Chapter 472 Lifelong Enemy Fake-AI


    "A two-player cooperative... strategy management simulation game?"


    Lilith had a puzzled expression on her face. Apparently there were too many buffs, which made her confused as to what kind of game this was.


    At least in her limited gaming experience, she had never encountered this special type of game.


    "Why do you want to play this type of game?" Lilith asked curiously.


    Qin Fengliang thought for a while: "This...if I have to say it, part of it is due to personal preference.


    "I am a fan of strategy and management simulation games."


    Lilith nodded slightly: "Oh."


    The answer didn''t strike her as very convincing.


    Everyone has their own preferred game type, and Qin Fengliang is obviously not the kind of player who has a wide range of hobbies and plays all types of games.


    As a woman, she knows little about action games and prefers business simulation or development games.


    This can also be seen from the previous design of "Blood of Lies".


    Although Qin Fengliang proposed the underlying framework such as the dynamic difficulty mechanism, he did not make much design for the details of this action game.


    This is because she really doesn’t know much about action games and is considered a layman.


    Perhaps it is for this reason that Qin Fengliang is now more interested in playing a game type that he is familiar with.


    But...can this alone achieve the goal of collecting negative emotions?


    Lilith was not optimistic about this.


    However, with the mentality of listening and understanding, she still asked: "Other than that? Why do you think this type is more likely to collect negative emotions?


    "The previous failure of "The Forsaken City" was a bit frustrating to me."


    Qin Fengliang explained: "Mr. Li, although I have not played "City Abandoned by Gods" in depth, I have probably heard you say that the failure of this game is largely due to fake-AI technology, right?"


    When Lilith heard this word, she felt a little hateful, and she said viciously: "That''s right!"


    Fake-AI technology is simply her lifelong enemy.


    From "The Legend of Destiny Crouching Dragon" to "The City Abandoned by Gods", this thing can be seen.


    Qin Fengliang asked curiously: "Then why doesn''t Mr. Li directly ban this technology? It might be better if it is blocked directly from the underlying code?"


    Lilith sighed: "Do you think I don''t want to?


    “But the bad thing is that this technology was originally a technology strongly promoted by the official. After achieving two successes, the official was even more happy to deeply bind it to the development engine.


    "Now, no matter whether you use Qianhuan Editor or Wanxiang Editor, you can''t get around it at all!


    “Whenever AI-related content is used, the default underlying logic is fake-AI.


    "Even if I ask Nitian''s programmers to block all relevant codes, I don''t know under what circumstances a bug will suddenly appear and such restrictions will be skipped."


    Obviously, Lilith was also a little helpless.


    No matter where you make games, you can''t escape the issue of editors. Currently, official editors, whether Qianhuan Editor or Wanxiang Editor, have built-in fake-AI functions.


    It is inextricably linked to the underlying code.


    No matter how hard it is blocked, it may not be completely blocked.


    What about developing your own editor?


    Maybe this problem can be solved, but firstly, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it will seriously slow down the development progress of new games; secondly, if those people from Nitiantian develop the editor, who knows how many holes they will bury in it.


    Whether considering efficiency or security, it is obviously less reliable than the official editor!


    Therefore, it’s not that Lilith doesn’t want to kill the fake-AI, it’s just that she is unable to do so.


    Although it is easy to overturn when making action games, at least you no longer need to be troubled by fake-AI.


    Qin Fengliang said: "This is indeed a problem, Mr. Li, your concern is very reasonable.


    “But I do have a way to try to solve this problem.


    “Can’t we just limit the role of fake-AI as much as possible in the game mechanics?”


    Lilith was a little confused: "I understand your idea, but what are the specific restrictions? Is it related to the two-player game you mentioned?"


    Qin Fengliang nodded: "Yes, Mr. Li, the solution I thought of is a two-player game.


    “Let players fight players, and let negative emotions create more negative emotions!


    “But before that, I would like to briefly introduce to you the differences between business simulation games and reality.


    "Do you know what is the biggest difference between historical-themed business simulation games and reality?"


    Lilith looked a little confused: "Is it the digitization of various elements?"


    Qin Fengliang shook his head slightly: "No, Mr. Li, this is only a superficial difference, not a fundamental difference.


    “Although the data obtained in simulated operations in reality are far less intuitive and accurate than in games, the data still exist.


    "Even in terms of historical themes." Lilith nodded slightly.


    This is actually not difficult to understand.


