Chapter 270: Even online dating requires a car and a house!
Li Qizhen achieved his goal.
But unfortunately, Brother Ba did not give him a promotion or a raise for his meritorious performance. He just patted him on the shoulder and praised him for a job well done.
What is this? What he wants is not a pat on the shoulder for encouragement, but a promotion and salary increase!
Chen Ba was unaware of Li Qizhen's resentment. At this time, he was carrying Li Qizhen's thoughts back to the office to figure out how to achieve the so-called "injury" judgment.
We need to hurry up!
As we all know, "Star Emperor 2" is a development project that is not short of money. In fact, in terms of financial resources alone, it may be more abundant than many 3A game projects.
Because of the sufficient financial resources, the support from all aspects is in place, and it is a sequel, so the development of this project is progressing very smoothly! The result of the smooth progress is naturally a faster development cycle. The game that was not so soon to meet the players is expected to be released around Christmas this year.
“It’s troublesome…”
After looking at the desk calendar, Chen Ba immediately frowned.
Li Qizhen's idea disrupted his original development plan and interrupted his established schedule.
If this "injury" judgment mechanism is to be implemented and added to the game, the development cycle of "Star Emperor 2" will be postponed by at least a quarter.
This is a relatively optimistic view! In fact, given the complexity of this "injury" determination mechanism, it may be difficult to solve it in one quarter.
It may take half a year to complete.
Because when we discuss it, it's just talk at best. When we actually start to do it and start writing code around this core mechanism, many of the problems we encounter are unexpected.
He didn't feel it at first, but after calming down and thinking about it carefully, Chen Ba had to admit that with the current game development capabilities of Tianba Studio, it would be difficult to produce the effect he and Li Qizheng discussed.
The hope is quite slim!
Unless he is willing to spend one or two years polishing the game, the "injury" mechanism will definitely not be created in a period of time.
“One or two years is too long!”
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ba decided to open the long-missed system interface to see if there was any solution.
If there is, then everyone is happy! If even the Iron Fool system does not have a suitable solution, then this novel "injury" judgment mechanism may only be released as a subsequent DLC or major version update.
Fortunately!
Although the Tiehanhan system cannot speak, it has never let Chen Ba down. No matter how difficult the task or problem is, it can always come up with a solution for him.
The same is true this time.
The solution of the Tiehanhan system is relatively simple and crude, and the code provided is not only for the game, but also includes a complete set of drivers for motion sensing peripheral devices.
"Oh my god, great service!"
Chen Ba never expected that this time, in addition to the code, the system also included a hardware driver that could be deeply integrated with the game.
Can this thing also write drivers?
So cool!
Chen Ba was full of admiration. He never expected that the system could not only write code and optimize games, but also write drivers for hardware.
Anyway...
Can the driver written by the system really be used? Even if it can be used normally, how does it compare to the driver written by the manufacturer? With curiosity, Chen Ba brought this driver to the Mirage Electronics headquarters and asked the test engineers to test the reliability and stability of this driver.
"Mr. Chen, there is no problem with the drive!"
The engineer quickly gave an authoritative verdict that the driver was great and no problems were found during testing.
Most importantly…
This driver seems to be more advanced and easier to use than the version they developed themselves. The hardware that was originally ordinary seemed to be given a shot of chicken blood after installing this driver.
"Chicken blood drive?"
"It can be said that the hardware is really easy to use after installing the driver, and it also has higher support and adaptability for specific games," the engineer explained.
What he meant by "specific game" was "Star Emperor 2".
This is normal. After all, the somatosensory gaming equipment developed by Mirage Electronics is itself an exclusive peripheral for "Star Emperor 2", so it is reasonable that it is more adaptable to the game.
However, with the same hardware configuration, the performance displayed after installing different versions of drivers is obviously not at the same level.
To put it bluntly, this is like having two mobile phones with almost the same hardware configuration, one with IOS system and the other with Android system, the experience is completely different.
