Chapter 268 Modification and Fairness

Zhong Chang took Lin You and asked in detail what to pay attention to when choosing a partner, what are the specific requirements, what kind of cooperation conditions are expected, etc.

So that when contacting these companies, you can quickly grasp the key points.

It's just that Lin You's request is completely different from what he thought: the company's strength does require it, but it just needs to be enough.

The real key is the company's values, which must have a vision for deep development in the gaming field. Companies that simply regard games as a money-making tool must not cooperate.

Zhong Chang was a little puzzled: Aren't you just looking for someone to help sell the machine?

The core things are still in our own hands, and they can’t control us anyway. Does it really matter what their values ​​are like?

But he was a subordinate, and since his boss had clearly requested it, he had no choice but to do it without compromise.

Back in the department, Zhong Chang thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

——It can’t be that the boss has a mysophobia and is unhappy when he sees a company making money from games, right?

In the end, he could only comfort himself: his boss Lin You is a genius recognized by the world. He is the person who made the company the leader in the industry in less than three months. It is normal that he cannot understand his strategic thinking for a while.

Bar……

He put aside his confusion and went to find Qiao Nanyu, urging him to recruit more people as soon as possible.

There is no way, as soon as the new office location is confirmed, all departments are shouting that they are lacking people, lacking people, lacking people!

As the boss of the department, he felt that he had to personally urge it.

As long as you act anxious enough, your department will always be taken care of to some extent.

Of course, there is also Shen Ping...

Zhong Chang quickly kept himself busy, almost without touching the ground.

Lin You went back to find Xiao Meng, and together they started making a new and revised playground.

The rules of the game are not complicated, and Xiaodeng can play it very quickly.

Completing "Journey" in just two or three days has fully proved Xiao Meng's ability.

Now Xiaomeng has more than 6 billion "Dongting" supercomputers, and the free computing power of tens of millions of players as support. Compared with the original, Xiaomeng's strength is completely different.

At the beginning, some workers in the industry complained, saying that Lin You did not invent the virtual reality host, but the "wishing machine".

In fact, Xiaomeng is now going all out to make games, and compared with the real "wishing machine", the effect is not far behind!

As per the old rules, the first step is to "deduct" the amusement park in Metropolis and turn it into an independent map, which will serve as the main framework of the new game.

Then make a candy-themed door as the entrance to the arena copy.

Next, it’s “cheating time”: Xiaomeng reads his memories of “Boys and Girls Go Forward” and “Jelly Bean Man”, and then reproduces all the maps and tracks.

After the reproduction is completed, Lin You will delete and modify it as needed.

There are still a lot of things that need to be modified.

First of all, the most obvious point: the track of "Boys and Girls Rush Forward" is built on a pool. If you make a mistake, you will only fall into the water.

Not only is it okay, but it will also feel cooler in the summer.

But there are many maps in "Jelly Bean Man" that are built on syrup. If you make a mistake, you will fall into the syrup pool.

Players will not have any special feeling when controlling the cute little man to fall into the syrup, and may even feel a little cute.

But if it is the player himself who falls into the colorful, sweet and sticky syrup, that is another matter...

It will probably drive players with mysophobia crazy!

Therefore, the syrup pool must be removed directly and replaced entirely with water.

Then there are the rules of gravity.

If the gravity rules of the real world were used, then if you wanted to use rotating sponge pillars to knock players off the track, you might not have to hit them until they vomit.

The mechanism rotates like a propeller. Who can see it and who is not afraid?

Moreover, the falling speed is too fast, which is not friendly to patients with heart disease and high blood pressure.

So we still have to change the rules of gravity.

We will first weaken it by 20 to 30%, and then make detailed adjustments later when we test it with employees.

Another important factor that once led to the loss of popularity of "Jelly Bean Man" is that the number of tracks is limited and the gameplay is highly repetitive. After playing for a long time, player loss is inevitable.

Although Lin You doesn't care about the loss of players, and even the loss of new games that happen to play Yunmeng, it is not a big problem.

But for the sake of game playability, the function of customizing tracks must be added.

This isn't too complicated. It's almost enough to emasculate and emasculate the game development tools used by employees, and then improve the ease of use and operation guidance.

The real problem is the fairness of the game.

Although Lin You's original intention was just to create an environment where everyone can have fun together as a supplement to the playground.

But once a game gets involved with elements such as competition and PVP, fairness will always be an issue that must be considered.

If the issue of fairness is completely ignored and all players are thrown into the track, there will definitely be players who are shameless and stand in front of the finish line, stop one player from another, or even directly push the player off the track.

Putting aside the difference in strength between male and female players, even if it is forcibly smoothed out in the game, what about fighting skills?

By extension, if a player who has practiced in a boxing gym insists on knocking down an ordinary player, even if the absolute strength of both parties is the same, it will be difficult for the ordinary player to resist.

But this is an amusement park. Everyone is here to play games, not to fight in the UFC!

What’s more, what should adults do if they want to bully children?

Even if you don't bully, you can't expect to win with your short legs.

Even if adults and children are separated, if a 10-year-old child meets a 6-year-old child, it will be a crushing advantage...

You can't let the younger ones win unconditionally, right?

We are all standing on the same track. We are all here to play games. Why should I let you?

By the way, can a 6-year-old play this kind of obstacle course?

Thinking of this, Lin You shook his head vigorously.

——In any case, track classification is imperative.

But how to classify is also a problem.

Divide the track by age? Plus the gender track? Professional and amateur tracks?

"Xiaomeng, what do you think?" Lin You looked at Xiaomeng.

"Xiaomeng has seen sports competitions in the underage group!" Xiaomeng is very happy to participate. "Xiaomeng thinks that for players under 16 years old, we can refer to the grouping methods of real sports competitions."

"And sports competitions all have a minimum age to participate!"

Lin You nodded, fully affirming Xiao Meng's opinion: "Then let's follow what Xiao Meng said and set the minimum age at 10 years old. Children under 10 years old should go to younger entertainment.

The facilities are more suitable.”

"For players over 16 years old, there are many classification methods for sports competitions! Master, would you like Xiaomeng to list them for you?"

"There's no need for this." Lin You shook his head.

Children are assigned opponents based on age because their bodies are so different that they may not be able to adapt to forced unification.

Once your body is basically grown, you won't have this worry anymore.

He has made up his mind to give all players over the age of 16 the same physical fitness.

Moreover, this quality will be much better than the common sub-health state, ensuring that players will be provided with a better gaming experience.

As for the gap in fighting ability caused by gender and experience...

Maybe introduce a hidden ladder matching mechanism?

There was another question that made him very hesitant: allowing players to enter the track in casual clothes like in "Boys and Girls Go Forward"?

Or is it like "Jelly Beans", putting on a bulging doll leather case and entering the track?