    Let’s compare “The Legend of Destiny Wolong” with the real Three Kingdoms:


    In the real history of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yi also had the concept of "loyalty", but it was not digitized, and the figures in history were unable to determine the specific value of this value.


    In the game, this data also exists, but it is digitized.


    But it is not difficult to simulate this at all, as long as the relevant data is blocked in the game.


    Therefore, there is no essential difference, or it is just a manifestation of the essential difference.


    Qin Fengliang did not reveal the answer directly, but continued to be tempting: "Mr. Li, do you know what the best political system is in historical business simulation games?"


    Lilith was silent, obviously this question was a bit beyond her knowledge.


    "What is your human government system like?"


    Obviously, Lilith knew only a little about this issue, and her knowledge reserve was probably not as good as that of a high school student.


    But Qin Fengliang is not in a hurry, because the question she wants to talk about is not difficult to understand, and it doesn''t matter even if she doesn''t have much knowledge reserve.


    "Mr. Li, the best system in similar games is an ''enlightened autocratic monarchy system where players make decisions''."


    Lilith frowned, obviously this matter was a little difficult for her to understand.


    Qin Fengliang smiled slightly: "It''s okay, Mr. Li, I can explain it to you in detail.


    "Why is this the best system in the game?


    "Let''s take feudal society as an example. In feudal society, there are checks and balances between the emperor and the prime minister. The more imperial power there is, the less power the prime minister has, and vice versa.


    "In reality, it''s hard to say which one is better. Sometimes, the imperial power in feudal society excessively suppresses the power of the prime minister, which will lead to the emergence of weak emperors and the people''s livelihood. On the contrary, the expansion of the power of the prime minister can restrain the emperor from doing stupid things, but it is also possible They will hinder each other, causing some big things that should be done not to be done. "


    Lilith nodded slightly, this was not difficult for her to understand.


    But...what does this have to do with games?


    Qin Fengliang continued: "Mr. Li, that''s why I said that in the game, the optimal political system is an ''enlightened autocratic monarchy system where players decide.''


    "It''s almost the best system in the game, no other system can compare to it.


    "Why?


    "Because of the characteristics of the game, the advantages of this political system are infinitely magnified and the disadvantages are infinitely reduced."


    Lilith seemed to understand.


    Qin Fengliang continued: "The advantage of this system is that it can use resources more efficiently, but its disadvantage is that it is highly dependent on the emperor''s personal ability.


    “If the emperor does not have the vision and execution ability to surpass the times, or if the emperor pays too much attention to personal interests and fails to put the interests of the entire country first, it is likely to cause serious disasters.


    “In addition, similar feudal autocratic monarchy systems are likely to ‘deceive the superiors and conceal the inferiors’.


    “Because there is no bottom-up oversight, the emperor is likely to be deceived by his officials.


    "The data the emperor sees may not be true, and the reports he hears may also be whitewashed. Many problems he thinks are serious may not be the most important, and many problems he thinks do not exist may have affected to the normal functioning of the country.


    "So serious periodic problems will occur at the end of the feudal dynasty. The emperor''s power is great on the surface, but the entire empire is like a high-ranking paraplegic. The monarch''s orders cannot even be transmitted to the middle level, let alone the bottom level. ”


    Lilith nodded sharply: "That''s right!"


    She simply felt the same way about this.


    At this time, Lilith felt that she was really the last emperor of that feudal era, and the people below her didn''t tell the truth.


    But want to find out the mole?


    Everyone is expressing their loyalty and crying for poverty, and it is impossible to tell who is real and who is fake.


    Let''s get rid of them all. We can''t find anyone else to do the work.


    Qin Fengliang continued: “The reason why this political system is invincible in the game is precisely because in the game, the advantages are infinitely magnified and the disadvantages are infinitely reduced.


    “In games, players often have a longer-term perspective and have no personal interests at all.


    “In other words, the personal interests of players and the interests of the country are absolutely consistent, both of which are to win the entire game and kill other countries.


    “Players basically don’t have to worry about being seized by a coup or having their personal interests damaged.


    “In addition, because all data in the game is transparent, players see real data, so they can make decisions directly based on real-life situations.


    “Instead of saying that the player is playing an enlightened emperor in a feudal society, it is better to say that the player is playing an omniscient, omnipotent, selfless god.


    "Wise and efficient, don''t they have no shortcomings at all?"


    Lilith understood somewhat: "I understand, but...will this help the game we want to make?"


    Qin Fengliang smiled slightly: "It''s simple, Mr. Li, let''s just do the opposite, right?"
