October 1, National Day, means the beginning of a seven-day holiday.

However, in the future, Oasis has no plans to take a holiday, or no one has thought that it should be a holiday.

Aranson and Summit are already familiar with the Oasis engine development environment and the use of the development language. Both of them have received a relatively systematic education, have sufficient development experience, and the speed of getting started is still very fast.

Alanson is now focusing on the advanced application of the features in the engine, discovering some advanced features that have not yet been mastered. Like the ocean, the Oasis engine is bottomless and contains endless treasures. Summit, on the other hand, focused on the development skills of some common scenes, and made several game scenes, and the results were not bad.

I have to say that since coming here, Aranson and Summit have hardly left the house, working more than 12 hours a day except for sleeping, and their dedication is touching. The team currently has no logistics staff, and temporarily relies on Su Li to order takeout.

To Su Li's surprise, Bai Senxia also quickly got started with the use of new software, relying on a basic tutorial given by the system, in just a week, she was able to play this kind of trick and operation in the software, and tried to make several models, both in terms of quality and efficiency, far surpassing Su Li.

Sure enough, the potential score given by the system is not false, and in the face of a new tool, Bai Senxia's potential is vividly and exquisitely, which greatly exceeds Su Li's expectations.

Su Li's work is more about thinking about the specific content of the new project.

The project codenamed Project zero has not yet had a definite direction, and now more work is still to be prepared and accumulated in the early stage.

However, there are a lot of interesting ideas, whether it is from yourself or the rest of the team, after the technical implementation is not too difficult, everyone can think of all kinds of interesting things.

However, these things can be used as the highlight of the game, but they can't support a game.

On the eleventh day, although there was no holiday, Su Li still booked a high-end cafeteria for everyone to relax.

Dinner was ordered, and in the afternoon, Su Li also asked everyone to take a break, and everyone gathered around the living room, chatting while playing games, exchanging ideas about new projects, which was an informal brainstorming.

While playing a racing game with Su Li, Alanson said: "Our new project should focus on tapping the potential of physics engine applications. The current physics engine that we have in Oasis has unparalleled potential, and we have limited resources, so we need to highlight a bright spot. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the red sports car controlled by Alanson overtook Su Li's blue car with a beautiful flowing continuous corner.

"What kind of application is the application of the physics engine? Do you mean something like building bridges and cars, or something else? ”

Construction games are a popular game genre at the moment, and building bridges and cars are popular games on the Steam platform.

Bridge Building is a 2D game with rudimentary graphics, where the player uses a limited amount of materials to build a bridge that cars can cross.

Building a car, on the other hand, is a 3D game, and the fun of the game is probably how to build a car that is cool enough to drive without falling apart.

Alanson shook his head and said, "No, it's about treating the physics engine itself as a game content, not highlighting the highlights of the physics engine. ”

He paused, and said, "Breath of the Wild, for example, highlights the engine, but doesn't overshadow the content of the game itself. ”

Alanson's Breath of the Wild swept all of the game's awards last year, earning countless perfect reviews, which is a milestone in the history of the game. The game's physical chemistry engine is a highlight, fitting well with the content of the sandbox gameplay, without dominating the crowd.

Su Li nodded, he drew the physical engine enhancement module in the lottery this time, and if he didn't use it well, it would definitely be wasted. Breaking through the use of physics engines was originally one of his plans.

However, it is difficult to grasp the specific application method.

The Breath of the Wild example is actually a good example, with a good physics engine and sandbox gameplay that can reflect a high degree of freedom.

On the TV screen, the red sports car controlled by Alanson crossed the finish line first, and Su Li was defeated.

He put down the controller and said in thought, "You mean we do sandbox games too?" ”

Sandbox games are now very popular and even a concept that has become popular. Almost all games give themselves a sandbox name to show their freedom.

Sandbox games are characterized by freedom, but the overabundance of sandbox concepts has led to questions about this concept for a while.

Many games ignore the fun of the game in order to pursue sandbox and freedom.

Last year, a landmark game like Breath of the Wild reinterpreted the concept of a sandbox, showing how freedom and fun can be flawed.

Alanson nodded and said, "Sandbox games can fully demonstrate our technical advantages, there are many excellent examples of this, and we can stand on the shoulders of giants and do better." ”

Summit also said at this time: "I have done a few simulation scenarios in the past few days, compared to other game engines, our Oasis is simply an industrial revolution in the game industry, and there are so many things that can be done. ”

Immediately after that, several people began to talk about some specific applications of the engine function, such as what kind of scene can be realized, or what interesting functions can be made.

As the brainstorming deepened, Su Li also set several frameworks for his new project.

The free and open sandbox game has become everyone's consensus, and now it is necessary to consider the specific content of the game.

"We don't have good game writers right now, the plot is our weakness, and our first project is destined to weaken the impact of the plot." Su Li raised a very practical question.

None of you here are people who can write stories.

Many foreign game companies have their own plot planning, game screenwriters, or now many directly cooperate with well-known writers to write game plots.

In the future, Oasis does not have this talent now, and finding a writer to work with is not just like looking for outsourcing, there are many more things to consider.

"Yikes!"

At this time, Bai Senxia suddenly screamed, attracting everyone's attention.

While chatting, Bai Senxia has been using his laptop to scroll through the web page, which seems to be swiping various social platforms, the common hobby of many girls.

She stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed, then put the notebook on the coffee table, pointed to the screen and said, "We seem to have been stepped on, no, it should be the boss that you have been stepped on." ”
