Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 1164 "Rogue"

Chapter 1164: The Rogue》

 After the Olympic Games, the prestige of Youxing Electronic Entertainment reached an unprecedented level.

 There have been quite good gains in many fields.

Now Youxing Electronic Entertainment is involved in movies, TV series, animations, and game peripheral toys, and these things can also make more money.

Although Youxing Electronic Entertainment has never expressed it to outsiders, many people have regarded Youxing Electronic Entertainment as a comprehensive entertainment and cultural enterprise.

And the most important thing is that this company has almost no negative reviews, which is very unique among all companies.

ˆAccording to questionnaires from some professional organizations, Youxing Electronic Entertainment is also the company that many related practitioners most yearn for. Unfortunately, it is now difficult to easily enter this company. At least you need some real materials.

 Among them, the one who considers himself the luckiest is probably the producer who developed Infinite World.

Since coming to Youxing Electronic Entertainment, he has directly obtained the internal engine development kit provided by Youxing Electronic Entertainment, which is not at the same level as the publicly commercialized Unreal Engine system.

Originally, Infinite World had many large and small loopholes, which he had not anticipated when he proposed the game settings.

In the past, he has made some simple games, usually with single functions. After making them, he also received a lot of praise from his classmates.

This may also give him the illusion that game development is very simple, and as long as he works hard, he will definitely get a good result.

 But when the scale of the game increased exponentially, he finally realized that the game was really not that easy to develop.

 This is not just about adding more people.

 The larger the game, the more complex the problems it faces.

When he actually started making infinite world games, he felt that Cyberpunk 2077 by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment was a monster.

 No wonder he saw many old game practitioners in game development forums saying that the release of Cyberpunk 2077 made them despair.

This despair does not come from the size of the game.

  Simply stacking data can make the game reach the level of Cyberpunk 2077.

 But the thickness cannot be measured simply by stacking volume.

Let’s not talk about how those complex systems can be so perfectly integrated. Just talking about the infinitely close to real line volume collision in the Cyberpunk 2077 system is enough to make game developers scratch their heads for a long time.

 There are some small gameplay mechanics in Cyberpunk 2077.

These mechanisms are usually subtle, and ordinary players may not notice these details. Sometimes, because they are too similar to reality, players will have the illusion that this is what it should be.

For example, this real line volume collision shows the interactive reaction of a wire in the game scene.

 The character can hold this wire and move around in the environment.

 Many times this very thin wire will be too small in the game, causing the model to go through the mold.

Wanting to avoid mold wear requires very complex program calculations. Although it is not impossible to do it, it will be amazing when it is actually done.

The producers of Infinite World found this kit in the internal engine development system. It is the experience accumulated during the development of Cyberpunk, so that later generations can directly use it.

 If this thing is put outside, it will definitely become something that many game companies will rush to imitate.

However, inside Youxing Electronic Entertainment, it is just a technical tool that is used.

There are many more things like this in this internal engine development system, which is like a treasure trove.

 And it seems to be inexhaustible.

 He now gradually understands why Youxing Electronic Entertainment has become the best gaming company in many people's minds.

 Why are there so many people eager to join this company?

 First of all, needless to say about the benefits, there are weekend breaks and various bonus incentives, and the work pressure is much less than other companies.

 The reason why most games are developed very quickly is not only because they have a clear direction, but also because they have enough freedom to allow every developer to think freely and come up with ideas to implement.

Now he has been at Youxing Electronic Entertainment for more than half a year, and he has gained much more than he did in the previous few years with Mickford.

These gains are the most precious wealth, far more valuable than the salary and money received.

Now if he is asked to develop another game similar to Infinite World, he will be confident that he can complete the game development task in the same time.

It seems that the game development cycle given by Mickford is not so scary anymore. It seems that it can be completed with a little effort.

 Obviously he is now in a state of absolute confidence.

 “Hi, good morning.”

The producer of Infinite World came to work in the morning, and the surrounding Youxing Electronic Entertainment employees greeted him enthusiastically, and he responded enthusiastically one by one.

 Another thing that makes him feel very comfortable here is that the atmosphere among employees is also very harmonious, and there is not so much messy office competition.

Competition is of course inevitable, and different game development departments are also striving to develop better games, but this is a healthy competition, which is very different from the vicious office political competition environment of other companies.

“Hey, how is the development of your infinite world going? I heard that you seem to have gained a lot recently.”

 A person suddenly came over and asked curiously.

The producer of Infinite World smiled: "I have indeed made a lot of gains recently. I have prepared an initial game trial DEMO. Do you want to give it a try?"

The man was a little happy after hearing this, then he looked at his watch, then nodded and said, "Well, there are still eight hours left before my mission is completed. It doesn't matter if you take two hours to play games. Let's go. You go over there and play with your infinite world.”

Infinite World has been criticized by many people before, and he came to Youxing Electronic Entertainment with the expectation that he would be looked down upon.

  But what he didn’t expect was that these people were very interested in the game Infinite World.

 Normally, they would get together with themselves to study the development of the infinite world. Occasionally, they would also give themselves suggestions and share the development experience of their respective departments to make his infinite world development more efficient.

  It can be said that a large part of the achievements of Infinite World come from the efforts of many employees of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

“Speaking of which, why are you so interested in my game? My game should be boring, and it shouldn’t be difficult for you to make a similar game.”

