Chapter 18 Origin Engine
The domestic stand-alone market in the early years was indeed prosperous, but at that time copyright awareness was not strong, and countless stand-alone manufacturers and studios were violated by piracy, closed down, and transformed.

Later, copyrights began to be seized in China, and piracy was basically gone, but it gave birth to a group of sentimental parties, selling the IP of old stand-alone machines, consuming the good memories and feelings in the hearts of players. The game garbage is not fun, but the manufacturer blamed the players for being too demanding and killed the game. They opened their mouths to make a 3A masterpiece, and the investment was huge, but the finished product was scum.

At this time, Chuhe said that the company was going to set up a new project to make multiplayer stand-alone, and the two of them were really not optimistic about it.

"I can understand your thoughts. One just bought a house in Jinling, and the other just got married. Compared with the instability of new projects, the page game department is indeed more stable, but let's continue to work hard to enrich ourselves. They are both number one. The first batch of employees who have entered the company, I also hope that you will have the ability to be the person in charge of the department." Chuhe nodded and said with a smile.

At the beginning of the establishment of the project, Chuhe also saw the efforts of the two of them. It would be too false to say how deep the relationship is, but it is impossible to say that there is no relationship at all.

And for their choices, Chuhe himself can understand, isn't that what he used to be?
Of course, more importantly, whether it is the web game department or the new project department, don't they all work for themselves?
"Mr. Chu, someone said that he made an appointment with you." At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and with Chuhe's consent, the door was pushed open, and Lin Xiaoxue said to Chuhe.

I made an appointment, what's the situation.

Chuhe was a little dazed, but before Chuhe could ask, Lin Xiaoxue's words made his heart skip a beat.

"He said that you, Mr. Chu, wanted to buy their team and came to Jinling specifically to discuss specific matters with you." Lin Xiaoxue continued.

Acquire the team! ?
Chuhe was taken aback for a moment, and then thought of a cheating system, a reward that hadn't been cashed in a month.

"I see, let them go to the meeting room first, and I will go right away." Chuhe nodded, pretending to remember, and said to Lin Xiaoxue.

"Okay, you go back to work first. I will be in the work group and tell you about the new project." Chuhe said to the five people in Xuchang, then stood up and walked towards the conference room.

Walking into the office, a bald young Caucasian man stood up with a smile on his face. To Chuhe's surprise, the other party spoke fluent Chinese: "Chu, do you remember me? I'm Pig, last time your I accepted the proposal. You said that a good engine needs enough capital investment. I admit that I really can't find anyone who can take it. It's yours for a dollar, but I must hire my team. We have to personally Get the engine done, that's what you promised."

After seeing Chuhe, the bald white young man stood up happily and hugged Chuhe, making Chuhe look confused.

Well, I haven't seen such an initiative to deliver good things to your door.

It seems that it is indeed a task reward sent by the system, the transfer price is one dollar, plus the other party has a team of three people in total, and they are all big names from a technical point of view.

After the legal department checked that there was no problem with the contract, Chuhe signed his name decisively, and successfully obtained the engine named 'Origin', as well as three employees with strong capabilities.

"Okay, can you show me your engine next?" Chuhe asked Pig curiously.

What I choose for my next project depends on how well the engine works. If it’s just so-so, it’s better to use the open Unreal Engine, or U3D, which is more familiar to domestic game developers.

"Of course, our team originally planned to develop a game by ourselves. We knew that developing a game would cost money, but we didn't expect it to cost so much money. Our ambition is too big. Maybe we should start with a small independent game. Development, instead of taking such a big step directly, we were a team of 7 people at the beginning, including art and planning, but now there are only 3 including me.” Pigg turned on the computer he carried with him, and looked at Chuhe complained.

"Okay, okay, trust me, joining Tianhe Network is the luckiest and wisest choice for you." Chuhe looked at Pig who turned on the chatterbox mode a little speechlessly.

Accompanied by Pig's display, Chuhe's eyes showed surprise, but then he frowned again.

A game engine that is already a finished product, and a series of functions such as physics, AI, rendering, special effects, etc. have been perfected.

And although there are not many DEMO demonstrations in just 3 minutes, its features have been demonstrated.

As for the rendering of texture technology, it is a place that lags behind. Simply put, if we do not continue to develop and optimize, the graphics of games developed using the current engine will be lower than those of mainstream products on the market.

However, on the notebook computer with general configuration of the opponent, the frame rate of 60FPS can be maintained in the demonstration, which is not bad.

The same is not without advantages. In the demo display, Chuhe saw the characteristics of the opponent's engine, that is, it already has a relatively complete system of destructible objects.

The ground, stones, trees, and houses can all be destroyed. If you continue to optimize and improve, the effect displayed in the game will definitely be very shocking.

Think about it. After a house explodes, the steel bars of the building will remain standing. When a plank or a stone is only injured at the corner, the whole will not be shattered.

Even the branches of trees, which you can chop off individually.

But this involves another problem, that is, if the picture is not realistic enough, the shocking side of the destructible characteristics cannot be fully expressed.

In addition to the destructible feature, the demo demo also showed something that Chuhe was very interested in, that is, the items on the map were randomly generated.

The two displays were on the same map model, but Chuhe found that the stones and trees that appeared on the map for the first time turned into a small pond and a bush when they appeared for the second time.

"Are the items on the map randomly generated?" Chu He asked with interest.

"Yes, this is a semi-finished product we made before, a very simple random generation algorithm." Pigg nodded.

"Take your team and start working as soon as possible. I will prepare the apartment for you; for the new project, I think I have already decided what to do." Chu He looked excitedly at Pig's computer. Said the demo that started showing again.

As for his first serious game in the world, Chuhe already has an idea.

　I saw a couple on the bus. They were young, probably high school students. After they got off the stop, I took out my mobile phone and looked at myself. I have changed from a single dog to an old single dog!
