"SLGamers Forum Player Average Score 9.8! GW is once again a great idea! 》

"Continuing the popularity of the battlefield, the new work of Golden Wind Black Soul detonates the player market! 》

"Regarding the invitation of the golden wind as the main guest, Yunwei has not made any comment, and CEO Kawnick declined to be interviewed"

《……》

The demo version isn't huge.

Although the difficulty is really not low, and the addition of the energy bar for the first time has caused a lot of trouble for players who are used to wolves.

But after all, the demo volume is here, so the next day, there are reviews of the demo of "Dark Souls", which are overwhelming.

The overall rating is as high as 9.8.

Although this time, Black Souls does not have the kind of performance that "Wolf" can be called game-breaking enough.

But compared to a wolf, whether it is the art or technology of the game, Black Souls is a step higher.

The "industrial alliance" praised by the media allows the combination of Gold Engine and Phoenix to complement each other's strengths and create the world's top visual performance.

In addition, Gu Sheng's personal operation and the full cooperation of the National Symphony Orchestra.

It simply makes this work, which is already full of obscurity and heavy beauty, reach the level of artwork.

Such a performance not only made the wind of gold attract the attention of the media, but also attracted the attention of many industry colleagues.

"Impressive work, very stunning, I'm looking forward to its official release......"

The next day, GDC continued to be in full swing.

And at lunchtime, Maher, the chief art director of the Polish Aurora game, took the initiative to find the golden wind.

"Mr. Maher has an overrate,"

Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao smiled politely:

"We are also groping for a little progress, and we still need to continue to learn from international manufacturers like yours."

Because Gu Sheng came to GDC this time, in addition to being the main guest of honor, he also had to be the host of the entire GDC five-day exchange meeting.

Therefore, during the lunch and dinner sessions, he walked with the organizers and the conference project team, and did not participate in the communication between manufacturers.

And the task of friendly exchanges with manufacturers naturally fell on Shen Miaomiao.

But the good thing!

Today's Shen Miaomiao is no longer the mascot who has participated in the game exchange festival hosted by Yiyou for the first time before, and knows nothing about the game industry, but only knows that he is standing next to Gu Sheng and pretending to be a little mute.

After so many years, although she still does not understand and analyze the game industry as thoroughly as Gu Sheng, she is not a pure novice who doesn't know anything.

Moreover, the other party is an internationally renowned manufacturer such as Aurora Games.

As a game manufacturer in Eastern Europe, Aurora Games has been diligently cultivating the game industry, from PC to mobile platform to somatosensory platform, it has its own representative works.

Although its size is not as good as Yunwei, who is in charge of the game industry in the Western Hemisphere, it is still on par with Kemera.

Even, to some extent, Aurora Games is a more powerful manufacturer than Kemela.

Because as we all know, the huge size of Comera does not only come from the game industry.

As a "comprehensive game manufacturer" like Yunwei, Kemera actually has many economic pillars.

Not to mention anything else, the small steel ball project alone can bring huge revenue to Kemera every year.

In contrast, the Aurora game is much more pure.

Although they are also involved in related peripheral industries, they account for a very low proportion on the whole and cannot be regarded as pillar revenue projects.

As for the "pillar economy" of the level of small steel balls, it is even more impossible to talk about.

Other words!

Today's Aurora games can have such a volume, almost purely because of the deep cultivation and accumulation in the game industry in the past 28 years since the studio was first established.

A game-obsessed manufacturer can be as big as Comera, which has multiple economic pillars.

It is enough to see the purity and power of the Aurora game.

Thank God.

Shen Miaomiao sincerely thanked Mr. Gu for the popular science he gave her on weekdays, so that she had a certain understanding of this manufacturer that she had not dealt with much before, so that she would not only know like a little fool, "Huh? ”。

“…… Wherever we are, we deserve it,"

Listening to Shen Miaomiao's politeness, Aurora Director Maher waved his hand again and again:

"Your company's ability to invent and pioneer in the game industry is recognized in the industry,"

"Speaking of which, we have a lot of games that borrow from Mr. Sam to some extent,"

"Even if we learn, we learn from each other and make progress together,"

"As Sam mentioned in yesterday's speech—"

"Industrial exchange and integration, sharing market opportunities, and seeking common cooperation and development,"

"This is the mainstream of the coordinated development of the game industry in the future."

Speaking of which!

