Chapter 1412: Characteristic Live-Stream Function
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hu Xianbin explained as he drove. “The direct steering wheel can operate on its own by reading the data in the game. However, the pedals and the slot cannot be done. Thus, it can only be displayed on the screen.”
“At the same time, in order to ensure safety, we will request that the players watching cannot place their hands on the steering wheel. Once the steering wheel feels external force, it will automatically exit the viewing mode to prevent the direct steering wheel from quickly turning and touching the players’ hands.”
“All in all, through this built-in live-stream function, players can see on their own equipment how the big boss plays the direction and how to step on the brake oil door. These recordings can even be studied and a.n.a.lyzed repeatedly.”
Ye Zhizhou nodded. “Yes, that’s enough. We can slowly improve it in the future.”
For a long time, the thing that troubled racing players the most was that the learning cost was too high.
Many people wanted to learn how to drift, but how?
This thing sounded simple, but it was actually very difficult to do.
There might be many video tutorials online, explaining the principle of drifting and the movements of the hands and feet, but most people still knew how to do it with one look. They would be useless once they learned it.
He could not even drift in a fixed venue, much less estimate the distance.
Apart from the poor driving foundation, another important reason was that it was not direct enough!
In the video of the big boss drifting, one could only see the big boss turning the steering wheel. There were even some who let the steering wheel automatically turn back before grabbing it. Then, he floated over with smooth movements.
After watching it, he only cared about shouting ‘awesome’. However, on further thought, how did the big boss operate? He could not remember at all.
That was because the image in the video itself was small. The big boss’s hand movements would also block the steering wheel. If one wanted to watch the game graphics, they would not be able to see the hand movements. If they wanted to watch the hand movements, they would not be able to see the actual scene. It was very difficult to combine the two.
Some people put the data of the steering wheel on the screen, but it was still the same problem. It could not be seen clearly!
What’s more, most of these videos were videos of running the venue. Each bend had a different operation when they were too curved.
The big shots could clearly distinguish which turns to use, but the newbies would only be confused and did not know where to start.
Thus, after discussing with Hu Xianbin, Ye Zhizhou decided to link up with Bunny Tail Live-Stream and install a live-stream system!
It could also be said to be a long-range teaching system.
In fact, this live-stream system was similar to GOG’s viewing compet.i.tion system. They combined live-stream software and games to open up deep data.
That way, the streamer would operate the steering wheel on his own computer, and the audience’s steering wheel would also turn on its own.
There was a return logo on the steering wheel. What’s more, it was very close. One could see it very clearly. They could see the subtle changes in the steering wheel in detail. They could even see it clearly after playing a few rounds.
Its biggest advantage was its visualization!
The host could definitely start teaching. Once all the audience were in place, he would go to the venue and float in a circle to showcase the specific operations.
The audience could then jump out of the framework of that small screen. They could watch the game graphics and observe the steering wheel while feeling the feeling of the GL seat.
This comprehensive learning method was far more direct than staring at the small screen and watching the streamer’s hand movements.
What’s more, this teaching system could not only teach high-end racing skills like drifting. It was very universal.
He could teach them how to make every turn in the venue compet.i.tion and tug-of-war, how to increase the circle speed, and how to operate the inverted car in the warehouse!
As long as there were enough live-streamers on Bunny Tail, they would naturally seek to differentiate and teach different content.
At that time, gamers would only have to buy a steering wheel to find the teaching content they needed on Bunny Tail Live-Stream and learn it slowly.
Driving itself was still a learning cost that was very high and required boring practice and perseverance. However, with such a convenient learning method and the gameplay of different difficulties in the game, players would only have to pa.s.s the driver’s license test at the beginning. Then, everything would become smoother.
This was different from other racing games.
Other racing games might be very easy to get used to at the beginning. They were nothing more than brakes, accelerator, and turn. They could drive after adapting slightly to these operations. However, the more they played, the more fun they would be. The more they played, the more boring it would be.
That was a huge difference between Safe and Civilized Driving and other racing games.
Ye Zhizhou was very satisfied. “Yes, very good. This is the function I need!”
“I’ll go back and make arrangements to update the ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ live-stream as soon as possible so that players can enjoy this function as soon as possible.”
Hu Xianbin asked, “How’s the situation after ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ was released?”
Ye Zhizhou smiled. “It was all within my expectations.”
“I used the publicity plan that Boss Pei had pa.s.sed down, so it caused some controversy in the beginning. I saw many people online arguing about the results of the Pa.s.sat collision.”
“However, it doesn’t matter. Our data was taken from IIS. We have also adjusted these cars according to the results of the IIS collision. When the results of the IIS collision are out, the truth will naturally be revealed.”
“The quality of ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ is good enough. There’s no doubt about that.”
Hu Xianbin took out his cell phone and looked at the date. “But when will IIS publish the collision results? I remember that it will only be released next Monday, right? Is it really alright to be scolded for so long?”
