This game is awesome

Gu Qingshi opened her eyes wide and explained hurriedly: "What are you thinking about? I mean to ask you to move to a new office to work..."

Both of them were silent for a moment.

"Boss, please continue."

"Well, Director An, how did you think I wanted to fire you...Really, it's all your fault. I don't know where the topic has drifted off to. Oh, by the way, I want you to take 406 people from the development team, and then recruit more people. After that, you will buy Villa in the villa."

An Yan didn't know what Gu Qingshi was going to do, so she couldn't help but remind him, "Boss, if you just want to open another development department, the second floor can still accommodate it."

"No, not one development department. This time there are two." Gu Qingshi sighed.

One is my own, and the other is a rock...

There are 30 people "dispatched" from Panshi this time, and we definitely cannot let them wander around in 404.

We need to build an embassy for these spies first, so that they won't run around. Then we need to find something for them to do, preferably something that will keep them busy until they lose their minds.

As for what to let them do?

Look, isn’t there a ready-made one?

Gu Qingshi pressed the Enter key, and two Chinese characters "Microsoft YaHei" remained in the name box of the newly created folder.

stars.

Chapter 158 [Two Months of Speedy Passing Through the Stars]

"Stellaris", a world-famous 4X space strategy game from Paradox.

The so-called 4X means explore, expand, develop and conquer.

His classic work is the "Sid Meier's Civilization" series, which is still praised today.

As for space-themed 4X games, there are also, such as "Galactic Civilizations" and "Endless Space", which are both excellent space 4X games.

But compared to the stars, they pale in comparison.

——There is hardly any game that provides players with such a strong sense of immersion, atmosphere, and epicness as Stellaris.

This sense of immersion and epicness certainly didn’t come out of thin air. As grand strategy games, Total War is obviously not as immersive as Europa Universalis, and Galactic Civilization is obviously not as immersive as Stellaris.

Paradox’s game design team deserves credit for creating such a perfect sense of immersion in the game.

First of all, an extremely large "event chain" is designed in the game.

Starting from defining their own civilization, players must personally choose the origin, species, political system, national policy and even social thoughts for their civilization.

This is certainly not something that game developers came up with on a whim. In the process of designing their own civilization on the screen, players are also constructing a picture of civilization in their minds, which is an important means of providing a sense of immersion.

This is just like how some light novels and comics will provide character settings on the first page, and domestic online novels will briefly introduce the protagonist's identity and cheat codes in the first chapter.

But the difference is that this time players are not watching other people's stories, but writing their own stories.

This is similar to traditional RPGs.

Once you enter the game, various events will follow one after another.

At this point, we have to mention the common characteristics of Paradox’s strategy games:

Extremely random and emergent.

For example, the player may be next to an extremely belligerent and dangerous enemy at the beginning of the game, or the first research ship may encounter some wandering space creatures not long after leaving and the ship may be destroyed and everyone may die. It is also possible that a certain technology is needed but the corresponding event may not be triggered throughout the game........

These designs allow players to have a special rogue-like experience, and almost every game is a new journey.

From the first scientific research ship leaving our star system, to the discovery of traces of extraterrestrial life, to the first contact, the first communication, the first war...

The tragedy and comedy of the Age of Exploration are revealed bit by bit.

Combined with the unique imagination mechanism of human players, every game played by the players is a brilliant epic, and even words can hardly bear its weight.

It's no exaggeration.

So after Gu Qingshi decided to develop "Stars", the first person she thought of was An Yan, who had hosted the "Victoria" project.

In addition to An Yan, Bao Long, a copywriter, will also be transferred there.

The event chain of "Stellaris" was designed for him!

The reason why Bai Shuowei set his sights on Bao Long was because Long Yuan was envious of the abilities Bao Long showed in "Industry: 1800".

The hundreds of events designed by Bao Wen are linked together, depicting the humanities of the industrial age. He is simply too suitable for this new game, Stellaris!

If we can gather 60 people, plus the 30 coolies airdropped by Panshi, the number of people in the "Stellaris" special team will reach 90.

Even Baldur's Gate only has 60 people.

With more people, the development speed naturally became faster. In addition, An Yan had presided over the development of "Victoria", so she would not be completely unfamiliar with the new game. She would be familiar with it.

As long as the development ideas are determined and Gu Qingshi provides a complete plan, in two months, not to mention a demo, even a complete product may be able to be produced.

