Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Launch of the New Game Production!

Translator: 549690339

Lincoln decisively agreed to this somewhat risky plan and chose the supplier factory that Randall highly recommended.

At least in his estimation, there was almost no risk in this model for the first 5 million units.

As long as I sell fast enough, debt won’t catch up with me!

Moreover, in his plan, all sales would be conducted online, and the data would be available in real-time, so Mavis could keep an eye on it at any time.

If the actual selling speed slowed down, it would still be entirely possible to reduce the scale and pace in time.

After having a casual dinner, Lincoln entered the virtual environment and found Mavis on the Spaceship, trying to quickly complete the translation and storage of weapon sensory data.

Translating sensory data was just too complicated. In Mavis’s world, that was the job of artificial intelligence.

If it had to be done purely by human labor, the time and labor costs would be too high.

After finishing this task, with Mavis’s help, he once again activated the memory area and began to revisit the main scenes in “Assassins’ Alliance”.

One reason for doing this was that the sensory experience of various weapons had become quite rich, which was basically enough for the production of this game.

As for the other reason…

Today, when he was holding two guns imitating Yan Shuangying’s shooting, at a certain moment, he suddenly felt a surge of confidence as he flicked his wrist, as if saying “this gun has it”.

After firing that shot, he stood still and savored the moment, feeling that he was incredibly cool!

Then, under the watchful eyes of the staff and Yue Pengju, who looked at him as if he were a mentally challenged child, he started to search for the landing point of the bullet with great concern.

Unfortunately, the bullet didn’t hit the bullseye, nor the nine-ring, or even the eight-ring, not even the seven-ring…

Well, that bullet never touched the target…

Lincoln didn’t know where the bullet went after he flicked his wrist, but he did find a bullet mark on the wall…

However, Lincoln believed this wasn’t important. What was important was that he had found the feel of “gun-flicking technique” and “arc shooting”. Whether it was useful or not, what mattered was to take advantage of the hot state and quickly store it!

So, they officially began the production process of “Assassins’ Alliance” together with Mavis.

Of course, it started with the scenes.

Although the movie took place in a city, the game didn’t need to actually create an entire city, as that would be too burdensome on their rented server’s computing power.

Even if the server only provided core framework data, and much of the content was vague calculations filled in by the player’s own brain, the data for an entire city would still be too much.

It wouldn’t be possible unless the equipment had sold over a million units, and Mavis could fully utilize distributed computing and storage technology.

Once they sold ten million units, they would basically be able to do whatever they wanted!

Fortunately, this was a linear-process game, not an open-world one, and it didn’t have ambitions like a certain 2077.

So there was no need to create an entire city.

They only needed to make the key scenes as detailed as possible.

Especially the climactic father-son train gunfight and the assault on the assassins’ den at the textile factory, which had to be 100% true to reality.

As for those brief experiences, like the buildings on the side of the street that were left behind in an instant during the car chase, an empty shell appearance would suffice.

After all, no player would suddenly get out of the car during an exciting chase to ignore the mission target and run to knock on the door of the roadside house, right?

No normal person would do that!

After the key scenes were settled, he began to cooperate with Mavis to inject sensory data.

Especially the most critical part, the experience of using guns.

In this movie, there were quite a few distinctive guns featured.

Let’s not mention the Beretta M92 used by the protagonist.

The old-fashioned Mauser pistol used by the big villain Sloan, the ancient old-style rifle used by the protagonist’s fake father at the opening scene, the ultra -long-range sniper rifle used by the protagonist’s real father, and even old-style flintlocks and high-powered repeating rifles…

And Fox’s memorable custom gun that left a deep impression on Lincoln: a carved gun body, ivory grip, and extended magazine Colt M1911.

Of course, movie weapons, whether for visual effects or matching the individuality of assassins, are often modified in various ways, resulting in different handling experiences.

But Lincoln doesn’t plan to insist on that; he is not really planning to train every player into a weapon master.

It’s fine if everyone becomes a gun god in the game and goes on a killing spree.

Once the headband is removed and the virtual world is left behind, the false brain signals resulting from electrical signals in the game will dissipate, along with the abilities of the gun gods, the false anger, and the influence of violence. Everything will disappear like a mirage.

It won’t have any negative impact on emotions in reality.

But of course, the skilled use of and knowledge to assemble and disassemble firearms will be remembered.

But such knowledge is not rare.

There is no shortage of people who have learned firearm assembly and even manufacturing knowledge through VR equipment without causing any adverse effects.

After all, Daxia has a gun ban.

After sorting out sensory data, Lincoln hesitated for a moment and asked Mavis to directly retrieve the movie from his memory and convert it into images.

With this movie, the workload of Randall and Little Chun could be greatly reduced.

After finishing, Lincoln was ready to send the movie to Randall and Little Chun first, but he decided it was better not to disturb their after-work hours. He was a conscientious capitalist.

After freshening up, he said goodnight to Mavis and slept peacefully.

The next morning, Lincoln called Randall and confirmed the supplier factory. As long as Mavis provided some technical assistance in the production of neural modulator-demodulators, the factory would be able to start production smoothly.

Production would begin today, and the product would be on the market within a week.

Of course, since it was an unmanned factory, the factory would not have the right to casually access the software data provided by Mavis without affecting their interests. This was confirmed by both parties at the beginning of the contract.

Despite this, Mavis added several layers of protection measures, and embedded traps in the translation code of the modulator-demodulator. All necessary precautions were taken.

Lincoln seriously told Mavis, “This is called being cautious.”

Mavis, of course, didn’t feel that it was unethical to bury traps in the code. If anything, she reveled in it, making sinister laughter while she worked:

“Hehehe.”

Lincoln just stared at her speechlessly.

After Randall had communicated with the supplier factory, Lincoln had him call Little Chun and brought both of them into the scene created the night before.

In the virtual world, the three of them sat in a cafe on the street.

Lincoln took a sip of coffee, smacked his lips, found it not good, and decided to try drinking more expensive coffee to see if there was any difference.

“I’m a bit early today because I’ve got some important things to do later, so I’ll give you an overview of what we’ll be doing next.”

“First, the studio. I’ve already asked someone to look for it, and it should be settled in the next couple of days. Don’t be too anxious. Besides, there’s no one else right now, and even when there are more people in the future, we probably won’t spend much time in the office.”

Randall and Little Chun didn’t have any issues with this and just nodded. “Next, let’s talk about the main project of Dream Cloud Studio, which is to create a brand new game—”

“Assassins’ Alliance!”
