Chapter 2023: First Taste of "Infinite Horror Online"

Chapter 2023 First taste of "Infinite Horror"

After inspiring everyone's courage, Lin Feng clapped his hands.

"Then in the next three months, I hope that everyone will work harder and develop an operating system that can be seen by people in three months to compete with Microsoft's 'ita'. I hope that within these three months , everyone can automatically cancel all vacations, so that the company can be home. Of course, I will give you a detailed calculation of overtime pay. If it meets our expectations, I will ask everyone to go on vacation!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

I didn’t sleep for three months. Of course, I didn’t really stay awake. I just ate, drank, and ate in the company and devoted myself to work. ——No one has much objection to Lin Feng’s point. Originally, as a programmer, my job was unstable and overtime was common. Especially when working in a hurry, it is extremely normal to work 24 hours a day for a week or a month without taking a break.

Therefore, everyone is extremely accommodating to this working state. Although this time it requires no rest for three months, it is a bit long. But seeing the million dollar prize and the vacation, everyone happily agreed.

"Okay, let's start work now! Mai Duo, you and your original 'Android' employees will communicate with everyone first, and then communicate with each other to see how everyone divides the work. Cohen, why did you come here? This is just from 'Android' The designers who come will leave it to you. You can arrange the work! Ask them if you don't understand anything." After Lin Feng assigned him, he left with Wu Zhaopu.

The "Software Development Department" is a very crazy place. When these programmers go crazy, the state is very scary, so it's better to stay here less often. So as not to be contaminated by their "madness".

"By the way, Mr. Wu, within these three months, remind the restaurant to prepare meals for them at any time. If necessary, you can send someone to deliver the meals." Lin Feng thought for a while and ordered.

"Well, boss, you don't have to worry about this. Our company restaurant is open 24 hours a day. You haven't been in the company for a short time, so you don't know much about it. Don't talk about this 'software development department', it's just the game development department. Once it goes crazy They often work overtime day and night. For example, before the open beta of "World War", all the employees did not leave their game development department for food and drinks. "Wu Zhaopu had already known this. experience.

Lin Feng was stunned. Fortunately, I was not a programmer before my rebirth, otherwise I would have definitely wanted to develop some software, and that would have been really sinful.

"By the way, boss, why do you have to launch it in three months? We are running out of time!" After Wu Zhaopu hesitated for a while, he asked the question he wanted to ask. He had asked this question before, but Lin Feng didn't answer him. Now he couldn't help but ask it again.

"Haha, Mr. Wu, you will understand after three months.

"Lin Feng once again sold his relationship, which made Wu Zhaopu extremely depressed.

"By the way, how is the situation with World War now?" Lin Feng asked.

"Everything is as expected so far. After the major consortiums entered, the progress of game civilization has been greatly accelerated. The current ratio of exchanging game currency to cash every day is about 3:1, and our company earns about 100 million U.S. dollars every day!" Wu Zhao Pu said happily.

"War of the Worlds" now earns $100 million every day, which is more than the profits of all other games. It won't be until the end of the year, tsk, tsk, that financial statement is enough to stun any company in the world. Of course, there are also many hidden dangers. For example, when major consortiums were willing to spend billions of dollars to come in, it was naturally not to give money to the company, but to make money from it. Now they are still in the period of giving, but when it comes to the period of harvest, it will be uncertain. At that time, we may not know how much money the company will lose every day.

"Don't worry, this is a game world, not the real world. We have the final say, not them." Lin Feng patted Wu Zhaopu on the shoulder and said confidently.

Wu Zhaopu pursed his lips, and now he could only hope so.

"By the way, where's "Shu Mountain"?" Lin Feng asked expectantly.

"Shu Mountain" is an idea proposed by Lin Feng himself, and it is also something that everyone is looking forward to. Immortals, people like to live forever, and cultivating immortals can help people live forever. This is of course something in a novel, and it is impossible for this kind of thing to happen in the real world. And just reading the novel will make people a little bit unsatisfied. So if you can let players play the game themselves, that's completely different. In the game, the player who controls himself transforms from a mortal body to a god step by step. This process is enough to make all players deeply involved. And thinking about the scene where players fight in the sky later in the game makes Lin Feng excited. Especially players with advanced skills can kill tens of millions of players with just one move, that's so exciting.

Therefore, Lin Feng is extremely looking forward to "Shu Mountain". Even better than War of the Worlds. After all, every Chinese man has a martial arts complex and fairy tales from childhood. However, Lin Feng also knows that even if "Shushan" is successful, it may not be as profitable as "War of the Worlds". After all, this kind of cultivation culture only spreads in mainland China. It is incomprehensible to other places, especially the West. It is simply impossible to understand how mortals can cultivate to immortality.

