The game has started, there are absolutely no bugs this time

Chapter 158 If Tathagata doesn’t come, I’ll come myself

Players just need to wait and play the next-generation stealth game "Black Myth: Wukong".

This time, with the experience from last time and more factories, the waiting time for people who pre-ordered the Youxuan second-generation helmet and deluxe version of the game cabin has been greatly reduced. It can be expected that a large number of players will be able to play the game as soon as it is released, and Youxuan, who is responsible for making the game, has more things to consider.

The martial arts director hired by Gu Meng is worried that his boss is asking too much. In the new generation of stealth mode, Gu Meng needs to strive for perfection and make a masterpiece.

We can’t simply rely on the dimensional motion capture room and system optimization to operate, and the pressure is put on the motion capture team.

Even before, Gu Meng had never made such a request for the highly demanding Qunxia Chuan series and the mid-sized game "Dragon and Snake Romance" that focused on action and fighting, because the mid-sized games had similar materials and could be handed over to Brother Tongzi.

Moreover, most of the Dragon and Snake Romance still lingers in the category of low-level martial arts, so it is not too difficult to simulate this kind of human body at the stealth end.

Although we hired the top professional motion capture team in China that time, in fact, we can use similar teams for those games, and leave the rest to Black Technology and Brother Tongzi.

The fact is that the basic data required this time already includes a large amount of real motion reactions to assist players in immersing themselves in the story, and since it is a mythological theme, no carelessness is allowed, which leads to Gu Mengding's particularly high standards.

The Iron Crown symbol appears on Wu Zhi's head, testing his resolve. It's unclear whether he's steadfast enough. The situation has taken a turn for the worse... (Thick fog)

Let’s inform the team members first. The martial arts director held a meeting with the motion capture actors and described the current difficulties.

"Can't we shoot it like the old movies and TV series?"

'I'm afraid not'

'Grind it in small pieces?'

"But for the Black Myth project... Mr. Gu is referring to the different movements. Not to mention the demon beasts and demon kings, the gods and humanoid monsters can only use more powerful martial arts moves. Some of the movements are extremely fast, and he needs to collect complete reaction data. The movements cannot be interrupted or edited."

"Huh? One take? So bold? Is he Zhang Yimao?"

"Yes, yes. The movements he gave us can only be faster, not slower. Forget us. Even if he could travel through time and bring over Li Lianjie from thirty years ago, or Li Xiaolong from fifty or sixty years ago, they definitely wouldn't be able to do it."

"We're all human, and even with wires we can't really fly."

"Why isn't that dimensional motion capture room so amazing this time? Isn't that equipment really that awesome?"

"Because Mr. Gu said that in addition to the action footage, we also need to achieve a perfect reproduction of the in-game cabin. If it were just the PC version, it wouldn't be so complicated. Later, the equipment we wear will also capture more personal experience data."

"So do you really want to push forward?"

Everyone in the team has tried it today, and it's really difficult. They don't understand anything about the game cabin. They only know that if they force it as Gu Meng said, they just can't do it.

the next day.

'There's really no other way.'

"We can only ask Mr. Gu to find someone else."

They had given up struggling, and Gu Meng also realized that this was not a problem that could be solved simply by paying more money.

Xiaozhi casually asked, "Are there any other motion capture teams in China that can take over?"

"Xiaozhi, stop talking."

The other party's face was not very good, and he was thinking: "What do you mean, do you doubt our professionalism?"

In fact, the team we invited this time is already a top domestic team. They have also done motion capture for major domestic and foreign companies and are experienced and professional.

If they can't do it, there probably won't be a more suitable choice in the world.

After all, the ceiling of action movies was raised by them.

"Mr. Gu, with all due respect, the standards required this time are truly too high. I'm afraid, I mean, I'm afraid it's really beyond the reach of a normal person."

"Emm...you mean, not a normal person can do it?"

Gu Meng suddenly had an inspiration and thought, why don’t I do it myself?

Close and lock the door so no one can see you, and find a few trusted people to help you operate the equipment in the motion capture room.

Then he acts as an action actor, flying and hiding in the motion capture room, allowing players to simulate the feelings of a superhuman dipping beans through his feelings.

Other people in the real world don’t know what it feels like to be a superhuman, but he does. All they need to do is collect his signals and simulate them.

So Gu Meng gained a new identity, actor.

Speaking of which, he is still the most popular actor. He is a professional in making movies.