Maher also seemed to tease something else:

"Industry lockdowns are not advisable, and it has been proven that a single-minded lockdown will suffer an unprecedented failure."

Hey——!

Shen Miaomiao nodded again and again!

This comrade's ideological consciousness is very high!

The young man can talk!

Glancing approvingly at Maher, Shen Miaomiao smiled:

"Aurora Games is worthy of being a leader in the industry, and with Mr. Maher's insight, I believe it will be stronger in the future."

Although at this point, Shen Miaomiao knew very well that Maher definitely had a purpose in finding them this time.

But you approve of me and support me at this time.

At this moment, you are my friend.

Besides, that's what business is supposed to be.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

Only profitable parties will be able to sit together.

Although it is said that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

But now, what the wind of gold needs is friends based on a community of interests.

After all, since they reached an alliance with Phoenix, the clarion call for a counterattack against Yunwei and Komera, and even the Vivendi Group, has been sounded.

Only by uniting more well-known manufacturers that are important in the world can we occupy a greater dominant position in the future international competition.

"I lend you good words,"

Maher laughed when he heard this, thanked Shen Miaomiao repeatedly, and then changed the conversation:

"Having said that, this time the alliance between your company and Phoenix is indeed a surprise to the game industry,"

"Even from our professional point of view, the reason why Black Souls is so amazingly expressive,"

"It's inseparable from the support of the engine."

"Indeed," Shen Miaomiao also nodded in affirmation: "To some extent, we have learned from Phoenix to make this game's art style, or ......."

Speaking of which!

Shen Miaomiao paused.

In the heart of a little language organization, there is something else:

"In a way, it's now more capable of creating a variety of art styles and further enhancing the player's sense of immersion,"

"From the perspective of the somatosensory cabin, a stronger sense of immersion will definitely make the game more competitive in the market,"

"What do you say, Mr. Maher?"

Hear the words.

Maher's eyes lit up.

and Shen Miaomiao glanced at each other, and the two sides understood, and it seemed that everything was in plain sight.

That's right!

Just as Shen Miaomiao thought, this time Maher found their golden wind, of course, not just to express praise and admiration!

The success of Battlefield has shown people the potential of the Gold Engine.

And then "Dark Souls" appeared, which was even more amazing for the quality of the game presented by the combination of Gold Engine and Phoenix.

So, in such a situation, Aurora Games naturally set its sights on the gold engine.

True.

As one of the world's leading manufacturers, Aurora Games has its own self-developed engine.

But now, with the rapid progress of the somatosensory game industry, their self-developed engine is more or less difficult to achieve the performance of the game industry.

After all, it is difficult for the technical strength of the "self-developed engine" to catch up with the mainstream "commercial engine" on the market if it does not find another way.

This point, even in recent years, the momentum is extremely strong, and the project is never short of money, I have to admit it.

Was the battle for the development of the gold engine big at the beginning?

The cost of 120 million dollars, a team of 2,000 people, and the joint research and development of most of the Chinese game circle.

What does the end result look like?

If Sam hadn't taken a different path, his main goal was to break through with the physical destruction effect.

Then there is no doubt that this vigorous engine is definitely not comparable to the table and the dream.

Even Gu Sheng himself has to admit that even if he wants to catch up with the current Phantom Dream 5, the gold engine still has several years to go.

But when they really catch up with Dream 5 one day, maybe the dream has already entered the next engine era.

And that's it!

It became more and more obvious that the golden wind combined with Phoenix's trick was particularly powerful.

Obviously.

The Golden Wind also knows its own disadvantages, and knows that if it focuses on the independent research and development of the Golden Engine, let alone compare with the Dream 5.

It is unknown whether the Gold Engine will be able to meet their increasing technical requirements for gaming in a timely manner.

Thereupon!

They decided to overtake in the corner!

Doesn't technology take time to accumulate?

Then I'll trade money for time!

Take the road of industrial alliance directly, and use the experience accumulated by others to make up for my current shortcomings!

And this means that today's gold engine is actually no longer a simple engine, but has become a platform!

It's like a giant puzzle base, constantly filling itself with ready-made pieces!

In fact, it is difficult for Maher to define what kind of engine the golden engine is.

Today's engines have three types of atmospheres - free engines, commercial engines, and self-developed engines.

Is it a free engine?

Apparently not.

Although it was claimed to have been jointly developed by the game industry in China.

