Chapter 141: Real Physics Engine

Emperor Dermatitis is a starry Sky streamer, and most of his fans are loyal players of the game.

Therefore, most of the questions from the audience in the live broadcast room revolved around the game "Star Emperor".

As everyone knows.

Brother Tie Otaku is a big man, except for the explosion in the forum community, it is difficult to meet him offline.

It's rare to be met by the anchor and arrest a real person offline, so you can't spur it hard?

"Brother Ba, someone in the live broadcast room asked, when are you cooking new poop?"

Chen Ba: "......"

As soon as this question came out, Xiao Lu, who was sitting on the side, instantly laughed.

Who are these people?

What is a new poop called? If you want to inquire about the situation of the new game, just ask directly, do you do this kind of disgusting question, are you doing it on purpose?

"No poop."

Chen Ba, who took a long breath to regain his composure, said slowly: "The next new game, I will bet on my career, and it will not be poop." ”

"Good!"

When Xiao Lu and Emperor Dermatitis heard this, they applauded very facelessly.

The audience in the live broadcast room is not so easy to fool, and when they heard Brother Ba's words, they have begun to help Brother Ba find a new direction for entrepreneurship.

Are you kidding?

What Brother Ba said, it would be good to have one truth in ten sentences. Especially when he guarantees that the game is foolproof, don't think about it, he must be bragging.

Rhetoric in the development phase, silence in early access, and gibberish in the official release are all old traditions.

"Brother Naha, can you tell me what the theme of the new game is? Will Tianba Studio still develop games similar to the Oriental Xianxia genre like "Star Emperor"? ”

"The new game is a racing game."

"Oriental Xianxia? It depends! ”

Chen Ba shook his head and said: "I also like Dongfang Xianxia very much, after all, the previous works such as fairy swords and ancient swords have indeed had a great influence on me. ”

"But as you know, it's not easy to do, and it's hard to make a show."

The ancient sword of fairy sword is the memory of a generation.

Many people have a dream of Xianxia in their hearts, and making a successful Xianxia game is also Chen Ba's dream.

But it's not easy to do......

"The Emperor of the Starry Sky" is a sword that goes off the rails, although it is an Oriental Xianxia, but in fact, the theme has little impact, and it is the game screen and special effects that are played.

In other words, "The Emperor of the Starry Sky" is really not as pure as the ancient sword of the fairy sword, at least there are not so many Xianxia elements, the character is just a Xianxia name, and the core is still the King of Fighters fighting game.

A pure Xianxia game may have to be role-playing to have that flavor.

"What about the picture?"

Without waiting for the audience in the live broadcast room to ask questions, Emperor Dermatitis asked: "Even if you don't consider the theme of Xianxia, is there still a game like "The Emperor of the Starry Sky" with heavy special effects?" ”

"There will be, but not now."

Chen Ba gave a reply that no one expected, that is, the average configuration of players is a bit too low.

Starry Sky was the first game to be developed using the Dream Five engine, and other Dream Five games were born later.

But these games all have a common problem, that is, the configuration threshold is too high, and without a good computer configuration, it is difficult for this kind of game to run smoothly.

So since "The Emperor of the Stars", Chen Ba has never considered developing another game with the same top-notch picture effects.

You don't have to know that, do you?

For this kind of game, it is enough to have a "Star Emperor". No matter how many more games are developed, they can only meet the experience of a few people, and most players can't experience it.

"Star Emperor" is like a high-end sports car owned by a car manufacturer, very powerful and top-notch, but the threshold is too high, and it is destined to be just a carnival for a few people."

"Do you know which are the main sales models of Volkswagen, Toyota and General Motors, which are the giants of the automotive industry?"

Chen Ba said this, in fact, the audience in the live broadcast room and the Emperor of Dermatitis understood.

It's not that you don't want to develop a game like this, it's that the market is too small. Tianba Studio still focuses on the mainstream player configuration, and develops some "family car" and "grocery cart" games.

This is determined by market demand, not what game Ba Ge says will develop any game.

If he really wants to be so willful and obstinate, Tianba Studio may not be far from bankruptcy and closure.

"Well, it's a pity."

"What a pity?"

Chen Ba said angrily: "I hinted at it like this, you still don't understand what I mean?" Do I have to say yes? ”

"Huh? What are you hinting at? ”

"Brother Ba means ......"

