Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

Anyone who is a black magician knows... the forbidden magic of the "Black Magic Army of the Undead" type, it just looks awesome, but it's actually useless.

The reason is very simple, whether it is the "resurrection of the dead" that uses corpses as materials, or the "summoning of the undead" that is directly summoned from the demon world, the ones summoned are all about to have no IQ, are dull and stiff, and even chase after their legs. A toy that is useless and has no combat effectiveness...

It's very cute.

The thousands of corpses that Yang Qiu summoned from the swamp didn't even have a spirit fire in their eye sockets, and it was only thanks to the magic power provided by Yang Qiu that they could move slowly like an old man.

As soon as Yang Qiu took away the magic power, the corpses fell to the ground with a crash.

Of course, Yang Qiu didn't expect this kind of cuteness skill to play any role... All he wanted was the corpse.

Next, Yang Qiu rolled up his sleeves, squatted among the pile of corpses, and picked out the complete bones one by one...

After working hard for several hours, more than 300 pieces can be considered complete.

Then, inject magic power into these more than 300 corpses, let these corpses of different shapes line up behind the undead horse, and bring them back to the birth point.

Next, it was another big challenge - to process the simplified mental imprint and the simple teleportation circle that can only be used to teleport non-living people into these corpses.

It is impossible to require players to play games not to be lazy and not to die once.

Can you be called a player without waves?Can a game that cannot be played be called a game?

But even if Yang Qiu finds the Tarantan Wasteland, which used to be an ancient battlefield, as a game field, there are not so many complete corpses to use, so he has to think about what to do after the player dies...

Don't even think about a magic circle that can teleport living people, there is no money!No materials!Sorry!

It's easy to transmit the magic circle of non-living people... Just change the summoning technique for the caster to summon the servants of the demon world.

Well, the teleportation circle modified by this summoning technique cannot work on dead objects, because dead objects cannot respond to summons...

In short, after the player dies, the core of the "resurrection point" issued a resurrection (teleportation) call, and the player is naturally able to respond, which also solves the resurrection problem.

"It's a good idea... But if you add the two formations of Nima, the mental power consumed will be doubled!"

Halfway through, Yang Qiu found another big problem.

Earthlings, or in other words, Chinese young people have better spiritual quality, at least better than the natives of the magic plane.

According to Yang Qiu's own evaluation standard, if a magic apprentice has at least 30 points of mental power, then the average mental power of young people in Huaxia can be about [-] points, which is higher than that of the natives of the magic plane. [-]% higher percentage points.

The reason, Yang Qiu thinks it should be because the spiritual world of young people in Huaxia is relatively complete, and they have established a relationship with the world view of "believing in humans more than gods" from a very young age...

This is not random speculation, Yang Qiu has evidence - one must know that to become a magician in this plane, the first threshold for entry is "the caster never prays to God".

The Chinese young people who don't believe in gods and believe that man can conquer the sky are tantamount to consolidating their spiritual foundation since they were young... Although there are no magic rules on the earth, no matter how strong the mental power is, they can't become extraordinary.

In short, the group of Chinese young people with relatively high average spiritual power gave Yang Qiu the confidence to develop the earthlings into "gamers from other worlds". If the consumption exceeds the endurance of young people in Huaxia, then he will not be able to sing this play...

After playing the game for a few hours, you will feel empty and tired. Will the players suspect that there is something wrong with the game?Will you refuse to go online?

Then talk about the sustainable development of fart!

Yang Qiu put his head in his hands, thinking hard.

"and many more!"

"The player needs to return to the resurrection point only after dying, and there is no need to maintain the summoning technique all the time... Uh, the resurrection teleportation!"

"The resurrection transmission is only activated when you hang up, and a death penalty is added... yes, death penalty! If you die, you will be forced to disconnect. You cannot go online within half an hour of earth time. If you rest for half an hour, you can make up for the resurrection transmission. Consumed!"

After finding a solution, Yang Qiu continued to work with a smile on his face.

Finally, the problem of death and resurrection was solved... More problems were exposed again.

"Forcing the liver... Uh, forcing the player to stay online for a long time requires a numerical reward mechanism that needs timely feedback, otherwise the player will have no sense of accomplishment and will abandon the game-a level mechanism is also needed!"

"There is also a career system... without a rich career system, how to play is like a bird when you are just born, then the player will get tired of the novelty, and you still have to abandon the game and run away!"

Realizing that if these problems are not solved, even if the game is launched, it will not be able to keep people, Yang Qiu had to stop work, go back to the earth and go to an Internet cafe to study a large number of game commentary (Tucao) videos...

After tossing back and forth like this, it will be more than 300 days on Earth time until Yang Qiu, who is in a state of distress, can finally find a "game mechanism" that can barely work, and turn more than 20 skeletons into suitable "game characters" for backup. up.

Next, Yang Qiu was faced with the super problem of how to turn the motorcycle helmet ordered online into a "magic VR helmet"...

It is easy to engrave a spiritual brand, the trouble is mainly in the USB system that can be connected to the host computer.

The U disk system installed in the helmet is not a high-end device, but a simple audio-visual transcoding system and an operation interface that is so simple that elementary school students can follow the tutorial.

Players will definitely want to take screenshots, record videos or even live broadcast when playing games.

