Lu Zhixing could not restrain his urge to complain: "I played the role of a tree, and then the material really only gave me one tree!
"What games can I do with just this tree!"
[Players please be patient, you can also spend points to collect materials in reality, or purchase materials directly in the game's material library. However, the latter will be sold at a higher price. 】
Lu Zhixing nodded when he heard the words: "That's right, I don't only have one tree, I also have 200 points.
"I don't know what the prices are in the material library. If these points can buy a lot of resources, then the misunderstanding will be resolved."
A new interface appeared in Lu Zhixing's field of vision, but nothing was displayed on the interface for the time being, only a search box.
This should be the material library that comes with the life-playing game.
Lu Zhixing thought for a moment and entered a keyword at random: prison.
With a "swish" sound, several different styles of prisons were displayed in different categories on the interface, including domestic ones, foreign ones, modern ones, ancient ones, and some fantasy-style ones.
Lu Zhixing randomly opened a foreign-style prison, which looked very similar to the style of some prison-break movies or TV series.
Here, you can also customize the size of the prison, add new functional areas, and even customize prisoners or guards with different shapes. Conversely, you can also select only a small part of the area.
The larger the size, the more customization content, and the more expensive the price.
If you want a complete set of prison templates with all configurations, the displayed points price is...
80000!
Lu Zhixing was shocked. Looking at his pitiful 200 points, he was speechless for a moment.
"This is too expensive! You have to play the role of a tree 400 times before you can afford it!"
Although the content of this prison template is very complete, as long as you buy it, you can directly create a prison escape puzzle game, but the price makes Lu Zhixing prohibitive.
[Purchasing resources directly in the material library is a faster way, so it is more expensive. 】
[Players can also consider using materials in reality, and the points consumed will be greatly reduced. 】
Lu Zhixing suddenly realized: "So that's it."
Purchasing materials directly consumes more points than obtaining materials in reality, but it is more convenient and suitable for some scenes where it is difficult to obtain materials in reality.
For example, this prison scene is not very convenient to draw from in reality. You can't go to Orange to experience it in person, right?
At this time, it is much more cost-effective to purchase directly with points.
Of course, in reality, it may be more cost-effective to find an outsourcing team to produce relevant materials, provided you have money.
"Okay, then I'll try the material extraction function again.
"If 200 points can collect a lot of things, then it's acceptable."
Lu Zhi walked out of the utility room and looked at the entire second floor of the Internet cafe.
The next second, instructions appeared in his field of vision.
[Materials - Internet cafe: Spend 10,000 points to purchase an Internet cafe template. This template includes most of the materials related to Internet cafes, including the overall structure of the Internet cafe, different decorative styles, computers, tables and chairs, shop assistants (including models and various
actions) and other related content.]
Lu Zhixing carefully counted the 0s after 1 and fell silent again.
“Emmmm, it’s indeed a lot cheaper.
"...what a ghost!
"Is this what you call 'significant reduction in points consumption'? With 10,000 points, wouldn't it still take 50 times of playing the tree to afford it?"
Lu Zhixing looked at his pitiful 200 points and deeply felt what it meant to be short of money.
“There are only 200 points in total, and you can’t buy any large-scale materials. Considering the size of a game, it’s not enough!
"Furthermore, the game has not released new role-playing tasks for me, which means that even if I want to continue playing the role of Big Tree to earn points, it is impossible."
I had no money before, but now I have no points and no money.
Uncomfortable!
Lu Zhixing was a little discouraged, but he was not a person who gave up easily.
"Don't be defeated by difficulties. If there are difficulties, you must overcome them. If there are no difficulties, you must overcome them if you create difficulties!"
"Oh no, it should be done even if there are no conditions to create conditions!
"If you want to make a game with the limited materials on hand, you must use the materials of that tree. According to the mall pricing, the materials of this tree are probably worth at least a few hundred points. I currently have
The most valuable material.
“In addition, whether you are purchasing or collecting materials, narrowing the scope can also significantly reduce the points required.
"What kind of game can we make with these limited resources..."
Lu Zhixing fell into deep thought.
In fact, the life playing game is not Lu Zhixing’s only golden finger. He also has an invisible golden finger, which is his past life experience.
In his previous life, he was a feature planner for a game company. Although he was essentially a brick-and-mortar guy, his experience in game companies over the past few years has made his game understanding surpass that of most people.
What's more, he is a time traveler and has seen many excellent works of art in that world. This kind of vision and perspective can cause a dimensionality reduction blow to the designers of this world.
"Yes!"
Lu Zhixing had a flash of inspiration and had an idea.
He thought of several very famous games in his previous life, known as the "Four Great Masterpieces of Steam", each of which could be considered a heavyweight individually.
And some of these games can be made using the materials he has in hand!
Of course, there are certain accidental factors that make these games popular. If you want to make their success inevitable in this parallel world, you have to make some small adaptations.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhixing immediately started the preparation work before making the game.
First, find the prison template that you have seen before in the mall, and then limit the scope to a very simple cell.
Originally, the entire prison template was sold for 80,000 points, but it was limited to just one cell. Since there were almost no other materials except bare walls and floors, it only cost 70 points.
Then, Lu Zhixing went out again, left the Internet cafe, took a bus to the old city, and found a stone bridge.
