"This kind of thing is actually given directly as a reward??"
The expressions on the faces of the students in the audience were even more shocked.
The vast majority of students here are indeed what Professor He Cheng said and do not know what it is. After all, the channels for issuing internal test qualifications are relatively hidden, and ordinary people have no way of knowing.
But it doesn't mean that no one knows about it at all.
There are always some students in these game design schools who have good family backgrounds and have some inside information about the industry.
But these people didn't expect that Professor He would actually give this thing as a reward.
Because this internal test qualification is so precious!
Now almost all game companies want this testing qualification, but only a few can get it.
The official has its own set of standards. It does not simply look at the profitability of the game company, but will consider the game company's revenue, reputation of the work, level of gameplay innovation, game artistry, etc., to issue internal beta qualifications.
This internal beta qualification is currently invaluable. Previously, a game company spent hundreds of thousands to buy an internal beta qualification, but no one sold it at all.
Of course, there are various problems with this internal beta qualification.
As Professor He Cheng said, its use depends on appearance: some people can vaguely materialize some ideas in their minds, complete them through AI technology, and then simply modify them, and then use them as game materials; but there are also some people.
Humans cannot generate any useful material at all.
Just like painting, some people can draw works that are comparable to photos, some people can draw abstract paintings with distinctive styles, and some people can only draw pictures of chickens pecking at rice and poor graffiti.
At present, it seems that people who have received some professional training in art are generally better than ordinary people, but their strength is limited.
So, for now, this can only be explained by a specific gift: embodied imagination.
The higher this talent is, the more detailed and specific the resources generated through consciousness connection will be. On the contrary, it is useless to obtain the qualification for internal testing.
But in any case, it is the most cutting-edge technology now. If used properly, it can greatly reduce the cost of game development, which is what many game companies dream of.
Professor He Cheng actually gave it to a student. This thing cannot be simply described as "generous".
Professor He Cheng was very satisfied with everyone's reaction: "Looking at your unfamiliar faces, okay, let's put this matter to rest and let's continue the class.
"I will contact the top three students later and arrange for you to make games.
"I will find the investors, and I will also arrange the release and initial publicity of the game. As for you, you can improve your design. In the next period of time, you can follow the graduate students to make the game seriously.
"By the way, Lu Zhixing, come with me to the office after class. If I have something to do, I'll see you alone."
…
After class, Lu Zhixing followed Professor He Cheng to the office.
Professor He Cheng pointed to the sofa beside him: "Would you like to sit down and have some tea?"
Lu Zhixing shook his head: "No need, Professor, I don't like drinking tea very much."
"Then what do you like to drink?" Professor He filled the water dispenser with a thermos cup and sat down in front of his computer.
"Coke." Lu Zhixing was very honest.
Professor He Cheng chuckled: "Young people should drink less coke and drink tea to keep healthy. Do you know why I called you here this time?"
Lu Zhixing nodded: "It should be a matter of qualification for internal testing. But I originally wanted to find you. I revised the design draft of "Ordinary Life" again."
As he spoke, he took out the USB flash drive and handed it over.
Professor He Cheng was a little surprised: "Another revised version? Wasn't the previous final version already very perfect?
"If it were anyone else, I would definitely ask them to revise the design draft a few more times, because for them, no matter how many times they revise it, there will still be loopholes.
"But you are different. Your design draft is already very complete. It will not be good if you change it again and again frequently.
"Hey, what's wrong with your hand?"
He reached out to take the USB flash drive and suddenly discovered that Lu Zhixing had several abraded wounds on his hands, which had not yet completely healed. They had obviously been made recently.
When Lu Zhixing went to work two days ago, although he wore thread gloves, the workload was too heavy after all, and it was inevitable that he still made a few cuts. Although it was not serious, it still looked a bit scary.
"Oh, I go to work on the weekends to move bricks." Lu Zhixing said.
Professor He Cheng frowned: "Moving bricks? What kind of bricks are being moved? Do you mean moving bricks in reality?
"Are you so short of money? If you are short of money, tell me. I have plenty of work for you to do part-time. It's a waste of money for you to work part-time with such a good brain!
"Besides, I think the game "Zen" is selling well. Why are you short of money?"
Lu Zhixing hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, professor, you misunderstood, I don't work for money, I go to get materials.
"Isn't there some part-time gameplay in "Ordinary Life"? I felt that the previous design was too superficial, so I went to experience it myself for two days and made some modifications."
Professor He Cheng inserted the USB flash drive into the computer and frowned: "You are still fooling around.
"It's just a way to play part-time work. You can just look for information on the Internet. Do you really need to go and experience it in person for two days?
"I think the original design is pretty good. Different working methods each correspond to a mini-game. This design is enough. I can't think of how it could be changed."
Professor He Cheng said this, but he still clicked on the design draft to view it.
Just watching, his voice became lower and lower, and finally became completely silent.
Can it really be changed? Can it really be changed for the better?
