Chapter 323: Make a Monitor
The success of "Interstellar Tinder" has also benefited a lot from the GS1 console and the Shimmer live broadcast platform.
For now, the GS1 console has just hit the market, with good initial sales, and with a fixed player base, the future will definitely get better and better as there are more and more games on the Shimmer gaming platform.
At present, the Shimmer live broadcast platform can only be regarded as an auxiliary function of the Shimmer game platform, although it is far from reaching the volume of other live broadcast platforms, but as an important functional supplement, it has started well.
Tang Ying's own fans basically seamlessly switched to the Shimmer live broadcast platform. Of course, these people usually go to Linghu Live to watch other programs, but they will only open the Shimmer game platform when Tang Ying broadcasts live.
Relatively speaking, the Shimmer live broadcast platform has an advantage over other platforms, that is, there is basically no cost for the audience to change platforms.
According to the general situation, the anchor that the audience likes jumped from platform A to platform B, and some die-hard fans may download the APP of platform B, or go to watch it when the broadcast starts, but they still watch the live broadcast on platform A most of the time, and it is difficult to convert into the audience of platform B.
But the audience does not need any cost from other live broadcast platforms to Shimmer live broadcast, because Shimmer live broadcast and Shimmer game platform are originally the same software, even if most players do not watch the live broadcast, the game platform is still on the computer and bracelet. I usually receive a plane ticket, and when I see that my favorite anchor is on the air, I can immediately switch to Shimmer Live.
Moreover, the current model of Shimmer live broadcast is still based on mining new anchors, there is no crazy phenomenon of burning money, the audience is not small, and it is still accumulating, whether the anchors can stand out and get more money depends on their own performance, it is a dynamic salary, not a dead contract, and the anchors are full of motivation.
For Zhong Ming, the hardware has taken a solid step, and the live broadcast platform here can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold.
The situation of the elite controller is even better than that of the GS1 console, and the fighting gamers, management simulation gamers, and heavy gamers are ...... Most of the host parties with similar needs have all purchased elite controllers, and the reviews are very good.
Zhong Ming's recent layout can be said to have met his expectations.
At the same time, on the side of "Xuanjia Project", some new situations have emerged.
……
Since its launch, "Xuanjia Project" is expanding at a very rapid rate, and in the early days, it was only popular on the live broadcast platform, and after a few months of development, this craze has burned to the world.
Shimmer Studio announced that the number of active players of "Xuanjia Project" has successfully exceeded one million, which means that it has become a well-deserved hit game, and the position of the king of FPS games of "Road of the Gun God" is already in jeopardy!
Players joked that GS1 and "Xuanjia Project" were originally intended to destroy GAME OMNI, but accidentally destroyed "Gun God Path"!
GAME OMNI is embarrassing, although many of the designs of GS1 itself are better than GAME OMNI, but GAME OMNI has a first-mover advantage after all, and the game library is larger than GS1, but GS1 can't help but directly monopolize "Xuanjia Project"!
Later, Shimmer Studio announced that the GS1 console could be directly dismantled to play all Shimmer Studio's games, so that the status of the two emulators was reversed at once.
But DPD, the maker of GAME OMNI, is not the worst, the worst should be "The Way of the Gun God". The popularity of this once the world's hottest FPS game on the Internet and live broadcast platforms has been fully crushed by "Xuanjia Project", and it is already a sure thing to be surpassed and replaced, the only problem is time.
Before, many people were not optimistic about "Xuanjia Project", thinking that although this game is a lot of innovation, it is uncertain whether the life of the gameplay can support it long enough. But the current popularity has shown that "Xuanjia Project" can completely replace "The Road of the Gun God"!
Of course, the main players of "Xuanjia Project" are still concentrated on the PC side, after all, the threshold for the simulator is too high, and it takes more than 10,000 to get started. However, the popularity of the PC side has further led to the emulator side, and many local tyrants are buying it one after another.
……
Yunuo Technology.
Lin Xiaoguang is in a good mood, because so far, all the products launched by Yunuo Technology have sold very well!
