Many players had this worry.
“Because they knew that dogs had their own consciousness, many players would treat them as dogs in real life. In addition, they could change their fur color and shape on their own. Everyone’s dog was different, so it was easy to develop feelings for their own dog. Naturally, they were worried about their dog’s low mood. ”
!!
“In response, the official website of oasis also explained the update for the dog. ”
“In short, although the dog’s intelligence was similar to that of a normal dog, it was limited in one aspect, which was its memory. ”
“In other words, the dog was very forgetful. ”
The reason why he lowered its memory was to prevent the players ‘inappropriate behavior from causing serious psychological trauma to the dog that could not be fixed.
“The dog’s memory was slightly worse than a normal dog ‘s. At the same time, to make up for this, the program added an additional parameter for the dog, which was “”intimacy.”” This attribute would grow with the time the player spent with the dog and would affect the dog’s behavior towards the player to a certain extent. ”
“In other words, if a player neglected the dog because of work, AFK, and other reasons, causing it to wait alone for a long time and cause a certain psychological trauma, it would be fine. The dog would soon forget about this matter. However, because of the existence of the intimacy attribute, the dog’s feelings for the player would only fade slightly, but it would not forget its owner. ”
“It sounded complicated, but in reality, it was nothing more than to reduce the time cost and difficulty of raising dogs for the players while avoiding some uncontrollable events. ”
“In addition, the officials had also made some special rules. For example, after players bought the housekeeping robot service, the robot would help to feed the dog when the owner forgot to feed it; In addition, when the players were not around, providing boarding services to the players was actually temporarily shutting down the dog’s artificial intelligence system and letting it fall into “”hibernation.”” ”
“On the surface, it seemed a little unnecessary to make this system. It could just be made according to the dogs in real life. Why did it have to adjust this and that attribute? ”
“In fact, this system was mainly prepared for the future. In the future, he would not only make harmless animals like dogs. From now on, he would have to constantly adjust the various attributes of the artificial intelligence. When he created other animals, it would be more realistic and could meet more diverse needs. ”
……
“Very soon, oasis had updated various PET systems. ”
“In terms of dogs, there were tai Ritian, Shiba Inu, Akita, Golden Retriever, sleigh three, and other dog breeds. There were even more choices for cats, such as British Shorthairs, American Shorthairs, leopard cats, Siamese cats, and so on. ”
“Of course, these pets weren’t free. They had to be bought … ”
“In terms of price, it was much cheaper than dogs in the real world. In the real world, the price of Shiba Inu was generally between 1000 and 6000 Yuan. This range was relatively loose, but the purer the bloodline, the more expensive it was. Some high-end Shiba Inu could be sold for more than 10000 Yuan. ”
“However, in oasis, the price was reduced by 100 times and only 60 Yuan was needed. ”
“As for other dogs and cats, the price was basically the same. The market price of the middle and high-end products was 100 times lower. For example, the price of Ragdoll cats was about 8000 to 15000 Yuan, while the market price of inside the Oasis was 150 yuan. The price of rural dogs and orange cats, which were relatively common, was within 10 yuan. ”
“There would be discounts in some cases, but in general, the price would not change much and was relatively fixed. After all, as a virtual product, the value of these pets must be maintained, otherwise it would seriously affect their rarity and sales. ”
“In addition to that, there were also some very troublesome pets, such as crocodiles, pythons … ”
“In theory, no matter how strange a pet was, there would still be people who would raise it, but one still had to consider how big the market was. After all, every new artificial intelligence development had a corresponding development cost. ”
“In addition, there were also some particularly precious pets that were not even allowed in reality, such as pandas, tigers, lions, golden monkeys … The market for these pets was definitely very large, but whether or not they were released still had to consider public opinion, relevant laws and regulations, and so they were not in a hurry to launch. In the early stages, cats and dogs were still the main focus. ”
“After the entire pet system went online, the players all expressed that they were dazzled by the selection! ”
“In reality, it was quite difficult to choose a pet. The number of pets to choose from was very limited. Just the time and money alone would be enough to screen out most players. ”
“Everyone knew that Ragdoll cats were cute and clingy, but basically, except for a few rich people, no one was willing to spend tens of thousands of Yuan to buy one. ”
“However, in oasis, it only cost a little more than 100 yuan! ”
“Of course, there were many problems when comparing virtual pets to real pets. The biggest problem was that they couldn’t be touched and couldn’t be established. Even if it had a physical feel, it was still different from the furry feeling of a real cat. ”
“However, there were also some advantages, such as saving time, effort, and worry. ”
“Previously, virtual pets did not have intelligence, so their appeal to players was very limited. However, the pets now felt almost the same as living creatures, so their appeal to players was greatly increased. ”
“Many people were conflicted. Should they raise a firewood, a Ragdoll, or a Husky? ”
“After all, it was a virtual pet, and the seaside mansion was very large. If he had a large dog, he didn’t have to worry about bathing it every day, so he had a wide range of choices. ”
Many players decided to just buy a few more!
“A luxury house could have a maximum of three pets at a time. One could buy a lot of pets, but only three could be released. If he wanted to release more, he would have to spend extra money to buy more slots … ”
“Well, everyone was already used to this charging strategy. Chen Mo’s free games had always been like this. He had already spent so much money on Nuan Nuan, so how much money would it cost to raise a few dogs and open a few slots? ”
“The players immediately set off a wave of buying and raising pets, and it was still showing a trend of spreading. ”
“After all, it’s so cheap, and it’s so real. It’s so good to spend a hundred Yuan to play! ”
……
……
“Soon, pet-related games appeared on the market, both domestic and foreign. ”
“The AI technology had been released to a few S-grade video game designers in the country, and big companies like Emperor dynasty and ZEN Entertainment naturally had access to it as well. It wasn’t a big deal to split a few people to make a pet game. ”
“However, the problem was that it did not work in oasis … ”
“Everyone knew that with the help of artificial intelligence, virtual pets were a new hot topic, but the problem was, who had planned this as early as Chen Mo? ”
“Oasis had been online for more than a year, and it combined most of Thunderbolt Entertainment’s game resources. It could be said that all Thunderbolt Entertainment’s players who had VR gaming pods had oasis. It was like a game’s log-in space. At this time, you told me that you had a new electronic pet. Even if it was free, the players would be too lazy to install it! ”