……

Lupa: "Mr. Gu, you?"

Xiaozhi: "Is this posture really possible for humans? And it's too fast and too long, it's simply heaven, heaven!"

Gu Meng almost thought he was going to suggest that Tianlai become school idols together.

Xiao Subaru: "Master, have you mastered the art of breaking through the void and seeing the indestructible gods? The Dragon and Snake Romance is indeed true. Please, can you teach me this? I also want to learn it."

Wu Mengyou: "You have been in seclusion for so long, have you succeeded in cultivating immortality?"

Huan Shou: "Boss Gu is too strong. I can't stand it."

Momoka: "There's definitely something wrong with this company."

Gu Meng was also a little curious about what they would think about this matter if they were infected by Brother Tongzi's normal rationalization and were not directly brainwashed and lost their memory.

It is reasonable to simply ignore this experience and think that Gu Meng is not that abnormal, but just has excellent martial arts skills and strong physical fitness.
I will still accept this weird setting that "the masters in our game world are like this. In fact, they have a world view of high martial arts and high magic, but it is not reflected in normal times."

In short, there has finally been progress in the action aspect of Black Myth, and Gu Meng was able to not lower his requirements and directly let Brother Tongzi do it out of nothing, so that he could complete this work with a higher attitude.

……

"Okay, I've tried the most crucial part and it's already been handled by me. With this as the basic material for simulation, I can (have Brother Tongzi) generate the other necessary parts."

While busy, Gu Meng also has to coordinate the overall situation.

"The remaining actions can be outsourced with lower standards, and some monsters can be patched in based on real-life animal movements. The main content of the protagonist is sufficient, and we have a reference. The rest can be solved with technology."

"Teacher..." Xiao Subaru looked at Gu Meng with admiration. With such a requirement, could the remaining parts be supplemented by technology? How huge a project would this be?
Gu Meng: This is cheating. You can’t grasp it, but I can!
"Mengyou."

"I'm here."

"You go and keep an eye on this matter."

"Okay, I'll contact the action team... Do you want to use our company?"

Wu Mengyou adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and kept taking notes.

When Gu Meng was away, Wu Mengyou also promoted many new and old employees to form the management team, and Gu Meng was in full trusteeship.

If Gu Meng's loyalty is full and he has the ability to judge with his Perception Eye (and even brainwashing abilities), then this is possible. If the boss isn't cheating and is fully entrusted with the job... well, that's not always the case. Most bosses have secretaries who do their jobs when they need them, but the chances of failure are slightly higher with this approach...

Even Jiajing, who didn't attend court and focused on cultivating immortality, didn't fail...

Since the team has matured, after Gu Meng returned, Wu Mengyou had more time to come and help Gu Meng.

"We can use our company's production for the drama, and we can source some cutscenes. We'll handle the rest. For the action, we'll look to the team from last time. I was really overthinking it back then, because it's definitely not something a human can do."

Momoka thought to herself, "You admit it! You're not human! How can a normal person do a double jump? I wouldn't be surprised if you had some giant tentacles sticking out from under your clothes."

But it was just a complaint, she certainly wouldn't tell anyone about it, and even Xiaocai wouldn't know what had happened in Youxuan's underground motion capture room during this period.

"Ok."

"Oh, by the way, I gave them a price increase last time because I wanted them to do their best. If they didn't make it in the end, it's not their fault. I've seen how hard they've worked, so the quotation should be based on my last offer."

"Ok."

"I'll give you the indicators later. Please forward them on. Try to do your best to achieve the best they can."

"I see."

Wu Mengyou is well aware that all companies are now paving the way for Black Myth: Wukong.

Theoretically, for giant game companies, the purpose of escorting blockbuster games is actually to sell equipment. For other companies, it is to sell consoles, and for Gu Meng, it is to sell helmets and game consoles.

But Wu Mengyou always felt that Gu Meng's attention to "Black Myth" had surpassed other games in the past, and he even valued it more than Youxuan 2.

Maybe they think the two complement each other, and a good game can boost sales?
"Dragon King, some of our partner companies would like to discuss the scheduling of the second generation of Youxuan and whether or not to increase production capacity. I'd like to confirm the meeting time with you."

"No need," Gu Meng waved his hand. "I've almost finished handling the technical matters. You can still come to me for questions about industrial planning and factory technical optimization. As for sales matters like this, you can decide for yourself."

