Build a game empire from scratch

After experiencing the promotional video again immersively, the teaching level was finally completed.

In a trance, Xia Yi found herself in a war room.

The room is not too empty: a sofa for resting, a sand table in the corner, a projector for reviewing battle records, empty boxes of unknown meaning, and even a record player for listening to music...

Apparently mixing the lounge with the war room.

Only the wall of honor looks empty.

The level, winning rate, team, mission, etc. that record personal data are all blank.

The medal wall and ribbon cabinet were also empty.

Only the dog tag display cabinet displays the only original brass dog tag.

Xia Yi walked over, touched these places one by one, and found that the system would automatically pop up an interface, allowing her to appreciate what rewards are available to unlock and the conditions that need to be fulfilled.

Looking at the dazzling array of rewards, Xia Yi subconsciously took two steps back, away from this area.

—She suddenly felt a dull pain in her liver.

After quickly moving away from the medal wall and the two display cabinets, he began to observe the doors on the left and right.

There are three doors on the left, which lead to [Campaign], [Multiplayer Game] and [National War] respectively according to the prompt of the system.

There are also three doors on the right hand side, leading to the [Preparation Room], [Vehicle Storage] and [Weapon Storage] respectively.

Xia Yi first went to [Vehicle Storage] and [Weapon Storage] to check, and found that the Vehicle Storage was empty and needed to be unlocked with war bonds.

The arsenal is not much better either, there are only a few initial weapons and some grenades, cold weapons, etc. The only thing that looks a little fierce is a mortar.

Other more weapons can also be unlocked by spending war bonds or completing specific tasks.

This caused Xia Yi to enter the battle preparation room. When configuring weapons for the four different arms, she had no choice but to use the initial weapons.

——She has no money on her now, and she can't afford anything.

In the end, he returned to the war room boringly, and walked towards several doors leading to the game, intending to earn some money first, before upgrading.

As for what to play...

According to Xia Yi's previous habits, she must play the [campaign] all over, and only after in-depth experience of game design will she play multiplayer games.

Because it is easy to think that the gameplay of a multiplayer game is likely to be strange and completely contrary to the design style of the game.

But the problem is-

With only one teaching level, Xia Yi felt a little overwhelmed.

The stamina is really big!

Such a small area on the battlefield can be said to be a small area, but there was an astonishingly intense confrontation.

Destroyed lines of defense, all kinds of dead soldiers, completely destroyed buildings, shelling, bombing, air strikes, exploding tanks and crashed fighter planes...

The environment is too harsh.

And in this kind of environment, I don't have the treatment of a protagonist at all, just like a small fish on the battlefield, who dies at will, and the death conditions are also strange.

Xia Yi didn't know how others felt, but she felt that she had to slowly...

So she trotted to the [multiplayer] door.

The audience in the live broadcast room had no objections, the only dissatisfaction was: Why don't you go to [National War]? It's very exciting to hear the name!

Xia Yi replied speechlessly: I haven't figured out how to play this game yet, why go to the national war? Shame on the foreign country?

Step by step, first become a high-ranking player, and then win glory for the country! So...

Multiplayer game, let's go!

*

Shuihua was watching with enthusiasm, when suddenly a hand was slapped on the shoulder, which scared her into a fright.

Turning his head to look over, his face turned pale——

The math teacher finished her urgent work, and at some point, she had already entered the classroom through the back door, and even walked behind her!

And she was completely immersed in the live broadcast, and didn't hear any footsteps at all... No! I didn't hear the sound of opening the door, and the math teacher never had footsteps!

Splash froze in fright.

Unexpectedly, the always strict math teacher just tapped her on the head this time, signaling her to put it away.

Then he left a neutral sentence, You can't do this next time!, then dismissed the problem lightly, and walked to the podium.

Shuihua was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that after she raised her average score in the math mock test from more than 80 points to 110 points in just two or three months, the teacher seemed to be very tolerant of her.

Not just math teachers, several teachers are like this.

She breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put away her mobile phone and earphones, and began to write the paper seriously.

Fortunately, it's just an ordinary practice paper. This class is just self-study instead of a test, and it doesn't need to be handed in after class.

——After all, there is not much time left until the end of get out of class.

The first class in the afternoon of Splash is coming to an end, which also means that 40 minutes have passed since the test of Battlefield.