Xiao Lu, as the best mouth substitute, decisively said what was in his heart for Brother Ba: "Want to play a game with a giant top of picture quality and special effects? Yes! But can you go to Xianyu Digital first to upgrade your computer configuration, otherwise it will be difficult for Brother Ba to do things! ”

Emperor Dermatitis: "......"

is worthy of being a bully!

It's a pity that he still puts it aside, and I think the reason why Brother Ba doesn't do "Star Emperor 2" is that the market is too small.

Unexpectedly, Brother Ba's subtext was: Want to play "Star King 2" with better picture quality? Go to Xianyu Digital Consumption!

You don't consume, you don't upgrade the configuration, where does Brother Ba get the motivation to make a sequel?

"Those who know me, Xiao Lu also!"

After giving Xiao Lu a thumbs up, Chen Ba waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's answer one more question one last time, we have to go back to the studio." ”

"Okay, okay!"

Brother Ba said the last question, that is the last question, the Emperor of Dermatitis, who knows that the opportunity is rare, did not watch the barrage this time, but asked the question he was most curious about.

"Brother Ba, the new game is a racing theme, what does it look like? Can you elaborate on that? ”

"Uh......"

Chen Ba almost said the phrase "what is there to talk about in PPT".

But he looked at the eyes of Emperor Dermatitis who was so expectant, and there were so many viewers in the live broadcast room, he was really embarrassed to tell the truth.

Forget it, let's blow the news.

For the sake of the other party inviting him and Xiao Lu to eat two bowls of pork knuckle rice, Chen Ba felt that he should also return the gift and reveal something that has not been made public for the time being.

"The new game will be an online racing game, where players will drive cars with other players in online mode, through the streets and alleys of Jiangning City, and feel the adrenaline rush ......"

"What I can reveal is that the new game will be different from other similar games, and that is the choice of cars, maybe not as many sports cars or luxury cars as everyone expects."

Chen Ba also knows that many people may be accustomed to driving a good car when they play racing games, so they take precautions in advance: "In our game, most of the models entered are some cheap family cars. ”

"Of course, just because we don't have luxury cars and sports cars doesn't mean we have very few models to choose from in this game."

"On the contrary, although there are fewer sports cars and luxury cars, we have entered almost every family model you can buy on the market, whether it is an electric car or a gasoline car, an SUV or a small car, and even the Wuling series of ......."

Wow!

Hearing this, Emperor Dermatitis was a little excited and said, "Does it really include all the cars?" Is it all the cars you can buy on the market? ”

"Of course!"

"We will do our best to enter familiar models, and don't be disappointed if some unpopular cars are not entered, and we will also solve the problem when the time comes."

The diversification of models has always been the focus of Chen Ba's emphasis, and he will also strive to let everyone play familiar models in the game.

Fortunately, Brother Dong has done a great job in this regard.

Yang Dong collected the information of the models on sale of mainstream auto brands at home and abroad, and after excluding more than 500,000 model choices, the rest reached cooperation with the brand.

The price is very affordable.

In fact, it is not expensive in the first place, after all, this is equivalent to free advertising space. Other car manufacturers are not stupid, and if someone is willing to add their own models to the game, why wouldn't they be happy?

Although the gamer's car-buying potential is not very high, there is also a score situation.

For example, on the steam platform, this group of people who like to play stand-alone machines really has no potential to buy cars and consume them? Joke! This group of young people is precisely the main group of car buyers!

BBA has gone to sponsor League of Legends events, is it not clear that the marketing department of gamers has the spending potential?

If you are willing to sponsor, you must have analyzed it in advance and thought it was profitable to sponsor.

So this kind of racing game, car manufacturers are not exclusive, after all, everyone wants to promote, what a good publicity opportunity, why not accept cooperation?

As long as it is not deliberately smeared, it doesn't matter if you hack a certain brand's model to death.

Of course, Chen Ba will not discredit it.

"Rush" has a set of numerical systems, which will determine the actual performance of each car according to the power configuration of each car.

It's all very fair.

There is no such thing as optimizing a car brand's model to make his car run faster than others......

"It's pretty common in the industry."

Yang Dong said an example of a well-known sports car brand that likes to engage in shady transactions with game developers, and his sports car is like a "god" in the game, and players love to drive it.

Can you actually do it......

It can only be said that the game does not represent reality! The performance in other people's games is not the same thing as the performance on the track in reality.

"It's just self-deception."

Chen Ba feels that this kind of shady play in the game, make a certain car perform better than similar cars, or even kill similar cars, is really a bit abstract.

