What is the experience of becoming a vampire

Chapter 344: A Game Never Before (Part 1)

Xiang Kun’s decision to play games was not a decision made on a whim when he was in Tongshi Town a week ago.

He had already considered it earlier.

At the very beginning, he was relatively conservative in his research and exploration of his own mutations, and he didn't have any long-term plans. After all, he got too little information. Basically, he took one step at a time and didn't have a big deal. The need for funds, survival and self-protection are the first considerations.

But after encountering multiple mutant creatures, especially knowing that "Shenxing Technology" is paying attention to the mutant creatures, and there may be a "vampire" behind him, he has a stronger sense of urgency and begins to have more Ideas, and these ideas require a lot of funding to support.

Xiang Kun has many plans on how to make money.

With his current ability, in fact, no matter what he does, given him a certain amount of time, he can achieve certain achievements and make a lot of money.

But he still has to consider factors such as the time spent, the energy occupied, whether he will expose his uniqueness, and whether he can have sustained income.

After comprehensive consideration, the best way to "realize ability" is through Alice.

Of course, Alice is not released directly-although doing so will definitely detonate the media and get a lot of money.But the excessive attention he brought was something he wanted to avoid, not to mention that he always felt that Alice has far more and stronger development space than it has shown now, and there are still many possibilities that have not been exploited.These "possibility" may become his biggest hole card in the face of crisis in the future, or one of the keys to unlock the causes of mutation.

There are many other ways to cash out with "Alice".

After Xiang Kun's consideration, it is the most efficient way for Alice to integrate existing functions and make a game at his request.

Since the birth of "Alice", under Xiang Kun's guidance, she has developed many functions, and these functions can be separated to a certain extent and realized separately from Alice.

It is too slow and inefficient to promote and sell these "functions" and show them to the public or investors one by one.

What's more, those functions, taken out and looked at separately, have not opened a very obvious gap with the existing and existing related application functions, and there is no way to make people directly shine and crush other competitors.

Therefore, in Xiang Kun’s view, this game has to show two main points, one is its own playability, can attract users, retain users, form word-of-mouth, and bring profits; the other is to show that he wants to show The function of this allows the public and investors to notice and experience these stronger functions and know where they are strong.

In the end, Xiang Kun's idea was to make a game with sound as the carrier.

"Alice" has made a basic game framework, and in accordance with Xiang Kun's requirements, "learned" dozens of classic martial arts novels on the Internet, and integrated the plots of them for free matching.

Originally, Xiang Kun intended to do something more complete, with more functions, and to better reflect the core gameplay, and then ask Tang Baona, Yang Zhener, Lao Xia, Zhang Qian, Chang Bin, Zicheng, and Yang Zhuo to do it together Internal testing, and then discuss the details of investment and follow-up detailed R&D and promotion.

But after hearing what Tang Baona said today and knowing that she was going to change jobs, Xiang Kun changed her mind and directly asked them to try it out tonight.

He wanted to give Tang Baona one more choice.

After operating the mobile phones of four people with Lao Xia's computer for a while, Xiang Kun returned the phones to them and returned to the living room together.

"What then? How to play?" Yang Zhener couldn't wait to open the game and asked. The interface after entering is very simple, a few buttons look more like a music player, there is no text logo, no character image , People do not know how to start.

"Wait a minute, let me introduce this game to you first."

Standing in the middle of the living room with a mobile phone, Xiang Kun said to Yang Zhen'er, Tang Baona and Lao Xia on the sofa:

"The carrier of this game is only sound. It will arrange a story by itself according to the style you choose and the settings of your own characters, and then use the voice engine to tell the story.

"You will participate in the process of the story. When it comes to your characters, you can decide the direction of the story through your own choices. You can directly talk to the characters in the story or other players. These Dialogue will also determine the development of the story."

The three people on the sofa were all wide-eyed and curiously listening to his introduction. Upon hearing this, Tang Baona couldn't help but raised her hand and asked, "Is it the same as'radio drama'?"

"Yes, the form is almost what it means, but you are all participants in it," Xiang Kun said.

Yang Zhener asked: "It means...the game will give a script, and then we will'act' according to the script?"

Xiang Kun said: "No, there is no fixed script. The background and pre-plot of the story will be told to you, but the next development is up to you."

Yang Zhener immediately said: "I understand, just like that domestic game, "Invisible Guardian", at a stage, you can choose several behaviors, and then different choices will trigger different plots."

