Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

In this lecture, Zhu Youxing didn't feel much when he saw Tian Chong for the first time.

And after Zhu Youxing saw Tian Chong for the second time, he felt a vague sense of familiarity.

First of all, his appearance makes him somewhat familiar, but he is really busy at work, and some people who are not familiar with him are really easy to forget, not to mention that the last time I saw Tian Chong was several years ago.

But in the end, Zhu Youxing probably recalled Tian Chong. It seemed that Tian Chong was one of them when he first met the three Aiko, and he asked him for his autograph.

"Yes, Mr. Zhuyou, my name is Tian Chong! My father used to be a newspaper editor, and now he has resigned to become an independent economics writer for the video game industry. My father also said that he has met you several times!"

"Um?"

Zhu Youxing was a little surprised, so there is such a thing?

That's no wonder he felt that Tian Chong looked a little familiar. It seemed that it was not only because he had seen Tian Chong in front of him, but also met his father many times.

At this time, Zhu Youxing also recalled a middle-aged man again.

That was when Youxing Electronic Entertainment just started, and the video game environment at that time was not particularly good.

The TV industry is frantically suppressing video games, hoping that the TV industry can continue to prosper through suppression.

At the same time, the affiliated newspapers of these TV stations also followed the steps of the TV stations to suppress video games.

But at this time, only one major newspaper and one TV station are exceptions.

That is the Nihon Keizai Shimbun and TV Tokyo.

TV Tokyo is an affiliated company under the Nihon Keizai Shimbun, and if you want to say that you have the greatest connection with Keizai Shimbun, it is that a senior executive of Keizai Shimbun is your angel investor, the only one who has an independent shareholding so far. Once an old acquaintance of my father.

As an executive of Nihon Keizai Shimbun, he was also very open-minded about video games in the face of actual interests. At the same time, an editor named Tian Chong in his newspaper office was a rare video game fanfare at that time.

Later, Zhu Youxing met this person many times, and he felt that this person's vision was still very good.

I didn't expect that Xiaotian Chong and that person were father and son.

Zhu Youxing said: "It really is fate."

Oda Chong said: "Mr. Zhuyou, I have always dreamed of becoming a top game developer like you. Do you think I can do it?"

"This...you need to work hard on your own. I can't tell you that you can do it when I see you, but you have to work hard to prove that you can do it."

Zhu Youxing didn't intend to give this acquaintance any blood. Some people seem to never be the best no matter how hard they try. It is also related to talent.

But Tian Chongzhu Youxing can be regarded as a note, if you have a chance in the future, you can pay more attention to it.

And the purpose of his coming here now is not to reminisce with Tian Chong, he looked at the two of them and said: "Just now Tian Chong was worried that too much content in the game would cause the game's problems to increase exponentially. This worry is indeed true. It is necessary, but I can also take this time to tell you about the power of Unreal Engine now."

Zhu Youxing casually took the computer beside him and started to operate it.

"I'm afraid you used to think of Unreal Engine more as an editing tool and a relatively labor-saving game production tool, but in fact, I prefer to call this engine the industrial mother machine of the video game factory. There are quite a lot of things that the mother machine can do.”

"Meyer, you just said that you want to add the fishing function and horse racing function to the Assassin's Creed game?"

"Yes, can it be done?"

"Of course, although this has little to do with the game itself, what I proposed at the beginning was to make a rich enough world, even if some game functions may never be touched by players, but the details are in this little content piled up."

At this moment, in Zhu Youxing's mind, he recalled a game he was very familiar with in his previous life: Red Dead Redemption.

This is really a great example of an open world game.

In it you can do as many things as you can think of.

The development team of Red Dead Redemption has indeed increased the depth of the game itself while developing the game in accordance with industrialization.

This is also the direction that Zhuyouxing hopes to develop in the future.

"Actually, the fishing and horse racing systems are already built into the engine and can be called directly."

Under the operation of Zhu Youxing, the Unreal Engine seems to possess magic, and each function is called out, and then added to the framework of the big game that already has a certain prototype.

At the same time, other teams will also receive the same game frame and know that fishing and horse racing will be added to it.

Tian Chong, who was on the side, just looked at it like this, feeling as if a new world had been opened up.

He used to worry about this and that when he was thinking about game production, but now it seems that he really doesn’t need to think so much about whether it’s fun or not, first add it to the game, and then try to make the content fun, or Just make sure it's not fun and then delete it.

As for Meyer, his creativity has been greatly recognized, and now he feels inspired and wants to go back and continue to work on his new ideas immediately.

Zhu Youxing patted the shoulder of Tian Chong, who was in a daze, and said: "Don't worry about game performance or capacity issues, these are not your considerations, all you need to consider is to make this game interesting enough, because, this The era is no longer what it used to be, when developing a game, you have to search for capacity, which is probably the biggest benefit of this era.”

Then Zhu Youxing left, leaving Tian Chong alone to think.

Elsewhere, many developers have also truly seen the power of Unreal Engine.

They were really not proficient in using it before, and it was obvious that it was just a few very simple gameplay functions, but they always wanted to complete it in a complicated way, but in fact, the Unreal Engine itself can be realized in a more convenient way for you. .

Could it be that the many games developed by Youxing Electronic Entertainment can be so convenient? Can a game be done well just by being proficient in calling various functions of Unreal Engine?

No wonder Yuxing Electronic Entertainment can develop games so efficiently. The true strength of Unreal Engine is really beyond imagination.

In addition to being amazed, they also began to seriously study Unreal Engine. They really underestimated Unreal Engine itself before. A guy can compress other people's eight hours of work into one hour or even less, which is simply incomparable.
