Otherworldly Architect

The harvest of this trip is pretty good.

Varian doesn't know if he is willing to join, but the engine recommended by Mr. Zhou, he downloaded the free non-commercial version and tried it after he got home.

The engine is like the heart of a game, or the propulsion system of a rocket.

Although it can't completely determine how good the final result is, it is responsible for delivering power to various components and ensuring that everything runs smoothly.

The "Xingyue" engine is small in size, just suitable for VR games of about 20TB.

It is clearly estimated that the new game should be between 10TB and 20TB.

It is dozens of times larger than "Minecraft", of course, the profitability must also increase exponentially.

In this regard, Mingyan is very confident in it.

That night, Mingyan spent money lavishly online.

The first month's profit of the last game, he still has 500 million on hand.

Mingyan first rented a server at a price of tens of thousands of yuan a month, and planned to use it to operate the official website of Blue Star Studio.

This website had to be handed over to an outsourcing company for production. The design requirements stated that the document had been written in advance. The negotiated price was about 20 yuan, and half of it was paid as a deposit.

Then there is the money spent by hiring headhunters before, and only tens of thousands of dollars are left for the final payment.

The headhunter found two young people who were not bad, but they were unwilling to follow Mingyan to start a business.

One is an experienced game player who can do game testing first.He has his own job, only signed a part-time contract, and pays according to the time of each test.

The other is a technical artist who has not yet graduated and is looking for an internship. He is mainly here to mix his qualifications, but his academic performance is not bad.This person has only been here for six months, but his monthly salary is two thousand, which is quite cheap.

Then, Mingyan bought a one-stop VR workbench with a medium configuration online, which can basically be understood as a high-end version of the work computer.

Developing games is not something low-end computers can do.

In order to ensure the production speed of the game screen and special effects, Mingyan also bought a second one, which is specially used for rendering.

For this item alone, another close to 100 million was spent.

Finally, there are assets that need to be used in the new game.

Some general sound effects, pictures, special effects and other materials can be bought in the game material market, but the aesthetics cannot be guaranteed.

In order to prevent the work in this area from stagnating if Varian doesn't join, he clearly bought a batch of art materials and put them in the material library.

As for music, he is still actively contacting suitable outsourcing studios.

This item has spent more than [-] yuan one after another, and it will definitely increase exponentially when the production of the game is officially started.

In this way, Mingyan's nearly 200 million funds on the books have become a large number of fixed assets of Blue Star Studio.

In the next few days, Mingyan has been reading the manual, learning to use the new engine "Xingyue".

The research and development capability of the alma mater is still quite strong. This engine, which is still in BETA testing, has quite good performance capabilities, which is completely sufficient for Mingyan.

He tried to make a small game to get familiar with the engine.

The size of this game is very small, only about 20GB, less than one-tenth of "Minecraft", basically smaller than 99% of the current VR games.

The game mainly tells a well-known..."The story of the loyal dog Hachiko".

Hachiko is a well-known Akita dog in Lanxing.

And the player will act as the boss of a newsstand, at first selling newspapers to Hachiko’s master every day, watching Hachiko send the master to work;

Later, Hachiko's owner unfortunately passed away, and only Hachiko was left to wait at the train station not far away every day, and the protagonist would occasionally feed Hachiko.

The content of the game spans 12 years from the beginning to the death of Hachiko.

Because the angle of view is very fixed, there is only one scene, and the protagonist doesn’t even have a model, so he can only reach out to feed the dog, pass newspapers to the dog owner, or pet the dog’s head—so it only needs 20G to fit it .

If each player clears the level with all their strength, it will only take about 40-50 minutes to end.

This super small game, it was stated that it had only been developed for a few days, and it was finished quickly.

For the model of the dog, he couldn't find the Akita dog from the earth for the time being, so he used the interstellar breed "Pitto" that looks a lot like it instead.

After finishing the game, he made it clear that he did not plan to use this practice work to make a profit.

After thinking about it, he simply opened a cloud network disk with 100 yuan per month, uploaded the game directly, and then hung the download link on his media account for free.

[Tiny work: I made a new mini-game called "The Story of Hachiko", which can be cleared in one hour.The plot is adapted from a real story, I hope you like it. :) (attached: download link)]

Since "Minecraft" is still hot on the list, the IPP platform has given a very good recommendation position, so a lot of traffic is still pouring in.

As a result, Mingyan's account has been brought to more than 800 million fans, and he is regarded as an out-and-out celebrity in China.

Within 10 minutes of sending the message, there were tens of thousands of views and three-digit comments.

The current players are still joking about it.

[Is my world updated!When is the promised mini-map coming out?Why are you not doing your job when you are free! 】

[Please weaken the mosaic monster, the rookie killer lives up to his reputation...]

[This game is only 20 G, is it also a pixel mosaic style? 】

[Boss is awesome, I'm here to watch the legendary talented rookie architect. 】

However, Mingyan took a look at the data on the cloud disk.

