Hearing the employee's heartfelt confession, Myron Keys was silent for a moment, and then asked him to try playing the Final Fantasy 7 Remake game right here.
"Just... right here, boss?"
"That's right, let's play this game here. I want to see your true reaction."
This time, Myron Keys plans to take that step.
But he was very sure that if he played this game, he would definitely not be able to empathize with it, so he wanted to see how others would feel when they played this game.
This is a paid game. This kind of opportunity is rare in this world. The employee became a little nervous.
"Come on, relax, just play here, this is your job now."
"Okay boss!"
The employee was quite excited and immediately picked up the controller and entered the main interface of Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
Myron Keys didn't pay attention to the game on TV, he just stared at the employee's every moment's reaction.
He noticed that the employee's hand holding the handle was trembling slightly.
Are you nervous? Are you worried that you will be punished for playing games here?
No, probably not. I don't have such a strict impression in the company. I confessed that if I asked him to treat playing games as work now, then my employee would not be so nervous that he would be worried about being punished.
Then there is another possibility for him to tremble, that is, he can play Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which makes him tremble with excitement.
It's just a game... can it really be so exciting?
At least now Myron Keys can't feel this feeling no matter what.
At this moment, the employee has entered the game's start interface.
In the picture, a lifelike eagle is flying in the sky. The land is desolate, but in the distance, a steel city is slowly appearing in the field of vision.
"Is this... a special effect?" Myron Keys asked with some uncertainty.
This picture looks a little too real.
This is even so real that it feels a bit fake.
A normal environment would not look so real at all, just like a deliberately painted scene.
The employee immediately nodded vigorously: "Yes, boss, this is the CG special effects of the game. This is definitely the top special effects picture at this time."
"Indeed...very good."
Myron Keys began to wonder whether his game development team could create such a picture effect.
Then he felt that as long as he gave enough money, his team should be able to do it... maybe... right?
At this time, he was also a little unsure.
There's one thing that anyone developing games these days can't avoid, and that's the game engine.
As the world's top Unreal Engine, it is also the one most used by game development companies.
The game engine of Youxing Electronic Entertainment has amazing picture performance whether it is pixel special effects, real 3D special effects, or other special effects with special artistic styles.
This is the result of more than ten years of intensive research by the team at almost no cost.
Zhu Youxing has never asked how much money Unreal Engine can earn for him, but of course he still earns a lot.
Zhu Youxing's only requirement is that the Unreal Engine team does not have to worry about money. Most of the money earned from Unreal Engine can be used to continue to conduct more research and enhancements on Unreal Engine.
This also allows today's Unreal Engine to be quite comprehensive in all walks of life and in various special effects performance capabilities.
Then, relying on such strong diversified capabilities, coupled with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment’s Unreal Engine licensing strategy, most companies can hardly refuse such an engine.
Even the film and television special effects industry cannot escape the existence of Unreal Engine.
Myron Keyes’ team is also using Unreal Engine.
Even if the two parties are competitive in some industries, Zhuyouxing doesn't care at all about supporting its competitors in other aspects.
Of course, this just requires paying more.
Generally, the annual Unreal Engine usage fee for top game companies is five million US dollars and a 5% share of product sales. Start-up companies are even free to use Unreal Engine in the early stages, and will only start when their sales reach one million US dollars.
Different levels of sharing fees are carried out according to the proportion of their income.
If a competitor company like Mickford wants to use Unreal Engine, the share ratio will be 10%, and the licensing fee will not change.
In this regard, even though Surui Electronics is now in a cooperative relationship with Youxing Electronic Entertainment, the share ratio and licensing fees have not been reduced at all.
Myron Keys tried to break free from the control of Unreal Engine several times.
But now, if he wants the game team to develop a game engine, it will start with US$100 million. Otherwise, there is no way he can develop an engine that supports top game creation capabilities.
Myron Keys hesitated.
One is cutting flesh with a dull knife, making you reluctant to give up; the other is cutting off everything, which is definitely worth the money from a long-term perspective of ten or twenty years.
In the end, due to financial compromise, he continued to choose to use Unreal Engine.
However, there are differences in how different companies use Unreal Engine.
Youxing Electronic Entertainment can call all functions and database resources of Unreal Engine.
Others can only use 70 to 80% of the capabilities of Unreal Engine. If they want to go further, it cannot be done by paying more money.
In this regard, the game development team under his command is unable to do anything.
Looking at such realistic game scenes on TV, Myron Keys also sighed.
He has fully realized the gap in game development.
This really can't be achieved by simply throwing money at it.
The employee is fully engaged at this point.
The CG image of the game also moved from a distant view to a street location, and a female character in the street seemed to be praying with her eyes slightly closed.
When the camera came directly in front of the female character, Myron Keys seemed to hear the employee's slightly rapid breathing.
“Is this character a protagonist?”
Myron Keys asked.
"That's right, Alice is one of the protagonists. It's been a long time since we last seen her, Alice, and she's still such a high-definition Alice."
This employee is almost a die-hard Final Fantasy 7 fan.
I think back then, he first experienced the game Final Fantasy 7 when he was just a middle school student.
From that moment on, he was completely trapped in the world of video games.
But later on, because there are so many excellent games, there is always a time to finish them, and sometimes after playing a good enough game, it is difficult to be interested in playing those low-quality games, which leads to the current situation.
Employees are suffering from symptoms of electronic ED to some extent.
But now, he feels that his electronic ED symptoms are rapidly recovering, and he feels that he is regaining his glory!
