life play game

Chapter 3 Game Name: "Zen"

Lu Zhixing couldn't restrain his urge to complain: "I acted as a tree, and then the material really only gave me a tree!
"What kind of game can I do with just this tree!"

【Players please stay calm, you can also consume points to obtain materials in reality, or directly purchase materials in the game's material library.However, the latter will cost more. 】

Lu Zhixing nodded when he heard the words: "That's right, I don't only have one tree, I still have 200 points.

"I don't know the prices in the material library. If these points can buy a lot of resources, then the misunderstanding will be resolved."

A new interface appeared in Lu Zhixing's field of vision, but nothing was displayed on the interface for the time being, only a search box.

This should be the material library that comes with the life playing game.

Lu Zhixing thought for a while, and randomly entered a keyword: prison.

With a sound of "swish", several different styles of prisons were displayed by category on the interface, including domestic ones, foreign ones, modern ones, ancient ones, and some fantasy styles.

Lu Zhixing casually opened a foreign-style prison, which looked very similar to some prison escape-themed movies or episodes.

Here, you can also customize the scale of the prison, add new functional areas, and even customize prisoners or jailers with different shapes.Conversely, it is also possible to select only a small part of the area.

The larger the size, the more customization, and the more expensive it is.

If you want a whole set of prison templates, if all the configurations are full, the displayed point price is...

80000!

Lu Zhixing was shocked, looking at his poor 200 points, he was at a loss for words.

"It's too expensive! You have to play the big tree 400 times to afford it!"

Although the content of this prison template is very complete, as long as you buy it, you can directly create a prison break puzzle game, but the price makes Lu Zhixing prohibitive.

[Purchasing resources directly in the material library is a faster way, so it is more expensive. 】

[Players can also consider taking materials from reality, and the points consumed will be greatly reduced. 】

Lu Zhixing came to a sudden: "So that's how it is."

Buying materials directly consumes more points than obtaining materials in reality, but it is more convenient and suitable for some scenes where it is difficult to obtain materials in reality.

For example, this prison scene is not very convenient to draw materials from reality, why can’t we go to Tangerine to experience it for ourselves?

At this time, it is much more cost-effective to buy directly with points.

Of course, it may be more cost-effective to find an outsourcing team to produce related materials in reality, provided that you have money.

"Okay, then I'll try the material collection function again.

"If 200 points can draw a lot of things, that's acceptable."

Lu Zhi walked out of the utility room and cast his eyes on the entire second floor of the Internet cafe.

In the next second, an explanation appeared in his vision.

[Material-Internet Cafe: Spend 10000 points to purchase an Internet Cafe template.This template includes most of the materials related to Internet cafes, including the overall structure of Internet cafes, different decoration styles, computers, tables and chairs, shop assistants (including models and various actions), and other related content. 】

Lu Zhixing carefully counted the 1s after 0, and fell silent again.

"Emmmm, it is indeed much cheaper.

"...Damn it!

"This is what you call 'significantly reduced consumption points'? 10000 points, don't you still have to play the big tree 50 times to afford it!"

Looking at his poor 200 points, Lu Zhixing deeply felt what it means to be shy.

"There are only 200 points in total, and you can't buy any large-scale materials. Considering the size of a game, it's not enough at all!
"And this game didn't give me any new role-playing tasks, which means that even if I want to continue to play the big tree to earn points, it's impossible."

There was no money before, but now there are no points and no money.

Uncomfortable!

Lu Zhixing was a little discouraged, but he was not a person who gave up lightly.

"Don't be crushed by difficulties, if there are difficulties, you must overcome them, if there are no difficulties, you must overcome them!

"Oh no, it should be that if there are no conditions, you have to create conditions!

"If you want to make a game with the limited materials at hand, you must use the materials of that tree. According to the price of the mall, the materials of this tree are probably worth at least a few hundred points. The most valuable material.

"Besides, whether it is purchasing or obtaining materials, narrowing the scope can also greatly reduce the points required.

"What kind of game can you make with these limited resources..."

Lu Zhixing fell into deep thought.

In fact, the life-playing game is not Lu Zhixing's only golden finger, he also has an invisible golden finger, which is his previous life experience.

In his previous life, he was a function planner of a game company. Although he was essentially a brick-and-mortar engineer, his experience in the game company over the past few years has allowed him to understand games beyond most people.

What's more, he is a traveler and has seen many excellent works of art in that world. This kind of vision and perspective can form a dimensionality reduction blow to the designers of this world.

"Have it!"

Lu Zhixing had a flash of inspiration and had an idea.

He thought of several very famous games in his previous life, known as the "Four Great Masterpieces of Steam", each of which can be called a heavyweight when taken out individually.

And some of the games can happen to be made with the materials in his hands!
Of course, there are certain accidental factors in the popularity of these games. If you want to make their success inevitable in this parallel world, you have to make some small adaptations.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhixing immediately started the preparations before making the game.

First, find the prison template you have seen before in the mall, and then limit the scope to a very simple cell.

Originally, the price of the entire prison template was 70 points, but it was limited to a single cell. Since there were almost no other materials in it except for the bare walls and floors, it only cost [-] points.

Then, Lu Zhixing went out again, left the Internet cafe, took a bus to the old town, and found a stone bridge.

