Build a planet from scratch

Chapter 8: Initial Setup of the Player Interface

"The amount of work involved in scanning resources is so great that players must be involved."

"Then the interface for players should have features such as resource editing, shopping mall, and workshop. But these functions also need to be added or modified."

Xu Bing quickly wrote in his notebook.

"Player interface to add personal information, Yunkong ...... This is not needed. Just have it yourself. An urban development, what do you need space for? Giving players the opportunity to hide things?"

"Well ...... players can have their own personal repository instead."

"You can add the [Scan] function in resource editing to your profile ......"

As he wrote this, Xu Bing was momentarily stunned.

He had forgotten one thing - could the interface to the player be displayed in the real world as he was?

He put the problem aside for now and continued to refine the player interface settings. If he couldn't scan the player later, he'd have to work harder on his own.

"Scan function added to profile. [Municipal] is reserved, and players are also able to build some facilities. However, you have to set up an application to do so. Then the workshop's current [Plants] should be added, and there should be categories like [Animals] and [Minerals] to follow ......"

"Workshops, players don't seem to have to have. It's its own editorial platform. Then cancel ......."

"If a game is a game, then it must have its own kryptonite. But this is an urban city, and kryptonite cannot destroy the balance of the game, so you can refer to some of the little things in the game ......"

"Players have their own industry for follow-up development as well ......"

"......"

There were more than a dozen of them, and Xu Bing finally set out the initial set-up -

{[Personal Data], [Mall], [Personal Warehouse].

[Personal Data].

Name: Age: Gender: Height: ID number: Address: Marriage: Occupation: Cash: Fixed assets: [Scan]

[Mall].

Plants, animals, minerals, municipalities.

[Personal Storage]

Place one NPC in each urban section as a personal storage point.

This will give players the ability to store items. Likewise, you can also charge a fee for opening the warehouse.}

Xu Bing looked at the initial setup and felt that this should be the basic framework.

If the scanning function in a personal profile is something that players can take outside, then there are only two functions - scanning and uploading.

The items uploaded by the player will be presented in the background of his [Workshop], which will be reviewed, edited, priced, and then synchronized to the player interface of the [Mall].

As for the mall's catalog, currently except for [Plant] [Municipal], the rest of the category is his guess.

But it should be eighty-nine out of ten.

As for what will be added later, it depends on what ghosts the player scans in.

"Mom, look, it's dark."

At this time, the environment darkened abruptly. The childishly curious voice of the little girl on the other side also made Xu Bing's head lift up to look at the other side.

"Yeah, this is a tunnel."

"Tunnel, yeah. Is the tunnel dark?"

The little girl was now transformed into a million reasons why, safely held in her mother's arms, looking curiously out the window and asking questions.

At that moment, the environment brightened up again.

The little girl's big, innocent eyes met Xu Bing's. Xu Bing smiled slightly, and the little girl was dumbfounded.

Xu Bing smiled slightly, and after a few seconds of looking at Xu Bing, the little girl struggled to get up and hugged her mother's neck. But after a moment, she turned back and looked at Xu Bing.

When she saw that Xu Bing was also looking at her, she turned back again.

Xu Bing felt very amused, such is the nature of children.

He didn't tease the child anymore and continued to improve the player interface.

"Little brother, are you a game planner?"

Suddenly, a thick man's voice came from the side.

Xu Bing turned around and saw a middle-aged man who seemed to have gone out to use the restroom, looking at the notebook on his desk with a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry, I just took a look and saw that you seemed to be setting something up. So I took the liberty of asking a question."

Xu Bing shook his head slightly, "It's no big deal. You are?"

The man nodded and took a business card out of his pocket as he said, "I'm the team leader of a game company, my name is Zhang Lin. Here's my business card."

After saying that, Zhang Lin handed a business card to Xu Bing.

Xu Bing took a look at it--Zhantao Network Co.

Director Zhang Lin.

"Director Zhang, how are you?" Xu Bing was neither enthusiastic nor repulsive, smiling slightly.

He was designing the player interface, and it was fine for him to say that he was the game planner.

Of course, he wouldn't say he was the planner.

The title [dog-planning-blade-family], which is so horrible, he doesn't want to have it yet.

Zhang Lin then laughed and said, "You've just written a lot of pages, I wonder what kind of game you're working on? There's nothing to do now, so maybe we can explore it."

Discuss? Xu Bing went over the idea in his head a bit, smiled and said, "I'm designing an urban construction game."

"Oh? Simulation of a foster class? This game is rare. The game industry is in the doldrums right now, and there aren't many companies making games, but are there any selling points?" At this point, Zhang Lin apologized instead, "Oh sorry, professional habit. But can I ask what progress you've made?"

Xu Bing said, "There's nothing to say. Progress is still designing the game interface. But Brother Zhang, what kind of games do you mainly do on your side?"

Zhang Lin said, "We mainly do Xianxia and Xuanfang online games. After all, these two games are still very popular. Even in this bad market, the heat is still good ......".

The two of them chatted one sentence at a time like this.

Xu Bing also took this opportunity to understand the game's setting, structure, some logical direction, and so on.

This helped Xu Bing's understanding of the game deepen quite a bit.

As the hours passed, the train arrived in Southern Cloud Province, where most people got off and some got on. Xu Bing took the opportunity to walk around, and also took the time to scan for things to scan near the station.

After three minutes, the train started moving again.

Xu Bing also scanned 15 kinds of plants and buildings as well as railroad tracks, trains, platforms, and so on.

The railroad track, train, and station platform were automatically assembled together by the system, and they were called "trains".

Well, it was all in one.

Train] was grouped into [Transportation] under [Municipal].

Now, there are more categories.

There were quite a few plants, and they were all grouped into [Greenery and Ornamental Plants].

When I returned to my seat, I found that the couple opposite me and the middle-aged man had already left the station and were replaced by a couple of young men and women dressed casually.

Seeing these two couples, Xu Bing closed his eyes and took a nap with a face of MMP.

As time passed, except for eating and going to the bathroom to sleep, Xu Bing spent almost all his time in Pangu City planning how to design and plan the Le Fu District.

Although he had no money, it didn't prevent him from planning and designing the city layout first.

Along the way, he also harvested a lot of resources. But it was mostly plants.

After all, the scanning range was limited, so there was no way to scan far away.

This journey, to appreciate the scenery on the road, is also incomparably relaxing.

"By the way, in two lifetimes, this is the first time I've been in Tibet."

Xu Bing smiled bitterly. Traveling into Tibet, everyone wants to. But the economy and time didn't allow it.

But in this life, it was in this way to enter Tibet.
