Chapter 840

After returning to Suhua from Ninghai, Meng Huo focused on the rebellious Lu Xiu.

Alice didn't come back with him because Shen Jie hasn't left comic island. During the day, Meng Huo was very busy, because in a few days, he had to return to Ninghai to start making wine of eternal life. He wanted to make the work of rebellious Lu Xiu more stable.

In the evening, the original serial of "the soul of chess" was finished as early as last year, so Meng Huo didn't have to take part in Qin Ya's painting in their studio. He had a night off, and the next night he planned to go to the game department to make it.

After dinner, Meng Huo goes out and presses the elevator. However, when the elevator is opened, he finds Shen Jie standing inside.

"Why, are you going out?" Shen Jie is surprised to ask. She hasn't seen Meng Huo for a long time. Today, she finds time to see him and say goodbye to him. Unexpectedly, she meets Meng Huo who is going out.

"Well, I have to go to the game department once." Meng Huo frowned: "why don't you say it before you come? The staff of the game department are working overtime to wait for me. I can't go tonight."

Shen Jie didn't expect Meng Huo to go out, so she didn't have to inform Meng Huo in advance. However, seeing Meng Huo go out, she didn't stop her: "it doesn't matter. Take me with you. You didn't have an important job in the evening, did you?"

Meng Huo nodded: "I'm just going to have a look."

He thinks it's no big deal to take Shen Jie there, so he walks into the elevator and walks to the game production department with her. On the way, he explains to Shen Jie the specific reasons for going to the game production department this time.

It has to start from the Chinese New Year. Clannad was finished years ago, so the painters Meng Huo transferred from the game production department to help them quit. Meng Huo thought that in this way, he would have to give them a game to make after work.

The business of the game Department has also been idle for a long time. Meng Huo made some preparations for the new game during the holiday, but he didn't have a complete set of preparations - because before he was ready, He Xi called to tell him that he hoped that he would not launch a new game for the time being.

"Ah, I know that." Hearing this, Shen Jie nodded: "I was by your side at that time. I remember that she seemed to say that she had found some very powerful game designers and wanted to try to make a game by herself, right?"

"Yes." Meng Huo nodded. When he transferred the painter last year, He Xi said that she wanted to play some games by herself. At that time, Meng Huo didn't care much about it, but he didn't expect that He Xi was very enthusiastic about it. Taking advantage of the New Year holiday, he managed to poach designers from several well-known game manufacturers.

With the designer, He Xi further asked Meng Huo not to rush to launch a new word adventure game, but to give her the painters in the game Department - she can make good use of them.

Meng Huo was surprised that He Xi's project needed the whole department. He thought that it was not a simple game, but he was also very busy preparing materials for films and animations. Seeing this situation, he was willing to let go.

In fact, he very much hopes that the game department can develop other games independently when there is no word adventure game, so that Meng Huo does not have to watch everything, so as to reduce the burden, especially in the case of wine of eternal life and magician at the beginning of the century, and reduce the energy of developing new games, which also makes Meng Huo feel relaxed.

After the annual leave, Meng Huo has been busy with other things. Now that he has time, he wants to see what He Xi is doing“ Although I agreed to let her develop new games. " Meng Huo said with a smile to Shen Jie, "but it's not all games. At least I have to go and see if she doesn't mess around."

He said so, but Meng Huo trusted He Xi in his heart. In fact, he was just curious. After listening to him, Shen Jie is also interested in the new game He Xi is developing: "will take the initiative to let Meng Huo delay the production of text adventure game, what game is He Xi doing?"

She felt that it would be a good game, not a good game, so she insisted on what to do - but when she got to the game production department, Shen Jie was a little disappointed.

"Nothing, haven't you started yet..." when He Xi introduced her new employee to Meng Huo, Shen Jie had secretly scanned all the computer screens of the game department. These computer screens are all code data and design drawings. There is no shaping scene, so we can see that the game has not been officially made.

Meng Huo soon noticed this. When she asked about the name of He Xi's new game, she simply replied, "I don't know, we haven't started yet!"

Meng Huo was surprised: "what are you doing now?"

