Chapter 115 Game Immersion
There are no secrets on the Internet.
The news that the cleaning and recovery function of "Junk Candy Crush Saga" can optimize many software and make them more "easy to use" quickly spread throughout the Internet.
Everyone was saying that they had learned a lot and rushed to download the game "Garbage Elimination".
This test...
Hey, it’s actually true!
Not all software can be optimized, but popular applications can basically be optimized. The optimization effects are not consistent, but at worst some splash screen ads and pop-up ads can be removed.
This is amazing!
You know, nowadays, no matter what type of APP, all of them have splash screen ads on the startup page, which often last for four or five seconds, which is really disgusting.
After restoring and cleaning through the game "Garbage Candy", the opening screen ads and pop-up top ads disappeared, and the interface immediately became much cleaner.
As for bugs such as e-commerce shopping apps being unable to make payments and live streaming apps being unable to give rewards, they have received high praise.
Impulse buying inhibitor! Now, since I started playing the game "Garbage Elimination", my mother no longer has to worry about my impulse buying.
No chance to spend...
After searching the entire phone, I found that only the recharge channel of "Garbage Elimination" was still normal. Well, I can only give money to Brother Ba now! Faced with this situation, various companies were very angry and pushed software updates one after another, forcing users to update the version. If they did not update, they would not be able to use it.
What was updated? Nothing was updated, except that a detection program was added. When it was detected that the user was using a "defective version", an update was immediately performed to repair it.
Users who have not yet fully experienced the “clean version” are speechless when they see the forced update pushed for the new version.
But no matter how speechless we are, these softwares still need to be used, so everyone still updates them, and at most they just curse at them verbally.
"Go ahead and curse!"
These companies are shameless and allow users to criticize them as much as they want. Anyway, the products cannot be used without updates.
They are very confident.
Especially for many companies without competitors, they firmly believe in one truth: there are only so many commonly used mobile phone apps, and many of them are "no choice"! Take the live broadcast platform as an example. There are only a few live broadcast platforms that are worth watching. If you don't download their apps to watch live broadcasts, where else can you watch them?
This is also the reason why they dare to push for mandatory updates, and the system cannot be used normally without updates. Because they know that users cannot do without them, and it is normal to use the system while complaining about it.
And this is indeed the case.
Just a few days after we got rid of pop-up ads, we soon saw familiar splash screen ads and pop-up ads again.
Some people just don't believe it and want to use "Junk Elimination Game" to clean and restore these software even if the versions have been updated.
Then……
Version updates are eliminated!
The majority of netizens were stunned at first, and then they did it again one, two, three, four, using "Junk Elimination Game" to perform a second recovery and cleanup of these software.
"Is there such a thing?"
The programmers who didn't believe this urgently pushed out another update patch after the previous update failed.
This time they put in their best effort.
It's just a match-3 game. We've been writing code for so many years, we've seen all kinds of storms, how could we be afraid of you?
As expected, something unexpected happened! What use is a second forced update for a problem that the first one couldn’t solve? As long as the player follows the same steps and uses “Restore” in “Junk Crush”, no version update will work unless the underlying layer is overhauled and everything is started from scratch.
But how can the underlying code be changed at will? The commonly used mobile apps are basically a pile of shitty codes. Even if there is no "Garbage Elimination" to cause trouble, a lot of bugs will appear on their own.
In other words.
When these software were first developed, they were not as fancy as they are now, nor did they have as many advertisements and new features as they do now. These were added later through updates.
Some of the content that was restored and cleared through "Garbage Match" happened to be these later additions.
“Sort of like a version rollback?”
"Now that you mention it, they do look alike!"
After a moment's thought, Chen Ba said, "But I think it's more like reducing burden, or losing weight."
A car that can be driven normally.
You can also drive the car by removing the ornaments on the center console, the cushions on the seats, the phone holders on the air vents, and the carpet mats! In a sense, it is easier to drive and safer to do so?
The opening screen ads and pop-up ads of the APP are just those insignificant decorations and ornaments in the car! After removing these contents, the APP itself is still the original APP, and the core has not changed. Instead, the burden is reduced and the operation is smoother.
