Game production, I entered the Star Iron shooting CG

If you want to make an online game that requires daily activity, you don't sell point cards or implement buyouts. Instead, you promote free play, so that every player can experience all the game content without spending a penny.

More importantly, Mihoyo guarantees that it will not launch paid items that affect the balance of the game.

So what is the attraction of this game that makes players spend money?

Isn't this really just doing charity work?

Wouldn't this mean huge loss?

But Wu Zhiqun was just saying these words. In his heart, he didn't think that anyone who could make such a high-quality game would be a fool.

On the contrary, Wu Zhiqun now truly regards Mihoyo as a competitor and is ready to take real action.

Let me show you what a real business war is like!

The general public imagines business wars as follows: hacker bosses join forces to steal control of the network and browse the other company's secrets at will.

The real business war: 500 yuan was used to bribe the cleaning lady to unplug the network cable every 2 hours, leaving the network engineer helpless.

However, Wu Zhiqun has already passed the low-level stages of pulling out network cables and stealing official seals.

What he really wants now is Mihoyo's game production engine!

Wu Zhiqun has been working in the gaming industry for many years. Although he has never produced a game himself, he still knows a lot about games.

Just wandering around the workstations at Penguin Games, you can learn a lot from what you see and hear.

This knowledge and experience told him that it is difficult to achieve both quality and speed in game production.

With good quality and fast speed, you won’t have to take all the good things for yourself.

And since Mihoyo’s Starry Sky Railway is built well and quickly, there are only two possibilities.

One is that Mihoyo is just bragging and creating hype, and such a high-quality game has actually been in the works for a very long time, but the possibility of this is very small.

As the background investigation of Mihoyo became clearer and clearer, Wu Zhiqun could be sure that it took less than two months from the initiation of the project to the internal testing of Xingtie.

The other possibility sounds a bit outrageous, even ridiculous.

That is, Mi Huyou and his makeshift team possessed technology that was far ahead of their time.

However, thinking of the two LOGOs at the beginning of Xingtie, plus the complaints from the technical department just now, Wu Zhiqun felt more and more that the second situation might be true.

The icons that can be placed behind the company logo are usually game engine icons.

However, Wu Zhiqun had never seen the Mihoyo engine icon before.

A Q version of a little man... Which company customized this engine for Mihoyo?

Game engine.

Anyone who has played games for a long time should have heard of this thing more or less. Even if you haven't heard of it, you will have seen it unconsciously.

When you start the game, there are icons like a U inside a circle, a frost palm, a few geometric shapes plus unity, etc.

This is the engine used to make the game.

There are commercial engines that can be used with a license, and there are custom engines that are designed specifically for a game and are not licensed to others.

So what is a game engine?

It is like a framework that sets the specifications of the game, leaves an interface for easy modification, and then creates the game content within this framework, making everything traceable.

To put it simply, it is a tool that can simplify the game production process.

Although the word "engine" seems important, games can still be made without a game engine, but it will be much more troublesome.

For example, the role of an engine in game production is equivalent to that of Windows/Windows operating system in computers.

If you still find it difficult to understand, then try win+r and run CMD. The black and white box that operates the computer through code commands is the way people used computers when there was no Windows system. It is very troublesome.

The game engine can set a framework for the game, and then after developing the early functions, the producer can devote his energy to filling the framework with content elements, building scenes, creating animations, creating logic scripts, etc.

It simplifies and visualizes the game production process, and can help developers complete a lot of work easily.

As the current top domestic gaming company, Penguin certainly has its own game engine.

However, their game engine is still in a very primitive stage.

Not to mention the intuitive visual operation.

Even object parameters require code to modify.

Almost all parameters are displayed in the form of codes, which has a primitive beauty.

If you still can't crack the game encryption, you have to consider whether you can get the Mihoyo game engine...

Wu Zhiqun thought for a long time, and finally took out his mobile phone and sent a message to a number.

Take a day off to organize the outline

Hey, guys, the fan was really annoying at work today. There was a power outage in the company and the project files had to be rolled back for 20 minutes. I was so exhausted.

God knows how annoying it is to have to redo what you just did for this reason.

Please take a leave and sort out the outline.

Because I found that the real-world plot is more popular with Daniel Wu and others, so the subsequent plot needs to be readjusted.

I will also try my best to make the plot in the game interesting.

Let me sort out the outline...

Purple Sweet Potato Pudding

Chapter 90: Outside the game, the navy finally found the black spot!

In the next few days, the live broadcast of the internal test of Star Dome Railway continued to attract the attention of players.

Ever since a host got a recipe for making an antiparticle grenade from a black market merchant at the Black Tower Space Station, there have been hosts coming up with some eye-opening and exciting things every day.

For example, use the towing train tactic to gather the monsters in the containment chamber together, then use the group control of March 7, and then use the hand-rolled grenades to take them away in a wave, and quickly collect the materials dropped by the monsters.

However, since the production of antiparticle grenades consumes a lot of materials, if the overall profit is calculated, the player may even lose a little.

But players still enjoy it because they gain something more worthwhile: happiness.

These few days are also the most peaceful days in the comment section of Starry Sky Railway. Those who are qualified for the internal test share the new and interesting Easter eggs they found in the game, and those who are not qualified for the internal test urge Mihoyo to launch the public test as soon as possible.

The atmosphere is very harmonious.

