Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Wang Tianyi had been hearing people hyping up this "Goblin Camp" quest since yesterday.

The international student group is full of applications to form teams.

However, Wang Tianyi accompanied the Brazilian girl to her job interview at Xinghuo yesterday.

So it wasn't until today that I finally had time to play.

Say nothing.

Open the Spark platform and enter the game.

Select the "Goblin Camp" option directly. Since this mission is a demo, the official team has provided a trial character for it during matchmaking.

Wang Tianyi checked the box.

【microphone】

【Chinese】

Immersive Mode

Three matching options.

For a game with a "tabletop role-playing" style.

Immersion is very important.

Therefore, the official recommendation is to use a microphone.

If the player does not have it.

The system will even pop up a link to purchase a microphone specially provided by Xinghuo surrounding stores. This microphone, which costs only 19.9 yuan, can provide basic voice communication functions.

The reason for choosing this option is that the microphone is very important in Adventure World.

When the player selects the [Microphone] option.

Further testing is needed.

The system will perform sound reverberation based on the test results.

In simple terms, this is an active noise reduction and sound processing system that actively removes background noise from player input and extracts spoken audio.

It allows players with less-than-ideal microphones to output clear voice messages.

In addition, this system can also bind the player's voice to the model.

Make your voice in the game match the ambient sound, and make sure the sound comes from the same place as the character.

This also means.

If two characters are too far apart, you either have to shout, or the other person really won't be able to hear what you're saying.

The whole technology looks very complicated.

However, in reality, there were already very mature applications available in 2019; Spark simply adapted them for gaming.

The reason no one uses it is that this kind of compatibility would increase the barrier to entry for the game to some extent.

Moreover, for most games...

It's not necessary either.

However, Lin Li ultimately used this mode for the sake of the gaming experience.

This seemingly insignificant system.

In fact, it is the core system that enables "Adventure World" to function.

Wang Tianyi was able to use it directly because he had previously bought a pair of headphones that were part of the Spark brand.

Click to match.

Almost instantly, all eight people were successfully matched.

The scene shifts to a campfire campsite.

Eight characters are sitting around a campfire, and then a person who looks like a camp guide appears in the frame.

Tomorrow morning, we'll officially enter the forest. Tonight, let's all rest and introduce ourselves.

In an adventure, a good teammate can make things much easier.

This is based on experience.

If there are no objections, let's start from the left.

After the NPC said that.

Wang Tianyi was initially a little embarrassed, wondering if he would have to introduce himself via mic. But then he heard his character speak.

Just call me Lao Wang, I'm a mage.

It is his own voice, yet it is not entirely his own voice.

Wang Tianyi then remembered.

He did record some audio before entering the game. It was during a microphone test, and the system told him that the recorded audio would appear in the story.

"Holy crap, that's clever..."

Clearly, the development team understands players with social anxiety. If, at this point, players were to actually turn on their microphones and introduce themselves for the sake of immersion...

The effect is not only incredibly awkward, but also very slow.

Therefore, after testing the microphone, the production team immediately had a recording session, which Wang Tianyi didn't really pay attention to at the time.

Because including the character's self-introduction, there are only a few lines of dialogue in total.

"So that's where the self-introduction lines are used. Hey, is my voice really that nice?"

It took less than a minute.

That concludes the self-introductions of the eight characters.

After listening to all the lectures...

Wang Tianyi felt that everyone's voices were quite nice, especially since there were even two girls among them.

In fact, these sounds are "optimized" sounds.

Simply put, the voice system in a game is like "beautifying" the voice, including but not limited to making the player's voice clearer and more pleasant to hear.

Make the girl's voice more natural and more adorable.

Why do so many people like TikTok?

Because I look really good in photos taken on TikTok.

Following this line of thought, Spark also optimized the sound, along with a series of previous sound technologies, all to encourage players to communicate.

of course.

These things didn't leave a deep impression on Wang Tianyi, who was playing an adventure mission for the first time.

After a brief self-introduction.

The game then entered an animation.

Then the scene that appears is the official start of the mission.

Wang Tianyi's team this time consisted of 4 warriors, 2 archers, and 2 mages.

In the deep forest, towering trees shimmer with green under the caress of the sunlight.

Sunlight filters through the tree canopy, creating dappled light and shadow that transforms the ground into a tapestry of verdant green and golden hues.

The trees and plants in the game are very similar to vegetation on Earth, but upon closer inspection, they seem to be somewhat different.

"This scene is really amazing."

From a third-person perspective.

The visuals in Adventure World are indeed impressive.

Actually, the image quality isn't that great upon closer inspection, but the overall atmosphere of the demo is very strong.

Let's take Baldur's Gate 3 as an example again.

Baldur's Gate 3 boasts top-notch graphics, but what truly immerses players isn't the realism of the visuals themselves, but rather the exceptional detail in the environments.

Here, there is a diversity of vegetation and trees.

"Indeed, the visuals are very good."

Hearing someone reply from "behind him," Wang Tianyi subconsciously turned his view to look back, only to realize that he had already entered free microphone mode.

Chapter 287 The Sense of Adventure

"Holy crap, there's a monster ahead!"

"Where?"

"There's a stream up ahead!!"

Just as Wang Tianyi was about to say something, the team members exclaimed in surprise.

Almost in that instant.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to the stream.

Two creatures, about the size of wild boars, were drinking water by a stream. These two monsters looked like enlarged versions of dogs on Earth, about 1.5 meters long and about 90 centimeters tall.

It should be classified as a medium-sized mammal, but unlike dogs...

The two prey had large heads and thick necks; from their upper bodies alone, they looked more like wild boars.

There is a slightly raised bone in the center of the forehead, which should be the attack method of this "wild boar". At the same time, because the bone is located on the top of the head, it looks a bit like a bald head from a distance.

"What kind of monster is that?"

"do not know."

"A bald wild boar?"

"It should be this one; it seems to be mentioned in the mission manual."

I heard the words "bald wild boar".

Wang Tianyi nodded.

This name is incredibly descriptive.

The bald-headed wild boar has a dark brown coat, with slightly longer hairs on its back and some scattered guard hairs. The hair is coarse and sparse, and it has no hooves.

"Fight or not?"

"Of course we'll fight! I'll charge ahead, mages and archers spread out to the sides and crossfire. Don't let them get away."

"it is good."

"Just do it."

Just a few words.

The soldiers had already rushed forward.

Wang Tianyi followed, pulled his character slightly to the left, took out his magic wand, condensed flames, and a fireball flew out rapidly.

However, animals react faster than humans.

The soldiers charged forward.

The two wild boars charged directly at the soldiers.

The collision sent both soldiers flying.

Fortunately, at that moment, the fireballs and arrows arrived as well.