“We are doing good things!”
Chen Ba said bitterly, "We helped them optimize the shitty code they wrote. It would be fine if they didn't thank us, but why are they scolding us?"
Xiao Lu: “…”
Good, good! You call this a good thing, right? For ordinary users, this kind of recovery optimization of "Garbage Elimination" is indeed a good thing. After all, no one likes to watch ads.
But for the companies behind those apps, this moment is probably more uncomfortable than eating a fly, and they have the urge to fly to Jiangning for an offline real-person PK.
Fortunately, they had no evidence.
To be precise, there is no way to prove directly or indirectly that the disappearance of ads in these softwares is related to "Junk Elimination". No matter how many times we test it, the blame cannot be put on Tianba Studio.
…
The controversy caused by "Garbage Match" is still fermenting in the mobile phone circle.
Huazi also noticed this incident, but they did not take it seriously, nor did they follow the advice of the water army to remove "Garbage Elimination" from the app market.
They have already obtained a personalized customized version of "Divine Grace Land".
Tianba Studio specially designed for them a personalized customized version of "Divine Grace Continent" with very few NPCs and top-notch graphics.
Based on this premise.
Huazi plans to create a virtual image for his own AI voice assistant.
For this purpose, they also used "Shennonglu" to produce a 2D animation titled "Where is Xiaoyi Going?"
The animation tells the story of a dark, windy night with thunder and lightning, when an AI assistant living in the digital world suddenly opens a mysterious passage to another world.
From then on, she had a body!
Not only did he survive, but he was also able to run, eat, and go on adventures like a normal person...
The core content of this short animation is to tell everyone that Xiaoyi has his own exclusive image! This image is drawn.
Chen Ba was not sure who drew the original painting, but it did look good and the voice was sweet and pleasant.
The most important thing is that Huazi verified his guess, that is, with the support of high computing power, the NPCs in "Divine Grace Continent" can really speak.
This speaking is not like the silly reciting lines like traditional voice assistants, but it incorporates certain behavioral logic and language question-and-answer logic.
It sounds a bit complicated.
Chen Ba’s understanding is that with previous AI voice assistants, if you did not actively wake them up or speak to them, the AI would not actively communicate with you.
But now I will take the initiative to talk.
Although the question-and-answer session is still a bit idiotic and even irrelevant, it is at least much better than the previous silly "I ask, you answer" mode.
"Give me advance notice."
Chen Ba told Yang Dong: "The Divine Grace Continent will usher in a new round of major version updates, bringing a subversive gaming experience!"
It's not surprising that NPCs can talk.
But in the absence of voice actors, it would be surprising if NPCs could organize their own language and speak according to the preset script story.
This will bring about earth-shaking changes to the game, instantly increasing the sense of involvement and immersion in the game several times.
It's not an exaggeration at all! Why do excellent 3A games create such a charming and gorgeous world? In addition to the graphics, it is also partly because the NPCs in it basically have lines and special dubbing, which brings a strong sense of immersion to the players.
There will also be "Divine Grace Continent" in the future.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
NPCs all have AI voice-overs, and although the lines are still the same, the sense of immersion is completely different when the lines are spoken by voice and displayed in a text box.
certainly!
Supporting NPCs to speak will require a lot of computing power. If the player's computer configuration is the only option, it may only support 1-2 NPCs speaking at the same time.
That is to say, in the same scene, if there are multiple NPCs appearing at the same time, at most two NPCs can have AI dubbing, and the other NPCs remain the same.
But it's enough.
When players approach NPCs to talk, they will not talk to multiple NPCs at once, and usually communicate one-on-one.
Players with better computer configurations can hook up with two NPCs at the same time and listen to them quarreling or chatting.
Poor configuration will not work.
Players with poor computer configurations may encounter NPCs speaking slowly and taking too long to finish a sentence in one-on-one communication.
This is actually the same principle as AI drawing.
If the graphics card is good and has a large video memory, a picture can be drawn in a few seconds with high resolution. If the graphics card is poor, the drawing speed is very slow, and it may take several minutes or even longer to draw a picture.
