Reborn on the Internet: Starting with Games

Chapter 141 Self-research?Easier said than done!
After playing for only a few days, if you have money, the basic generals can reach the ceiling of around 10, and you can basically abuse them at will.

It is necessary to limit the number of actions or conquests, such as adding a mechanism such as energy value or fatigue value.

In this case, it will be a test of strategy. With limited energy, who should be attacked first?Who to hit again?You need to think twice before making a decision, and you cannot attack haphazardly.

At the end of the testing period, Chen Hao participated in the game review meeting at Tianshu Studio.

In addition to the suggestions put forward by Chen Hao that were adopted at the meeting, others also put forward some good suggestions.

For example, a planner proposed the setting of the Three Kingdoms No Waste Card, that is, R-level generals can also be promoted to the SSR level, and can compete with generals with original SSR qualifications. However, attention should be paid to the balance of the game, so that the diversity of the game will be better.

There are also mall props to improve Three Kingdoms OL, such as material bonus cards: output increases by 20% per unit time, etc.

There is also a programmer who suggested that you can refer to the first recharge settings of Tanwan Blue Moon private server. The first recharge of 6 yuan will give you a choice of three powerful generals.
After the meeting, Chu Xuan looked at the various improvement and optimization requirements recorded in his notebook and said, come on, the second round has begun.

After the meeting, Chen Hao ran to the 13th floor, found Wu Hanqing, and asked about the current progress of the corporate guards.

Enterprise Guard is the name given by Wu Hanqing to the enterprise-level security protection system they are currently developing.

Wu Hanqing replied: "It will be online before the end of July."

Chen Hao nodded and said, "Well, we will try it on ourselves in early August and then introduce it to the market."

At present, the technical team of Net Shield is divided into two groups according to the seven-three-open rule. The larger group is developing the enterprise guard called Moat.

The team responsible for various safety protections of the company's current products is named Great Wall.

Chen Hao then told Wu Hanqing to ask the Great Wall team to assist in testing the security-related issues of Three Kingdoms OL.

After finishing these things, I returned to the office. My butt was still hot, and Xu Changlong came over eagerly holding a notebook.

"Mr. Chen, I need support!"

After Xu Changlong finished demonstrating a short demo of a temporary martial arts world OL, Chen Hao looked at the stiff movements of the characters and the picture was a bit rough. He felt his teeth hurt. This was no better than a miracle.

Xu Changlong said seriously, "This is based on the effect that our current game engine can achieve. In the 3D large-scale open seamless world we have discussed, now we are facing two problems. First, as we just saw, we are currently facing The existing game engines, regardless of rendering, physical characteristics, and model smoothness, cannot achieve the results we want. We need to independently develop a new engine to support the huge 3D game world. Second, we need 3D motion capture technology , personnel and equipment.”

Game development is indeed not Chen Hao's area of ​​expertise. Most of his previous development was website and system development. Although they are both programmers, they have taken two professional specialization routes.

Who said that programmers will definitely be able to repair computers? It’s the same truth.

So Chen Hao was at a loss for a while, rubbing his head and saying, "How can I support you?"

"I need people, experience and money. People are talents who are proficient in game engine development and related experience. We have conducted research and found that among the game engines currently on the market, there is a BigWorld game engine just announced abroad last year, which can meet most of our requirements. .

We can buy it and learn from their principles and experience, and conduct research and development based on our current situation, including the motion capture system just mentioned for the smoothness of character movements and the sense of strike, which is a crucial part for martial arts games. "

"You sit down first. There is tea and coffee there. You can pour it yourself if you want to drink it. Let me think about it."

people, experience, money
These three concepts kept spinning in his mind, and Chen Hao kept thinking.

There are only two sources of talent, external recruitment and internal cultivation.

In terms of experience, can we learn from the foreigners and learn skills to defeat the foreigners?It's really not possible
Money is the best part to talk about. Just throw it into it for the game engine.

Ten minutes later, Xu Changlong drank two cups of coffee. Seeing that his boss was still meditating with his eyes closed, he was too embarrassed to interrupt. When he wanted to get up to get a third cup, he heard Chen Hao's voice.

After Xu Changlong heard the solution mentioned by Chen Hao, it was very helpful to have a boss with strong ability and ability to solve problems. He strode away with great ambition.

After a while, Chen Hao found human resources Han Qian and Zhou Xiao and Lu Tao from Century Interactive Entertainment.

Previously, three or four experienced programmers were poached from Xishanju, and Han Qian was asked to contact headhunters to continue to increase the offensive on Xishanju. At the same time, she recruited talents with experience in 3D game engines on the market. The remuneration package could be based on the market price. Raise it to 50%. If you are really capable, there is no upper limit. However, for this type of talent, Chen Hao will be responsible for the final round.

Let Zhou Xiao and Lu Tao take stock of their 200-person technical team. The job types include mainly planning, artists and programmers. The projects involve Miracle, Ragnarok, and Bubble Hall. In addition to retaining the necessary operation and maintenance support technicians, all other resources are provided to Tianxuan. Game Studio Tilt.

Employees who are interested in the Martial Arts World OL project can also apply for internal transfer.

