Chapter 312 Who Says Cubes Mean Simple?

Lin You wandered around in Xia Yi's live broadcast room, watching it for a while.

But when Xia Yi started chatting with his water friends, he felt drowsy and fell asleep again.

He also missed the scene where Xia Yi talked more and more distracted and expressed her sincere gratitude to Lin You.

——Of course, it doesn't matter if he missed it, but Xiaomeng didn't miss it, they were all recorded.

Xiaomeng never misses any scenes that can embarrass Lin You.

When Lin You woke up completely, stretched his waist and climbed out of bed, and started to eat after washing, Xiao Meng showed him the current hot search list with a happy look.

So Lin You saw that on the hot search list at this time, a very dramatic entry appeared - "No Mirage 2.0".

It is in contrast to yesterday morning's "Mirage 2.0 is coming soon".

Just one day apart, two completely opposite trending searches.

Lin You, like Xiao Meng, laughed so hard that he fell down.

After eating and drinking, he asked in the company group if there was anything he needed to come forward.

After confirming that nothing was wrong, he privately chatted with Qin Songyun about coming home after get off work, then absented himself from work again, and went directly to the underground prevention and control laboratory to start making the game warehouse.

Qin Songyun put down the phone in a daze.

But the boss ordered, so I can only go.

After washing the dishes and tidying up the house, Qin Songyun took Xiaochun for a walk while the weather was not too hot.

After returning, he handed Xiaochun a glass of water, watched her drink some, then took out a towel to wipe the thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

Then he put on the headband and logged into the virtual office with Xiaochun.

Recently, Xiaochun's desire to work overtime has been on the rise, so he has to take strict precautions.

As soon as it was time to get off work, I ran to find Xiao Chun and urged her to get off work, so as not to disrupt the fixed rhythm of life.

This also led to another increase in his work efficiency.

Today is no exception. As soon as Qin Songyun logged in, he started working intensively.

The "League of Assassins" event announcement and participation rules will be released today.

*

At the same time, Xiaochun also came to his team and began to lead the team to make a new game "Cube World".

——This is just a tentative name, the final name of the new game. They are still discussing intensely, and there is no progress yet.

And in order to prevent the code name from getting more and more fluent, so that it becomes the final name after getting used to it, I also deliberately chose "Cube World", which everyone hates.

As for why everyone hates it?

Of course, it is because they have been working hard to make this world piled up with cubes look less "square" at the beginning of production.

Naturally, I was not very confident at first.

Especially when they saw Lin You's operation and re-stacked the ancient buildings with cubes, they couldn't help worrying about the obviously "rough" appearance.

But Lin You told them quite confidently:

"Building blocks doesn't mean they must be simple."

Any player who has enough understanding of "My World" is very clear:

As long as you have a powerful enough graphics card and don't mind smelling the aroma of the graphics card, then you must have heard of one thing -

Texture pack!

As we all know, in the game "Minecraft", there are all types of players.

There are such a group of people who are keen to continuously upgrade the picture quality of this pixel game!

And this kind of upgrade has no intention of stopping at all:

From the most original "16X", which is a square of 16*16*16 pixels, all the way to upgrade to "32X", "64X", "128X"... "1024X", "2048X"...

Even - "4096X" top pixel texture pack!

At this time, the material package, with carefully adjusted light effects, is almost indistinguishable from the appearance and texture of real-world objects!

This type of material display video often refreshes the three views of players and achieves a very high playback volume.

Of course, the price is high.

Every upgrade of the pixel material represents a leap in the performance requirements of the machine, and at the end, it is a leap in geometric progression.

This may also be the biggest limiting factor for them to upgrade the picture quality.

If you see a bullet screen like "burning up" in this type of video, it is likely not just to express your admiration for the technology, but also to describe the status of your own graphics card...

And with the help of the fuzzy computing technology in the virtual world, they can directly upgrade the material to the extreme!

Real buildings like a metropolis, a highly enriched environment with various tasks and items, can run the game without any pressure within a huge range of one kilometer in diameter around the player.

It can be seen that Mirage is strong in technology and performance!

... well, mostly technical.

Good technology means you can do whatever you want.

As long as the team led by Xiaochun can optimize the material of each block material, so that they look beautiful and harmonious.

And when these blocks are combined, the appearance should not be too inconsistent.

In this way, when optimizing the edge of the block and the junction of the block, the work can be done much easier.

If all the steps are correct, then when the final game product appears, it will definitely be able to make an extremely real and beautiful creation!

It is even possible to pile up a metropolis that is 80% or 90% similar by hand.

Of course, there may be many materials, and a variety of different appearance textures need to be designed, so that some "theme" changes can be made according to the content of the player's construction.

For example, the same granite used to build a "primitive cottage" and a "modern home" should obviously show different texture details.

But this is not a problem for Xiaochun's team.

In this development team, the first batch of employees are all art backgrounds. They are good at beautification and design. At this time, everyone is full of energy.

In addition to these, the design of other systems and gameplay, with Lin You's relatively clear planning and explanation, is not difficult to implement, and the progress is very smooth.

The real challenge is to design different gameplay modules after completing the game itself.

