935 lost at the beginning
You must know that since Chen Xiao entered the industry, he has always been very superstitious about the technology of those big factories in the West.
The programming language they use for programming, and later the various compilers, to the systems used, architectures, and so on.
These are all the technical products of large Western manufacturers.
In addition, after being immersed in the game industry for so many years, he has really never seen any Yanguo game company seriously develop a real technical engine.
And now, this matter has been quietly taught by a company that has not been established for a long time.
And this company's engine is so beautiful.
To be honest, after the comparison, he was actually quite happy.
After all, our domestic company can make such a great virtual engine, which is definitely a huge progress.
The most important thing is that he is also open to the outside world, which has a huge role in promoting the domestic game industry.
But two days ago, with the sudden announcement of Black Goose, they launched in-depth cooperation with Company E.
After introducing Company E's Unreal Engine to China and opening it up for free.
Chen Xiaozhen was a little happy, but at the same time very worried.
I'm happy because I can use Unreal Engine for free, but I'm worried that Unreal Engine will have a huge impact on the Lotus Engine.
If the market that seriously squeezes the red power is really forced to the point of unprofitability.
So such a good domestic enterprise is likely to go bankrupt and close down because of insufficient profits.
If the red power falls, the domestic market will become the world of large foreign-funded manufacturers.
By that time, do you think Unreal Engine will continue to be free?
He knows too well the urine of Black Goose and those international manufacturers.
So this is, in Chen Xiao's heart, in fact, he hopes that the red power must hold on......
Finally, it was nine o'clock, and the employees quickly returned to their workstations.
Then I opened the interface specified by the black goose.,Sure enough, a free installation package appeared on the interface this time.。
Everyone started to download the installation package, but the download speed was very slow, and even there was a freeze.
You know, this hasn't happened for a long time, and that's why it's like this.
That's all because there are too many people who enter the page at the same time and start downloading.
Finally, after more than an hour, the employees in the company downloaded Unreal Engine and began to install it.
This Unreal Engine installation package is not small.
A compressed package has a capacity of more than a dozen G, which is much larger than the installation package of the Lotus engine.
And after unzipping, it is up to more than 100G capacity.
If the computer hard drive is small, it will not fit at all.
Many employees have begun to complain at this time, how did this Unreal Engine get it, didn't it optimize the compression before it was taken out for everyone to download?
But complaining is complaining, and everyone still started the installation.
As a result, I was dumbfounded after clicking on the installation, and many people's computers actually crashed directly.
It turns out that this set of software really eats computer hardware.
If your computer is not top-of-the-line, the chip is not top-of-the-line, or you don't have enough memory space, you won't be able to install it at all.
Seeing this picture, many programmers had to jump to scold their mothers.
Then bring up the background and start cleaning up the excess memory-occupying software......
And Chen Xiao, who was sitting at the workstation, felt that just seeing the installation of the machine, the Unreal Engine had already lost.
To say that before, this engine was really powerful.
But it is precisely because the engine is very powerful, so his installation package is very large, because there will be a lot of tools involved in it.
And even if you install it, it's very much a hardware eater.
All kinds of hardware are not fully matched, and it will be quite difficult to run the software, and the computer will often slow down and get stuck.
Think about it again, when they installed the Lotus engine.
They sent a team of a few people over, and then connected to their company's server, and they were able to start downloading and installing.
The whole process was completed in just over an hour.
And people's software is not particularly large.,After installation.,It's only about 20 G.。
And the requirements for computer hardware are not particularly high.
The top-of-the-line PC is best, and if you don't, you can run well on a medium configuration.
Even if it's a low-end ordinary computer, it can run when it's urgent, except for the slow speed.
Therefore, just from the optimization of this software, you can see the technical gap between the two engines.
The Lotus engine of red power, just by this step, has already won.
And what happened next confirmed Chen Xiao's guess even more.
Even these programmers in the company have closed a lot of programs that are running in the background.
They were also very slow when they installed Unreal Engine.
You must know that these computers that their company allocates to their employees, although they dare not say that they are the top computers at the moment.
But it is definitely the mainstream configuration model in the current top computer.
After all, they themselves are engaged in game development and software programming, and they know the importance of computer hardware to programmers.
Therefore, it is natural that employees should not be equipped with computers that are too bad.
However, with a computer of this level, it is still very difficult to install this kind of Unreal Engine.
The whole company didn't do anything else in the morning, everyone was in the company waiting for the program to be installed.
It wasn't until after lunch and everyone came back from their lunch break that the program was completely installed.
Many programmers can't wait to turn on the engine, wanting to see what the legendary towering Unreal Engine looks like.
How do you feel the bottom of it.
But when they tried to use this engine to do some of their work today, everyone was stunned.
Because the user experience is really not beautiful.
First of all, this operation page is almost 100% English, and the Lotus engine uses an all-Chinese operation page.
It looks quite straightforward and very easy to use.
But this Unreal Engine, an all-English operating system, is a bit confusing.
In particular, there are many functions that you need to explore one by one.
On the other hand, the Lotus engine of the red power of others is installed for you.
I also sent someone over to give technical guidance to your employees for three days.
Specially taught you how to use, this platform engine, and really easy to learn, absolutely simple and easy to use.
But this Unreal Engine is different, and they have also published an instructional video online.
But the problem is that like the system, this instructional video is also in English.
As far as these programmers in their company watch this kind of instructional video, they are really confused......