GS1 emulator, GS1 host, elite controller, the market competition for these three devices is very fierce, especially the host and controller, which belong to the field that is about to be rotten. It is a miracle that Yunuo Technology can gain a foothold in the field of both the host and the handle.
Of course, Lin Xiaoguang is also very clear that Zhong Ming's game plays an extremely key role in this.
The GS1 emulator has the escort of the big killer of "Xuanjia Project", the GS1 console ported all the classic games of Shimmer Studios, and the unique design of the elite controller itself makes it stand out from the crowd of controllers, coupled with the supporting facilities of the GS1 console, it is reasonable to sell well.
"So, Mr. Zhong, what are we going to do with our next product? I think the driving simulator has a trick up its sleeve and can be considered. Lin Xiaoguang said.
Zhong Ming shook his head: "Well, the driving simulator is not in a hurry first, it's a bit too early to make a driving game." ”
"So what are we going to do with our next hardware? Handhelds, bracelets, audio, peripherals, etc., we can do them. ”
Zhong Ming thought for a while: "I want to do it...... Display. ”
"Monitor?" Lin Xiaoguang was stunned for a moment, "What's there to do with the display?" ”
"It's not a regular display, it's a holographic projection display." Zhong Ming said.
Lin Xiaoguang understood.
The technology of conventional displays in this world is very mature, and the TV with a large screen is only sold for a few hundred yuan, which is simply the price of cabbage. When Yunuo Technology developed GS1, it had already customized the display, which was the 360-degree ring display, and it didn't cost much to make it.
So, regular monitors really don't have much to do.
For now, holographic projection technology is an emerging field.
For example, the Chanel version of the smart module with holographic projection technology, and the holographic projection mode of the bracelet are all applications of new technologies.
At present, holographic projection technology is still shifting from the experimental stage to the civilian stage, and the bracelet manufacturers have a more sensitive sense of smell in this regard, and "City Guard Battle" is the world's first game that is popular under holographic projection technology.
But at present, in the field of hosts, there are not many applications of holographic projection technology.
The reason is simple: traditional display technology is too mature.
For the bracelet, because it is a portable device, it is supposed to simulate the screen through projection technology, and changing the flat projection to holographic projection will have a leap in the player's visual experience, and the bracelet manufacturer will of course rack its brains to study.
But consoles are different.
Because the conventional monitors in this world are very cheap, and the super-large screen TVs are sold for the price of cabbage, most people play console games connected to the big TV in the living room. On TV, these games can be played in extremely high quality, with every single strand of the character's hair clearly visible and the frame rate is extremely smooth.
Consoles don't need to think about portability, so game development is basically high-spec.
Although holographic projection technology is also developing rapidly, it is not so mature compared to traditional display technology, if it is only to display part of the content on the bracelet, or to project a virtual idol or the like, then there is no problem; But if you zoom in on a wall, the clarity and smoothness are completely incomparable to traditional displays.
Therefore, most hardware manufacturers will not develop holographic projection technology on the host, because the picture not only does not improve, but regresses.
For these, Lin Xiaoguang is very clear, and Zhong Ming should also be very clear.
At present, there are so many hardware manufacturers in the world, and the holographic projection technology on the bracelet is getting better and better, but there are no manufacturers to do holographic projection equipment for PCs and hosts, which is enough to explain the problem.
But since Zhong Ming brought it up, he must have his own ideas, so Lin Xiaoguang didn't ask much, and quietly waited for Zhong Ming's next words.
Zhong Ming explained: "Holographic projection displays will definitely be a hot spot in the future, so my idea is to occupy a place first. Imagine what a huge market it would be if holographic projection displays were to develop to the scale of conventional displays in the future. ”
"Moreover, the holographic projection mode is also obvious to the gaming experience, and the bracelet game can prove it. In the past, the bracelet game was flat, but after changing to the holographic projection mode, the realism of the game has been greatly improved, as evidenced by the success of "Dawn Era" and "City Guardian Battle". ”
"At present, the only obstacle to the application of holographic projection technology in the field of the host is that its display accuracy is not as high as that of traditional displays, but this can be compensated for by some means."
Lin Xiaoguang was stunned for a moment: "Make up for it by some means?" How can that make up for it? ”
He was a little confused, this fatal flaw can also be made up?