I spent 110 points to capture this stone bridge and some of the scenery around it, such as the water flowing under the bridge, the surrounding scenery, etc.
With 20 points left, Lu Zhixing wandered around the mall again and found that some basic functions were very cheap, so he bought a simple music game function: players can play different notes by pressing the buttons.
It is normal for this kind of function to be sold cheaply. After all, in reality, anyone with a little bit of programming ability can create it in the editor without any pressure.
…
After collecting the materials, Lu Zhixing returned to the Internet cafe, put on the VR game helmet again, and entered the editor.
I briefly searched through the material library that comes with the editor, but I didn't see the materials I had purchased before.
Judging from the current situation, they seem to only exist in Lu Zhixing's mind.
"Could it be that……"
Lu Zhixing naturally had a bold idea. He opened the image drawing and model making tools that came with the editor and tried to reawaken those extremely clear materials in his mind.
The next second, something magical happened.
He actually started making models at an extremely fast speed!
At this time, Lu Zhixing seemed to be under trusteeship, transformed into a humanoid printer, and moved the materials into the editor in an incredible way!
Every detail is accurate and extremely efficient.
Of course, because the material itself is very delicate, such as the tree, which has very complex texture details, the difficulty of drawing it is about the same as hand-drawing a hyper-realistic painting in reality.
In this "humanoid printer" state, it still took Lu Zhixing several hours to transport all these models and textures.
But this is already a very exaggerated speed.
If the same material is handed over to a professional art team, it will still take several days to complete it with a good division of labor.
When Lu Zhixing moved all the prepared materials into the editor, he looked at the time and saw that more than six hours had passed.
It's late at night now.
"I see, the 'Life Playing Game' will imprint all these materials in my mind and give me the ability to produce them. In other words, the materials I obtain in reality can be transported with a certain amount of time.
Go to the editor, then make it into a game and publish it to the virtual world.
"I just don't know if there will be a more labor-saving and faster way to carry it in the future. It's really tiring..."
After more than six hours of continuous high-intensity work, Lu Zhixing felt dizzy and indescribably exhausted.
He originally wanted to take a rest and officially start game production after getting up tomorrow, but after thinking about it, he decided to finish it in one go.
Because the game he wants to make this time is not complicated and should take an hour or two to complete. Moreover, if the game is completed earlier, it can be submitted for review earlier and put on the shelves earlier to make money.
Lu Zhixing began to organize, classify, splice, and sew these materials into a game.
If there were other people watching at this time, their faces would be filled with shock.
What are you doing?
It cannot be said that these game materials of Lu Zhixing are not closely related, it can only be said that they are completely unrelated.
A single cell in a cell, a field, a tree, a stone bridge...
No matter how you look at it, this is impossible to defeat!
But there is no way, Lu Zhixing only has so many resources at hand now.
In fact, he originally wanted to use that wilderness to make a hunting simulator or fishing simulator, but after a brief research, he found that he could not afford firearm templates and could not create complex hunting or fishing gameplay, so this
Ideas can only die prematurely.
As for the game Lu Zhixing wants to make now...
There may be hundreds of millions of cheats, but it is already the best use of these materials.
Moreover, there is a chance that it will become popular, although this chance is not very great.
Before I knew it, another hour had passed.
"Done!"
Lu Zhixing finally breathed a sigh of relief. He checked it one last time to make sure that the game fully realized his original idea.
Then, he saved the project file and generated two different versions: the normal version and the VR version.
It doesn't take much effort anyway, and one more version will increase the possibility of success.
If the game becomes popular, Lu Zhixing would not mind releasing mobile and console versions later.
Finally, you need to give the game a name.
Lu Zhixing thought for a while and filled in the name and introduction that he had already thought of, which seemed a bit mysterious.
Game name: "Zen".
Game introduction: All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such.
Game price: PC version is 5 yuan, VR version is 10 yuan.
After a final inspection to ensure there were no problems, Lu Zhixing submitted it for review.
Then he exited the virtual world, took off his gaming helmet, washed himself briefly, then lay down on the camp bed and fell asleep.
…
…
At noon the next day, Lu Zhixing woke up in the storage room on the second floor of the Internet cafe.
Last night I played the game in one go, which consumed a lot of brain cells, so much so that Lu Zhixing is still a little confused now.
Lu Zhixing, who was hungry, went to the bathroom of the Internet cafe to simply wash his face, then went to the front desk to get a bucket of instant noodles, added a piece of grilled sausage, and then found a computer in the corner to search for keys in the game mall.
Words: "Zen".
Soon, the game he made yesterday actually appeared in the search results.
"The review speed in this world is quite fast."
If it can be found, it means it has been reviewed.
But so far, it is still in a state of complete neglect. There are no clicks, no sales, and no reviews.
A perfect three-free product.
"...It's too unreliable to expect natural exposure."
This was within Lu Zhixing's expectation. It was already very difficult for a game as simple as this and even a bit deceptive to pass the review. It was almost impossible to obtain official recommended resources.
Without the initial exposure, there is naturally no possibility of subsequent hits.
“If we continue to wait like this, I don’t know if we have to wait until the Year of the Monkey or the Horse or the Internet Cafe to close down, but we may not even have the first player.