It was a business class seat on the high-speed train. It was very quiet around and a few passengers had pulled out their seats and were taking a rest.

Gu Qingshi typed on the silent keyboard and didn't dare to disturb others.

The little hands that were typing on the keyboard stopped, and Gu Qingshi looked at the plan on the screen and nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, let's leave it at that for now."

In her previous life, Gu Qingshi had given lectures on the design of the Stars, so she wrote this plan very quickly.

When she arrived at the station, she got off the bus and took the subway directly to Beihai Villa.

...........

...........

An Yan is currently handing over the work to Luo Jingcong. After her transfer, Luo Zhuce's title will have to be renamed as "Director Luo".

The operational direction of the newly developed "Battlefield" is clear. Except for the increasingly serious cheating problem, everything is going well. An Yan's departure will not have much impact.

So Luo Zhuce was also very excited at this moment.

After working in the company for a year, I am about to be promoted.

The two were walking and talking when they saw Li Xiaomeng running up and down the stairs, panting.

Because An Yan was going to hand over her job, Li Xiaomeng took over the responsibility and was in charge of the leasing of Villa No. 406.

This is actually quite easy to do. The municipal government is short of money and has been waiting for another sucker to develop Beihai Villa.

As soon as Fanxing proposed to rent a villa, the contract was delivered to him without any delay or buck-passing.

Third floor, office.

Gu Qingshi had just returned from the subway station. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Li Xiaomeng wearing a classical jacket and skirt and a mink cape, with her legs hidden in the warm table, sipping hot milk.

The clothes are pretty, but Li Xiaomeng looks uneducated and unskilled, not like a lady from a rich family, which makes her look a bit out of place...

Seeing Gu Qingshi coming in, Li Xiaomeng was stunned and raised her milk cup.

"Boss, would you like some?"

"Take a sip, just one sip..." Gu Qingshi picked up the Long Tun Shui and asked, "Have you arranged the new office space?"

"The government is very efficient. They approved the contract this morning."

"That's good. I got the authorization for strong artificial intelligence, you know?"

"I don't understand...ah? Boss, you don't want me to do anti-cheating, do you?"

Li Xiaomeng was shocked at first, then she righteously excused herself, "Boss, my IQ is very low, I can't do this!"

Gu Qingshi was choked and asked unhappily, "How can a fool admit that he has a low IQ?"

"Only you can do this. I don't trust anyone else."

Li Xiaomeng's face turned bitter and she looked like she was about to cry.

"Considering that you are not a village donkey, you can go to the development department and ask for a few AI technicians. Well, you can also recruit them yourself. Anyway, I want to see the anti-cheating system before the New Year."

Gu Qingshi put her hands on her hips and reminded Li Xiaomeng: "Don't be sneaky. I have consulted the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute. They said that the biggest difficulty in using AI to prevent cheating is the collection of training materials. This is not a difficult task for us."

"If we wait until the New Year... well, pineapple is pretty good, you know?"

Chapter 159 [Rewi Alley from afar]

Late December, early January.

Li Xiaomeng assigned three or four people from the Development Department to set up a special group for the "Tianxin Anti-Cheating System" on the second floor. After An Yan was transferred from Development Department 406, she was interviewing and recruiting new people to prepare to set up Development Department in Villa .

Except for the two of them, everyone was quite relaxed.

The two development departments advanced the progress at a leisurely pace without any unexpected problems.

It is Christmas in Europe and the United States, so the Panshi team will not come over for the time being.

The new office villa planned for Panshi is also still being renovated.

Panshi Entertainment also understood Fanxing's current situation, so Panshi's president, Ai Li Heinrich, specially signed an oral contract with Gu Qingshi to postpone the arrival of Panshi's labor dispatch team by half a month.

As for why it is an oral contract...

"Don't sit on my couch!"

Gu Qingshi was furious and pointed at Ai Li, who was lying on the sofa smoking, with dissatisfaction.

The smoke from burning tobacco lingered in the air, and the cold and dry winter made it difficult to dispel the smoke.

Gu Qingshi waved her hands and coughed, completely angry.

“No smoking!”

It works.

Ai Li, who was lying lazily, looked at Gu Qingshi strangely, then put out the lady's cigarette in the ashtray.

"Haven't you tried it?"

The girl's eyes showed disdain, "Who would try this kind of thing? If you dislike it, you'll die early..."

"They appear to be very radical in gaming, but they are very conservative culturally." Rewi Alley laughed, "They have the tradition of Eastern reformists."
