Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

"About this game, I have already played it."

"Uh-huh."

"The quality of the game, I can only say that it is quite satisfactory, and it has not fully met my expectations."

"..."

"However, I can see your efforts. It's just that you haven't come out of the inherent framework in a short period of time, but it doesn't matter. I'm here to help you. Are you in front of the computer now?"

Norman said quickly: "Wait a minute! I'll go to the computer right away."

Zhu Youxing said: "Don't be so anxious, I just asked for your email address, I will send you a link to download the file, which is the download link of the internal network, and there is also a description file in the download link, telling you How to use this thing, I think this thing should play a big role in your future game development."

Zhu Youxing personally assured that a downloaded software can be of great help to game development, which made him immediately think of the current software such as PS and CAD.

His eyes widened slightly, a little in disbelief.

Is there a special production tool for making games?

But video games are different from those software such as PS and CAD.

The functions of those software are relatively single, and at most they have made achievements in their respective fields.

And video games include the construction of the game's own framework, game animation, game music, game CG, and so on.

The game as a whole is too complicated.

If it is accurately described, the digital special effects category of the film industry is somewhat similar to the tools of video games, and the two parties can even be mixed with each other to a certain extent.

However, the digital special effects in the film industry have just started. So far, no company has been able to help all aspects of film production with only one piece of software.

But he still asked with some anticipation: "Well, CEO, I want to ask you about the thing that helped me a lot just now, isn't it the software that makes game development easier?"

Zhu Youxing did not deny: "That's right, it is such a software. I now think that such a software should play a big role in your development. In fact, we have developed this software for a long time, but It has never been used, and it is always in the process of continuous debugging, the purpose is to ensure that this thing can be more perfect."

The software Zhu Youxing mentioned is naturally the game engine.

This thing is the core and the foundation in the industrialization process of video games in later generations.

The role of the game engine is to help developers reduce the frequency of invalid duplication of work.

Sometimes the program content of some games is interoperable, and programmers have to retype the exact same code every time they develop a game. This 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 do repetitive work?

In later generations, any large game company will absolutely not be able to bypass the game engine to develop large-scale games alone.

Because the repetitive program codes of large-scale video games at that time are now geometrically improved.

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 double, and the development time will be extended by at least two or three years.

In this way, the cost will be difficult to control, which is very loss.

After receiving Zhu Youxing's affirmative answer, Norman ran to the computer almost immediately, and then turned on the computer to enter his mailbox.

In the mailbox he has seen a download link.

The filename on the download link is for a piece of software called Unreal Engine.

engine.

Calling a piece of software for developing a game an engine, which was originally used as an engine for the function of automobile machinery, this term does not seem to be wrong at first glance.

A piece of software that powers video games.

He opened his eyes slightly, downloaded the instruction file immediately, and began to examine it carefully.

"Norman? Are you still there, Norman?"

"Ah!! Sorry CEO, I was so excited that I forgot to call you."

Just now Norman ran to the computer excitedly, but forgot to make a phone call, so he quickly apologized.

"It doesn't matter, you can slowly study this thing, 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, and let this thing flourish 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 make this thing XZ strictly, but you seem to plan to make it public?"

"Why not?" Zhu Youxing asked back.

"this……"

The game engine should be regarded as one of the advantages of our company. It can reduce the cost of repeated game development and improve the efficiency of game development. Until it can no longer be concealed, it will be made public a little bit.

But Zhu Youxing didn't think about it at all.

He wishes games could be developed faster.

Hiding it like that is not conducive to game development all over the world.

And he didn't say that he didn't want anything in return if he made it public.

For this reason, he has already formulated a series of rules for using the game engine.

For example, your own company can use it for free, but the company that monopolizes its own game console needs to pay a certain basic fee, and then divide it into a percentage based on the sales performance of the other party.

If I assure them that this thing can reduce their development costs by at least 10% or even 20%, they absolutely cannot refuse.

And it's not just about monetary gains.

Zhuyouxing also intends to follow the rules of the field of electronic semiconductor chips.

In the field of electronic semiconductor chips, the few companies that have a near monopoly on technology demand real-time connections with the companies that buy their products.

Semiconductor chip companies can receive all the data on the chips made by the buying company 24 hours a day.

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 suppression from the data level.

In the future, any company that wants to enter this industry will be unable to compare with itself because of the terrifying amount of data.

Zhuyouxing intends to use it publicly, even if Su Rui Electronics wants to use it, but they must feed back 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 in this world that dominates.

This is more interesting than making that little money.
