In the early days of Chinese players, most of the domestic stand-alone games they played were developed by Wanwan, and among the three domestic swords, only the Swordsman Yuan series came from Jin Toad, and the other two fairy swords and Xuanyuan swords were both from Wanwan Dayu.

In addition to these two most famous projects, Dayu also has many games and even brands that are familiar to Chinese players, such as "Cats and Dogs", "Monopoly" series, "Star Wish" series, "Angel Kingdom" series and so on.

In the mid-90s of the last century, there were three top companies in the game industry in Wanwan at that time, in addition to Da Yu, there were Han Tang who made "Yanlong Knight", and Panda Entertainment Technology Company, which was also successful on the DOS platform, and they had a series of classic games such as "West Chu Overlord" and "Journey to the West".

Ninety-five years later, a big storm came and changed the landscape of the Wanwan game industry. In fact, not only the game industry, but also the entire IT industry, the decline of dos and the rise of indos, many companies failed to successfully complete the transformation, and were eventually swallowed by this storm, declined, went out of business, and were acquired, such as Panda Entertainment.

Da Yu was also not spared, from "Sword and Fairy" in 95 to "Cat and Dog War" in 98, there have been almost no works worthy of a name in the past three years. In 98, it was also acquired by Dishuo Consulting, and generally inherited all the copyrights and liabilities of Daewoo Company, and half a year after the completion of the acquisition, it was renamed Dayu Information, which is now the new Dayu.

The Han and Tang dynasties were even more miserable, and it was not until 99 that the "Heaven and Earth Tribulation" series of the indos platform was released, and the transformation took more than four years. During this period, its name as the first of the three major domestic game companies has already been given to Zhiguan Electronics, which is the leader of "Devouring Qiankun", "The Condor Heroes", "Jiangnan Genius Tang Yin", "The Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes" and "The Legend of Martial Arts Heroes".

As well as some new forces, including Hongyu Technology in the "Wind Dream" series, as well as Odin Technology in the "Legend of the Three Kingdoms" series, Yujun Technology in the "Fantasy Three Kingdoms" and "New Peerless Twins" series, which later merged to form Yujun Odin.

It can be said that Wanwan Games has represented the highest production level of domestic games for a long time.

In 2001, these Wanwan companies jointly invested in the establishment of a company called Huanyu Star in Beijing, which is mainly responsible for the agency, sales and after-sales service of their games in the mainland.

When Ye Shenxi returned to the capital, the first thing he wanted to find was this company.

But unfortunately, he doesn't know the people of Huanyu Star, but fortunately, he knows the capital soft star.

In order to open up the mainland market and recruit more talents, Dayu asked Yao Xian and Zhang Yijun to set up a research and development subsidiary in the mainland, Beijing Soft Star, and then Zhang Yijun went to Huangpu and established Huangpu Soft Star.

In September last year, Huangpu Soft Star was disbanded, of course, the official version is that it was merged into Beijing Soft Star, and Beijing Soft Star took over the follow-up development and operation of the projects they left behind, but the actual situation is that most of the people in Huangpu Soft Star under the leadership of Zhang Yijun, deputy general manager, project producer and planning director, re-found investment and established a new company called Zhulong.

In the end, only one person joined, or returned to the capital soft star. Lu Minghui is now the chief planner of "Sword and Fairy 5", and is actually the person in charge of daily work.

In 02, he was transferred from Beijing to Huangpu to participate in the development of "Sword and Fairy 3", and six years later, after completing the development of "Sword and Fairy 3" and "Sword and Fairy 4", he returned to Beijing last year.

In the front hall of Softstar Technology, Ye Shenxi walked to the front desk with a look from east to west.

When he went downstairs, he felt that the company's address was really down-to-earth. The whole building is a seven-story small building, or a clothing company, and the name of the clothing company is also pasted on the building.

This feeling of being hidden in the city.

It is also that he has been in the online game industry for a long time now, and everyone in the online game company can make money, and the pomp is very large, and the company's office buildings are all all kinds of high-end atmosphere, full of force.

The girl at the front desk looked up at him and asked, "Hello, are you here for an interview?" ”

Ye Shenxi's age is really a bit of a disadvantage in this regard, and he is always recognized as a newcomer to the interview, like when he first came to Huangpu's own branch.

He didn't contact in advance, in addition to wanting to see the daily work status of the company that can be said to be the No. 1 single-player game development in China, he also had a bit of a scary personal taste.

"Hello, I'm here to find someone, I'm looking for Lu Minghui."

"Are you looking for Mr. Lu?" The girl looked a little surprised, probably wondering if the young man was talking nonsense and putting gold on his face.

"My name is Ye Shenxi."

"Huh?" The girl seems to have a little impression of this name, but she forgot where she saw it.

It's normal that it's difficult for the front desk of a domestic game company to know everything about the names of the bigwigs in the game industry, but she saw it in the gossip section.

