Chapter 610 - 514. Is this going to war with aliens?

Speaking of Insect Master 2, we have to talk about Violet's Eternal Garden.

Shinji Mikami mentioned this project with some embarrassment, "President, this game, can you see when the plot of the game is correct, so that the development can be carried out?" ”

"Ah......h

Qing Zhiyuan was embarrassed, "I've been so busy this time that I forgot about it." ”

Last year, it was taking advantage of the development of Insect Master 2 that Qing Zhiyuan asked Mikami Shinji to set up a project.

I want to make Violet's Eternal Garden a slow game similar to that of the insect master, but due to work reasons, there was a lot of delay during the period, so Qing Zhiyuan was powerless, and he just talked about some ideas, and the specific story outline and content requirements have not been given to the project team.

Oops.

This was urged by his own subordinates, which was simply terrible.

The art team was amazed when they got the sketches of Miyazaki's design, and they felt that it was a great thing to be able to see Miyazaki's manuscripts and setbook one step ahead of others.

The world composition of Spirited Away is different from other previous game works, the most important subject is Granny Soup's oil house, but the composition of this thing is particularly complex, equivalent to a large fortress, and the number of game objects that need to be loaded in the same space is increasing exponentially.

It's all a routine.

……

In particular, the corresponding derivative works, two games with obvious characteristics and mirror each other, as a sequel to the 3D world, and then select a part of the newly added Pokémon and put it into the traditional battle, thus forming a virtuous circle.

What are you going to do with Howl's Moving Castle?

That guy is going to run around, and he's going to be shaped.

And it can't be split using the map function of the existing editor, so it can only be hard-built by the model.

Art director Taiji Sakata said that he had never seen such an imaginative design, and it was amazing.

Now the programmers in Spirited Away's project team and the developers of the Pioneer Engine hate Aochigen and Miyazaki at the same time.

The Pokémon series is basically a repertoire of Pokeni.

The Pokémon series is not only a sign of pokeni, but also one of the main sources of income, even if it does not continue to produce follow-up works, the surrounding goods alone can bring a lot of income to P Company every year.

The impact on the performance overhead of the program is simply too great.

It is also a behemoth with a multi-layered structure that can walk inside, and it is difficult for Qing Zhiyuan to realize it even by himself.

But......

"Then, it's a derivative of the Pokémon 3D world, and the follow-up plan will be to complete two twins next year."

In 2004, Hayao Miyazaki published "Howl's Moving Castle", and that castle was really going to die.

It's not a big problem, and Seijiwon is also very relieved to Asano Lisa, so it passed quickly.

As a result, after taking over the design of the oil house and the characters, the artists were as excited as monkey butts.

In this world, only Hayao Miyazaki can imagine such a whimsical but reasonable, richly detailed and fascinating scene, right?

Qing Zhiyuan said, that's because you haven't seen the next work.

At least now Granny Tang's oil house is a guy who can't move, and it can be used as a fixed scene for splicing and production.

What really brings joy to a project is art in addition to planning.

"Spirited Away is already in the process of being developed, but the design of the large map and the large building is too complex, and it is still being finalized."

Just thinking about the program support that he wants to provide, Qing Zhiyuan himself is a bit big, not to mention the current programmers.

The good news is that technology is constantly evolving.

Qing Zhiyuan thought to himself, anyway, it hasn't reached that point yet, and when Old Man Miyazaki really wants to make Howl's mobile castle, maybe some front-end technologies have been developed.

In addition to these game projects, Shinji Mikami also gave a brief introduction to the game projects developed overseas.

The first is Border Online, on the basis of border games supported by LAN, it is obviously easier to do network expansion, but this project needs to correspond to the development of peripheral systems and interactions, so the progress is not particularly ideal.

It is expected to be completed in the first half of next year.

Warcraft 3 has already been said by Shinji Mikami just now.

The second is Martin's new work "Game of Thrones", which Qing Zhiyuan just talked about last year, is now being adapted into a strategy game, which is almost developed according to the model envisioned by Qing Zhiyuan, and hired Martin as a consultant, so the details are controlled.

It was not very difficult to develop, but it took time to work on the details, and it is expected to be completed in 2002.

In addition to the Game of Thrones strategy game, pokeni is also working on the 3D role-playing game "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and the game progress is okay.

