Play Game of Life

"Taiqing Editor Level 1 Internal Test Qualification?"

"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 really did what Professor Cheng said, and they didn't know what it was. After all, the distribution channels of this kind of internal test qualifications are relatively hidden, and ordinary people have no way of knowing.

But it's not enough to say that no one knows at all.

There are always a few students from these game design colleges who have good family backgrounds and can grasp some inside information about the industry.

But these people didn't expect that Professor He would give out this thing as a reward.

Because this internal test qualification is too precious!

Now almost all game companies want this test 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 considers the game company's revenue, word of mouth, gameplay innovation, game artistry, etc. to issue internal test qualifications.

This closed beta qualification is currently invaluable. Previously, a game company offered hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a closed beta qualification, but no one sold it.

Of course, there are still various problems with this internal test qualification.

Just as Professor He Cheng said, it is very attractive to use: some people can vaguely realize some ideas in their minds, complete them with AI technology, and then simply repair them, and they can be used as game materials; Humans simply cannot generate any useful material.

Just like painting, some people can draw photo-like works, some can draw abstract paintings with strong styles, and some can only draw chicken pecking rice pictures and poor graffiti.

At present, it seems that people who have received some professional training in art are generally a little stronger than ordinary people, but not so strong.

So, at the moment this can only be explained by a specific talent: the embodied imagination.

The higher the talent, the more detailed and specific the resources generated through the connection of consciousness. On the contrary, it is useless to get the internal test qualification.

But in any case, it is the most cutting-edge technology now, and it can greatly reduce the development cost of the game if it is used well, which is the dream of many game companies.

Professor He Cheng actually gave it to a student, which can no longer be simply described with the word "generosity".

Professor He Cheng was very satisfied with everyone's reaction: "Look at you who have never seen the world, well, this matter will come to an end first, let's continue the class.

"I will contact the top three classmates later and arrange for you to make games.

"I'm here to look for investors, and I'm also here to arrange the game's release and initial publicity. As for you, let's improve your own design. In the next period of time, you and your graduate students will work hard to make the game.

"By the way, Lu Zhixing, you come to the office with me after class, I have something to look for you alone."

...

After class, Lu Zhixing came to the office with Professor He Cheng.

Professor He Cheng pointed to the sofa beside him: "Sit casually and drink tea?"

Lu Zhixing shook his head: "No professor, I don't like drinking tea very much."

"Then what do you like to drink?" Professor He took water from 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 cola 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 qualifications for the internal test. But I also wanted to find you. I revised the design draft of "Ordinary Life" again."

While talking, he took out the USB flash drive and handed it over.

Professor He Cheng was a little surprised: "Another version has been revised? Isn't the final version of the previous version already very perfect?

"If it's someone else, I will definitely ask them to change the design draft a few more times, because for them, no matter how many times they change it, there will still be loopholes.

"But you are different. Your design draft is already perfect, and it is not good to change it frequently.

"Hey, what happened to your hand?"

He reached out to take the USB flash drive, and suddenly found that there were several worn-out wounds on Lu Zhixing's hands, which hadn't fully healed, obviously they were done recently.

When Lu Zhixing went to work two days ago, although he wore cotton gloves, the workload was too heavy after all, so it was inevitable that he had a few cuts. It's okay, but it still looks a little scary.

"Oh, I'm going to work and move bricks on weekends." Lu Zhixing said.

Professor He Cheng frowned: "Moving bricks? What kind of bricks? You mean moving bricks in reality?

"Are you so short of money? If you are short of money, tell me, I have a lot of work to give you a part-time job. You have such a good brain to go to work, it is a waste of money!

"Besides, I think the game "Zen" is selling well. Why are you short of money?"

Lu Zhixing quickly explained: "No, no, professor, you misunderstood, I didn't work for money, I went to collect materials.

"Aren't there some part-time jobs in "Ordinary Life"? I think the previous design was too superficial, so I went to experience it for two days and made some changes."

Professor He Cheng inserted the USB flash drive into the computer, frowned and said, "You are still fooling around.

"It's just a part-time job, just go to the Internet to search for information, is it worth going to experience it for two days?

"I think the original design is pretty good. Different working methods correspond to a small game. This design is enough, and I can't think of any other changes."

Professor He Cheng said so, but still clicked on the design draft to view.

Just watching, his voice became lower and lower, and finally fell silent.

Can it really be changed? Really improved?

