i just want to play games

Chapter 125 Zhou Linfei's Suggestion
As the helm of the company, although in many cases, he would choose to respect Fang Xueshu's ideas and not interfere with his affairs.

However, the game [Perfect Life] is also an obsession in his heart.

He is a hero who came out of that reckless era.

Maybe it's time to smooth out his edges and corners.

Maybe it was money that corroded his arrogance.

However, he still has his own vigor and courage after all.

"Although I really want to refuse, I have to admit that I am a little interested." After hearing Zhao Feiyu's promise, Zhou Linfei adjusted his sitting posture a little to make himself more comfortable, "Although this game project looks very good. But you should know better than me, how powerful this AI system is."

Fang Xueshu and Zhao Feiyu looked at each other.

Zhou Linfei's words undoubtedly admitted that he has a powerful AI system.

Before they were just guesses, now they are sure.

Fang Xueshu was still wondering whether Zhou Linfei used some algorithm that he didn't know to make the NPC appear to be more intelligent.

After all, there are many geniuses in this world, and Fang Xueshu never arrogantly thinks that only he is a genius.

"We have shown enough sincerity. But from you, we have not felt the slightest respect." Fang Xueshu glanced at Zhao Feiyu, and he knew that he needed to say something himself, "You are very interested in saying it again and again. , but there is no intention of letting go. So I want to know, what exactly do you want? Negotiations, we can’t always offer conditions, but you don’t give us any feedback, right?”

Feiyu Games will not blindly choose to give in.

Of course Zhou Linfei knew this very well.

He was silent for a moment, thinking about how to participate in this plan in his mind.

Just as Fang Xueshu guessed, the plan of [Perfect Life] is indeed very interesting.And he really couldn't refuse the plan.

"Although I don't know all the designs and plans, I have a little idea to talk about."

[Famine] has proved that sandbox games can live well in this world.

"Tell me." Fang Xueshu was obviously interested in Zhou Linfei's thoughts.

In the impression of everyone, Zhou Linfei is a genius.

Therefore, his thoughts on this plan can have a certain influence on the other party's study.

"I think it's unrealistic to make the entire planned game in one go." Zhou Linfei took the copy that Zhu Jingping and others had read, and put it back on the coffee table, "So I was thinking, can we do it first? A part of the game comes out, and we will add it later?"

"Like a DLC? Or is it a version update?" These are two different payment models, and Fang Xueshu has to make a trade-off, "You know. What we want is one account per person, and multiple registrations are not allowed. You have read the plan , it should be clear that this is important for the entire game."

Each player can only have one character.

This is the core part of the entire game plan.

Increase the player's sense of substitution and maintain the currency value in the game.

Stabilizing prices is one of the keys to a game's survival.

"The game has a high degree of freedom and stable prices, so there will inevitably be a large number of merchants. This is human nature." Fang Xueshu continued, "If they are allowed to open small accounts and spend money, it will definitely affect other players and cause the entire game atmosphere There's a change. It's something none of us want to see."

"There is no conflict with my idea." Zhou Linfei interrupted Fang Xueshu's words, "Online games, there is no way to eliminate the existence of merchants. Since we want to create a game with the highest degree of freedom, the official cannot interfere with the game process casually. My thoughts Yes, make some content first, let the market give feedback, and then update it according to the needs of the market.”

"In this way, the development pressure and time can be reduced, and errors can be found and corrected in time. After all, this game is really too big." [Three Kingdoms] is currently the largest stand-alone game on the market.

As for this [Perfect Life] project, Zhou Linfei could imagine what a huge project it was just by looking at the proposal.

You know, this was a plan ten years ago.

Who knows how many ideas Fang Xueshu wants to add after so many years?

"Make a part first? Then optimize and update?" It's not like Fang Xueshu didn't think of this kind of thing before. In fact, many projects of Feiyu Games are polished out of the scraps of [Perfect Life].

Naturally, Fang Xueshu would not tell Zhou Linfei about this, "Then what part do you think we should give priority to?"

Fang Xueshu did not continue to ask Zhou Linfei whether he would cooperate. The conversation had progressed so far, and it was a matter of course for Zhou Linfei's team to join this plan.

Fang Xueshu is very confident in his own judgment.

"Let's create a world that simulates towns first." Zhou Linfei felt that he could use the development experience of Sims in his previous life to make the route of a perfect life first. "So, let's make this part first. As for other professions, we can Add slowly."