It took 110 points to take materials from this stone bridge and some scenery around the stone bridge, such as the flowing water under the bridge, the surrounding scenery, etc.

With 20 points left, Lu Zhixing went shopping in the mall again and found that some basic functions were very cheap, so he bought a simple audio game function: the player can play different notes by pressing the buttons.

It is normal for this kind of function to be sold cheaply. After all, in reality, anyone with a little bit of programming ability can make it in the editor without any pressure.

……

After collecting materials, Lu Zhixing returned to the Internet cafe, put on the VR game helmet again, and entered the editor.

After a brief search in the material library that comes with the editor, I didn't see the materials I bought before.

Judging from the current situation, they seem to only exist in Lu Zhixing's mind.

"Could it be that……"

Lu Zhixing naturally had a bold idea. He opened the image drawing and model making tools that come with the editor, trying to reawaken the extremely clear materials in his mind.

In the next second, something magical happened.

He actually started making models at breakneck speed!

At this time, Lu Zhixing seemed to be entrusted, transformed into a humanoid printer, and transferred those materials to the editor in an unimaginable way!
Every detail is spot on and extremely efficient.

Of course, because the material itself is very fine, such as the tree, which has very complex texture details, the difficulty of drawing is similar to that of hand-painting a hyper-realistic painting in reality.

In this state of "humanoid printer", Lu Zhixing still needs several hours to transport all these models and textures.

But this is already a very exaggerated speed.

If the same material is handed over to a professional art team, it will still take several days to complete the production under the condition of a good division of labor.

When Lu Zhixing moved all the prepared materials to the editor, he checked the time, more than six hours had passed.

It's already late at night.

"It turns out that the 'Life Playing Game' will print all these materials in my mind, and at the same time give me the ability to make them. That is to say, the materials I get in reality can take a certain amount of time to carry In the editor, make a game and publish it to the virtual world.

"I just don't know if there will be a more labor-saving and faster handling method in the future, it's really tiring..."

After six hours of continuous high-intensity work, Lu Zhixing felt dizzy and indescribably exhausted.

He originally wanted to rest here and start game production after waking up tomorrow, but after thinking about it, he decided to finish it in one go.

Because the game he wants to make this time is not complicated in itself, it should take an hour or two to complete.Moreover, the earlier the game is completed, the earlier it can be submitted for review, and the earlier it can be put on the shelves to make money.

Lu Zhixing began to organize, classify, splice these materials, and stitch them into a game abruptly.

If there were other people watching at this time, shock would be written all over their faces.

What is this doing?
These game materials of Lu Zhixing can't be said to be irrelevant, it can only be said to be irrelevant.

A single cell in a cell, a field, a tree, a stone bridge...

No matter how you look at it, it is impossible to beat it!
But there is no way, Lu Zhixing only has so many resources on hand now.

In fact, he originally wanted to use that field to make a hunting simulator or a fishing simulator, but after a brief study, he found that he couldn't afford a gun template, and he couldn't make a complex game of hunting or fishing, so this Ideas just die.

As for the game that Lu Zhixing wants to make now...

There may be so many tricks, but it is already the best use of these materials.

Moreover, it has a chance of becoming popular, although this chance is not great.

Before I knew it, another hour passed.

"You're done!"

Lu Zhixing finally breathed a sigh of relief. He checked it one last time to make sure that the game had fully realized his original idea.

He then saved the project file and generated two different versions, the normal version and the VR version.

Anyway, it doesn't take much effort, one more version will increase the possibility of success.

If the game becomes popular, Lu Zhixing doesn't mind releasing the mobile and console versions later.

Finally, you need to give the game a name.

Lu Zhixing thought for a while, and filled in the name and profile that he had already thought of, which seemed a bit mysterious.

Game name: Zen.

Game introduction: All promising methods are like dreams and bubbles, like dew or electricity, and should be viewed in this way.

Game price: 5 yuan for the PC version, 10 yuan for the VR version.

After checking it one last time and making sure there were no problems, Lu Zhixing submitted it for review.

Then he exited the virtual world, took off the game helmet, and after a simple wash, lay down on the camp bed and fell into a deep sleep.

……

……

At noon the next day, Lu Zhixing woke up in the storage room on the second floor of the internet cafe.

Last night, I played the game in one go, which consumed a lot of brain cells, so that Lu Zhixing is still a little confused now.

Hungry, Lu Zhixing went to the bathroom of the Internet cafe to wash his face briefly, went to the front desk to buy a bucket of instant noodles and added a piece of roast sausage, then found a computer in the corner, and searched for key words in the game mall. Word: "Zen".

Soon, the game he made yesterday appeared in the search results.

"The review speed in this world is quite fast."

If it can be found, it means that it has been reviewed.

It's just that so far, it's still in a state of complete neglect.No clicks, no sales, and no reviews.

Proper three-no product.

"...It's too unreliable to count on natural exposure."

This is also within Lu Zhixing's expectations. It is not easy for such a simple or even cheating game to pass the review. It is almost impossible to obtain official recommended resources.

Without the initial exposure, there is naturally no possibility of any explosion in the follow-up.

"Waiting like this, I don't know if we have to wait until the year of the monkey, or maybe until the Internet cafe closes down, there may not be the first player.

"Have to think of a way!"