This change mainly focuses on the way of playing workers such as takeaway, express delivery, brick moving, electronics factory, and intermediary.

In the original design, these jobs only have different pre-skills, different specific mini-games, and slight differences in remuneration, but in general they are all divided into physical labor, which affects the character's cleanliness, health, and hunger. Similar to the effects of psychological stress.

But in Lu Zhixing's new design, there are obvious differences between these tasks.

The preconditions are different, which means that if players want to do these jobs, they need to upgrade specific attribute points, point out specific skills and talents.

The impact of completing work is different. For example, moving bricks reduces the cleanliness the most and requires more physical strength, while the work of the electronics factory has less impact on cleanliness and hunger, but long hours of overtime work will accumulate a lot of energy pressure.

As for courier delivery and intermediary work, 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, it was nothing more than going through the motions, consuming time and physical strength to make money, and basically there was not much strategy.

But after the modification, these jobs can also be subdivided into differences. For example, players can consider reducing living conditions and sanitation conditions to move bricks and save money as soon as possible, or clean themselves up, master the knowledge of nearby real estate, and then Be an intermediary and fight for a high commission with a low probability.

The strategy of the whole game has undoubtedly reached a new level.

What surprised He Cheng even more was that he didn't even think about these points before, or he didn't realize them.

Subconsciously, he always felt that these jobs were similar.

"I think it's easy."

Professor He Cheng has been in the game industry for so many years, and the basic material life has long been satisfied. As a person with free wealth, he has rarely paid attention to these low-level jobs these years, so how could he distinguish the difference between these types of jobs.

If Lu Zhixing hadn't personally experienced these jobs, it would be impossible to figure out the way to do it just by thinking about it in the dormitory.

This design is definitely not real.

Professor He Cheng couldn't count it himself. How many times did Lu Zhixing surprise him?

During this period of time, Lu Zhixing was busy with the college's welcome party, and went out to move bricks and work. It seemed that he was not doing his job all the time, 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, and the more perfect design draft now, are the proof.

This also made Professor He Cheng more sure that he was right to give Lu Zhixing the test quota.

"Okay, just change it according to this, it is indeed better than before."

Professor He Cheng handed the U disk back.

"Next, let me tell you how to use this internal test qualification."

He opened the locked drawer under the desk and took out something similar to an electronic key.

"Tomorrow I will send you an address, and you go directly there with the secret key.

"There is special equipment over there that will do a test for you. Simply put, it is to see how much your imagination can be converted into material, how efficient and how accurate it is.

"If you can't convert anything after thinking about it for a long time, then it's useless for you to hold the internal test qualification. I will postpone the assignment according to the ranking order of this assignment."

Lu Zhixing was a little surprised: "Huh? Need special equipment? Can't ordinary fifth-generation VR game helmets work?"

Professor He Cheng shook his head: "The fifth-generation VR gaming headset is not good.

"The situation of the Taiqing editor is quite special. Although the virtual space in the fifth-generation VR game helmet is also called 'Taiqing', this internal test uses a completely different technology.

"The Taiqing editor this time is in a completely enclosed special space, called 'deep space', which does not communicate with the virtual space of the fifth-generation VR game helmet, and does not even fully communicate with the Internet.

"Not the same thing at all."

Lu Zhixing was a little surprised: "No intercommunication? No intercommunication with the Internet?"

Professor He Cheng nodded: "Yes, not completely interoperable, except for a few data, most of the content cannot be interoperable.

"You have also used the editor of the fifth-generation VR game helmet. Although it also uses the consciousness connection technology, in fact, its application of technology is very conservative, and it is only the most superficial.

"The built-in editor is more like a 'studio' in a virtual space, using traditional input methods, and has no connection with the deep thinking of the brain.

"But the beta version of Taiqing Editor is different. It is a completely closed system that directly connects with people's deep consciousness. Therefore, external resources cannot be directly imported, and internal resources cannot be directly exported.

"If you want to get the material out of here, there is only one way: manual handling.

"Because some of the things we see in this closed space, such as pictures, are not specific codes, but are generated by real-time computer operations through the combination of consciousness connection technology and our subconscious in our minds. They cannot exist without consciousness, so there is no can be exported directly."

Lu Zhixing was puzzled: "Then I made a game in it, 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.

"That's the least inconvenient thing about this new technology right now, but it's inconsequential given the huge efficiency gains it brings."
