The first to be submerged were the bullet comments and comment sections of this interview video —
“So, I can really sleep with my virtual wife now?”
“If it's really Silver City, then how many super beautiful girls with explosive figures and cool clothes will there be on the street!”
“Since you have everything, can you release it next week?”
“Ahhh! I'm logging in tomorrow!”
“Everyone, if I don't see this perfect virtual city within two years, I will blame you for not spending enough money!”
… …
The dense barrage of comments almost covered the screen.
pilipili has an optimized display algorithm, the bullet comments will cover the background, but will not cover people's faces.
But this algorithm is a bit retarded, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, and the effect is a bit strange — it's like countless bullet comments are floating behind Xu Meng, making his head float above the dense barrage of comments.
Orange Juice, Seven Flowers, and Heroic Sniper, shifted their gazes away from this strange picture, looked at each other, and saw the rising flames in each other's eyes.
Heroic Sniper took out another phone and looked at the official Dream Building store.
Those hardware still only have product introductions.
Prices are undetermined and cannot be purchased.
You can only click [Favorite] to receive news as soon as the product information changes.
“Before, I only planned to buy a haptic synchronization suit and VR glasses, but now… I think I can buy more.”
“Let's get a set of omnidirectional treadmill and motion capture matrix as well.”
— The so-called [Motion Capture Matrix] is actually a set of high-definition cameras, but with the addition of algorithms and directional optimization, it can better capture the player's body dynamics.
This is not a must-buy item.
If you have your own camera, or buy a cheaper camera, you can still use it, as long as you install the corresponding software.
It's just that the official product has a better effect and is plug-and-play.
Heroic Sniper is an up master, and his family obviously does not lack cameras.
But in order to support Dream Building's [Virtual City], he decided to buy another set!
By the way, he also neatly clicked on [Favorite] for all the products — including the seemingly useless simulated firearms.
Help Dream Building improve the data!
Obviously, there are many people who have the same idea as him at this time, and the number of favorites for each product is rising rapidly.
Seven Flowers and Orange Juice didn't prepare another phone, so they could only come over to look at Sniper's screen and look at the bullet comments in the live broadcast room.
Even so, they can guess that the news about [Virtual City] is spreading rapidly along one chat group after another, and the influence is spreading rapidly…
And the interview is still continuing.
Fire Knife obviously realized that the topic of [Virtual City] could gain huge attention, and asked Xu Meng many questions around this topic.
For example:
“Is that virtual city definitely Silver City?”
“How does this virtual city guarantee continuous operation?”
“Since gloves can be used to replace controllers for operation, can the foot part of the haptic suit be cut off separately to make a pair of haptic shoes, or haptic socks, etc., as a lower substitute for the omnidirectional treadmill? The cost is lower and it doesn't take up space.”
“Will the virtual city continue the setting in "Frost and Snow Project" that there are no male NPCs?”
… …
When the questions were asked one by one, Xu Meng did not shy away from them and answered them one by one:
“No, the scope of Silver City is still too small. In the current plan, Silver City will only be a part of the entire virtual city.”
“I haven't considered the issue of continuous operation yet. Anyway, Dream Building is not short of money now, so let's make it first.”
“Haptic socks… are also being made, but there are some minor technical problems, and it will take a while before they can be launched.”
“As for the NPCs in the city… of course there won't only be one gender.”
“At least the public world won't be like that.”
“Of course, we will also create a Silver City copy with all female characters to fulfill our promise to the players of "Frost and Snow Project".”
… …
Until the end, Fire Knife asked the question that countless players were most concerned about —
“When?”
“When will this virtual city be completed so that we can enter it and explore it?”
“Do you have a specific schedule?”
Xu Meng nodded and said: “Of course, at the latest next year, everyone will definitely be able to play it.”
This time is actually very broad.
It is already the end of August, and Xu Meng said next year, which means that it is possible from 4 months to 16 months.
But for an entire virtual city, this construction period is already shockingly fast!
Fire Knife was even a little worried: “Is it too fast? Is there enough time?”
“Don't worry, there is enough time.” Xu Meng said confidently, “Everyone can see our production capacity, right?”
Fire Knife thought about it, that's right.
Dream Building's production capacity has been shocking the entire industry since June.
At first, everyone thought that this was Dream Building trying to survive, so everyone was frantically working overtime, and even squeezing employees, to achieve such efficiency.
But Dream Building's employees also have their own interpersonal relationships and many friends in the industry.
