Fred’s assurance left Lincoln a little stunned.
“No, you got it wrong,” Lincoln quickly shook his head, “I’m not telling you<div>
guys to work overtime, overtime is not an option.”
“Then the schedule might be a bit tight, ” Fred frowned slightly.
Lincoln was speechless. “I just wanted to show you a ridiculous guess from a yer for fun. Development ns don’t need to be changed, just stick to the original pace, we’re already fast enough.”
“In that case, should we refute the rumor? So that yers’ expectations won’t be raised too high, and when they can’t wait for one month, they’ll urge us again,” Fred asked Lincoln.
Lincoln looked at Fred puzzledly. What’s there to refute about this wild guess from a yer?
However, Lincoln blinked and realized that this was Fred’s first time being the main person in charge of a game project, so it was normal for him to feel pressured.
So he didn’t object, but left the choice to Fred.
After all, Fred was bound to take on major responsibilities sooner orter, and the “Speed Chase” project was just the beginning.
“You’re the person in charge; you decide,” Lincoln said.
Leaving a troubled Fred behind, Lincoln began working on the Continental
Hotel in “Speed Chase.”<div>
It had to both be in line with the Continental Hotel from “Assassin’s Creed” and bring out some new ideas.
These new ideas had to be reflected not only in decoration andyout, but also in adding some explorable content, allowing yers to have more fun in the game.
That made the situation much moreplicated.
Decoration andyout required the involvement of beauticians.
In fact, the beauticians at Dream Cloud Studio had already be somewhat different from traditional ones.
Many beauticians’ daily learning and improvement were no longer focused on drawing, but on architecture design, interior decoration, and disy arrangement.
Even Little Chun led the recruitment of several architectural designers, senior decoration designers, and interns from rted fields for the beauticians.
The birth of virtual reality games was having asting and profound impact on many professions.
The employees of Dream Cloud Studio were also constantly adjusting their direction of self-improvement based on their work experience, enhancing their abilities in various aspects to meet the needs of their work.
Fortunately, the daily work hours at Dream Cloud weren’t too long, leaving everyone with ample personal time.
As long as you were willing, you could allocate some time to learning knowledge you were interested in and venture into unfamiliar fields.<div>
As for the design of explorable content, it required the involvement of game system nners and level designers.
Unsurprisingly, these people were also studying architectural design…
It was because the oncemon game mechanism designs now seemed very unreasonable in the virtual world.
For example, amon design from the past: a thick stone gate hidden in a basement that would automatically open.
It wasn’t difficult to create, but it was challenging to create it in a reasonable, non-abrupt way that yers wouldn’t find ridiculous when they encountered it…
After all, being immersed in the environment and viewing through a disy felt very different.
In a highly realistic environment, suddenly encountering an intuitive, unreasonable design could easily break a yer’s immersion.
The traps and mechanisms had to consider their basis for realization. They didn’t have to be 100% realistic, but at least yers shouldn’t easily spot their ws.
On Monday, the number of yers participating in the Freedom Day event and fighting in the virtual battlefield of Metropolis was much lower than during the weekend.
One reason for this was the influence of the first day of the workweek, but another factor was that today was the first day of the dynamic real estate system being online.
Many yers didn’t even care about thepetition and eagerly entered Metropolis to check whether the prices of their houses rose or fell.
Of course, even on the day with the fewest yers, there were still a whopping
1.4 million yers participating.
There were also quite a few yers who tried to use “reverse thinking” and specifically signed up on this day.
Xu Chun and Roger also participated in thepetition today.
Xu Chun, with his high artistic skill and fearless attitude, chose to randomly match with teammates.
On the other hand, Roger contacted some retired yers who still had enthusiasm for thepetition, and they formed a team called the “Returning Warriors” to make aeback.
Unlike Xu Chun’s easygoing attitude, this team had high expectations for their performance and even underwent intense training to improve their coordination.
This veteran team was quickly marked as a key focus by Mavis and rmended to the director team.
The director team immediately switched to the main screen of their live broadcast room to show them.
Ren Jian took a look and thought, ‘This is it!’
He had felt very embarrassed before by Cloud Dream’s tactics. He was seen as an unprofessional outsider, but now things were different!
As a professionalmentator, he could recognize these retired yers just by their faces, not to mention their IDs!
He could even list their ssicpetitions, records, and personalities for the audience!
It was time to show the professionalism of an expertmentator!
Ren Jian and Zara took turns introducing the yers to the audience.
Many familiar viewers continuously sentments like “The return of the king” in the chatroom, looking forward to their resurgence and their dominance in thepetition.
Contrary to the fiercepetition in the virtual battlefield, the Metropolis outside of the event enjoyed a rare moment of peace.
yers were studying the “dynamic real estate investment system”.
They were surprised to find that after the system update, not only could they directly buy, sell, and rent properties through the panel, but even previously inessiblemercial locations could now be purchased!
The openness of the gamey increased, bringing them one step closer to owning the Metropolis.
As for the price fluctuations, there wasn’t much change – the areas around the Central Park in the city have always been prime locations, and the housing prices remained strong, even experiencing small increases.
It must be added that the Central Park in the Metropolis is not like the one in reality, which is a standard rectangr shape in New York.
Instead, the Central Park in the Metropolis is an irregr ellipse with a gap.
The gap extends inwards, forming the Central Square, which is almost enclosed by Central Park.
yers dressed in camouge clothes hiding in the woods, waiting to ambush others, were amon sight during the previous two days of thepetition. There were even exciting scenes where hidden yers were stalking each other, using cold weapons in a thrilling game of hunting and counter-hunting in the woods.
It’s almost reminiscent of the movie “First Blood”.
Back to the topic, the real estate investment system greatly increased yers’ desire to buy more properties.
As a result, the practice of “buying gold” – which never really took off in “Assassin’s Alliance” – finally appeared on arge scale!
Previously, yers could easily earn virtual currency in the Metropolis by robbing a bank and getting millions of virtual coins, but there were few ces to spend it.
So, there wasn’t much of a gold-buying trend.
Now that the real estate investment system was released, the demand for “buying gold” skyrocketed!
This led to the emergence of “gold farming” yers, and soon there might be arge number of “gold farming” studios.
The only limitation is that Mirage consoles are limited, with each person only being allowed to buy one. Studios wanting to gather equipment would need to let their employees use their own consoles and even purchase them using their own IDs, making it quite troublesome.
Moreover, since each person can only log in using one ount, the best way to improve gold farming efficiency is toImprove their gaming skills!
The higher the skill, the faster you can rob a bank!