However, it is also expected to be in 2002.

This is also a large-scale game project with the largest R&D efforts and investment funds after the border of the United States subsidiary.

They seem to be quite enthusiastic about making this kind of magic-themed game.

After reading Harry Potter-related books, Breivik, the president of the subsidiary, has become a fan of Rowling.

……

After the report was completed, Qing Zhiyuan sorted out all the content with him.

Neon is a country without an ID card, and even the government does not have the right to require citizens to show corresponding documents, such as driver's license, insurance, household registration and other things that can prove your identity.

In this way, the player can only be protected by machine retrieval, shielding and extracting sensitive words, and then manual inspection.

Another is to issue an official disclaimer when registering the game, plus a long-term reminder of player behavior, in order to prevent some hidden dangers that may occur.

In short, it is more complicated than Qing Zhiyuan imagined.

It was only then that he discovered that China was the one with the best protection and control over citizens in the world.

With the exception of China, no country in the world can achieve real-name realization.

The Internet is not as secure as it is in other countries.

……

And then on the Warcraft 3 side, because Pokeni has its own R&D engine, there is no need for them to re-develop the editor, and now the members of the Warcraft project team are developing based on some functional extensions made by the Pioneer Engine.

In other words, in this world, there is no War3 editor, only the Pioneer editor.

The Pathfinder Editor will not only override all the features of the previous War3 Editor, but will also provide additional capabilities that it can't.

And this editor is placed in the dandelion platform for players and developers to download.

In other words, any independent game developer can use Pokeni's Trailblazer Engine for free.

And upload the corresponding game to the Dandelion platform, which will distribute and charge on behalf of the Dandelion platform, and the platform will take a part of the income obtained, about 15%, and the rest will be counted into the corresponding game developer account.

These features are now relatively complete.

Otherwise, the platform strategy that Qingzhiyuan proposed with other game developers before would not be realized.

For this reason, the program department led by Ken Akanishi also worked a lot of overtime, which made them complain.

But well......

Shinji Mikami had a bitter face, after today's round of discussions, presumably Akaxi-san's side will hate him and the president even more.

Because there are more new needs.

Coupled with the new procedural problems brought about by Granny Tang's giant oil house, Akanishi Ken's heart to hack Qing Zhiyuan to death is about to be made.

……

"Finally, there is the new handheld SDS on Sega's side, and the prototype has a first version completed, which may be used for this E3 electronics show demonstration, but if the actual machine is delivered, it is expected to take more than a year, that is, it will not be completed until the second half of 2001." Shinji Mikami said.

SDS is a new handheld created by Seichi Won and Satoshi Iwata, and it has many similarities with the NDS developed by Ren Heaven in the previous life.

There are some very key technologies, such as split-screen and electronic touch screen technology, which are of epoch-making significance.

After the development of this game console is completed, it will be able to play an important role in future touchscreen applications.

To put it bluntly, although there are certain gaps, the research and development of SDS can accumulate valuable development experience for pokeni to enter the field of touchscreen smartphones in the future.

After all, that thing is the next 20 years.

A traverser like Qing Zhiyuan said that it was impossible to give up this.

Qing Zhiyuan is full of confidence in this.

Think about it, now Pokeni already owns shares in Nvidia and Google, and also has a lot of valuable experience in the development of game console hardware, whether it is from hardware design, chips, operating systems, in fact, has laid a certain foundation.

Don't be too silky to make smartphones in the future.

After sorting out all the major events in the company, it was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening.

Time flies so fast.

Although there are many unfinished games, there are also many games with a high degree of completion.

This time the E3 electronics exhibition, if nothing else, is likely to be the stage of pokeni.

……

A week later, when he saw the massive number of problems that Shinji Mikami had piled up, Ken Akanishi just wanted to hit his head and die.

"That's too much, isn't it?

Why are there so many new features in the editor? ”

Akaxi-san frowned, "Let's schedule first, we can't take care of it here." ”

The president is the same as urging orders.

The game engine is already the world's leading, is this going to fly to the moon on a rocket?

Or are we going to war with aliens?

Anyway, everything is scheduled according to needs and priority levels.

"It's okay, I understand it too." Shinji Mikami cast a caring and compassionate gaze.

Seriously, there were times when he was horrified by the president's enterprising spirit.