But in fact, from front to back, all the R&D expenses are paid by Golden Wind, so Golden Wind naturally enjoys all its copyrights and provides them to other manufacturers in China in the form of fees.

It's just that in terms of price, manufacturers who have participated in R&D enjoy preferential policies.

So is it a business engine?

It doesn't seem to be.

Because, theoretically, the development company of a commercial engine is usually not involved in the development of a game project.

And the commercial engine has a great feature - it is not only for the game industry, but also for architecture, design, film and television and other industries.

But the gold engine only serves the game industry, and all upgrades are all for game performance.

But in this way, it seems to be a self-developed engine?

It's evil, and it's not either!

Because self-developed engines are usually tools produced and sold by a certain manufacturer.

It is developed by the game manufacturer itself, upgraded by itself, and used by itself.

It is not open to the public at all, and there will be no royalties for external sales.

So!

What kind of engine tool is Gold Engine?

Maher didn't know.

If he had to define it, then he could only say that the gold engine was a "self-developed commercial engine master that only independently serves the game industry"!

That's right!

It can't even be defined as an "engine" in a limited way!

It's a "master" of the culmination!

Because of the industrial alliance with Phoenix, it has already changed in nature!

God knows just how big the ambitions of the Golden Wind really are!

This is an unprecedented business development model in the engine industry!

And this model also allows Aurora Games to smell new development opportunities.

Although it is difficult for them to define the business development model of the gold engine.

But there is no doubt that its potential is absolutely unprecedented.

This thing is a stitch monster.

Hell knows how terrifying the gold engine of the ultimate body would be if one day they were to sew up the entire engine industry.

So.

They want to strike first.

After all, ready-made examples are in front of you!

Can you imagine how happy the manufacturers who decided to participate in the research and development of the Golden Engine project at the beginning of the project are now?

What they are now enjoying is "at an in-house base price close to that of a third-rate engine, while enjoying the dual technical support of the Gold engine and the Phoenix engine"!

What does this amount to?

This is equivalent to spending the price of a single room in a guest house, but living in a room in a five-star presidential suite!

And the reason why they have this treatment now is only because when the developer built the guest house, they went to the construction site to fight!

Although the time is not lost.

Today's golden wind has passed the most difficult moment, and it will never open up this preferential policy to more manufacturers in the future.

But for Aurora games, you can't enjoy a third-rate price, so you can let me enjoy a second-rate price!

I'm not a charcoal in the snow, though.

But the icing on the cake is also a flower.

"Industrial alliance to improve market competitiveness,"

Maher nodded repeatedly:

"Actually, that's what I'm trying to say."

Hear the words.

Shen Miaomiao raised her hand and motioned for Maher to continue.

Seeing Maher sort out his thoughts, he spoke:

"The combination of your company and Phoenix can be said to have opened up a new idea for the coordinated development of the game industry."

"And in this GDC, your company's "Dark Souls" is the best demonstration of the results of collaborative development,"

"You should have seen that just yesterday, our official tweet, including the CEO's personal tweet, gave absolute affirmation and support to the new ideas, new models and new prospects proposed by your company."

"This is not only our attitude, but also our practical expectations for the new model of industrial joint development......

Listening to Maher's words, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart, what people said was right-

When you are weak, there are the most bad people, and when you are hot, there are good people around you.

Back then, when they were still weak, mockery, contempt, ridicule, and questioning flew all over the sky.

Look at the present.

The phrase "cooperation and coordinated development" was uttered, and in less than 24 hours, it attracted the support and cooperation requests of internationally renowned first-line manufacturers.

The next content, Shen Miaomiao motioned to Chu Qingzhou beside her to record it, because she began to listen to it a little foggy.

Maher saw that Shen Miaomiao did not know much about professional knowledge in the industry, and tried to use more popular terms to explain the cooperation demands.

To put it simply, Aurora Games wants to be the same as Phoenix, and also wants to participate in the upgrading and construction of the gold engine, adding new colors to the puzzle of the gold engine.

As everyone knows.

A game engine, as a software framework to assist in the design and development of video games, includes multiple tools for multiple subsystems such as graphics rendering, physics simulation, sound, input, artificial intelligence, etc.

It helps developers create game scenes, characters, animations, sound effects, and more to achieve the features and effects of the game.

Generally speaking, an engine usually includes multiple components, such as "rendering engine", "physics engine", "sound engine", "input engine", "output engine", "augmented reality", "artificial intelligence engine", and "network interconnection framework".

