Chapter 440: High and Low Matching

All the games of Celadon Technology are not put out and left alone, but have a special maintenance team. These are the places where Ponsei learns next, where he needs to really understand the feedback on the game, and see the real gap between what the creators envision and what the player experience.

After Wang Bufu decided to make another game that was diametrically opposed to "Stunning Country", he began to look for people from the outside. The exchange with Pang Xie made Wang Bufu clear a new idea. He was going to set up a subsidiary to differentiate the brand.

In the future, the games launched by Celadon Technology were all launched in the name of subsidiaries to compete directly with Koreans to seize the market.

Only the real super masterpiece will hang the logo of the blue and white porcelain vase in the opening startup animation.

It's not just about cherishing your wings. After spinning off the brand, it can more accurately target different player segments and increase the value of the entire company.

The responsibility of the game launched by the main brand is to conquer overseas and set a benchmark. Big investment, big production, leading the times.

The sub-brand is mainly engaged in domestic games. There is only one ultimate goal, which is to occupy the domestic market as much as possible. Even if it is exported to the outside world, the direction is not Europe and the United States, but those places in Southeast Asia.

Two brands with clear goals have launched games with very different positioning, each standing in a high-end and mass position, while squeezing the living space of Korean games. A two-pronged approach that is more efficient.

It's easy to make a sub-brand. The office space is ready-made, and the personnel are everywhere outside. With the entire gaming industry getting impetuous, there are new teams that get invested every day. There are also disbanded teams. Recruit people in, do things first, and think about the company culture slowly.

In the gap between the personnel adjustment of the game business group, Wang Bufu is also setting up a subsidiary. Strive to complete the formation within a month and start making that low-end online game. In December, with the release of "Stunning Country", they jointly blocked the invasion of Korean games.

Wang lived up to his thoughts, and both games have core advantages. As long as he doesn't die, he can win.

The core strength of "Amazing Country" is the rich gameplay that Korean games can't match. With gameplay. This game can get quite a high status. It makes players flock to it, thinking that it is very fashionable to play this game.

The games launched by the sub-brand have network services that Korean games can match. Korean games have not accumulated in China, and there must have been many problems in the early days. The king saw their weakness. Won't give them a respite.

It should be safe this way. Wang Bu let out a long sigh of relief. The name of the sub-brand "Light Color Game" was written on paper.

The strategy is decided. His idea of defending the Chinese market and defeating Korean games is no longer frivolous. Next, it's just a matter of execution.

……

The sub-brand "Light Color Games" has been in preparation for a few days. It's almost a pattern. The personnel adjustment of the game business group is still going on, and the top two floors of the entire Celadon Building have been jingling for the past few days, and thousands of people are moving desks, changing offices, and making a mess.

At the same time, Carmack also came to China. According to the agreement two months ago, he modified the engine currently in use by Celadon Technology during this time, adding some new features specially prepared for action games. This time, Carmack also brought this patch.

Carmack flew to China, not specifically to deliver patches. Instead, the development of the next-generation "Ginkgo Tree Engine" began in earnest. Carmack is the Taishan Beidou developed by the engine, and the various parameters of this new engine are determined by him. The joint R&D team of Celadon Technology, Id Software and Villefort is also fully managed by Carmack.

Carmack's desire for control and his obsession with the R&D engine made him unable to bear to command the R&D team remotely in the United States, so he came to China in person. He plans to spend three weeks a month in China and one week back in the United States.

Wang Buyi put down what he was doing and went to receive the master first. The office space and various facilities of the joint R&D team are ready, and everything is ready to start.

In the R&D team, there are more than 150 personnel in Celadon Technology. But the technology is not enough, so you can only do things according to Carmack's ideas. With them, Carmack might come up with an idea in the morning and see the real thing in the afternoon, and it would be easy to see if he was right.

Ten years ago, Carmack did all these things alone, and if he had any ideas, he had to spend a few days before he knew if he could do them. Later, there were helpers gradually, but the progress was still slow. Now there are more than 150 of them at once, which makes him very excited. He felt that the development speed of the "Ginkgo Tree Engine" should be much faster than he expected.

Wang didn't have any expectations, knowing that making an engine is not something that can be done with a timeline. So I don't expect the new engine to be made soon, and I care more about the patch for the existing engine.

With modifications, the new patch perfectly supports third-person gameplay. At the same time, the characteristics of the action game have been adjusted, the display of action is smoother, coupled with the reasonable use of light and shadow effects, the character's movements are more realistic on the monitor.

These two are the main adjustments. More important physical effects, etc., have not been modified. That's too difficult and it takes a lot of time to pay for it.