“I don’t know much about hardware…”
Chen Ba frowned and said, "I just want to know one thing, is this driver better than the one you wrote?"
“That’s right!”
"When testing other games, there is actually not much difference between the two versions of the driver. But if it is the game "Star Emperor 2", then the driver you provide should be better!"
"You haven't tested it with "Star Emperor 2", so how did you come to this conclusion?" Chen Ba asked curiously.
The games or software that engineers use for testing are just some common somatosensory games and internal testing software on the market. There is also Star Emperor 2, but it is just a very crude and rough demo.
Based on just a trial demo, how can this engineer conclude that there are huge differences between the two versions of the driver?
“The code is written here!”
The engineer was at a loss for words and said, "Mr. Chen, didn't you bring this driver? Have you never even looked at the code yourself?"
Chen Ba: “…”
It's broken, he forgot this link! The code written by Tiehanhan system, what he sees is different from what others see, Chen Ba knew this a long time ago.
This is also the main reason why a large group of hackers are obsessed with cracking the games under Tianba Studio and trying to decrypt the key codes, but in the end they get nothing.
As the host, Chen Ba can see the real source code, but others can't! No matter how others operate, they can only see the "disguised" code in the end. To be honest, it's quite amazing to be able to understand these codes, at least the technology must be up to standard.
The driver that this engineer saw was not the same as the driver that Chen Ba saw!
He must have been deceived by the "disguised" code, or believed it to be true, thinking that the purpose of these codes is to optimize the hardware's adaptability to the game "Star Emperor 2".
It doesn't matter!
After figuring this out, Chen Ba nodded and said, "Then what do you think? Should this set of "Star Emperor 2" exclusive somatosensory peripheral hardware be installed with this version of the driver?"
“No problem at all!”
Why not use a better option if there is one? This is the most simple idea of an engineer.
He didn't understand why Mr. Chen hesitated. Wasn't it obvious that the driver version he provided was more advanced and easier to use than the one developed by Mirage Electronics?
"You don't understand, this..."
"never mind!"
Chen Ba originally wanted to say that this driver was created by a not very "reliable" programmer, and the game code he wrote has a bunch of bugs. Who knows if the driver will also have bugs?
But he thought about it and decided that family disgrace should not be made public. The fact that the system was playing tricks was a family disgrace after all, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Let engineers think whatever they want!
Anyway, he didn't explain and left the driver program directly to Mirage Electronics for testing and research, and then pre-installed it when the "Star Emperor 2" game was released and the supporting peripherals were also released.
Chen Ba doesn’t understand hardware!
He felt that even if there was a problem with the driver, he probably wouldn't be able to find it.
Since the professionals, the engineers from Mirage Electronics, have said there is no problem, just trust them for now and blame them if there is any problem later.
…
Tianba community is very lively.
Some time ago, the news about a real estate project [Tianba Haoyuan] in a certain city going bankrupt and posing the risk of being left unfinished, and many "Living with Others Simulator" players being harmed, sparked heated discussions among community players.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Not long after, Brother Ba took action!
Chen Ba transformed himself into the light of righteousness and decided to seek justice for the players and prevent [Tianba Mansion] from being left unfinished. He worked hard for a long time to this end.
Now, the results are out!
After many twists and turns, the real estate developer who contracted to build the property finally gave in and promised to complete the roof and hand over the property within half a year, and to pay each owner the delayed compensation they deserved in accordance with the contract.
Now the players can rest assured!
Although no one knows how Brother Ba resolved the problem, it does not stop everyone from praising Brother Ba on the forum and commending him for being a human being this time.
In fact, it is not as complicated as everyone thinks!
Chen Ba often attended various activities and got to know some socialites and dignitaries from Jiangning and surrounding provinces, cities and districts.
It is actually not difficult to find out the contact information of some key people through these connections, get in touch with them to communicate, and discuss a solution that everyone is satisfied with.
To put it bluntly! In the process of resolving this matter, Chen Ba had nothing to lose except talking. It was just that everyone was willing to give him face, and the real estate developer didn't want to confront him.
