Chapter 21: Not allowed in, you know?

After almost a full day in the game review team, by the time Leon left the Penguin Building, the sun had already set.

With two laptops on his back, Leon walked towards the subway station.

These two laptops were bought by him yesterday, the low-end notebooks of the Shenchuan brand, more than 3,000 units, which were installed with the game "Mountain and Sea Battle" that had just been produced, for the Penguin company to test.

But since no formal agreement has been signed yet, Leon took them with him when he left. After all, although Penguin is one of the top Internet companies in China, it has a very famous "bad habit", so it is necessary to guard against people, and it is better to take it away for the sake of safety.

As for why he chose the notebook of the Shenchuan brand, because Li Ang still has a good impression of the brand of the Shenship. At least better than some have a Midi conscience, a notebook-shaped omelette, and a hermit-level after-sales ...... Other brands with such reputations are much better. Moreover, relatively speaking, at the same price, the hardware configuration of the Shenchuan notebook is also higher.

And the choice of a notebook with a low-end configuration, Li Ang has also thought it through, he has 500,000 on hand, it's not that he can't afford to buy those top-of-the-line gaming laptops, but if he wants to show the game to others, especially to show the optimization level of the game, it is more convincing to choose the low-end configuration.

Just like some foreign 3A masterpieces, if it is run on a low-end configuration, or some old hosts and laptops, it will be stuck step by step, making people feel like they are watching a slide show. Even if you turn off all the effects, it's not much better. Besides, with all the special effects turned off, is the 3A masterpiece or the 3A masterpiece?

Of course, if you are on a top-of-the-line game console or laptop, such as a four-way Titan or something, the graphic expression of the 3A masterpiece is still very shocking. However, how many people are willing to spend 10,000 or more to upgrade their computer configuration in order to play a game?

The high requirements for hardware are also one of the reasons why the top stand-alone masterpieces cannot be popularized on a large scale on the computer side.

Just like "Silver Bear", its game optimization is very good, even if it is an old machine from four or five years ago, it can run the game very smoothly. And even some laptops that don't have a discrete graphics card and can only rely on the core display to display images, as long as the special effects are turned off, "Silver Bear League" can run smoothly, and turning off the special effects itself will not have much impact on this game.

Quite simply, the more machines the game can adapt to, and the lower the configuration it can adapt to, the bigger the market it will occupy!

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

It's the same in the gaming world!

Game optimization is a very advanced science.

Game optimization not only includes support for low-end hardware, but also includes bug removal, fluency improvement, impact feel improvement, operation feedback immediacy improvement, graphics and music material invocation program acceleration, and even server optimization and so on.

These are not simply a few codes that can be solved, but also involve the optimization of the code itself! It requires a very high level of technology!

The same game character sends out skills, and calls the skill effect module to show the skill effect in the corresponding direction, some companies may need thirty or forty lines of code, while some companies only need twenty lines of code, and the dozen or so codes saved may only improve the time of a few tenths of a second, but this is the embodiment of technical strength!

In terms of the game, the player feels that the skills of this game are sent out more smoothly, while the skills of another game seem to be a little stiff. Why are the grades of "Silver Bear Alliance" and "300 Silver Bears" different, it is in these places!

And trying to reduce the original thirty or forty lines of code to more than 20 lines, or even less, is not something that everyone can do. This requires a long period of technology accumulation and capital investment. It's like a veteran programmer who has specialized in special effects material calling programs for more than ten years, and a young programmer who has not graduated long and has not had a few years of work experience, the difference in their strength is huge.

And like Millican, like Palm Company, they have countless top programmers who specialize in a certain field, and they have countless programming skills, simplification skills, and optimization skills that are only disseminated within the company. These programmers, these skills are not generated out of thin air, this is from the birth of the Internet, from the birth of programming languages, the whole country has accumulated for decades, decades of heritage!

This is something that other countries, such as Huaguo, where the Internet industry has only developed for more than ten years, do not have!

But fortunately, Leon has a third-order super artificial intelligence lifeform, and even if it only uses existing programming technology and does not use anything advanced, it has achieved the best level of game optimization. It's even better than the game optimization of Silver Bear!

To put it simply, in the case of better graphics than "Silver Bear", the requirements for computer configuration are also lower!

You know, the number of units in "Mountain and Sea Battle" is far more than that of "Silver Bear Alliance", if you hit the late stage, you can even gather hundreds of soldiers and horses on both sides, and if the two armies are decisive battles, all kinds of attacks, all kinds of skills, all kinds of damage, and all kinds of actions need to occupy a lot of CPU computing resources, which is also very likely to happen, and even the game is stuck.

Only perfect game optimization can make such huge battles smoothly displayed on low-spec computers.

Sitting on the subway home, Leon smiled.

Although this day is dry-mouthed, it is also rewarding, at least, he has reached a basic cooperation intention with Penguin, and after signing a formal cooperation agreement in the next few days, he can officially cooperate.

The time given by the aliens is only three years, and according to Leon's plan, it is still very tense. Therefore, even if he gives up some of his interests in the cooperation agreement, Li Ang must let the game be launched as soon as possible and make money as soon as possible.

That's one of the reasons he chose to work with Penguin.

He has third-order artificial intelligence in hand, and he can build his own server, operate it by himself, and earn more profits. But game operation is a very troublesome thing, publicity, holding activities, player communication, feedback processing...... All of these require a lot of time and manpower investment, and it is necessary to formally establish a company and hire relevant operation personnel.

Most importantly, you need to invest a lot of money upfront.

And Leon now only has 500,000, which is completely insufficient to build a complete operation team.

Of course, Li Ang can find the help of capital, use this "Battle of Mountains and Seas" in his hand as a bargaining chip, and exchange a part of the company's shares for a large amount of money, not to mention an operation team, a whole company can be established.

But Leon didn't want to! Not at all!

His past experience made him not allow a little capital to enter his company and affect his creation of games!

In Leon's view, the game is holy, sacred! He will not allow the slightest trace of dirty capital to come into contact with it, to defile it!

As for the cooperation with Penguin, he can occupy the dominant position, just like the proxy game, he will only provide Penguin with limited background permissions, such as discounts on treasure chests, discounts on skins, etc., and will not allow them to make even the slightest modification to the game itself.

It's like when "Silver Bear" was first represented by them.
