Wealthy after rebirth

169 Threshold
"Setting the threshold naturally has a reason to set the threshold."

Shi Yining explained with a smile: "The reason is very simple, I don't want to be scolded by the parents of countless children..."

"I don't know whether games will ruin a child's future, but it is certain that they often play games and have no time to study. Obtaining a smartphone is not difficult at all for junior high school students or even elementary school students!"

"I will develop a version compatible with XBOX and PS platforms, but not a mobile version!"

Huang Jiayan made a helpless expression, and said: "Okay, you are the boss, but I just think that the mobile phone market will be bigger in the future, and it would be a pity to give it up!"

Shi Yining looked at Huang Jiayan with a puzzled face, and said, "Who is going to give up the mobile phone?" The speed of changing his face was faster than turning the pages of a book.

Huang Jiayan was confused by Shi Yining's question. She pointed at Shi Yining with a strange expression on her face and said, "No... wasn't that what you just said?"

"Confused." Shi Yining cursed with a smile, and continued: "When did I say that I would give up the mobile terminal? I just said, I don't know how to develop the mobile terminal version, but have I prevented others from developing the mobile terminal?"

"What do you mean?" Huang Jiayan asked blankly, unable to keep up with Shi Yining's thinking.

"After the game is released, if the market responds enthusiastically, then there will definitely be manufacturers who will stand up to develop the mobile version. At that time, the market will be chaotic and mixed, and at that time we can sell the copyright to the big manufacturer with the highest price!"

Shi Yining said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be nice to give up some of the money-making opportunities to others to achieve a win-win situation for the collective, reduce the burden on our own enterprises, and create more jobs?"

After listening to Shi Yining's words, Huang Jiayan was stunned for a while, and finally understood the meaning of the words.

The summary is: money, I will make it.Scold, you suffer...

Seeing the change of expression on Huang Jiayan's face, Shi Yining knew that she understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Why, do you think I am sanctimonious and hypocritical at the same time?"

Huang Jiayan's face turned red when she heard Shi Yining's words. She really thought it meant something like that, but how dare she say it...

"It feels understandable, ho ho."

Shi Yining shook his head and explained: "I have my bottom line. I don't want children to be addicted to games, but this is just my hope. I am not their parent, nor the leader of the relevant department!"

"All I can do is take care of myself, that is, Kraken will not develop games that are easily accessible to children, but I don't have the ability to take care of other people, so if others want to develop mobile versions, I have no choice."

"At the same time, I'm still a businessman. A businessman seeks profit and should not talk about friendship. I want to stick to the bottom line, but at the same time I want to make money. Because even if I don't make money, things will still happen, and the situation will be even worse!"

Huang Jiayan doesn't know the situation of Survival in the Wasteland, but Shi Yining knows it well. Even if the popularity is only half as hot as Survival in the Wasteland in the previous life, it is enough to attract the attention of many game manufacturers.

At that time, pirated mobile games will spring up in the market, and copyright is a good weapon, which can make the market relatively more regulated!

If the game manufacturer that purchased the copyright is strong enough, it can even turn the tide and clear up the chaos in the entire market.

Generally speaking, it is much better to sell copyrights and let other powerful manufacturers develop mobile phones than to work hard to develop them yourself, and then re-open a series of departments to operate them!

Save trouble, effort, worry, and scolding.

Huang Jiayan nodded seriously. She felt that it was really tiring to think so much, and it would be easier to do game testing and secretary work.

"By the way, I ran the game today and found a problem. Do you have time to listen to it now?"

After talking about the game platform, Huang Jiayan talked about her job.

Shi Yining nodded, motioning for Huang Jiayan to speak.

"According to my understanding, the distribution of materials should be random after landing, but I found grenades all over the building in the upper left corner of the map."

"Later, I ran it again a few times. The building complex in the upper left corner was either full of smoke bombs or Level [-] A. In short, they were all the same thing. I felt that this phenomenon was not normal."

Shi Yining ran the program while Huang Jiayan was speaking. Sure enough, as Huang Jiayan said, AKM was everywhere in Z City in the upper left corner...

