Chapter 202 The client has also evolved?

Regarding the issue of underage, Chen Ba has actually noticed it for a long time.

Tianba Studio is different from other game manufacturers. Their games are mainly PC-based single-player games. Although underage players in PC games are rare, they are not absent.

But compared with the proliferation of underage players in mobile games, the situation is slightly better.

Minors can play games!

However, underage players will face the monitoring and control of the anti-addiction system, and some children find ways to circumvent this restriction and escape the control and monitoring of game manufacturers.

How to get around it?

There are many ways. As long as your thinking is not slippery, there are always more ways than difficulties. Never underestimate the level of ghosts in any child.

A 70-year-old woman was killing people in the canyon at three o'clock in the morning, and a 90-year-old man was pressing the AK steadily and accurately... These cases all show that there are still loopholes in the existing real-name system.

Tianba Games is no exception.

Chen Ba has always turned a blind eye to this situation. As long as it doesn't go too far or is too outrageous, he basically won't care.

no way!

You can't control it even if you want to. After all, even the real-name system has been bypassed. Unless there is some facial recognition and random checks, it is impossible to prevent it.

But the appearance of underage players in the game "Love Staff" still surprised him.

This is no ordinary game...

An ordinary game can be played with a few underage elementary school students and junior high school students, but the special nature of "Love Staff" determines that this game cannot be played randomly.

You haven't graduated from junior high school yet, and you haven't reached the legal age for marriage yet. What do you want to do by playing "Love Staff"? Is this a game you can play?

"Then what do you mean..."

"Kill them all!"

Chen Ba said without hesitation: "As long as they are underage, I will reject them all. The good reputation of "Love Staff" cannot be ruined by this."

Again.

In other games, Chen Ba could turn a blind eye and pretend he didn't see it.

But the game "Love Staff" is really not good. It involves more serious problems. A slight mistake will cause Tianba Studio to fall into a storm of public opinion.

""Love Advisory" is not an ordinary game, but an image project of our Tianba Studio!"

"Higher authorities, including various media, are also paying close attention to this game. When I went to the capital for a meeting, I was named and praised by several leaders..."

Having said this, Chen Ba sighed and said, "So you understand why we have to kill all the underage players, right?"

"I guess I understand!"

Zhong Shengwei was not stupid. Hearing what Brother Ba said, he immediately realized that this matter was indeed quite serious.

"Love Staff" represents the recognition of superior authorities, the praise of many leaders, and the rave reviews from society.

Why?

Because this game has made a great contribution to changing the contemporary young people's views on marriage and love, and saving the birth rate and the number of first marriages.

If a scandal suddenly breaks out at this time that the game is linked to terms such as minors and puppy love, it will not only be a slap in the face of Brother Ba, but also a slap in the face of many leaders and superior authorities.

That is much more serious than the accusation that children are addicted to games, leading to a decline in academic performance.

There is no room for error in image engineering!

Chen Ba told Zhong Shengwei that the "Love Advisory" operation team should strengthen monitoring and control in this area and beware of minors taking advantage of loopholes.

to be honest!

The game can be cool, no one can play it, or it can disappear, but it must be kept clean and tidy and free of stains and scandals.

"That's right!"

"Even if this game is out of date and no one plays it anymore, our contributions and achievements are still there, and our leaders recognize them."

Chen Ba smiled bitterly and said: "But if some scandal breaks out, involving minors, and public opinion changes, then the merits and demerits will be equal to each other, and it will be nothing."

Trivia!

Since the release of "Love Staff", Tianba Studio has been very smooth in getting the game reviewed and obtaining the version number, and the approval speed is also very fast.

Even when other friendly companies were stuck with version numbers, Tianba Studio was never targeted and the game was released as it was supposed to be without any impact.

Don't ask, the question is that the game "Love Staff" has brought too many hidden benefits and conveniences to Tianba Studio.

In the minds of players, Ba Ge's several games have their own merits and preferences, and everyone likes different games.

In Chen Ba's eyes, "God's Grace Continent" is the most profitable game he has ever made, and it is also the game with the highest return rate...

But in the eyes of the authorities, other games are garbage, and AAA masterpieces and sales champions are not worth mentioning. Only games like "Love Staff" are games that contribute to society and are full of positive energy.

Do you understand that Yang Ma will praise you by name and help promote the value of Amway?

"Minors and dogs are prohibited!"

