Chapter 391 What night is it tonight? Let’s share this candlelight!
Lu Ming's mouth twitched when he heard this.
He didn't answer immediately.
He stood on the virtual bluestone street, looking down at the water waves reflecting the lights beneath his feet, his heart in turmoil.
These two people's understanding of the star ship is becoming more and more thorough!
No wonder the research and development and investment in whale watching has always been so high!
However, Lu Ming would not blame anyone for this.
If it were in the past, Lu Ming might have to explain and guide.
But now, the number of users of Starship and Starfin is increasing.
If the game is updated,
The coverage of players will also increase.
The release of each new game is an accumulation of emotional value.
Although not necessarily much,
But it is also accumulation.
Moreover, the game is already very complete!
The most important thing... he seemed to be a little convinced.
Projection games are indeed better this way.
If you want to transplant, you certainly can't just copy and paste. You have to adapt to local conditions!
Lu Ming looked at the two of them, and a complex emotion arose in his heart.
Yao Wenqing was also a little impatient.
"Boss Lu, don't tell me, this feeling is really different!"
"Players can chat, confide in, and even get guidance from their own characters, just like friends."
Yao Wenqing's eyes lit up.
"Indeed, Starship projection can simulate environments, restore characters, and drive logic, so why not make the characters 'alive'?
"The family patriarch cultivated by the players themselves is no longer just a cold statistic!"
Just imagine how shocking and touching that would be!"
"More importantly," Yao Wenqing said faster and faster.
"This kind of experience is something players can't get from any screen or any VR glasses! You can be face to face with the character, feel the trembling in his voice, and see the light in his eyes.
This is true immersion, this is the future of Starship!"
When he finished speaking, even Cheng Qing couldn't help but pursed his lips, and a hint of the same expectation flashed in his eyes.
The atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
Lu Ming was silent for a moment, then suddenly said:
"...Now that you've said this, I just want to ask you a question."
"If you can let players chat with their own characters, why don't you just let them chat with historical figures directly?"
"You've already played the role in person, why are you still focusing on a single game?"
"Why don't you talk to Qin Shi Huang?"
“…”
Yao Wenqing and Cheng Qing were stunned on the spot.
"What?"
The air suddenly became quiet.
The next second,
"Fuck!"
Yao Wenqing slammed the table so hard that he almost knocked the star rudder in his hand away.
"You're right, Mr. Lu!!!"
"Your idea is amazing! It's amazing!"
"Directly talk to historical figures!"
"Why should we limit ourselves to character creation in games? We have starships! We have holographic modeling! We have a natural language database. We can definitely create a system for simulating and interacting with historical figures!"
"You can even set specific keywords, character memories, and historical databases, and then have the starship project a realistic personality!"
"Then! Let the players 'stray into history' and encounter these characters!"
"Just like you said, talk to Qin Shi Huang!"
"Ask him if he's tired of unifying the six kingdoms, and if he regrets building the Great Wall."
“Ask him what he thinks of history’s assessment!”
"Moreover, we are not limited to a single era or a single character. We can continue to branch out!"
“For example, you walked into the street corner of ‘Songmai Qiandeng’ and didn’t expect that the person selling lanterns was actually Li Shizhen!”
"He chatted with you about metaphysics while he was making medicine, and even offered you some grass head soup!"
"You opened the desk in the ancestral hall at night and discovered that your ancestor was actually a cousin of Zheng Chenggong!"
"You can even trigger a discussion of poetry and pork belly with Su Dongpo during certain activities!"
Yao Wenqing was so excited that he walked around with his eyes flashing.
"Just imagine, if these people... actually appeared in a virtual space, could recite poetry with you, debate with you, and even tell you about their life aspirations!"
"Mr. Lu, this isn't a game, this is education, this is cultural heritage, this is the second path!"
"The future of Starship will no longer just be about 'playing games,' but will allow everyone to experience history, stories, and life firsthand!"
When an ordinary person first meets Du Fu in a virtual night market and listens to him say "I wish I had thousands of mansions",
That sense of immersion is a thousand times more shocking than any history textbook!
This is the ultimate direction of our next generation of entertainment, education, and storytelling!"
"Mr. Lu, your suggestion is really great!"
Lu Ming: “…”
He originally said it casually, wanting to make a joke,
Who could have known that the other party would have such a big reaction!
This is not a suggestion!
However, having said that, what Yao Wenqing said seems to be correct.
If the Starship can really do this, then it is indeed not just an entertainment device.
It is a new platform for carrying civilization.
Before this was put on hold, Lu Ming would have thought of ways to stop and offer suggestions for this kind of divergent and influential content.
But now, if you want to do it,
Just don't delay your work.
Wait a minute... business.
Didn’t I come here this time to ask Lao Yao to make games?
I can’t go astray!
Lu Ming looked at Yao Wenqing and was about to ask him to step on the brakes first.
Yao Wenqing was still pacing back and forth, his whole body seemed to be full of energy:
"Mr. Lu, I really saw what the future will look like! If we can integrate the historical dimension, then 'Song Pulse Thousand Lamps' won't just be 'Song Pulse Thousand Lamps'!"
He suddenly stopped, staring sharply at the intersection of the virtual night market.
As if thinking about some grand blueprint:
“No, this game is equivalent to adding a new mode, so does it need to be changed?
It should not be limited to the Song Dynasty, it should not be limited to the Lantern Festival, it should not be limited to a certain street... It should have a greater breadth and a longer time dimension.
It is a bridge across history, a dialogue between civilizations and players.”
"Of course, in order to make the game more reasonable, the previous core gameplay will not be affected. The gameplay of this dialogue is estimated to be another mode."
"Also, in order to reduce the difficulty of development, we didn't want to release a large number of characters at the beginning. We only needed to select some key ones that were highly discussed."
Cheng Qing, who was standing next to him, was also infected by this momentum and asked softly:
"What should we call it then? Should we really change the name? Or should we give this mode a new name?"
Yao Wenqing frowned and muttered softly:
"It must be changed..."
"'A Thousand Lanterns'? No... 'The Eternal Journey'? Or 'A Thousand Lights'? I just can't believe it's enough..."
Lu Ming listened for a while and felt that Lao Yao was too entangled.
It's just a name, so just be casual.
Lu Ming's gaze swept across the shadow of the winding street and fell on the rows of rising lights.
"Don't beat around the bush, just call it, 'Sharing the Moon'."
"What night is this? Let us share this candlelight!"
When Yao Wenqing heard the name, he paused.
"Sharing the Moon?"
He repeated it lightly, his eyes gradually brightening.
Share this bright moon?
Across thousands of years, people today and ancient times are having a conversation under the same lamp!
It’s suitable, it’s perfect!
"It still has to be you, Mr. Lu!"
Cheng Qing couldn't help but nod: "Indeed, the name Mr. Lu has a different aura when I hear it."
Lu Ming waved his hand. He had something serious to say.
"It's just a name, don't make a fuss about it. It doesn't matter whether the name is loud or not, the key is implementation."
Yao Wenqing was still immersed in that excitement, nodding his head rapidly:
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I will definitely create a truly groundbreaking work! When 'Sharing This Bright Moon' is launched, Starship will not only be a game platform, it will be a platform for dialogue between humanity and civilization!"
"Next, I will work hard to get this project online as soon as possible!"
Lu Ming looked at Old Yao who was full of confidence and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He raised his eyes and looked at Yao Wenqing.
"Old Yao, you think too much."