This change mainly focuses on work methods such as takeout, express delivery, brick moving, electronics factory, and intermediary.
In the original design, these jobs only had different pre-skills, specific mini-game playing methods, and slight differences in remuneration, but in general they were divided into physical labor, and had different effects on the character's cleanliness, health, and hunger.
The impact is roughly similar to that of psychological stress.
But in Lu Zhixing's new design, these tasks are obviously different.
The prerequisites are different, which means that if players want to do these tasks, they need to upgrade specific attribute points and select specific skills and talents.
The impact of completing the work is different. For example, moving bricks reduces the cleanliness the most and requires relatively high physical strength. The work in the electronics factory has a smaller impact on cleanliness and hunger, but working overtime for a long time will accumulate a lot of energy.
pressure.
As for jobs such as delivering express delivery and working as an intermediary, higher requirements are placed on the protagonist's emotional intelligence, patience and interpersonal skills, otherwise the income will be affected.
This change is critical.
Before the change, there was not much difference between these jobs. For players, they were nothing more than going through the motions, spending time and energy to make money, and basically there was not much strategy involved.
But after the modification, the differences between these jobs can also be subdivided. For example, players can consider lowering their living and sanitary conditions to move bricks and save money as soon as possible. They can also clean themselves up and master nearby real estate knowledge, and then
Become an intermediary and try to get a higher commission with a lower probability.
The strategy of the entire game has undoubtedly reached a new level.
What surprised He Cheng even more was that even he had never thought of these points before, or in other words, he was not aware of them.
He has always subconsciously felt that these jobs are similar.
"I just want to keep it simple."
Professor He Cheng has been working hard in the game industry for so many years, and has long been satisfied with his basic material life. As a person with free wealth, he has seldom paid attention to these low-level jobs in recent years, so how could he possibly be able to distinguish these?
The difference between jobs.
If Lu Zhixing hadn't personally experienced these jobs, he would definitely not have been able to understand the secrets behind it just by thinking about it in the dormitory.
This design is definitely unrealistic.
Professor He Cheng couldn't even count. How many times had Lu Zhixing exceeded his expectations?
During this period of time, Lu Zhixing was busy with the college's welcome party and going out to move bricks and work. It seemed that he was not doing his job, but his design draft was the best, and he used all the materials he used!
The best welcome party in the history of the Game Design School, as well as the more complete design draft now, are the evidence.
This also made Professor He Cheng more certain that he was right to give the test spot to Lu Zhixing.
"Okay, let's change it this way. It's indeed better than before."
Professor He Cheng handed the USB flash drive back.
"Next, let me tell you how to use this internal beta qualification."
He opened the locked drawer under his desk and took out something similar to an electronic key.
"Tomorrow I will send you an address, and you can go directly there with the secret key.
"There is special equipment over there that will do a test for you. To put it simply, it is to see how much of your imagination can be converted into material, how efficient it is, and how accurate it is.
"If you can't convert anything after thinking for a long time, then it's useless for you to hold this internal test qualification. I will postpone this assignment in order of ranking."
Lu Zhixing was a little surprised: "Huh? Special equipment is required? Can't an ordinary fifth-generation VR game helmet do it?"
Professor He Cheng shook his head: "The fifth generation VR gaming helmet is not good.
"The situation of Taiqing Editor is quite special. Although the virtual space in the fifth-generation VR game helmet is also called 'Taiqing', this internal test uses completely different technology.
"This time the Taiqing editor is in a completely enclosed special space called 'deep space'. It is not interoperable with the virtual space of the fifth-generation VR game helmet, and it is not even fully interoperable with the Internet.
"It's not the same thing at all."
Lu Zhixing was a little surprised: "Not interoperable? Not interoperable with the Internet?"
Professor He Cheng nodded: "Yes, it is not completely interoperable. Except for a few data, most of the content cannot be interoperable.
"Have you ever used the editor of the original fifth-generation VR game helmet? Although it also uses consciousness connection technology, in fact, its application of technology is very conservative and only the most superficial.
“The built-in editor is more like a ‘painting studio’ in the virtual space. It still uses traditional input methods and has no connection with the deep thinking of the brain.
"But the internal beta version of Taiqing Editor is different. It is a completely closed system that is directly connected to people's deep consciousness. Therefore, external resources cannot be directly imported, and internal resources cannot be directly exported.
"If you want to get the materials out of here, there's only one way: manual transportation.
"Because some of the things we see in this closed space, such as pictures, are not specific codes, but are generated by computer real-time calculations through the combination of consciousness connection technology and the subconscious mind in our minds. They cannot exist without consciousness, so there is no
cannot be exported directly.”
Lu Zhixing wondered: "Then I made a game here, how can the players play it?"
Professor He Cheng explained: “Players can only experience the game by entering this closed virtual space with their consciousness.
"This is the most inconvenient part of this new technology at present, but considering the huge efficiency improvements it brings, this inconvenience is irrelevant."
