On the rental app, a few people look at the house together.

“How about this?”

The space is a bit crowded, isn’t it?It is enough for the time being, if you recruit people again in the future, do you have to move to the place, no way, try to step in place I think.”

"I think it's also possible that one step in place may not be, but at least find a place where you can hold a hundred or so people."

"What about this?"The space is large and not expensive.”

"It's enough, it's a bit off."

“This?The surrounding environment is not good.”

"This is a bit partial."

"Don't worry, look for it slowly, it's not going to move around in the near future."

A few people looked at the new office location on it and temporarily locked several options.

There are still a lot of requirements for new office locations, and the locality should be large, the environment is good, the nearby supporting facilities, transportation and so on are taken into account as much as possible.As for the price, as long as it is not too expensive, it is good.

After seeing it on the Internet, you also need to go to the field trip, but these viewing apps have the function of panoramic viewing, basically indoor layout, surrounding environment and other content can be seen on the Internet, to the scene can see not much.Therefore, as long as a few people look at it separately, make sure that the information is real and there is no pit, and it can be roughly determined.

...

Zhong Ming went out to see the two finalized office locations, feeling that it was OK, but not particularly satisfied, wondering whether to turn around again.

After watching the house, Zhong Ming went to Zhihuan Technology to run a trip.

It is still Yang Chengye who came out to meet and was very happy to see the bell ringing: "Mr. Bell, voice collection is basically completed, and today you can see the effect!"

The bell throbed: “Well, I came for that.Take a look at it.”

Yang Chengye and Zhong Ming two people came to the recording studio, and the recording on this side was not long after it was completed.

Zhao flashed sat on one side, oscillating with two thin legs bored.Her work is basically done, but she can't go, because there may be some sounds that need to be recorded.

After the sound source is collected, the intelligent system will generate Chanel's voice according to the sound source, and at the same time detect whether there are some places that are not natural enough or Caton, if there is, it is necessary to arrange the voice actors to supplement these parts to ensure that Chanel's voice is intact and natural, and there is no very obvious electronic disinformation.

Zhao flashing saw the bell ringing, very proud to punch the bell grima.

The bell is honking, this little girl, strange.

Listen to Yang Chengye said that during this period of dubbing, Zhao flashing work is still very serious, sometimes a recording for more than ten hours, she did not make a fuss, did not complain, the effect of the recording is also good, so it can be completed so quickly.

Yang Chengye said to the staff next to him: "Turn out the voice library of Chanel, match the model, and encapsulate it into the intelligent module to see the initial effect."

The staff member nodded, “Look, but there may be some minor defects.”

Yang Chengye: “I know.”

The staff operates on the computer and transfers all the relevant data to the intelligent module connected to the computer.

The transmission was soon completed.

Yang Chengye installed the smart module on the wall, and then said at a normal volume: "Xianel?"

“What’s the matter with Miss Ben?”

In the open space in the middle of the room, a pale blue translucent figure appeared, and in two or three seconds, this translucent virtual shadow gradually condensed, and there was a figure of Chanel, which was about as tall as a real person.

Height 168 (with high heels), two-colored pony tail, after coming out, also yawned, like just waking up.

Zhao's expression was a little wonderful, because Shane's voice was familiar and unfamiliar to her, after all, it was a sound source collected from her.This feels like listening to your voice in the chat software, which is a bit strange.

Next to a staff member responsible for the production of the sound source whispered: "So tugged..."

Yang Chengye smiled and explained: "There are three personality settings that are free to choose, and this character is like this."We call it the "prototype character."

"Oh, that's it."The staff understand.

The staff here are only responsible for the sound source collection work, and some specific settings for the intelligent module and the specific effect of intelligent AI are not clear, so there will be this question.

Indeed, for those who do not understand, it will be a little unexpected to hear that Chanel's first sentence is this tone.

Other intelligent modules are often the feeling of being in conversation with their owners and very obedient.For example, when you just activate, you will generally say, “Hello, master, what can you do for you?”Or, "Master, I am here, and I will obey your command at all times."

But Chanel is not, Zhihuan Technology here, specifically for Chanel set three personality patterns, are: prototype personality, traditional personality and independent personality.

The traditional character is the character of other intelligent modules, Chanel's character is gentle and humane, very obedient, open mouth master closed his mouth, dedicated service, absolutely will not violate the master's orders.

Of course, this is a conservative approach.

After all, this smart module should be aimed at the widest range of users, and there is no problem with being conservative.Users can choose not to use it, but they can’t.

The prototype character is relatively a compromise, and Chanel will still complete the various tasks assigned by the owner, but in the tone and action with other intelligences, it will appear more arrogant.

As for the independent personality, it is completely in accordance with an independent person to show, Chanel will also be a small temper, personality is more prominent.Overall, though, Shane was very friendly to the owner.Before the design, Zhong Ming joked that this model can be called "wife mode", although Chanel is very good to the owner, but still contradictory.

The three modes are selected when the user first activates the smart module, and the interface will briefly introduce the differences between the three modes.Of course, if the user does not like the mode they choose, they can change it at any time.

Now Yang Chengye chooses the prototype character, that is, the relatively combined option.

“Scully, come play the game.”Yang Chengye said.

“Well, you see, you need me to come to the carry.”Don’t worry, it’s on me!”

The image of Chanel sat down in front of the screen, and a virtual handle appeared on his hand.

At the same time, the TV and game console automatically boot and connect.

Yang Chengye began to play games with Chanel.

According to the setting, Chanel's game level is relatively high, the operation skills are roughly equivalent to 30% of the level in front of the player, and the IQ of the game is relatively set to be slightly lower, but it is also absolutely above the level of ordinary players.

