Chapter 129: Sleepiness Brings a Pillow

Of course, the vast majority of computers that make games have very demanding configurations.

Especially the higher the image quality, the more important the configuration is.

But even so, a 20,000-piece computer is enough to run all PC games on the market smoothly with the highest special effects.

This is true even for online games.

So why is this computer so high as $100,000?

What's the difference between it and a regular computer?

The difference is huge.

Whether it's game making or anime production, there is actually one thing that takes the most time.

That's rendering.

Rendering, the final step of CG (in addition to post-production, of course) is also the stage that finally makes your image fit into your 3D scene.

To put it simply, it is to extend a series of details such as the skin and material set of an object to the entire object.

That is, coloring.

The process is very long.

Generally speaking, if a $20,000 computer takes 10 hours to render a scene, then a $100,000 computer can shorten that time to 3 hours!

Triple the time!

At first glance, it doesn't seem like much.

But you know, the rendering time of those large-scale triple-A games is measured in thousands of hours!

Even if the simplest 1,000 hours is reduced by 70% of the time, how much time can be reduced?

Seven hundred hours!

It's only 144 hours in a week, which is a full four weeks!

That's a month!

As we all know, the development cycle of many triple-A games is generally more than three years!

So why does it take so long?

Except for a limited number of game companies such as Blizzard, which mainly focus on game polishing, the vast majority of games are because rendering is too time-consuming.

And Mao Yi directly fills the configuration of the equipment.

Although monetarily, it can be more expensive.

But the effect is good.

After all, today's Bilibili must launch "Demon's Souls" as soon as possible before it can become a companion masterpiece of the national bank's Steam.

Of course, strictly speaking, even if "Demon's Souls" is made, it can only be regarded as 2A, not 3A.

But this is already the fastest way that Mao Yi can imagine.

After all, every second of delay is a huge loss to Mao Yi's agency fee.

After coming back to his senses, Hidetaka Miyazaki looked at the equipment in front of him and showed a regretful expression.

"Well, President Miyazaki, why are you not satisfied?" asked Mao Yi strangely.

"No, no, no, I'm very satisfied with the equipment, but ......" Miyazaki Hidetaka asked with a wry smile, "President Mao, can I ask you a question?"

"Uh...... You said. ”

"Will there be other games on Steam that you are talking about and "Demon's Souls" on sale?"

Mao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Yes, I thought about it before, one is a replacement version of "Warcraft 3", and the other is a high-definition remastered version of "Diablo 2". ”

"None?"

"I didn't ...... Nope. ”

"Not enough!" "Hidetaka Miyazaki said with a wry smile: "Any game platform, when it is released, will pull the game to ten, does President Mao know the reason?"

"This ......"

"And these ten games often have different audiences, so ......" Hidetaka Miyazaki shook his head helplessly.

"So it's to attract more different types of players into the pit?" Mao Yi was not stupid, so he naturally thought of the reason for the first time.

"Yes. Hidetaka Miyazaki said: "Some players like to play RTS type games, some players like RPG type games, and some players like FPS type games...... It's ridiculous that you want to make money out of it. ”

Mao Yi had a headache.

Even if you count "Demon's Souls", there are only three at most on Steam today.

Even if "Path of Exile", "Dota 2", and "LOL" are added in the future, there will only be six.

Four games are available......

The three genres are also repeated, strictly speaking, only equivalent to four games.

It's too far from ten.

It's a headache.

"Boss...... Lin Zhiling, who is the interpreter, asked, "Can I choose to buy it directly?"

"Buy directly?" Mao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came to his senses.

That's right!

Isn't it okay to just buy the game yourself?

Not to mention anything else, aren't there some original mini-games still alive?

For example, "Flash Kombat"?

For example, half a bottle of fairy vinegar "The Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes"?

However, considering that "The Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes" may be warned by Jin Yong, it may also need to buy a copyright fee.

It's the little things.

Although Jin Yong has a lot of film and television drama works, there are very few games based on his works.

The "Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes 2" series with half a bottle of fairy vinegar and the series of the same name by Heluo Studio should be the most well-known.

Heluo Studio has now been disbanded, and it is not easy to reorganize, and the other party is from Wanwan, which is also very troublesome.

But half a bottle of fairy vinegar is different.

Now, it is the period when he is active, and he will not have to leave the industry because he can't make a profit after "Jin Yong 3".

So......

His game counts as one.

And then there's Flashkombat.

The reason why Mao Yi remembers the other party is because even if the game producer who has always wanted to monetize the IP of "Flash Kombat" has been unsuccessful, he has always insisted on it, even after the next ten years, he still operates the "Flash" series of games.

It should be considered the longest-lasting mini-game team.

That's two.

That's six.

Four more games are needed.

Of course, Mao Yi's first thought was "Fairy Sword".

And then it was denied.

The reason is very simple, the phrase that there is no fairy sword after the fourth fairy sword is not a joke.

In his previous life, until Mao Yi was reborn, he did not wait for Fairy Sword Seven, and the quality of Fairy Sword Five and Fairy Sword Six was even more powerless to complain.

What if Sword and Fairy IV hadn't been released yet?

Why don't you want to go to "Xuanyuan Sword"?

As one of the two swords of Daewoo, "Xuanyuan Sword" ......

No, it doesn't.

Mao Yi has played very little about this series.

I've only played one Trace of Heaven Gaiden.

Other series......

There isn't much visibility either.

Since you plan to open up the national bank steam, it is natural to be an instant hit!

That......

How about "The Legend of the Ancient Sword"?

Mao Yi fell into deep thought.

If I'm not mistaken, the company of "The Legend of the Ancient Sword" has just been established......

Just thinking about it, Mao Yi's mobile phone rang.

It turned out to be Zhou Jingqi, who had disappeared for a long time.

"Big sister...... You're calling. Mao Yi said angrily.

"Hehe, how is it?, is it okay for the secretary?" Zhou Jingqi teased with a smile.

"If you don't say that I'm not much, I'll be angry as soon as you say it, forget it, let's talk about it when we meet. ”

"No, I heard you've been playing games lately?"

"yes. ”

"How about I give you a gift?" Zhou Jingqi asked with a smile.

"What gift?"

"A gaming company. ”

"What?"

"A newly established game company, my father and their boss know each other, their company is developing a game recently, the company's funds are all smashed in, so I found my dad, after I heard about it, I heard that you have been working on games recently, so I wanted to ask if you are interested. ”

"Which company?"

"Netelement Shengtang. ”

"What?" Mao Yi was stunned.
