Chapter 140 Oil Truck and Tram

Chapter 140 Oil Truck and Tram

Jiangning, Binhai Avenue.

Chen Ba and Xiao Lu were sitting in front of the grocery store, observing the most congested intersection in the city for three hours.

"Brother Ba, I'm so hungry..."

"Why are you hungry again?!"

Chen Ba rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you just have dinner in the morning?"

"But it's afternoon now!"

"Okay! Then hold on a little longer and eat some biscuits to cushion your stomach. Our data collection is almost complete."

After appeasing the hungry Xiao Lu, Chen Ba took a sip of the iced black tea given by the owner of the grocery store and looked down at the statistical list.

The largest number of vehicles is between 100,000 and 300,000.

New energy green license plates account for about 30%, and SUVs account for nearly 45%. The proportions of models from all major manufacturers are very even. There are popular cars that are popular on the streets, and there are also unpopular cars with unfamiliar logos.

"New energy and SUVs are quite mainstream!"

Chen Ba sighed with emotion, and then said: "But it's normal. There are still quite a lot of charging piles in Jiangning. It is more cost-effective to use electric cars for daily commuting than gas cars."

This is not necessarily the case in rural areas.

But having said that, they counted the models that are often used on the road, and they were originally sampling for the new game "Speed".

The background of the game is also a prosperous city. In order to fit the game background, it is reasonable for them to go to the congested sections of the city to conduct sampling surveys.

"So many SUVs?"

Xiao Lu glanced at the questionnaire and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Then our new game must also cater to the demand and make more SUV models?"

"decide as things go."

Chen Ba neither affirmed nor denied.

Because the specific car models that will be used in the game may not necessarily completely refer to this survey data, but also depend on the needs of the game.

Although SUV is the first choice for most people to buy a car in reality, this does not mean that the vast majority of players will drive an SUV in the game.

Why?

Because what everyone wants when buying an SUV is that it has a large interior space, is suitable for self-driving travel, has a high seating position and has a wide field of vision, and has strong adaptability to road conditions, etc.

But these factors are difficult to reflect in the game.

in other words……

When players drive in reality, they can clearly feel the difference between an SUV and a car. After all, the driving experience, sitting posture and field of view, and the space inside the car all have a feeling.

But in the game, is there really such a big difference between driving an SUV and a car?

No!

The actual game experience is basically the same. Unless the game manufacturer has specially optimized vehicle handling for different models, players will not be able to tell the difference at all.

"What about the electric train and the gas train?"

After listening to this, Xiao Lu then asked: "Do trams and petrol trucks behave the same way?"

"tram……"

Chen Ba was asked.

He also plays a lot of racing games, but it seems that the vehicles he drives are mostly fuel vehicles, and there are very few or almost no electric vehicles.

"This can't work!"

"It's okay if SUVs and cars can't make much difference, but the driving experience of pure electric vehicles and fuel vehicles should be completely different, right?"

"You are right."

Chen Ba thought about it and realized that there should be some distinction between electric cars and gasoline cars, mainly in terms of controllability.

After all, one of the two is electric-driven and the other is fuel-driven. The difference is much greater than that of an SUV and a car.

Reflected in the game, it should be that the instantaneous acceleration capability of the electric car will be stronger, and the power will be on call, while the gas car will be relatively sluggish.

“Trams generally start very quickly, and power is always available, whereas for gasoline-powered cars, even if they step on the floor oil, there is still a waiting time for the power to respond.”

Chen Ba thought: "After the game is made, certain control distinctions should be made based on the characteristics of these two vehicles."

"To put it simply, the tram is more adaptable to the game logic, accelerates faster, and responds to the player's instructions very quickly, while the gas car will be slower."

"Wouldn't it be a disadvantage to drive an oil truck?" Xiao Lu asked.

If it is really designed like this, then unless the player is a fool, they will definitely use the tram. After all, playing games, especially such racing games, is all about performance.

Reality is different from games.

In the game, since oil trucks have such problems, they are unlikely to become the first choice of players. After all, in the game, there is no problem with battery life.

"really……"

Chen Ba frowned.

If the instantaneous acceleration ability of the electric car is really emphasized, then the gas car will be too disadvantaged in the game.

Unless oil trucks have other advantages!

This advantage is actually battery life and a more convenient way to replenish energy.