Although the players in the game have just completed the teaching level, and the multiplayer game has just started, there is no time to comment on the game.

However, players who are still at work or school and can only learn about the game through the live broadcast for the first time have already started discussing the game online.

The previous worries about the game is not well completed, cutting players' leeks, Yunmeng gave up their ideals, players pay to work and other issues have all dissipated.

Instead, there is a discussion about the content of the game.

After experiencing the Minecraft score being slapped in the face, before the release of Battlefield, various game media were reluctant to give this game a pre-score.

The media on the blacklist also had a precedent of being sued by the legal department of Yunmeng for maliciously slandering and damaging the company's reputation because of the pre-score maliciously scoring low scores, and they have long since ceased to participate in Yunmeng games pre-score.

And now 40 minutes after the game was released, the appearance of the game was basically presented to everyone, and a large number of media began to scramble to rate the game again, as if they were afraid of falling behind.

——There are only media like Game Base who like to write long stories and have dry product evaluations. They are not in a hurry to post ratings, but are still experiencing in the game. After wanting to have a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the game, Then evaluate.

And the scores that have been sent out so far are not lower than 8 points.

Amazing, Breakthrough, Innovative, Unbelievable... All kinds of compliments come pouring in like money.

And the most prominent and frequent word is: [true].

Regardless of the game media or the cloud players watching the battle, it is generally believed that Yunmeng's restoration of the real battlefield has reached an unprecedented height.

Throughout the entire history of games, there is no game that can do this.

This is not only because the virtual reality completely crushes the immersive experience of previous generations, but also because of the meticulous depiction of details and the ultimate implementation of the core concept in game design.

Many media have boldly asserted: as long as the following content can maintain this quality, then the game of the year will definitely be this Battlefield!

In fact, after entering November, there have been some discussions about the selection of this year's game of the year.

Everyone also reached a general consensus: this year's annual game must belong to Yunmeng!

There is no second possibility!

There is even no possibility that the award will lose its authority and credibility if it is not awarded to Yunmeng.

Because Daxia's annual game awards selection was not originally organized by the media or TV stations, but a non-governmental organization composed of players.

After years of development, it was gradually formalized, with more media joining, serious TV broadcasts, and a complete party process and so on.

But even so, it has only expanded from a simple player selection to player × media × developer joint selection.

So far, this system has been working well, and the award-winning games have always been widely recognized games.

This year, there is no suspense that Yunmeng will become the biggest winner.

The only suspense is: Which game of Yunmeng will be the final winner?

But now, many media are beginning to believe that the last Battlefield will probably become the final winner!

It's a pity that the members of the Battlefield development team don't have time to watch these rainbow farts now.

Everyone is concentrating on watching the player's game data and player feedback in the background. All problems are quickly summarized, and a quick decision is made on whether there is really a problem and whether to modify it.

Once it is determined that a modification is needed, someone will be arranged to start emergency adjustments immediately.

Lin You in the front row is already busy. The content he is modifying is the beginning of the teaching level.

The content of the modification is not complicated: at the beginning of the game, give players more reaction time when entering the battlefield.

Surprise attack is indeed a good way to quickly pull players into the battlefield and increase the sense of immersion, but even with the coordination of neural modems, some players still feel uncomfortable.

There were not many people, and only 5 players entered the [Spring Field], which was used to soothe the nerves.

What's interesting is: because of the existence of the dynamic grading system, 5 people came here, all adults in their twenties.

Underage players can't see the details with strong impact at all, but they are playing happily one by one.

According to Lin You's experience, since there are 5 people in [Spring Field], there must be tens of times more players who feel quite uncomfortable, and at least hundreds of times more players who feel slightly uncomfortable .

So Lin You didn't hesitate for a moment, and started to adjust directly.

The range is not large, that is, to adjust the distance of some details, let the neural modem output hints, correctly guide the player's attention, and understand the cruel environment of the battlefield, there is a linear upgrade process from shallow to deep.

This has negligible impact on the expressiveness of the game, but it can further reduce player discomfort.

The price is: it requires a lot of work.

——Anything that involves neural signaling is quite a lot of work.

Lin You worked without distraction, because he knew very well: as a large number of players enter the multiplayer game and start a formal online confrontation, the content that needs to be modified is likely to usher in an exponential increase!

