Homecoming of Rebirth

"Go on!!"

Chapter 231 The Sense of Mission

Make a platform!

A shared technology, shared experience, to create a comprehensive platform from research and development, anti-cheat, operation, to game integration.

For the Yitang of Tang Haichao and the Chineseren of Chen Fangzhou, the attraction at this time is not great.

After all, the volume is still not big enough. One is dedicated to the community, and the other has not opened yet. How can they have the ability to develop games by themselves?

Including Wang Zhendong, when making games, he is just doing it with the mentality of trying it out and exploring the way.

The agency game has not even started, let alone what platform to use.

However, Ding Lei was different.

Netease has been trying to develop the game from the beginning of its establishment, so at this time, Ding Lei is the most important.

"Tell me!"

Qi Lei smiled indifferently, "Currently making games is nothing more than a few aspects, server technology, overall integration experience, and 2D3D game engine, including the optimization level!"

"The rest are hard work such as themes and textures."

"Let's not talk about the server, Actoz cherishes itself, and the solution with a logical server is nostalgic."

"If there is no two sets of solutions from Sanshi, none of us will be blind. Even if we form a team to find a solution, how much time and effort will it take? Moreover, each company makes its own, and each company has a solution. Not to mention the waste of resources, repeated research and development It's not worth it, is it?"

"And the initial server research and development is only one aspect. What about the actual problems encountered in the later operation? Troubleshooting, etc., bug fixes, including security issues, this is not just a matter of spending money. How much manpower and material resources will be invested? How many detours?"

Ding Lei nodded, this is indeed the most practical question.

Not only Ding Lei, but also Wang Zhendong and Tang Haichao nodded their heads.

These are what everyone wants, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to great lengths to get the mature plan of Sanshi Company.

Tang Haichao said: "The main reason is that we are inexperienced!"

Qi Lei, "That's why we need to share experiences!"

"Our current situation is that we are crossing the river by feeling the stones! Why don't we hold hands and let's go together?"

As soon as this remark came out, Ding Lei's expression was obvious, and several other people also agreed with it, and became interested.

Qi Lei continued: "This is only a problem with the server, what if you develop your own game? It will be even more troublesome!"

"Let's not talk about anything else, Brother Ding, has NetEase ever planned to build its own 3D engine?"

When Ding Lei heard it, "It's still 3D? We just made the 2D engine!"

As I said before, in this era, it is not so easy to make games in China, and there is nothing from scratch.

Netease wants to make games, not to mention the 3D engine, the 2D engine has to be developed by itself.

It’s not that there are none in China. There are a group of manufacturers who have made stand-alone games before and accumulated some experience in the mainland and Baodao. The most famous ones are Daewoo and Xishanju.

But those are core technologies, and no one will give them to you.

What's more terrible is that there is still a market for stand-alone games in this era, and it is a bigger market than online games.

These game manufacturers are not short of money, not to mention capital capture, they can't even dig people.

Ding Lei seemed to have found a place to pour out his bitterness, "Let's be honest, as soon as NetEase was established in 97, I wanted to make games! But two years have passed, and the foundation has not yet been laid, and the project "Journey to the West" is also progressing slowly. .”

"This is still a 2D turn-based game, so difficult! It's so difficult!"

In the original history, Journey to the West will take two years to come out.

Speaking of 3D engines...

"This aspect is basically a foreign monopoly. You won't be able to use a good engine, and the general licensing fee is scary. Who wouldn't want to make one themselves?"

"However, the cost is too high and the risk is too great, don't dare!"

Qi Lei spread his hands, "Then what should we do? This thing will be used sooner or later!"

"If you don't dare to do it, you have to do it! Besides, NetEase will do one thing, and Sanshi will do one thing in the future when he makes games himself?"

Ding Lei, "I understand!"

At this time, Ding Lei was very excited, "You mean, let's gather strength and help each other?"

Qi Lei, "It's not really mutual help, to put it bluntly, it's just mutual use!"

"Those who are capable contribute technology, those who are incapable contribute money, and share risks!"

As soon as this remark came out, Tang Haichao and Chen Fangzhou also became interested this time, "How to share the burden? Tell me!"

Qi Lei, "Take the 3D engine as an example!"

"Netease and Sina are big companies. You have sufficient talent reserves and the ability to develop your own engine. However, Chinaren, Yitang, and Sanshi do not have this ability in this regard."

"However, we have funds! If one of the two of you shares a set of 3D engines, then the other companies will pay a little money to reduce NetEase's research and development risks and reduce costs. Isn't it difficult?"

"As for Chinaren, Yitang, and Sanshi, they paid money but got technology, and they also have the confidence to make high-end games."

"Everyone cooperates for a win-win situation!"

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, "This plan is feasible!"

NetEase is indeed capable, but the risk is too great, Ding Lei dare not act rashly.

But if there are several other companies helping to share the risk, it's another matter.

"Hi!!" Qi Lei waved his hands, "Actually, the 3D engine is something that none of us need to worry about."

"Bring Xishanju in, they developed this technology, Sanshi gave him the server solution, and NetEase and Sina gave him traffic! Old Tang and Old Chen, if you give me a little money, won't this matter be resolved?"