But as long as it prevails in mainland China, that's enough.

"Boss, your request is too high, and the current progress is limited. However, according to your request, we have developed copies of the 'Innate Realm' and the 'Supernatural Realm' after the 'Acquired Peak' in the martial arts novels. Of course, only the general framework has been completed, and many details have not yet been completed,” Wu Zhaopu said.

Lin Feng nodded. His request was indeed difficult, but he could release them one by one. By releasing copies one by one according to the realm of cultivation, players can experience the charm of "Shushan" in a short time.

"Wulala~~~" At this moment, a shocking cry suddenly came out. Of course, in the ears of Lin Feng and Wu Zhaopu, the sound was very small, but the reason why it was said to be shocking was that the sound insulation effect of "Century Light" was very good. Even if a grenade exploded, people at other levels could not hear it. But now Lin Feng and Wu Zhaopu actually heard a faint sound of joy, which was enough to describe the shocking sound.

"This seems to be from the 'Third Game Development Department'." Wu Zhaopu deduced after carefully identifying it for a long time.

"The Third Game Development Department", the director is Wu Gang, who is responsible for the development of "Infinite Horror n", could it be that "Infinite Horror n" has made progress? ——Lin Feng's expression moved.

"Let's go, Mr. Wu, let's go to the 'Third Game Development Department'!" Lin Feng pulled Wu Zhaopu into the elevator.

Before the elevator door opened, Lin Feng heard a huge cheer coming from the elevator door. It seems that "Infinite Horror n" should have made some progress, which made Lin Feng very interested.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Lin Feng stepped out quickly. Wu Zhaopu was also very excited, but Lin Feng was the boss, so he naturally let Lin Feng go first. As a subordinate, you must know how to be polite at critical moments. Don't steal the boss's limelight, and don't spoil the boss's fun.

"Wu Gang, tell me quickly, what's going on? I heard the huge cheers from you upstairs!" Lin Feng separated the people who were hugging the cheers and shouted loudly.

"Haha, boss, you are here, just in time. I was just about to report to you!" Wu Gang saw that it was Lin Feng and shouted happily.

At this moment, Lin Feng has confirmed that "Infinite Horror n" must have made gratifying progress. This is a good thing! Although "World War" is selling well, it is not okay to have only one game selling well worldwide. Players will have aesthetic fatigue. They are tired of fighting every day. It is good to change the taste occasionally.

"Boss, the problem that has troubled us in "Infinite Horror N" is the reaction of NPCs. After all, this game is adapted from your masterpiece "Infinite Horror". Its important core is that the player's every move can change the attitude and action of NPCs in each copy of the game. This involves the issue of artificial intelligence. We have always been very confused. Fortunately, you gave us "Nu Wa" later. However, the artificial intelligence of "Nu Wa" is too elementary and can't take into account the reactions of all NPCs. Especially for the incredible behaviors of players, "Nu Wa" can't do it at all." Wu Zhaopu sighed.

"Oh, then how are you going to solve it?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

"Haha, boss, after continuous practice and discussion, we finally decided to develop a set of artificial intelligence suitable for "Infinite Horror N" based on "Nu Wa", and today we have just completed the development. We named it-Xuanyuan!"

Xuanyuan, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of mankind? Xuanyuan is the Yellow Emperor, whose surname is Ji and he lived in Xuanyuan Hill, so he was named Xuanyuan. He was born, started his business and built his capital in Youxiong (now Zheng, Henan), so he was also called Youxiong clan. Because he had the auspiciousness of earth virtue, he was called the Yellow Emperor. He defeated Emperor Yan in Banquan and Chiyou in Zhuolu. The princes respected him as the Son of Heaven, and later generations regarded him as the ancestor of the Chinese nation. It also refers to the Chinese nation, the name of the chariot, the constellation, etc. He is the ancestor of the Chinese nation, the ancestor of humanities, and the leader of the tribal alliance in ancient China.

This name is well chosen! However, the progress of this "Nuwa" is limited. Can Wu Gang and others develop artificial intelligence while developing games? Lin Feng is a little skeptical about this.

"Boss, this 'Xuanyuan' was originally developed based on the source code of 'Nuwa'. It is very limited in terms of being more advanced than 'Nuwa'. It has only been modified according to some features of "Infinite Horror N". This alone is not enough to be competent for the game tasks of "Infinite Horror N". The reason why 'Xuanyuan' is more suitable for "Infinite Horror N" than 'Nuwa' is that we have set up several 'sub-artificial intelligences' in 'Xuanyuan'." Wu Gang introduced.