Still, close to 2 people clicked in and chose to download this mini game.

Within 10 minutes, there were not many voices on the Internet.

Mingyan came across a few by accident:

【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, why is the professor gone? Where did the professor go?Don't let Hachiko come out alone. @小工作]

In fact, there is a small reminder in the game. It will be written in the newspaper that the professor suffered a heart attack and unfortunately passed away.

[Professor and Hachiko, so warm, this is a reality healing game.Xiaoba is so cute, I will play until the sixth day soon. 】

About half an hour later, the first batch of players had fully experienced the entire game.

The online reviews suddenly started to look a little different.

[I am damn!I need to calm down now!Go to the balcony to smoke a cigarette, and I will talk about "The Story of Hachiko" when I come back. 】

【Ah Xiaoba, I'm going to die of heartache, I can't breathe. 】

[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhin ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 】

[Crying like an idiot at noon, the sound of the electric drill next door can't cover me, my mother knocked on the door and came in and told me that I was broken in love, don't think about it... #八公的故事#]

Brushing and brushing, Mingyan showed a kind smile again.

And take screenshots to save the tragic scenes of these players crying, and you can take it out to relive it later.

……

Zhou Liye has been having a good life recently, and he is sincerely thanking the creators of "Minecraft".

how to say?

Since that live broadcast incident, even though he was in his 20s, he was still beaten by his father with a belt.

But since then, the father and son have cooperated awkwardly, and there is a fixed hour after eight o'clock every day to play "Minecraft".

The father and son raised a litter of cows, sheep, pigs, and chickens together, and dug a fish pond at home.

There are several groups of diamond mines in the family. When the father and son opened the mines, they worked together, ate, chatted, and listened to cross talk together, and they never felt bored at all.

They entered the lava world and the land of ender together, and killed the big bosses in countless efforts.

There have also been funny incidents of killing each other by mistake.

Finally, life returned to peace, and they built a beacon at home with iron, gold, and diamond blocks. The beam of light soaring into the sky allows people to see the location of home at a glance no matter how far away.

Teacher Zhou has been very busy after work. Zhou Liye sometimes resented him for being closer to his students than his own son when he was a child.

But there are no family conflicts that cannot be resolved by insisting on communication.

Now the two of them have become "good buddies" and comrades-in-arms who "were born and died together".

Finally, Zhou Liye's live broadcasting business has not been continuously opposed, and he can turn on the camera at home openly.

After dinner that day, he was happily playing the new game.

At this time, Teacher Zhou just came home. He gave Zhou Liye a hard look with his eyes, and then said: "Still playing games! Still playing! They are both in their 20s. Look at what they said! He Already started working on the second project!"

Wait, Zhou Liye is a little confused, why did he bring this up all of a sudden?

"Why don't you worry about your child!" Teacher Zhou sighed, "Today he clearly said that he would go back to school to receive his graduation certificate. Do you know what he has achieved now? He is young and has no one to help him. Make a masterpiece——look at you again! You don’t even look like you’re sitting, are you a monkey?”

Zhou Liye: "..."

After more than 20 years, what should come will still come.

Let's congratulate Ms. Juliet for receiving a "other people's children" education experience card.

Teacher Zhou reprimanded his son and left with his hands behind his back.

Zhou Liye was very dissatisfied, and angrily searched Mingyan's current achievements on the Internet.

——Grass, already ranked 77th on the IPP platform free monthly list?This is still the result of a young rookie with no power and power relying on the quality of his work! !

Can't compare.

Zhou Liye closed the ranking with a depressed face, and then clicked into Mingyan's personal account.

--Um?Made a new game called "The Story of Hachiko"?

Learning is impossible, and it is impossible in this life, that is, by playing live broadcasts and playing games, you can barely get along with life like this.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Liye forgot his father's education just now, and happily downloaded "The Story of Hachiko".

After thinking about it, I turned on the camera by the way.

The live stream hasn't started yet.

When the live broadcast just started, the die-hard fans were notified and rushed over one after another.

"Good evening, today I'm here to experience the new game "Hachiko's Story". This game is made by Ming Architect, the genius who made "Minecraft". Everyone should have heard of that block masterpiece recently. Right. He said he made a little game, let's see how it goes."

Zhou Liye said hello and clicked on the newly downloaded game.

He found himself in a newsstand, who seemed to be the boss-interstellar people rarely sell paper books on the street, which made him suddenly interested.

After the game tutorial, we will enter the theme immediately.

I saw a gentle and refined old professor walk in out of sight, and said with a smile, "Good morning."

Zhou Liye said, "Good morning."

"Little Ba, say hello." The old professor bowed his head.

I saw that he was still holding a cute puppy in his hand, tilting his head to look at Zhou Liye, he was very obedient and did not make a sound.
