Chapter 270 Online dating also requires a car and a house!
Li Qizhen succeeded as he wished.
But it's a pity that Brother Ba didn't give him a promotion or salary increase because of his meritorious performance. He just patted him on the shoulder and praised him for a good job.
what is this?
What he wants is not a pat on the shoulder to encourage him, but a promotion and a raise in salary!
Chen Ba was unaware of Li Qizhen's resentment. At this time, he was returning to the office with Li Qizhen's ideas to figure out how to determine the so-called "injury".
You have to hurry up!
As we all know, "Star Emperor 2" is a development project that is not short of money. In terms of financial resources alone, it may even be more generous than many 3A game projects.
Precisely because there are sufficient financial resources, support from all aspects is relatively in place, and it is a sequel, the development of this project is progressing very smoothly!
The result of the smooth progress is that the development cycle is naturally accelerated. The game, which was not originally available to players so quickly, is expected to be released around Christmas this year.
"It's troublesome..."
After looking at the calendar on his desk, Chen Ba suddenly frowned.
Li Qizhen's idea disrupted his original development plan and his established schedule.
If this "injury" determination mechanism is made and added to the game, the development cycle of "Star Emperor 2" will be delayed by at least a quarter.
This is a relatively optimistic statement!
In fact, given the complexity of this "injury" determination mechanism, it would be a bit of a stretch to figure it out in just one quarter.
You may not be able to do it in half a year.
Because when we discussed it, it was just talk on paper at best. When we actually put it into practice and started writing code around this core mechanism, many of the problems we encountered were unexpected.
He didn't feel it at first, but after calming down and thinking about it, Chen Ba had to admit that with Tianba Studio's current game development capabilities, it would be difficult to produce the effect he and Li Qizhen discussed.
Hope is quite slim!
Unless he is willing to spend a year or two polishing the game, the "injury" mechanism will definitely not be available for a while.
"One or two years is too long!"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ba decided to open the long-lost system interface to see if there was a solution.
If so, everyone would be happy!
If there is no suitable solution even for the Tiehanhan system, then this novel "injury" determination mechanism may only be launched as a follow-up DLC or major version update.
Fortunately!
Although the Tiehanhan system cannot speak, it has never failed Chen Ba's trust. No matter how difficult the task or problem is, it can always come up with a solution for him.
This time too.
The solution idea of Tiehanhan system is relatively simple and crude, and the code provided is not only in-game, but also includes a complete set of drivers for somatosensory peripheral devices.
“Zhoucao, great service!”
Chen Ba never expected that in addition to the code, the system would also include a hardware driver that could be deeply linked with the game.
Can this thing also write a driver?
Cow wow cow wow!
Chen Ba was so impressed that he never expected that in addition to writing code and optimizing games, the system could also write drivers for hardware.
anyway……
Can the driver written by the system really be used? Even if it can be used normally, how is the effect compared to the driver written by the manufacturer?
With curiosity, Chen Ba took this driver to Mirage Electronics headquarters and asked test engineers to check the reliability and stability of the driver.
"Mr. Chen, there is no problem with the driver!"
The engineer quickly gave an authoritative judgment that the driver was great and no problems were found during the test.
the most important is……
This driver seems to be more advanced and easier to use than the version they created themselves. The hardware was originally mediocre, but using this driver is like giving it a boost.
"Driven by chicken blood?"
"It can be said that the hardware after the driver is really easy to use, and the support and adaptability to specific games are also higher," the engineer explained.
The "specific game" he refers to is "Star Emperor 2".
This is normal. After all, this set of somatosensory gaming equipment developed by Mirage Electronics is itself an exclusive peripheral for "Star Emperor 2". It is reasonable to have a higher adaptability to the game.
However, with the same hardware configuration and different versions of drivers, the performance is obviously not at the same level.
To put it bluntly, this is like two mobile phones with similar hardware configurations. One is equipped with the IOS system and the other is installed with the Android system. The experience is completely different.
"I don't know much about hardware..."
