Chapter 8 Customization
A large number of video updates have dizzying the game, from novice teaching, to the use of various tools, to comprehensive explanations of difficult problems. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just that this kind of video is destined to only cause a little bit of a wave in the circle of gamers, and after they download it, there are not many opportunities to really use it.
At work, there is the company's self-developed engine. Outside of work, they are all occasionally hands-on, and there are very few people who really study it. And a lot of individual developers have started to dig deeper, and they just love making games, and this behavior is purely for fun. It's rare to see an engine that you can fully learn by watching a video.
However, Zhao Ming faintly felt that the actions of Yidong Technology were not simple, and behind this kind of loss and earning, there were generally big moves. And this kind of big move, is it something that the new entrant to this industry can control?
He was absent-minded at the meeting in the morning, and Liu Yu, the general manager of the game branch, had already seen his uncertainty. After the meeting, Zhao Ming was simply left.
Liu Yu closed the meeting notes in his hand and threw Zhao Ming a cigarette. said: "Lao Ye went to Jiangcheng a few days ago and came back and resigned. ”
Lao Ye is Ye Yang, and Liu Yu was in charge of different projects with Ye Yang at that time. In the same company, there are few opportunities to meet.
"How do you know?" Zhao Ming felt a little weird, how could this kind of personal travel be mastered by them.
Liu Yu took a deep puff of cigarette, exhaled and said: "Our big boss is a stingy person, when Lao Ye left, he took a small team and opened a game company. The big boss felt that Lao Ye had betrayed him and used means to kill the small company. Remember that? ”
Huangyi is an Internet company, and it has more than just a game project. And the big boss that Liu Yu refers to, of course Zhao Ming knows who it is, Chairman Di Shi.
Zhao Ming said: "How can you not remember, at the beginning, they all said that the big boss was not a righteous person, and this kind of thing can be done." ”
"Actually, where is the big boss so stingy, he is a little afraid of Lao Ye, this person can do things and find things. A few days ago, Lao Ye resigned in that software company, and the boss knew about Xin'er, moved the relationship, and checked his whereabouts. Liu Yu is also a little depressed, Ye Yang has been out of this circle for nearly ten years, his technology and business ability should have degraded to the extreme, is it so afraid?
But the words of the big boss can't help but listen.
Zhao Ming said: "What does the boss say? ”
"The boss didn't know what Lao Ye did when he went to Jiangcheng, so he resigned decisively when he came back. The boss didn't want him to enter the game circle, so he asked his friend to find him a job in a software company. Lao Ye has been doing this for nine years, why do you say Lao Ye resigned? ”
Zhao Ming spread his hands even more, his eyes were dark, and he didn't know what was going on. said: "Why do you ask me about this, don't you know if you ask Lao Ye?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he patted his head, he and Lao Ye had an excellent private relationship, and this matter was not a secret among several of their senior leaders. Liu Yu's meaning asked him to ask.
He took out his mobile phone and took out the phone to call Ye Yang, there is nothing bad about opening his mouth in this matter, he has compromised too many times and doesn't care about this time.
"Lao Ye, I heard from a friend that you resigned? That's a million-year-a-year job, and it's not easy to find a job like this these days. Zhao Ming asked straight to the point, he knew that this was his last phone call with Ye Yang.
"Going to Jiangcheng to develop a game? eMotion Technology? Okay, as long as there is a way out. Then you are busy first, hang up, invite you to dinner another day, and bring your sister-in-law and nephew. Well, bye. ”
He put down his phone and looked out the window, and the cigarette butts were burning to his hand before he came back to his senses. The friendship between him and Ye Yang for half of his life is over.
What kind of person is that? Ten years ago, he and Ye Yang were colleagues for four years. In his impression, Ye Yang is a person who has no shelves, is meticulous, and only focuses on work. And he is very righteous, when he got into trouble, it was Ye Yang who helped him, but now? He made this call and asked about it, and the friendship between the two finally came to an end, in fact, it was okay to do so. They are no longer in the same company after all.
It's good that Ye Yang didn't return to the game circle, but when he returned to the game circle, he could only be purely interested in exchanges.
Liu Yu's head was big for a while, his subordinate was too shrewd, he just said that the boss wanted to know what Ye Yang was going to do, let him inquire. Zhao Ming's backhand is a move, and the meaning of this call is obvious: "I will only do this kind of dirty thing once, and I will inquire about it myself in the future." ”
He waved his hand to signal Zhao Ming to leave, and said, "I'll report to the big boss, get busy." ”
……
Zhao Heng looked at the 620,000 downloads and was depressed, what is this! The Hope Project has been launched, what should I do if there is a difference of 80,000 yuan? Did he pay for it himself?
He came here to make money, and so far he has only seen burning money.
He uploaded another video on eMotion's official website, a video about the one-click optimization function.
Dynamically show the power of this tool, as long as those who know understand it, as long as there is this tool, then the game developed by this engine is no longer a toy! Instead, it can be turned into a tool for making money.
Individual developers who watched this video collectively boiled, each generation of the game engine is updated, and the most difficult thing to deal with is the problem of game optimization. It's more work than development!
Small game manufacturers are boiling, this tool will also be integrated into the professional version of the Daybreak engine, how much does it cost? It's free, that's right, it's completely free.
Zhao Heng actually wants to learn the method of Unreal 4, throw this tool to the built-in mall and sell it, this thing is easy to use, take the money to buy it! But he didn't.
This decision was not a temporary idea, when Ye Yang talked about the optimization problem, he decided to do so, and domestic online games are too far behind. Now the label of domestic online games is two words garbage! Three words to die for money! Four words domestic masterpiece!
