In fact, if you really have to admit death, it is impossible for a game to be made by all Chinese. For example, the operating system used to develop games, the electronic components used to develop computers, etc., are all not realistic to be made in China.

But Celadon Technology is now regarded by everyone as the hope of the revitalization of domestic games, and it can take a step forward, no matter how much effort it takes, it must go one step further.

So even though Zhou Yi knew that there were many commercial engines abroad that could be used after buying, he did not persuade Wang to bear it.

"How is this team managed?" Zhou Yi asked from the perspective of the operation officer of the business group.

"You pick a supervisor and put the team together first. Experience in 2D engine development is preferred. Wang said.

A 2D engine is not a hard thing. But how the 3D engine should be developed, Celadon Technology, including Wang Buying, does not know. It's not a matter of building a team and waiting for a year or two to produce results.

Wang Bu thought for a while: "In this way, when the ARPG game engine is optimized, I will ask Villefort if I can jointly develop a common engine with them." ”

Villefort will also start developing the "Origin" engine in about 02 and 03. In 04, Villefort used this engine to produce "Counter-Strike: Origins", even if it was 14 years old, it was not far behind. Villefort's engine development capabilities are absolutely second to none in the United States.

Wang Bufu knows very well that it is unrealistic to say that if you throw money and motivate you, you can start from scratch and build an engine. Now that he's working with Wilfort, and everyone has a good impression of each other, let's give it a try. If it can be done, Wang will send the engine team to the United States to learn experience and technology.

When it is said that it is joint research and development, it is just a good thing to say. Wang is ready to pay 80 to 90 percent of the R&D expenses, or even bear all the expenses.

Zhou Yi wrote it down, and of course he would not object to this plan. Celadon Technology will have engine research and development technology in the future, and future games can be done with their own engines, and everyone will have a lot of confidence in their hearts.

……

The six-person engine team stayed up all night to optimize the engine for a single scene mini-game, and carefully checked every source code. Then it was handed over to Wang Buying.

The prequel mini-game is finally ready to be made.

Wang asked the six people to go back to sleep, and when they came back to work, they would take over the work at hand and join the engine R&D team directly.

The six people were all sleepy, and they were all stunned when they heard the words. Their heads were all wooden, and they didn't know what was going on.

One of them had the same hair as a chicken coop, which must have been scratched last night. The employee asked, "God, are we going to be transferred to a new department?" What for? ”

"R&D engine. In the future, I'm going to make games with my own engine. Wang did not bear to explain.

"2D or 3D?" The promiscuous employee was stunned.

"It's definitely in 3D. Perhaps, in the future, game companies all over the world will use our engine to make games. The king encouraged them and said. Since he wants to do it, he has to do it well, he is ready to spend all his money, and the employees also have a little heart.

The six employees became excited just by thinking about the scene. However, the difficulty of making a 3D engine is very high, and it is not on the same order of magnitude as 2D. "We also wanted to make a 3D engine before, but unfortunately the difficulty was too high and the technology was not enough. Now let's do it, can we do it? ”

Wang Buyi said: "You don't have to worry about this. After New Year's Day, I was busy with the game box, so I tried to see if I could cooperate with European and American manufacturers to carry out technical cooperation. You also learn from experience. If you really can't do it, you will spend money to poach people. ”

Wang Bucheng really doesn't believe it, there is something that can't be done with money. In addition to Villefort, there are also EpicGames, which can choose to cooperate.

After the new 3D engine is made, Wang Bucheng will open it to domestic manufacturers for free. After the game is made with this engine, he takes a cut of the sales.

If Celadon Technology doesn't do this, then no one will do it. It's going to be 01 soon. Discrete graphics cards are becoming popular, and new computers are getting more and more powerful. There will be more and more well-made 3D games in Europe and the United States on the market. Domestic manufacturers that widely use 2D engines will become more and more backward in technology.

It also makes domestic games in terms of picture quality, there is no generation difference with European and American games. Wang lived up to his thoughts.

After deciding on the engine, Wang still has something to do, and he has to design three playable characters in the prequel mini-game.

Wang lived up to the purpose of designing these characters, which is to let players pretend to be playing big games, click the mouse, and relax after work.

As for the playable role, how to design? It's like a serious role-playing game.,There's a blood bar.、There's a blue bar.,If you're hit by a monster, you'll deduct blood.。 Or do you want to be a dragon and be arrogant, close to an invincible state, chop, chop, chop, chop?

Wang lived up to himself as a reference, and felt that it should be made into the second type.

After all, the prequel mini-game is not really a large-scale game, and if the difficulty is high, no one will necessarily level up in it. The settings of health bars and blue bars are completely things that affect the player's operation.

