Chapter 158 New role-playing mission (first update)
February 19, Monday.
The Spring Festival holiday is over, and Studio 404 has officially started working.
Although the development of the new game has not yet officially started, everyone has their own work.
The porting team began to seize the time to come up with a porting plan for "Walking with Darkness" and strive to port it to the computer and console as soon as possible. Forget about the mobile version, the type of game is really not suitable.
After "Walking with Darkness" is transplanted to the computer, it will definitely lose some of its essence. After all, whether you play with a keyboard and mouse or a controller on the computer, some parkour levels can be completed by just pressing a button and the game character is so difficult.
There is no doubt that it has been greatly reduced.
Naturally, there is no way to consciously connect VR games to exercise specific movements and improve muscle memory.
However, not every player likes such hard-core gameplay. There are still many players who prefer the traditional game mode of keyboard, mouse or controller. The transplanted version of "Walking with Darkness" is mainly prepared for these people.
Even if the operation mode is changed, "Walking with Darkness" itself can still be regarded as a horror game with its level design, decryption gameplay, cat-cat interaction and other game content.
As for the people in the R&D team, they are busy summarizing the various opinions of players on "Walking with Darkness" and making subsequent version updates, adjustments and modifications.
In addition, the official side has also given new rewards.
Three new closed beta accesses and three new VR game cabins.
Although everyone in 404 Studio could freely enter and exit the virtual space before, no one else had the same permissions to generate resources and edit resources as Lu Zhixing did.
Although Lu Zhixing's own efficiency is high enough, he has to make any small modifications himself, which is still a bit troublesome after all.
After obtaining the new internal testing permissions and the new VR game cabin this time, Lu Zhixing can assign the permissions to Liu Bo, Lu Yixiao and Zhao Haoyan, allowing them to attack him within their capabilities.
On the first day of work after the Spring Festival, Lu Zhixing also gave big red envelopes to all employees, and everyone quickly got into work with full enthusiasm.
However, after the excitement, Lu Zhixing returned to his work station, looking at the new performance tasks in his field of vision and feeling worried.
This role-playing mission is still very difficult as always!
[Main role-playing mission 1: Please play the role of a martial arts master who does not practice martial arts]
[Acquired Role Playing Skill 1 - Martial Arts Wizard: Your understanding, learning and imitation abilities of various martial arts and combat routines will be comprehensively improved. 】
[Main role-playing task 2:: Please play the role of a top student who is not doing his job (attend two non-major courses and gain something)]
[Acquired Acting Skill 2 - Super Memory: During the learning process with high concentration, your memory will be comprehensively improved, and the memorized content will be less likely to be forgotten]
[Main role-playing mission 3: Please play the role of a collector of explicit figures]
[Acquired Acting Skill 3 - Figure Strengthening: As the number of figures collected increases, your bone strength will also be enhanced accordingly. 】
Before, Lu Zhixing only saw the first role-playing target, and already his eyesight went dark.
As a result, the latter two are not simple either.
Although understood from the literal meaning, these three role-playing tasks are not particularly difficult, but these role-playing tasks will definitely have some hidden rules.
After performing specific behaviors, these implicit rules must be roughly deduced based on the growth of the performance progress, and then targeted performance can be performed to ensure that the performance task is successfully completed within the time limit.
In short, the task is still very difficult!
Especially for the person who plays the role of a "collector of explicit figures", I always feel like... is this going to make me continue on the road to social death and never come back?
Of course, after completing the role-playing tasks in 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 redeem them as soon as possible.
[Playing skills - Investors are not optimistic (enhanced version): You will naturally be disliked by all investors, and they will sincerely disagree with your profitability. (Enhanced effect: This effect can be extended to all broad senses
"Investor".)]
[Playing skills - Act with caution (enhanced version): The more cautious you are, the more preparations you make, and the stronger your control over your body in extreme sports such as parkour and rock climbing. (Enhanced effect: This effect can be extended to
In all sports.)]
[Playing skills - I am a cat (enhanced version): You will have the flexibility and agility of a cat, but you will also be unable to help but perform cat behaviors such as licking fur and sharpening claws. (Enhanced effect: Under normal conditions, you
Resist instinctive behaviors such as licking fur. But when you engage in these behaviors, your flexibility and agility will be further improved.)]
These skills are all very useful to Lu Zhixing.
Among them, the skill of "investors' disapproval" can even be extended to all "investors in a broad sense", which is quite interesting.
"Being disliked" can also play a role in certain situations. The simplest example is: when you do 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 will have to be developed later.
Lu Zhixing was thinking about how to complete the new role-playing task when he heard everyone saying hello.
"Mr. Li is back?"
"Mr. Li, happy New Year!"
"Hey? Mr. Li also prepared a red envelope for you? 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 company's employees, but when he heard the blessing of "make a fortune in the new year", he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
After briefly greeting the other employees, Li Rushan went straight to Lu Zhixing's workstation.
"Mr. Lu! I'm back!
"How about the design of the new game? Do you have any idea?"
Li Rushan's face was filled with anticipation.
The previous two consecutive explosions of "Walking with Darkness" and Parkour Climbing Hall caused him to suffer a critical hit of 10,000 points. At this time, the amount of money he had to spend on 404 Studio was a huge 14 million.
Not to mention the money earned from the parkour climbing gym, he still had to think of other ways to spend it.
To sum it up in four words, it’s a lot of pressure!
Therefore, the next new game from 404 Studio has become the focus of Li Rushan's attention.
If this game still sounds unreliable as always, then a big stone in Li Rushan's heart will be temporarily settled: Wolong has not left me, and the money can be spent with confidence!
But if this time Lu Zhixing comes up with a plan that sounds very reliable...
Then it's not just a matter of whether the money can be spent, Li Rushan has to seriously reconsider whether Wolong is still Wolong.
In fact, the success of "Walking with Darkness" has made Li Rushan a little skeptical. However, the game plan itself does have huge risks, and its success is also full of accidental factors.
Even Li Rushan himself played an irreplaceable and important role in the popularity of the game and parkour climbing gym.
So he had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky and wait with great anticipation for the next game from 404 Studio.
Hearing Li Rushan's question, Yao Wenyang, who was busy writing the transplant plan for "Walking with Darkness", laughed: "Mr. Li, are you too anxious? You can't be careless about game design plans, even if they are
For an experienced game designer, it will take at least ten days and a half to write the first draft of a plan.
"What do you think Mr. Lu is? He's not that productive. It takes time for this guy to have inspiration."
Lu Zhixing was silent for a moment: "Actually, I really thought of a plan."
Yao Wenyang made a "pop" sound 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.
Upon hearing this, Li Rushan immediately became energetic: "Oh? Tell me quickly, what type 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 successfully played. What if we follow the same example and make another type of horror game? Then the possibility of success is almost certain!
Lu Zhixing shook his head: "Of course not, Mr. Li, who do you think I am? I have a dream!