There are many reasons for this, but one of them definitely has to do with the high cost of game development. Of course, another reason is that primary school students make money easily.
This hole card was played, and the already stable number of downloads soared again, reaching more than three million.
Build four Hope Primary Schools? The 700,000 Hope Elementary School is high enough. Just do it, call the construction team and ask them to do it. I did three more, and I asked for a video of the construction project.
The project money is only the first one, do a little to give a little, how many people count on the hope project to suck blood, and there are even rumors that during the national disaster, 6 million in some places a hope primary school, and the investor is not allowed to supervise, he will not be so stupid, this matter is directly contacted by the construction team and the local township, but the approval of the matter, but also need to be stamped by the vampires, he left the town government with a headache.
On the official website, he updated an announcement again.
"Thanks to the support of all the gamers, our fundraising has reached 3 million, and eMotion has decided to add three more Hope Primary Schools, a total of four Hope Primary Schools are being built, and the roster has been printed. When the school is completed, it will be given away. At present, the company's industrial chain only has a completely free trial version of Daybreak, Daybreak Professional Edition. Now the company has decided to launch a customized version of Daybreak. ”
Below the announcement is the link, and the customized version is his exposed minions, and he is going to start holding money!
Expecting a game engine that can do all modes of gaming? Daybreak can barely do it.
But the entire domestic market is 1 yuan dawn, want to do better than others? Then spend the money! Customized version to meet your dreams that want to surpass your peers.
The price of the contract is also clearly marked on the official website, more than 5 million. How much does Unreal Engine 3 cost? 7 million, if you want to use a virtual level 4 engine, 5 million is not expensive.
He released the one-click optimization function to set the standard for this industry.
If you want to play in the domestic game circle, you still want to surpass others, and you don't want to spend money, so you can develop an engine that is comparable to Dawn!
The point is can they?
"Can we do it?" This problem also bothers Zhao Ming, these are the two paths in front of Huangyi Games, choose to cooperate with Yidong. Or self-developed engines.
It's just that he doesn't understand, how can an engine integration tool do this kind of thing?
One-click optimization of this black technology made Zhao Ming a little blindfolded like Ye Yang at the beginning.
Unreal 4 is not in your mouth? Mouth! Why aren't there too many bunker products coming out? The engine has become a big toy, because the optimization is cumbersome and the machine configuration requirements are high. The carnival of a few people can't feed a company at all.
Liu Yu is not a master who does not understand any technology, but he still asked unwillingly: "Can we make this game engine?" Once we have done that, can we optimize it to this point? ”
Zhao Ming shook his head and said, "How long will it take for us to develop an engine of this level?" 3 years? 4 years? And then what? It takes three to four years to make a game. It takes at least a year to achieve this level of optimization. ”
If you can't do it, you can only optimize it. As long as you put in the effort, the game made by the Unreal Engine 4 can also be optimized to the configuration used by the Unreal Engine 3 game. The point is that this effort is disproportionate to the output.
"What about cracking? What about adding your own stuff after researching? Liu Yu asked a little unwillingly.
"Let's not talk about cracking the problem of this engine, why is it cracked? Study? Add your own stuff? If we had done it, we would have done it earlier, and we would have done it without cracking it. Difficult! Besides, this thing is easy to crack, and the engine can be sold so expensive? ”
Liu Yu shook his head helplessly when he heard it, and said, "I'll ask the big boss." ”
Di Shi is a legend, self-made, known as one of the three musketeers of the Internet, and one of the top ten domestic rich people on the Hurun rich list. He didn't have a headache at all, such a method was still too immature for him.
"Buy, when you first started, you bought less? Talk about it when customizing, and be sure to use it. 5 million only. We also have to work harder on our own engines, which are too far behind. His reply to Liu Yu.
Using a self-developed engine is just a cheap and easy to use, and now that a better engine appears, you can choose it. The cost of self-developed engines is manual, and it is not necessarily much cheaper. Just for the sake of technology accumulation.
The customized version of the engine Zhao Heng has already been ready, waiting for the Kaizi to come to the door, there are many people who can use it in China, but there are not many people who buy the customized version of Dawn, how many are there? Seven only.
This number also exceeded his estimate, thinking that only six would buy a customized version of Burning and Playing, but a wealthy local tyrant insisted on buying one and going back to play.
That's right, it's just buying and playing, and the local tyrant doesn't know what this thing is for. I heard that this thing is already the world's leading, buy one.
"Buy a world-leading technology and use it back, and see if there is wood and head, 5 million drizzle." The local tyrant left with a customized version of Dawn, and this kind of money-burning behavior made Zhao Heng feel very unbalanced.
He is still having a headache about the office building of Yidong Games, whether to buy one or rent one! As a result, the local tyrant directly burned 5 million. Rich and capricious!
He's the district chief! Returnees!
However, he can expect that in this wave of strong promotion of the Daybreak Engine, major domestic game manufacturers will definitely launch a series of works, and there must be those who want money, as long as there are two or three masterpieces, they have already reached his planned goal.
His purpose is not just three or two games, but a group of coders who can keep up with the times, no matter what weapon, no matter what equipment, they need to be programmed.
The largest arms dealer in the United States, the amount of code in a month is more than Apple's code in a year.
He needed a new generation of programmers, and he was forcibly maturing the programming industry.
There's a problem, though.
"Game programmers' little spare time is taken up by the Daybreak Engine, is it writing code at home? Or go out with your girlfriend? Tsk, how many singles will be born here? ”
His exclamation brought him on himself.
