Minister Cui introduced: "What we are about to produce is a competitive game, specifically, a futuristic sci-fi theme aircraft competition game in the background of space. ”

"For example, it's like the zero level of the "Legend of the Anti-Japanese Heroes" released by our company before, which is in this context, the racing and fighting of various flying machines. It's more similar to the popular "Genesis Chariot", except that it is a chariot, one is an aircraft, one is a nuclear explosion apocalyptic background, and the other is a future space background. ”

"Of course, no matter in terms of graphics, refinement, playability, and tension, the "Journey to the Star Sea" that we are about to take over now is far superior to the "Creation Chariot" made by the woolly bear."

"So how do you make it? What are we responsible for? A tall, thin ape with a clearer mind and a quicker response asked.

Minister Cui explained: "As I said before, now that the game's dedicated engine and general framework Maple Leaf have been completed by the studio, what we need to do next is to fill in the game content. ”

He showed the USB flash drive in his hand and said, "Now this game engine with a basic framework is in this USB flash drive, and I will help you follow this engine and teach you how to use this engine and the material library that comes with it to complete the content filling work." ”

He paused, then continued, "But before you can do that, you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement. After all, the content here and the company's core technical secrets are involved, and the company has to be cautious. ”

The non-disclosure agreements were sent out on the spot.

Wu Haitao took a look, and there were hundreds of dense regulations on it.

At a cursory glance, the above meaning is very clear: it is forbidden to disclose the production plan of the game to others in any form, it is forbidden to disclose the details of the game engine to others in any form, it is forbidden to disclose the production process of the game to others in any form, and it is forbidden to ......

Various prohibitions, as well as a frighteningly large amount of liquidated damages.

However, after signing the agreement, the company will also pay 500 yuan in confidentiality compensation.

Most of the employees in the technical department are ordinary programmers, and there are no commercial espionage in them, so everyone is happy to sign this non-disclosure agreement.

Of course, no one knows if there will be people who are greedy for profit and ignore this confidentiality agreement in the future.

After the agreement was signed, Minister Cui began to personally install this so-called "special game engine" for everyone with a USB flash drive.

After more than an hour, he clapped his hands again and summoned everyone's attention: "Okay, you can also see that this engine requires a special account and password to log in, and I can also tell you that it itself is also bound to everyone's computer hardware, and it cannot be copied or transferred." ”

Then he walked to the location of the company's server next to him and pressed a switch: "Of course, in case of accidents, from now on, our technical department will officially disconnect the network and implement physical isolation of the Internet!" First, it is for confidentiality, and secondly, it is also for everyone to work harder! ”

The server is turned off, the network cable connector is unplugged, and the cabinet door is locked...... This time the Internet is really disconnected, and everyone can no longer surf the Internet and fish in troubled waters.

In everyone's desperate and sad eyes, Minister Cui continued: "This is also so good, at least the LAN can still be used, and it will not affect everyone's work!" ”

"Okay, let's move on to game development. Let's open the icon of "Journey to the Star Sea" on the desktop first! ”

Wu Haitao obediently opened the icon, but only a simple login interface with two input boxes popped up on it, so he looked at Minister Cui again puzzled, waiting for him to give him the account password.

But Minister Cui didn't speak, just went back to his seat and sat down, and plugged the red USB flash drive into the computer.

I saw him click on the mouse a few more times......

In an instant, the login screen on everyone's screen disappeared, and a huge full-screen interface appeared on the computer screen.

This interface is roughly divided into three parts, with various buttons such as [New] [Save] [Insert] [Tools] on the top, and a large blank space and a long bar below that says [Material Library].

The whole interface is densely packed with large and small buttons, which looks very complicated.

Minister Cui introduced: "Okay, everyone has seen that this is the game engine we need to use in the future development, and it is also the engine specially made for this game by our company's Maple Leaf Country Studio. ”

"Your next task is to use this engine and its own material library to make various modules of each aircraft in the game "Star Sea Journey"."

"Let me first briefly introduce that "Journey to the Star Sea" is a competitive game, and the competition in it contains two modes, one is racing, just like the interstellar highway in the zero level of "The Legend of Anti-Japanese Heroes", everyone compares speed, driving aircraft to compete for rankings in various competitions, and get rewards."

"The other is the battle, that is, everyone pilots their own aircraft, fights in various environments, becomes a survivor, and gets rewards."

"But whether it's a race mode or a battle mode, the most important thing is the aircraft in the player's hand. Like Genesis Chariot, the aircraft in our game are also assembled from various types of modules, and different modules have different uses, such as the main engine module, the secondary engine module, the energy supply module, the armor module, the main module, the weapon module, and so on. The same module, because of the different styles, performance, characteristics are also different. ”

"Take the main engine module as an example, some modules are good at instantaneous bursts, which can provide extremely high propulsion in a short time, some are good at steering and changing direction, and some advanced engines can even jump short distances to reach the target position instantaneously...... Naturally, they look very different. ”

"All these various modules are designed by you, modeled, made, tested, and finally implemented into the game."

"As for the basic process of production, in view of your current technical level and aesthetic level, I will contact a specialized art outsourcing company to determine the style of each module for you. Just like the gun module in the famous gunplay game Borderlands, the various aircraft modules in our game also have corresponding manufacturers, and each manufacturer makes a very different style of module. ”

"Is our game a stand-alone game or an online game?" Someone can't help but ask, "How can it be profitable?" ”

"Oh, of course it's an online game." Minister Cui explained: "As for the profit model, it is similar to Overwatch, mainly by selling boxes. Chests can be opened with a variety of different aircraft modules, liveries, logos, and ...... Driver! ”
