United Green Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Linkage) is the production company of EBOX. Recently, they have been busy introducing more games. EBOX sales are imminent, and a large number of games need to be filled into the game library to strengthen the momentum.

"How unreasonable! This is your work achievement!?"

Zhang Zijie, the boss of the linkage company, looked at the game list handed over by his subordinates, and angrily fell on the table.In order to release the game console EBOX, Linkage has gathered several teams to develop games specifically for EBOX, many of which were dug back from abroad.It's disappointing that only ten games have been completed in total.

These ten games mainly include sports, music and racing games. These have precedents, so they are not difficult to develop.

In fact, these game development teams are also doing their due diligence, because they have been doing high-intensity work.Relying on small games alone is not enough, so Linkage has requested to make a masterpiece of a motion-sensing game, so they not only need to develop this game, but also need to spend time on several other small games.With such a dual-purpose, the development progress is naturally not very ideal.

"What do foreign third-party software vendors say?"

"Unfortunately, none of them are willing to enter the EBOX platform, and are more willing to develop software for Microsoft's Kinect. Because the conditions they offer are much better than ours. Moreover, they are mature platforms, and the prospect of game release is also better. .”

This can't be blamed on these people. Foreign games need to go through very strict scrutiny before they can enter China. In addition, third-party game manufacturers have insufficient confidence in EBOX, so naturally they will not easily enter this platform.Although the linkage company offered a good price for the third party compared to domestic ones, it was still far behind the foreign giants.

Zhang Zijie scratched his hair irritably. The domestic stand-alone game industry has been doing well in recent years. There are also many third-party software vendors, but there are very few developing motion-sensing games.Although the linkage company has also invited them to enter the EBOX platform, but they are enjoying the sweetness of the recovery of stand-alone games, and they will not invest in the development of unfamiliar fields.

"Ten games, as a bundled sale of the EBOX console is enough. It's a pity that there are not enough third-party software vendors. I'm afraid many potential customers will hold a wait-and-see attitude. This is not good."

Zhang Zijie had a headache.Only relying on the linkage company to develop games by itself cannot satisfy the market at all.If players can't play a few games throughout the year, the EBOX can only become an ornament in the end, and it will be moldy in the corner.

But now Linkage can only grit its teeth and hold on. When the domestic installed capacity reaches a certain level, those domestic third-party software vendors will enter this platform, and then they can breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Zhang, a businessman from Banzhai University has requested to meet with you. Would you like to meet?"

"Half house university? Invite him in quickly!"

At this time, the secretary knocked on the door and came in.Zhang Zijie was stunned for a moment, and then rushed in.As long as you are engaged in games, it is impossible not to know what half house university means. The virtual game system is much more advanced than the somatosensory game system.I don't know what will happen when this half-house university comes to find me?Zhang Zijie was full of doubts.

The person who came was Xie Chaochao from the Business Department of Banzhai University. After the two parties met and got to know each other for a while, they began to talk about the purpose of the trip.

"Mr. Zhang, I am here to discuss cooperation matters with the EBOX host of your linkage company under the order of Mr. Zhou Yixuan."

"Cooperation? Is Banzhai University also interested in somatosensory games?"

Zhang Zijie was calm on the surface, but he was a little excited in his heart.The appeal of Banzhai University in China is very important. If we can cooperate with it, it will definitely be very beneficial to EBOX.

"Yes, the "Ghost Blowing Lantern" game developed by our university itself has the function of a somatosensory game, so you can enter the EBOX with a little conversion. In addition, if our cooperative relationship is established, then our university will immediately add an EBOX team. How do you feel about developing games for this platform?"

There are five games released by Banzhai University: "Three Kingdoms", "Elf Kingdom", "Fighting War", "Ghost Blowing Lantern", and "Troubled Times". Except for the PC version of "Ghost Blowing Lantern", the others are only Can play in virtual system.This time, in order to cooperate with Linkage, Zheng Lu proposed to put these games together on the EBOX platform, which can be regarded as support for domestic consoles.

"Thank you for your support, we absolutely welcome Banzhai University to join us."

Naturally, Zhang Zijie would not refuse, and a verbal agreement was reached immediately.Next, we will talk about specific cooperation matters, such as EBOX's software and hardware platform architecture and standards.

