Chapter 213: The Arm Cannot Twist the Thigh
"Time and Space Detection" is a small game, at least in terms of the size of the game.
However, after the release of this mini-game, the sensation it caused in the entire gaming community was no less than that of a popular 3A masterpiece.
The popularity is firmly at the forefront!
Why?
Because this is an FPS competitive online game, and the developer Tianba Studio has also put forward the slogan that this game will never be invaded by plug-ins.
This slogan is too arrogant! Although all major game developers around the world are cracking down on various plug-in production teams, the problem of FPS games being deeply harassed by plug-ins has existed since ancient times and has never been eradicated.
In other words, although other game developers are cracking down on plug-ins, no one dares to say that they have completely eliminated plug-ins.
"Time and Space Reconnaissance" is the first FPS competitive game that, at least on the surface, promises players that the game is free of cheats.
You can complain that Tianba’s servers are rubbish, that the game suddenly gets disconnected while you’re playing, or that the servers are stuck, causing everyone to go offline, etc.
But in this game, every player that players meet can basically be confirmed to be a "green player".
The situation where you shout "hang hang hang" when you haven't even pointed your gun at someone does not exist in the game "Time and Space Detective". Because if you shout like this, not only will others not sympathize with you, but they will think you are a fool.
How can there be cheats in this game? Don't talk nonsense! If you are not good at it, just practice more. Don't always say that there are cheats when you see something amazing. It's fine to say it in other games, but if you still say it in "Time and Space Detective", no one will agree with you.
There are thousands of plug-in makers, with different identities. Some are professional plug-in authors who make money by doing unconventional things, and some are hackers or folk technical experts who are just curious and want to give it a try.
Anyway, everyone has the same goal, which is to create a plug-in software, break through the anti-cheating system of "Time and Space Reconnaissance", and get the bounty promised by Tianba Studio.
But unfortunately...
"Time and Space Detective", which was produced using the Tianba engine and Chen Ba also put a lot of effort into the anti-cheating system, is like a hedgehog that makes it difficult for anyone to start playing.
Violent plug-ins, don’t even think about locking the head or automatically aiming.
Even if one does not tamper with the game files or read any game data, but instead creates an AI plug-in third-party program to capture screen images, one will still be arrested.
This is very embarrassing.
Some people even used the mouse macro mechanism to create a hardware input gun control auxiliary script, but they were still arrested.
At this point, the plug-in authors were completely convinced.
After all, we've tried everything from software to hardware to AI, and this game is indeed impossible to crack. If we want to find a loophole, we can only do it on the server side.
However, Tianba Studio clearly stated that no bounty can be obtained by attacking the server, and that this is a "hacking" method, and they will also call the police.
Besides.
It was embarrassing that we couldn't take down "Time and Space Detective" using conventional means. If we attacked Tianba's server just to vent our anger, it would not only fail to show our ability, but also give people the illusion of "being angry out of shame".
Based on this, the game server has not been attacked so far except for routine intrusions.
But having said that.
Although cheats are blocked from the game, it seems that "Time and Space Reconnaissance" should be the fairest and best FPS game in the world.
Actually, it is not true...
With the discovery of special mechanisms such as "bullet turning" and "bullet time", every player who has played this game can't help but complain.
This game does not have cheats, but for experts who are good at this game, it is not much different from cheating...
Jiangning, Tianba Studio.
"There's a sniper at ten o'clock!"
"Fuck, this is even possible?"
With crackling sounds, Liu Jinfu, wearing headphones, was fighting on the beach map with a QB95 in his hand, with Luo Ji and Chen Ba standing behind him.
Tianba Studio is full of talents! Among them is Liu Jinfu, a non-traditional FPS genius player. He is very good at shooting, and it is said that he has played in CF Hundred Cities League before, but I don't know if it is true or not.
Maybe it's true. Anyway, Chen Ba watched him play "Time and Space Reconnaissance" for a long time behind him, and he really didn't die once and killed a lot of people.
Sometimes, Chen Ba thought he was going to give up, but every time he made a move, Chen Ba’s eyes would widen and he would sigh, “This game can be played this way.”
