Time Travel: 2014

After hearing this analysis, Pa/Na/Ning seemed to have gained some new inspiration, but he also had some puzzlements.

Pa/Na/Ning said: "Is this just like this? I remember that this kind of near-large and far-small effect is often used in the architectural scenes of many games. Especially when it comes to games such as castle columns and the like, this kind of near-large effect is often used. Far smaller settings are actually quite common.

Even this design is somewhat retro. "

Benito Vasilyevich said:

“It is true that many 2D games use the effect of near large and far small.

Especially when it comes to scenes like corridors in 2D games.

It is common to carry out this kind of near-large and far-small designs.

But until now, no one had thought of applying this effect to weather particles.

In fact, in the past, mobile game development involved some scenes such as weather effects.

There are few developers as serious as GRAY FOREST.

In my opinion, GRAY FOREST is an explorer with a different approach.

Such people are warriors.

And, if admittedly as we suspected.

Now GRAY FOREST has taken a road that no one has ever walked before.

Let's take the function that exists between the virtual depth value Z and the weather particles.

Suppose this function is: =F(Z)

Although we can know the specific role of this function.

But we still don't know what parameters this function specifically involves.

And even the problem of layering of weather particles has been solved.

There are still many questions that still puzzle us.

For example, why in the raining scene designed by GRAY FOREST?

There is no "blowout" or discontinuity that often occurs with weather particles in general games.

Why in the game "HILL CLIMB RACING"

Are some of the transitions involved at the beginning and end of the rain scene natural?

In addition, there are many, many problems.

In short, it doesn’t matter what others think about the merger of this game.

Anyway, I look at it from a purely technical perspective.

Although this transaction cost more than 100 million US dollars.

But it’s still not a loss.

Being able to fully understand all the technologies involved in this game will be of great help to our Super Cell future game development. "

Pa/Na/Ning said: "Don't worry, I won't waver in my determination because of some criticism from the outside world.

In fact, I plan to finalize the letter of intent into a formal contract very soon. "

Benito Vasilyevich nodded.

Just listen to Pananin continue to say: "By the way, after your prompt just now.

Although I don’t have an answer yet on how to solve the problem of particle ‘blowout’.

But I seem to have an answer to the ‘intermittent’ problem involving weather particles.

The reason why we fail to see weather particle blowouts and intermittent phenomena.

Most likely it is because some weather particles are pre-cached in the game "HILL CLIMB RACING". "

Paananen said: “Just now you mentioned that precaching some 3D scenes is very challenging for the GPU.

But precaching some weather particles basically puts little pressure on the GPU.

Through this small approach, the particles observed by the player when moving in the game scene can be smooth and continuous. "

Benito Vasilyevich echoed this sentiment.

Benito Vasilyevich continued: “I don’t think we need to worry about the remaining issues anymore.

I heard that there is a software in China called YINXIANG (audio and video).

You can hide your identity and ask some questions.

As far as I know, GRAY FOREST only plays this software.

Maybe then we can ask GRAY FOREST some technical questions in the form of paid questions.

This is much better than running around like headless chickens like us. "

Paananin: “That’s a good idea.

Hey, when it comes to game development, why does GRAY FOREST always have so much inspiration?

And I have to say that these inspirations are really good ideas.

Logically speaking, these things are not difficult to think of.

But why didn’t we think of it? "

Benito Vasilyevich: “I don’t think it’s our problem.

But GRAY FOREST is so genius.

Now I feel more and more like this game design genius.

Even if he has nothing to do with the new game development engine.

Such talents should also be absorbed into our super cells.

Just his endless ideas are amazing. "

Pa/Na/Nin knew that these words were the true words of Benito Vasilyevich.

Although Benito Vasilyevich is technically excellent, he never excludes other talents.

Pa/Na/Ning: “I also want to attract people like this.

But I’m afraid it’s difficult. It’s hard to impress people like GRAY FOREST with money! "

Benito Vasilyevich did not entirely agree with this view:

“If we can’t impress him with money.

Then we can impress him with sincerity.

We can make him an offer he can't refuse.

What if GRAY FOREST could be allowed to use all our existing resources to develop games?

We are responsible for the losses and share the profits 50-50.

I feel like it would be difficult for him to resist such a temptation!

Of course, this is just a suggestion, and it’s up to you to make the final decision. "

Pa/Na/Ning felt his eyes light up for a moment.

After all, it has only been a few years since a game company around the world has been able to produce a mobile game with an annual revenue of more than one billion US dollars and let a "quasi-newcomer" develop it on this basis.

No one would be tempted by a super IP like Clash of Clans, right?

Paananen believes that GRAY FOREST cannot resist this temptation.

However, Pananen decided to wait until the deal was completed before inviting GRAY FOREST to join the company.

Now blindly inviting invitations will be very disadvantageous in negotiations.

Walking to the window, Pananin saw the wind blowing outside.

I don’t know where this wind will go.

…

…

…

It’s around seven o’clock in the morning on the 25th BJ time.

Lin Hui woke up from his sleep, and there was still the sound of rain pattering outside the window.

Looking at the scene in the courtyard, it seemed like it had been raining all night.

The rain was still falling at this time, and it seemed that the rain was not going to stop in the short term.

Not surprisingly, June is already a rainy season.

The continuous rain made Lin Hui suddenly think of his grandfather.

Lin Hui remembered that he had encountered this kind of endless rain around his grandfather before.

Old people often have to say something like "dragons follow the rain, tigers follow the wind".

Speaking of which, Lin Hui hasn't visited his grandfather since his rebirth.

Lin Hui suddenly felt that he should spend more time with his elders.

Even though the information from past lives is valuable, it should be used in time.

But the principles passed down by older people are also valuable and often have a value that transcends time.

In short, Lin Hui feels that listening to the teachings of his elders is often helpful.

And no matter how much money you make and how great your achievements are, what’s the use of it when you’re facing life, death, or death?

It cannot be said that it is useless at all, but the role it plays is often extremely limited.

It is the greatest regret that the child wants to be raised but is not treated as such.

Lin Hui silently remembered that he wanted to spend more time with his family.