Doing cross-platform games is actually more troublesome than imagined.Because the game development tools for each platform are different, it is necessary to relearn and master this tool.Daewoo once very much hoped that "Sword" could be successfully ported to the PS console, so Daewoo sent a transplant team, spent a year painstakingly studying the PS hardware, and spent a lot of money to finally port the old sword to the Sony platform.

Daewoo is full of hope, but Sony brings a very unfortunate news: the PS mainframe has been eliminated, and the game must be transplanted to the PS2 mainframe, and the hardware technology of PS2 and PS is very different.This is tantamount to overthrowing Daewoo's entire transplant project and starting over.It is said that the failure of this cooperation led to an estrangement between Daewoo and Sony. Since then, the PC game industry in Taiwan in my country has kept silent about game transplantation. The snobbery and business style of the Japanese video game industry has left an extremely profound lesson for the PC game development industry.

Fortunately, the game development tools of EBOX are not original, and the teachers and students of Banzhai University quickly mastered them.Action recognition technology is not a high-tech technology in Banzhai University. The second-level students have already mastered it, so there is no need for training.

Linkage announced the cooperation with Banzhai University in a very high-profile way, with the purpose of building momentum for EBOX and making everyone believe that there are enough third-party software vendors for EBOX.

...................................................

"Teacher Zheng Lu, do we really want to develop games for EBOX?"

During the lunch break, Lin Fan from Zheng Lu's group ran over and asked Zheng Lu this question.The above has notified that an EBOX team will be established, and some people will be selected from this group to develop EBOX games soon.

"Yeah, why don't you want to go? It's okay. If you are selected, you can bring it up. Banzhai University will not do things that force others."

"I really don't want to go. We have tried the EBOX game development tool. It is several levels lower than the one in our university. The result of the game produced will definitely not be good."

Song Yue from the same group also ran over, and she didn't want to go to that group either.Going there can indeed increase a little game development experience, but the technology of Banzhai University is obviously higher than one level, and learning here is the key.Besides, how long EBOX can exist is also a question. If you master the development of EBOX, but it dies halfway, isn't it just a waste of time?

After hearing the complaints from the students, Zheng Lu realized that he had taken it for granted again.I originally thought that students would be happy to increase their game development experience, but they didn't take into account that students are more willing to be familiar with the development tools of the half-house university.Besides, these students were originally prepared for the future of the half-house university, and there is really no need to serve other platforms.

"Okay, I understand your request, and I will report it to the higher authorities."

After comforting the students, Zheng Lu thought about how to deal with it.On the other hand, when Jiang Miao heard that Zheng Lu wanted to report to the higher authorities, he naturally thought of Immortal Banzhai, and only he could influence some decisions of Banzhai University.

If the students don't go, who will lead the development of "The Dream of Jianghu Knights" if only the teachers are transferred?After much deliberation, Zheng Lu also felt that the only way to solve the problem was through a simple system.So he ran back to his dormitory and found the girl with glasses.

"Glass girl, if you connect the EBOX game development tool to your computer, can you use this tool as the basis for making games?"

"Okay, but the effect of the game produced will be greatly reduced. Is this okay?"

The function of the glasses girl can play 100% of the functions of the EBOX, but compared with the tools currently used by Banzhai University, the gap is really not that big.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I just wanted to support the domestic production. They have already used the performance of their mainframe to the limit. If it still can't make it stand out, then it can only be blamed for not being good enough."

Zheng Lu felt relieved when she got the affirmative answer from the glasses girl.So this so-called EBOX group is served by the glasses girl.The set of EBOX game development tools was placed in the basement and connected to the main brain.

Through the powerful functions of the glasses girl, several original games were transplanted in an instant.The rest of the game development is not in a hurry, and Zheng Lu wants to train his students, so he came up with another method.

"Mr. Zhou, the EBOX team is made by our Banzhaixianren team. Those teachers and students concentrate on their own game development. In addition, I want to solicit EBOX game development plans from among those students. The requirement is that the plans must be done. Please inform me in detail."

This is a good time for students to showcase their talents, while also giving them a general understanding of market acceptance.What kind of games are popular and what kind of games will hit the market, these are all things that can only be understood by practical experience.