White-collar gamers are not elementary school students. They don't have time to play big games, not that they haven't seen how games should be played. They were tired to death, and they wanted to change their brains in the mini-game, but they had to pay attention to the amount of blood or something, and they couldn't release their skills from time to time, so who would still operate the character.

But if he really made Jackie Chan Aotian, Wang Bu felt very chicken. With it or not, what is the effort to make? Wouldn't it be nice to empty your head and watch the bow tower with a hat shoot arrows? Why waste your fingers?

Wang Buyi always felt as if he had missed the point and ignored something. Playable characters should not be used as mascots, but should take on more important tasks in the prequel mini-games.

With a deep thinking about "Plants vs. Zombies", Wang Bubu thinks from the operable role itself this time.

Give the player something actionable, what should he really encourage the player to do? Is it to compete, or is it ......

Compete!

Wang Bucheng felt that he had finally caught it.

Online games in general, have social features. Teaming and PK can be seen as an extension of people-to-people interactions in real society. This is not the case with the prequel mini-game, where the king is not prepared to let players play against each other because of his own preferences.

In the prequel mini-game, confrontation is not optional. The interaction between players is only competition. Wang Buful's previous setting of a "same IP ranking" is to arouse the competitiveness among players in terms of cultivation content.

This can also be used in operable roles. Wang Bu Bu remembers that there will be a game in the future that will carry forward the competitive element, that is, "Happy Farm".

One of the highlights of that game was stealing vegetables from each other. The "vegetables" in the Happy Farm are regarded as a kind of resources that compete with each other, and there are also in the prequel mini-games. Isn't that the spirit that drops after the orc dies?

Wang didn't slap his thigh, and the operable role is not a chicken rib now. Players can manipulate them to kill orcs in other players' castles, rob monsters and grab experience!

Wang did not live up to himself, and felt that it would definitely hurt to kill orcs with operable characters under his own home, because everyone knew in their hearts that even if they didn't operate the characters, the orcs would be shot to death by the defense tower. Players clicking the mouse are just a waste of time. So I can't lift my energy. The reason why this play point is originally chicken ribs is here.

And what about manipulating the character to run to someone else's house? For example, Wang Bubu quietly ran to Zhou Yi's city, and cut down the orcs in the waka kaka, and if he could cut one, he would definitely be able to turn the sky upside down. Because every time you kill an orc, it's nothing to earn a little more, the key is that Zhou Yi has a little less.

"Porcelain doesn't think that her guardian spirit is possessed by unspeakable evil, right?" Wang Buyi was suddenly shocked.

This setting uses the player's psychology of "harming others and benefiting themselves". Wang Bucheng feels quite happy, compared to the kind of online games that sell malice, this design is more to stimulate the player's bad taste.

It's like pulling someone's clothes back during a race. It's not a big deal. Xia Ci shouldn't be disgusted, right?

Wang Bubu decided to ask her opinion when he went to pick up porcelain porcelain today. If the porcelain porcelain does not agree, Wang Buyi will simply give up this play.

This point of play may not be useful, but Wang Bucheng continues to design. His bad taste is bursting, and after setting the player to operate the character to go to someone else's house, the system will leave a record for others: "XXX helped you defend XX minutes today, please go and thank him." ”

If anyone sees this message after going online, they will still be angry. Don't say it, hurry up and go online, and operate the characters to go back to the scourge!

In this way, all of a sudden, the players' unwillingness to admit defeat came up. It's like people in online forums scolding, at first they just argue with each other, and then the more they talk, the more they go overboard, and the things they discuss are obviously twisted and turned, and they don't stop talking.

The prequel mini-game must be the same, you get me all at once, I have to get you all at once. Who would give up the game halfway, and they will definitely go online when they are free.

The more Wang thought about it, the more excited he became. If this play point is put in, the tower defense will be overshadowed, but it is an operable role that he just regarded as a chicken rib, and it can shine!

He had seen the craziest time of Happy Farm. Players seem to be crazy, and even set an alarm clock in the middle of the night to steal other people's food and collect their own food. The ones who have the most fun are those aunts who especially like to take advantage of small advantages.

Wang Bu recalled the scene he visited Yunrun a few days ago. Most of the networked computers are concentrated in the departments of human resources, sales, and accounting. Women are overrated. For example, Wang Buwei tested the speed of the Internet and used the computer of a middle-level cadre to download the game box. The middle-level cadre was a woman in her thirties.

Even if those women are highly educated and well-informed white-collar executives, can they endure this kind of game that can take advantage of others?