Maher first took out the two major components, the "physics engine" and the "artificial intelligence engine".

One of these two components simulates physical effects, including gravity, collisions, friction, and more; One is responsible for the AI in the strenuous game, including AI behavior, decision-making, feedback, etc.

There is not much need for discussion and explanation of these two items.

Because in these two aspects, the golden wind has achieved the first-class level, and it can even be called the only existence in the world.

And because of the addition of Phoenix, the "rendering engine" that is mainly responsible for rendering game scenes, including graphics rendering, lighting, shadows, special effects and other visual effects, does not need to be elaborated too much.

When it comes to visual effects presentation and picture quality rendering, Phoenix is second, and no one dares to say that he is first.

As a result, there are only five main components: "Sound Engine", "Augmented Reality", "Network Interconnection Framework", "Output Engine" and "Output Engine".

"And among them,"

Maher explains:

"The sound engine is the biggest advantage of our Aurora self-developed engine."

Sound, an extremely overlooked component of gameplay, often doesn't seem to be that eye-catching.

But in fact, it's the most indispensable part of a complete game.

After all, as a virtual reality, the most intuitive form of expression of games is "watching" and "listening".

As for the "smell", "taste" and "touch" developed with the advent of the somatosensory cabin, they are ranked after audio-visual.

But.

Because people's sense of "listening" is not particularly sensitive, or the requirements are usually not so high.

So the sound engine has always been one of the most inconsequential game engines.

No one paid attention to it, and no one studied it.

But the Aurora game is different -

They were the first company to release an audio game in a somatosensory cabin game.

is similar to "Rhythm Lightsaber" in Gu Sheng's previous life.

The simple setting of the rhythm cut squares, supplemented by 3D surround sound music effects, caused an instant sensation when it was released, and sold more than many guns, winning the TIGA (The International Game Awards) Game of the Year that year, and the only audio game to win the TIGA Game of the Year so far.

As a result, Aurora Games is gone forever in the research of sound engines.

Even now, although Aurora games are no longer obsessed with audio games, they have turned to RPG, FPS, and sports games.

However, in terms of the presentation of the game's sound effects, it still remains at a unique level.

"Games can't be played without the aid of sound"

Maher says:

"Especially in somatosensory games, the more subtle the sound presentation, the more it can enhance the player's playing experience,"

"In this regard, I think our experience can provide strong support for the further enrichment of the gold engine."

Well......

Hear the words.

Shen Miaomiao's little brain started to move.

According to Maher, in this cooperation, they hope to adopt the cooperation model between Golden Wind and many Chinese manufacturers in the early stage of the Golden Engine - mercenary mode - Golden Wind hires the self-developed engine team of Aurora Games to upgrade the technology of the engine and give Aurora Games a relatively reasonable engine licensing price.

Reasonable.

Fairness and justice, mutual benefit.

You give me the sharing technology, and I give you the preferential license.

Sounds like a good idea.

But here's the problem –

Sound upgrade?

Wow.

Shen Miaomiao grinned in her heart.

Sounds like a weird and useless boost.

Maher is a fanciful thing, but in her gaming experience, it doesn't seem to matter.

Unless the boss of a manufacturer burns his money uncomfortably.

Otherwise, this kind of truth is useless, or a small improvement, it is really unnecessary.

So!

Who is uncomfortable with the money burned?

Hi hi hi! I!

Shen Miaomiao smashed her mouth.

What a bad deal!

Isn't this the equivalent of taking money to waste!

Moreover, due to the existence of system limitations, a single upgrade engine is not enough to establish a project, and when the engine upgrade is completed, she has to pay another amount of money to make a game for sale.

I took out two sums of money and gained a game that didn't have much technical improvement.

Roar!

Shen Miaomiao clapped her hands secretly.

Thanks to Prestige, thanks to Kaonick, thanks to Dream.

Without your blockade, there would be no advent of the gold engine, there would be no my 1.8 billion, there would be no black soul with a sure rebate, and there would be no more opportunities to make money.

If you continue to play like this, let alone get rid of the covetousness of Prestige.

Reverse takeovers are just around the corner!

That's it!

Come to think of this!

Shen Miaomiao didn't have the slightest reason to hesitate, and made a decision on the spot!

There is no reason to send rebates to your door!

I lost this money!