"No, it's still different." Xiang Kun smiled: "The kind of interactive narrative game you mentioned has already arranged many routes and plots, and then proceeded according to your different choices. Their follow-up path, It’s been fixed a long time ago. You just choose the intersection. But my game is different. It lets you decide how to fix the road behind. Before you make a specific choice, I, the producer, don’t know how the follow-up will develop. ."

Hearing this, Xia Libing frowned and said: "You mean, when the game progresses to a certain place, it will rearrange the following plot according to our choice?"

"Probably that's what it means." Xiang Kun nodded and said: "Play a game first, and you will know it. For the time being, there is only one type of story about overhead martial arts, so you can only choose a persona that fits this background. Uh, but it needs to be. Just to remind you, for the time being, the built-in voices in the game are only those of Nana and me, so for the time being, you can only choose these two voices..."

According to Xiang Kun's request, Tang Baona and Yang Zhener both took out their mobile phone headsets from their bags and put them on, and then one stayed in the living room and the other sat in the dining room to prevent the sound from interfering with each other. Xia Libing also went to find her And gave Xiang Kun a headset for the computer.

However, Xiang Kun said that the three of them could use headphones, he didn't use them. He didn't participate in the first game, but assisted them in the first game.

"You will experience a story that took place in the martial arts world. Next, please set up your role to participate in the story. Please speak your name to the character into a microphone or other sound recording device within ten seconds, and group Words, and then end with'OK'. For example:'Li Hong, Li in luggage, red in red, OK'."

Listening to her own voice in the earphones, Tang Baona felt a little weird and a little funny. The reading engine made with her voice that Xiang Kun gave her before, she also occasionally used it later, it was really fun. .

Following the operation method Xiang Kun said before, she chose another sound source on the simple interface of the game. This time it was Xiang Kun’s voice: "Please state the name of the character and end with'OK'."

After thinking about it for ten seconds, Tang Baona said, "Tang Ying, Tang of the Tang Dynasty, heroic Ying, sure."

Next, according to the voice prompt, Tang Baona set up multiple character conditions. When she finally set it up, she got the prompt "A total of three players have participated, two of them have finished entering information, and another is being entered. Please wait a moment. "At that time, nearly half an hour had passed without knowing it, but Tang Baona didn't think it was too time-consuming at all. On the contrary, she was very interested and expected. She was very curious about what kind of experience this voice game would be like. .

The tone of this prompt sound is too real, and it feels like Xiang Kun is really talking to her.Of course, because she has a lot of daily contact with Xiang Kun and is familiar with Xiang Kun’s voice and rhythm, she can still detect some differences, but this smooth feeling is already quite realistic, which also makes her feel about this game. More expectations.

After more than five minutes, finally the three "players" have completed the entry, and a prompt tone came from the headset: "The first stage script is being generated, please wait."

This time, the waiting time was much faster than she had imagined. In less than 30 seconds, the prompt sounded: "Tang Ying Woman, your adventure will begin in ten seconds, please be prepared."

Ten seconds later, a whirring wind sounded in the earphones, and then a background sound that slowed down significantly, as if with a heavy tone and a sense of vicissitudes:

"You dragged your scarred body through the desert, with dry mouth, weak body, stumble, blurred vision, and the possibility of falling at any time, only relying on willpower to barely support.

"Last night, you failed to assassinate the leader of the bloodstainer Xia Libing in an inn, and you were injured by her and her men. You only managed to escape with a hidden weapon to collapse the sky. Although you took all the horses in the inn when you fled They are all let go, and they can’t catch up for the time being. But you know, the big demon Xia Libing will definitely not let you go. At this time, he must be in the back, chasing after him. Before the next sandstorm comes and hides the traces , The blood hand gang who is very good at tracking, it is difficult to get rid of.

"Your horse has been exhausted to death, because it ran away in a hurry and did not bring water, plus the increasing injuries on his body, it can be said to be on the brink of desperation..."

Tang Baona widened her eyes and listened to the "story" told by the background sound. When she heard "Bloodhand Helper Xia Libing", she couldn't help being a little funny. Didn't expect Lao Xia to be the "villain"?And the real name used directly for the character?

But she was a little curious. The tone and way the voice was telling the story seemed to be told to her alone?Then Lao Xia and Yang Zhen'er heard these words, right?Could this story be carried out simultaneously from different perspectives?