The new version update of "Land of Divine Grace" mainly allows NPCs to speak, thereby enhancing players' immersion in the game.
Speaking of this, Chen Ba felt it was a pity.
In fact, at the beginning of "Land of Divine Grace", the game's immersion was quite good, and players also liked this alien world of swords and magic.
But it eventually went astray, becoming primarily from the NPC perspective, with the hero (player) perspective as a secondary factor. Otherwise, it would not have missed out on being nominated for this year's TGA Game Awards.
He went to inquire about it.
In fact, the overall score of "Shennong Continent" is very high, and quite a number of judges support this game. But when talking about this game, one shortcoming was infinitely magnified...
"This is a game, not an animation!"
It is undeniable that if "Divine Grace Continent" is a group portrait isekai anime work, it is definitely one of the best.
But as a game, the player presence of "Shennonglu" is too weak, even worse than GalGame games.
The NPC perspective is very interesting.
It is also a pleasure to watch these NPCs go through various events, grow gradually, see a wider world, and meet their loved ones.
But the player is experiencing the hero's perspective, and what is the hero doing? The hero is following the anime!
Putting aside the heroes who are not doing their job, just talking about the main storyline of the game, it is also a deduction item in the eyes of many judges and is a definite shortcoming.
There is no harm without comparison.
Compared with the rich experiences of the NPCs, the main storyline of the hero is too old-fashioned. If players can play these NPCs and experience their rich experiences, they are indeed worthy of awards.
It is precisely based on this point that "Shennonglu" was ultimately not nominated for this year's TGA Best RPG Game.
The Steam platform did add an award for "Most Creative Gameplay", but other than the Award of the Year, the value of the other awards on the Steam platform is pretty average.
"It's OK!"
Yang Dong smiled and consoled him: "Although Shen'en Continent failed to be nominated for TGA as expected, it is definitely a successful game in terms of business."
That was such a success!
Not to mention that the personal version has sold nearly 2 million copies, the most important thing is the professional version and personalized customized version, which directly allowed Tianba Studio to upgrade its guns and take off on the spot.
Where do the big taxpayers come from?
Isn't it just relying on the monthly sales of professional and customized versions? What's more, there is also Xianyu Digital.
The GAL League is in full swing. As the competition attracts more and more attention, the event's popularity has also successfully broken through the circle.
This event not only allowed all teams to enjoy extremely high exposure, but also made "Star Emperor", an old game that has been on the market for a year and a half, popular.
A large number of new players have poured into the game.
The arrival of new players not only made the game skins sell better, but also made Xianyu Digital's business more popular.
This time, Brother Ba is out of stock...
As the online distributor with the strongest background, even Xianyu Digital was sold out, which shows how prosperous the business is. It is no exaggeration to say that it is number one in the entire network.
certainly!
The shortage is actually related to Huang. The sales volume of high-end graphics cards has always been so low, not too many.
But NVIDIA took the stage and won the Zhonghai Station championship in its first battle. The large number of black technologies it exposed made many people think about replacing their 40 series graphics cards.
Also 4090Ti.
It's not that powerful when used by others, but when Lao Huang comes on the field, his 4090Ti public version is like enchanted, and it beats others to tears.
As a result, everyone thinks that the 4090Ti is very powerful and is simply the most powerful N card ever. People who originally didn't plan to buy a high-end flagship graphics card all at once were tempted after watching the game.
Regarding this situation, Chen Ba could only say that it was too naive.
The 4090Ti public version card that Lao Huang used, he said it was a 4090Ti, do you really think it was a 4090Ti? Chen Ba dares to guarantee with his life that it is not a 4090Ti, but a new product of the next generation or even the next generation of NVIDIA laboratory!
Maybe it's the 60 series. The basic architecture is different, and it's not certain what nanometer process it uses, but it's definitely very cool.
If Su and Intel don't make more efforts to find some new things from the laboratory, the annual championship will be easily won by Huang.
after all……
Huang, who has always been good at knife skills and loves to squeeze toothpaste, has shown great sincerity this time. If A-card doesn't show some sincerity, it will be difficult to convince the public. The key is what can he use to compete for the annual championship?