As time went on, industry colleagues slowly discovered that —
Dream Building's production capacity is still improving, but Dream Building's employees have not only not become busier, but have… slowly become more relaxed?
It's outrageous!
Now Dream Building's magical production capacity is already a bit of an urban legend, and many company executives want to go to Dream Building to learn from their advanced experience.
It's just a pity that they were all rejected by Dream Building.
Fire Knife took this opportunity to ask Xu Meng the reason.
Xu Meng did not hide anything: “We have more advanced production tools.”
But this answer was almost the same as not saying anything.
At least Fire Knife didn't get any valuable information.
— He only reconfirmed that Dream Building is very powerful and that he will be able to see the virtual city next year as long as it doesn't get delayed!
“Players will definitely be very excited to hear this news.”
Fire Knife in the picture concluded at the end.
The newest novels are first published on !
Then he finally picked up the original interview topic and supplemented it to ask about Dream Building's new game — "War of Kings".
This was originally a matter of concern to many players.
But because of the explosive news of the previous [Virtual City], everyone's attention has obviously decreased a lot, and the bullet comments have become a bit sparse.
It wasn't until Fire Knife asked about the protest against the game by some Izumo players that “just” happened, which was jointly besieged by players from many countries, that the audience became excited again.
Fire Knife asked Xu Meng: “Did you expect this kind of thing in advance?”
“I thought about it.” Xu Meng nodded in agreement.
“So, do you have any contingency plans?”
“No.” Xu Meng shook his head again, obviously not taking it to heart too much, “The development team's focus is on the game, and they don't have time to pay attention to things outside the game for the time being.”
Fire Knife opened his mouth, speechless for a moment.
“What about after that?”
Fire Knife meant, do you have any remedial measures?
But Xu Meng didn't understand what he meant, but was a little confused: “After that? After that, we will continue to develop the game normally, update the content, and fix the bugs according to the players' opinions.”
“Okay.”
Fire Knife didn't intend to deliberately create conflict. Seeing that Xu Meng had no intention of appeasing the Izumo market, he quickly skipped it and moved on to the next question:
“We noticed that in the Demo of "War of Kings" that is available for download, there is also an option called [Hell on Earth] that is [Under Development].”
“Can you reveal what game content is under this option?”
“Sure.” Xu Meng said everything he knew: “[New Recruit Report] is equivalent to a tutorial level, mainly to let players feel the atmosphere of the battlefield and familiarize themselves with the operation.”
“[Hell on Earth] is the main game.”
“Here, players need to combine all the skills learned in the tutorial level, introduce a command system, and conduct a highly realistic hardcore confrontation war under the leadership of the commander.”
“The scale of the confrontation will also far exceed the games currently on the market.”
“We will do everything we can to give players a similar experience to the real battlefield in this mode.”
Fire Knife blinked and said a little disappointedly: “On the real battlefield, can you also ride a stag and wild boar to charge?”
“Hahaha.” Xu Meng couldn't help laughing, “Of course not!”
“The content of the tutorial level is not only for testing the hardcore gameplay of [Hell on Earth], but also for testing other light gameplay.”
“Light gameplay?” Fire Knife's eyes lit up.
But this time, Xu Meng finally waved his hand and did not directly answer the question —
“[Hell on Earth] is developing very smoothly and will be available to everyone soon, which is why I can say it so casually.”
“The light gameplay is not even in the planning stage yet, it's all on the plan, and announcing it at this time is just drawing a big cake.”
“Let's not talk about this for now.”
Fire Knife nodded in agreement with admiration.
— Not drawing big cakes, only talking about the work that is already being done, this is a good virtue for game manufacturers.
Must be respected!
“So, will [Hell on Earth] be open to players for trial play in the Demo?”
Xu Meng nodded and shook his head: “There will be a small-scale test, but it will not be open to everyone.”
“So, players who want to know the specific gameplay will have to wait for the actual video, right?” Fire Knife nodded in understanding.
But Xu Meng shook his head.
“No no no.”
“Actual videos are so boring.”
“?” Fire Knife didn't quite understand, “What do you mean?”
“I plan to invite some shooting game streamers and a group of retired soldiers to have a few matches in [Hell on Earth]!”
When Xu Meng said this, he showed obvious anticipation for the first time, unlike his previous ease and calmness.
And Fire Knife was directly stunned —
Game streamers and retired veterans?
How did these two groups of people get connected?
It took him a lot of effort to squeeze out a surprised voice from his throat:
“…Ah?”
Asking for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month!