What if you win the game?

Have the ability to run two laps in reality, do you dare to go off the track? Why is it so good that it strains off the track?

Moreover, it is really a bit low for car manufacturers to engage in this method.

Dealers exaggerate the publicity, and the car manufacturers themselves come to the end and engage in this kind of unrealistic false propaganda, which can only be said that marketing is more important than everything.

"Leave them alone, we'll just do ours."

Chen Ba is too lazy to think about the chaos in the car circle, this is a famous dung pit on the Internet, which smells worse than the mobile phone circle, so he doesn't want to be contaminated.

"How's the game's engine?"

"Great!"

Speaking of game engines, Yang Dong was shocked: "Brother Ba, where did you get the physics engine?" ”

That's too top!

As a game practitioner, Yang Dong also knows that the key to the success or failure of a racing game is its "physics engine".

A good physics engine can make a racing game even better.

And a physics engine that is so rotten that it is pus, not to mention whether the game is fun or not, just the endless game bugs are enough for a headache.

He thought that Brother Ba was going to buy a ready-made racing physics engine.

didn't think about it, Brother Ba was prepared.

Unknowingly, pull out a real physics engine specifically for racing games, and it's just as powerful as it gets!

"As long as it's easy to use."

Chen Ba pursed his lips and said, "Don't care where this physical engine came from, you just said that in the process of using it, did you find any problems?" ”

"Nope!"

Yang Dong admired it very much: "It's too top, I think it's too wasteful to use such a great physics engine to make a game." ”

No problem?

Chen Ba frowned, feeling that there was a big mystery in this matter.

This physics engine is a new auxiliary function unlocked after the upgrade of Tiehanhan's system. It can maximize the simulation of physical phenomena and effects, and calculate the trajectory and collision reaction.

He also tried.

The system is indeed a high-quality product!

The power of this engine is, in his opinion, simply two decades ahead of the industry. Yang Dong is right, this thing is really wasteful to use to develop games.

But the problem is that this can only be used to develop games! Tie Hanhan's system didn't let him use it for other ......

Moreover, with Chen Ba's understanding of his golden finger, most of the flaws in this engine are very hidden, but they have not been discovered for the time being.

But it's easy to use.

Even if the engine is really faulty, the basic physics simulation is excellent, and it is a perfect way to develop a racing game.

"Good Fellow......"

Yang Dong explained: "I used this physical engine to simulate the scene of the car crashing into the guardrail, and the effect is really a perfect restoration of the scene of the car accident. ”

The collision is well done, and the game is not bad.

At the heart of this kind of racing game is the power of the physics engine. The more powerful the physics engine is, the better the simulation effect, the more fun the game will be.

Moreover, the powerful physics engine can simulate more than just the collision, rolling, and bounce phenomena that everyone roughly understands.

It can also simulate more complex mechanisms such as cylinders, valves, propeller shafts, and hinges.

What does this mean?

This means that the reason why the car in the game can run is not because of the mechanism in the game itself, but because of the physical phenomenon simulated by the physics engine according to the combination of spare parts.

Can't get it?

To put it another simple and crude way, in other games, no matter how serious the car collision is, it should be driven as it should be, and the performance will not be affected in the slightest.

But in Turbo Racing, a collision between the car and other objects can damage the internal accessories, which can affect the car's performance or even lie in place.

"We have the most realistic physics engine to restore the most realistic car accident scene!"

Yang Dong said with a smile: "The era of brainless collision is over, playing our game, still brainless collision, then wait to be blocked by the insurance company." ”

"There is an insurance company?"

Xiao Lu was greatly surprised, this was a new setting he had never heard of.

"Of course there are insurance companies!"

Chen Ba explained: "Otherwise, with this kind of physical engine, if the player hits too badly and has no money in his pocket, wouldn't he be able to repair it?" ”

Saying that it is an insurance company, it is actually a form of free car repair for players.

Otherwise, in terms of the brutality of the players, I am afraid that if they drive it, they will suddenly go bankrupt and cannot repair the car.

Of course!

Insurance companies also have claims restrictions, and if players don't know how to converge and still have no brains, the premium will rise the next year.

If the premium rises for three consecutive years, the insurance will be denied in the third year, and you will not be able to buy insurance at all.

What?

Which insurance company is this, you ask, with such a bad attitude? Actually pick customers?

In this regard, Chen Ba just wants to say, our Tianba insurance is like this, if you are not satisfied, you will go to other companies to buy insurance!