There's no point in being tough!
It's OK for real estate developers to bully ordinary property owners. But forget about bullying Chen Ba, a celebrity on the rich list and the chairman of the No. 1 private enterprise tax payer in Jiangning.
Do you understand how to choose the right dish based on the dish?
To ordinary owners, the real estate developers acted condescendingly and ignored their protests and complaints. But to owners of Chen Ba's level, they didn't want to provoke him, so they just said whatever they wanted and acted honestly.
There is no way, this is reality! If Chen Ba is unwilling to come forward, the [Tianba Haoyuan] project will most likely be left unfinished, but with Chen Ba coming forward, the other party will have to bite the bullet and hold on until the house is delivered.
Don’t ask why. The reason is that Chen Ba is a dog. He will turn against you if he wants to. There is no need to provoke him for no reason!
It's just one building! This real estate company has more than ten buildings under construction at the same time. It is completely understandable that they would sacrifice one building to avoid being targeted by a difficult guy like Chen Ba.
Chen Ba did something that he had no obligation to do and that was of no benefit to him or Tianba Studio.
Therefore, he also received high praise from players. As soon as you open the community, you will be flooded with posts praising Brother Ba for his "righteousness".
Chen Ba's reputation is gradually rising!
In addition, the second most discussed topic in the Tianba community is the major update of "Love Staff" that was just launched not long ago.
The plan was to get along with everyone by playing the game of "love development", but what they got in return was backstabbing and alienation. Tianba Studio simply gave up pretending and confronted the players directly!
Love Adviser is a dating app, so do whatever you want! The new version has been significantly updated, completely stripping away the "dating game" disguise of Love Adviser, and directly positioning itself as a "dating platform".
The players were also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Although everyone uses this game as a dating software, to be honest, at least you can pretend beforehand, and when others ask about it, you can cover it up by saying "I was playing a game".
Now I can’t pretend anymore.
As long as players are still playing "Love Advisers", their thoughts have all been exposed. You just want to find a partner and make friends, so don't use "playing games" as an excuse!
The transition from a dating simulation game to a marriage and dating platform may seem like a big step, but for Love Adviser, it’s just a change of title.
The changes that players actually feel are not that big. If I have to say...
The game identity is more real! "Love Advisor" has implemented the real-name system for games very early on to prevent minors from playing the game.
But after this round of version update, the game has a higher level of real-name registration, and you can even register your "face", "property", "vehicle" and "work" information in the game.
broken!
Even if you’re in an online relationship, you need to have a car and a house!
This is not a joke, but a real situation encountered by many players after the version update.
In the past, when this information didn't exist, after matching with a like-minded relationship consultant, everyone could chat a little to see if they were compatible.
Generally speaking, if you get along well, you will add contact information to get to know each other better.
The key to failure lies in this step! No matter how well they get along, after leaving the game and getting in touch with each other in real life, the so-called relationship between men and women rarely leaves the material foundation.
This is especially true in this era when romance is worthless and a garage is where love begins.
Therefore, this round of version updates actually reduced everyone's burden and pressure. After all, we used to chat for a long time but ended up failing to continue the conversation due to various reasons, which was a waste of emotion.
Now you can just take a look at the other person's profile, and if you think it's a good match, you can chat with them. If not, you can directly match with the next one. It's quick and easy and doesn't waste each other's time.
The only downside is probably...
In the game "Love Advisor" before, players were "equal" to each other. Only after they got to know each other better and entered the real stage, the differences between them were revealed.
But now, players are divided into different levels directly in the game, which is undoubtedly very uncomfortable for some players who are not so well off.
But the discomfort only lasted for a moment.
After all, games are a reflection of reality. If you can't accept this, how can you live in reality? Would you just commit suicide and start over?
and……
"Love Adviser" has the most awesome matching mechanism, and has already considered this issue, so even if your conditions are poor, you still can meet your "good partner".
Having good conditions is not always a good thing. At least the "love consultant" that the system matches you with may have other purposes...