Police and criminals are naturally opposites.

Zhou Linfei's thoughts had already clearly divided the points of conflict.

However, this is not enough.

"The follow-up upgrade route can be divided into dark forces and light forces. The background of the story must not be placed in the Dragon Kingdom, because the criminal forces obviously cannot develop here." Fang Xueshu considered it more comprehensively. After all, he is very familiar with this game. , knowing more than Zhou Linfei, "The police line can be upgraded all the way to the supreme commander of the national police system, so that we can develop a politician line."

"With politicians, there must be businessmen." Zhou Linfei continued, "So, the hidden route of businessmen can be laid out in the early stage of game release. This is done as a hidden line just like politicians. On the bright side, it is still the police and criminal."

"What about your occupation?" Fang Xueshu felt that meeting Zhou Linfei was one of the most correct decisions he had made in his life. Driven by Zhou Linfei, his brain was running fast, "We can't just be simple policemen and thieves Bar?"

Occupation, skills, level, these are the essential elements of online games.

Even if Zhou Linfei wanted to change this operating model, it would be too difficult for this world.

He has to consider whether the player can accept such a setting.

Also consider game balance, design, and continuity.

Therefore, he was unable to give a good answer to Fang Xueshu's question for a while.

"Occupations can be divided into thieves and hooligans. Let's discuss the follow-up upgrade route later." Zhu Jingping frowned and gave a little suggestion, "These two occupations give different skills respectively. For example, a thief can give stealth skills. Skills, and rogues give certain offensive skills. One is easy to escape from hunting, and the other is easy to attack enemy players."

One reckless, one wretched.

Such a setting is obviously reasonable.

"Correspondingly, in the police system, you can set up two professions: patrol and plainclothes." Fang Xueshu glanced at Zhu Jingping, and followed his train of thought and gave two new professions, "Plainclothes is for thieves, while patrol is for thieves." It is aimed at hooligans. Policemen of the same level must be stronger than criminals."

"Then, it will inevitably lead to an imbalance of power between the two sides." The police are stronger than criminals, this is the simplest logic.

Of course Zhu Jingping is aware of this, but this will lead to an imbalance of power between the two sides.

"So, we can only randomly assign players' occupations. Including those hidden occupations." Fang Xueshu gave his own answer, "Absolutely random, this is the only thing we can do."

"Will it be unfair?" Zhang Jiayao also raised her doubts, "After all, this game is aimed at players from all over the world. Once players feel unfair, the pressure from public opinion will be great."

Fang Xueshu was taken aback when he heard Zhang Jiayao's words.

These young people in front of me seem to be much better than I imagined, "Injustice is inevitable. We will release different tasks to let players plan their own lives. They have no way to choose their own origin, But you can choose your own future."

"During the Novice Village period, I suggested making a stand-alone game." Zhou Linfei suddenly proposed a new idea, "We can't allow most players to passively choose professions. We need to let them make their own choices. Since there is no way to choose birth, then we can give them the opportunity to choose their future.”

Zhou Linfei's words made Fang Xueshu open up a new way of thinking.

Add the gameplay of stand-alone games to online games?This is an idea and method that has never been seen before.

"Will it make the early stage too boring?" Fang Xueshu had to consider such a question.

Doing so can indeed allow players to choose their own future under limited conditions.

Moreover, there is a high probability that it will not lead to an imbalance between forces.

Especially under the monitoring of big data, they can completely monitor and guide players' choices.

"And, by doing this, isn't it really deceiving the players?"

It seems fair, but it is not fair.

Compared with Fang Xueshu's plan, Zhou Linfei's idea is more subtle, but relatively speaking, it is more unfair.

"How can it be called cheating?" Zhou Linfei replied with a smile, "Could it be that the choices we make in reality must be our own ideas? Are you sure that you have not been influenced by your parents, friends, colleagues, teachers or social environment?" When you were young, you wanted to be a scientist, when you were older, you wanted to be a teacher, and later you wanted to be a businessman, a policeman, a politician, etc. Really, is it all our own choices and ideas?”

"In this life, only a very small part of the choices are made by ourselves. Therefore, we are only simulating life, and just let the players make some choices again." Zhou Linfei's smile, in the eyes of everyone, is like a devil.

What he said is the truth, and this is what everyone knows