Chen Ba frowned and said, "I just want to know one thing, that is, is this driver better to use than the one you wrote?"
"That's right!"
"Testing other games, there is actually not much difference between the two versions of the driver. But if it is the game "Star Emperor 2", then the driver you provided should be better!"
"You haven't tested it with "Star Emperor 2", how did you come to this conclusion?" Chen Ba asked curiously.
The games or software used by engineers to test are just some common motion sensing games on the market and internal testing software. Of course, "Star Emperor 2" also has it, but it's just a rather crude and crude demo.
Based on just one trial demo, how could this engineer conclude that there are huge differences between the two versions of the driver?
"The code is all written!"
The engineer couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Mr. Chen, didn't you bring this driver? Haven't you even read the code yourself?"
Chen Ba: "..."
Damn it, he forgot about this part!
The code written by Tiehanhan system, the content he saw was different from what others saw. Chen Ba knew this very early.
This is also the main reason why a large group of hackers are obsessed with cracking Tianba Studio's games and trying to decrypt the key codes, but they find nothing.
As the host, Chen Ba can see the real source code, but others can't!
No matter how others operate, they will only see the "disguised" code in the end. To be honest, it's amazing to be able to understand these codes. At least the technology must be passable.
The driver that this engineer saw was not the same as the driver that Chen Ba saw!
He may have been deceived by the "disguise" code, or he believed it to be true, thinking that the function of these codes was to optimize the hardware's suitability for the game "Star Emperor 2".
It does not matter!
After thinking about this, Chen Ba nodded and said, "Then do you think this set of somatosensory peripheral hardware exclusive to "Star Emperor 2" should be equipped with this version of the driver?"
"completely fine!"
Why not use it if there is a better option? This is the simplest idea of engineers.
He didn't understand why Mr. Chen hesitated? Isn't it obvious that the driver version he provided is more advanced and easier to use than the one produced by Mirage Electronics?
"You don't understand, this..."
"never mind!"
Chen Ba originally wanted to say that this driver came from a programmer who was not very "reliable". The game code he wrote had a lot of bugs. Who knows if the driver also has bugs?
But he thought for a moment and realized that the family scandal should not be made public. The fact that the system was acting like a monster was a family scandal after all, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Engineers can think whatever they like!
He didn't explain it anyway, leaving the driver directly to Mirage Electronics for testing and research, and then pre-installing it later when the game "Star Emperor 2" is released and supporting peripherals are also released.
Chen Ba doesn’t understand hardware!
He felt that even if there was a problem with the driver, he probably wouldn't be able to find it.
Since professionals and Mirage Electronics engineers say there is no problem, let’s just believe them for now and blame them when problems arise later.
…
Tianba community is very lively.
Some time ago, the news that a certain city's [Tianba Haoyuan] real estate project was in danger of being unfinished due to a mine explosion, and that many players of "The Survivor Simulator" were harmed, aroused heated discussion among players in the community.
Not long after, Brother Ba took action!
Chen Ba transformed into the light of righteousness and decided to seek justice for the players and prevent [Tianba Haoyuan] from ending. He has been working hard for this for a long time.
Now, the results are out!
After several twists and turns, the real estate developer who undertook the construction of the building finally bowed his head and promised to cap the building and hand over the property within six months, and pay each owner the deferred compensation due as stipulated in the contract.
Now players can rest assured!
Although I don’t know how Brother Ba solved this matter, it does not prevent everyone from praising Brother Ba on the forum and praising him for being a human being this time.
In fact, it’s not as complicated as everyone thinks!
Chen Ba often attended various activities and got to know some socialites and dignitaries in Jiangning and surrounding provinces and cities.
Through these personal connections, it is not difficult to find out the contact information of some key people, get in touch to communicate, and discuss a solution that satisfies everyone.
to be honest!
In the process of solving this matter, Chen Ba had nothing to lose except for his words. It's just that everyone is willing to give him a face, and the real estate developer doesn't want to go head-to-head with him.
There’s no point in being tough!
