For the next few months, Liu Nengdu continued to stay in Shanghai, all the while working with the game engine, which is the center of his work now.

The game engine is the core code of the game. It includes a series of content and scene management such as renderer, physics engine, collision detection, sound effects, script engine, artificial intelligence, network engine, computer animation, etc. The vast majority of game companies, especially the big ones, will develop their own game engines, but they must be self-conscious.

It can be said that the game engine is the foundation of a company and the representative of the highest technical level of the game company.

Of course, there are many commercial engines on the market, but they have various flaws and extremely high prices. For example, some game engines are not comprehensive enough, and some engines are not highly adaptable.

Liu Neng insisted on making his own game engine, and a large part of the reason was for the company's long-term development. Although it is only working on a few simple games, the most complex is "Three Kingdoms Kill OL", but in the future, the company cannot just rely on these games, but still have to go to RPG games with strong narratives. Whether a company can make MMORPG games is, in a sense, a business card that it can be called a "game manufacturer".

During this time, many people in the company have run in well enough, and the big bull is Lu Fan, who Liu Neng paid a double price to poach from Feiliu Creative Entertainment.

Lu Fan is not extraordinary at all, in a sense, he is not only a technical expert of Peacock Digital, but also a well-known technical talent in China. Now Liu Neng still remembers the scene when he met and chatted, it was a very calm spring afternoon, and the spring sun was warm and shining in from the window.

The young lady of personnel informed Liu Neng that the person who had made an appointment for the interview had arrived in the office and asked him to come over.

Resume Liu Neng has been specially seen before, it looks like the image of a middle-aged man in Si Swenwen, and there is very little personal description of himself on his resume, only a few lines, introducing his name and age, as well as the position and responsibilities he is engaged in now. But the resume is very rich, and he has been in the industry for more than ten years, even in the game industry for 7 years.

But almost every year there is a change of owner. Personnel was originally meant to pass this frequent job-hopping person directly, but because his resume is so eye-catching, when he will serve as the chief technology officer in every company and do the background investigation, the answer is also yes. In the end, I asked Wan Binglin and Liu Neng if they wanted to be invited for an interview.

After sitting down, the other party saw Liu Neng obviously stunned, "You are the interviewer?" ”

Liu Neng nodded, "Hello, Lu Fan?" ”

What Lu Fan didn't expect was that the interviewer was so young. Tentatively asked, "Am you mistaken?" ”

"That's right, I'm the interviewer, you're Lu Fan, that's right." Liu Neng was also a little strange about the raunchy middle-aged man in front of him, after all, when others came to interview, especially the suits and leather shoes that most "successful people" would wear, like that.

But Lu Fan had an embarrassing beard, wearing a horizontal shirt - at least a little more advanced than the standard plaid shirt of ordinary programmers, wearing glasses under beer bottles, and was looking at himself with a distrustful gaze, "Come on someone else, you are not qualified to meet me." ”

Liu Neng laughed, rolled up his shoulders and leaned back on the back of the chair, "What kind of qualifications do you need for an interview?" ”

"The boss or general manager of the company is about the same, how can a hairy boy come to interview me?" Lu Fan thinks very highly of himself.

Liu Neng didn't think it was annoyed, and looked at him with a smile, "Anyway, it's boring to be idle, I heard that the industry says that Lu Fan is the master Lu or Master Lu, can you ask a few questions?" ”

Lu Fan was a little impatient, "After asking, call your boss?" ”

Liu Neng made an OK gesture, "I heard that Master Lu is mainly making game engines now, I see that there are several large companies in your resume, why do you have to change jobs frequently?" Looking at the speed, one a year can be regarded as a long stay. ”

"It's not interesting to stay, and it doesn't agree with the boss's philosophy. One by one, it looks like five people and six people.,In fact, it's just a group of beasts in human skin.,Thinking about how to play with the player's psychology every day.,The most annoying thing is this kind of person.,I think that if you understand the psychology thoroughly.,The player will obediently send money.。 ”

"Games, game companies also have to be just rotten, and you can't let everyone use love to generate electricity or eat the northwest wind. But you do the technology, how do they plan the game? Isn't it enough to do it technically? ”

"You know!" Lu Fan said angrily, "The bosses are short-sighted, and instead of letting me change the underlying code, I want to design a more comprehensive game engine, from the small Snake Tetris to the game engine that RTS and ARPG can do." But these thieves always think they know something, and they point fingers at me, saying that there is no need to make a game engine so complicated to make a game. They really know a fart, after my engine comes out, it's no problem to make any games on it in the future, why can't they understand it? ”

"Oh?" Liu Neng became interested, "What kind of environment do you need?" I'll see if I can provide it? ”

"You?" Lu Fan looked Liu Neng up and down several times, and suddenly felt a little familiar, but immediately began to squirt, "You can provide a fart, don't waste my time, call your boss over, I can see at a glance if it's okay, if your boss can't do it, I'll turn around and leave without stopping." Why am I babbling with you like this for a long time, wasting my tongue! ”

Liu Neng stood up and straightened his waist, "Contemptible Liu Neng." ”

"Who?"

"Liu Neng."

Lu Fan shook his head, "I don't know, who?" ”

Liu Neng spread his hands helplessly, "The producer of "Three Kingdoms Kill OL", Liu Neng, is now the boss of Bluestar Studio. ”

Lu Fan looked the young man up and down again, and for a while, "What are you talking to me about?" Are you here for an interview? Tease me? In your twenties? The hair has grown together, and it has not ......"

"Look at you, why doesn't it make sense at all?"

"Wait? I look at you familiarly, are you the one who had an affair with Li Lizhen? , are you really Liu Neng? It's a little interesting, did Li Lizhen catch up with it? ”

Liu Neng hammered the table hard, "Brother, you have really come full circle, don't worry about the scandal first, talk about your conditions, don't waste time or not?" By the way, after entering our company, Li Lizhen is one of the bosses, you can meet often, you want to know about the scandal, ask the parties! ”

"Aren't you also a party?" Lu Fan muttered, looked at Liu Neng's face gradually changing, and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I said, I want to configure a team of at least 15 people, I want absolute autonomy, no restrictions on money, or don't dictate my work." ”

"These problems are not big, but before that, I want to make a game like this, and you need to make a simple version of the engine within half a year, which should be in line with your previous ideas. You see, if you can do it, I will give you a double salary, and everything will be treated preferentially; If you can't do it...... I have the right to treat you as incompetent. As he spoke, Liu Neng threw the game design plan of "Spore" in front of him.

Lu Fan picked it up and looked at it for a while, "The game you want to do?" ”

Without waiting for Liu Neng to say, he said, "It's a little interesting, but my salary is not low now, with an annual salary of 75W." ”

"So much nonsense......" Liu Neng rolled his eyes.