For example, just now, on the hillside at ten o'clock, a player aimed a sniper rifle at Liu Jinfu.
Worried that he didn't notice it, Chen Ba specifically reminded him to prevent him from being murdered.
Little did he know that his reminder was in vain.
For a player like Liu Jinfu who is an expert in both body movement and marksmanship, it is extremely easy to hide from a sneak attack at this distance.
Have you ever seen a step-back takeoff?
Press the emergency stop button while running quickly, then turn and roll to jump with a wide-angle perspective.
In terms of visual effects, what is presented is a character who is running and suddenly takes an unreasonable anti-gravity step back, steps on his right foot with his left foot and makes a "three-point shot" and flies backwards, heading straight for the ten o'clock direction.
The character was still flying in the sky, but the bullet had already passed through the distance and killed the enemy with a sniper.
"If it were any other game, and I encountered this situation, I would probably have pressed the report button so many times that it became a hindrance. If this wasn't a cheat, I would have eaten shit on the spot," Chen Ba said speechlessly.
Is this a beautiful kill? Yes! From a visual point of view, the killer had a great time, and the spectators also had a great time.
But for the player who was killed, this experience was not so wonderful...
"really!"
As the chief planner of "Time and Space Detection", Luo Ji couldn't help but sigh: "Based on the characteristics of the engine, there are too many physical skills that can be used."
"If you can use these skills and exploit the bugs, you can do things in the game that are almost like cheating."
However, this is particularly torturous for those players who follow the script and fight with guns honestly.
Against a gun? Against a gun! Your opponents are all capable of flying and escaping, but you are just a walking chicken, standing still or behind a cover to get hit. If you don’t suffer, who will?
This was the result of Chen Ba giving Liu Jinfu an order prohibiting him from using a series of bugs such as bullet turning and bullet time.
If this restriction is not added, it is not difficult to imagine that ordinary players may have a worse life in such a game than in a game where plug-ins are rampant.
Luo Ji believes that this is a problem caused by the fact that the game engine has not yet been fully adapted to FPS games and has not yet been adjusted accordingly.
To put it bluntly.
Luo Ji, who had just joined Tianba Studio, didn't want to bear such a big blame right away. He swears to God that the bullet turning and bullet time had nothing to do with him.
The fault lies with the Tianba engine!
When this engine was first designed, the needs of FPS games were not taken into consideration. Even though they were added later, they did not seem mature and reliable.
The most important thing is that even though this engine has been updated to 3.0, it still hasn’t solved the problems left over from the 1.0 era.
What's the problem? Of course, the game developed using this engine has an unknown bug when it leaves the factory! "That's not a bug..."
Seeing that Luo Ji was getting more and more outrageous, Chen Ba quickly explained: "Ahem, considering that you are new here, Lao Luo, and you don't know much about the situation in our studio, I will forgive you this time."
"Don't say that again. What bug? That's a feature of our engine..."
"Okay, okay, engine characteristics!"
Luo Ji heard the hidden meaning in Chen Ba's words and quickly changed his words: "Then is there any chance of improving this B... characteristic?"
"The probability is that there is none."
Chen Ba said with a bit of embarrassment: "The characteristics of their origin engine have existed for so many years, there is no reason why the characteristics of our engine must be eradicated, right?"
"Okay, I understand."
After hearing this, Roger completely gave up all hope for the Tianba Engine.
If he wants to make an FPS game in the future, he would rather use another engine than the Tianba engine.
Although games developed with the Tianba engine do not need to worry about being hacked by plug-ins, the bugs in the game may be more severe than the plug-ins!
"Okay, don't think too much about it."
Chen Ba patted Lao Luo on the shoulder, signaling him not to take it to heart.
After all, the mission of "Time and Space Reconnaissance" has been accomplished. This game successfully made the Tianba engine famous in the FPS game circle.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
More and more developers, especially FPS game developers, are willing to try using this engine.
at the same time.
That annoying guy Kadier finally stopped bothering Chen Ba, and took the authorization given by Tianba Studio and went back to the United States to work on his new FPS game.
Although the authorization he obtained was not the exclusive authorization as he had initially expected, it is better to have it than not.