If real estate developers bully ordinary property owners, ordinary people will be fine. If you bully a celebrity like Chen Ba, who is on the rich list and the chairman of Jiangning's No. 1 private enterprise tax payer, let's forget it.
Do you understand what you are looking for?
For ordinary property owners, real estate developers are condescending and ignore their protests and appeals. But for owners of Chen Ba's level, they didn't want to offend him. They just said whatever they wanted, and they focused on being honest.
No way, this is reality!
If Chen Ba was unwilling to come forward, the [Tianba Haoyuan] project would probably be unfinished, but with Chen Ba coming forward, the other party would have to hold on until the house is delivered.
Don’t ask why, just ask: Chen Ba is a dog. He will fall out with you if he says he’s going to fall out with you. It’s so unnecessary to provoke him for no reason!
It’s just a real estate building on the left and right!
This real estate company has more than ten properties under construction at the same time. It is completely understandable to sacrifice one property to avoid being targeted by a difficult guy like Chen Ba.
Chen Ba did something that was not obligatory and did not benefit him or Tianba Studio.
Therefore, he has also received high praise from players. As soon as he opens the community, he is flooded with posts praising Brother Ba for his "righteousness".
Chen Ba’s reputation is gradually rising!
In addition, the second most popular topic discussed in the Tianba community is the blockbuster update of "Love Staff" that was just launched not long ago.
I originally planned to get along with everyone as a "love development" game, but what I got in exchange was backstabbing and alienation. Tianba Studio simply stopped pretending and went straight to a showdown with the players!
"Love Counseling Department" is a dating software, let's fall in love with you!
The major update of the new version has completely torn off the "love game" camouflage that "Love Counselor" wore before, and directly calls itself a "marriage and dating platform."
The players were also dumbfounded.
Although everyone uses this game as a dating app, to be honest, it was still pretending before. If others ask, you can use "playing games" to hide it.
It's okay now, I can't pretend anymore.
As long as players are still playing "Love Staff", all their ideas have been exposed. You just want to find a partner and make friends, and don't use "playing games" as a cover!
The transition from a love simulation game to a dating platform may seem like a big span, but in fact, for "Love Staff", it's nothing more than a change of title.
The changes that players really feel are not big, if I have to say...
The game identity becomes more real!
"Love Advisory" has implemented a real-name system in the game very early to prevent minors from playing the game.
But after this round of version updates, the game has a higher degree of real-name system, and you can even register information such as "face", "property", "vehicle" and "job" in the game.
broken!
Online dating also requires "having a car and a house"!
This is not a joke, but a real situation encountered by many players after the version update.
When there was no such information in the past, after matching with a like-minded relationship consultant, everyone could chat for a while to see if they were compatible.
Generally speaking, if you get along well, you will add your contact information to learn more.
The key to failure lies in this step!
No matter how they can talk, after breaking away from the game and coming into contact with reality, the so-called feelings between men and women can rarely be separated from the material foundation.
This is especially true in this era where romance is worthless and love begins in the garage.
Therefore, this round of version updates actually reduces everyone's burden and pressure. After all, after chatting for a long time before, we couldn't continue the conversation due to various reasons, which was a waste of emotions.
Now just take a look at each other's profile and chat if you think it's suitable. If it's not suitable to directly match the next one, just do it neatly and don't waste each other's time.
The only downside is probably...
In the past, in the game "Love Counselor", players were "equal". Only after the understanding was enhanced and entered into the real world, the gap could be distinguished.
But now, they are divided into three, six, and nine levels directly in the game. This feeling is undoubtedly uncomfortable for some players who are not in such good conditions.
But the discomfort only lasts for a moment.
After all, games are a reflection of reality. If you can't accept this, how can you live in reality? Maybe just commit suicide and restart?
and……
"Love Advisory" has the most awesome matching mechanism and has already considered this problem, so it doesn't mean that you can't meet a "beloved" if you have poor conditions.
Good conditions are not necessarily a good thing. At least the system will match you with a "love consultant" who may come with other purposes...
