Chapter 122: Aurora Game Engine

On January 8, 2015, Shinhwa Company held a press conference again, and President Li Yayan announced three news.

First, after nearly a month of negotiations, Mythic reached an agency agreement with game companies in 26 countries and regions, and these game companies will act as agents for the game of Lingyun Sword under Mythic Company in accordance with the actual local consumption level plus 30% profit sharing. According to the calculations, the total value of the 18 national and regional agency Lingyun Sword will reach $1.4 billion in total without future profit-sharing contracts.

This news surprised countless reporters, when the World of Warcraft swept the World of Warcraft, the agency fee was not much higher than the Sword of Lingyun, you must know that Blizzard, the development company of the World of Warcraft, was already famous all over the world back then, and the mythical company was just a game company that had just been established for one year. The gap between the two is so big, but Lingyun Sword, a Chinese-style game, has many game manufacturers from European and American countries vying for agency, which cannot but show that the strength of Mythical Company is not as bad as imagined.

And once the Lingyun Sword of these countries and regions is sold in their own country, game companies from other countries and regions will definitely act as agents for this game again, and the revenue of Mythology will increase greatly.

The second news is that Starry Night Game Studio, a subsidiary of Mythical Corporation, will begin to make a high-quality stand-alone game with the game engine of Lingyun Sword, tentatively named ADK.

Third, Myth will launch a game engine for all game companies, this engine is called "Aurora Engine", the performance is 10% higher than the current mainstream frost engine, and more than 30% on Unreal, all game companies are welcome to come to negotiate about the licensing of this game engine.

After these three news came out, it caused a lot of waves on the Internet, and Huaxia netizens praised the mythical company, especially about the high agency fees and self-developed laser engines, which made countless Huaxia netizens praise it.

Huaxia also has games that make European and American countries compete for agency!

Huaxia can also produce the most advanced game engine that surpasses foreign countries!

The stand-alone game produced by the mythical company must also be very powerful, and I haven't seen the game of the mythical company that is not fun!

After these news came out, it attracted the attention of many game companies, some of them are preparing to launch game projects, some of them are not of good quality and want to renovate, and some are purely interested in this game engine, and after understanding that their company has game projects in the future, they will make a decision.

"President, does our new tour also use the Aurora engine of the mythical company?"

Seoul, South Korea, NCSoft headquarters, NCSoft's deputy general manager asked Kim Taek-jin.

NCSoft began to secretly start the development of new games after the great success of Sword and Soul, but as soon as a prototype was made, Mythic Corporation launched the Aurora Engine for all game companies in the world.

This engine has attracted quite a few game companies, and it is known that more than 30 game companies have announced that they will use the Aurora engine to make new games, and NCSoft's new game still uses the Unreal Engine III engine. As a result, NCSoft's new game will be inherently inferior to other game companies' new products, and it is very likely that it will fail after the game is successfully produced in the future.

"Mythical Company has a good plan, keeping the best engines for its own company to develop games, and the inferior engines are used for sale. Not only does it greatly publicize the mythical company, but it can also get a lot of economic returns, this is really Chiguoguo's conspiracy! ”

Jin Zechen's face is very ugly, and he has no choice at the moment, either continue to develop the game with Unreal Engine III, or apply for the authorization of the Aurora Engine like Mythology. For the sake of the company's interests, he could only choose to bow his head, "You go and ask the mythical company to license the use of the Aurora engine." ”

Crytek Company, Frankfurt, Germany.

Yerli's brow turned into a Sichuan character, and he stared at the detailed report on the Aurora Engine on the table, unable to make up his mind.

Many people may not know what Crytek said, but when it comes to the Crysis series of games, known as the "graphics card killer", players who know a little about single-player games should have heard that Crytek is the game maker who developed this series of games. Many people may think that this game was produced by EA in the United States, but in fact, EA is only responsible for publishing this game and does not participate in the production of the game.

Yerli is the current president of Crytek, and Crytek is currently preparing to develop the fourth generation of Crysis, which will still use the previous cryengine3 engine according to the traditional Crysis, but the recent Aurora engine launched by a company called Mythical Network from Huaxia has made Yerli feel hesitant.