"!!!"

This time Ding Lei's eyeballs glistened, fuck, that's a good idea!

Qi Lei, "For another example, sharing at the technical level solves some problems, so we can also make a fuss about operations."

"For example, let's put the game on one platform, no matter whose game it is, several companies will drain it together. Isn't it better to drain the platform than you alone?"

"The game market is huge. It is impossible for our family to make all kinds of games. Every company has its own field of expertise, and there will be no big conflicts between everyone."

"This..." A few people look at me, and I look at you.

Of course, Tang Haichao and Chen Fangzhou have no objection. In terms of traffic, who has the most traffic on the navigation network?Who is as famous as Netease and Sina?They are taking advantage.

But Ding Lei and Wang Zhendong...

It wasn't that he felt that he was at a disadvantage, but he looked at Qi Lei strangely and said to himself, are you really Santa Claus?

In terms of traffic, no one can beat the navigation network?Qi Lei is equivalent to supporting several families, how can he be so selfless?

No matter from which point of view, Sanshi Company is the most disadvantaged!

Taking out the server technology and sharing traffic, it is no problem for Sanshi to build such a platform by itself.

Ding Lei and Wang Zhendong became dignified, this result was a bit far beyond expectations.

Qi Lei isn't cutting flesh, what the hell is he selling himself!The bones and dregs were all crushed and poured water for everyone to drink.

However, there is a law in the market, the more you take advantage, the more careful you have to be.

This little devil is not a good stubble, if he is willing to give such a big benefit, the plan must be not small.

Ding Lei cut straight to the point, "Tell me, what conditions does Sanshi Company have?"

Wang Zhendong also looked forward to it, "Mr. Qi, don't go around the bush and give it a good time."

But he didn't want to, Qi Lei frowned, "What's the matter? I'm so sincere, what are you thinking?"

"Don't worry, there will be no twists and turns this time, Sanshi Company will unconditionally support the establishment of the platform!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The four of them were dumbfounded again, isn't it possible?Really?Why do you not believe it?

However, if this is true, then Qi Lei is really generous, a fool would not do it!

Resource sharing, technology collaboration, money to pay, strong to contribute, but also to avoid the infighting caused by foreign companies like Actoz.

"This idea...is good!"

Wang Zhendong nodded again and again, "Count me into Sina!"

After hearing this, Qi Lei was also forthright, "I took the lead. I'll set an example first. The server solution is placed in the association. As long as you are an internal member of the association, you can use it for free and authorize it for free."

Generously said: "What the hell are you taking advantage of? I... have bloodletting! You can do what you want, if you don't believe me, you don't have to join!"

After saying this, Qi Lei smiled slyly.

Whoever thinks this way will fall into Qi Lei's trap.

But, can you not join?

No matter what Qi Lei is thinking, it would be really stupid not to join.

In fact, it's not that they are stupid, they can't figure out where Qi Lei's hole was dug.It's that they couldn't think of it even after thinking about it, the benefits Qi Lei got were beyond their comprehension at the moment.

Because, that pit is in the future!

Yes, in this situation completely out of the trajectory of future generations, Qi Lei finally took advantage of his rebirth again.

That is, no one knows better than Qi Lei, which game is the most profitable!

……

※※※

Until the last moment, no one knows who is the final winner.

Everyone is coveting Sanshi's technology and wants to share this piece of fat.

And in the end they all got their wish, Qi Lei took out the technology.However, no one expected that it would be presented in such a form.

An all-round platform for resource sharing and technology sharing, this is not simply the Steam of later generations, but a comprehensive platform that integrates R&D resource sharing.

So the question is, why did Qi Lei build such a platform?

Mainly there are two reasons:

First, as I said before, Sanshi Company is currently unable to engage in game research and development, and it is not a good thing to spread too much.

It is imperative to represent Legendary, but no one knows better than Qi Lei what the future development of the game industry will be.

And once Sanshi Company breaks into the game industry, if it does not make a few games by itself, it will not only be sorry for the business opportunities of the times, but also be sorry for Qi Lei's perception of Chinese people's taste in games in the next 20 years.

then what should we do?

It can only be that the straw boat borrowed arrows!

Borrow the hands of others to reduce the difficulty of research and development.

Making games and acting as an agent are two completely different concepts, not to mention technical difficulties. The game industry in China, let alone online games, is not as good as Taiwan's production level of stand-alone games.

Starting from scratch, algorithms, engines, market research, content setting, etc., etc., this series of problems cannot be solved just by solving them.

If Sanshi Company wants to complete this series of things by itself, it will be troublesome.

You know, this era is not the future, and a few people can play games.

Zhang San of Ghost Valley can make "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds", and a small team of several people can develop a mobile game or something.

Game engine, world structure, etc., I can’t wait to find a professional forum to download, and even texture materials are ready-made.

All kinds of modeling software and tutorials are overwhelming.

You must know that the foundation for games in later generations has already been laid by the predecessors, and all you need to do is build blocks on it.

But 99 was still a barbaric era. Let alone the foundation, there are very few people who can lay the foundation.

There is no subject about game production in universities, and many programmers don't even have a foundation in this area.
