Number One Game Designer

Fang Xi’s carnival adopts a charter similar to that of E3, similar to the order of master first and follower, because Fang Xi announced that this is not Hongyi’s official first carnival, the official first Hongyi carnival must be It will not be held until the Hongyi headquarters in Beiyang City is completely completed. Before that, Hongyi's carnival in Haifang City is actually just an experimental hot spot.

Therefore, in this carnival, Hongyi's participating games are not comprehensive. Apart from Hongyi's Eternal and Assassin's two major brands, the other important participating games are actually "Infinite Starry Sky". , "GTA" that European and American players are concerned about, "The Origin of Everything" that is concerned by East Asian players, and "Left 4 Survival" that many players are concerned about and the follow-up of "PUBG Mobile" have no news of participating in the exhibition, which makes some players very anxious.

Even at the meeting, some players directly asked about the news, and Fang Xi's reply was simple:

"The company has its own considerations, but these are the company's wealth, and there is a wealth of follow-up content, but it is inconvenient to disclose it now."

Very bureaucratic answer, but the players can only stop here, what if they are not satisfied? After all, it is Hongyi's game in the final analysis. If you are not convinced, you should learn programming by yourself and then apply for a job at Hongyi to do it yourself. This is the answer of most Hongyi fans.

In order to escape, Fang Xi even threw out another message:

"What I can tell you in advance is that our Hongyi has already established a new game. It is a game written by Mr. Lu Tao. It focuses on asymmetrical competitive games. Why don't you talk to him about it?"

As soon as he said it, it really worked. At that time, Lu Tao was immediately overwhelmed by the players.

Now that three days have passed, the content that Hongyi needs to exhibit this time has almost been displayed, and the rest is the stage for other companies and producers who came to participate in the exhibition. This is also what Fang Xi promised in advance. A carnival event", the ancestors said well, if you want to take it, you must first give it. Now Fang Xi wants these companies to be willing to contribute to Hongyi's carnival, the first thing of course is to give them a chance to show off.

In the matter of making games, although Boss Fang thinks that the current pricing of 3A games is not healthy, it needs to be explained that the current games are not only 3A games, 3A games are a big gamble, betting on the vast majority Funds, enthusiasm and energy are exchanged for a high-quality game, which will either sell well and become famous, or fail miserably and lose everything.

Although the gamble of 3A is very exciting, for most game producers and individuals, 3A is just a dream, and most people still need to consider things like cost performance when making games.

To put it bluntly, from Fang Xi's current point of view, after the first three days belonging to Hongyi, most of the game productions exhibited on Zhu stage can only be described as crude, even if he does not have the golden finger of the death server, He's also confident that he can replicate most of the games shown on stage by himself.

This is probably how games are played by ordinary people, for whom making games is not only a hobby and hobby, but also a job to support their families. Therefore, for individuals and small workshops, short, flat and fast is their theme. To achieve a balance between efficiency and quality, and to produce games without affecting the game experience as much as possible, this is the game for most people.

And looking at Fang Xi, he found that even if he gave up the main stage, the biggest winner seemed to be himself. While watching the game show, Fang Xi manually memorized it. Of the eight games shown on the main stage in the morning, seven of them used They are all Qingluan's engines. This engine Fangxi uses a semi-free strategy like the U3D in the previous space-time. The more the game is sold, the higher the usage fee will be. The only price is that there must be the Qingluan engine logo at the beginning.

So although there are eight different games on the scene, seven of them have the same stick figure of a phoenix at the beginning.

It is the symbol of Qingluan Engine, it is simply a living advertisement of Hongyi.

The only game made by the only remaining small company still uses a small engine. Fang Xi saw the word "Lihuo" at the beginning, which seems to be one of the rare domestic self-developed engines.

However, for the eight similar games, the differences caused by the different engines used are simply obvious at a glance. Fang Xi, who uses the "Lihuo" engine, just glanced at it and shook his head.

To put it bluntly, the core of the game engine is the algorithm and architecture. Different engines often have different emphases, so you need to be more careful when making small games, because Hongyi’s Jinghong engine is more comprehensive and good at character modeling. Optimize the algorithm, but many games made by small companies do not need very comprehensive functions. For example, some games produced by individuals have outstanding graphics, but the advantage of the engine lies in the texture. Another example is the Jinghong engine and its strong dynamic sound. The rendering module can simulate the corresponding sound according to the physical structure of the game scene and the distance, but in fact, independent producers may only want to make a 2D breakthrough game, so this function is completely tasteless for them, and it will increase for nothing. Power consumption only.

The reason Boss Fang shook his head was because he could tell at a glance that the advantage of the "Lihuo" engine should be the processing of depth of field.

The scenery around the characters in the game is naturally realized through the computing power of the CPU. Thanks to the on-site AR display, Fang Xi was very keen to find that there are obvious sawtooths in the shape of the plants at a distance from the game characters. The farther away the more blurred, this is actually a computing-saving architecture. It is a very smart design to half-process the distant scenery so that the player's perspective will have a sense of hierarchy, and it can also save resources.

However, there is nothing to say here.

But the game produced by this company is a 3D adventure game with a cartoon style, Boss Fang is already complaining in his heart, you need a crazy depth of field for a cartoon game!

Boss Fang appreciates this algorithm for semi-processing secondary scenes to save resources. This is a very clever algorithm, but it is also a function that many independent producers do not use at all. This is like selling Hagen in Shaxian snacks. Like Dazs, diners in Sha County feel that it is too expensive and not worth it, and most diners who want to eat Haagen-Dazs will not go to Sha County to buy it. In short, it is embarrassing.

And Fang Xi can also guess the fate of this small engine, not to mention the domestic, Qingluan engine is now dominant in the world, so these small engines that are not free can only try to find opportunities to display, and only the Hongyi Carnival I saw it the other morning, and the other seven used the Qingluan engine. This Lihuo engine became the best stepping stone for Qingluan. Most days are not easy to do.

But this gave Boss Fang a chance.
