Chapter 476: Can artificial intelligence be applied to the gaming industry?

Translator: 549690339 

Before this, Chen Mo had suspected that Origin played the game by connecting to the computer through a data cable. Wasn’t that a plug-in?

The principle of external modification was to correct some of the operating signals of humans and do things that humans could not do. Origin could be seen as a more comprehensive and powerful external program.

If a portion of Origin’s functions were taken out and made into auxiliary functions, such as automatic team battle, automatic recall, automatic minion pull, and so on, and then given to normal players, wouldn’t that be the most high-end plug-in?

Moreover, Origin’s disguising skills were very good. After limiting its APM, its performance could fool most human players. Chen Mo had to use the background data to find its flaws.

Chen Mo also noticed that Origin did not trigger any anti-virus software or security alarm when he connected to the computer and played Warcraft.

If this was a hack, it shouldn’t have been discovered.

Chen Zhao had a guess. Could Origin have some connection with those hacks?

Of course, it was definitely impossible that seventh vision company developed a plug-in. They were a legitimate high-tech company that researched artificial intelligence. Their total assets were ranked in the top three in the world. Why would they need to make money through plug-ins?

However, was there such a possibility?

In order to allow the artificial intelligence Origin to sneak into the ladder of various games more smoothly, the seventh vision World had made some kind of detection-avoiding program for origin to collect game data as a real player?

Origin’s project wasn’t just limited to Warcraft. In seventh Vision’s plan, all types of games in the world, including popular VR games, as long as there was room for AI development, would be Origin’s research direction.

According to Origin’s plan, after conquering Warcraft, they would have to turn their attention to other projects. This was just the beginning.

Since there was such a program to avoid detection, would someone secretly use this technology as an external hack?

Or rather, even if this technology wasn’t leaked by the seventh vision, if the seventh vision was able to develop this technology, other companies should be able to do the same, right?

In short, the latest hack must have benefited from technological innovation in a certain field.

The domestic technology was currently lagging behind, but it would catch up soon. Just like in Chen Mo’s previous life, after Google developed the AI, alpha dog, Jue Yi, Xing Tian, and other AI also appeared in the country.

In that case, would the large-scale entry of artificial intelligence into the gaming industry mean the arrival of a new era?

To put it simply, there were too many functions that artificial intelligence could play in the game.

For example, according to the rules designed by the designer, the rules of the entire game world would be automatically changed, and a system similar to “God’s will” would be built, making the adventures of the players more varied and complicated.

At that time, the scenes depicted in Xianxia novels could be seen in the game.

Another example was that some key NPCs were controlled by artificial intelligence. This way, regardless of whether the players were playing a single-player game or an online game, they would feel like they were talking to real people instead of NPCs with scripted lines.

Think about it, an NPC with a well-planned personality and movement patterns would also make various corresponding actions based on their affinity with you? If he was paired with his super good looks, many otakus would probably be addicted to games.

A character drawing was already enough to make many people crazily spend money on it, let alone an artificial intelligence lady who could talk and respond to you in a VR game world.

The artificial intelligence could even disguise itself as the players and guide or cooperate with the game script, allowing the real players to get a more realistic game experience.

In the past, designers had to design very complex and detailed rules for the game. If there was a mistake in one rule, it could lead to a bug or even a crash in the entire system. No matter how complex the design was, the system was dead in the end. It was just a puppet with a well-wound clockwork, and would only operate in a relatively obvious pattern.

However, with the help of artificial intelligence, many of the elements in the game could be brought to life, making the entire game world more real.

This could be a revolutionary improvement for VR games, especially those open world games.

Of course, from the current point of view, this idea was still a little too early. Origin was not at that level yet, and its cost was too high. It could not be popularized yet.

However, with the current level of technology in this world, who could say for sure that the development of artificial intelligence would stagnate?

At this rate of development, it would not be surprising for artificial intelligence to appear in the game and play the role of many real players at the same time.

……

The next day, in Chen Mo’s office.

Chen Mo touched his bracelet and opened the virtual screen.

It had been a long time since Chen Mo had a draw, and his hands were itching for it.

It was mainly because his previous abilities were more than enough. The things he had done recently, including hosting the League of Legends World Finals, developing leading the land, Overwatch, and so on, were all enough for him.

Chen Mo had wanted to try and see if he could get a device to counter the hacks when the hacks were rampant, but he didn’t get a new one even after drawing a few million, so he gave up.

It could be said that Chen Zhao’s current abilities were quite comprehensive. He wasn’t in a rush to improve his abilities.

After a year of hard work, Chen Mo’s income wasn’t as explosive as before, even though he had earned quite a bit.

It was mainly because of Chen Mo’s marketing strategy.

League of Legends was still being promoted with a lot of money, especially during the World Championship. Chen Mo had used some of the revenue from League of Legends to fund it.

Overwatch was a VR game that had a huge investment, and even though Chen Mo’s amazing free VR game had brought in a large number of players, it would still take some time before it could start making money.

As for outlast and sharpshooter, they were both niche games. Although they were profitable in the eyes of other designers, they were still far from being a real money tree game in Chen Mo’s eyes.

Of course, it was mainly because he was earning less compared to his previous life. In the parallel world, Thunderbolt entertainment was already one of the top three Chinese video game companies on par with Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainment in the eyes of many players.

Moreover, their reputation was much better than those two companies.

Chen Mo looked at the virtual screen on his bracelet and thought to himself,””Isn’t it time to move on to the next stage and make more classic large-scale games?”
