Chapter 16 Language
The development of the PC version of The Sims can basically be said to be smooth sailing.
On the one hand, Xiao Ai has a good overall control over the game, and the two of them cooperate well. On the other hand, the two of them don’t have to face any investors. There is no need to make games based on the nonsense of those who don’t understand the game at all.
However, although the overall framework has been built, it takes time to fill in the content.
There can be no TV with only one shape, there can be no sofa with only fabric sofa. The filling of various items with variety can be said to be a sinkhole.
The little geisha paints it softly, and Takahashi adds it softly.
Even Takahashi wants to pack these details and sell another expansion pack after the game body is released.
It’s not that Takahashi is so mean that he gets into the eyes of money. But because the capacity of the game is already quite large.
Now is the time when the optical drive and floppy disk are replaced. If the part that has been made is filled into a three-point five-inch floppy disk, after compression, it will cost at least twenty floppy disks.
Of course, compared to this, the capacity of a CD of hundreds of megabytes is much higher. It doesn’t look very shabby if you can put down the current game with just one CD.
Of course, in addition to these trivialities, the most important thing lies in the AI of the game characters. After all, players who choose to buy this game don’t want to interact with a group of mentally retarded people.
And, there is the most critical point - language.
As a game that imitates social life, the element of language is essential.
However, the hardware today is not enough to support so many phrases.
What you need to know is that the more people come into contact with, the more sensitive people are to it. If there are a little minor problem, they will quickly discover it, thus creating a sense of disconnection.
If you use real voice on the computer version of "The Sims", the effect will definitely not be very good. Using the official accent seems too rigid. However, if you use a dialect from a certain place or a specific dialect, not everyone will like it.
Plus, the number of phrases that make people want to die is limited. If you want to give The Sims a better game experience, there is only one way to create a new language, a language that no one has heard of.
Because no one has heard of it, and because it is not used every day, it does not feel disconnected.
However, this kind of language is not used everyday, but also requires logic. Instead of being sloppy with a vague sound like a sock in your mouth, you can fool it.
Xiao Ai, who is only familiar with Japanese and is learning Chinese and English, is not a language expert. Takahashi, who is native to Chinese and can speak Japanese and English, is also not an expert.
The two looked at each other and thought for a while, and decided to leave the professional things to professionals.
So, where to find professional people?
It's very simple, just look for it at the university where the two of them are.
Students who can go to such a university have a pretty good family background. Therefore, choosing a professional category is not just about making money.
There may be a little bit rare in the language experts, but there are a lot of corresponding students.
"So, you have to work hard!" Xiao Ai encouraged Takahashi.
"Why am I looking for it?" Takahashi was a little surprised.
"Because... in the drama club you joined, there is a senior who specializes in learning languages!" Xiao Ai took out a photo from somewhere and told this photo, telling the person's age, height, weight, specialties and preferences.
When Takahashi saw this information, he felt sweat beads coming out of his forehead.
Although there is usually a supporting role in the protagonist in Japanese comics, the information collected in the data of this person in comedy comics is likely to be the information of the beauty.
But... Takahashi can be sure that Xiao Ai collects these information, definitely not because she loves them.
"This..." Takahashi hesitated a little.
"Is there any problem?" Xiao Ai smiled, revealing her cute tiger teeth, which was super fierce!
"No problem." Takahashi felt that the past was well-behaved, Xiao Ai seemed to be fake.
—————
The main club activities of the drama club are rehearsals and performances. There are everything from classic stage scripts to self-created scripts by members.
Takahashi also found it interesting to see them rehearsals. He thought it would be interesting to turn the rehearsal scenes into data and input them into "The Sims".
However, when Takahashi was called in to play a role, he had no time to think.
He is going to play a teacher, an old peddler who seems to live in the first industrial revolution in Britain.
Although Takahashi has had several experiences on stage, he has only performed games on stage. For other performances, he is not a professional and does not need to do so.
Takahashi got the script and found the role he needed to perform, just like his appearance, this is a stale person.
What would a stale person look like?
Probably, it's written by the script.
Therefore, Takahashi needs to recite a long passage of lines in the script.
Takahashi sat on the small stool holding the script and began to recite silently.
Instead of complaining, it is better to start taking action immediately, solve the difficulties in front of you, break through the wind and waves, and move in the wind.
"Are you being scripted?" A voice sounded from behind Takahashi. It sounded nice, sweet but not greasy.
Takahashi turned around and saw the photo Xiao Ai showed him, which was the target he needed to find, behind him.
"Yes, senior sister, I'm memorizing it." Takahashi replied.
"Don't you know?" The senior sister's eyes flashed.
"What do you know?"
"You don't have to memorize these long lines! You just need to take the script as a prop and read it in front of the script."
"Wouldn't that be awesome reading? Will it not affect the performance?"
"How could it be? Have you forgotten the positioning of the role you want to perform? You are an old and pedantic pedantic." said the senior sister.
This senior who specializes in learning languages carries a faint perfume smell. Although it is not strong, it feels a bit mysterious.
"I understand, senior sister." Takahashi nodded seriously. When he lowered his head, he was thinking about how to talk to the senior sister about dubbing the game.
However, the senior sister misunderstood Takahashi and thought he was shy.
She laughed softly twice, took out a small box and grabbed Takahashi's hand and stuffed it to him, "This is a bottle of perfume. You can bring it into the role with the help of this bottle of perfume."
Takahashi opened the small box and unscrewed the perfume bottle lying inside. A smell between rotten wood and ink lingered on the tip of his nose.
There is also such a perfume?