After all, the navy hired by Penguin was defeated at the beginning, and the remaining few small black fans could only make very limited voices in front of a group of players who love the game.

The perspective comes to the navy leader Lu Ziye.

Since there is really nothing to criticize about the quality of the game, they are constantly looking for valid criticisms.

Unfortunately, his foothold was always unstable and he was unable to achieve anything.

Seeing that this order was very difficult, and many people in the water army group had already been attracted by the game Star Iron, the water army leader Lu Ziye also thought about giving up, but the money given by Penguin was too much.

Moreover, Penguin suddenly stepped up its efforts a few days ago and said something like "If you don't do this order, we won't cooperate with you in the future."

After all, penguins are important customers and we cannot afford to offend them.

I have no choice but to bite the bullet.

Lu Ziye grabbed the keyboard and prepared to mobilize the Internet trolls.

It was the first time he found typing so difficult.

After thinking for a long time, I finally decided to just show the news from Penguin to the group members.

Lu Ziye took a screenshot of the chat history with Penguin, blurred the sender's information and sent it to the group to prevent any traitor in the group from spreading the news.

"I won't say more, let's just talk about Black Star Dome Railway. The sponsor of this order is very generous. If you want to take it, please send me a private message. I will create a group and we can discuss tactics and find a suitable black spot."

After Lu Ziye sent the message, he @ed all the members.

Soon, the internet trolls in the group saw the message.

"Ah? Black Star Iron, group owner, last time I went to Black Star Iron, my main account was reported, and 10 out of 9 comments couldn't be posted. It's already useless."

"We have no place to stand on our side, and we are being beaten by others. It's so frustrating!"

"The main reason is that the opponent's fighting power is also very strong. I can't find my way around after being scolded by him... Group leader, this order is really hard to accept."

"..."

For someone who is good at being a troll, his hand speed must be very fast. In just a short while, Lu Ziye's message was pushed out of sight, and not many people saw the chat history on Penguin.

Lu Ziye saw that there was no other way and could only mute the entire group.

Then I sent out the Penguin message again separately.

Now, everyone in the group finally saw the chat record.

Although the message was blurred, the old people in the group all knew that the sender was Penguin. After carefully reading the reward above, everyone was very tempted.

If you complete this order, it will at least equal the previous five orders. Moreover, if your account is blocked by the broken website, there will be additional compensation from Penguin.

With this condition, everyone in the water army group finally reluctantly agreed to continue attacking Xingtie.

And those young people who were fans of Xingtie also agreed with the mentality that it would be a bastard not to make money if you have the chance.

There's no way, it's about making money, no need to be shy.

At worst, I can recharge some money into Mihoyo after the StarTie public beta, and consider it as atonement.

Balance work and life.

Mihoyo, I earn money from penguins to support you!

Soon, with the help of Penguin's soft and hard tactics, the special attack against Mihoyo Star Iron - Kuroko's team was pulled together.

The quality of the game is basically impeccable, so we can only look at some factors outside the game.

In a sense, this can also be called: looking for the power to deny the world from outside the world!

Finally, in the last two days of the internal test, the navy brainstormed, constantly found new ways, and found a point that could be attacked!

That is, Mihoyo promised at the beginning that this would be a dual-end game that can be interconnected between PC and mobile phones, but this test server was only tested on PC.

As for the mobile phone side, it seems to have been deliberately ignored.

After carefully reading the relevant information.

Yes, these days, mindless slander against Xingtie no longer works, and even the navy has begun to learn the art of war.

They found that the technology of intercommunication between mobile phones and PCs in the gaming field had no precedent in the world. If Mihoyo wanted to fulfill their promise, they had to complete this research and development process from scratch.

When Lu Ziye saw someone raise this point in the group, his eyes lit up.

However, he still cautiously asked the penguin for their opinion.

"Is the dual-end interconnection of the Star Dome Railway easy to build? Can we do something about it?"

After receiving the information from the water army, the person in charge of the public relations department immediately consulted the professional and technical personnel on the Penguin side.

The technicians responded: "It's very difficult, almost impossible, and if you have the technology, why would you make games? You could make a living from the licensing fees just by publishing the technology."

At this time, Wu Zhiqun happened to be supervising the battle on site in the technical department!

He happened to see this news and felt a little relieved.

Yes! Mihoyo initially promoted it as a mobile game, and it was also a two-terminal interoperable game. Now it’s available on PC, but what about the mobile version?

Let’s not talk about whether Mihoyo can solve the technical barriers of two-way communication.

Just talking about a game of the quality of StarTrail, can a mobile phone run it? What kind of mobile phone configuration can run it?

You have to know that the configurations of mobile phones are uneven nowadays. If you want to adapt and attract the player base, you must ensure that the game can run on low-configuration mobile phones.

This is too troublesome. There are so many mobile phone models and the differences between operating systems are different from those on PC. Adaptation and optimization on mobile phones will be a long and difficult task that will take time.

You can't ask players to change their phones just because of your game, right?

Moreover, if the quality of the game graphics is reduced too much due to adaptation issues, players will naturally not be able to accept it!

These days, Wu Zhiqun has been moving between the technical department and the planning department, acting as the company's mainstay!

However, after working overtime for several days and wasting so much time, they still couldn't crack even a game package. The employees were all sighing, and Wu Zhiqun was also frowning when he saw this.

There is some news from the navy today, which is good news that has been long awaited.