Chen Ba promised.
The engine version provided by Tianba Studio to Kadier will be the most suitable version in the world for developing FPS games. It is a very cool engine!
Kadir was so moved that he almost cried.
He also didn't know why in just a few days, Chen Ba, who had been indifferent to him, suddenly smiled and even agreed to his request.
But no matter what, his wish came true! "The old man's plan is probably going to fail."
Chen Ba will indeed make a special edition for him, but who says that a special edition must be better than a regular edition? Is it possible that the castrated version for export is also a special edition? Kadier is in luck!
The power of the ordinary version of Tianba Engine is already out of control. Only some functions have been castrated, and the characteristics have not been castrated, so... what kind of game will he make?
Just as Chen Ba was smiling and feeling happy for sending away the plague god, Yang Dong and Huang Qing walked into the office.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Jinfu, who was playing games, took off his headphones, looked back, and found that almost all the senior executives of the studio were present.
"It's okay, you can go out first."
After letting Liu Jinfu and Lao Luo leave first, Chen Ba took them to the sofa and sat them down, asking, "What happened? Why do you look so unhappy?"
“We were sued.”
"who?"
Huang Qing mentioned the name of a well-known company in China, and then said: "The reason is that our "I am a Big Internet Celebrity" infringed the copyright of their company's products."
"That's pure nonsense!"
Chen Ba was speechless: "One is a game and the other is a short video app. They are totally unrelated. Why are they causing trouble for us?"
“The lawsuit is not the point.”
"The point is that they are afraid of us, so they want to stop us from obtaining a license and officially releasing the book."
Huang Qing explained: "Maybe they saw the power of our AI brokers and felt that it was a threat to their core business."
Not to mention, Tianba Studio is also planning to embed traffic monetization methods such as live streaming and advertising orders into "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity".
The other party may not be afraid of competition from other software. After all, the user base is there, and the software usage experience is very different. There is no reason to be afraid of other software.
But Tianba Studio, which crossed the industry to disrupt the market, came up with a shocking AI agent right from the start, which is different from other software.
Only those who are actually in this business know how destructive this AI broker is.
To put it bluntly, no matter how other software develops, as long as Douyin and Kuaishou do not commit suicide, they will still be the leaders in the industry.
But once this AI agent comes out, it’s hard to say. After all, this thing will definitely be a devastating blow to the entire internet celebrity short video industry.
"There are too many jobs involved."
Huang Qing told Chen Ba that before he came to report, he had thought about why this happened.
Then he came to the conclusion that whether it is the internet celebrity economy or live streaming sales, there are too many people involved in the entire industry.
It is not a question of one platform collapsing and then developing a new one.
The main reason is that "I am a Big Internet Celebrity" is a game! Although it has certain short video software functions, it is still a game in essence...
"I understand!"
After Huang Qing said this, Chen Ba immediately understood.
AI agents have threatened a national-level short video software. This software is very powerful and involves the jobs and future of countless people.
If "I am a Big Internet Celebrity" is also a similar software, it would be fine if the other party was killed by commercial competition.
The awkward thing is that this is a game, and in the eyes of some people, games are something that can be "banned".
"That's it, then."
Chen Ba is already thirty years old and is no longer the young man he used to be. Naturally, he won't be so passionate as to do anything stubborn for the justice in his heart.
If the game is killed, it is killed!
Although this is the first time, Tianba Studio has never encountered such a situation before, but to be honest, any normal game studio or game company will have to go through this.
Even for big companies like Tencent, quite a few games are cancelled every year.
He just felt sorry for Brother Dong.
After all, Brother Dong has put so much effort into this game, and it has even entered the testing phase. It is really hurtful that it was killed like this.
But there's nothing I can do.
Who can blame the arm for being powerless? Who can blame Tianba Studio for being a "stinky game-making company" that can neither create flexible employment nor provide jobs!
We can only comfort Brother Dong and hope that one day the seal will loosen and "I Am a Big Internet Celebrity" can be reborn.
That’s right!
Impure World Reincarnation is not uncommon, Piggoose often does this kind of thing. Many new games look new, but they are all old games that were killed in the past...