By the way, the previous posts exposing the relationship between the boss of the Qingyu Network and the producer in the game forum, and there are some messy posts such as "the most handsome game producer" and "the most beautiful female boss", as if I have seen this person.

The girl looked at Ye Shenxi carefully and asked, "Do you still have a name called Pasca?" ”

"Yes. It's me. Ye Shenxi nodded.

"Ahh The girl also made a small gesture to cover her mouth and stood up: "Are you the boss of the Qingyu Network?" "I almost had to add that I'm a fan of yours, and I even used honorifics.

"It's me, I'm looking for Lu Minghui, is he there?" Ye Shenxi once again emphasized why he came.

"Yes, yes, I'll go find Mr. Lu." trotted two steps inside, then turned back and said, "You sit over there and wait, Mr. Lu seems to be in a meeting." ”

"Okay, thanks."

So Ye Shenxi sat on the small sofa at the front desk and waited, it can only be said that this sofa is also a little old, and he can still feel that the restless spring inside is a little maverick and restless on his buttocks.

After waiting for a while, he also knew Lu Minghui's temper, thinking about things in a meeting or something, he would never allow others to disturb him, otherwise he would get angry.

He could imagine the anxious look of the girl at the front desk guarding the door of the conference room.

At this time, it was only five o'clock in the afternoon, and a few people passed by Ye Shenxi in the middle, and walked to the gate, "Drip!" "Knock out, clock in.

Those employees also glanced at Ye Shenxi, perhaps out of appearance, or out of curiosity about the people who came to interview after work.

It's just that it's too casual, it's only five o'clock in the afternoon, and if you want to open and get off work at this point in other Internet or online game companies, it's really wishful thinking.

Ye Shenxi hasn't been in contact with a stand-alone game company for a long time, and he doesn't know that a stand-alone game company like Softstar is very maverick in the current domestic environment, and the research and development of terminal games is not something that can be developed in a while, so the urgency of time is not so strong. Usually, there will be overtime until 8 o'clock in the evening before the project is about to go public, and there is still overtime pay.

What's funnier is that Softstar's parent company, Da Yu, is a Wanwan enterprise, and it is more compliant with the laws and regulations of the mainland, but it is a game company in the mainland, and this kind of regulation is regarded as nothing. Most game people in China have never seen what overtime pay is.,At most, it's a little meal supplement.,Or the company helps order an overtime meal.,That's it.。

However, they rely on project bonuses, and as long as the boss of a money-making online game project is not too inhumane, the amount of bonus is unimaginable for employees of stand-alone game companies.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Lu Minghui rushed to the front, and the girl followed behind and walked to the front desk in a hurry.

"Ouch, it's really you." Lu Minghui raised his eyebrows and said with a sigh.

"Hui'er." Ye Shenxi stood up and said with a smile, that's what he used to call Lu Minghui.

"Xiao Ye, alas, no, now I have to call Mr. Ye." Lu Minghui stepped forward and patted his arm, very affectionate. Since ninety-eight years, he and Ye Shenxi have known each other for ten years, although the time they have been playing games together is less than two years, and then Ye Shenxi went to Huangpu, but over the years, he has occasionally written an email and kept in touch.

"Why did you think of coming to me, and you were so out of nowhere, and you didn't say anything first." Lu Minghui looked at Ye Shenxi from top to bottom, it was more difficult from the top, his height of one meter and seven was half a head higher than Ye Shenxi, but he also looked at it with a good look: "Tut-tut, more handsome than before." ”

Indeed, Ye Shenxi was not yet an adult back then, and he looked young, although he was mature beyond his own age in dealing with people, but where did he have such a high-minded and elegant temperament now.

"Come and see you."

", you must have something to do with me."

"Then you can't talk here, you have to invite me in and sit down."

"Yes, yes, come, follow me." dragged Ye Shenxi and walked inside.

Passing by the workshop, I saw some young people working, programming, art and planning.

Lu Minghui introduced: "This is our "Sword and Fairy 5" project team, which is very famous, isn't it. ”

Ye Shenxi nodded and said, "It's really big." ”

Lu Minghui shook his head: "It's all poor birds." ”

"So miserable?"

Lu Minghui walked up to a program, and the computer screen showed that he was piecing out the game scene with the resources given by the artist: "Look at it, the R engine made it." ”

The R engine is also a 2000 thing.,It's cheaper.,Soft star has always used this one.,The fault tolerance rate of image quality is low.,The upper limit of improving image quality is not high.,But as far as the current domestic game is concerned,It should be enough.。

It's just that the next generation of products is difficult to say, "Sword and Fairy 6" when Beijing Soft Star replaced the engine with Unity, experienced programmers have to be familiar with this new engine from scratch, encountered a lot of development difficulties, and also went a lot, and the people who stayed behind faced the new engine and started hard, and the results can be imagined.

When "Sword and Fairy 6" first came out, it was called "Titanfall 6" by players because of many program bugs.

"It's good, too." What else can Ye Shenxi say. 5610
