After returning to Suhua from Ninghai, Meng Huo focused his work on "The Rebellious Lu Lu Xiu".

Alice did not follow him back, because Shen Jie had not left the comic island. During the day, Meng Huo was very busy, because within a few days he had to return to Ninghai to start making "The Wine of Eternal Life". He wanted to make the work of "The Rebellious Lulu Xiu" more stable.

The evening is rather leisurely. The March serial manuscript of "The Spirit of Chess" was painted as early as last year. Therefore, Meng Huo did not have to participate in Qin Ya and the others' paintings in the studio. He took a rest for one night and planned to play games the next night. Let's take a look at the production.

After dinner, Meng Huo went out and pressed the elevator, but when the elevator opened, he found Shen Jie standing inside.

"Why, you want to go out?" Shen Jie asked in surprise. She hadn't seen Meng Huo for a long time. Today, she finally took the time to see him and say goodbye to him. She didn't expect that she would be going out when she met Meng Huo by accident.

"Well, I have to go to the game department once." Meng Huo frowned. "Why didn't you say anything before you came? The employees of the game department are working overtime and waiting for me to pass, so I can't go tonight."

Shen Jie didn't expect Meng Huo to go out, so she didn't notify me in advance, but she didn't stop Meng Huo when she saw Meng Huo go out: "That's okay, take me with you, for the big night, your past is not an important job, right? ?"

Meng Huo nodded: "I just go and have a look."

He felt that it would be no big deal to take Shen Jie there, so he walked into the elevator and walked with her to the game production department. On the way, he also explained to Shen Jie the specific reasons for going to the game production department this time.

This matter has to start with the New Year. "Ad" ended a year ago, so the painters Meng Huo transferred from the game production department to help also retired. Meng Huo thought of this. After going to work, he had to give them a game to make.

The business of the game department has also been idle for a long time. Meng Huo also made some preparations for new games during the holidays, but he did not prepare well because before he was ready, He Qian called and told him that he hoped that he would not launch new games for now. .

"Ah, I know about this." Shen Jie heard this and nodded: "I was by your side at the time. I remember she was saying that she had found a few very good game designers and wanted to try to be a game designer by herself. A game, right?"

"Yes." Meng Huo nodded. When He Qian transferred the painter last year, she said she wanted to make some games by herself. At that time, Meng Huo didn't care too much, but he didn't expect He Qian to be very enthusiastic about this matter, running around during the New Year holiday. It succeeded in digging up designers from several well-known game manufacturers.

With the designer, He Qian further asked Meng Huo to not rush to launch a new text adventure game, but to give her the painters in the game department-she can use them well.

Meng Huo was surprised that He Qian’s project required the use of the entire department. He thought it was not a simple game, but he was very busy preparing for the film and animation materials. Seeing this, of course he was willing to do so. Let go.

In fact, he really hopes that the game department can independently develop other games when there is no word adventure game, and don't need to watch Meng Huo everything. Thereby reducing the burden, especially in the case of "Wine of Eternal Life" and "Magician of the Early Century", reducing the effort to develop new games also makes Meng Huo feel relaxed.

And after the annual leave. Meng Huo has been busy with other things. Now that he has time, he wants to see what He Qian is doing. "Although I agree to let her develop a new game." Meng Huo smiled at Shen Jie: "But it's not all games, at least I have to go and see if she won't mess around."

He said that, but Meng Huo believed in any Qian in his heart, and he was actually just curious. Shen Jie heard him finish. I can't help but become interested in the new game He Qian is developing: "Meng Huo will take the initiative to postpone the production of the text adventure game. What game is He Qian doing?"

She thought it would be a good game. It’s not a good game that insists on doing it—but after arriving at the game production department, Shen Jie was a little disappointed.

"Nothing, haven't we started yet..." When He Qian introduced her new employee to Meng Huo, Shen Jie had secretly scanned all the computer screens in the game department. These computer screens were filled with code data and The design drawing, there is no shape, it can be seen that the game has not been officially produced.

And Meng Huo quickly noticed this. When asked about the name of He Qian's new game, she answered simply: "I don't know, we haven't started it yet!"

Meng Huo was taken aback: "Then what are you doing now?"

"Game engine!" He Qian said excitedly: "Although we have not yet started making new games, we already have game ideas. We are going to make a super large, super gorgeous and super fun online game! But before that , We have to build the game engine first."

