Chapter 323: Crazy, an old game that unexpectedly became popular
The virtual platform is officially open!
When I received this news, countless game manufacturers were in a shock.
For more than half a year, they have been watching the rapid growth of the Honghuang platform, and they are waiting for it to be fully settled in after it is opened.
Now.
Finally waited for this opportunity.
Naturally, they didn't want to waste time, and they all gathered in the production team in a hurry.
"Quick, let's start the final testing work, and get ready to upload the game, how familiar are you with the unreal engine?"
"I'm already basically familiar with it, and I can start working in full swing when the equipment arrives!"
Unreal Engine.
It is a game engine developed by Chen Lin based on virtual technology.
Like the usual Unreal Engine, it's designed to make games, but it's a virtual game.
Chen Lin has applied for a patent for this engine.
And as long as those manufacturers are very low.
But there is a contract.
The games made by the Honghuang virtual engine can only be released on the Honghuang platform, which also puts an end to the situation of making wedding dresses for others.
This time.
Manufacturers are doing this for this engine.
Purchase equipment and be familiar with the production process.
The fast progress has been basically started, and you can make some small games.
Especially for those 3D games that have a foundation in modeling, it is much easier to convert them into virtual games, which is also their initial goal.
"Boss, recently the penguin side also said that it will launch a new device in two years, and we use the Honghuang virtual engine, are we not going to consider it?"
In the production team, an employee couldn't help but ask.
The game made by the Honghuang virtual engine cannot be uploaded to other virtual platforms, and this restriction is nothing now, and it is impossible to say after that.
"You believe the of penguins, who in our line of work hasn't skipped the ticket? He said that if you get it out in two years, you can get it out in two years? β
"That is, put the real thing out first, and then I will talk about it."
"And now there are no other companies to make virtual engines, just use them first, and then change them later."
Generally, large-scale game manufacturers will basically have their own game engines.
But now that the virtual industry has just risen, the engine that comes with the Honghuang platform has naturally become their best choice.
Later, the technology will mature.
It's never too late to develop the right engine for you.
So quickly.
On the platform, a large number of games began to pour in.
The homepage, which originally only had one lone "Sword Art Online", has also become colorful, with many more category pages and lists, and many new features.
Exciting for players who have just gotten up and gone online.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming!"
"It just so happens that the Sword Reclamation Group is resting today, let's see what other types of games are like first."
In the live broadcast room.
Ouyang Xiao went online early in the morning and put on a helmet to log in to the platform.
To her great surprise, after entering the platform this time, the familiar web-based list disappeared, and in its place was her character in Sword Art Online, standing in an empty hall.
In all directions, digital screens float, all of which are large cover images of each game.
Feel free to open it.
Some will also play a video of the game, as well as a string of detailed text introductions, so you can see at a glance what type of game it is
"It's only been the first day that so many games have been uploaded, I don't know if there's anything leisurely."
Ouyang Xiao looked embarrassed and muttered in a low voice.
As if in response to her words.
The screen in front of me suddenly "swooped", and switched to the list of casual games, where more than a dozen games had been uploaded.
"I'm going, so smart?"
"It can actually recognize speech and automatically filter and classify."
"This sense of technology is coming all of a sudden."
"The flood is far ahead!"
"Can I ask if there is such a sassy game?"
"I have a friend who asked me to ask about this."
The change in the operation of the platform made the audience in the live broadcast room can't help but be surprised.
It's like a high-end experience of watching a movie in a private theater.
"Huh? "Bomb Hall" also ported the virtual terminal? β
Suddenly, Ouyang Xiao's gaze was fixed on one of the games, and his eyes lit up.
She had played this game for a while before, and it was definitely a boutique in casual games, but she didn't expect it to be ported to the virtual side for the first time.
If you look closely, many games have been ported from PC and console, and she has played them all, which is a bit of a surprise.
"Platform porting is indeed the fastest way, let's try this "Bomb Hall" first."
Ouyang Xiao said, directly buy the game and click to open.
Swish!
The list around us quickly receded.
It turned into a game lobby.
Ouyang Xiao lowered his head and found that he only had two little short legs and little fat hands left, and the whole character became cute, and he immediately burst into laughter.
"Haha, this game is so interesting, it's weird to move, it's like wearing a puppet costume."
Familiar pictures, familiar characters, but from the third perspective to the first perspective, not to mention that there is really an alternative taste.
Laughter.
She immediately entered the room and began to fight.
Sure enough, just as expected, it appeared on a map full of squares, and planted bombs by "farting" to kill other players.
It's obviously a gameplay that has been outdated for many years, but after being transplanted into a virtual port, it unexpectedly became interesting.
The other players who had just entered the room were also shouting and shouting, fighting between the blocks, laughing so hard that their stomachs hurt and they couldn't stop at all.
The last one can't get enough of it.
Immediately call friends and join the game.
Obviously they are all in their twenties, and they are still playing more crazy than the other, and there is a feeling of regaining the happiness of childhood.
This also caused.
The old game with a small budget, which was originally just used to test the waters, suddenly exploded again, setting off a wave of nostalgia on the Internet.
