the content of the Alpha0.5 version update.
Especially after seeing the new high-tech facilities on the B2 floor, those players who experienced it instantly fell in love with the life here.
Compared to the surface, life in the shelter is simply too comfortable!
After reading these posts, Chu Guang somewhat understood the settings left by the first generation of managers.
Indeed, compared to the outside, this place is simply heaven.
Expecting people with two feet in heaven to build hell is an anti-human idea in itself.
Chu Guang touched his chin and thought.
"Well, it's decided that you need to use VM to obtain permission to use the living facilities in the shelter, and the water purifier, shower and toilet will be changed to paid use."
The official website message record is evidence.
This was not his idea, it was suggested by the players themselves.
In addition, some players who have bought VMs from Xiaoqi have also made some suggestions, such as simply integrating translator and wallet functions on the VM.
I would like to consider the wallet and launch it together with the banking system.
It doesn't matter even if there is no electronic payment function. The excess silver coins are stored in the bank and can be taken out when needed. This not only makes it convenient for players to check their deposits at any time, but also makes it easier for Chu Guang to recycle the currency in circulation.
It can be said to be a win-win situation!
As for the translator?
Theoretically it could take some time to do it, but it's not necessary yet.
If we rush to allow players to communicate freely with the natives now, there will be no benefit except causing a lot of trouble for ourselves.
To put it bluntly, the language barrier may be an obstacle for players, but it is not a bad thing for Chu Guang.
From the perspective of a manager, he needs to create an information gap, or an "information filter" between players and indigenous people, which is the best choice for both parties. Cross-server communication can also
Keep some beautiful imagination between each other.
Moreover, even for a game with the highest degree of freedom, it is not possible to communicate normally with a large amount of text with every NPC in the game, right?
It would be unreasonable if it could be done!
In comparison, Xia Yan, the proprietress of the weapon shop, has quite a lot of lines. When annoyed, she will not only stamp her feet anxiously, but also curse lame and cute trash words.
Many players even woke her up as soon as she fell asleep just to listen to Boss Xia's trash talk.
If there was no information filter, regardless of whether Boss Xia could still be so cute, he would definitely sympathize with the predators, or be tricked by NPCs into doing "side plots".
In addition to causing a lot of trouble and variables for myself, there is no benefit at all. Even if we need to arrange translators for them in the future, it will definitely be selective translation.
However, think about it from another angle...
"It would be possible to develop an NPC-specific version of VM."
Thinking of this, Chu Guang's eyes instantly lit up as he stared at the forum.
"The NPC-specific version of VM deletes the property panel, and adds task publishing and translation functions. The translation function only supports the translation of daily and functional terms in specific language scenarios."
Don't translate the players' dirty talk. The cultural backgrounds are different. Even if they are translated, they will be completely incorrect and may easily lead to misunderstandings.
For example, "oligei" is not suitable when translated as "just do it and it will be done" or "老八", and has different meanings in different contexts.
The proprietress of the weapons store should do what the proprietress of the weapons store should do. It is enough to know what her lines mean and what the player wants to buy.
As for other things, you will naturally know when the great manager needs you to know.
"The screen of the VM is still a bit small, and it is equivalent to a teleprompter for simultaneous interpretation... But in conjunction with language training, it is enough to just use it."
Slowly, a group of aborigines who can speak Chinese can be trained, and a level 1 to 2 level is enough. As long as they can master some game terminology and daily communication, they will be more than qualified for NPC positions.
The more Chu Guang thought about it, the more he felt that he was a genius.