The so-called game engine, like the engine of a vehicle, is essential to a game. A successful engine can support a variety of operating platforms, including many systems: rendering engine (ie "renderer", including two-dimensional image engine and three-dimensional image engine), physics engine, collision detection system, sound effects, script engine, computer animation, manual Intelligence, network engine, scene management, etc...

It can be said that the game engine is the lifeline of the game, and a successful engine can produce many different games—this is what He Qian is doing.

"Online games...Is the engine of online games so easy to do?" Meng Huo felt a bit of a headache. In fact, he didn’t know much about games, but the game engine knew something. An excellent online game engine took several years to produce too. Normal.

But how could he give He Qian such a long time?

"Teacher, you don't know anymore. The best engine is free." He Qian laughed: "Why would I develop from scratch? Because of the free engine, I have the idea of ​​making games by myself. ."

She introduced to Meng Huo, China’s most outstanding game engine, "Dream 4". This engine is different from the previous engine. It is free—or, the engine dealer gave up the past rental and sky-high buyout methods and chose open and A way of win-win.

It is said to be free, but in fact it is not really free. "Dream 4" has the highest performance among all engines, and its optimization is also done quite well. It not only discloses all current tools and source codes, but also provides a complete ecosystem. Future updates will be free.

It has only one charging method, that is, when someone uses this engine to make a game, realizes commercialization and earns more than 50,000 yuan, they must start to pay 5% of the copyright fee again and again—slowly pay the full copyright fee. clear.

This charging method is very user-friendly. If a game is unsuccessful, there is no need to pay, but if it succeeds, the game maker does not have to pay too much money at once, just pay it slowly.

Of course, the cost of full copyright is much higher than other engines, but the risk is low and the quality is good. He Qian chose this first.

"So..." Meng Huo understood roughly, but was still a little puzzled: "Then, in this case, can't the engine be used directly? Then what are you doing? What do you want the painters to do?"

"We are just making a new engine, but well..." He Qian stretched out her voice mischievously, and then said, "Actually, it is wrong to say that the engine is made, but we are indeed modifying the engine of the'Dream 4'. Not very satisfied..."

She pulled a game designer next to her and introduced it to Meng Huo again. Only then did Meng Huo realize that this game designer was one of the developers of "Dream 4", and that there was another person as well.

There were two original developers of "Dream IV", and He Qian boldly decided to modify the engine. Her dissatisfaction with the original engine was mainly dissatisfaction with the image, and the modification was mainly the image engine.

"Then you want painters to..."

"Yes, I just helped to make this image engine." He Qian nodded: "The engines of'Dream 4'are great, but the image engine is a little different from what I imagined... Maybe you are spoiled by Mr. He Xi, I think We want a better rendering engine."

With this engine alone, it would take her several months to modify, and therefore hoped that Meng Huo would give her these months.

"What about the game?" Meng Huo agreed, but he still didn't know the game information he wanted to know.

"I don't care about the game, I haven't thought about it." He Qian was a little embarrassed: "Although I have a preliminary idea, I want to make an online game, but the specific planning has not yet started. Let's do the engine first. Then we will make the teacher your game. After the engine is available in UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, we can slowly think of new games..."

He Qian already has a direction and knows what kind of engine is needed, but what kind of game it is is not something that can be figured out overnight. She is ready to prepare slowly, but the prerequisite is to get the engine first.

"Online games..." Meng Huo found that He Qian's heart was very big, and he seemed to have the plan to fight for many years.

However, he was also thoughtful. There was an idea before, Meng Huo never thought that it was possible, but now it seems that it is not always true-"Can you explain this engine to me? And its effect Show me..."

He asked He Qian for advice on the ‘Fantasy 4’ engine, and He Qian naturally explained it to him very seriously. Meng Huo was unexpectedly interested and even stayed in the game department for two hours. Two hours later, he has fully understood the effect of this game engine and what kind of game it can be made into.

"This engine is good, you can modify it according to your plan. If you don't have enough money, you can apply to me!" Meng Huo likes the "Dream 4" engine very much, because he found that it can make the top online games of the previous life and can realize it. Many of his thoughts, of course... he is very busy now, and can only temporarily bury his thoughts in his heart. (To be continued)