"The randomness is not set properly, and there is a regional error...Yan Bao, go to other districts on the map to see if there are any similar problems."

While talking, Shi Yining turned on the engine and began to modify the code. Problems were inevitable. As long as he knew where the error was, it would be easy for him to modify it, but this time it was a little different!
When resetting the randomness of materials, he was a little worried...

Setting the random value is very simple, but how to set the specific ratio to make the game more interesting and confrontational becomes difficult!

For example, should an area have more rifles, more pistols, or more melee weapons? This is a question, as well as the proportion of auxiliary props, armor, etc.

Shi Yining used to play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds a lot in the past, and he didn't say that he was free enough to count the item division and the proportion of top-quality equipment in a certain area. Now he needs to consider this issue.

After a while, Huang Jiayan ran through half of the map and found that many material search areas had uniform problems, but the sizes of the uniform areas were different.

In some places, the same kind of material appears in one city, and in some places, the same material is found in different buildings in the city...

Shi Yining asked Huang Jiayan to stop the verification in this area, because it was meaningless and the random program needed to be reset.

Later, when Huang Jiayan was browsing the map, she found that the randomness of vehicles also had the same problem as that of supplies. A road was either full of off-road vehicles, or all of them were cars...

Contents involving randomness have the same problem. It takes a while to modify, and the random ratio of each material needs to be set.

"The proportion of high-end supplies can be slightly increased in several popular landing spots. As for increasing the probability of ordinary weapons appearing in unpopular areas, well... specific characters must be added to the supplies to be graded..."

"Just make a ratio table first, and then adjust it according to the item level. Yes, that's it..."

Shi Yining entered work mode and made a detailed table containing several indicators that affect variables.

It was not until the afternoon of the next day that Shi Yining completed the modification of the randomness of the materials.

After testing by him and Huang Jiayan, the "all-in-one" problem has been completely solved, and the appearance of supplies is much more reasonable, and there will be no embarrassing situation where more than a dozen people land and everyone fights each other with a third-level armor.

After repeated testing several times, Shi Yining was a little dissatisfied with the appearance ratio of individual firearms, so he made some fine-tuning.

As for the vehicle, it is easy to handle. By controlling the area range and the ratio of various types of vehicles, the problem can be easily solved. By the way, the problem of water vehicles is also solved.

After finishing the material vehicle generation problem, Shi Yining devoted himself to writing the remaining templates, including the random generation of safe areas and the weather system.

All the projects of the sea monster game development company are operating as usual. The game testing department has recruited two other testers besides Huang Jiayan, mainly to test the collision between firearms and models.

At the same time, several employees in other positions volunteered to participate in the test, and the atmosphere inside the company was very good.

Du Zhenhong has already started work in Qincheng, going through procedures, renting a venue, contacting server manufacturers, and advancing the plan.

Song Linkai encountered a little difficulty. He found several clothing factories on the Internet and negotiated very well over the phone. The prices were very good.

However, after his on-the-spot investigation, he found that there were many problems. The environment of the factory area was very worrying, with outdated and crude equipment, dark and dirty factory buildings, and finally had to give up.

Later, after obtaining permission and slightly increasing the budget, I found a reliable clothing factory and helmet manufacturer on the southern coast.

After several days of discussion and research, the anti-war theme planning team came up with a relatively complete plan.

Since the story background of shooting games is relatively thin, unlike role-playing games where you can add mission branches at will, competitive shooting games cannot set too many plot stories.

In the end, the team decided to make certain modifications to the terrain and building surfaces to add anti-war elements.

For example, setting huge pictures of wheat fields on the wilderness and hillsides, painting graffiti on buildings, and fighter jets and tank wrecks that have experienced the baptism of war, all these elements are used to allude to the cruelty of war.

This kind of content can not only convey ideas subtly, but also increase the thickness of the game and reflect the connotation culture.

"If you could, I think that radically changing the state of the building would add to the post-war bleak atmosphere."