"Huh? Is it not difficult to make a game like yours? Then you are really belittling yourself. Just take your technical design of this infinite world as a separate example. This is a pretty good idea. To a great extent It solves the problem that the size of the game cannot be 100% guaranteed.”

"Of course there are still some imperfections in this mechanism, but this is not a big problem and can be solved. The key is that you are the one who proposed this idea. As the initiator of the idea, you are worthy of our respect, even if this The game may look bad now, but we all believe the future is good."

 Respect individual creativity and will not easily deprive others of their creativity.

　　The producer of Infinite World was a little touched and moved in his heart.

"Come on, this is a two-hour DEMO that our team has developed. However, in fact, this DEMO test has also entered the advanced stage. You can load the things in this test version into the game body at any time. You should not encounter anything. It’s a vicious BUG.”

 “Oh, let me try.”

This person eagerly picked up the controller and began to control the character in the trial DEMO.

 Characters in the game can enter various different worlds to adventure through portals.

 Previously, every randomly generated world in the infinite world was too weird, and the biological system was also very messy, with no sense of beauty at all.

 It is for this reason that many players feel cheated while playing.

 Because the world content at Mickford’s Infinite World game conference was very rich and beautiful.

 After the investigation, they determined that Mickford's original press conference was suspected of fraud.

 The world of Infinite World is indeed randomly generated.

 But the world in the press conference has been artificially adjusted to make the world not look so bad.

If it were not an adjusted random world, it would be difficult to unify the style.

However, this problem is no longer a problem now.

The Unreal Engine system within Youxing Electronic Entertainment has a more advanced AI computing mechanism, which can assist randomly generated planets to create a game scene that looks more in line with the aesthetics of normal people.

It’s just that this will have higher requirements on the player’s game environment configuration.

But there is no solution. You can directly allow these players to load the AI ​​world that other players have built into their own computers and game consoles, and then take risks in this world that already meets the aesthetics. This can save most players from having to It's going to be a bad world to play in.

And as the number of players increases and more and more randomly generated worlds are created, there will be more and more worlds that meet the aesthetics of normal people.

“The world looks much better now. I would say that our AI computing unit is very effective.”

This person was talking proudly while playing.

His job is actually to be responsible for the AI ​​computing part of Unreal Engine. He is responsible for optimization. He was originally a student in the Benedi AI Laboratory. After graduation, he joined Youxing Electronic Entertainment directly and became a full-time AI computing designer. , if such talents are put outside, they will be snapped up by many companies.

 But he has no interest in this, because those companies do not have cutting-edge things like Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, nor do they have so many unreleased and fun games.

“By the way, have you ever gone to the next door department and tried the game Rogue 5? That game is also great, let me tell you.”

Rogue V?

 He is quite familiar with this.

 This is also one of the golden signatures of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

 This game series has dominated the charts for a long time.

 Especially popular in the United States.

Even some time later, some people were still talking about why the Japanese could develop a game of this style.

 But they Americans can't.

 This is unspeakable.

  Youxing Electronic Entertainment also spends a lot of energy to produce a game like Rogue 5, and the money invested will not be much less than Cyberpunk 2077.

 Other companies are definitely incomparable.

There are very few companies in the United States that can invest huge sums of money in game development.

There is only one company that has the same development technology capabilities as Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and that is Brown Entertainment.

It’s just that Brown Entertainment is not interested in this type of open world game. Huck Brown is obsessed with first-person fast-paced shooting games, wants to catch up with the footsteps of Titanfall and Counter-Strike, and focuses on developing online role-playing online games.

This kind of plot-based open world stand-alone game is not his cup of tea.

“Rogue V? Is the game ready for release?” asked the producer of Infinite World.

"Not yet. I heard that it will take more than half a year. I heard that it is the game release plan of the headquarters. The game itself is almost done. Now we can try to play it internally in advance. This is our benefit. Don’t you want to try it?”

  Playing the company's unreleased games in advance is also one of the benefits of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, and it may be more desirable than giving these developers a holiday.

 “Really, then I must go and have a look.”

The producer of Infinite World is himself a loyal fan of developing world games.

 Otherwise he wouldn’t be able to conceive of a truly infinite open world game through his imagination.

Without love, just coming up with an idea would not have allowed him to persist in developing this game until now.

While this man was talking, the producers of Infinite World were already a little absent-minded. Some of the game questions asked by colleagues who played the demo were not very attentive to his answers.

 After playing for more than an hour, this colleague put down the controller with some unfinished content. It was time for him to go to work, and then he looked at the producer of Infinite World.

"This game has been completed quite well. I think you can tell your boss about your current development status. I think he will be very happy. Then you can choose a good day to update these new features to In terms of gameplay, believe me, those players will definitely be surprised to see a new look of the infinite world."

 Is this really the case?

 The producers of Infinite World themselves actually have little confidence.

 The reason why he wants to insist on developing Infinite World is mainly because this game is all his efforts, just like a child who has worked hard to cultivate and never wants to sink completely.

There were many times when he regretted why he didn’t insist on continuing to develop the game instead of forcing it to be released.

Had he insisted on continuing development, the game would not have received so much notoriety when it came out.

Now that this terrible game suddenly said it was going to be revived, he himself didn't believe it.

 “I’m going to talk to the boss, but before that, I want to go see Rogue 5 first”

Obviously, his identity as a player has **** his identity as a game developer at this moment. He just wants to play the latest internal version of Rogue 5 and see what unexpected new breakthroughs this new top open world game has.
