205. Limit engine

At present, the company is still in the stage of engine development, which is a long process, because it is related to the subsequent development of a game, and is the soul and core of the game.

And Xie Xiaoke does not plan to rent or buy other people's engines, because the purpose of creating this company is to create games that belong to Chinese, and there are not too many other works in domestic 3D client racing online games, and Need for Speed and the like are foreign, don't.

The development of the engine does take time, Xie Xiaoke gave them enough time, as long as this thing is done well, the rest of the work will be much smoother.

Xie Xiaoke came to the company's office area and wanted to know about everyone's recent work and know what to expect.

After a while, the leaders of the software development department and the marketing department came to the conference room, and these people are the main forces in the development of this game, and any of their decisions, as long as they do not violate the laws of the market and the hard indicators of technology, must meet Xie Xiaoke's wishes to the greatest extent.

"Manager Hao, what stage has the project been launched at present, can you roughly tell me!"

Hearing Xie Xiaoke's question, Hao Jiechao took out the information he had sorted out and recorded, and just took this opportunity to let everyone know about the progress: "At present, the game structure about the extreme moment has basically come out, and the world view is determined to be in the contemporary era, and the copy map has Shencheng, Xuanzhou, Yanjing, Shenzheng, Congqing, Hangzhou, There are more than 20 maps in Hong Kong, each copy has more than 10 levels, the player's initial level is 0, and the initial version of the launch is full level 100, the game has a variety of character skin dress-up and special effects dress-up, titles, pets, etc., the cars are all used in real-life models, the language is Chinese Simplified, and if it is pushed overseas in the future, it will be translated into other languages......"

Hao Jiechao finished introducing all the general contents, and it took a long time.

He didn't talk about esoteric things, because Xie Xiaoke didn't understand much either, and only talked about some issues that everyone was concerned about, such as the setting of values, the shortest time to upgrade from level 0 to level 100 was 2 months, the time of each game, the upper limit of the player's daily experience value, and so on.

Originally, they also wanted to sell some props through the game store to improve the player's experience and the performance of the car, but they were all rejected by Xie Xiaoke.

"What did I say at the time, the kryptonite system in the game must not affect the fairness of the game, it can only change the appearance of the character's costumes, etc., and nothing else can be changed!" Xie Xiaoke emphasized this sentence again.

Hao Jiechao was a little disagreeable and asked: "If this item is reduced, then the channels for making money in this game will be too limited!"

"It's okay!" Xie Xiaoke still didn't change his attention.

At this moment, a message from Gong Qiu Wei suddenly came on WeChat on the mobile phone:

"Mr. Xie, the team members of base FX are here to find you!"

Xie Xiaoke replied on WeChat: "Let them wait for me for a while, and I'll go over immediately!"

Then he turned off the phone screen and said to Hao Jiechao: "Go on!"

Hao Jiechao continued to talk about the general idea of engine development: "Regarding the game engine, we have a tentative plan called the design scheme of the Limit engine, and I would like to share it with you:

The first is about the car, including constant speed, acceleration, can accumulate nitrogen, can drift, it is impossible to cross obstacles, there is wear and tear in the process of form, wear and tear needs to be repaired......

The second is the character, who can walk, chat, and walk pets around the town, with different expressions, and in two postures, walking and running......

The third is NPCs, including monologues, selling props and medicines, and pressing enter to start a conversation when the character approaches......

The fourth is special effects: special effects such as spraying nitrogen, drifting, winning first place, winning, losing, etc......

It's a lot, and the engine is already in the process of being made, because this software development team is a master with rich experience, so if you really want to work hard, it's very fast.

Xie Xiaoke judged by his layman's feelings, and felt that it was still good, basically agreed with all the settings and ideas, and said to Hao Jiechao: "Just follow your settings, nothing else, you go back first!"

"Okay, Mr. Xie!"

After coming out of the conference room, Xie Xiaoke came to the reception room outside the office, and saw two strangers, a man and a woman, sitting there waiting.

Headquartered in Yenching, they are based in 2006 and have project production and management teams in Wuxi, Xiamen, Los Angeles and Kuala Lumpur. Base won three Emmys for Best Special Effects for War in the Pacific, Seaside Empire and Black Sails, and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Special Effects for Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Captain America 2.

In 2012, Base signed a strategic cooperation agreement with ILM, the most well-known film and television special effects production company in Hollywood and the special effects producer of the movie "Star Wars", and will continue to work closely with ILM's San Francisco headquarters and its offices in London, Vancouver and Singapore to produce special effects for more Hollywood blockbusters.

So far, Base FX has completed the production of more than 200 domestic and foreign film and television projects, including "Avengers 3: Infinity War", "Monster Hunt 2", "Detective Chinatown 2", "Star Wars: The Last Jedi", "Thor 3: Twilight of the Gods", "Transformers 5: The Last Knight", "The Wall", "Transformers 4", "Captain America 3", "Monster Hunt", "Star Trek: Beyond the Stars", etc.

Seeing the two of them, Xie Xiaoke seemed to see a certain day in the future, where thousands of ordinary people sat in front of the TV with their rice bowls in their hands, and watched the picture of Dou Po in front of the computer.

When Gong Qiu Wei saw Xie Xiaoke coming in from outside the door, she hurriedly greeted them and said, "Mr. Xie is here!"

The two of them stood up and turned around, and when they saw Xie Xiaoke's appearance, they couldn't help but be surprised: "So young!"

Gong Qiu Wei introduced: "This is Mr. Xie at the peak, this is Mr. Wang Xinbin, the technical director of BASE who is responsible for the post-production of "Bean Breaks the Sky", and this is his assistant Miss Yang Wenjuan!"

Xie Xiaoke shook hands warmly with the two of them: "Hello, hello!"

After making tea and sitting down, Xie Xiaoke said politely: "There was a bit of a rush over there just now, so I didn't come out in time to receive it, and I was really embarrassed to let the two of you wait here!"

Wang Xinbin said with a smile: "Where is it, Mr. Xie has done such a big industry by himself, and it is normal to be a little busy, and we are here today, and we also have something I want to discuss with you!"

Xie Xiaoke didn't know that they were coming before, this was an emergency, so he didn't know anything about it: "But it's okay to say it!"

"I don't know what Mr. Xie's budget for the post-production cost of the TV series Dou Po Sky is?"

Wang Xinbin got straight to the point and went straight to the point, because in the process of waiting just now, they had already understood Xie Xiaoke's character traits from Gong Qiuwei's mouth, so they didn't have a polite word.

To do design, planning, interactive images, etc., we generally understand the specific needs of customers in advance, such as what kind of design style, budget, etc., so as not to do useless work at that time, and this time Wang Xinbin personally visited, it can be seen that the budget cost is quite high.

"It's about 500 million!"
