Reboot the age of gaming

Chapter 163 Historical Materials
Light Wing Entertainment.

Yu Kangyu was very unhappy.

"I asked you before, do you need to transfer Zhong Ming to other projects, keep the bonus, and appease you with a promotion, but you said no, it's all right now, who is responsible for the loss of such an outstanding talent?!"

Director Bai bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, it's my responsibility. However, Zhong Ming didn't tell anyone that he was participating in the virtual idol competition, including Director Xie, who didn't know about it, and after winning the No. Immediately leaving the founding studio, in my opinion, he had planned for a long time, and he did not leave because of what happened to "Learning the Sea Without Limits."

"And as far as I know, several companies such as Xinghua Interactive Entertainment and Korner Entertainment also offered an olive branch to Zhong Ming, but Zhong Ming didn't accept it. They didn't even sell the copyright of the character Chanel, which shows that he is not available for use. The target of being bought by interests."

Yu Kangyu was silent for a moment, and he also knew that Director Bai was right.

"That's also a brain drain..."

Yu Kangyu was very annoyed, because Brilliant Wing Interactive Entertainment was very short of virtual idols, especially such top design talents!
A virtual idol is not just a virtual singer, she has many other uses.

For example, developing games in the image of virtual idols, holding concerts, advertising endorsements, and so on.

Especially in the development of games, the combination of some hot story IPs and virtual idols can often create good sparks.This principle is the same as Zhong Ming liked to use fresh meat in many streaming movies and TV series in his previous life, just for that face and that group of fans.

And Light Wing Interactive Entertainment has always been weak in the field of virtual idols. Yu Kangyu has replaced many people in charge for this, but none of the people in charge can produce a popular virtual idol!

But the matter has come to this point, and Yu Kangyu has nothing to do.

Regardless of whether Zhong Ming made up his mind to start his own business, or suffered uncomfortable treatment at Brilliance Interactive Entertainment, in the final analysis, there must be something wrong with Bright Wing Interactive Entertainment.But it was impossible for Yu Kangyu to keep an eye on every link from the recruitment to the project. Sometimes his subordinates were not doing well, and he, the president, had no choice but to lose his temper.

"He set up a studio, what is he going to do? A virtual idol?" Yu Kangyu calmed down and asked.

Director Bai replied: "No, according to him, he wants to develop an independent game by himself."

"Indie games? It's true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers." Yu Kangyu was very surprised, "Okay, I get it."

Director Bai said again: "Mr. Yu, I actually came today to report to you about the data problems of the new version of "Xue Hai Wu Ya."

"Oh. Go ahead."

Director Bai sent the electronic version of the relevant data directly to Yu Kangyu with a bracelet: "After the new version is launched, the sponsors who cooperate with us are quite satisfied with the changes, especially the part of cooperating with resurrection questions. However, the popularity is not obvious for the time being. The hot search of the new version of Million Daza Coin also bought it, but the response was mediocre. However, considering that we mainly rely on sponsors for profit, the impact is not significant at present, and we can continue to promote it.”

"I bought the hot search and the response was mediocre..."

Yu Kangyu frowned slightly, smelling something bad from this incident.

In the past, when Zhong Ming pushed the million-dollar coins forum, being on the hot search meant forming a topic effect, and the change in popularity could be clearly seen from the number of respondents the next day.But now that I bought Hot Search, the response was mediocre. Is it because... the popularity is gradually fading?The players are not interested anymore?
"Keep pushing." Yu Kangyu said.

……

Under Zhong Ming's Weibo, many people left messages.

Some people are looking forward to Zhong Ming's upcoming independent game.

Some people advised Zhong Ming not to risk his life. Independent games are too risky. Don't think about eating a fat man with one bite. The road has to be taken step by step.

Others expressed disbelief, thinking that Zhong Ming's path was going astray, and it would be better to continue developing virtual idols than anything else.

In short, most fans are expressing concern.

in the studio.

Zhou Sen has set up the intranet, and now he can upload modifications, update documents and resources to the intranet. There is also a simple open source testing platform to record bugs in the game.

On Jiang Wanna's side, a simple prototype of the studio logo was produced. The theme pattern is a burning flame, but it is not a specific image, but composed of more abstract lines, half golden, half red, next to the logo pattern. The five artistic characters of "Shimmer Studio".

Zhong Ming also put forward a lot of suggestions for this logo, which he thinks is feasible, but it needs to be further refined in the future.

After Zhou Sen was busy with the work at hand, he turned his head and saw Zhong Ming looking up information on the Internet.

"Historical data? Uh, ancient history? And the history of World War II?"

Zhou Sen was a little surprised, wondering if these materials were related to the new game.

In this world, the history from World War Three to the end of the Omnic Crisis is called modern history, while the history before World War Three is collectively called ancient history.

Of course, this name is a bit strange for Zhong Ming, because he himself has become accustomed to the set of historical views that use the industrial revolution and the institutional revolution as the standard of division, and he finds it awkward to call World War II "ancient history".

But for people in this world, World War I and World War II are indeed very distant vocabulary.

Zhou Sen just glanced at it and didn't ask any further questions. He just talked about his own affairs: "Zhong Ming, what engine will we use to make the game?"

"This game can be done with Mcs2D." Zhong Ming replied.

"Oh well."

Zhou Sen went directly to download the Mcs2D engine.

There are many game engines in this world, each with different characteristics.

Mcs2D is an entry-level commonly used game engine. It is an open source framework. Its three biggest advantages are: free, free, and free.

Of course, there are also some other advantages, such as stability, ease of use, special optimization for portable mobile device environments such as bracelets, and so on.

The disadvantage is also very prominent, that is, it is basically difficult to do 3D things, so its name is also clearly written, it is called Mcs2D, a game engine specializing in 2D games.

Similar game engines can be regarded as a complete set of development tools, including editors. Choosing a suitable game engine can help save costs and shorten development time, mainly to reduce unnecessary work for programmers. quantity.

Although this engine is not high-end, it is more commonly used.Although large companies basically don't use it, most independent game producers, including some newcomers who have not been in the industry for a long time, like to use this engine as their first choice.

Zhou Sen is an experienced program anyway, so he is very familiar with this engine.