The thing I'm going to do now is a monitor!
For a monitor, the clarity is not enough, and the smoothness is almost there, so can this monitor have other advantages? ?
Zhong Ming smiled: "It's very simple. The holographic projection display shows a three-dimensional image, which is far better than the traditional display; In terms of smoothness, overly complex and frequently switched scenes will make the picture a little dragging and stuttering, but as long as the scene is well planned, there will be no problem; In terms of clarity, it is better solved, and it can be completely covered by the game's art style. Mr. Lin, do you know that there is a thing called 'cartoon rendering'? ”
Zhong Ming explained, and Lin Xiaoguang roughly understood.
In short, it is to use the characteristics of the game itself to make up for the lack of the monitor.
Can it be compensated? Lin Xiaoguang didn't know, but looking at Zhong Ming's appearance, he was obviously full of confidence.
"Okay, then I'll study the holographic projection display, we can try to make an engineering machine to see, even if it is not successful, it can be regarded as enriching the product line." At least this product is very gimmicky and well advertised. Lin Xiaoguang asked, "Do you have a general idea of price and size?" ”
"The price, it is better to control it within 2000, not too expensive. There are no special requirements in terms of size, just be as big as a smart module, and it doesn't need to be too small to consider portability. ”
Lin Xiaoguang nodded: "Okay, I understand." ”
The new device was designated as a "holographic projection display" and was officially put on the development agenda.
Lin Xiaoguang roughly recorded Zhong Ming's thoughts, and how to design the specific product still needs to be repeatedly confirmed by the technicians of Yunuo Technology.
……
After leaving Yunuo Technology, Zhong Ming returned to Shimmer Studio and continued to deal with other work.
"This is this month's list of banned accounts, with a total of 150,000 accounts and device codes blocked. Boss, do you still have a look? Fu Xing'an asked.
Zhong Ming shook his head: "Don't look at it, you can be responsible for these things in the future." ”
After the popularity of "Xuanjia Project", it also encountered the same problem as other FPS games, that is, plug-ins began to appear.
Although technology has advanced, plug-in technology is also innovating at the same time, and it is almost impossible to cure plug-ins at the root. But after all, technology has advanced, and it is difficult to cure cheats, but the speed of detecting cheats is faster.
After the popularity of "Xuanjia Project", the number of accounts banned every month has also shown a growing trend. Shimmer Studio has always had a zero-tolerance attitude towards this, as long as it is opened, it will be permanently sealed with the account and the device code, and after the computer's device code is banned, the computer will never be able to play "Xuanjia Project" again.
But even so, there are still a small number of plug-ins active, but the impact is controlled.
However, the appearance of plug-ins on the PC side has objectively caused another unexpected impact, that is, the ejector version of "Xuanjia Project" is even more popular!
The GS1 itself is a highly enclosed device, and players can't install software inside it, and they can't do anything other than download the game on the official Shimmer gaming platform. The device can be cracked by some more complex means, but it will be detected every time it is connected to the Internet, and it will become bricked directly after the detection is found, which is much faster than the PC detection plug-in.
Therefore, basically no one will bother to crack the GS1 open, the loss is too great to bear.
Players also know that there is no way to eradicate the fact that there are plug-ins on the PC side, after all, "The Way of the Gun God" has been popular for so long, and the plug-ins have not been cleaned up, and the blows of Shimmer Studio's plug-ins are very strong, and the game environment is okay, and players have no complaints about it.
But after all, many players will always feel that the other party is a plug-in as long as they lose, so many people simply go directly to the GS1 emulator to play.
On the live broadcast platform, this phenomenon is even more obvious, the top anchors of "Xuanjia Project" are basically playing the simulator version, and the new anchors who can get ahead are basically playing the simulator version.
Because the audience knows that the anchors who play the simulator must not be open, it is a real level, and the live broadcast effect of the simulator version is also better.
For a combination of reasons, many players have found an interesting phenomenon.
Now the most popular anchor is not in Linghu live broadcast.
Because Tang Ying jumped ship and went to Shimmer live broadcast.
