After finalizing the office space, all work in Studio 404 began to proceed in an orderly manner.
The first step is to renovate and reorganize the site, replace all the older equipment with new ones, redecorate some areas that are relatively rustic and not beautiful enough, and then set aside a special office area.
For example, the original parkour climbing gym did not have any game elements. Apart from the climbable rock walls, the only decoration was graffiti related to extreme sports painted on the walls.
The level of these graffiti is not high, and it is incompatible with the game theme of 404 Studio, so I simply changed them all.
Lu Zhixing had a lot of game materials in his mind, and he happened to borrow the scaffolding from the construction team that was being renovated. He bought various colors of paint and decorated the entire interior of the venue.
Lu Zhixing's painting skills can be compared to that of a human flesh printer. Of course, the premise is that he can only paint the materials he already has in his mind.
Originally, he planned to do it all by himself, but Li Rushan firmly disagreed and insisted that he would spend money to hire several senior painters to help.
As a result, within two or three days, the entire parkour and climbing gym took on a completely new look, becoming more like a game company, or a game-themed venue.
All the rock climbing and parkour equipment have also been brand new, and all the places that had slight hidden dangers due to long use have been repaired.
The office area was also quickly completed, with spacious desks, multi-screen high-end computers, comfortable single sofas, fifth-generation VR headsets, and dedicated conference rooms, lounges, entertainment rooms, and small restaurants.
The layout is still as Lu Zhixing said before, the R&D department and the transplanting department are separated. The R&D department mainly uses fifth-generation VR helmets to produce, while the transplanting department mainly uses computers and other conventional equipment to transplant completed VR games to
Other platforms.
A game like "In My Eyes" is okay. After all, it is a VR game produced using conventional methods, so it is not difficult to transplant it.
But "Ordinary Life" uses new technology, which is more troublesome. It requires specialized painters to move resources, and then specialized designers to re-create it using conventional methods. Even if you encounter some small bugs, you need to find a program to fix them.
The layout of the entire office area was arranged by Li Rushan, adhering to the principle of as large an entertainment space as possible and providing as many stationery items as possible. After fully calculating staff redundancy, all office configurations were fully occupied.
Lu Zhixing also called Wang Yang and moved the VR game cabin in the Internet cafe that can use the latest technology.
It's a pity that the current quota for this kind of equipment is limited, so you can only get this one at the moment, and other people don't have internal testing rights, so they can't use it at all.
We can only wait until 404 Studio develops and grows in the future, and has enough weight with the official side, before we can hope to get more new VR game cabins and internal testing qualifications.
However, although others are not eligible for internal testing, they can accept invitations in the virtual world and freely enter the virtual space that Lu Zhixing just obtained through the fifth-generation VR game helmet.
Liu Bo and others were very curious about this, so after the entire office area was roughly completed, Lu Zhixing worked with everyone to briefly debug the virtual space.
…
Everyone put on VR game helmets one after another, and soon, they received an invitation from "404 Studio".
Pushing open the new door that appeared in the hall, everyone found themselves in a brand new pure white space.
It feels a bit like the editor here, except that the system prompt clearly tells them that they are already in the deep space of "Tai Qing".
"Is this the deep space? It feels... not much different from the game." Li Rushan looked around curiously.
Lu Zhixing nodded: "Of course, in fact, the game "Ordinary Life" was made in the deep space of Taiqing. The feeling in the virtual space is similar to that in "Ordinary Life"."
Zhao Haoyan made a gesture and said doubtfully: "Huh? There's no way to summon the operating surface here, and you can't see other people's nicknames."
Lu Zhixing nodded: "Yes, this is the deep world of 'Tai Qing', which is different from the editor. Everything here is generated by consciousness, and you can't see other people's nicknames, just like in reality, everyone
I won’t go out with my name on my head.”
Li Rushan was a little confused: "Then what is the use of this place?"
Lu Zhixing explained: "There are infinite possibilities here, such as this."
After saying that, he poured out all the materials in his mind.
Everyone stood there, watching helplessly as a building rose up in front of them. It was just a vague shadow at first, but soon, various details began to appear, and from the outside in, it became more and more real.
Finally, as the texture of the exterior walls was refined, the interior space gradually took shape.
Lu Yixiao said in surprise: "Hey, isn't this the complex building of our school? But it looks slightly different, and the internal structure is also different."
Lu Zhixing led everyone inside. There was an elevator and many rooms.
With Lu Zhixing's imagination, these rooms are still changing. The sizes are getting bigger and bigger. The narrow windows in the complex building have become huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The podiums, tables and chairs in the classrooms in the complex building have also become
Desks and chairs commonly found in office buildings.
However, if you look closely, you will find that these elements have actually appeared in "Ordinary Life" before, but they are combined in new ways.
"This...this is so amazing!" Li Rushan was dumbfounded.
Although he had experienced "Ordinary Life" before, he only felt that the resources were more refined, and he did not intuitively feel the essential difference between this game created in the deep world of "Tai Qing".
But when he saw Lu Zhixing performing "raising a tall building from the ground", he was completely shocked.
This is nothing short of a miracle!
Lu Zhixing explained: "All resources that have been generated in the deep space can be directly called in this virtual space. So I can use all the resources used in "Ordinary Life" and combine them at will."
Everyone took the elevator to a high place and looked into the distance.
Liu Bo was surprised: "How big is this place?"
Lu Zhixing explained: "The area of level 1 virtual space is about 1 cubic kilometer. Of course, the game source code associated with it is not included in it."
Liu Bo heard another new term: "What is 'game source code'?"
Lu Zhixing randomly found a window and opened it. A road appeared in front of him. After everyone stepped on it and walked out, they found that in the distance of this virtual space, they seemed to be able to vaguely see the shadow of a city building.
It's the same urban area in the game "Ordinary Life".
Lu Zhixing pointed: "That is the position of "Ordinary Life" in the deep world of 'Tai Qing'. It can also be understood as the source code, so it is also called the game source code. If I delete them here, all
"Ordinary Life" in the VR game helmet will crash and become inaccessible.
“This virtual space can be seen as the core or anchor point of our deep world of ‘Tai Qing’. Through it, we can connect all games produced in the future.
"Of course, most people currently use it as a virtual office space."
Zhao Haoyan scratched his head: "Office space? Then why are we still renting office space outside..."
Li Rushan's heart skipped a beat and he quickly said: "Mr. Lu, let's make an agreement first. The office space outside has been rented and is almost finished. You can't change your mind now! You can't spend this money."
retreat!"
Lu Zhixing explained with a smile: "This can indeed be used as an office space, and many small independent studios with only one or two people do this, but there are certain disadvantages.
"The deep world of 'Tai Qing' is not connected to the outside Internet, so there is no way to use external resources, and there is no way to port the game to other platforms. If you want to do these things, you still have to work in reality.
"So, this virtual space can only be used as a supplement to working from home. Some small independent game studios do not have high requirements in this regard, so they can naturally rely on virtual space to work. However, our 404 studio will develop and expand in the future.
We cannot completely cut off the connection with reality, of course we still need to find an office space in reality.”
Li Rushan nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, Mr. Lu is still clear-headed!"
He almost thought that Lu Zhixing would not rent a venue in reality and would spend a lot less money, but he was shocked.
Lu Zhixing continued: "With the subsequent development of "Walking with Darkness", I will continue to improve this virtual space. You can often check it out and play when you have nothing to do."
