Near noon, Ye Lecai left from the Modu Drama Academy.

With the mentality of making a friend, he agreed to part of Han Sheng's request, that is, the graduation of the electronics major of the Modu Drama Academy will give the students priority in hiring in the corresponding positions in the interview in the future, and at the same time give them the opportunity to practice and learn on the platform and event under the Aurora Game.

This year's mid-June is not quite the same as usual, and the reason why it is different is that this year there is an additional event called the League of Legends World Championship.

This is the biggest annual tournament in League of Legends, and the World Championship is the highest honor, the highest gold content, the highest level of competition, and the highest popularity of all League of Legends competitions.

This year marks the first World Finals, also known as the S1 Finals by officials and players.

There are 13 regions around the world, and the participants are all from the top teams in each region, and only the teams that perform well in the professional league each year are eligible to participate, and each region determines its place in the Grand Final according to its size and level.

The prize pool for the S1 Finals has now accumulated to 5 million US dollars, equivalent to 12.5 million yuan.

In this life, the prize money for the champion of the League of Legends S1 Finals alone is as high as 8 million, which is more than one million higher than the championship prize of S6 in the previous life.

The prize money of 8 million is an astronomical amount for each participating team, and no one wants these bonuses to be handed over to others, so the competition between each team is particularly fierce, and almost all of them have come to Huaxia Magic Capital to participate in this competition.

There are a total of eight teams in the Grand Finals, from all over the world.

Group A: Black Flag (Huaxia), GHG (USA), Boiling Team (Huaxia), HZY (South Korea)

Group B: NSM (UK), KOG (China), PA (Germany), BNO (USA)

The last place in each group is eliminated, and the top of each group directly advances to the semi-finals.

Now it's just S1, just like the European and American teams in the League of Legends World Championship during the S1 period on the earth swept the top four in the finals, three of the top eight places occupied by the world's Chinese teams are recognized as the strongest regions in the League of Legends.

According to a survey conducted by SGP for users around the world, the most anticipated team in Group A is not the strongest Black Flag team, but the boiling team.

The Boiling strength is also very strong, and more importantly, the Boiling Club has won the first place in the World Electric Competition more than once.

Its fame has become so popular that it has gained a lot of fans in other countries.

The Black Flag team is known as the "invincible team" in China, and has never lost a single one, and has frantically slaughtered its participating teams in China, causing countless teams to be frightened, and some people even joked that if the game draws lots, which team will actually be sentenced to death if it draws the Black Flag team.

However, its roots are very shallow, and it does not have the same background and attention as the old clubs.

Group B is slightly weaker, but they are all old giants at home and abroad, and the number of supporters cannot be counted.

At this time, a plane taking off from Seoul, South Korea, is slowly landing at the huge Modu International Airport.

This is also the first time for this Korean team to participate abroad, and everyone from the team leader to the players is extremely excited.

"Is this the magic capital of Huaxia? It looks even more prosperous than Seoul. ”

"Our esports industry is heading towards spring, so the champion must be ours."

"That's right, we Koreans are the best race in the world, and sooner or later we will get the title of the number one power in e-sports."

.......

Walking out of the airport, they went straight to the hotel that the club had booked for them in advance to drop off their luggage.

After all, they are all a group of young people who are going abroad for the first time, and of course they can't sit still in the hotel.

The first thing they do after dropping off their luggage is to gather and go out for a walk.

In addition to the prosperity and large population, there is another characteristic of the magic capital, that is, there are really many Internet cafes, and they have never seen seven large Internet cafes on a pedestrian street.

The further they went to the global gaming hub, the more internet cafes crowded together, and they even saw several professional esports clubs.

Within a two-kilometer radius of the global gaming center, professional e-sports clubs are at least ranked second-rate clubs in China, and there are also some e-sports giants.

At that moment, they felt like their perception had been refreshed.

"My God, the Chinese are too extravagant. This club is actually six stories high, and it is also built in the style of an old building, which is too artistic. ”

"If you're looking at that club, it's hard to imagine how big it is, there are three floors in total, and each floor is estimated to be three or four thousand square meters! Our club covers an area of only 500 square meters...."

"Even our biggest club in Korea is only medium-sized compared to them, right?"

.......

They were entering the city like hillbillies at the moment, and they couldn't believe their eyes.

The difference between the two countries is so great that their club is just over 500 square meters, and it is a low-rise bungalow with two floors.

But looking at these e-sports professional clubs in the magic capital, they are simply inhumane, which makes them who have always thought they are the best in South Korea actually rise a sense of frustration.

It's like a small citizen showing off his 3 bedrooms and 1 living room to others, and someone else turns around and takes him to see his billionaire mansion.

"Team leader, why are there so many Internet cafes in the magic capital?" One of the players in the team named Park Sung-hoon asked.

Their team leader stubbornly explained: "Unlike our country, Huaxia has too many people, and the population of this city alone is more than 1/4 of the total population of our country. ”

"I heard that the total population of our country is not even comparable to the population of a small province of theirs, and the Internet café industry here is very developed, which may also have something to do with their population."

In fact, the large population and large market demand are only a small part of the reason, and more because the magic capital has become the center of the game industry in Huaxia E-sports and is recognized as a game mecca all over the world.

As the world's gaming mecca and the final venue for many of the world's biggest competitions, the city alone has at least 5,000 internet cafes.

