Chapter 56 Optimizing the Game Engine 【Ask for a monthly ticket】

"Boss Niu, this is a concept draft of the game, please read it over."

Niu Geng was taken aback: "Come out so soon?"

Reaching out to take the manuscript, he looked at it and said, "Did you stay up all night in the past few days? Although work is important, the body is the capital of revolution."

Li Chao quickly waved his hand: "No, no, it's just luck. The studio recruited a few employees who really love games. We discussed this concept draft together. If there is no problem, I am ready to start production."

Speaking of which, Li Chao is indeed the Emperor of Europe. Several people in the team he formed have outstanding abilities and have experience working in major game companies.

I also have a deep understanding of domestic games.

It's just that I can't understand the atmosphere of the original company and want to develop the domestic game in my heart, so I voluntarily resigned.

Join a fledgling game studio like Spark.

A large part of the reason is that they saw something in common with themselves from Li Chao, and they are willing to believe that Spark Studios can stick to their original intentions and develop high-quality stand-alone domestic games that are not inferior to overseas game companies.

As Niu Geng carefully checked the paper concept draft, Li Chao's heart couldn't help but hang up.

As the saying goes, if you want to get gold, you have to bear the weight. Although he is the person in charge of Xinghuo Studio, the pressure is equally scary. He is afraid that he will not do well enough and live up to the expectations of the company and Mr. Niu.

And this concept draft was the first assignment he handed in.

10 minute later.

Niu Geng slowly put down the paper manuscript in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Li Chao, and uttered two words under his expectant expression.

"feasible."

This game concept draft is based on the ancient mythical story Journey to the West, boldly depicts the heaven as the dark side, and Monkey King Wukong as the main line, intending to restore the oriental magical world in the hearts of players.

Journey to the West, as a classic IP that is familiar to everyone in China, already has enough national dividends. Taking it as the theme is indeed easier to be accepted by players than the original world background, and at the same time greatly reduces the risk of hitting the street.

Li Chao runs the Xinghuo studio with passion, but he doesn't show the mistake of high-sightedness and low-handedness.

Do something that looks great.

Niu Geng was quite surprised by this.

But on the other hand, the theme of Journey to the West can be regarded as a bad street theme in the game industry. If there is no top-notch picture, rich details, and immersive combat experience and sufficient plot interpretation, it still cannot be completely popular. And this The technical requirements are extremely demanding.

So before the joy on Li Chao's face fully unfolded, Niu Geng continued: "This concept draft is really good, but it may not be easy to fully present the contents inside!"

really.

As soon as these words came out, Li Chao's expression froze instantly.

He paused for a few seconds before answering: "Boss Niu is indeed right. If you want to make the game effect perfect, the production cycle will definitely be extended a lot, and it may take a year or two..."

A wry smile appeared on his face.

But Niu Geng didn't have the patience to wait a year or two.

The reason why Niu Geng established a wholly-owned subsidiary was simply to get rid of the restrictions of the game and make money faster. If there is no return for a long time, what is the significance of the existence of Xinghuo Studio?
In this case, the only solution may fall on the optimization point.

After turning his thoughts quickly, Niu Geng added again: "Well, you go back to work first, I will try to find a way to see if I can make an upgrade on the basis of the open source game engine, and try to make it as soon as possible to meet the needs of the game. available."

"That's great!"

When Li Chao heard that Niu Geng was going to develop a game engine, he immediately fell into ecstasy.

Who is Niu Geng?

He can design a powerful artificial intelligence like Xingling, and it is nothing to upgrade a game engine. As long as the performance exceeds the existing game engine, I believe this domestic stand-alone game will be launched soon.

In this regard, Li Chao is convinced!
Immediately afterwards, just as Li Chao was about to return to the downstairs studio, he seemed to suddenly think of something.

He retracted his stepping foot, turned to Niu Geng and said, "By the way, Mr. Niu, this game hasn't been named yet, why don't you name it."

"...Dark Wukong."

When Niu Geng heard the sound, he casually said a name.

"Dark Wukong... This name is really good, it fits the background of the game very well." Li Chao repeated a few words in his mouth, looking very satisfied, and left the office after a few more words.

……

……

That night.

Inside a villa in Longhu Summer Palace.

Niu Geng sat in the study on the second floor, staring at a program interface opened on the computer screen.

After reading Li Chao's concept draft during the day, Niu Geng felt that this game had more potential and value, so he planned to use optimization points again to create a game engine with performance far exceeding the industry's top level.

For this reason, he has asked Xingling to find a free and open source game engine.

"There are two optimization points left, so let's buy eight points first!"

At this time, Niu Geng looked at the number of remaining optimization points displayed on the light screen of the game, thinking secretly in his heart.

A very complicated thing like a game engine would not change much with just a little bit of optimization, and it couldn't meet Niu Geng's requirements for the production cycle.

And if you want to optimize it again, you have to hit ten points directly.

So in the end Niu Geng used [-] personal funds to buy another [-] optimization points.

Anyway, this amount of money is nothing to him now, and the days when 1000 yuan had to be carefully calculated are long gone forever.

[You will use optimization points to optimize the open source game engine, once selected, it is irrevocable, and the optimization effect is subject to the facts]

As the familiar pop-up window appeared, Niu Geng clicked all of the items below without even looking at it.

next second.

The column for the optimization point becomes zero again.

……

Two 10 minutes later.

Niu Geng relaxed his body, leaned on the chair, his face could not hide his disappointment: "No way, when did the optimization effect become so bad?"

After his careful research, he found that the optimized game engine is not very ideal in actual operation.

The standard is comparable to the top game engines developed by overseas companies.

I don't know if it's because Niu Geng is using the open source version, which leads to a slight reduction in the effect of optimization points, and the direction of optimization is not in the center of gravity.

But even so, this optimized new game engine can still make many game companies flock to it when it is brought to the domestic market.

It's just that with the performance of the current game engine, it would take seven or eight months to produce a large-scale game at the fastest.

It was really not within Niu Geng's acceptance range.

So after a short thought, Niu Geng decided to optimize it for the third time.

　Ask for a monthly ticket recommendation ticket at the end of the month. It would be better if there is a reward. These days are related to whether this book can be promoted.