Wu Mengyou confirmed that the priority of Youxuan II was really behind the game.

But Gu Meng really didn't have enough time, and he wasn't Sun Wukong with thousands of hairy monkeys.

He doesn't know how to clone himself yet, so he needs to allocate his limited energy wisely.

"Okay, and then there's the matter of Darkest Dungeon 3. You've already delivered the final version of the game, and we've tested it. Now we need to confirm the release."

"This game is just because I feel that I have done a half-baked job on Darkest Dungeon 2. There are still some unfinished parts, so I am just trying to integrate them. I don't plan to complete it completely. You can arrange it as soon as possible."

"I see. By the way, many competitors are praising Darkest Dungeon 3, and it seems like they're over-praising it."

"Also, there have been recent rumors that Rennie's 'Star Attack' might be... They've indeed been contacting us, and their self-made Rennie 1 is already available for pre-sale outside of China. There are reports that their equipment will be more powerful than the Yuxuan 1."

"We are still suing them over patent issues, but it may be difficult to win outside of China."

"Huh? You mean 'Star Attack'? You want to snipe me?"

Gu Meng sneered, feeling a bit like Yuan Shao before Guandu.

"Darkest Dungeon 3 is at least average. If it were a well-made game from another major company, I might give it more serious consideration. But what about 'Star Wars'?"

"Is he worthy? Don't bother with him."

Not only is "Star Wars" too bad just by watching the trailer, but "Darkest Dungeon 3" also stitched together a lot of the essence of its previous life, and it was also developed by Youxuan for two months and then optimized by Tongge. It is quite powerful in itself, not as good as the best but better than the worst.

"As for the equipment's performance, humph, it must be fake news. I wonder how much they were paid to say that. Even if they copied it, they wouldn't understand it."

Gu Meng knows best how powerful Brother Tongzi’s technological lock is, and it is still in the equipment technology protection period.

The Tongzi is much more powerful than the Zhizi, which interferes with the data to suppress the technology tree and make physicists doubt that "physics no longer exists". It interferes with the subconscious more directly. Humans cannot detect that something is wrong at all and can only develop it on their own instead of copying.

If the scientific research team in the parallel world is already working in this direction, it may be possible to save some time after seeing the right direction and develop similar technology independently in two years, but it is unrealistic.

Chieko is still playing with science, while Tongzi is playing with metaphysics.

What's more, Gu Meng has optimized the technology integration to the limit, and the cost has been reduced to this level. If Ren Ni really starts selling helmets and relies on hardware to reach half the standard of Youxuan's first generation, his price will have to be at least five or six times more expensive than Youxuan's first generation.

How could any idiot actually buy something that performs worse and is priced so much higher?

Hiss, it seems not necessarily.

There are also people who believe in the craftsmanship of modern Japan and go to Japan specifically to buy toilets at high prices.

I don’t know if the toilet is inlaid with gold particles, whether it hurts my butt when I sit on it, or whether it feels like sitting on pins and needles.

The funniest thing is that after running around, I found out that it was made in China.

……

"OK……"

Afterwards, Wu Mengyou quickly discussed some matters with Gu Meng.

Arranged in order of importance, the most important is "Black Myth", followed by the pre-order, release, and distribution of Youxuan 3, then "Darkest Dungeon ", and then the others.

There are dozens of things, big and small, that Wu Mengyou feels should be reported to Gu Meng. In the past, she would organize these things into emails, but Gu Meng would mostly just reply "read".

At least he'll nod in person this time.

Deal with it after everything is done.

It’s already quite simple, I’ve been saving it for a long time.

After Gu Meng came back, he found that Wu Mengyou was more useful, and he was also the only innate SR during the Maodou period.

It has been developed by Gu Meng for the longest time, and has already been upgraded to the acquired SSR level by feeding it two holy grails.

She is very good at fighting and her energy is beyond her imagination.

Gu Meng is assured that she can do the job.

Everyone present was also a master of the Gold Card game, including the newcomer Momoka, and they were not surprised by the two's increasingly faster question-answering and processing speed.

Everyone's brains are working faster and faster, so much so that nothing is surprising anymore.

Our gaming world is like this, masters are very unusual.

When Momoka was playing games in the wild as an innate gaming saint, he could easily do the work of more than a dozen people. After being slightly developed by Gu Meng, he became even more inhuman.

It’s just that Gu Meng’s behavior in some things is too abnormal, which always shocks her.