"Game engine!" He Xi excitedly said: "although we haven't started to make new games, we already have the idea of games. We want to make a super large, super gorgeous and super fun online game! But before that, we have to do a good job of the game engine. "The so-called game engine, just like the engine of a vehicle, is very important to a game. A successful engine can support a variety of operating platforms, including many systems: rendering engine (i.e. "render", including two-dimensional image engine and three-dimensional image engine), physical engine, collision detection system, sound effect, script engine, computer animation, artificial intelligence, network engine, scene management, etc

It can be said that the game engine is the lifeline of the game, And a successful engine can produce many different games - that's what He Xi is doing.

"Online games... Is the engine of online games so easy to do?" Meng Huo feels a little headache. In fact, he doesn't know much about games, but the game engine knows something. It's normal for an excellent online game engine to spend several years making.

But how could he have given hessy so long?

"Teacher, you don't know. The best engine is free." He Xi laughed: "how can I develop from scratch? It's because of the free engine that I have the idea of making my own games."

She introduced to Meng Huo the most excellent game engine of Huaxia today, Dream4. This engine is different from the past engine. It is free - in other words, the engine business has given up the way of renting and buying out at sky high prices in the past, and has chosen an open and win-win way.

It's free, but it's not really free‘ Dream4 has the highest performance of all the engines, and its optimization is also very good. It not only makes all the tools and source code public, but also provides a complete ecosystem. Future updates will be free of charge.

It has only one way of charging, that is, when someone uses this engine to make a game, commercializes it and earns more than 50000 yuan, they have to pay 5% of the copyright fee one after another - slowly pay all the full copyright fee.

This kind of charging method is very humanized. If a game is not successful, it doesn't need to pay. If it is successful, the game makers don't have to pay too much money at one time. They just need to pay it slowly.

Of course, the cost of full copyright is much higher than other engines, but the risk is low and the quality is good. He Xi was the first to choose this one.

"So it is..." Meng Huo understood roughly, but he was still puzzled: "in that case, can't the engine be used directly? What are you doing? What do you want the painters to do? "

"We're just building a new engine, but..." He Xi mischievously lengthened her voice, and then said: "in fact, it's wrong to build an engine, but we're really modifying the engine of dream 4. I'm not very satisfied with it..."

She pulled a game designer around her and introduced Meng Huo to him again, Meng Huo then found out that the game designer was one of the developers of Dream4, and there was another one.

There are two original developers of Dream4. He Xicai boldly decided to modify the engine. Her dissatisfaction with the original engine is mainly the image, and the modification is mainly the image engine.

"Then you want painters to..."

"Yes, to help make this image engine." He Xi nodded: "all the engines of dream 4 are great, but the image engine is different from what I imagined... Maybe you are spoiled by Mr. He Xi. I want a better rendering image engine."

With this engine alone, she needs several months to modify it, so she hopes Meng Huo can give her a few months.

"What about the game?" Meng Huo agreed, but he still didn't know what he wanted to know about the game.

"I don't care about the game. I haven't thought about it yet." He Xi was a little embarrassed: "although I have a preliminary idea, I want to make an online game, but the specific planning has not yet started, we first do the engine well, and then do your game. With the engine, we can think about new games slowly.... "

He Xi already has a direction and knows what kind of engine she needs. But what kind of game is not something that she can figure out overnight. She is ready to prepare slowly, but the premise is to make the engine well.

"Online games..." Meng Huo found that He Xi's heart was very big, and he seemed to have plans to fight for a long time.

However, he was also thoughtful. He had an idea before. Meng Huo never thought it was possible, but now it seems that it's not true - "can you explain this engine to me? And show me its effect... "

He asked He Xi for advice on the engine of "dream four". He Xi naturally explained it to him seriously. Meng Huo was unexpectedly interested and stayed in the game department for two hours. Two hours later, he has fully understood the effects of the game engine and what kind of games it can make.

"This engine is good. You can modify it according to your plan. If you don't have enough money, you can apply to me!" Meng Huo likes the "dream four" engine very much, because he finds that it can make the top online games in his last life and realize many of his ideas. Of course... He is very busy now, so he can only bury his ideas in his heart for a while