At that time, fighting, exploring, breaking through levels, bosses, and game mechanics will make them feel full of unknowns and challenges.

In this way, time passed slowly in the busy work.

*

At six o'clock in the evening, Qin Songyun brought Xiao Chun to Lin You's residence in a little confusion.

Lin You didn't go upstairs to pick up the host, but took the two of them down the air defense laboratory and showed them the game pod.

In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding by looking like a coffin, Lin You specially made a pure white shell.

Listening to Lin You's detailed narration, Qin Songyun gradually understood the function of this device, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

After Lin You said that the equipment has gone through a complete acceptance process and the effect is fully in line with expectations, Qin Songyun immediately made a request: "Can I try it?"

"Uh." Lin You was a little different, but he quickly understood his concern for Xiaochun, and nodded in agreement.

"However, let me explain in advance that you probably won't feel very strong. This is originally a technique to maintain the state of the muscles, not to strengthen them."

Qin Songyun didn't care at all, took off his shoes decisively, and lay down in Xiaochun's worried expression, intending to have a short 15-minute experience.

"Activate." Lin You said.

At the end of the game room, a screen lit up, and a series of data such as Qin Songyun's Yunmeng account, identity ID, and physical status monitoring began to appear.

Both Lin You and Xiao Chun moved closer to look at the data above.

Xiaochun stared at it intently.

Lin You just glanced at it, and after confirming that there was no problem, he ran to the side to move a chair for Xiaochun.

Seeing Xiao Chun staring nervously at Qin Songyun in the game room after sitting down, Lin You was also happy to relax, took out his mobile phone and chatted with Xiao Meng.

Otherwise, apart from work, he couldn't find anything else to talk to Xiaochun about.

But chatting about work after work is obviously not something Lin You likes.

It's still interesting to chat with Xiaomeng!

It's just that what Xiaomeng brought to him this time to amuse him was a bit beyond his expectation——

"The behavior of animals in "Paradise" is seriously inconsistent with reality, and it is very easy to mislead minors, causing children to be accidentally bitten. We call on relevant departments to intervene as soon as possible!

He also advised Yunmeng to correct the mistakes as soon as possible and log off the game to avoid serious consequences. "

"?"

Lin You looked at the name of this account in confusion: [Chai Fang].

Looking at the introduction, it seems that this is still a network host who advertises himself as a "public intellectual"?

Xiaomeng carefully sorted out more detailed information for Lin You, as well as her most famous shows.

Some called for environmental protection, some called for human rights, and some discussed women's rights.

And judging from the timeline, it seems that she has been following social hotspots, freely changing her identity and position.

Although the shows she does often cause great controversy, she can always create great enthusiasm.

Although this led to her getting worse and worse reputation among netizens, she even lost her job in the TV station.

But after she left the TV station, joined a new Internet company, and started doing online programs, she became more at ease, and her remarks became more outrageous and unscrupulous.

Just as Lin You was reading her profile, a new post was released:

"Lin You was able to stand up and criticize NetDragon when he was still an unknown person, so he should be able to accept criticism and suggestions from netizens with an open mind.

Otherwise, does it appear that there are too many double standards? "

"???"

There are more question marks on Lin You's head.

What do you mean?

Before I even spoke, you started to run on me, saying that I can't accept criticism?

Although I really don't want to accept it... But haven't I opened my mouth yet?

Besides, you are not a popular science worker, are you?

Xiaomeng saw Lin You's confusion—there were cameras everywhere in the laboratory, and opened the first dynamic comment area for Lin You:

"ill?"

"It makes sense, why don't you make a better one?"

"This is a show that no one is watching, so you ran out to gain popularity again?"

"Please don't make trouble, please? I took my child today and got to know animals in the virtual playground. I think Yunmeng has done a very good job."

"Have you found a new hot spot where you can touch porcelain?"

"When will you care about truly valuable social issues?"

... There was a lot of scolding.

The scolding here is not all Lin You's fans or Yunmeng's gamers.

In fact, with Chai Fang's current reputation, no matter what she posts, a large number of dissatisfied netizens will scold her.

It's just that this time because the targets were Lin You and Yun Meng, more people scolded them.

Amidst such scolding and questioning, only a few netizens expressed their approval:

"It's not unreasonable."

"The appearance of animals is so similar, but the behavior habits are not in line with it. It is indeed easy for children to misunderstand?"

"That's right, if you encounter a wild beast in the wild, you may not even know how to avoid it, how dangerous it is!"

...

These approvals also made Lin You feel a little overwhelmed——

No, there are so many children in Daxia, and they all live in a dangerous environment where they may encounter large carnivores at any time and be attacked and killed every day? ?

There are so many children, is there a need to study the real behavior and habits of animals?

If it is really necessary, why not go to the library or class, but learn in the game?

I'm a game developer, not a science popularizer!

Also, Miss [Chai Fang], you are more or less a media person, are you really not afraid of my bad reputation at all?

Sorry for the late update of the second chapter.

Originally finished writing, but I feel that the writing is wrong, so I have to delete it and make a major revision.

Sort out my thoughts, I will update it later, sorry.
