Chapter 281 A willful development plan!

After noticing the coincidence of this map, Lin You, who was walking in the direction he was most satisfied with, immediately intervened.

Not only has a special subsidy been set up to provide qualified additional rewards to those who participate in the "Ancient City Major Infrastructure" project, it will encourage more people to participate.

We also provided strong technical assistance, designed a "city building system" with richer functions and easier use, and personally took the time to teach them how to use it.

With this two-pronged approach, the originally slow progress of the project began to accelerate suddenly.

What was originally a simple project of "moving the ancient buildings recorded during previous visits into the virtual world" has been officially transformed into a "major infrastructure construction of the ancient city" project.

As a result, ancient buildings were recreated in the virtual world and placed in as beautiful and reasonable locations as possible.

The map can be said to be like a bun a day.

By now, when Lin You came in with the female employees from the casual game department, the map had turned upside down!

The sight of ancient buildings scattered scattered and without any sense of beauty is long gone.

What appears before everyone's eyes is a part of a genuine ancient city...

It is really impossible to build an ancient city from scratch in one month, or to find time to do it after busy research during the day...

Moreover, many buildings are not originally from the same dynasty. A layman can just shove them all together without any care, but these experts simply cannot bear it.

Therefore, the ancient buildings here are divided into many different areas according to different dynasties.

This has resulted in that in each area, there are some places that are still vacant, or that are temporarily filled with some standard houses to make them look less inconsistent.

——But this is a problem that can only be seen from a high place or from a distance.

If you are in it, like Lin You and his employees are now, what you can see in front of you is the ancient city scenery that has been carefully laid out and has almost no flaws.

And looking around, there are all kinds of exquisite and gorgeous buildings, or serious and simple buildings. Being in them feels like traveling through time and space.

"Boss..." a female employee asked almost groaning: "You won't secretly make a game and also secretly build an ancient city yourself, right?"

Is that human being?

Fortunately, Lin You immediately denied it this time: "Of course not. This was not done by me. It was an extra surprise from an ancient building project I invested in."

Hearing this, everyone immediately breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's great."

——Great, the boss is still human!

Lin You took them to see this ancient city and explained to them how it came to be here.

After learning that all buildings have real comparisons in reality, they were all amazed, and their eyes admiring these buildings also brought different meanings.

They knew very well that Lin You brought them here for the next game.

It's just that they are still a little unclear about the relationship between these buildings and the game.

Lin You was not in a hurry and took them for a walk. After looking at the whole street, he said: "There are actually many structures used in these buildings, and the more exquisite and spectacular the buildings, the more complicated they are to build."

.Even if it is reproduced in the virtual world, the energy required is not small at all.”

"And the gameplay I want you to create is to simplify this process to the extreme."

Lin You took them to a relatively empty area, where there was only a single stone tower, six stories high.

But it does not have an exquisite octagonal structure like many well-known ancient pagodas.

——This stone tower looks very simple, even a little bare.

But in reality, this tower has actually stood in the wind and rain for more than 700 years, and its value is not small at all!

Lin You pointed at the tower and asked: "Just imagine, if you don't pursue 100% similarity, but only need one shape, how many structures can be used to build this tower?"

"Twelve kinds?"

"If you completely omit the internal structure and just look at the appearance, maybe eight types will do?"

"There must be at least six kinds, right?"

Everyone looked up at the appearance of the tower, thinking and talking about it.

Lin You shook his head: "It's still too much. What do you think?"

"impossible?"

Everyone's first reaction was a bit incredible.

Without wasting any more time, Lin You answered simply: "Do you think this is okay?"

After speaking, he waved his hand, and the stone tower seemed to have suffered some terrible attack. It completely shattered from the inside out in an instant, collapsed backwards, and fell into pieces, shattering into pieces of stone on the ground.

The girls were shocked at first, but soon discovered that the stones on the floor were all small cubes, which looked about the size of a palm.

After a brief moment of confusion, they finally understood: "Building blocks?"

"Yes!" Lin You nodded and waved his hand again. Countless small cubes on the ground flew up on their own and quickly assembled. From the base to the top of the tower, they were built layer by layer in just seven or eight seconds.

An identical stone tower appeared on the same spot.

wrong!

It can't be said exactly the same.

The "accuracy" of this stone tower is significantly lower than the original stone tower.

Although it looks similar at first glance, once you get closer you can see that it is very "rough".

The appearance is not smooth at all, and the edges are also composed of the edges of small squares. Although it is considered regular, it is obviously not beautiful.

"Is this okay??" It's not so much that the answer has been answered, but rather that it feels outrageous.

Of course, they had to admit that using this method did look similar, and it was much simpler. They didn't need too many professional skills to build this stone tower.

——Not just stone towers, if this method is used, not too many buildings can be erected!

It’s even an exaggeration to say that any building can be built!

Xiaochun accepted this setting quickly and asked: "Is this the core gameplay of the new game?"

"Yes." Lin You nodded, but immediately shook his head, "It is one of the core gameplays."

Building blocks is of course the core gameplay of "Minecraft", and it is also an important support for its vitality and longevity.

In comparison, other survival gameplay, adventure gameplay, parkour gameplay, farming gameplay, battle royale gameplay, etc., although there is no shortage of loyal players in each of them, to a certain extent, they can all be said to be "building blocks"

"The branches extending from this strongest trunk.

However, I have to say no here.

If it were just to create a virtual reality replica of a 3D game on PC, it would still be a bit uninteresting in Lin You's opinion.

After all, the core gameplay of "Minecraft" can be fully satisfied on the computer, so why do you have to go to the virtual reality version?

Even the virtual reality version can certainly be more intuitive and immersive, and many peripheral gameplays can greatly improve the experience.

But the core gameplay of building blocks may even be more tiring and inconvenient...

Therefore, more core gameplay must be added!

And [Combat] and [Exploration] are ready-made fun.

It's just that in the original "Minecraft", this part is indeed a bit weak.

Therefore, in the virtual reality version, Lin You has made up his mind: combat and exploration must be strengthened!

When Lin You thought about how to strengthen, he immediately thought of two other games:

One is a game that has been nicknamed the 2D version of "Minecraft" since its birth.

The other one is even more outrageous. It is a "simple" pixel game that allows players to smell the aroma of a graphics card with just a staff.

Lin You's original idea was to extract the most interesting exploration and combat from these three games, and then throw in a [Fusion]!

Perfect!

But within two minutes, he rejected the idea himself.

The reason is simple: "Minecraft" is after all the core of the new game, and it must be aimed at all ages, and can even be used as a puzzle game for children to develop their intelligence.

But whether it’s the killer monsters in Terraria that make people shudder at the sight or the evil underground creatures in “The Witch” that make people’s scalp numb, they are not suitable to be reproduced in virtual reality.

This kind of ghost thing is presented in a pixel style, and players can still accept it.

But using real senses to put yourself in the shoes of such a terrifying monster might scare people crazy!

When the time comes, don’t even think about the all-age classification. I don’t know if I can handle the adult-restricted classification!

I'm afraid we have to come up with a new classification [limited to mental illness].

Lin You doesn't really want to take revenge on society...

So in the end we could only make major changes to the environment, monsters, and BOSS while keeping the core gameplay as unchanged as possible.

This would be a lot of work.

You may even be forced to make multiple major changes during the production process.

But Lin You thought it was worth a try, the worst was the worst, so he gave up these ideas and returned to pure "Minecraft"!

It’s not like I can’t bear the loss.

With Lin You's current net worth, he can do whatever he wants!