And that moment may come earlier than Lin You expected——

After going through the teaching level, a large number of players, like Xia Yi, temporarily put down the campaign mode and decided to go to the multiplayer mode to refresh and relax.

After Xia Yi entered the door of [Multiplayer Game], she looked at the three options of [Quick Join], [Map Selection] and [Custom Game] that popped up again. After thinking for a while, she walked to the map selection.

After fighting in the cloudy battlefield for so long, she desperately needed some sunshine.

And the first thing that catches your eyes is - [Sinai Desert].

There is another interesting thing here: in Lin You's initial prediction, after Qin Songyun and Fan Rui screened out the wars in this world, what they submitted to him must be brand new wars that he had never heard of.

After all, there is no clear concept of World War I and World War II in this world.

But in fact, when Lin You saw the alternatives for the first time, he was shocked to find that:

The well-known historical battles submitted by the two, although the two sides, the reasons for the war, the results of the war and other factors are different, but the location of the war is very familiar to many!

After careful study, he later realized that there are many factors that determine the outbreak of war, but resources and location are two key factors in themselves.

And these two factors have already been determined even when humans were primitive.

Why is the Middle East always missed?

Because there's oil under the ass.

Why is the Suez Canal a battleground for military strategists?

Because it is located at the junction of three continents, Asia, Europe and Africa, it is the busiest waterway in the world, and it is a key point on the sea.

Who doesn't covet?

With the resources and terrain being exactly the same, it is only natural that there is a huge overlap in the locations where the wars took place in the two worlds.

This also caused a direct result: Many of these positions that Lin You was very familiar with were successfully selected and reintroduced into the game.

It's just that in the single-player campaign, many of the parties involved in the war, historical stories, and the direction of the war have changed.

...

After Xia Yi locks the map, choose the latter from [Self-selected Server] and [Random Match] to officially start the game.

Without the slightest waiting process, she was pulled into the game in an instant.

As for the types of troops, Xia Yi chose conservative medical soldiers out of insurance, and then carried her initial weapons into the battlefield.

*

Ah Yi doesn't think about medical soldiers at all——

Who is a serious person playing with a nanny?

Can breathe and return blood, what nurse do you want? Isn't that a waste of firepower?

Real men have to play with big guns!

Since the support soldiers have machine guns, of course we must play support soldiers! Let's have a mortar! Hurry up!

What else? Ammunition box? It's ok! Shoot the cannon yourself, perpetual motion machine, perfect!

Come on!

...

On Yelang's side, he was also hesitating in the deployment interface, not deciding what to play.

The main point of hesitation is: he wants to play sniper, but the scout's weapon looks too stretched.

He didn't want to admit that the bolt-action rifle was a sniper rifle at all...

It's too behind the times!

I haven't experienced the long list of parameters yet, let's not mention the effect, just look at the [Damage Attenuation Distance] below. The best attack distance of this gun is only more than 100 meters? This is also worthy of being called a sniper rifle?

Can this thing really be used for sniping? Yelang was very skeptical.

Finally, under the persuasion of a bunch of viewers in the live broadcast room, he reluctantly took the original [SMLE MKIII] rifle and joined the battle.

It is good to satisfy the audience's desire to see how snipers fought a hundred years ago.

When it comes to the [SMLE MKIII] gun, Lin You actually hesitated whether to translate it and call it [Lee Enfield Magazine Type Short Rifle Mark III], or just call it the English abbreviation.

In the end, he held a public vote in the development team, and used the abbreviation according to the result of the vote.

One employee's reason is very strong - Even in Daxia, the abbreviation is more familiar than the full name.

So this gun is still called [SMLE MKIII], without literal translation.

——Of course, in the detailed information, there are translated names to help players understand.

For the same reason, the initial weapon of the medical soldier also remains [Cei-Rigotti semi-automatic rifle], but has not been translated into [Cei-Rigotti semi-automatic rifle].

Chong Chong! Yelang got ready and swooped into the battlefield!

The moment he landed, he saw the dazzling sunlight on the desert, the billowing yellow sand and——

A total of 53 support soldiers with mortars in their hands!

Going crazy with so many details.

So there's only one chapter for today, sorry.

After a long absence, I will bring everyone back to the time when I wrote 4,000 words a day in April. It can also be regarded as a relive of old dreams...