Even in the magic capital, which has a very high consumption, it is only 4 to 5 yuan per hour to play games online in large Internet cafes, which is the cheapest entertainment consumption project for young people in the magic capital.

If these Koreans know the price here, they should probably cry blind, because those Internet cafes in their country with ordinary decoration and general configuration charge 720 won equivalent to 6 yuan!

The crowd continued to walk down to the prestigious global gaming center, and the moment they barely walked around this landmark area in the crowd of people, they really felt like frogs at the bottom of the well, but they always thought that Korean esports had risen and was about to surpass China, and now it is ridiculous to think about it.

Just from the e-sports atmosphere of the magic capital, you can feel that South Korea still has a long way to go to catch up with Huaxia.....

After the Korean team was so shocked that they returned to the hotel in silence, Aurora Games finally announced that night that it would pay for open source of the Sword and Spirit game engine, and the Sword and Spirit engine would be bought out and sold to global game developers from June 28.

For a long time, the game industry has been discussing the question: what are the core factors that determine the success or failure of a title? It's not about the strength of the gameplay, it's not about whether the game elements are rich or not.

What are the core factors that determine the success or failure of a work? It's not about the strength of the gameplay, it's not about whether the game elements are rich or not.

These things are important to players. However, there is only one central ingredient in this, and that is the game engine.

Ordinary players don't know the importance of game engines, in fact, without a game engine, the whole game is like a scrapped car that can't be started, just a pile of scrap metal.

As you know, the engine is the heart of the car, which determines the performance and stability of the car, and the speed and handling of the car are directly related to the driver.

The same is true for games, where the story, levels, art, music, and controls experienced by the player are directly controlled by the game's engine, which plays the role of a midfield engine, tying all the elements of the game together and directing them to work simultaneously and orderly in the background.

To put it simply, the engine is "the master program used to control all game functions, from calculating collisions, physics, and the relative position of objects, to receiving input from the player, and outputting sound at the correct volume." ”

It can be seen that the engine is not a mysterious thing, whether it is a 2D game or a 3D game, whether it is a role-playing game, a real-time strategy game, an adventure puzzle game or an action shooter game, even if it is a small game with only 1 trillion, there is such a piece of code that plays a controlling role.

Today's game engines have evolved into a complex set of subsystems, from modeling and animation to light and shadow, particle effects, physics, collision detection, file management, network features, and professional editing tools and plug-ins, covering almost all important aspects of the development process.

There is no doubt that from the moment the industry's major titles truly entered the 3D era, a successful game engine has shown its immeasurable impact on the overall quality of the work in many ways.

The price of the "Sword and Soul" game engine is very affordable, with a basic package of 200,000 yuan, and some powerful additional sub-functions ranging from 50,000 to 500,000 yuan.

But after all, he is a high-performance 3D game engine, and it costs two million yuan to run all the most high-end deluxe versions.

Ordinary people may think that this price is too expensive, but don't forget that the game itself is a cash cow, and the importance of the game engine makes sense of the price.

If you just want to make a simple game, you want to try how deep the water is in the game industry, you don't need a game engine of this level at all, and the people who really want to buy the Sword and Spirit game engine are game companies that want to make large-scale games, and this money is definitely acceptable for them.

Game developers who don't have enough funds can download the 3 free 2D game engines previously released by Aurora Games online for free.

These free 2D game engines are also classics, and one of them is the one that Fishing Guru is using.

These engines 2D mini-games are doing quite well.,2D mini-games made with this engine have become quite popular.,Many light game lovers on the earth like to play "Happy Elimination", "Defend the Radish", "Fishing Master" are made by this engine, and many girls love to play these games.

In addition to free, there are also cheap engine Aurora games that can reduce the cost of developers.

Several 2D and 3D engines with good performance only cost tens to hundreds of dollars per month.

With these game engines, it's not hard to make an online game or a single-player game that's good in every way.

Just as a game production company, Ye Le's ambition has long been unable to satisfy, he wants to become the one who controls the lifeblood of the world's game industry, so becoming the largest game engine supplier is a key step that must be completed.

No one can tell the exact number of game production companies and game developers in the world.

However, according to industry estimates, there are at least 10,000 game production companies in the world, in addition to countless independent gamers and game studios.

Hundreds of new game companies are born every year, and a large number of old game companies disappear, repeating the cycle every year.

Even if a new game company has the capital, if they need to develop their own engine, it will cost a long time and money, which is extremely uneconomical for them.

Therefore, buying a game engine directly from a well-established game company with mature technology is the best option.

One can imagine how many people will buy the various game engines of Aurora Games every year.

This price system is supported by the vast majority of people, after all, the price is very fair, and everyone has nothing to say.

In addition, when more and more game companies use the engine of Aurora Games, all types of games use the same core, which can also make players more accustomed to gameplay, and they don't have to spend too much time exploring new games, they only need to concentrate on experiencing the story and fun of the game, so that the new game can be quickly accepted by players, which is an ending that everyone wants to see.

In this society, as long as the individual knows, customized things are often several times more expensive than mass-produced things, or even dozens of times, hundreds of times.

It's because people have this idea that many people are reluctant to spend time and money to build a new game engine for themselves.

So Ye Le finally had the opportunity to rely on the game engine to gradually penetrate the entire industry, and tightly pinch the lifeblood of the industry in his own hands.