In order to reflect the advantages of gas vehicles in the game, besides getting a gas station and charging pile, is there any other better way?

"Modification potential?"

Xiao Lu came up with an idea that was not yet mature, that is, in the game, although the instantaneous acceleration capabilities of oil trucks are relatively poor, they have a lot of room for modification and can meet various needs.

Moreover, after being modified to the extreme, the instantaneous acceleration capability will not be much worse than that of a tram, and in other aspects it is even more explosive in all aspects.

In this way, whether it is a gas car or an electric car, everyone will play in the game, and it will not be biased towards one side, causing a certain type of car to fall out of favor.

"Can!"

Chen Ba nodded and said: "The electric cars tend to be for lazy players. They can be played without much training, and the performance is not bad. The oil cars are exclusive to high-end players. After all, they love to toss, so give them full play. Space for imagination.”

This gives you the best of both worlds.

Whether it is a tram or a gas truck, they can have a group of players and fans in the game "Speed".

If you like to tinker with modifications, then go for the oil truck. After all, the built-in modifications have a higher degree of freedom, so you can do whatever you want.

If you are too lazy to do anything, and just occasionally run around for a while, let's play tram. The main thing is to save worry and don't bother. If you are good at driving, you can still kill everyone...

Except for oil and electricity.

In the game "Speed", Chen Ba is also planning to design a new and more special mechanism: vehicle durability!

"What's the meaning?"

Xiao Lu was confused when he heard this. Is Brother Ba planning to give the vehicles in the game a mechanism similar to CSGO gun wear?

"right!"

Chen Ba expressed his thoughts.

In fact, it is very simple. He has experienced so many similar games and found that in these racing games, different vehicles are extremely homogeneous.

To put it bluntly...

Many people play this type of game. Even though there are a lot of racing cars in the garage, there are usually only one or two cars that they usually use.

Many people are hamsters!

Take a racing game that Chen Ba plays as an example. There are dozens of different sports cars in the garage, but his favorite car is also the most frequently used car, and there are only two or three of them.

What are the other cars for?

The answer is to just let it sit and eat ashes, simply to satisfy your desire for collection. Maybe you buy this car, drive it for two laps for the first time, and then never touch it again.

This situation is very common!

Because they are so common, most models are wasted and not utilized.

Chen Bacai was thinking, how about adding "durability" to these racing cars? The more frequently it is used, the higher the accident rate, the faster the durability declines, and finally becomes a scrapped car?

Thus……

The game becomes like this: The more you love and cherish your car, the more reluctant you may be to use it. You would rather sit in the garage and eat dust than take it out for a spin.

After all, the cost of slipping for two laps is very likely to be a decrease in the durability of the vehicle. If it is a car you like very much, it will really make your heart bleed...

"I know what you mean!"

After hearing Brother Ba's thoughts, Xiao Lu couldn't help but joked: "So other cars will have a chance to appear, right? Only key games will use good cars. In ordinary games, driving an old man is almost enough." "

"Hahaha!"

Chen Ba also laughed.

Not to mention, although Xiao Lu’s words are a bit outrageous, they may actually become a fact.

For a race with high rewards and high attention, drive the best car. Like Qingqing's daily game to reward achievements, it becomes an "old man's fun" party.

After all, the durability of Laotoule will be lost if it falls off. As long as the reward is obtained, Laotoule can toss it around as much as he wants. If it is scrapped, it will be scrapped. At the worst, he will spend money to buy another one!

Be bold!

Maybe in some rubbish competitions, even Laotoule may be a "high-end car", and the participating players may be using small electric donkeys or Sanbengzi.

"You understand players..."

Xiao Lu smiled crookedly. A group of players competed online in his mind. As a result, there was a scene where an old music player competed on the same stage with a small electric donkey and a three-bouncer.

Oh my God!

Contestant No. 174 actually drove a bicycle, and it was a children's bicycle...

Live in Bengbu, family!

After adding durability to vehicles, it is not difficult to imagine players choosing different cars based on different event levels and reward standards in order to reduce vehicle wear and tear.

The old man was too happy.

But there is a high probability that a car that is in the garage, does not receive much attention, has a low cost of modification, and does not like very much, will be sent to the competition.

After all, the reward is too tiring. If you don’t drive a garbage truck, how can you drive your favorite car?

