When I Write a Bug It Becomes the Core Gameplay

Chapter 357 AI Plot

Gu Fan nodded: "Well, I think there is nothing wrong with this character setting.

"After all, it is the first character, so it is right to be more conventional."

As a love horror game, there will definitely be many female characters in "Heartbeat Dream", such as cold and arrogant sisters, and tsundere lolita.

But these are obviously not suitable to appear as the first character, let alone as guides in the game.

From this perspective, the character setting of Elliot is still very appropriate. As for whether she is good-looking or not, we can only look forward to the performance of the art team.

However, in terms of the consistent style of the game Against Heaven, the art team should be the group that will least disappoint people.

Zhou Yang sighed: "Okay, then this requirement document is like this for now, and it can be handed in.

"But, Mr. Gu, I really can't think of what kind of bug can save this game..."

As soon as this was said, all three of them fell silent.

Gu Fan thought for a moment: "Zhou Yang, you are the producer of the game now, so you can only ask yourself this question.

"Besides, the emergence of bugs requires acquired efforts, but innate soil is also indispensable."

Zhou Yang thought: "Innate soil..."

...

In the evening.

Lilith crossed her legs and looked through the design document in her hand.

This design document is just the initial concept draft, with only four pages in total, and this is the result of Zhou Yang's crazy rush to work during the day.

"The first character is fine, so it's decided.

"But..."

Lilith flicked a few lines on the next page of paper: "What do these two points mean?

"Why did you apply to use fake-AI?

"Why do you want to apply to adjust the world view background of the game at any time during subsequent development?"

Obviously, Lilith looked at Zhou Yang with more or less doubt.

This concept draft is not complete. After all, Zhou Yang only took one day to write it, and many contents are still just one or two sentences.

Including the AI ​​design in the game, and the world view background design, are not perfect.

In the AI ​​design column, Zhou Yang applied to use fake-AI technology; and in the world view background design, he simply wrote the basic settings of "Eden", such as it is on an island, with various facilities, etc., but at the end he added an extra sentence: In the subsequent development process, I hope that this background setting can be adjusted at any time without submitting an application and review.

For these two requests, Lilith's first reaction was to refuse.

I don't want to agree!

Fake-AI technology has been used before, whether it is "The Legend of the Dragon" or "The Forsaken City of Gods", it can only be said that the starting point of applying this technology was good, but the final result was not good!

This technology does have many problems, and it may create some incomprehensible plots and make players contribute negative emotions. But from the experience of "The Legend of the Dragon" and "The Forsaken City of Gods", this AI technology also has too many possibilities, and it may greatly improve the player's gaming experience because of some bugs.

Therefore, Lilith has instinctively rejected fake-AI at this time.

Besides, does the game "Heartbeat Dream" need a very complex AI?

This game is originally a fake-AI game. The love part is just to trick players into killing. Can't the relevant dialogue content be written directly by the copywriter? There seems to be no reason to use fake-AI technology.

In addition, Lilith now thinks that everyone in the company is a traitor, so she is naturally a little suspicious.

Zhou Yang hurriedly explained: "Boss Li, I also thought that AI was completely unnecessary at first, but then I thought about it carefully and felt that it was indispensable.

"There are three advantages to using fake-AI:

"First, a large amount of text can be generated quickly, which can greatly shorten the development time of this game and make it go online earlier.

"Second, when we are training fake-AI, we can adjust the direction of training so that AI can naturally generate some incredible horror plots, which will further scare the players.

"Third, using this technology has almost no risks or negative effects for us. After all, our games have become horror games, and no matter how out of control the AI ​​is, it will not change the essence of the game.

"What's more, Mr. Li, the plots of games like "The Legend of the Dragon" and "The City of God Forsaken" are fine, we can barely write them, but the plots of love stories are really hard to write!

"Why don't you write these plots? In that case, there is no need to bother the AI ​​anymore."

Lilith's face darkened instantly: "How can I write that kind of thing!"

Zhou Yang spread his hands: "It's still true!"

I have to say that Zhou Yang's points are quite convincing.

Dialogue writing for love games is definitely a technical job that requires professional talents to complete. And the embarrassing thing is that there are really no similar professionals in Against Heaven.

This is originally a very young game company, with most single dogs, and even if they are not single dogs, it is quite difficult to write such a plot with the sour smell of love.

As for Lilith, as a demon in hell, she has even less ability.

If you want to complete similar plots, you have to recruit people specifically. If you can't recruit the right people, it will easily affect the development cycle of the game.

In comparison, using fake-AI to write these plots, and then having the staff of Against Heaven to train and adjust them, the workload will be greatly reduced compared to writing them yourself.

And as Zhou Yang said, there is no harm in using fake-AI!

Why did "The Legend of the Dragon" and "The Forsaken City of Gods" fail after using fake-AI?

In the final analysis, there is only one point: these two are plot-oriented games, and the behavior of AI will affect the direction of the plot!

For example, in "The Forsaken City of Gods", because of some errors in AI, players can do some behaviors beyond the original game mechanism, thereby greatly reducing the negative emotions generated by the game.

This is unacceptable to Lilith.

But "Heartbeat Dreamland" is different. The love game is just a disguise. It is actually a horror game. Once players enter the content of the horror game, they will be hunted down in various ways.

Fake-AI technology is only used to generate character dialogues and cannot affect the behavior of characters in the game.

From this point of view, using fake-AI to generate dialogue plots is indeed a good choice.

Lilith thought for a moment and nodded: "Well... okay, then you can use fake-AI, but! You must not let fake-AI affect the gameplay in any way!"

Zhou Yang nodded: "Of course, Mr. Li, that's impossible."

Lilith continued to ask: "Then the next question, why do you want to apply for the ability to adjust the game's world view background at any time during subsequent development?"