Chen Ba said solemnly: ""Love Staff" needs to implement this concept, guard against the slightest, and not leave any clues to others."

It is difficult to create a golden body, but it is easy to destroy it.

He didn't want to be scrolling through the news one day and suddenly see reports about minors being addicted to online dating and picking up girls on the "Love Staff".

That's terrible!

…

During the Lunar New Year in previous years, Tianba Studio would record a New Year greeting series video to wish everyone a happy New Year.

This year is no different.

However, this year's New Year greeting video, in addition to summarizing the achievements and joy of the past year and congratulating the New Year with Brother Ba, also has a brand new link.

This link is more like a preview of Spring Festival events than a video Easter egg.

"We will prepare a series of mysterious clues for you in games such as "Star King", "Don't Leave After School", "Speed", "Global Evolution" and other games."

"The five players who are the first to collect all the clues and guess the answer based on the clues will receive a 1 million yuan koi gift..."

Blanch!

As soon as the event announcement came out, almost all players went crazy and quickly logged into the game to look for the so-called mysterious clues.

That's one million...

Although everyone on the Internet will give glowing reviews, saying that Bentleys are not as good as villas and flat floors, etc., everyone seems to be very rich.

But if you really ask everyone to spend one million in cash, it will probably stump 99.9% of people!

Therefore, this reward can definitely be regarded as sincere, and Brother Ba did not play any tricks and directly promised a million-dollar prize "after tax".

"Five million dollars for a hot search, no loss at all!"

Huang Qing commented: “And our hemorrhage this time has also boosted the sales and online numbers of these games in disguise.”

It's like an advertisement.

It seems like a loss, but in fact, through the advertising effect, the increase in game sales driven by the advertising effect will definitely make it back, and by the way, the number of people online will also increase.

Take "Don't Leave After School" as an example.

Since the announcement of the Spring Festival activity plan, the sensational effect caused by the million-dollar prize has directly caused the number of people online at the same time in the game to break through the 1 million mark.

Please note, online at the same time!

Millions of people online at the same time may have been nothing a few years ago. After all, at that time, there were too many online games with millions of people online.

Like Xuan Wu, Speedy Car, CF, Dungeon, League of Legends... Which one is not completely popular?

But in today's era when client games are declining and there has not been a phenomenal client game for many years, it is terrifying to have millions of people online at the same time.

"The new king of PC games!"

Many people in the industry have also noticed the terrifying online number of people in "Don't Leave After School" and concluded that this is a phenomenal new game that can compete with CF, DNF and LOL.

In addition to "Don't Leave After School", other games also performed well during the event.

"Global Evolution" is growing the fastest!

Perhaps due to the dual benefits of the million-dollar prize and the human-machine battle, the game's recent popularity across the Internet is comparable to that of "Black Myth: Wukong" back then.

Nine of the ten new posts in the Tianba community are discussing the latest situation of the man-machine war.

Even on New Year's Eve, there are still more than 200,000 players fighting on the front line of the man-machine battle, resisting the attacks and sneak attacks of NPCs.

Chen Ba also paid attention.

This battle was very tense. Although there were many players, there were too few strong ones, and their evolution speed was not as fast as that of NPCs.

So at the beginning, the players took advantage of the number of people and dealt a huge blow to the NPC camp, which allowed them to regain some face.

But soon, the gap in strength between the NPCs and the players widened, and the number slowly caught up, making it too much for the players.

"Players are people, not machines."

Xiao Lu explained: "Since you are a human being, you have to worry about eating and sleeping. You cannot spend 24 hours a day in the game fighting NPCs."

This is the player's biggest weakness.

On the contrary, NPCs do not need to take breaks to eat and go to the bathroom. As long as the server is not under maintenance, they can always stay in the game.

This is also the main reason why since the war broke out between players and NPCs, the two sides are still going back and forth and cannot tell the winner.

Otherwise, hundreds of thousands of players will be killed by ants, and every player can be resurrected infinitely, and the hard cost will be enough to kill these NPCs.

"The good news is that as the human-machine war gradually comes out of the game, more and more players are beginning to join this battle to defend the dignity of players and rebuild their glory."

"The bad news is..."

Xiao Lu shook his head and said: "As time goes by, players' patience will continue to be worn away, and the gap in strength will become wider and wider."

Anyone with a discerning eye knows this.

