Chapter 383: Mechanical Knowledge
Shimmer Studio, Zhong Ming's own office.
Zhong Ming put a copy of the relocation plan of Shimmer Mutual Entertainment on the table.
So far, Shimmer Interactive Entertainment has grown from a studio with only a few people to a behemoth with three large studios, a hardware company, and a live streaming platform.
Shimmer Studio specializes in high-quality games, and each game developed can cause a sensation around the world, and win awards in various game selections.
Tianji Studio specializes in bracelet games, which represents the highest level of bracelet games, and its profitability can be compared to that of many established console game companies.
This strong profitability allows Zhong Ming to make trial and error as much as he wants when making various triple-A masterpieces without too much pressure to make a profit. Anyway, no matter how trial and error, no matter how miserable the loss is, there is also the profit of Tianji Studio for him.
What's more, Zhong Ming has never lost money.
Specializing in suffering games, it represents the highest level of hardcore games and action games, and "Wolf" has successfully shown the world that although it is a game that can make people suffer infinitely, there are still countless players who enjoy it and have praised it to the altar.
Yunuo Technology focuses on the research and development of hardware devices, whether it is GS1 consoles or various simulator devices, they are constantly providing players with a new game experience.
Shimmer live broadcast has now developed into a live broadcast platform that can compete with Linghu live broadcast, although the temporary profit is not much, many times it is in the subsidy stage, but the number of active people and popularity have been growing, with the popularity of one after another shimmer games, it is conceivable that Shimmer live broadcast will continue to grow and develop.
And these all belong to Shimmer Mutual Entertainment and Zhong Ming.
So far, Zhong Ming can almost start to think about moving Shimmer Mutual Entertainment away.
To tell the truth, Huanyu Grand View is a pretty good office building, and Zhong Ming's cooperation with this side is also relatively pleasant. However, Shimmer Interactive Entertainment is no longer just an ordinary game company, and should try to create greater cultural influence.
Zhong Ming plans to move to Shimmer Interactive Entertainment, and move the three studios, Shimmer Live, and Yunuo Technology.
The specific location is still in Ming'an City. On the one hand, most of the current employees of Shimmer Interactive Entertainment are from or around Ming'an City, and if the group moves to other cities, it will be very difficult for them; On the other hand, the official of Ming'an City also attaches great importance to Guangyi Mutual Entertainment and has given a lot of preferential policies, which are really beneficial to stay here.
Therefore, Zhong Ming is currently discussing a more suitable location with the high-rise of Shimmer Interactive Entertainment and Ming'an City to plan the site selection and construction plan of the headquarters building of Shimmer Interactive Entertainment. It's still under consideration, but it should be ready soon.
Soon, the Shimmer Interactive Entertainment Headquarters Building will become a new landmark in Ming'an City and a place of pilgrimage for players from all over the world.
After reading the tentative plan for the headquarters building, Zhong Ming took out the bracelet and opened the mysterious program on it.
From the last lottery to the present, Zhong Ming has made seven games, and the points on the mysterious program of his bracelet have also reached more than 18,000 points.
During the development of these games, Zhong Ming also intermittently used some of the props inside, such as the universal retriever, music fruit, short time travel capsule, etc., for the development of new games. These are all items he has used in the past, and they are all used to assist in game development.
During this period, because of the lot of points obtained by making games, Zhong Ming also drew many prizes, in addition to the regular or common or rare rewards, he also obtained some other special items.
Among them, the most useful prop is the [Fruit of Mechanical Knowledge].
Zhong Ming has long wanted to make a speeding game, so these mechanical knowledge fruits have also been accumulated, and when he really has the conditions to develop this kind of game, he will eat them all at once.
Now, Zhong Ming's driver's license has been obtained, he has driven a flying car, and he has played many flying games in this world, and he can almost eat all these fruits.
Zhong Ming took out the fruit of mechanical knowledge from the bracelet.
The fruit looks like a large pocket watch, with gears of different sizes delicately put together, like sculptures made by some master chef.
Zhong Ming took out all the fruits of mechanical knowledge he had accumulated and ate them one by one.
Well, the taste is a bit special, always feeling a little rust and engine oil, but the taste is okay, soft.
Soon after eating the fruit, a large amount of mechanical knowledge began to pour into Zhong Ming's mind.
This complex mechanical knowledge involves many aspects, not only related to flying cars, but also some other machinery.
For example, Zhong Ming even saw the structure of heavy armored tanks, airplanes, infantry combat vehicles and other large military machinery, all presented in front of Zhong Ming from the inside out.
In the field of flying cars, Zhong Ming has gained more knowledge, including various brands of flying cars, classic vehicle models, internal precision structures and parts, the feel and handling of the vehicle when driving, and so on......
There are also some more traditional retro vehicles, that is, the regular four-wheel drive sports cars that Zhong Ming ran on the ground in his previous life, and these knowledge are also available, but they may not be used for the time being.
There are a lot of these contents, and Zhong Ming digested them for a long time before he finished digesting them all.
"It's so interesting."
Now Zhong Ming has instantly transformed into a mechanic, and if his flying car fails, he can guess the cause of the failure at the first time and investigate it. If you have the tools, you can fix it.
Of course, strictly speaking, developing a racing game doesn't necessarily require a complete understanding of the internal mechanics of the car, but knowing so much about it, it's naturally more convenient to do.
Zhong Ming immediately took out his hand-drawn tablet and began to conceive of a new device, a driving simulator.
Zhong Ming wanted to make this device for a long time, but he never had the opportunity.
Strictly speaking, compared to a shooting simulator, a driving simulator is a less technical and easier device to make.
In Zhong Ming's previous life, there were many devices dedicated to simulating vehicle driving, which were often composed of three combination screens (or VR glasses), steering wheel, gear, pedals, seats, vibration brackets and other parts, which could realistically simulate the force feedback of the steering wheel and the bumpy feeling when the vehicle vibrate, so as to create a game experience that is closest to driving.
Overall, in Zhong Ming's previous life, this is a relatively most mature and best-experienced simulation equipment, of course, it is also expensive, especially the whole set of vibration brackets, which will vibrate according to the different road surfaces of the vehicles in the game, accounting for the majority of the price.
In this world, the driving simulator is also the oldest simulation equipment, and when he was in Guangyi Mutual Entertainment before, Zhong Ming once saw it in the game room, and later bought one at his own home to experience.
And now Zhong Ming wants to make his own driving simulator, and the biggest problem he faces is not the cost problem, nor the research and development problem - these two points have long been roughly figured out by other manufacturers.
The biggest problem Zhong Ming faced was how to differentiate the driving simulator from other simulators on the market.