How to transmit the video and audio to the earth through the channel of consciousness, decode and compress it into video and audio that can be played by the computer, really makes Yang Qiu's intestines knotted...

Magic cannot solve this technical problem.

After much deliberation, Yang Qiusi resorted to cheating methods: buy a server and use time-space rifts to achieve a physical connection; screenshots and recorded images taken by players must be uploaded to the server at the designated location at the birth point, and after exiting the game , and then log in to the game official website to download through the VR helmet.

In order to avoid increasing workload and increasing costs, Yang Qiu decided that not all players will be able to take screenshots and shoot videos freely in the future, and they must make a certain contribution before they can apply, and then he will install a shooting device for the applicant's "game character".

Uh... Actually, it is a camera bought online, which can only be stored if it is not connected to the Internet.

Forget it if it’s a live broadcast, the world time flow rates on both sides are different, and there’s no way to synchronize!

Due to lack of funds during the period, Yang Qiu had to buy a set of bone china handicrafts in a supermarket on this side of the earth, and ran out of the Tarantan wasteland on horseback to sell them to a country nobleman...

Earth time has entered October 19. Yang Qiu, who worked hard on both sides and finally finished the "opening" work, set the opening day of the game during the National Day holiday.

Early morning on October [-]st.

Yang Qiu, who purchased a computer through an account opened with an identity purchased online, and rented a house in the suburbs to house a server, first logged in to the social account he used before crossing, and left a message for his elder sister.

It was very hard for him to remember the password of his social account half a month ago, and then immediately contacted his elder sister through the social account... There is no rush, his missing person notices are all posted on the street.

Then...he was sprayed bloody by his elder sister and mother in turn.

After racking his brains to stabilize his relatives, Yang Qiu also sent a magic VR helmet to his family... My elder sister doesn't like to play games, even mobile games, but he still wants her to see that he "run away from home" The results of a month's work...

After leaving a message for the elder sister, Yang Qiu opened the official website and checked the message board.

Because he doesn't have a magical system-assisted relationship... It is impossible to apply for a game batch number, public promotion cannot be done, and it is impossible to openly hang up the helmet sale link - the seriousness of the problem of profitability will be multiplied tenfold, and the official website points Minutes are 404.

So, Yang Qiu will be honest and don’t do redundant operations at all... I bought a domain name and made an official website, and the homepage is an extremely concise and clear line of characters: "Alien World" - the first non-profit independent VR game developed by individuals in China Explorer Edition.

Yang Qiu has no idea whether playing an indie game can bypass the 404 monsters, but anyway, as long as he can trick players into going online as soon as possible, it doesn't matter...

On this extremely crude official website, Yang Qiu posted a few made-up background introductions of the game, and a few live-action recordings of the Tarantan wasteland, the "spawn point of the undead", and his carefully crafted "undead NPC" battle video. , and secretly created a trumpet ten days ago in forums, discussion areas, and post bars where various types of hardcore players gather, and secretly promoted a wave...

As a result, it is obvious that hardcore players are not optimistic about "independent VR games". No matter which discussion forum Yang Qiu's alias posts in, he has never been welcomed, and he is either ridiculed or simply ignored by these players.

But I have to say that there are still a lot of boring people in the world. Although Yang Qiu's posting trumpet was mocked very embarrassingly, there are still many "idle is idle anyway" players followed the post to the official website. .

Then, the official website, which is not even as sophisticated as the penguin space of middle school students, persuaded a large number of these boring and painful parties to leave.

In the end... I patiently endured the embarrassing homepage, was attracted by the extremely realistic promotional video that looked like a blockbuster movie, and filled out the closed beta test in the application column at the bottom of the official website with a half-belief and a gamble mentality. There are only nine people who applied for the information and paid the 188 yuan postage for the helmet material fee.

In other words... plus the helmet mailed to the elder sister, Yang Qiu has sent out only ten login helmets so far...

On the huge official website, there are nine applicants hanging alone on the closed beta list. These players who paid for the helmets themselves all sympathized with the producer.In the past few days, these nine people would log on to the official website from time to time and post one or two embarrassing but humane comforting messages on the message board, such as:

"I'm so hungry, I knew I wouldn't be an independent game producer"

"Did the producer spend all the funds he got cheated on to make a promotional video? It's unnecessary. Why don't you save some money for instant noodles?"

"I'm too embarrassed to ask for a refund. Forget it, let's use this helmet as a safety helmet."

"Is the producer still there? Did the investor kill you?"

"Making an indie game is a dead end, why don't you go live with me in women's clothing."

……and many more.

To these reactions, Yang Qiu was very calm.

Only nine players are willing to buy it is really painful, but if you change the perspective and interpret it as nine earthlings willing to actively become his anchor point-this feels very different immediately.

After appreciating the new words on the message board today, Yang Qiu calmly posted the server opening announcement on the official website, and sent server opening reminders to the mailboxes left by the nine paying players, and then he sat down safely. He got down and waited for the anchor to come to the door.

The server opening announcement was hanging at nine o'clock in the morning.

At [-]:[-], in the computer room with only one server, Yang Qiu, the cosplayer of Jiang Taigong, suddenly opened his eyes.

In the spiritual imprint matrix composed of [-] mass-produced inscriptions that he created by himself, one inscription was lit up.

Then, the second place, the third place...
