With this support, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Getting directly involved in the technical aspects may be challenging, but directing efforts isn't hard, especially in their field.
Everyone looked gratefully at the veteran who stepped forward; he used to be the head of their small company, and after it was acquired, he became a programmer, but he still held some shares in the company.
Though the shares aren't much, it still makes him a boss, holding a higher status than the general manager.
Now, as the company is about to rise, with these shares, his future is looking bright.
Then he spoke again: "So, boss, what are the requirements for this game design?"
Client's requirements—they're no strangers to this. In the past, they would copy others, but now it's up to them. Still, some are anxious, fearing the boss's demands might be too challenging.
Anyway, even if it's tough, the subordinates will handle it.
Zhao Guang nodded with satisfaction, recognizing someone who understood the situation well.
So Zhao Guang began to speak: "First, this could be considered a Second World, but ultimately it's a game world. Life on Earth is already tough enough, so let the game world be more comfortable."
"Therefore, it's best to prepare a variety of basic material resources."
Zhao Guang thought of something and added: "Oh, and all senses here are no different from those of ordinary people, so whether it's eating or anything else, it's the same as in reality."
"Wait, don't make it too easy; we need to create some class distinction to keep them striving. Otherwise, if everyone is the same, problems will arise," said an elder on a nearby screen suddenly.
A Utopian world is a no-go; it would only lead to collective issues.
The others took notes quickly, aware that they couldn't afford to upset anyone.
"Agreed, let's do that—allow them to gain things through certain efforts, but differentiate the classes."
It seems his considerations weren't comprehensive enough, but there's nothing to be done. After all, these tasks aren't his primary focus, and much is delegated to his subordinates, so many details can get overlooked.
But once reminded, Zhao Guang understood.
"Next, I want this massive world to be stratified. If unfolded, its surface area might be bigger than the entire Solar System. I'm planning to divide it into a hundred layers, each with different worldviews and order."
Zhao Guang was contemplating the game aspect; initially, he thought of making it in one vast layer.
But later, he realized it would be odd to forcefully merge different rule sets together.
Of course, there will also be a level where everything is integrated, as some people would prefer that choice.
The audience continued to take notes without daring to interrupt. The elders weren't much concerned about these rules either because they liked such ideas.
Zhao Guang continued: "The game will include an upgrade system, but it shouldn't be too easy. Given the long lifespan, if it's too easy to reach the limit, people will get bored afterward."
"Similarly, acquiring skills shouldn't be too simple but should remain accessible, without overly restricting players as in other games. For example, with professions, I want everyone to be able to hold multiple ones."
"Moreover, there should be a wide range of professions, both those that exist in reality and those that don't. Skills should also be plentiful and detailed, but don't include overly extreme skills."
Finally, someone raised a concern: "Well, creating such a vast array of skills isn't easy."
Those in game development know too well that balancing becomes complicated once the skill set becomes extensive.
"It's alright, the core of this game has its own thinking, almost like a large AI entity. As long as the data is prepared, it can evolve and improve itself."
If not for this, Zhao Guang wouldn't feel so reassured.
The virtual world of the Otherworld is already under his control and has been validated. Since there were no issues there, there shouldn't be any on Earth, even with a larger population.
Pausing for a moment, Zhao Guang continued: "In any case, to enrich everyone's entertainment culture, collect as many materials as possible. Old legends and regional oddities should all be integrated."
The crowd looked at each other, finding it somewhat odd.
Their boss isn't clueless; on the contrary, they all know he's got great insight.
Yet, he only mentions setting backgrounds, with no technical demands at all. With any other client, this might be normal, but this is different.
"So, what about technical support? We might not have the necessary technology,"
The person who spoke earlier cautiously asked, knowing it can't be left unclarified.
Zhao Guang shook his head: "No need for technical stuff, or rather, the only requirement is to ensure proper balancing. As for everything else, just set it up and feed it into the core."
Suddenly recalling something, Zhao Guang quickly added: "Oh, and forget about expansion packs or later additions to meddle with it. Once the game begins, the core will integrate with Earth, making it untouchable."
After a pause, Zhao Guang added: "Also, for game authentication, some special talents may be given in the game for special tasks. For those present, I'm also allowing you some privileges."
At once, everyone's eyes lit up; this was no ordinary game—it was the Second World.
No, it was the First World, as their real lifespan was only a few decades, whereas here, it starts at a thousand years.
Plus, even if they die here, they can be resurrected without a cost, free to roam and enjoy.
Even the elders around were restless. They hadn't considered privilege before, as it wasn't a trend in their country, but given the chance, who wouldn't want it?
Zhao Guang gave them a gesture to calm down and then looked at everyone: "Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
"Well, since settings are the focus, technical staff might not be much use anymore. I think we should recruit some novel and scriptwriters. They might be more suitable."
