My game, you have no right to award

Chapter 81 Engine Expert (Subscribe)

It’s not about which platform is better, it’s just that Zhou Kuang simply feels that the hardware conditions on the PC are much better than those on mobile phones.

Therefore, while both pursue perfection, the technical limit of mobile phones is far lower than that of computers.

However, we cannot be too harsh on these people, after all, they are all just trying to make a living.

Previously, few companies in China were willing to make stand-alone games, let alone invest large sums of money in them.

Zhou Kuang hopes that "Youming Shanhai" can be the first game to break this prejudice.

Niu Tieming has been in high spirits recently. He is in high spirits and has a smile on his face wherever he goes.

Antarctic Group is very satisfied with his timely decision to invest in Megvii Games and obtain the mobile game adaptation and operation rights of the phenomenal independent game "Vampire Survivor".

Although the headquarters has not yet reached a conclusion on the more important project "Netherworld Mountains and Seas", its attitude towards this investment is only temporarily less resistant.

But for Niu Tieming this is a great victory!

As long as the Antarctic Group does not put pressure on him and allows him to act freely, there are so many things he can do.

Today, Niu Tieming found the expert in Antarctic Interactive Entertainment who is responsible for the Unreal Engine.

A man wearing square-framed glasses and a red and black plaid shirt was standing outside Niu Tieming's office door. He looked at the watch on his left wrist from time to time, and his expression did not change.

Although this person looks inconspicuous, he is actually one of the creators of Unreal Engine and is responsible for the underlying design of the engine.

After Antarctic Group acquired the parent company of Unreal Engine, he joined Antarctic Interactive Entertainment. As a senior engine expert within the company, he specialized in solving technical problems for various production teams under the group that used Unreal Engine.

As a senior technician who designed the engine, he is familiar with any technical difficulties caused by the Unreal Engine. If even he can't solve the problem, then probably no one can.

Niu Tieming opened the door, and when he saw him, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, his forehead relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, I've been waiting for a long time. Please come in."

As he said this, he made way for the door.

Xu Yanjie didn't hesitate and nodded and walked in.

Niu Tieming walked into the office behind him.

After closing the door, Niu Tieming walked around to his desk, gestured for Xu Yanjie to sit down, and sat opposite him.

He leaned forward slightly, a smile plastered on his face, and spoke first, "Mr. Xu, I asked you to come here today because there's a job that requires your personal attention."

"Have you heard of the project 'Netherworld Mountains and Seas'?"

When Xu Yanjie heard the name, a strange look appeared in his eyes, and then he nodded.

He pushed his glasses up his nose and responded calmly.

"Boss Niu, I've heard a little bit about it."

"I've seen their actual machine demonstrations online."

Niu Tieming breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then couldn't wait to ask, "Engineer Xu, in your opinion, from a technical perspective, what is the level of the actual machine demonstration of this project?"

Niu Tieming had indeed asked other people before, but he had never discussed the matter of "Netherworld Mountains and Seas" with Xu Yanjie.

Xu Yanjie pondered for a moment, then answered after careful consideration. "Judging from the gameplay trailer alone, they have a pretty good understanding of Unreal Engine, and have achieved at least above-average visual performance." "The lighting and shadow effects and scene construction also show that they've put a lot of effort into it."

"But..." Xu Yanjie changed the subject, "A lot of details are not done well. It's obvious that they don't have much experience in optimizing complex scenes and scene transitions."

“So there is still a lot of room for improvement.”

Hearing Xu Yanjie say this, Niu Tieming nodded continuously.

He was not afraid that there would be any problems with the project "Youming Shanhai". After all, it was only the first 3A-level stand-alone game produced by Megshi Games. It would be strange if there were really no problems at all.

As long as these issues can be fixed during production rather than left until launch, they won't be a problem.

This was the main reason why he called Xu Yanjie today.

Zhou Kuang had previously mentioned to him that he wanted some guidance from Unreal Engine technicians, and he also had this intention.

"Mr. Xu, you have a really sharp eye. I admire you!"

Niu Tieming first complimented him, then continued.

"That's why I asked you to come. The project 'Netherworld Mountains and Seas' is of great significance and is also very difficult."

"I hope you can help the production team of Netherworld Mountains and Seas solve these technical difficulties and improve their technical level."

"If you can improve these shortcomings in these projects to the level you approve of, then I have nothing to worry about."

Niu Tieming stared at Xu Yanjie with fiery eyes, hoping that he would agree immediately.

Xu Yanjie coughed lightly, pushed his glasses, and did not agree immediately.

"Mr. Niu, solving the problems you mentioned won't be accomplished overnight. If it were our own team at Antarctic Interactive Entertainment, I would definitely have confidence."

"But the company behind this Netherworld Mountain and Sea, I'm afraid..."

He didn't say everything, but it seemed like he said everything.

Xu Yanjie actually felt that the ability of their technical staff was too low. If he taught them one by one himself, how long would it take?
Niu Tieming pondered for a moment, then looked up at Xu Yanjie and said, "Engineer Xu, I understand this task is very difficult, but I believe in your ability even more."

"And I'm not sending you alone."

"You take the lead in forming a technical team and transfer all the personnel here first. Feel free to tell me if anything is needed."

Hearing the other party's sincere words and a hint of determination in his tone, it was obvious that he had made the final decision.

Xu Yanjie sighed slightly in his heart. If possible, he really didn't want to do such a hard job!
Although there are definitely people who like to teach others and never get tired of teaching others how to correct their problems.

But at least for Xu Yanjie, he would rather design the engine by himself than teach others to solve technical problems.

He used to think it was okay, but ever since his daily work became like this, he has been exhausted.

Xu Yanjie nodded slowly and said.

"Mr. Niu, I'll compile a list of the people I need and then visit the other party's company first."

"Okay, then it's settled!"

Niu Tieming was overjoyed. With Xu Yanjie as the mainstay, he felt that the technical aspects of this project would definitely be stable!
A smile broke out on his face, and he stood up and shook hands with Xu Yanjie.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Xu!"
