Chapter 312 Who said squares mean simplicity?

Lin You hung out in Xia Yi's live broadcast room and watched the excitement for a while.

But when Xia Yi started chatting with the water friends, he felt sleepy and fell asleep again.

I also missed the scene where Xia Yi became more and more distracted as we chatted and expressed her sincere gratitude to Lin You.

——Of course, it doesn’t matter if he missed it. Xiaomeng didn’t miss it, he recorded it all.

Xiao Meng never misses any scene that can embarrass Lin You.

When Lin You woke up completely, stretched out and climbed out of bed, washed up and started eating, Xiao Meng looked cheerful and showed him the current hot search list.

So Lin You saw that a very dramatic entry appeared on the hot search list - "No Mirage 2.0".

It contrasts with yesterday morning's "Mirage 2.0 will be launched soon".

Just one day apart, two completely opposite hot searches.

Lin You, like Xiao Meng, fell down laughing.

After eating and drinking, he asked in the company group if there was anything he needed to do.

After making sure that nothing happened, he privately asked Qin Songyun to come home after get off work, then skipped work again and went directly to the underground prevention and control laboratory to start making a game warehouse.

Qin Songyun put down his phone in confusion.

But if the boss orders me, I have no choice but to go.

After washing the dishes and tidying up the house, Qin Songyun took advantage of the fact that the weather was not too hot and took Xiao Chun for a walk.

When he came back, he handed Xiaochun a glass of water and watched her drink some. Then he took out a towel and wiped the thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

Then he put on the headband and logged into the virtual office with Xiao Chun.

Recently, Xiaochun's desire to work overtime has increased, and he has to guard against it.

As soon as it's time to get off work, I run to Xiaochun and urge her to get off work, so as not to disrupt the fixed rhythm of life.

This also led to his work efficiency improving again.

Today was no exception. As soon as Qin Songyun logged in, he started working in full swing.

The "Assassin's League" event announcement and participation details will be released today.

At the same time, Xiaochun also came to his team and began to lead the production of a new game "Block World".

——This is just a temporary name, the final name of the new game. They are still in intense discussion, and there is no progress yet.

And in order to prevent the code name from becoming more and more smooth as it is called, and eventually becoming accustomed to it and naturally becoming the final name, I also deliberately chose "Block World", which everyone despises.

As for why everyone dislikes it?

Of course, it's because from the beginning of production, they have been working hard to make this world made of blocks look less "square".

Naturally, I wasn't very confident at first.

Especially when they saw Lin You operating and re-stacking ancient buildings with cubes, they couldn't help but worry about the obviously "rough" appearance.

But Lin You told them quite confidently:

"Building blocks don't mean they have to be simple."

Any player who knows enough about "Minecraft" knows very well:

As long as you have a powerful enough graphics card and don't mind smelling the aroma of the graphics card, then you must have heard of one thing -

Texture pack!

As we all know, there are all types of players in the game "Minecraft".

There is such a group of people who are keen to continuously upgrade the picture quality of this pixel game!

And this kind of upgrade has no intention of stopping at all:

From the original "16X", which is a square of 16*16*16 pixels, it has been upgraded to "32X", "64X", "128X"... "1024X", "2048X"...

Even - "4096X" top pixel texture pack!

At this time, the texture pack, coupled with carefully adjusted lighting effects, is almost indistinguishable from the appearance and texture of objects in the real world!

This type of material display videos often refresh players' perspectives and achieve extremely high views.

Of course, the price is also high.

Every upgrade of pixel materials represents a leap in machine performance requirements. Later, it will be a leap in geometric progression.

This may also be their biggest limiting factor in upgrading image quality.

If you see a barrage like "it's on fire" in this type of video, it's probably not just expressing admiration for technology, but also describing the status of your own graphics card...

And with the help of the fuzzy computing technology of the virtual world, they can directly upgrade the materials to the extreme!

With real buildings like a metropolis, various tasks, and a highly item-rich environment, the game can be run without any pressure within a huge range of one kilometer in diameter around the player.

It can be seen that Mirage is strong in technology and performance!

...well, mostly technology.

Good technology means you can do whatever you want.

As long as the team led by Xiaochun can optimize the texture of each block material to make them look beautiful and harmonious.

And when these blocks are combined together, the appearance should not be too inconsistent.

In this way, when optimizing the edges of the blocks and the junctions of the blocks, the work will be much easier.

If all the steps are correct, then when the final game product appears, it will definitely be able to create an extremely realistic and beautiful creation!

It is even possible to build a metropolis that is 80% or 90% similar by hand.

Of course, there may be many materials, and a variety of different appearance textures need to be designed, so that some "thematic" changes can be made according to the content built by the player.

For example, the same granite used to build an "original cabin" and a "modern home" should obviously show different texture details.

But this is not a problem for Xiaochun’s team.

The earliest employees in this development team were all artists, and they were good at beautification and design. They were all very motivated at this time.

In addition to these, the design of other systems and gameplay, with Lin You's relatively clear planning and explanation, was not difficult to implement and progressed smoothly.

The real challenge is to design different gameplay modules after completing the game itself.

At that time, combat, exploration, level-breaking, BOSS, and game mechanics will make them feel full of unknowns and challenges.

In this way, time passes slowly in the busy work.

At six o'clock in the evening, Qin Songyun brought Xiao Chun to Lin You's residence with a little confusion.

Lin You picked up the people without going upstairs. He took them directly down to the air defense laboratory and showed them the game cabin.

In order to avoid looking like a coffin and causing unnecessary misunderstandings, Lin You also specially made a pure white shell.

Listening to Lin You's detailed account, Qin Songyun gradually understood the function of this equipment, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

After Lin Yaoyuan found out that the equipment had gone through a complete acceptance process and the results were fully in line with expectations, Qin Songyun immediately made a request: "Can I try it?"

"Uh." Lin You was a little different, but he quickly understood his concern for Xiao Chun and nodded in agreement.

"But let me explain in advance that you probably won't feel very strong. This is a technique to maintain muscle condition, not to strengthen it."

Qin Songyun didn't care at all, and took off his shoes decisively. With Xiaochun's worried expression, he lay down in it, planning to have a short 15-minute experience.

"Start." Lin You said.

At the end of the game warehouse, a screen lit up, and a series of data such as Qin Songyun's Yunmeng account, identity ID, and physical status monitoring began to appear.

Lin You and Xiao Chun both came closer to look at the data above.

Xiaochun stared at it very intently.

Lin You just took a look at it, and after making sure there was no problem, he ran to the side and moved a chair for Xiao Chun.

Seeing Xiao Chun sitting down and still staring at Qin Songyun in the game room with a nervous look on his face, Lin You was also happy to have some leisure time and took out his cell phone to chat with Xiao Meng.

Otherwise, besides work, he would not be able to find any other topic to talk to Xiaochun.

But talking about work during off-duty hours is obviously not something Lin You likes.

It’s still fun to chat with Xiao Meng!

It's just that the things Xiao Meng brought to relieve his boredom this time were a bit beyond his expectation——

"The animal habits in "Paradise" are seriously inconsistent with reality and can easily mislead minors, causing children to be accidentally bitten. We call on relevant departments to intervene as soon as possible!

He also advised Yunmeng to correct his mistakes as soon as possible and log out of the game to avoid serious consequences."