Therefore, in the game of "Stunning Country", the player has no way to interact with the environment too much. Stones cannot be broken, and jars cannot be designed that can be broken. You can't design a ranged weapon like a bow and arrow, because you can't do a parabola.

The most serious part is that after the monster is killed by the player, the death effect cannot be calculated in real time. Each death effect must be done in advance, and it will be triggered when the monster is killed. Therefore, each monster can only do a few kinds of death effects, and more is an impossible task.

As a result, when the player is actually playing, no matter what weapon he uses or what skill he plays, there are only one or two effects when the monster is killed. Even if the effect is very gorgeous, you will always get tired of watching it for a long time.

There is no way, the technical conditions are here, although it cannot shackle Wang Buful's big idea, but it will definitely limit Wang Bubo's play in details.

Similar small details that are unsatisfactory and cannot be solved will definitely be encountered in the future. Wang had no choice but to endure it and turn it into a driving force for technological progress. When the "Ginkgo Tree Engine" is made, these problems will be solved. But new problems will still arise, which has become the motivation for Wang to continue to cooperate with Carmack to make "Ginkgo Biloba Engine V2.0".

Knowing the characteristics of the engine patch, Wang knew that although Carmack's patch was still not perfect, with this disc, "Stunning Country" could do better.

Taking the disc back to the company, Wang asked Zhou Yi to gather people to familiarize themselves with the new features. He no longer has any worries, and when the game business group is adjusted, he can participate in the game he wants to do the most.

But at this time, Wang Buyi received a call from Nanjiang No. 2 Middle School. It was Xia Ci's homeroom teacher who called, and she carefully told Wang Buyi that Xia Ci had made a hole in the school's wall.

"What?" Wang asked subconsciously. This is outrageous, Xia Ci, who is soft and weak at home, what are you doing on the school wall?

"It's true, she cut a hole in the school wall...... "The head teacher said very worriedly, and he knew it was strange, but it just happened.

Wang Buyi understood, didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly asked, "Is she injured?" ”

"There was a cut on his hand. Nothing. It's that the wall may collapse and need to be repair......ed," the head teacher said, meaning that the king would not lose money.

Wang did not understand the situation, but it was better to see is believing, and he hurriedly said, "I'll go over and have a look at it at once." ”

Xia Ci had already finished the high school entrance examination yesterday, and there were no formal classes to attend today, so it was understandable to make trouble. But throwing textbooks or something makes sense, what's the matter with the fence?

When he arrived at Nanjiang No. 2 Middle School, Wang Buyi was in the teacher's office and saw Xia Ci. She hugged a little white cat aggrievedly and was arguing: "I'm here to save Meow!" It got stuck in the wall, and I rescued her. ”

Xia Ci's left and right fingers were wrapped with several band-aids.

Luo Caiqiu was also beside her, bowing her head and being embarrassed, there were more bandages on her fingers.

"Porcelain, colored balls." Wang Bubu walked over and touched Xia Ci's head first to comfort her. No matter what Xia Ci did, Wang Buyi would protect her. Even if she does something wrong, she will not be scolded in public.

Seeing Wang Buful, Xia Ci's homeroom teacher smiled bitterly: "Xia Ci and Luo Caiqiu didn't have a class at noon today, let's hurry up and find them." When I saw them, I found that the wall had been torn down by them. Just to save a cat. ”

"No matter what damage they cause, I will compensate them." Wang Bucheng put his attitude out first. Asked Xia Ci again what happened: "What's going on?" ”

Xia Ci's nose wrinkled, holding the little white cat, and said aggrievedly: "I'm not wrong." Meowth stuck in the wall, so poor! ”

"I don't blame you." Wang Buyi looked at Xia Ci holding the cat, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. In the past, Xia Cike came up to hug his arm.

He asked Luo Caiqiu again, this girl can explain things clearly: "Caiqiu, what's wrong?" ”

"After it rained some time ago, Xia Ci and I found that a kitten was stuck in a hole in the wall. It was supposed to be the cat that got into it to hide from the rain, and it rained for a week, and it grew up in it and couldn't get out. Then Xia Ci began to feed it, and when he fed it today, Xia Ci suddenly began to pick up the wall and wanted to rescue it. Luo Caiqiu said it quite clearly.

"You're got what it takes." Wang lived up to the ridicule, and then looked at the fingers of the two little girls, distressed and funny, and curious to know what big scene these two girls made: "Take me to see." ”

When Wang lived up to the scene, he saw a big hole in the brick wall between the school and the residential area outside. The wall was made of bricks and cement, hollow in the middle, and the quality of the cement was not good. As long as a few pieces are missing, it seems that they can really be broken by hand. But Xia Ci suddenly made this play, which is still incredible. (To be continued......)
