When Zhu Youxing saw Tian Chong for the first time during this lecture, he didn't feel much at all.
Then when Zhu Youxing saw Tian Chong for the second time, he felt a vague sense of familiarity.
First of all, his appearance made him somewhat familiar, but he was really busy at work, and it was easy for people he didn't know well to forget, not to mention that the last time he saw Tian Chong was several years ago.
But in the end, Zhu Youxing still roughly recalled Tian Chong. It seemed that when he first met Aiko and the other three, Tian Chong was one of them, and he asked for his autograph.
"Yes, Teacher Zhuyou, my name is Tian Chong! My father used to be a newspaper editor, and now he has resigned to become an independent economic writer for the video game industry. My father also said that he has met you several times!"
"Um?"
Zhu Youxing was slightly surprised. Is this still happening?
No wonder he felt that Tian Chong looked a little familiar. It seemed that not only had he met the Tian Chong in front of him, but he had also met his father many times.
At this time, Zhu Youxing also recalled a middle-aged man again.
That was when Youxing Electronic Entertainment was just starting out, and the video game environment at that time was not particularly good.
The TV industry is crazily suppressing video games, hoping that through suppression, the TV industry can continue to prosper.
At the same time, the newspapers associated with these TV stations also followed the steps of the TV stations to suppress video games.
But at this time, only one major newspaper and one TV station were exceptions.
That is the Nikkei Business News and TV Tokyo.
TV Tokyo is an affiliated company of Keizai Shimbun, and its biggest connection with Keizai Shimbun is that a senior executive of Keizai Shimbun is its angel investor, the only one who has an independent shareholding so far.
An old acquaintance of my father.
As an executive of Nihon Keizai Shimbun, he was also very open-minded about video games in the face of actual interests. At the same time, an editor named Tian Chong in the newspaper under him was a rare video game tout at the time.
Later, Zhu Youxing met this man many times. At that time, he felt that this man had a very good vision.
I didn't expect that this Oda Chong and that man had a father-son relationship.
Zhu Youxing said: "That's really fate."
Oda Chong said: "Teacher Zhuyu, I have always dreamed of becoming a top game developer like you. Do you think I can do it?"
"This... you need to work hard on your own. I can't tell you that you can do it when I see you in person, but you must work hard on your own to prove that you can do it."
Zhu Youxing has no intention of giving any blood to this acquaintance. No matter how hard some people try, they can never seem to be the best. This is indeed something that cannot be helped. Some are related to luck, and some are related to luck.
It's also related to talent.
However, this Tian Chong Zhu Youxing can be considered as memorized. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can pay more attention to it.
The purpose of his coming here now is not to reminisce with Tian Chong. He looked at the two of them and said: "Just now, Tian Chong was worried that the game capacity would have too much content, which would lead to an exponential increase in game problems. This worry is indeed true.
It's necessary, but I can also take this opportunity to tell you about the power of Unreal Engine."
Zhu Youxing casually took the computer aside and started operating it.
"I'm afraid you have only regarded Unreal Engine more as an editing tool and a relatively labor-saving game production tool before. But in fact, I prefer to call this engine the industrial mother machine of the video game factory, and the industrial
There are quite a lot of things that the mother machine can do.”
"Meyer, you just said that you want to add fishing and horse racing functions to the Assassin's Creed game?"
"Yes, can it be done?"
"Of course. Although this has little to do with the game itself, what I proposed from the beginning was to create a rich enough world. Even if some game features may never be touched by players, the details are in this little bit.
accumulated in it.”
At this moment, Zhu Youxing recalled a game he was very familiar with in his previous life: Red Dead Redemption.
This is really a model of an open world game.
In it you can do any number of things you can think of.
The development team of Red Dead Redemption has indeed developed the game in an industrial manner while also adding depth to the game itself.
This is also the direction Zhuyouxing hopes to develop in the future.
"Actually, the fishing and horse racing systems are already built into the engine and can be called directly."
Under Zhu Youxing's operation, the Unreal Engine seemed to possess magic. Functions were called out one by one, and then added to the large game framework that already had a certain prototype.
At the same time, other teams will also receive the same game framework and know that fishing and horse racing functions will be added to it.
Tian Chong, who was watching from the side, felt as if a new world had been opened to him.
When he was thinking about game production before, he was always worried about this and that, but now it seems that he really doesn't have to think so much about whether it is fun or not. He first adds it to the game, and then works hard to make the content fun, or
Just delete it if you're sure it's no longer fun.
As for Meyer, his creativity has been greatly recognized. Now he feels so inspired that he immediately wants to go back and continue working on his new ideas.
Zhu Youxing patted the shoulder of Tian Chong who was in a daze and said: "Don't worry about game performance or capacity issues. These are not issues you should consider. All you need to consider is making the game interesting enough, because, this
Times are no longer like the past, where developing a game requires a lot of effort in terms of capacity. This is probably the biggest benefit of this era."
Then Zhu Youxing left, leaving Tian Chong thinking alone.
Elsewhere, many developers have truly seen the power of Unreal Engine.
They were really not proficient in using it before. It was just a few very simple gameplay functions, but they always wanted to use complicated ways to complete them. But in fact, Unreal Engine itself can already implement it for you in a more convenient way.
.
Could it be said that many games developed by Youxing Electronic Entertainment in the past can be so convenient? Can a game be completed by just proficiently calling various functions of Unreal Engine?
No wonder Yuxing Electronic Entertainment can develop games so efficiently. The true strength of Unreal Engine is really beyond imagination.
While they were amazed, they also began to study the Unreal Engine seriously. They had really underestimated the Unreal Engine itself before. This is just like the average person who can only use spreadsheet software to do some simple content in eight hours of work, but the proficient ones
The old man can compress someone else's eight-hour workload into one hour or even less. This is simply incomparable.
