"About this game, I have already played it."
"Mmmm."
"The quality of the game, I can only say that it is quite satisfactory, and it did not fully meet my expectations."
"..."
"But your efforts I can see it, it's just that you haven't come out of the inherent framework in a short time, but it doesn't matter, I'm here to help you, are you in front of the computer now?"
Norman said quickly: "Wait! I'll go to the computer right away."
Zhu Youxing said, "Don't worry, I just ask your email address, and I'll send you a link to download the file, which is the download link of the internal network, that download link. There is also an instruction document in it, telling you how to use this thing, I think this thing should play a big role in your future game development."
Zhu Yuxing personally guarantees that a downloaded software can have a great impact on game development. Help, which made him immediately think of the current software such as PS and CAD.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a little in disbelief.
Is there a special production tool for making games?
But video games are not the same as those PS, CAD and other software.
The functions of those software are relatively single, and at most they have made achievements in their respective fields.
Video games include the construction of the large frame of the game itself, game animation, game music, game CG and so on.
The game as a whole is too complicated.
If accurate, the digital special effects category of the film industry is somewhat similar to the tools of video games, and even the two sides can be mixed with each other to some extent.
However, digital special effects in the film industry have only just started. So far, no company can use only one software to help all aspects of film production.
However, he still asked expectantly: "Well, CEO, I want to ask you what you just told me was very helpful, wouldn't it be software that would make the game easier to develop?"
Zhu Yuxing did not deny: "That's right, it's such a software. I think this kind of software should play a big role in your development. In fact, we have been developing this software for a long time, but we haven't used it all the time. It's a constant debugging process, the purpose is to make sure that this thing can be more perfect."
The software Zhu Yuxing said is naturally the game engine.
This thing is the core and foundation in the process of video game industrialization in later generations.
The role of the game engine is to help developers reduce the frequency of ineffective repetitive work.
Sometimes the program content of some games is interoperable, and programmers have to re-type the exact same code every time they develop a game, which is really a waste of energy, and the programmers themselves will doubt themselves during the development process.
Am I a cutting-edge technical white-collar talent, or a robot that can only repeat labor?
In later generations, any major game company will never be able to bypass the game engine to develop large-scale games independently.
Because the repetitive program code of large video games at that time is geometrically improved today.
If there is no game engine, to develop a video game equivalent to Red Dead Redemption in the previous life, it is estimated that the number of developers will be doubled, and the development time will be extended for at least two or three years.
In this way, the cost is difficult to control, and it is very loss.
After receiving a positive answer from Zhu Yuxing, Norman ran to the computer almost immediately, then turned it on and entered his mailbox.
In the mailbox he has seen a download link.
The filename on the download link is a software called Unreal Engine.
engine.
There is nothing wrong with calling a software that develops a game an engine, which was originally used as an engine for car mechanics.
A software that powers video games.
He opened his eyes slightly, and immediately downloaded the instruction file and began to check it carefully.
"Norman? Norman, are you still there?"
"Ah!! Sorry CEO, I was so excited that I forgot to call you."
Norman ran to the computer excitedly just now, forgetting to call him. So quickly apologized.
"It doesn't matter, you can study this thing slowly, I hope it can help you, this thing is also an experimental nature, I also hope that this thing can help more people in the future, so that this thing can be carried forward all over the world. Norman said in surprise: "
CEO, if this thing can speed up the efficiency of game development, it must be a super artifact. Normally, we should take this thing strictly, but you seem to be planning to disclose it to the public. "Why not ?
" Zhu Yuxing asked back.
"This..." The
game engine should be regarded as an advantage of its own company. It can reduce the cost of repeated game development and improve the efficiency of game development. This is already an amazing thing. Under normal circumstances, at least it will be hidden and used first. After three or four years, until it is impossible to hide it, it will be revealed to the public a little bit.
But Zhu Yuxing didn't think so at all.
He hopes the game can be developed faster.
It's totally unfavorable to game development all over the world to hide it like that.
And he didn't say that he didn't want anything in return when he made it public.
To this end, he has already formulated a series of rules for the use of game engines.
For example, its own company can use it for free, but a company that exclusively owns its own game consoles needs to pay a certain basic fee, and then divide it into a percentage based on the sales performance of the other party.
If they promise them that this thing can reduce their development costs by at least 10% or even more than 20%, they absolutely cannot refuse.
And it's not just a monetary gain.
Take Yusei also intends to follow the rules in the field of electronic semiconductor chips.
In the field of electronic semiconductor chips, the few companies that have almost monopolized the technology will require real-time connections with companies that buy their own products.
Semiconductor chip companies can accept all data on the chips made by the buying company round the clock.
According to them, this is to help users use their products better, and through continuous optimization of data, they can form a terrifying order of magnitude suppression from the data level.
And any company that wants to enter this industry in the future will be unable to compare with itself because of the terrifying amount of data.
Zhuyouxing intends to use it publicly, even if it is used by Suri Electronics, but they must feedback all usage data in real time, so that they can optimize the game engine itself faster.
Let this game engine do better and better, and finally become the only game core that dominates the world.
It's more interesting than making that little money.
