Dong Yucheng was confused. Obviously he didn't care about things in the gaming industry, nor did he care much about the research on VR technology at Jinghai Research Institute. Naturally, he knew nothing about it.
Dean Bai cheerfully introduced: "Do you think that Xiaolu, like the previous game producers, is using kung fu themes as a cover? And then he uses your banner to deceive players? You want to It would be a huge mistake to think so.
"Xiaolu has made a very good game before, called "Walking with Darkness", and this game not only helped us collect a lot of experimental data for research in the game, but also almost re-established the mobile VR game The gameplay is standard design, and the effect of him running out completely subverts our previous understanding of human movement in the virtual world. More importantly, he also successfully outperformed several hackers in the virtual space...
"This is not a fake game like ordinary game designers, he is serious about it!"
Dong Yucheng was even more confused after hearing this.
What the hell? Why is there such a thing as hackers here?
Listening to Dean Bai's detailed explanation, Dong Yucheng finally understood.
In short, this Lu always has two points that are completely different from other game designers.
First, his game design is indeed very unique! While other game designers basically follow rules, he creates them.
Take "Walking with Darkness" as an example. Before this game, many VR games did not have a clear standard for how players should move in the virtual world.
Lu Zhixing established this standard through "Walking with Darkness" and allowed a large number of players to accept various basic movements in parkour rock climbing, providing a good reference for similar movement mechanisms in all subsequent games.
In this process, the various data collected by players in the game will naturally be of great help to the research work of Jinghai Research Institute.
Secondly, Mr. Lu is really going to do it himself, he means it!
In officially organized competitions, he not only outperformed professional rock climbers and parkour players, he even protected the security of the virtual space when being chased and intercepted by gun-wielding hackers.
And he has not been learning rock climbing and parkour for a long time, only two or three months.
It was precisely because of the success of "Walking with Darkness" that Dean Bai personally made the connections, hoping to promote this new project.
For Dean Bai, he is happy to help with this matter both in public and private matters.
From the perspective of Jinghai Research Institute, there is currently no game on the market that can truly determine the action mechanism in consciousness-connected VR technology. If Lu Zhixing's new game can achieve this, it will not only set a benchmark for the game industry, but also greatly increase the player data that the institute can collect and study.
From Dean Bai's own perspective, he is also willing to help such an outstanding young producer to see what he can achieve.
Speaking of this, Dong Yucheng probably knew why Dean Bai still paid so much attention to this although it was not an official research project.
It seems that this young man's research and development capabilities are even stronger than those of the official research institute!
Of course, Dong Yucheng also felt that outperforming hackers was outrageous, and he could not imagine what it would be like at that time. But since Dean Bai said it himself, even if there are some exaggerations, it should be true.
The successful precedent of "Walking with Darkness", coupled with Dean Bai's full guarantee, finally made Dong Yucheng feel a little looser.
But he still couldn't make a decision immediately.
"Then, Mr. Lu, can you briefly explain what kind of game this is? I need to find out more details. If there are some art materials, or stills, I should be able to understand better." Dong Yucheng said .
Dean Bai drank tea: "After all, this game has just been launched. I'm afraid these things are temporarily..."
Lu Zhixing said: "I really made some simple scenes. I can ask the two seniors to take a look."
Dean Bai and Dong Yucheng were both stunned for a moment: "Is it really true?"
Obviously, even Dean Bai didn't expect that this game had just been launched and a virtual scene had already been created?
Lu Zhixing explained: "I am a person who pays more attention to efficiency."
Dean Bai immediately asked someone to bring three VR game helmets: "Okay, let's go and take a look!"
Soon, the three of them came to a space that Lu Zhixing had specially designated in the virtual space.
"This game is called "Dubu Martial Arts", and it tells a martial arts story in modern society. After all, everyone has seen too many martial arts stories with ancient backgrounds, and they are a little tired of it. Modern stories can not only better enhance players' The sense of substitution can also be integrated with modern scenes and modern fighting techniques.
"The general outline of the story is this: a murder occurred in the city, and four martial artists died tragically in their own properties, which were a boxing gym, a nightclub, a sculpture gallery, and a sanatorium. The four martial artists were good at boxing and kicking respectively. , grappling and swordsmanship, and they died precisely under the martial arts they were best at.
"So, the protagonist played by the player serves as a consultant to cooperate with the police in detecting the case. He rushes to the scene of the crime, determines the fighting process between the two parties through clues at the scene, and simulates the battle between the two parties in his mind, playing the murderer and defeating the four A martial artist, and thus deduced the identity of the murderer.
"During this process, the murderer's identity was gradually revealed. He turned out to be a rural youth who no one cared about and was even a bit cowardly in a small county town, named Feng Shu.
"Since he was a child, he wanted to become a hero who would do justice and take revenge, and he practiced hard day after day. However, an experience of doing something brave for justice when he was young caused him to be beaten violently, and his temperament changed drastically. He believed that the spirit of chivalry They are all deceptive, turning to Kung Fu as a killing technique and pursuing absolute power.
"In front of people, he is a rural young man with a cowardly character, a twisted heart, and seemingly someone who can be bullied by others. But behind the scenes, he is a martial arts lunatic who has become obsessed with martial arts and is almost a demon.
"In the end, due to some kind of stimulation, his other personality was inspired, and he started this path of proving the Tao through martial arts. He wanted to use various martial arts to kill the strongest martial artist in the world and become the number one person in the martial arts world. .
"And the scene we are seeing now is the scene where Feng Shu fights three of the martial artists: a nightclub, a sculpture gallery, and a nursing home in a bustling commercial center."
Following Lu Zhixing's introduction, the three of them came to the game scene as if they were immersed in the game.
The first is the nightclub, where the lights are bright and the neon lights are flashing. The bodyguards guarding the place are all tall and thick, standing neatly in two rows, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
This nightclub is not purely modern in style, but has many traditional elements, such as the windows and guardrails in the private rooms on the second floor, which look very Chinese.
Then the scene changed and we came to the Sculpture Art Museum again.
The place looks neat and spacious, surrounded by various art exhibits and large-screen electronic noticeboards, with many modern paintings and sculptures.
However, among these modern works, there are also many traditional-style exhibits, such as splash-ink landscape paintings, reliefs, etc., which are perfectly integrated through the natural transformation of scene styles.
In the previous nightclub scene, neither Dean Bai nor Dong Yucheng had much reaction.
But seeing the scene in the art museum, both of them were a little surprised and said: "This scene looks a bit like a private art museum in Jinghai?"
Lu Zhixing nodded: "Yes, this is one of the filming locations that our production team has finalized. We have already negotiated with the boss. When the time comes, there will be some fighting scenes, and we will shoot them here."
Dong Yucheng was even more surprised: "Real shot? Aren't you making games?"
Lu Zhixing nodded: "Of course the game can also be shot in real life. Some scenes and actions must be shot by real people to make them more realistic. This is why I insist on asking you to be a martial artist. Only at your level Only with professionals can I successfully complete my previous ideas.”
Dong Yucheng couldn't help but smile on his face. Apparently, he was quite impressed by what Lu Zhixing said.
Dean Bai was also very satisfied: "Okay, then are the remaining scenes also shot in Jinghai? Yes, this will be very helpful in increasing the popularity of our Jinghai and creating a city card!"
Now these cities are paying more and more attention to the development of the cultural industry. After all, the cultural industry can not only increase the city's popularity, but also play a strong role in promoting the city's tourism and tertiary industries.
Wasn't Jingzhou just forcibly brought from a second-tier city to a first-tier city?
So Dean Bai was of course very happy to see that this game uses Jinghai as the main filming location.