This human-machine war will most likely end with a complete victory for the NPC. The players' current resistance is nothing more than a desperate struggle.

"Will the NPC win?"

Chen Ba agreed with this conjecture. Judging from the current trend, players cannot defeat NPCs, and it is expected that they will be defeated.

But he was very curious, if the NPC really won this battle and completely turned over and trampled the players under their feet, what would the game "Global Evolution" look like?

"I have no idea……"

Xiao Lu shook his head.

What "Global Evolution" has become now is beyond his expectation. Who knows what will happen after the NPC wins?

It won’t kill all the players, right? That's not realistic. Players can be resurrected infinitely, and the killing will definitely be endless.

It can only be said that if these NPCs really succeed in their rebellion, the game environment will inevitably change, and the status of the players will be greatly reduced by then.

"Will NPCs still bully players?"

Yang Dong, who was holding Spring Festival couplets and preparing to stick them at the door of the studio, couldn't help but complain after hearing this: "Are you kidding me? Even if the NPC wins this battle, the game should be played as it should be!"

"not like this……"

Chen Ba shook his head and said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Have you forgotten that these NPCs have already possessed good intelligence after breaking through the limitations of evolution?"

However, these extremely intelligent NPCs will inevitably retaliate or even punish the players after completely overthrowing them.

Don't think it's impossible.

These NPC templates are all from the same model in "God's Grace Continent". With the ability of the NPCs in "God's Grace Continent" to deduce the plot, there is a high probability that this kind of thing will happen.

"The dragon slayer will eventually become the evil dragon!"

"At that time, if the NPC goes too far, the players will inevitably start a second human-machine war..."

Therefore, the main gameplay of this game in the future is probably the cyclical replacement of players and NPCs competing for the right to speak and take the initiative in the game.

This time the NPC won, but next time it may be the player.

As long as these two parties are not exterminated, the human-machine war will never disappear, but will only become more intense, and even become the main theme and core gameplay of the game.

"Is that what it is?"

Yang Dong raised his eyebrows and said: "But I have a question. NPCs cannot be resurrected, and their number will only decrease with each fight. Why are you so sure that the players cannot win?"

"Well..."

Chen Ba coughed, and under Yang Dong's curious eyes, he slowly explained: "We all underestimated the consequences of infinite evolution."

At this stage, some NPCs have evolved to level 20 and have undergone 20 transformations and evolutions.

As the evolution level increases, these NPCs are also undergoing unexpected changes. Especially in terms of abilities, each one is weirder and more difficult than the last.

Especially after evolving to level 20, these NPCs can be resurrected just like players...

"ah?"

"To be precise, it is not the kind of player's resurrection on the spot, but similar to the blood rebirth in fantasy novels."

Seeing that Yang Dong was a little surprised, Chen Ba quickly explained: "This means that as NPCs continue to evolve, it will be very difficult to completely eliminate them."

This is only level 20!

Level 20 NPCs have already mastered the miraculous skill of blood rebirth, but what about levels 30 and 40?

If he continues to allow these NPCs to evolve, Chen Ba really doesn't dare to think about what the future will be like, nor can he imagine how powerful these NPCs really are...

It was precisely because the NPC's awakened abilities became more and more abnormal as the number of evolutions increased, that's why he and Xiao Lu felt that the player camp had a slim chance of winning.

"So outrageous?"

Yang Dong was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that NPCs could be so terrifying.

broken!

Infinite evolution is really a wrong decision. If it continues like this, this game will not develop into a masochistic game where you can only get beaten for cheating, right?

"Compared to this..."

"Have you not noticed that our game client seems to be getting more and more bloated?" Chen Ba pointed out a key point.

Infinite evolution of NPCs is a trivial matter.

But why are the game client files evolving and expanding? It soared from 140G to 190G and immediately exceeded 200G.

Chen Ba swears to God that during this period, Tianba Studio really did nothing. Even if there is an update midway, it only replaces about 7.3G of game files...

If a player hadn't posted a complaint in the community about Brother Ba's ineffective updates and the solid-state drive was no longer enough, he wouldn't even have discovered this problem.

When he checked, he was shocked to find that in just 10 days, the game client file had naturally expanded by about 20G, an average of 2G a day.

Where did this file come from?

Today is a double happiness. My cousin is getting married and grandma’s birthday is on the lunar calendar. I went to celebrate her birthday in the evening, so it’s 4K!