"Sub-artificial intelligence"? Lin Feng was confused.

"Well, how should I put it? In fact, this 'sub-artificial intelligence' is also inspired by the dual-core pu. The dual-core pu can achieve a processing effect that is twice as fast as a single core through dual-core simultaneous calculation. And this 'sub-artificial intelligence' is the same. We bring together several 'artificial intelligences' with similar functions, and then give them the authority to manage different tasks. Then, through the 'parent artificial intelligence', we can achieve more powerful functions than the original 'Nuwa' system! It can also meet the needs of "Infinite Horror N"!" Wu Gang explained one by one.

Of course, there are many professional terms, as well as the hardships and failures in the development process. After all, for the boss, what they need to see is the result, not the process.

Lin Feng nodded. Although he was a little confused by this "child artificial intelligence" and "father artificial intelligence", as long as it is suitable for "Infinite Horror N", it will be fine.

"Just now we implanted the 'Xuanyuan' artificial intelligence into the game, hehe, guess what? The performance of 'Xuanyuan' is much better than 'Nuwa', and the NPCs in the game can respond to the players accordingly. It's really interesting. I can be sure that once "Infinite Horror N" is on the market, it will never be worse than "World War"!" Wu Gang said excitedly.

"Can I enter the game and experience it now?" Lin Feng asked.

"Of course. But we have only developed one copy at present, which is the copy of "Resident Evil" (movie version), and it is an incomplete copy. Boss, if you want to test it, I am afraid you can only experience it once, not fun." Wu Gang apologized slightly.

"Haha, it's okay, as long as you can experience the game atmosphere of "Xuanyuan" and "Infinite Horror" you mentioned." Lin Feng laughed. This is the privilege of being the boss of a game company. You can experience it at the beginning of game development. This feeling is beyond words!

"Boss, since we haven't designed the startup program yet, you wait for me to help you enter it." Wu Gang typed a command line on the screen, and then entered a piece of code. The screen went black, and a few minutes later, a scene appeared.

"Boss, since we haven't designed the relevant opening g and the opening cutscene, we will directly enter the copy. This is the copy of "Resident Evil" (movie version)." Wu Gang introduced.

Lin Feng nodded, and then focused his eyes on the screen. Everyone around held their breath. They had spent several months developing "Infinite Horror", and this was their only achievement. If Lin Feng was not satisfied, it would be a disgrace.

At this moment, a train carriage appeared on the screen. This should be the carriage that went to the "hive" at the beginning of "Resident Evil" (movie version). Lin Feng controlled the character to look around, and there was no one. But it was normal. This was the first game design version, not even a beta version, so naturally there would be no other people. However, although it was the first game design version, the graphics were not bad, not worse than "World of Warcraft". Just from the graphics, it can be scored 8 points.

Not long after, the carriage stopped, the carriage door opened, and Lin Feng controlled the character to walk out.

Walking across the platform, in front of him was the door with special symbols in the movie. And the "tar" team that appeared in the movie at this moment, the captain should be called Matthew Edison. And Lin Feng also saw the heroine of "Resident Evil" (movie version) - Alice.

"Minister Wu, why is Alice like this? She's not very vivid. Can't she be designed to be the same as in the movie?" Lin Feng asked.

"Well, boss, isn't this because we're afraid of copyright issues? Although we've already obtained the copyright of "Resident Evil", using the prototype of the movie character may involve the copyright of the movie star. So we just borrowed a little bit of the prototype and made it into a similar shape!" Wu Gang explained.

"No, this will not have the essence of "Infinite Horror". We must be faithful to the original work so that players can feel involved. As for the copyright, leave it to the company." Lin Feng ordered.

Wu Gang nodded and quickly recorded it.

Then, the plot was the same as in the novel and the movie. "Tar" opened the door and started climbing the stairs. Lin Feng naturally had to follow.

By the way, what about the system? In the novel, if you don't keep up with the game character, you will explode. Lin Feng quickly called out the system menu. Sure enough, there were some corresponding task introductions on it. Then, Lin Feng decided not to climb, and then when the distance between the two sides exceeded 200 meters, the character really exploded as in the novel.

Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction.

But everyone shook their heads helplessly. Is this boss looking for death? He didn't even try to experience the plot and design of the game right after he came out. He just wanted to die. But Lin Feng was the boss, so even if everyone was dissatisfied, they didn't dare to say much.

And then, something happened that made everyone even more depressed. After re-entering the game, Lin Feng punched Matthew Edison at the beginning.

H-y-gd! ——Everyone screamed, does this boss have a violent tendency? He actually attacked Matthew Edison directly.

