Chapter 275: Technical Problems, Strong Foreign Aid
Throughout November, the development of Heroes of Fire was mainly reflected in the collection of real footage.
These materials were summarized, and after repeated meetings and discussions that lasted for up to a week, a relatively complete version of the main plot line was finally determined.
For these plots, the specific details must be repeatedly considered and polished, and these are mainly Wen Yu's work.
Then there is art, according to Gu Feng's requirements, art modeling must be as realistic as possible, whether it is character modeling or scene modeling, the character must not look like a building block man or a silicone person, fire, smoke, explosions and other things must be so that players know that this is a special effect, and they will still subconsciously mistake it for a real feeling.
In addition, the movements of the characters must not be as stiff as zombies.
As for the sound effect, in addition to all the sound effects to be realistic, the smell simulation technology, temperature simulation technology, and pain simulation technology that have long been mature should also be used well, so that players can experience the taste of burning fire, pungent smoke, difficulty breathing, scalding pain, etc., the pain level can be controlled, but there must be.
Although I thought that these things would not be too simple to implement, when I actually started it, the sudden problems still caused trouble to the project team.
In fact, these ideas can be done and realized, but it is still the problem that Gu Feng was worried about before, the people who started at the beginning are too young, except for a few people who have some experience in VR game development in the previous company, most people, like Gu Feng, are in contact with the production of VR games for the first time.
In fact, not to mention the original intention, there is currently no VR game in China in terms of art, sound effects, and smell. In terms of pain and other aspects, it has reached the level that Gu Feng expects, and there are such VR games, but they are all abroad, and even in foreign countries, there are very few game companies that can do this level.
Gu Feng is also very helpless, judging from the work effect in early December, there are really many pits in VR, at least more than fifty percent of these pits have not been considered in the planning stage, every time they encounter a pit, everyone has no particularly good way, basically relying on the stupidest way, reading books or checking information on the Internet to seek solutions, such a response is undoubtedly inefficient and unreliable, even if the problem is temporarily solved in this way, no one dares to pat their chests and say whether there will be hidden dangers.
And after entering December, the second WCS audition has officially started, although after a year, under the successful experience of the first WCS, the domestic event has become more and more experienced, and the management of event management and professional game clubs is becoming more and more mature, but as the organizer, the original intention must still be divided into some energy, and when it comes to January, the world's attention will once again focus on this first event of e-sports, such a significant event, Even the upper side is not good enough to make way for "Heroes of Fire".
It can only be said that it is a little early to develop VR games at this stage.
But the arrow is on the bow, and it is impossible for Gu Feng to retreat.
If we continue to develop in our current state, it will be difficult to predict not only the delivery date, but also the final delivery quality.
Under such pressure, Gu Feng had to seek help from above, and he was also very direct and honest about the reasons given by the above, bluntly saying that Chu Chu was currently encountering some technical problems, and hoped that a few technical experts in VR could be transferred to support him.
The above seemed to attach great importance to this matter, and after listening to Gu Feng's request, without saying a word, he responded directly, and in less than three days, a total of seven technical experts were dispatched in place.
These seven people are not simple, two of them are a man and a woman, the man is about in his early thirties, and the woman looks twenty-five or sixteen, although both of them are wearing casual clothes when they report, but when they stand with their chests straight and their backs straight, like two strong pines, their eyes are as bright as swords, and they are all from the military!
Another person, with sparse hair and a slightly hunched back, came wearing a white coat, he is from Huaxia University of Science and Technology is responsible for teaching VR image information processing Academician Xu Jianguo, this year is 68 years old, the above was originally looking for his student, but after learning about this, Academician Xu took the initiative to invite Ying, and brought two students together.
The last two are experts who have successfully participated in the improvement of cinema odor simulation technology, and the other is a postdoctoral fellow who has published more than a dozen influential papers in the field of tactile simulation.
Even Gu Feng didn't expect that the attention paid to this matter by the above would reach such a point, what he didn't know was that in fact, the country attaches great importance to the research of VR technology, in the above view, whether it is military or civilian, VR has considerable prospects, under such a trend, "Heroes of Fire" is at the right time, and it just happened to become a pilot project in the skin of a game.
Sending these seven people here, in addition to providing technical assistance to the original intention, for these seven people, it may not be a rare opportunity, an opportunity to put technology into practice.
Gu Feng didn't expect this, but he knew that for the original heart, this was an excellent opportunity to learn on the spot and quickly improve the skills of his employees, so when he held a welcome meeting for the seven people, he repeatedly told the employees to follow others to watch and learn hard, and if there are any questions that they don't understand, they can take advantage of the fact that there are masters around them who can help answer them directly.
Throughout the middle and late December, the development of "Heroes of Fire" finally became smooth again, and even if there were any more problems, with the help of foreign aid elders, they were quickly solved.
The skills of the employees have improved rapidly during this time, and Gu Feng can be seen smiling from ear to ear every day.
The work of the seven elders during this period is also very comfortable and pleasant, the vigorous working atmosphere makes everyone full of enthusiasm every day, although the teammates are slightly lacking in technology, but fortunately, they are a group of young people who are very easy to get along with, interesting, smart, and studious, which is probably the most impressive impression left by the employees of the heart.
At the same time, the logistics of the original intention made them extremely comfortable, notebooks, pens, cups, plug-in boards and other work and life gadgets are readily available, and the configuration and running speed of office computers made them instantly disgusted with their own schools and units, as if they would crash at any time and in the next second.
When they are tired from work, the beautiful girl at the front desk downstairs will prepare a hot coffee or tea for them.
Even on weekends, Chuxin always volunteered to participate in various activities, or greenway hiking, or outdoor cycling, or playing mahjong, but what they found most interesting was a game called Werewolf Kill, and I heard from employees that this was an offline game invented by their company boss Gu Feng.
Even the eldest academician Xu Jianguo participated in two hiking activities under the persuasion and instigation of several little girls, and after three weeks, when he talked on the phone with his wife and son at home, he said that he looked much younger and more energetic.
For them, this business trip with a political mission, although it was indeed for work, was inexplicably more like a healing journey with rare relaxation.
Life and work are so enjoyable that even those who think they are very conscious feel the joy of not wanting to be happy.
