Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

Those present were all well-known designers in the industry.

They are all exchanging their own opinions.

"To show off the physics engine and AI intelligence, how about making a virtual city-type game? After all, this can save a lot of development time"

"Thinking too much, on the one hand, how much of the effect of the new engine can this element show? Secondly, didn’t you pay attention to parameter resources? What can be mobilized is still limited. How much computing resources must be allocated to a huge city?"

"That's right, trying to show a vivid city consumes too many resources and is completely unrealistic."

"I think action games are quite suitable. How about something like Dark Souls?"

"It feels pretty good. Dark Souls itself focuses on BOSS battles and can display the effects of the physics engine very well. However, how to display this AI is a problem."

"Yes, the focus of the Souls series lies in the level design, which is not simply difficult. How to show that the AI ​​cannot make Guda roll, and then use the shield to reverse the player's backstab?"

"But it is definitely an action game, which can better show the effect of the physics engine."

"It’s just that AI intelligence is not easy to display."

"It also feels more suitable for FPS games. The feedback of bullet shooting on the wall is very obvious."

"But in the case of FPS, players may notice very few of these details. After all, FPS games are more about shooting content, or finding new ways to play chicken."

………………

The players at the scene were all having a heated discussion.

Different game designers also have different opinions.

Showing the effects of the physics engine is definitely the best show for action games.

But at the same time, we must also take into account the performance of AI intelligence.

After all, this is actually an image task, especially when it involves a technical competition with overseas manufacturers.

And this technology, although it has a bit of a black technology flavor.

But it's not omnipotent.

For example, the performance of the physics engine and AI intelligence in the game.

In fact, there is a resource for processing calculations.

Moreover, this new feature will be temporarily in a paid mode after launch.

Ordinary game designers can't use it because they can't afford it yet.

There was a heated discussion among those present.

Chen Xu listened to a discussion among other game designers around him.

I didn't participate too much.

It's more just a study of parameters.

There are also devices that have installed the new version of the game editor through the game committee.

Conduct a practical effectiveness test.

After having a certain understanding of the effect of the new technology, Chen Xu had a preliminary idea in his mind.

In the evening, the meeting ended, and each game designer basically left with excitement.

Next, some designers who don’t have any ideas or projects at hand have the idea of ​​starting a new project.

Some game designers are prepared to wait and see.

Chen Xu himself and Hou Yalin got together in a private room in a small restaurant after get off work.

"Any ideas for a use of the new game editor?"Hou Yalin asked Chen Xu

"I do have some ideas. If I want to show an effect of the physics engine, a cold weapon-themed game is obviously the most suitable."Chen Xu looked at Hou Yalin and said.

After hearing Chen Xu's words, Hou Yalin nodded.

This can be seen from the external display of their game committee.

A confrontation of cold weapons, attacks on various parts of the body.

Then, through physics The engine presents a corresponding feedback effect.

This is indeed the type that best demonstrates its characteristics.

"As for AI, like living cities and grand war scenes, this category is actually not very suitable."

"Because the resources consumed are too huge, it is difficult to allocate them to each character, so the quantity must be controlled."Chen Xu said.

In the past, an AI in the game was actually for each character.

There was a set of corresponding programs, which needed to be produced separately.

In a city, it seems that there are many NPCs.

But in fact, they are basically all It is shared, one or two or three, which are preset in advance.

As for new technologies, they are shared out from an overall resource pool.

But this resource has an upper limit.

Of course, this upper limit is based on the current mainstream It depends on the hardware equipment.

But here it is.

If we really want to say it, the current technology can actually support an experience of complete consciousness immersion.

But it cannot be promoted on a large scale and cannot be used for civilian and commercial purposes. This is nonsense.

Just like in the previous life, In fact, consciousness reading is not unsuccessful.

It’s just that because of the technology and facility costs, there is no way to promote it on a large scale.

"Well, you game designers are the professionals in this area."Hou Yalin nodded.

"By the way, I'm personally quite curious as to what type of game you plan to make next. If it's in the style of"Prototype", I suggest you think about it carefully, because this time it's of greater significance and something easily controversial. The game will be very strictly controlled when the time comes. Hou Yalin thought of something and reminded Chen Xu.

Cold weapons and physics engines. He was also worried that Chen Xu would develop another game similar to"Prototype of Killing".

After all, this time it is of greater significance.

"Don't worry, Minister Hou, this time it's a hunting game."

Chen Xu said to Hou Yalin with a smile.

"Hunting game, cold weapon hunting? This is pretty good, but you'd better pay attention here"

"Although there are no animal protection organizations in China, there may be some troubles overseas."Hou Yalin said to Chen Xu

"It doesn't matter, these institutions don't bother me, and the real main force of consumption is players, and no players will care about these institutions."

"Besides, the hunting objects I plan to develop a hunting game next are not real creatures such as tigers and lions, but various dragon-like creatures."

Chen Xu showed a meaningful smile.