As for the result, he was shot and killed by Matthew Edison.

Lin Feng died again and entered the game again.

And then, Lin Feng attacked another "tar" team member and died again.

Then, Lin Feng tested all the team members. Naturally, every time he tested, Lin Feng died. And every death brought helplessness to many designers. Can't you experience the game first before looking for bugs! They are designing games, not bugs. Faced with Lin Feng's spirit of challenging bugs, many designers feel hurt.

"Not bad, not bad, this design is good. Otherwise, it would not be consistent with the novel." Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction.

Wu Gang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"But what if we curse these players?" Lin Feng suddenly said.

Everyone was stunned. They had not considered this.

Then Lin Feng input a few curses, and many players did not respond.

"Minister Wu, this must be added to the game. Otherwise, it would be too fake." Lin Feng said.

Wu Gang quickly recorded it, this is the second point.

"Uh, boss, there are so many curse words in the world. Even if 'Xuanyuan' is an artificial intelligence, I am afraid it can't distinguish every curse word!" Wu Gang said.

"This is very simple. Just input the common swear words from all over the world. As for the others, let the NPC treat the player's words as his own. Of course, you also need to set the reaction to the different behaviors of the player according to the NPC's personality. For example, some NPCs like to be quiet. If the player is nagging, the NPC may change his attitude towards the player, such as prohibiting the player from talking, or directly attacking the player." Lin Feng said.

Wu Gang took a breath of cold air. If this is done, the workload will be much larger. If such a subtle place is to be comprehensive, the workload will probably be more than ten times more than before. Wu Gang wanted to ask Lin Feng for more manpower at the first time.

"Minister Wu, I know you don't have enough manpower. Don't worry, I will send you more manpower." Lin Feng seemed to sense Minister Wu's difficulties and said comfortingly.

Wu Gang was relieved immediately.

"By the way, what do you think Alice's reaction will be if I hit her?" Lin Feng said and hit Alice.

This time, the "tar" team did not react at all. Lin Feng continued to beat Alice until she fell to the ground, and then "Tar" opened fire on Lin Feng, killing him instantly.

"Minister Wu, this won't work. Think about it, although Alice was not so important at the beginning in the movie, the "Tar" team would not react until they saw Alice being beaten to death. So it must be changed!" Lin Feng said.

Wu Gang smiled bitterly and nodded. They only designed things in the general direction, so they didn't pay attention to such subtle details. But since Lin Feng had spoken, they would change it.

This time, Lin Feng finally did not attack again, but followed the "Tar" team into the "hive" honestly. All the programmers breathed a sigh of relief. They finally didn't have to endure Lin Feng's constant self-mutilation-like "suicide".

"Uh, Minister Wu, can these surrounding walls and the like be attacked? Will there be any changes after the attack?" At this time, Lin Feng had already entered the laboratory, and suddenly pointed to the surrounding glass walls and asked.

"This can be attacked, but after the attack, in addition to some traces of the attack, it will not cause any code damage to the walls, etc." Wu Gang answered.

The so-called code destruction refers to the change of the game structure due to the player's attack. Because everything in the game is generated by code. Therefore, the industry often calls some changes in the original structure of the game due to player behavior as code line destruction.

"This is not okay, it must be changed! Otherwise, think about it, if the player attacks the ground with a rocket launcher, and the ground is just faintly black, it's too fake!" Lin Feng said.

Wu Gang felt that he could not see the light at all. Originally, he had developed the "Xuanyuan" artificial intelligence, and "Infinite Horror N" should be on the market soon. Although there are so many copies, it only needs to be inserted into a fixed template, and the development cycle will not take too long. Especially many movies, especially those g movies, have templates in the computer, and they can be transferred in by spending money. The progress of this work can naturally be greatly accelerated. But now that Lin Feng said this, it's a big trouble.

Lin Feng wants the game to have code destruction, and the change is completely earth-shaking. For example, if the player attacks the "beehive" with a rocket launcher, will the entire "beehive" collapse? The changes that will be brought about are much greater. When designing, you have to take all changes into consideration. For example, the changes in attacks with different weapons, the changes in attacks after the player has mastered superpowers, and so on. In this way, the difficulty of developing the entire game may be ten times or even a hundred times greater than originally expected.

By then, the capacity that will be opened will probably be extremely terrifying. By then, perhaps a client of dozens of gigabytes will be able to accommodate the huge source code of "Infinite Horror N".

Lin Feng is naturally clear about this, but there is nothing he can do about it. The essence of "Infinite Horror N" is change, and if the game cannot be changed, then the player will naturally not feel involved when playing, and will also feel that it is not very interesting. Only when everything in the game can be completely changed will the player be excited. Especially these scenes are scenes that have appeared in the movie, so the player will be excited when they change.