This game level, can be freely adjusted within a certain range, if the player feels that Chanel is too strong to affect their own game experience, you can appropriately lower the level of Chanel, their own to carry.

After all, the level of players is uneven, it is really possible to be computer-carry.

Of course, Shane only supports the dual or multiplayer mode of playing single-player games with players, which cannot replace players to play competitive online games, which is also a restriction on the artificial intelligence system, after all, Shane's level is so high, when ordinary players let Shane help themselves, it is troublesome.

Yang Chengye played for a while and tested other aspects, such as direct dialogue with Chanel, you can change the settings of the smart module, and you can also control the smart appliances in the home.

Shanel's intelligent module, with a deep learning system, in the user's use process, will be based on the user's reaction and preferences, to make a slight correction of the intelligent system.

For example, if the player has a favorite game, then Chanel will automatically expand the database of other similar games, and even recommend the player to play a game he may be interested in; at the same time, for different characters of the player, although the choice of the same mode, Chanel's character will also have a slight difference.

Zhao flashing looked at the virtual Chanel, a little shocked.

Do it a little real!

Especially when you can play the game together, it is very attractive!

Looking for someone to play with, this is the biggest pain point and most urgent need of many players.

Find friends, of course, but friends also like the same game, this situation can not be asked.Especially when players like some niche games and cold games, it is too difficult to play with friends.

But the key is that some games, is to form a team to play, in order to get the best game experience.

For example, Yang Chengye is now playing "Desperate Road", which is such a game.This game in the bell, in the view of the bell, not much different from the previous life of Diablo, is a brush brush as the core fun of the game.

This game is relatively niche, playing people is not too much, but you can go to the network with strangers to form a team, but this time after the brush, the next time a new one, no interaction between each other, it will be more meaningless.

If you play yourself, it is boring and less efficient.

With Chanel, when playing "Desperate Road", you can directly choose the two-person mode, play a role, Shane play a character, brush the equipment together, you can interact with Chanel, lost equipment can also exchange with each other, the fun all at once.

The bell ming saw Zhao flashing with his eyes and asked, “How, do you want it?”

Zhao flashed his head hard: “I want to!I want her to play games with me!But it's a little strange, as if you're playing with yourself."

Zhong Ming said, "It should be 998, buy one."

Yang Chengye laughed and said, “Why did this sell out?”It's okay, if you like, Zhao girl, go back and give you one."

“Look at how old Yang is!”Zhao flashing said.

“Come on, do you feel it?”Yang Chengye handed the handle to Zhao Flashing, and Zhao Shengliang happily played the game with Chanel.

Yang Chengye sat down next to the bell: “How?”

The bell throbed: “Very good, I think there is a lot to be done.Is the release date set?”

Yang Chengye looked at the date on the bracelet: "Temporarily, January 23 online sale."But before that, on January 18, there was a technology exhibition, ready to get there to show up with other products of our company, and first test the players' words."

The bell throes: “What’s the price?”“The 998?”

Yang Chengye nodded: "Yes, but I am also thinking that the first batch of users is not giving a discount, such as 888 and the like, although a little loss of a few dollars, but at least the publicity effect will be better."

Zhong Ming thought: "I have an idea, the first discount, it is better to sell the platinum collection version."

"Ah?"The Platinum Edition?Same with the game?”Yang Chengye stood still.

“Yes, the first part sells the original, the other part sells the platinum collection.Inside the collection version, there are Canel's custom hand, and some simple small peripherals, mouse pads, keychains, custom bracelet wristbands, etc., of course, mainly hand-held.Sold at 1288.”

Yang Chengye was happy: "That combination of the first batch not only no discount, but also the price increase ah."“Is 998 the number 1288?”

Zhong Ming smiled: "1288 This is the price reduction, how can a hand not sell four or five hundred ah?"Now in addition to the 998 smart module, but also sent a bunch of peripheral, there are hand-made, consumers of course, blood earned."

"Well, it's also a way, Shane is really good at doing it."Then I told them to tell them, and soon began to contact the relevant company production, and strive to make some in batches before the official sale.But are you sure anyone really will buy a white goldscreen?”Yang Chengye asked.

Zhong Ming said with certainty, "Of course, you think that you like Chanel are a group of people."It’s a house in the legend, you know?Each one has money, 1288 with hand, it is almost equivalent to white delivery, can not buy?"

...

The next day.

Smoke is officially on sale.

On the day of release, "Ink and Smoke" directly entered the top ten in multiple game market rankings, and caused heated discussion on the Internet!

On Weibo, all kinds of well-known big V, especially the big V of the cultural circle, have been promoted on the platform, and even the money president of the calligraphy association praised the game!

Under this offensive, "ink and ink" successfully boarded the hot search on the Internet, and the situation is very good!

In terms of revenue, "Ink and Smoke" still continued the level of the previous three games, without embarrassing the studio.

In addition to the 1.8 million prize money of the first prize of the Global Game Art Concept Competition, the first month sales of "Ink and Smoke" are expected to break 500,000, and the price is 20 yuan, that is, the first month of the flow of water is about 10 million.

As a relatively niche independent game, such sales are already amazing.

In this way, the three games of "Lid Road", "Working Dog Survival Manual" and "Ins and out of ink and smoke" have an average of nearly 10 million monthly running water, and other miscellaneous income, such as Zhong Ming to "Fantasy Domain" to help do the plot, and the money spent on the first phase of the copyright of Zhihuan Technology to buy Chanel, Lin Lin always adds up, and the studio's account has more than 10 million funds.