CryEngine3 is definitely a perfect fit for Crysis 4 development, and many of the company's technicians are familiar with it, making it much easier and more enjoyable to develop the game. However, Yerli saw the report of the Aurora engine on the table, and he was very shocked by the excellent performance of this engine, if it was used to make Crysis 4, it must be able to break through the previous shackles.

Thinking of this, Yerli made a feeling, and used the Aurora engine to open up a new generation of Crysis!

We may be able to develop a classic that surpasses previous generations of Crysis!

EA Corporate Headquarters in Redwood City, California, USA.

In recent years, EA has been in turmoil, starting with the departure of CEO John Riccitiello after six years, and then the departure of Vice President Jeff Brown, as well as the declining profitability of EA in the last two years, which has left President Gibeau worried.

In 2014, EA's main Battlefield 5 research and development has reached the most advanced stage, as long as it has been tried by senior gamers, it can be listed after modifying some bugs. This game EA has high hopes for it, and for this reason, it has also abandoned one of the previous main products, the Medal of Honor series of games, to create this high-quality game.

"President, here's a piece of information I'd like you to look at." The main planner of Battlefield 5 brought a thick sheet of information and put it on Gibeau's desk.

Gibeau picked up the data, only to see that the name of the data was "Detailed Report on the Aurora Game Engine of Huaxia Mythology Network Company", and his eyes narrowed. He had heard of the Aurora game engine for a long time, but Gibeau scoffed at it, he never thought that Huaxia could make an excellent game engine, but he would not think that the main planner of Battlefield 5 would come to him with a useless material, so Gibeau still looked at it very seriously.

The more he looked at Gibeau's face, the more unpleasant it looked, and if the performance data above were true, he could imagine that Battlefield 5 would not be competitive in any game of its kind, not to mention Activision Blizzard's Call of Duty 12 publicly announced that it would be made with the Aurora game engine.

"Is this all true?"

The main planner of Battlefield 5 nodded: "This data is obtained by other game companies that have obtained the Aurora engine in actual work, and it should be very reliable." Mr. Gibeau, I suggest that Battlefield 5 be put on hold and that we go back to the furnace and make it with the Aurora Engine. ”

Gibeau pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head slowly, "No, not only can't we use the Aurora Engine to remake the game, but we also need to launch Battlefield 5 as soon as possible." I believe that other game companies should not launch the finished product so soon when they get the Aurora engine, and our Battlefield 5 is still very advantageous during this period of time, if possible, we are using the Aurora engine for the next Battlefield 6. ”

Battlefield 5's main planner's eyes lit up, "Gibeau, I know what to do!" ”

As soon as the Aurora game engine of Huaxia Mythology Company was launched, it caused a great response in the global game industry, and many game companies have announced that they will use the Aurora engine to make the next generation of games, including many well-known game companies such as NCSoft and Crytek. Some game companies have even rebuilt half of the games they have already developed and used this advanced Aurora engine.

It is no wonder that the professional game information site of GameSpot.com, a subsidiary of CNET International Group, an IT information media giant in the world, exclaimed that the Aurora game engine of Huaxia Mythology Company was too tempting, so that countless game companies have given up their original game engines and adopted this new Aurora engine. It is conceivable that in the next three to five years, the international game market will be flooded with games made by the Aurora engine, and this will continue unless the game industry can find a replacement engine.

GameSpot.com editor was also particularly curious about the mysterious game engine used by Mythic Corporation, and he said in his comments that the engine used in the RPG game Lingyun Sword is better than the Aurora engine, which is why Mythic Company dared to push such an excellent game engine to the world.

In the past two or three decades, although Huaxia has tried its best to catch up with the footsteps of Europe and the United States, it has lagged far behind the West in many techniques. The country also has a lot of technologies that are not lagging behind the West, but most of these technologies are used for national defense or large state-owned enterprises, and the technologies that can be related to the common people have always been in a backward state.