An original painter proposed, and at the same time, he took out an original painting after modifying the building.

Shi Yining took the drawing paper in his hand and glanced at it, realistic style watercolor painting.

Under the gray sky, the walls of the house covered with bullet holes are riddled with holes. Beside the mottled wooden door, the pink puppet is lying on the ground, missing a leg. Part of the dirty puppet is kept clean, as if in Someone held it with an arm before, and the clean part left is exactly where the arm was blocking!
There is an unknown red flower growing stubbornly in the corner of the wall. The color is brighter than the clean areas of the pink puppet, forming a sharp contrast with the dull tone of the background.

"Yes, this style is very good. It can touch people's thoughts and reflect the ruthless destruction of people's peaceful lives by war!"

"Let the original painters draw the skin in this aspect, and then change the two towns on the upper left and upper right of the map to this style. After finishing, let me see the overall effect."

Shi Yining was very satisfied with the plan given by the planning team, and at the same time told some of his thoughts to the team members, and after some discussion, he decided on the plan.

The people in the planning team leave, and the next work can be carried out with the plan.

"Hey……"

Shi Yining leaned back on the boss chair, and suddenly grinned.

Huang Jiayan has been sitting quietly and working on the sidelines. Now she is no longer just a game tester, but also takes care of the position of the secretary of the boss of the sea monster game development company.

Hearing Shi Yining's laughter, she turned around and asked, "What happy things did you think of?"

"It's really a happy thing!"

Shi Yining tapped his fingers on the table and said with a smile, "You should know how many outfits are designed in the game, right?"

Huang Jiayan nodded and said, "I know..."

She had seen those costumes at the modeler, and the male character costumes were fairly normal, such as leather jackets, plaid shirts, two-layer vests, and so on.

But when it comes to the costumes of female characters, the style is not right. Tight leather shorts, jk skirts, fishnet stockings, bikinis, and small vests, the only normal and obviously female character costume is a pink long-sleeved sweater.

Shi Yining didn't know that Huang Jiayan was criticizing the clothing of female characters. He said: "When the number of daily active users in the game increases to a certain level, the clothing in the game can be printed with the logos of some brands. Isn't this another piece of advertising revenue?"

"Or just ask the clothing brand to come up with a template, and we can apply it. What a great advertisement!"

Huang Jiayan's mind flashed the appearance of the game character wearing a certain sports brand clothing, which is really not so inconsistent, and it adds a sense of reality!
"Yi Ning, if you put it this way, there is a lot to do in terms of advertising placement!"

Shi Yining saw that Huang Jiayan was still not finished, and obviously wanted to say something, so he motioned for her to continue.

"I see energy drinks and pain relievers from modelers, that should replace the packaging, right?"

Huang Jiayan said thoughtfully.

Shi Yining nodded, this idea is completely achievable.

"Also, some buildings in the city can advertise certain shopping malls or national chain stores. According to you, they will stay on the gathering island before the start of the game for a while, and they can also make a fuss there!"

Shi Yining nodded after listening to Huang Jiayan's words. His thinking is so magical. Sometimes a certain road is blocked and cannot be opened, and he can't think of an idea.

Shi Yining and Huang Jiayan have thought about a lot of ideas about the placement of advertisements. This kind of placement is very natural. Not only will it not affect the balance of the game, but if it is used well, it can greatly increase the sense of reality!

Just imagine, you are wearing a sports brand that you can usually see everywhere in the city. There is a sign of a convenience store on the corner of the city. You take out an energy drink and it has the packaging of the drink in the supermarket refrigerator printed on it!
Even the vehicles can be some usual car brands!
All the elements come from reality, which will make the game experience more real!

"Ugh……"

The discussion was going well, and suddenly Huang Jiayan sighed and said: "Advertising is based on traffic. Now the game is still a long way from being officially launched. I'd better do a test quickly and stop thinking nonsense..."

After all, she devoted herself to the test again. These days, she found several minor problems, such as not considering the breath attenuation when diving, and the fall damage is not real, etc.
