  Chapter 1164 Grand Thefter

  After the Olympic Games, the prestige of Youxing Electronic Entertainment has reached an unprecedented level.

   Has achieved quite good results in many fields.

  Now Youxing Electronic Entertainment is involved in movies, TV dramas, animations, and toys around games. These things can also make more money.

  Although Youxing Electronic Entertainment has never expressed it to outsiders, many people have regarded Youxing Electronic Entertainment as a comprehensive entertainment and cultural enterprise.

   And the most important thing is that this company has almost no negative reviews, which is very unique among all companies.

  According to the questionnaires of some professional organizations, Youxing Electronic Entertainment is also the company that many related practitioners yearn for most. Unfortunately, it is difficult to enter this company easily now, at least some real materials are needed.

  Among them, the one who considers himself the luckiest should be the producer who developed the infinite world.

  Since he came to Youxing Electronic Entertainment, he has directly obtained the internal engine development kit provided by Youxing Electronic Entertainment, which is not at the same level as the publicly available Unreal Engine system outside.

  Originally, there are many large and small loopholes in the infinite world. These loopholes were not expected when he proposed the game settings before.

  In the past, he has made some simple small games, and the functions are usually relatively single. After making them, he has also received a lot of praise from his classmates.

  This may also give him an illusion, that is, he will mistakenly believe that game development is very simple, as long as he works hard, he will definitely have a good result.

  But when the scale of the game increased exponentially, he finally realized that the game is really not that easy to develop.

   This is not simply an increase in manpower.

  The bigger the game, the more complex the problems it has to face.

   When he really got started and started making infinite world games, he felt that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment could make Cyberpunk 2077 simply a monster.

   No wonder he saw that many old game practitioners in game development forums would say that the release of Cyberpunk 2077 made them desperate.

   This despair does not come from the size of the game.

   Simply piling up data can make the game reach the level of Cyberpunk 2077.

  But the thickness is completely unable to achieve simple stacking.

  Let’s not talk about how those complex systems can be so perfectly integrated, just say that the infinitely close to real line volume collision in the Cyberpunk 2077 system is enough to make game developers scratch their heads for a long time.

   There are some small gameplay mechanics in Cyberpunk 2077.

  These mechanisms are usually invisible, and ordinary players may not notice these details. Sometimes, because they are too similar to reality, players will have an illusion that this should be there.

  For example, this real line volume collision shows the interactive response of a wire in the game scene.

   The character can hold this wire to move around in the surrounding environment.

  Many times this kind of very thin wire will cause the model to wear through the mold because of its small size in the game.

  If you want not to wear the mold, you need very complicated program calculations. Although it is not impossible to do it, it will be amazing if you do it.

  The producer of Infinity World found this kit in this internal engine development system, which is the experience accumulated during the development of cyberpunk, which can be directly used by later generations.

  If this thing is put outside, it will definitely become something that many game companies are eager to emulate.

   But drawing to the inside of Youxing Electronic Entertainment is now just a technical tool to use.

   There are many more things like this in this internal engine development system, which is like a treasure trove.

   And it seems to be inexhaustible.

   Now he gradually understands why Youxing Electronic Entertainment has become the best game company in the minds of many people.

  Why are there so many people eager to join this company.

  First of all, there is no need to say more about the treatment. There are various bonus incentives for weekends, and the work pressure is much less than other companies.

  The reason why most games are developed quickly is that, in addition to having a clear direction, there is also enough freedom for every developer to imagine and put forward ideas to realize.

   Now he has been in Youxing Electronic Entertainment for more than half a year, and he has gained far more than he did in the previous few years with Mickford.

  These gains are the most precious wealth, far more precious than the salary and money you get.

  Now if he is asked to develop another game similar to Infinite World, he can have the confidence to complete the game development task in the same amount of time.

  It seems that the game development cycle given by Mickford is not so scary anymore, it seems that it can be completed with a little effort.

   Obviously he is now in a state of absolute confidence.

   "Hi, good morning."

  The producer of Infinity World came to work in the morning, and the surrounding Youxing Electronic Entertainment employees greeted him enthusiastically, and he responded enthusiastically one by one.

  He also feels very comfortable here, that is, the atmosphere among employees is also very harmonious, without so much messy office competition.

  Competition is of course indispensable, and different game development departments are also striving to develop better games, but this is a healthy competitive relationship, which is very different from the vicious office political competition environment of other companies.

   "Hey, how is the development of your infinite world? I heard that you seem to have gained a lot recently."

  A person suddenly leaned over and asked curiously.

  The producer of Infinite World smiled: "It is true that I have gained a lot recently. I have prepared an initial game trial demo. Do you want to try it?"

The man was a little happy after hearing this, then looked at his watch, then nodded and said: "Well, there are still eight hours before my task is completed, it doesn't matter if you take a little two hours to play games, let's go Play with your infinite world over there."

   Infinite World has been criticized by many people before, and he came to Youxing Electronic Entertainment with the preparation that he would be looked down upon.

   But what he didn't expect was that these people were still very interested in the game Infinite World.

  At ordinary times, they will get together with themselves to study the development of the infinite world, and occasionally they can offer advice to themselves and share the development experience of their respective departments to make his infinite world development more efficient.

   It can be said that a large part of the achievements of Infinity World now come from the credit of many employees of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

   "By the way, why are you so interested in my game? Actually, my game should be boring and boring, and it shouldn't be difficult for you to make a similar game."

