Chapter 123 Virtual Space Arrangement (Fourth update, 1500 monthly ticket for additional update)
January 19th, Friday.
Lu Zhixing is happily building in the virtual space of the deep world of 'Taiqing'.
He had already tinkered around in the original virtual space before and made a test level for the first version of "Walking with Darkness". However, with the development of subsequent games, that level had long been abandoned.
Now that the game has been largely developed, all materials and resources are available, and there won’t be much work to do after that.
Lu Zhixing was finally able to find some time to play around with this virtual space.
The specific layout of the virtual space is a bit like some management and construction games. You can arrange it however you want. If you are not satisfied, you can clear it and rebuild it at any time.
But there are only two things to note:
First, the location of the key must be hidden.
The key can be regarded as the core of the entire virtual world. If it is an unowned virtual space, the key can be easily hacked by hackers. However, even in an owned virtual space, hackers can still locate the key through certain means.
key.
The key can also be understood as the core code in the program. Once it is breached, the entire virtual space will fall apart and will soon be tampered with and stolen.
Second, the basic rules of the virtual space must be as complete and strict as possible.
There are some underlying rules in the virtual space. Hackers can find loopholes, deceive the rules, or exploit loopholes to a certain extent. The more complete the settings, the harder it will be to exploit loopholes.
Just like before, hackers could only bring guns when they invaded the virtual space, because the virtual space had similar restrictions.
Of course, since it is a basic rule, this rule will also restrict others indiscriminately, including the owner of the virtual space.
If the owner of the virtual space opens a backdoor for himself, the backdoor may be found by hackers and exploited in turn.
In short, in the deep world of "Tai Qing", anti-hacking is a very complex technology. After all, the technology itself is still very immature, and hackers naturally occupy the initiative.
Most people choose to just leave it open. They are too lazy to make too complicated decorations, or even just make a virtual office scene and use it as an online office location.
Because the virtual space itself is not a particularly precious thing, it is difficult to create a large virtual space, but many people in the research group have the most basic virtual space.
As for security measures, you can ask the official to help you. If you don't have permission, just run naked. After all, the possibility of such a small virtual space being located or invaded by hackers is very low.
If you really encounter it, you will consider yourself unlucky.
But for Lu Zhixing, he has a lot of sexy ideas waiting to be verified.
First, nest the two virtual spaces and put the small virtual space into the large virtual space.
In this way, the keys of the two virtual spaces can be embedded together and hidden in this overlapping space.
Then, through the random map generation function, all the randomly generated high-difficulty levels in "Walking with Darkness" are filled into the large virtual space.
If you crack it from the outside, you need to go through the large space first, and then work hard to squeeze into the small virtual space.
In this way, the entire virtual space becomes a huge maze.
Not only that, Lu Zhixing also plans to make this maze in motion at any time, just like a Rubik's Cube, with different blocks moving, combining and changing according to certain rules.
Finally, the strictest underlying settings were made for the entire virtual space. No weapons were allowed. At the same time, there were a large number of dangerous zombies and mechanical hunters inside.
Because the more underlying restrictions on oneself, the more underlying restrictions on hackers. However, hackers can exploit loopholes, so the force value is probably higher than that of the owner of the virtual space.
Under such strict restrictions, hackers can only carry some ordinary firearms, which are completely insufficient in terms of firepower.
The reason why Lu Zhixing went through so much trouble was of course due to caution. Although the probability of encountering a hacker was not high, what if it happened? Although the official would also provide a certain amount of security, it would depend on the official's performance in previous motion capture competitions.
…I’m afraid it’s hard to count on.
On the other hand, of course it's because... he has nothing to do.
It is quite meaningful to practice using the virtual world and test the generation of random levels. Let the AI run through the level and conduct in-depth debugging.
"Okay, it's almost done!"
At the core of the two virtual spaces nested, there is an ordinary room, and the keys to the two virtual spaces are placed in the room.
Lu Zhixing just ran around in this virtual space. On the one hand, he wanted to test the game, and on the other hand, he also continued to improve and consolidate his parkour skills.
…
January 21st, Sunday.
Lu Zhixing was lying on the sofa in the rental house, drinking iced Coke and watching TV while checking his account balance and figuring out how to spend the money in the future.
The first time he came to this world, he encountered the financial crisis of the Internet cafe, and then Professor He Cheng's homework, the establishment of Studio 404, recruitment, and a series of other things, plus all kinds of...
Time-limited role-playing missions...
Lu Zhixing was basically so busy that he had no time to think about these issues.
Now that the development of "Walking with Darkness" has been basically completed, we are just waiting for its official release next week, so I can finally take a break.
So far, Lu Zhixing has developed four games: "Zen", "In My Eyes of You", "Ordinary Life", and "Overcoming Difficulties with Cats".
Among them, "Zen" and "Overcoming Difficulties with Cats" are both distributed under Stranger's personal account. The former is sold at a very low price, and the latter is directly free, so the income from this area is basically negligible.
The cumulative revenue of "Zen" is only about 200,000 yuan. After all, its selling price is only 5 yuan and 10 yuan, and it has to be divided with the official platform. It is a miracle that it can sell so many copies.
Some of this money was used to maintain the normal turnover of the Internet cafe, and some was used for various performance expenses. In short, there was not much left.
The money earned by "In My Eyes" is just close to one million, which is not a lot. After all, it is a story-based game, and many people have heard about it in the video, so the sales volume cannot be too exaggerated.
But this game has a lot of stamina, and it should continue to earn good income for a long time to come. When the official platform holds special events for plot-based games, it may become popular again.
"Ordinary Life" is the biggest earner. This game has sold more than 400,000 copies in two months after its release. After including platform share, tax deduction and other factors, it has brought nearly 35 million to Lu Zhixing.
income.
This is thanks to the healthier single-player game market in this world. In Lu Zhixing's previous life, selling 100,000 copies of this game in China would have been enough to celebrate with gongs and drums. It would be difficult to recover the cost.
Of course, the production of these games is not completely cost-free.
Although Lu Zhixing, the material for making the game, can be directly exchanged with the life playing game and then generated with consciousness, which greatly saves the funds required for game development, there are still many places to spend money.
For example, when the resource quota is not enough, you have to borrow it from the group, or spend money to find other people to buy it. And if you want to transport the generated materials, you have to pay the transportation fee to the group.
Of course, other designers will also come to buy these resources from Lu Zhixing. Some are settled with points, some are settled with money, and a lot of blood can be returned.
In addition, 404 Studio is now larger in scale, and the company's daily expenses have also skyrocketed, such as renting office space, staff salaries, etc., which cannot be ignored like in the past.
Although Li Rushan's investment was partly responsible for this, Lu Zhixing also had to contribute some money.
All in all, the funds currently lying in 404 Studio's account have reached a huge 29 million, and with the release of "Walking with Darkness", this number should continue to expand rapidly.
For a start-up company, this is already a terrifying rate of attracting money.
As long as "Walking with Darkness" becomes a hit, the role-playing mission of Invested Shinhwa should be completed immediately.
There was so much money that Lu Zhixing didn't know how to spend it for a while.
But he is not in a hurry, he has plenty of time to plan slowly.
Just then, his cell phone rang.
It was an early warning message from the system background. His virtual space was invaded!
This was the first time he received an early warning message after completing the layout of the virtual space three days ago.
Lu Zhixing was a little surprised: "Huh? There really is a hacker who has thrown himself into the trap!"
