Digital Life (Absolut01) - Chapter 31

[thirty-one.]

The name “Rise” is more of a question than a description.

The game is based on the modern history of China starting in 1840, and the game covers the time span from 1840 to 1949.

Any online game before “Rise”, although there is no shortage of historical themes, without exception, selects a specific background to establish the world view of the game.

“Rise” is different.

A ratio is established between the game time and the real time, and all the actions of the player in the game are really time-consuming.

However, such a long period of history, even if it is converted in proportion, is quite an unacceptable time.

In “Rise”, the setting of selecting historical events for time jumps is adopted in stages. In the game settings, NPCs will automatically evolve historical events according to the original context. Of course, players have the power to change history, but if If the player fails to meet the conditions for changing history, the real historical event will occur in the game, and then the calendar in the game will automatically jump to the next historical event.

For example, the initial opening of the game is that Lin Zexu’s Humen sells cigarettes. Between this event and the first Opium War, if the player can organize a strong enough army, and then defeat the United Kingdom in the first Opium War, it may be From the very beginning, the whole of history went in a completely different direction.

However, history itself has the inevitability of its development. The manifestation of this inevitability in the game is called “historical barrier points.” The historical barrier points are 10 million points.

That is to say, if before the war, players can improve their combat effectiveness through various tasks set in the game, by joining the army, improving their personal level, repairing facilities, developing the economy, researching technology, popularizing academics, etc. Points will be continuously reduced. Of course, this reduction is difficult, and some things can only be subtracted by a few tenths of a point… And even if this value is reduced to zero, it does not mean that this event will definitely be changed, but In a specific battle, the two sides should be able to fight equally.

If in the actual battle, it still fails, then the time will jump directly to a few years later… The Taiping Rebellion movement is surging.

Moreover, this historical barrier score is not yet the final value. Players can choose the camp of the great powers and continuously improve this historical barrier score.

In terms of reproducing history, in addition to the text materials compiled by Xiaoyu, more historical materials, especially pictures of historical materials have been collected. The game will be basically designed according to the real environment of each period, and the number of NPCs in the game is unprecedented.

In various historical periods, famous characters in various fields are reflected in the game. For example, in the late Qing Dynasty, people such as Lin Zexu, Li Hongzhang, the Empress Dowager Cixi, Hu Xueyan, Tan Sitong, Liang Qichao, etc. were also seen. In the period of the Republic of China, there would naturally be many warlords. Others are more, if they are interested, they can even fight with Lu Xun.

Some of these NPCs only carry a few tasks, while others maintain a system, and players can also influence these NPCs and the authority they represent. Dai Anlan’s adjutant of the expeditionary force, Yang Jingyu’s assistant, etc., are also likely to make a more positive contribution to changing history and changing historical barrier points… Of course, it may also be an obstacle, it depends on each person’s own. stand.

The game does not preset a position or faction for each player. If you like to be an undercover agent, there is nothing you can do, but NPCs will also check this situation.

Needless to say, the complicated skill tree and technology tree in the game alone are enough for some players to study for a long time.

In fact, what each player can access is only a part of skills and a part of technology, but everyone’s development can be unlimited,

they can master a certain skill, become an expert, or dabble in a variety of skills, so as to obtain broader development Prospects are entirely a matter of personal preference.

In terms of weapons and props alone, there are too many types. When you really want to organize an army, if you encounter a group of players who use a variety of weapons, such as 20 people, and there are 10 kinds of weapons, that is enough. Crash any commander and logistics officer.

When the time jumps due to historical events, the system will automatically change to equipment of the same level and different historical periods, such as an ordinary infantryman.

Various complicated settings embody a very precise logic internally, and in terms of various numerical settings, those game planners with rich experience can’t pick out any major problems. The whole project is so fast and efficient. push forward.

This kind of extremely grand setting was impossible to achieve before, and with the establishment of the new server structure, in theory, this game can have unlimited players to join, and the charm of this game has become stronger and stronger.

After all, thousands of people on a server and hundreds of thousands on a server are not an order of magnitude at all.

In order to make this project go smoothly, Lv Zhenyu introduced the task points mechanism that the company has just established into the online game development team. Everyone can freely choose the tasks they think are competent in their respective fields, or find someone to cooperate with them. Task.

The coordination team headed by Lu Zhenyu is only responsible for task management and providing support. By the way, opposite the elevator on the floor where the development team is located, a huge LCD display wall is placed, showing the score ranking of all staff, the ranking of excellent evaluations, etc. Statistical data.

In the entire company, the one who scratches his head the most is Peng Hannian, who is responsible for introducing Pilu of the type of game and game features to curious reporters.

In the end, at the press conference, every reporter got a more than 200-page introduction, which was basically sorted out according to the paragraph of the general description of the game in Xiaoyu’s planning book.

The 7700-page full version of the planning book, not everyone has the courage to read it, and the entire company has also been read by a few people later, and as the development of each team progresses, this terrifying number is still increasing.

When this heavy material and several chapters of high-precision demonstration pictures specially made for the press conference turned into the largest report size in newspapers and magazines, no more than 1p, this game has become the most anticipated game by players.

The enthusiastic response from the players has greatly encouraged the development team, but also put enormous pressure on it. According to the usual development speed, it is not a big problem for a game of this scale to take 3 or 5 years. If you drag on a few more tickets, it will be even more difficult to say when.

The development of the digital totem this time is also based on strong technical and financial support and first-class project management, in order to shorten the development cycle of this project to such a degree.

A few days after the May Day holiday, on May 11, a special investment in an online game project changed the development plan. The money came from Nintendo.

Nintendo has been in Europe for a few months, not busy with any trade projects, but negotiated and acquired a cg studio with good reputation and huge influence, but not very well managed, the design and production of this studio They are all very capable, but they lack a bit of luck. Their works can win awards, but they still don’t sell well.

Nintendo originally wanted to enter the field of animation and digital imaging through this studio, but now, when he saw this project of digital totem, he was moved.

Ren Tianxing sensitively recognized the opportunities in this field. In less than 20 hours, he packed the studio with equipment and all kinds of sundries on the plane and transported it to Shanghai. He made an appointment with Lu Zhenyu and signed the contract with Lu Zhenyu. The outsourcing agreement for all scene animations in the game, at the same time, the studio in his hands will enter the digital totem online game development team to work, plus Ren Tianxing has invested another 30 million euros in this project, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Ren Ren Tianxing will have 35% in this project, but there are additional requirements for Nintendo’s money.

Nintendo did not approve the plan that Lu Zhenyu originally approved. Although the production cycle is not too long, players will gradually lose their enthusiasm for this game if they wait too long. The money Nintendo has invested must be used to improve Game development speed and public relations activities.

Ren Tianxing is really a shrewd businessman and investor. After he persuaded Lu Zhenyu to accept his proposal, the company’s executives began to re-examine this new partner.

When it was known in private that this investor was actually the godfather of the underworld in Shanghai, and the drama of the return of the king had just been staged, a timid person like Hang Ying began to look at Nintendo with trepidation.

Now that a promise has been made, it must be acted upon, and to act, there must be a reasonable plan.

Lu Zhenyu decided to develop 5 scenarios with specific time and geographical restrictions for testing and publicity before October 1st, and initially selected: the First Opium War, the Sino-Japanese War, the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Taierzhuang Battle, and the Crossing of the River Battle these 5 historical events.

After assigning the task, Lv Zhenyu himself had to leave Shanghai. He will have his position among the experts of the military observation team in the Sino-South Korean joint military exercise starting on May 20.

“Blue Bird”, the most terrifying anti-ship missile in history is about to be revealed to the world.