β¦β¦
"It's on fire, our game is on fire!"
"Director, come and see!"
Watson Games.
An excited voice rang out.
The man in charge of the "Bomb Hall" project hurried over from a distance, looking puzzled.
But when he saw the sales of "Bomb Hall" on the first day of the launch of Honghuang Virtual, his eyes couldn't stop widening.
β10β¦β¦ 100,000!? Sold 100,000 copies in one day?? β
Not to mention him, even the employees in charge of background data opened their mouths wide at this time, with a ghostly expression.
To know them this game.
The total sales volume is only a hundred thousand.
It's still been on the shelves for several years.
But now in one day, it has doubled, and it is outrageous to open the door to his mother, and it is outrageous to go home!
Click on the live broadcast platform to take a look.
There are really a lot of streamers who are streaming their own games.
"Virtual games, is it so fierce?"
The director was stunned for a long time before he finally held back a sentence from his mouth.
What followed was endless ecstasy.
"Quick! Notify the production team and update the new content, we're about to take off! β
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Inform the boss and bring all the higher-ups over.
Because he found that they still underestimated the potential of virtual platforms.
What kind of new platform is this, it's a cash cow at all!
It's still the kind that will drop gold!
Not to mention other manufacturers.
Seeing that an old game like "Bomb Hall" from many years ago can become like this, my eyes suddenly turned red.
I don't care so much about you.
Hurriedly held a meeting to set up a project, moved out the old casual games from before, and transplanted them to the Honghuang platform.
The number of games that skyrocketed so that Lao Li, who had been observing the background data, couldn't help but be stunned.
"Are these guys crazy? Why are all the games coming to us? β
Desperately stuff it.
Some simply don't even bother to change the game introduction.
"Actually, I can understand, even I didn't expect that the performance of these old games would be so good, just to promote the platform and attract more manufacturers to come."
Lao Song stood aside with his hands folded, a little surprised.
And after statistics, the best response is actually those casual games, the kind that can be played by multiple people.
"Or ...... Do we make a new game too? Lao Li proposed.
Since the announcement of the virtual technology, more than half a year has passed, and they are basically busy with the platform, and they can't take a break at all.
Now that it has finally stabilized, it is naturally very hot to see such a large flow, and I also want to make one myself.
"Yes, yes, but we have to transplant "Yu-Gi-Oh" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" first, so that all platforms can be interconnected."
"It's simple, we started preparing last year, and it should be completed in the near future."
One of these two games has a ready-made image, and the other has a small content, so it is better to port it to the virtual side.
As for the rest.
Due to the large amount of content, the difficulty of porting is not much worse than making a new game, and there is no way to start construction for the time being.
We can only wait for more manpower to be freed up in the future.
"Okay, when Mr. Chen comes back, I'll discuss with him again to see what to do next."
Lao Song said and turned around and left, and went to work on other things.
And at this time.
Kilometers away on the street.
Chen Lin, who had just finished talking to Tang Jun at the Juhard Branch, was sitting in the car back to the studio, with a pensive face.
On this trip, he found a total of four news.
First, Juhard intends to complete the divestment of the host market within two years and will continue to operate, but will not invest too many resources and switch to the virtual industry.
Second, Penguin has a stake in Nintendo and SΓΆni, and if it does develop virtual devices, it may share them to expand overseas markets.
Thirdly, the CMA in England is showing signs of relenting and seems to be meeting to discuss the introduction of virtual equipment.
Fourth, countries on the other side of the ocean are preparing to limit the outflow of chip semiconductors in order to slow down their expansion.
Four news, it can be said that it is a mixed bag.
But one thing is certain, all parties have not yet made a dead hand, because they still have to rely on the inflow of equipment to promote the development of the virtual industry.
Of course.
All of this is based on the fact that they have not yet developed the equipment.
Speaking of the field of chip semiconductors, foreign technology is indeed much ahead of China, and it is only a matter of time before part of the principle is dismantled from the virtual helmet.
The only difference is how much it disassembles and what level of realism it can reach.
To sum it up.
Technology and cutting-edge equipment are sufficient, but what is lacking is only core information.
Other words.
He has at least a few more years to develop.
That's good news for him.
"Boss, I'm going to the company building soon."
Qin Meng, who was in charge of driving, suddenly spoke.
"Well, I see, just drive into the underground parking lot."
Chen Lin looked through the car window and looked at the streets around him that were gradually becoming familiar.
Then he thought of something, and suddenly asked: "Lao Qin, how much do you know about the domestic chip semiconductor industry?" β
"Chip semiconductors, that's a cutting-edge industry of science and technology, which can be understood by us ordinary people." Qin Meng said while driving seriously.
"However, I heard that since our studio developed virtual equipment, many places have invested in research and development, as well as purchasing equipment, and the development is indeed much faster than before."
"And this?" Chen Lin said in surprise.
"That's not, we ordinary people don't know much, but we know that we can't do things without money, no one invested in chips and semiconductors before, of course it was sluggish, and now we have invested more, isn't it just a sudden up?"
The words are very straightforward, but they are also easy to understand.
As he spoke, the car had left the street and entered the underground parking lot, where it was parked steadily.