This point is something that "World War" cannot compare to. After all, "World War" has almost no NPCs, and all actions are the player's autonomous actions. Compared with the reactions of countless NPCs in "Infinite Horror N", the difficulty is much simpler.

"Okay, I'll write it down." Wu Gang wrote it down with tears in his eyes.

"Minister Wu, don't cry. This point must be changed. Otherwise, for example, if I want to break the glass and release the zombies directly, if you can't perform code destruction, this is impossible!" Lin Feng said.

Wu Gang was sweating. You say, which player would choose to release all the zombies directly when he is unarmed? Isn't this courting death? Absolutely courting death! So Wu Gang and others didn't consider this at all when designing. Instead, they designed it with reference to the novel and the movie. Knowing that they would meet Lin Feng, the "pervert", they actually thought about releasing all the zombies from the beginning.

This is not perverted!

Lin Feng didn't pay attention to the wonderful expressions of the people behind him at this moment, but followed the "tar" team to continue to develop the plot. Seeing that they were about to enter the "laser room", it was here that "tar" suffered casualties.

"By the way, how did you design how to change the fate of NPCs?" Lin Feng asked.

"According to our design, players only need to enter some specific words. Once touched, the NPC will change. For example, if you enter the words "danger" and "laser" here, the "tar" team will change." Wu Gang said confidently. He has considered this detail, and Lin Feng should not find any bugs or deficiencies!

Lin Feng did not say much, and directly entered "laser". As in the novel, Lin Feng was sent by the "tar" team to enter this "laser room" first. As expected, Lin Feng died.

Then, Lin Feng entered the game again. But this time, Lin Feng did not leave at the door. Instead, he directly entered the words "laser" and "danger". As a result, there was no abnormality in "tar" this time.

"Minister Wu!" Lin Feng called out.

"Boss, I'll remember it, I'll remember it right away!" Wu Gang was in a hurry. His design was completely based on the novel "Infinite Horror" and the many movies involved in it. As a result, who knew that Lin Feng was perverted and specifically thought of Fang'er to find bugs. This is too perverted! As soon as Lin Feng spoke, Wu Gang was frightened.

"Minister Wu, I haven't finished yet!" Lin Feng shrugged helplessly.

"Minister Wu, this can't just use these sensitive words to attract the attention of the NPC. Does it mean that the player said to the NPC that you are going to die soon, but did not touch the sensitive words, and the NPC did not react? This NPC is too stupid, is this still artificial intelligence!" Lin Feng asked.

Wu Gang sweated. He knew this, but he had no way. You know, the artificial intelligence of "Xuanyuan" is not very high, and it is too difficult for it to deal with these. But Lin Feng has already spoken, and he can only listen.

"Okay, I won't say more to you, I will continue to experience the game." Lin Feng put his mind on the game again.

This time, Lin Feng followed "tar" to develop the plot again, but this time Lin Feng did not make any extra actions, but followed "tar" to the place where the copy mission ended, which is the farthest place of the current "Resident Evil" (movie version).

Then, Lin Feng waited for the computer to freeze, entered the game again, and then began to try other changes.

"Minister Wu, this action is not very flexible. I think we should learn from World War!" Lin Feng's voice came.

"Boss, I'll write it down right away!" Wu Gang screamed.

"Minister Wu, the damage attribute of this system is not accurate enough. Whether it is a player or an NPC, there should be different states when they encounter different damages, instead of the same blood reduction!" Lin Feng said.

"Boss, I'll write it down right away!" Wu Gang screamed.

"Minister Wu, this person was bitten by a zombie. How long does it take to transform into a zombie? Also, after you are bitten by a zombie, is it possible for the player to evolve into a full variant? Also, can the player collect Alice's blood? And can the player get the original fluid of the 'T virus'?" Lin Feng asked one question after another.

Wu Gang's face twitched unrecognizable. In just a short while, Lin Feng recorded as many as 97 improvements. Not to mention developing other games, it would take a lot of time to improve all 97 items.

"Minister Wu, why do you look so bad? Okay, I won't play any more. There are too many bugs. You guys keep working on it. Anyway, I require that "Infinite Horror" must be a nearly perfect game. Otherwise, I would rather it not be released." Lin Feng ordered.

Everyone nodded.

"Boss, we will definitely work hard!" Although the voice was shrill, it felt like a desperate move.

Lin Feng nodded and turned to leave.

It seems that the TV series (movie) of "Infinite Horror" should also start filming and conduct preliminary publicity for the game
