Analog company starts with technology

"Mr. Niu, this is a concept draft of the game. Please take a look."

Niu Geng was stunned: "You came out so soon?"

He reached out to take the manuscript, looked at it and said, "Have you stayed up all night a lot in the past few days? Although work is important, your body is the capital of revolution."

Li Chao waved his hand quickly: "No, no, I'm just lucky. The studio has recruited a few employees who really love games. We discussed this concept draft together. If there are no problems, I will start production."

Speaking of which, Li Chao is indeed the emperor of Europe. There are several people in the team he has formed who are very capable and have experience working in major game companies.

I also have a deep understanding of domestic games.

I just couldn't stand the atmosphere of the original company and wanted to develop the domestic game I wanted, so I voluntarily resigned.

Join Spark, a fledgling game studio.

A large part of the reason is that they see similarities with themselves in Li Chao, and are willing to believe that Spark Studio can stick to its heart and develop high-quality stand-alone domestic games that are not inferior to overseas game companies.

As Niu Geng carefully looked at the paper concept draft, Li Chao couldn't help but feel anxious.

As the saying goes, if you want to get gold, you must bear the weight. Although he is now the person in charge of Spark Studio, he is still under great pressure. 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 over.

ten minutes later.

Niu Geng slowly put down the paper manuscript in his hand, raised his eyes and stared at Li Chao, and uttered two words with an expectant look on his face.

"feasible."

This game concept draft is based on the ancient mythological story Journey to the West. It boldly portrays Heaven as the dark side and the Monkey King as the main line. It is intended to restore the oriental magical world in players' minds.

Journey to the West, as a well-known classic IP in China, already has enough national dividends. Using it as a theme is indeed more acceptable to players than an original world background, and at the same time, it greatly reduces the risk of being blocked.

Li Chao runs Spark Studio with a passionate passion, but does not show the mistake of being too ambitious and too weak.

Go do something that looks great.

Niu Geng was quite surprised by this.

But on the other hand, the Journey to the West theme can be considered a bad theme in the game industry. Without top-notch graphics, rich details, immersive combat experience and sufficient plot interpretation, it still cannot become completely popular, and this The technical requirements are extremely demanding.

So before the joy on Li Chao's face could fully unfold, Niu Geng continued: "This concept draft is indeed good, but it is not easy to fully present the content inside!"

really.

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

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

A wry smile appeared on his face.

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

The reason why Niu Geng established a wholly-owned subsidiary was simply to break away from the restrictions of the game and make money faster. If there is no return for a long time, then what is the meaning of Spark Studio's existence?

In this case, the only solution may lie in optimization.

After thinking quickly, Niu Geng added again: "Well, you go back to work first, and I will try to see if I can make an upgrade based on the open source game engine, and strive to meet the needs of the game and make it available as soon as possible." come out."

"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 Xing Ling, 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 online soon.

Li Chao firmly believes in this!

Then, just as Li Chao was about to go back to the studio downstairs, he seemed to suddenly think of something.

He took back his stepped foot and faced Niu Geng and said, "By the way, Mr. Niu, this game hasn't been named yet. Why don't you give it one?"

"...Dark Goku."

Niu Geng heard the sound and 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. He babbled a few more words before exiting the office.

…

…

That night.

Inside a villa in Longhu Summer Palace.

Niu Geng was sitting 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 potential and value, so he planned to use optimization points again to create a game engine whose performance far exceeded the top level in the industry.

To this end, he has asked Xingling to find a free open source game engine.

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

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

For something as complex as a game engine, there won't be much change with just a little optimization, and it won't be able to meet Niu Geng's production cycle requirements.

If you want to optimize twice, you must directly hit ten points.

So in the end Niu Geng used 8,000 personal funds to purchase eight more optimization points.

Anyway, this amount of money is nothing to him now. The days when he had to calculate carefully for a thousand yuan are long gone.

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

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

The next second.

The optimization point column became zero again.

…

Twenty minutes later.

Niu Geng relaxed and leaned on the chair, his face unable to conceal his disappointment: "No, when did the optimization effect become so bad?"

After careful study, he found that the optimized game engine was not ideal in actual operation.

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

I don’t know if it’s because Niu Geng is using the open source version, so the optimization effect is slightly compromised, and the optimization direction is not the focus.

But despite this, when this new optimized game engine is launched in the domestic market, it will still make many game companies flock to it.

But with the current performance of this game engine, making a large-scale game would require a production cycle of seven or eight months at the earliest.

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

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