Ye Zhizhou shook his head. “No problem.”
“The more people curse now, the more intense the twist in the outcome.”
“What’s more, ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ is only a game after all. Fans who have reached the top would cling to this point. Most other players would not give bad reviews or refunds because of this. They would still prioritize game content.”
“In other words, as a game, ‘Safe and Civilized Driving’ had its own s.h.i.+eld when it was criticized, and it had its own amplifiers when it was praised!”
“The negative comments now are all small-scale. We’ve been in Tengda Games for so long. What haven’t we seen before? Back then, Game Designer, Repent and be Saved, and Struggle were all scolded badly. In the end, everyone still followed suit.”
Hu Xianbin nodded. “That’s true. Let’s wait patiently, then!”
…
At the same time, in Zhongdian Chinese Network’s inspiration cla.s.s.
Cui Geng was surrounded by the authors the moment he appeared.
“Teacher Cui is here!”
“Brother Cui, that’s amazing. How did you know about the election?”
“Quickly impart your experience. How can you write a work that is suitable for copyright adaptation?”
Cui Geng had been slacking ever since the schedule for ‘Successor’ was put on the agenda. He had a great time.
‘Successor’ had even premiered. He was still in the nearby Fish-Catching Internet Cafe every day, playing so happily that he forgot about home.
Of course, apart from being lazy and not wanting to start a new book, his game also had a sense of escape.
That was because the reputation of ‘Successor’ was indeed not good after it was released!
The episode’s viewers.h.i.+p was not going up, and the ratings were not going up either. Many people were also cursing online, especially the group of people led by Just Qian. That made Cui Geng, the original author, doubt this story.
As the original author, he could not do it himself. He could only hold it in. Thus, he was in a bad mood some time ago.
In the end, he did not expect ‘Successor’ to turn the tables when the results of the election far away from Yuklaia were released!
Many people online had been calling Cui Geng a ‘no-show’ one second ago, and then they had become ‘Teacher Cui’ the next. It was all too realistic.
Just Qian’s lead apology caused a wave of apologies. Cui Geng even felt a little embarra.s.sed.
‘Successor’ ‘s ratings had skyrocketed. It had a good reputation and viewers.h.i.+p. It was obvious that Fei Huang Works.p.a.ce should be able to make money from this episode. Cui Geng could relax.
After all, if this series failed, it would definitely not be Fei Huang Works.p.a.ce’s fault. It would definitely be his fault as the original author.
If the adaptation of other works failed, they could also s.h.i.+ft the blame and say that the director did not do well, the script writer lost the essence of the original work, the sponsors forcefully interfered with the script, and so on. The original author could remove himself completely.
However, ‘Successor’ was different. Fei Huang Works.p.a.ce was completely loyal to the original filming!
Things like the director not doing well, the script writer changing randomly, and the sponsors interfering did not exist at all!
Not only that, Fei Huang Works.p.a.ce had also offered extremely high standards for filming this series. Not only had they collaborated with foreign film companies in the United States, but they had also invited Lu Zhiyao and other movie king level actors to play supporting roles in this series.
If he messed up, he could only blame it on the original author.
At that time, everyone would say that the original work was too trashy that even Fei Huang Works.p.a.ce could not handle it!
Fortunately, the dust had finally settled.
That was why Cui Geng finally relaxed. He came to the inspiration cla.s.s and wondered if his new book could officially start.
Of course, it was actually a new folder.
Now, Cui Geng did not want to write a single word in any other place apart from the inspiration cla.s.s. In any case, he would start playing games uncontrollably once he arrived at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. He could not control his own hands.
Only in the environment of the inspiration cla.s.s could he truly inspire and have the motivation to create.
Obviously, these three copyrighted adaptations had long become the main topic of discussion among the authors of the inspiration cla.s.s.
First, the huge success of Eternal Reincarnation allowed the authors to see the bright prospects of revising the copyright and were extremely excited.
However, right on the heels of that, ‘Successor’ did not have a good response. It was about to fail, which made all the authors worried. They were afraid that the failure of this project would affect Boss Pei’s enthusiasm for copyright adaptation, causing the inspiration cla.s.s to have fewer opportunities to adapt in the future.
Lastly, the reputation of ‘Successor’ had taken a turn for the better. ‘Executer Academy’ had also become a popular animated series on Aili Island’s website because of its terrifying daily updates. Everything had been settled!
The three copyrights and adaptations had all been successful, causing the authors of the inspiration cla.s.s to wors.h.i.+p Boss Pei to the peak!
‘Successor’ was obviously the most worrying and most dramatic of the three projects.
Eternal Reincarnation might be very successful, but the author, Yu Fei, was now the person-in-charge of Tengda Games. He had no time for the inspiration cla.s.s.
Thus, the authors could only learn from Cui Geng.