Pull it down quickly!

Just the mosquito leg reward, even if you get first place, is not worthwhile. After all, the resources players invest in their car are much more than this reward.

"The durability should be restored, right?"

After laughing, Xiao Lu couldn't help but said: "It wouldn't be good if you can't reply and can only keep falling."

After all, many players will invest energy and time into a beloved racing car. If they end up struggling with it and are afraid to drive it at all, and it will be permanently damaged once it is driven, it will be a bit more than the gain is worth the loss.

"It will definitely recover."

"It's just that the lower the durability, the greater the cost of recovery. The specific cost depends on the balance of game values. This will be decided at that time."

When Chen Ba said this, he was also hungry, so he asked Xiao Lu to go to a XX pig's trotter restaurant on the street, intending to fill his stomach first.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that in this store, the two of them ran into a "Star Emperor" anchor who was out looking for food, and they were recognized on the spot.

"you know me?"

Chen Ba was very curious. He was not particularly well-known. How could it be such a coincidence that he could meet someone who knew him while eating pig's trotter rice.

"I met you offline once during last year's GAL Jiangning competition!"

This anchor was very arrogant. After recognizing Brother Ba, he decisively expressed that he wanted to treat him and asked if he could have an "outdoor" live broadcast so that Brother Ba could say hello to the viewers in his live broadcast room?

"Just drive it!"

As a live broadcaster, this is what he eats. Chen Ba doesn't mind appearing in other people's live broadcast rooms. After all, meeting him is a kind of fate.

[I ran into Brother Ba outdoors and showed off three bowls of pig's trotter rice! 】

After changing the title and notifying the fan group, the anchor, whose online name is Piyan Emperor, quickly started the outdoor live broadcast with his mobile phone.

After learning that an anchor met Brother Ba offline, thousands of viewers instantly flooded into the live broadcast room.

Everyone was talking about it, and they all asked the anchor to take advantage of Brother Ba to show off his pig trotters and kill Brother Ba alone to end the dark turmoil.

"Don't talk nonsense. What does the dark turmoil have to do with Brother Ba?"

Emperor Dermatitis smiled, then selected a few questions that the audience was curious about, and conducted a brief interview with Chen Ba.

"Can Star King be adapted into a TV series like "The Survivor Simulator"?"

Hearing this question, Chen Ba stopped the chopsticks in his hand, thought carefully and said: "There is a high probability that TV series and movies will not work. The investment cost is too high, and no company is willing to take this risk, but..."

"I can reveal the news that there is a high probability that "Star King" will have animation, and it will be available to everyone soon."

"Star Emperor" is really animated.

Tianba Studio is very influential in the animation industry. Thanks to the professional version of "God's Grace Continent" and personalized customization services, they maintain close communication with many animation companies.

Dude, it’s all buddies!

Since we are all buddies, and you toast me and I toast you a glass of friendship at the wine table, isn't it normal to get mixed up?

certainly!

To facilitate this, there is another prerequisite, which is that "Star Emperor" is adapted into an animation, with the sponsorship of many graphics card manufacturers behind it.

These graphics card manufacturers hope that "Star Emperor" will become a hit more than anyone else, and the more famous it is, the better. Therefore, they fully support the adaptation of the game into animation.

With the sponsorship of these graphics card manufacturers, the money problem is solved.

Since there is no shortage of money, and the popularity of the GAL League has also made the game "Star Emperor" very famous, then adapting the animation becomes a matter of course.

The person responsible for producing this animation is an old domestic 3D animation studio, which owns many classic masterpieces.

They also attach great importance to the animation "Star Emperor" and have invested a lot of energy and resources in it...

The animation takes the high-quality route.

The first season only has 24 episodes, and the production cost of a single episode exceeds 5 million yuan. For the animation industry, which is now being squeezed out of survival space by Shen En Animation and the cost of a single episode is getting lower and lower, this is already a rare "masterpiece".

The animation is expected to premiere in December.

Because Tianba Studio basically did not participate in animation production except for granting authorization and helping to contact sponsors, Chen Ba did not know the final quality of the work.

Most likely you won't be disappointed.

After all, the animation is really bad. If it damages the image of "Star Emperor", the most angry person may not be Tianba Studio or Chen Ba...

But a sponsor of the animation!
