Chapter 42: Achieving "Height" in the 2D Engine

"Sister Liu, how is the progress of the 2D engine now?"

After talking to Chen Tiancai, Chen Jiayi came to the Tang Dynasty network.

"At present, 70% of the progress is complete."

More than 50% of the work has been completed before, and after coming to the Tang Dynasty network, the members of [***] will work and devote themselves to this engine. After all, when I was in school before, there were some other tasks. In addition, the budget has been tight, and the progress of development has slowed down a lot. Moreover, after coming to Linchuan. When Chen Jiayi is free, he will also provide technical assistance to this engine team from time to time, which also greatly shortens the development time.

"Well, that's enough."

Chen Jiayi calculated the time, and the remaining 30% of the progress did not take too long.

"Take me to see it."

The first online game of Tang Dynasty Network is naturally a 2DRPG game. For the current engine capabilities, it is sufficient. However, in order to completely start the name of the Tang Dynasty network, Chen Jiayi wanted to make different transformations to this 2D engine.

"Okay."

Subsequently, Liu Sichen took Chen Jia to the research department of the Tang Dynasty network 2D engine. At this time, the members of the engine team are constantly working hard. Even when Chen Jia arrived, he never stopped. Chen Jia nodded secretly when he saw it, but just glanced at Liu Sichen with appreciation, and did not praise it in words.

The two came up behind a staff member. This staff member is testing the animation of the game engine.

"Hello, can you let me experience it?"

At this time, Chen Jiayi asked in a whisper.

"Absolutely."

The staff member heard Chen Jia ask, and then moved out of the way. Chen Jiayi sat down casually, playing a role in the game.

At present, Tang Dynasty Network is focusing on the engine and has no plans to develop any games. The characters and maps that appear at this time are just to test the game's actions and templates. Basically, you don't need to read the instructions, take out the mouse, and you're ready to go. About ten minutes later, Chen Jiayi shook his head.

This engine can be said to be relatively good in the market in 2000. However, this engine was thrown into the market and did not reach the point of blockbuster. Chen Jiayi has a very strong ability to hype up the game, but he didn't worry about the engine. It's just that at present, Chen Jiayi's plan is to build Tang Dynasty Network into a boutique game company that belongs to China and the world. At the beginning, I didn't dare to say that it was Blizzard, but I must walk in this direction.

What Chen Jiayi has to consider now is to make a name for himself as a boutique when the Tang Dynasty Network has not developed any games. Once the player has identified the quality of your high-quality products, it will be very, very great to help the Tang Dynasty network in the future. This is what Chen Jiayi has deeply experienced after playing games for decades.

Seeing that Chen Jia shook his head, Liu Sichen frowned slightly, "Mr. Chen, what's wrong?"

"Nope."

Chen Jiayi shook his head and left the computer. Then, it came to another employee.

"Xiaoqiang, how is it, have you encountered any problems in the current development?"

Xiaoqiang's surname is Zhou, and he is the youngest member of the Jiaotong University team, only 23 years old, but his skills are the strongest. At present, Zhou Xiaoqiang is responsible for the research and development of the entire 2D engine. Since everyone is familiar with each other, they usually call him Xiaoqiang.

"Except for a few big questions raised to Mr. Chen last time, basically until now, I haven't encountered any problems."

When joining the Tang Dynasty network, the members of this group roughly described the problems encountered in the development of 2D engines to Chen Jiayi in recent years. And Chen Jiayi also solved the problem that is really difficult for them to solve at present. Although there are a few unsolved in the back, it's not that Chen Jia can't solve it, he just doesn't want these employees to lose their creative surnames. If you find someone to solve any problem, how will you develop a game in the future?

"Since I don't, I have a few questions."

Chen Jia straightened his mind, and then said to Zhou Xiaoqiang, "You say, how about adding a height to this 2D engine?" ”

"Height?"

Zhou Xiaoqiang didn't understand, and then blurted out, "3D!" ”

2D is a plane, and there is no such thing as height in a plane.

"No, no, no, we're only developing 2D now, I'm talking about achieving his height on a 2D engine."

For the Chinese Internet market in 2000, even if a 3D engine could be developed, there was no need for it. Because, the network bandwidth at this time is far less than that of later generations. Even if you develop a World of Warcraft and get it to operate in China, you can still hit the streets.

"On the 2D engine, achieve height?"

Zhou Xiaoqiang thought hard about it, and in the image, the laboratories on the European and American sides seemed to be studying this technology. It's just that this kind of technology is already the top in the world, and there is no information on this in China at present.

"I don't know if what Mr. Chen mentioned is perspective technology."

At this time, Zhou Xiaoqiang replied.

"Yes, it's the perspective technique."

If you want to achieve height on a 2D plane, you can only work on the visuals. This is because the height shown by perspective technology is not really the height on a 2D plane. Just like the future 3D movie, you look as if you're there. But in fact, he is nothing more than using the 3D principle to deceive your eyes.

"If perspective technology is introduced into the 2D engine, then this height can also be achieved."

Zhou Xiaoqiang can understand it at one point, although he doesn't know how to achieve this perspective technology, but he still knows the effect of perspective after perspective.

"Our Tang Dynasty Network is ready to introduce this perspective technology into our engine, what do you think?"

"Mr. Chen, our side ......"

Zhou Xiaoqiang rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed.

This perspective technology is regarded as an important technology in foreign countries, not to mention in China. And the perspective technology that Chen Jiayi mentioned, Zhou Xiaoqiang and others could only be helpless.

And just when Zhou Xiaoqiang was embarrassed, Chen Jiayi took out a USB flash drive. Then, it was quickly plugged into the USB port of the computer. Looking at Zhou Xiaoqiang, who was puzzled, Chen Jiayi said, "In this USB flash drive, there are detailed perspective technology principles and actual game operations, you can take a look." ”

"Ah......h

Zhou Xiaoqiang couldn't believe that this legendary technology actually appeared in Chen Jiayi's hands. Seeing that Chen Jiayi opened the USB flash drive, his hands shook involuntarily.

In fact, not to mention now, even in 2009, even with the use of perspective technology, China has been applied to online games from perfect time and space. Other domestic game companies have not mastered it. It can be seen how valuable this perspective technology should be.