Three days later, Century Interactive Entertainment spent 400 million to purchase the right to use the BigWorld game engine. On the one hand, the game engine engineers of Tianxuan Studio were asked to learn from and use it, and on the other hand, the great masters of Net Shield were asked to try to counter it. Crack to compile.Through contact, Chen Hao also found out that the game engine headquarters provides training and learning opportunities.

He directly releases employee emails to all technical departments under the group.

"Comrades, Tianxuan Game Studio, Beidou Division of Century Interactive Entertainment, is in urgent need of game engine related talents, so we are taking three measures:

1. If you have classmates, friends, or relatives who are good at this field, please recommend them to the company. If you pass the resume screening, you will be rewarded 500 yuan, if you are successfully admitted, you will be rewarded 3000 yuan, and if you become a regular employee, you will be rewarded 5000 yuan.

2. The studio is also in urgent need of a large number of artists, planners, numbers and programmers. Students who are interested in the martial arts themes of Jin Yong and Gu Long can send an email to the email address of Xu Changlong, the head of Tianshu Studio, to apply. For internal job transfers, I have communicated with all leaders and will not be an obstacle.

3. The group has decided to send a team of about 30 people to Australia to further study the BigWorld game engine. All expenses will be paid by the group for a period of three months.The technical committee will review it, and after passing it, the company will re-sign a three-year long-term labor contract. "

After finishing it, Chen Hao took the initiative to talk to Xu Changlong. Poaching people from Xishanju and the talent market would bring new engine technology, plus the BigWorld engine technology brought back by overseas further study and training, combined with the existing three Together, we believe we will create Beidou’s own game engine.

An additional 5000 million was allocated to Tianxuan Studio, including training and living expenses for overseas study personnel and the creation of a motion capture studio.

Since it is a martial arts MMORPG, the character's actions and every move shown in the battle should be combined with the descriptions in the book and real-life moves, and it is best to add special effects at the end.

Therefore, Chen Hao has already thought about the candidates for motion capture.

Among all martial arts stars, Bruce Lee ranks first in terms of actual combat.

After the Bruce Lee era, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Sammo Hung, and Donnie Yen took up the banner of later action movies.

But if all factors are considered, in terms of screen performance, Jet Li is undoubtedly the "best-looking actor".

First of all, Jet Li is a traditional martial arts champion and a master of martial arts. He is proficient in all eighteen martial arts, and he has a strong performance nature. What he pursues is the beauty of movements: including posture, strength, speed, skill, etc. .

One should not be enough, so we have to think about other Wuying-level candidates. Chen Hao seems to have Zhao Wenzhuo, Zhang Jin, and Wu Yue in his mind. Finding two more female players will probably be enough.

When Chen Hao told Xu Changlong these ideas, the latter was a little worried, "Everything else is easy to say, will a star as big as Jet Li come?"

As long as the money is available, Buffett can have dinner with him, let alone Jet Li.

"You don't need to think about this issue. What you have to think about is how to make all the preliminary preparations. Just tell me when the time comes!

Lao Xu, now all the resources inside and outside the company are focused on this place, I am ALLIN. "

Xu Changlong showed gratitude and issued a military order, "Don't worry, boss, the motion capture studio will be ready by the end of October, and our own engine will be developed by the end of the year."

In the next few days, Xu Changlong divided Tianxuan Studio into three parts. One part was the game engine team, the other part was the motion capture studio preparatory team, and the last part was the remaining work types. The three groups worked together at the same time.

After exchanging ideas with Chu Xuan, he followed the example of Tianshu Studio and purchased a large number of martial arts novels by Jin Yong and Gu Long, and placed them in visible locations around the studio so that planners could read a large number of original works.

The purpose is to design the main line, branch lines and other various plots and tasks that fit the plot. The ideal situation is to allow players to learn various unique skills by entering a sect and completing tasks, and at the same time, the task route can be like reading a novel. Relive the classic plot in the book.

He also asked the art designers to design various costumes and characters, and there was a lot of work to be done in the early stage.

Thinking about the boss's instructions, I asked the artist to make the Martial Arts World OL video in advance.

Why, because Boss Chen said that he is going to hold a press conference again and prepare in advance.

Half a month later, the size of Tianxuan Studio quadrupled from the original 50 people to about 200 people. As the most favored project of the boss, everyone signed a confidentiality agreement prohibiting the leakage of some martial arts content. Any information inside the world OL.

There are only 72 places for further study abroad to study the BigWorld game engine, and at the last count, engineers signed up.

After three rounds of selection by the technical committee, a roster of 32 people was finally determined, and each person signed a new labor contract and confidentiality agreement with the company.

Brother’s investment in computer room construction and servers, plus the martial arts world OL, these two projects, soft and hard, are like two bottomless pits. No matter how much money is poured into it, it feels like there is no splash. Oh, by the way, there is also a piece of land. Two hundred million.

Chen Hao felt like he had become a Moonlight Clan again, no different from before.

Sometimes he also asks himself, why do you have to push so hard?
Shanda has fallen from its peak, NetEase is lurking on the side, and Tencent has not yet awakened. There is no need to be so nervous, right?

In fact, Chen Hao is a complete pessimist, otherwise he would not prepare more plan B for everything.
