Chapter 161: Historical Materials

Light Wing Entertainment.

Yu Kangyu was very unhappy.

"I asked you before, do you need to transfer Zhong Ming to other projects, keep bonuses, and get promoted to appease you, you said no, now it's okay, such an excellent talent has been lost, who is responsible?!"

Director Bai bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, it's my responsibility." However, Zhong Ming did not reveal to anyone that he was participating in the virtual idol competition, including Director Xie, and he left the founding studio immediately after winning the first place in the competition. ”

"And as far as I know, several companies such as Xinghua Mutual Entertainment and Guna Entertainment have also thrown olive branches to Zhong Ming, but Zhong Ming has not accepted it, and he has not even sold the copyright of the character of Xia Naer, which shows that he is not a target who can be bought with interests."

Yu Kangyu was silent for a moment, and he also knew that what Director Bai said was indeed right.

"That's also a brain drain ......"

Yu Kangyu was very annoyed, because Guangyi Interactive Entertainment is very short of people in terms of virtual idols, especially the lack of such top design talents!

A virtual idol is not just a virtual singer, she has many other uses.

For example, developing games in the image of virtual idols, holding concerts, advertising endorsements, and so on.

Especially in the development of games, the combination of some popular story IPs and virtual idols can often create a good spark. This truth is the same as Zhong Ming's previous life, many traffic movies and TV series liked to use small fresh meat, for that face and that group of fans.

And Guangyi Mutual Entertainment has always been weak in the field of virtual idols, Yu Kangyu has replaced many people in charge for this, but none of the people in charge can make a popular virtual idol!

But the matter has come to this point, and Yu Kangyu has nothing to do.

Regardless of whether Zhong Ming made up his mind to start his own business, or suffered uncomfortable treatment in Guangyi Mutual Entertainment, in the final analysis, there must be a problem here in Guangyi Mutual Entertainment. But it is impossible for Yu Kangyu to stare at every link from recruitment to the project, sometimes his subordinates are not effective, and he, the president, has no other way than to be angry.

"What is he going to do when he sets up a studio? Virtual idols? Yu Kangyu calmed down and asked.

Director Bai replied: "No, according to himself, he wants to develop an indie game by himself. ”

"Indie games? It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Yu Kangyu was very surprised, "Okay, I know." ”

Director Bai said: "Mr. Yu, I actually want to report to you today about the data problems of the new version of "Endless Learning". ”

"Oh. Go ahead. ”

Director Bai sent the electronic version of the relevant data directly to Yu Kangyu with the bracelet: "After the new version was launched, the sponsors who cooperated with us were more satisfied with the changes, especially the part of the resurrection problem. However, there has been no obvious increase in popularity for the time being, and the hot search of the new version of the million-dollar coins has also been bought, but the response has been mediocre. However, considering that we mainly rely on sponsors to make money, the impact is not great at present, and we can continue to promote it. ”

"I bought a hot search and the response was mediocre......"

Yu Kangyu's brows furrowed slightly, and he smelled a hint of something bad from this matter.

In the past, when Zhong Ming pushed the million-dollar coin section, being on the hot search meant that a topic effect was formed, and the change in popularity could be clearly seen from the number of answers the next day. But now I bought the hot search but the response was mediocre, is it because ...... Is the heat fading? Players' interest gone?

"Keep pushing." Yu Kangyu said.

……

Under Zhong Ming's Weibo, many people left messages.

Some people are looking forward to Zhong Ming's upcoming indie game.

Someone advised Zhong Ming not to die, indie games are too risky, don't think about eating a fat man in one bite, and take the road step by step.

Some people also expressed their disbelief, feeling that Zhong Ming's path was crooked, and it was better to continue to develop virtual idols than anything else.

In short, most of the fans are expressing concern.

in the studio.

Zhou Sen has set up the intranet, and now he can upload modifications and update documents and resources to the intranet, and there is also a simple open-source testing platform to record bugs in the game.

Jiang Wanna's side came up with a simple prototype of the studio logo, the theme pattern is a burning flame, but it is not a specific image, but a relatively abstract texture composition, half gold, half red, and there are five art words "Shimmer Studio" next to the logo pattern.

Zhong Ming also put forward a lot of suggestions for this logo, and I think it is feasible, but it needs to be further refined in the future.

Zhou Sen finished the work at hand, and turned his head to see Zhong Ming looking up information on the Internet.

"Historical information? Uh, ancient history? And the history of World War II? ”

Zhou Sen was a little surprised, and he didn't know if the information was related to the new game.

In this world, the history from World War III to the end of the intellectual machine crisis is called modern history, and the history before World War III is collectively referred to as ancient history.

Of course, this name is a bit strange for Zhong Ming, because he himself has become accustomed to the set of historical views that use the industrial revolution and the institutional revolution as the division criteria, and it is awkward to call World War II "ancient history".

However, for people in this world, World War I and World War II are indeed very distant words.

Zhou Sen just glanced at it, and didn't ask, just said his own thing: "Zhong Ming, what engine should we use to make our game?" ”

"This game can be made with Mcs2D." Zhong Ming replied.

"Oh, okay."

Zhou Sen went directly to download the Mcs2D engine.

There are many game engines in this world, each with different characteristics.

Mcs2D is an entry-level popular game engine, itself an open-source framework, and its three biggest advantages are: free, free, and free.

Of course, there are some other advantages, such as stability, ease of use, special optimization for portable mobile device environments such as bracelets, and so on.

The disadvantage is also very prominent, that is, it is basically difficult to make 3D things, so its name is also clearly written, it is called Mcs2D, a game engine specializing in 2D games.

A similar game engine can be seen as a complete set of development tools, including the editor, and choosing the right game engine can help save costs, shorten development time, and mainly reduce some unnecessary workload for programmers.

Although this engine is not high-end, it is more commonly used. Although it is basically not used by large companies, most indie game makers, including some newcomers who have not been in the industry for a long time, like to use this engine as their first choice.

Zhou Sen is also an experienced program, so he is naturally very familiar with this engine.