"Huh? It's not difficult to make a game like yours? Then you really demeaned yourself a bit. Just take your technical design about this infinite world alone. This is a pretty good idea, to a great extent. It solves the problem that the volume of the game cannot be guaranteed 100%.”

"Of course, there are still imperfections in this mechanism, but this is not a big problem, and it can be solved. The key is that the person who proposed this idea is you. As the initiator of the idea, you are worthy of our respect, even if this The game may look bad right now, but we all believe the future is good."

  Respect individual creativity and will not easily deprive others of their creativity.

  The producer of Infinite World was a little touched and moved.

"Come on, this is a two-hour DEMO that our team has developed, but in fact, this DEMO test has entered the later stage. You can load the things in this test version on the game body at any time, and you should not encounter anything. Vicious BUG."

   "Oh, let me try."

  This person eagerly picked up the handle and began to manipulate the character in this demo demo.

  The characters in the game can enter various worlds for adventure through the portal.

  Before, each randomly generated world in the infinite world was too strange, and the biological system was also very messy, with no sense of beauty at all.

   It is for this reason that many players feel cheated after playing.

  Because the world content of the Infinite World game press conference at Mickford’s side was very rich and beautiful.

  Afterwards, according to the investigation of interested people, they determined that Mickford's original press conference was suspected of fraud.

   Infinite World's worlds are indeed randomly generated.

  But the world in the press conference has been artificially adjusted, which makes the world not look so bad.

   If it is not a random world that has been adjusted, it will be difficult to unify the style of painting.

  But this problem is no longer a problem now.

   The Unreal Engine system inside Youxing Electronic Entertainment has a more advanced AI computing mechanism, which can assist the randomly generated planets to create a game scene that looks more in line with the aesthetics of normal people.

   It’s just that this will require higher configuration of the player’s game environment.

But it is not without a solution. You can directly let these players load the AI ​​world that other players have built into their computers and game consoles, and then take risks in this aesthetically pleasing world, which can save most players from It's going to be a bad world.

  And as the number of players increases, more and more worlds are randomly generated, and more and more worlds conform to the aesthetics of normal people.

   "The world looks much better now. I would say that our AI computing unit is very effective."

   This person said with some pride while playing.

His job is actually responsible for the AI ​​computing part of the Unreal Engine. He is in charge of optimization. He was originally a student in Benedy's AI lab. After graduation, he joined Youxing Electronic Entertainment and became a full-time AI computing designer. , if such talents are released outside, they should be snapped up by many companies.

  But he has no interest in this, because those companies don't have cutting-edge things like Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and they don't have so many unpublished fun games.

   "By the way, have you tried the Grand Theft Auto 5 game in the next department? That game is also great, let me tell you."

  Grand Rogue 5?

  He is quite familiar with this.

   This is also one of the golden signs of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

   For a long time, this game series dominated the charts for a long time.

   It is especially popular in the United States.

  Even some time later, some people were talking about why the Japanese could develop games in the style of Grand Theft Auto.

  But they Americans can't.

   This is unspeakable.

  Youxing Electronic Entertainment also spent a lot of energy in order to produce a game like Grand Theft Auto 5, and the money invested will not be much less than Burpunk 2077.

  Other companies are definitely incomparable.

  The companies in the United States that can invest a huge amount of money in the development of games are rare.

  There is only one company that has the same development technology as Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and that is Brown Entertainment.

   It’s just that Brown Entertainment is not interested in this type of open world game. Huck Brown is obsessed with first-person fast-paced shooting games, wants to catch up with Titanfall and Counter-Strike, and focuses on developing online role-playing online games.

  This kind of plot-based open world stand-alone game is not his taste.

   "Grand Rogue 5? Is the game ready for release?" asked the producer of Infinite Worlds.

"That's not yet. I heard that it will take more than half a year. I heard that it is the game release plan of the headquarters. The game body is indeed almost done. Now we can try to play in advance internally. This is our welfare. Don't you want to try it out?"

  Playing unpublished games within the company in advance is also one of the benefits of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, and it may be more desirable than the benefits of letting these developers take vacations.

   "Really, then I must go and have a look."

  The producer of Infinite World is a loyal fan of developing world games.

   Otherwise, he would not be able to conceive a truly infinite open world game through whimsy.

  If there is no passion, it is impossible for him to stick to the development of this game until now just by putting forward an idea.

  When this person speaks, the producer of Infinite World has begun to be a little absent-minded, and he is not particularly attentive in answering some questions about the game asked by colleagues who are trying to play.

   After playing for more than an hour, this colleague put down the controller with some unfinished business. It was time for him to go to work, and then he looked at the producer of the infinite world.

"This game has been completed quite well. I think you can already tell the boss about your current development status. I think he should be very happy. Then choose a good day to update these new functions to Game-wise, trust me, those players will be amazed to see a whole new look to the infinite world."

   Will it really happen?

  The producers of Infinite World actually have little self-confidence.

  The reason why he wants to insist on developing the infinite world is mainly because this game is his whole effort, just like a child, who has been cultivated through hard work and definitely does not want to sink completely.

  He regretted many times why he didn't insist on continuing to develop the game instead of forcing it to be released.

  If he insisted on continuing to develop, the game would not have so much infamy when it came out.

   Now that this terrible game suddenly said that it would be revived, he himself didn't believe it.

   "I'm going to talk to the boss, but before that, I want to watch Grand Theft Auto 5"

   Obviously at this moment his identity as a player has defeated his identity as a game developer, and now he just wants to play the latest internal version of Rogue 5, and see what unexpected new breakthroughs this new top open world game has.
