i really just want to play games

Chapter 122 It's July Again
"You guys are amazing!" Cheng Yu praised, and then said: "As long as Zange Network is willing to transfer technology to Tengyi, I personally promise to give you a new round of investment, and this amount will definitely satisfy you .”

"Then let's make a deal on this matter first, and then we will look at the specific contract." Chen Tiancai nodded.

Chen Tiancai was educated by his father since he was a child, no matter how nice the words are when businessmen talk about business, as long as they are not written in black and white, it is all nonsense on the scene.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't trust Cheng Yu's words, and he doesn't care how much money Teng Yi can give, but in fact Chen Tiancai is not very interested in Teng Yi's money.

In fact, if Cheng Yu hadn't opened his mouth, Chen Tiancai would have thought about giving Tengyi the world engine, and the purpose was to promote the world engine from Tengyi.

In addition to supporting the domestic game industry, Chen Tiancai is also aiming at overseas markets.

According to the current speed of technology, the current version of the World Engine has some excess performance, not to mention what the fourth-generation World Engine will look like after the sales volume is reached.

To be honest, Chen Tiancai felt that the current development cycle of a 3A level game was too long, it had already reached the point where the market progressed slowly.

A lot of time can indeed produce high-quality games, but many steps in the current game development work are a waste of time, and the world engine can perfectly solve this problem.

In the end, Chen Tiancai's ambition is not only to purify the domestic game market and improve the image of games among the people, but his even bigger ambition is to promote the progress of the entire industry.

Compared to playing games happily, Chen Tiancai thinks that lying on the sofa and pressing the handle is the best form of entertainment.

And it is impossible for him to play games all his life, and he will retire one day.

After chatting with Cheng Yu for a few more words, Chen Tiancai drove directly to the company to see his lovely employees.

It was still a boring day, after all, playing games was just like that, and only people like Chen Tiancai found it particularly interesting.

……

The boring days passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, a month later, it finally came to July.

For more than a month, the development work of "Legend Chang'an" has continued step by step, and the motion capture plot is about to be completed. It can be said that the main plot has entered the final 30.00% finishing work.

However, Feng Bi extracted a lot of interesting things from a large number of documents, so after passing the screening of the trio, a large number of side tasks were determined.

In the earliest days, a game did not have side missions, and even the main storyline was very short. Taking many arcade games as an example, the main storyline was about three hours long.

However, with the development of technology, after the concept of 3A games began to appear in the game, a main line appeared thin.

Moreover, whether it is a linear game or a non-linear game, in order to improve the expressiveness of the picture, many scenes will be produced, and how to use these scenes has become a problem.

Especially for open world games, a large number of scenes represent a large amount of modeling work, and only the main line seems to be a waste of these scenes.

At this time, GTA was born out of nowhere. Chen Tiancai didn't know whether GTA was the first game with side missions, but most people started to understand side missions, most of them were in the GTA series.

As the originator of the development world and the benchmark of the industry, Rockstar has indeed defined open world games, and can be said to be the existence that promotes the advancement of the game industry.

Many of Big Potato’s games have the shadow of GTA, and it can be said that he is the best student of Rock Star.

However, after more than ten years of development, there are also negative teaching materials such as "Just Cause", and the side missions are becoming more and more homogeneous, and even many side missions are just one mission, but they really use the same things to increase the player's playing time.

Therefore, in the era of "The Witcher 3", the side missions became more refined, and Chen Tiancai even felt that the jackass might have invested more in this than the main mission.

If the main line of the game is compared to a person's flesh and blood, then the role of the side missions is a person's spirit, and even all other aspects.

Good side missions can also allow players to appreciate the true charm of the game, expand and enrich the world view of the game, and truly make players fall in love with the world that this game will show.

Therefore, under the auspices of Chen Tiancai, many of Feng Bi's proposals were rejected, and only the most representative and legendary stories were kept.

Moreover, in order to fit the protagonist's social class, Chen Tiancai chose a large number of stories about small people in the prosperous Tang society at that time, and he is still waiting to see the stories of higher classes.

But many of Feng Bi's ideas are also very interesting, so Chen Tiancai also asked him to keep them for the time being, maybe they will be used in the DLC after "Legend Chang'an".

In addition, Chen Tiancai also decided to expand the "Hunting Crisis" project team. He planned to expand the number of people in this project team to about 100 people to prepare for the next online game of Zange Network.

According to Chen Tiancai's vision, the update of "Hunting Crisis" will reach version 4.0, which will take at most two and a half years.Even after the release of 4.0, there will be no more updates, and only the basic server operation will be maintained. When the income cannot be paid in the future, "Hunting Crisis" will be removed from the shelves.

In fact, according to the data of the employees, the "Hunting Crisis" project can be conservatively run for about five years, but the profit in the later period is not as much as that in the early period, which can only be regarded as tasteless.

Online games naturally have their vitality, and it is normal to stop the service after a certain period of time, such as "World of Warcraft" can only be regarded as a special case.

Reluctantly operating an old online game, in Chen Tiancai's view, will only reduce the enthusiasm of the employees, and even make the employees no longer innovative, and even think that it is good to just mess around like this.

So Chen Tiancai decided to do it himself, only let "Hunting Crisis" exist for a certain period of time, and don't let it become an online game like a foot wrap.

However, although the new online game is tentatively designated as a design type, the core task of Zange Network is still "Legend Chang'an", so Chen Tiancai can't concentrate on thinking about the new game, and can only wait until "Legend Chang'an" is officially released next year. think.

One month seems very long, but it also passed quickly. Apart from dealing with these matters, Chen Tiancai was discussing the authorization of the world engine with Cheng Yu.

This is not a simple question, like investment, it is almost enough, and naturally many aspects are involved.

Currently, the news from Cheng Yu is that Teng Yi wants to directly buy out the right to use the world engine with ten small goals, including the right to improve the world engine himself.

Naturally, Chen Tiancai couldn't agree. It doesn't matter if you have more money or less money. The current cash flow of Zange Network is still very healthy. If he didn't set up a laboratory for Guan Yu, he would give more bonuses to the employees.
