Chapter 49 Game Engine

 But before he could realize his "lofty ideals", there was a very big problem before him: Chenxing Technology was not a game company at all. It had no experience in making games, no professional talents, and no professional game engine.

.

Everything from software to hardware.

There is also considerable pressure on funding.

Feige’s profit points are only 10 yuan a month membership and 30% skin commission.

Most of the people who are interested in these are young people, and most of them are college students, which means that the number of paying people only accounts for a small part of the huge number of users.

Although the game's profit exceeded 30 million in one month after its launch, due to compensation issues, Chenxing Technology currently does not have much actual funds available.

However, in Lin Muchen’s underlying design, Feige was not originally a profit-oriented software.

After all, whose building makes money by selling foundations!?

Its main role at this stage, in addition to fixing a large number of user groups for Chenxing Technology, is to provide start-up funds for game research and development.

Although there will inevitably be many early adopters in the first month, judging from the data, the revenue in the second month should not be much worse.

So the most important thing now is the game.

Lin Muchen must choose a suitable game. It shouldn't be too difficult to make, but because it is used to build a reputation, it must also be "fun".

This first excludes online games. After all, they don’t even have an operation team now, so it is impossible to operate online games well.

The only options available are stand-alone games, and due to financial problems, we can only choose low-cost stand-alone games.

In the previous life, there were many stand-alone games that were popular and well-known, but they did not meet the taste of players in this world, and Lin Muchen was not sure.

At this time, the importance of the subject matter is reflected.

Lin Muchen was sitting on the sofa, dragging his chin with his palm, and suddenly an idea flashed.

"In a world where war has been eradicated, making a war-themed game... I wonder what the effect will be?"

......

Lin Muchen still underestimated the impact of that list, and also ignored how delicious he was in the eyes of others as the youngest member of the "Top 100 Club".

Originally, on New Year's Day, besides having dinner with his family, he planned to spend the rest of the time writing plans for new games. But in addition to the continuous greetings and congratulations from his friends on Feige, there were also many game companies who didn't know

Where did I get his phone number? Under the guise of sending blessings, I secretly asked him if he was interested in working in their company.

Among them, Hushi Technology is the worst. He actually used four different numbers and hired him to work in their company with a high salary.

This scene is exactly the same as when "Gun Fighting Heroes" was launched and became a hit.

In the end, Lin Muchen was so annoyed that he chose the same method as last time: pulling out the phone card.

If you can, make the phone card ring!

Lin Muchen finally calmed down and wrote a rough game design plan as quickly as possible, including game style, gameplay, etc.

On the next day, Lin Muchen drove, first sent Lin Muching back to school, and asked her to prepare for the final exam the next two days, and then brought Xiao Shiying to the company.

The latter summoned all members of the company and announced the news of Lin Muchen's appointment.

The crowd burst into applause.

Although Xiao Shiying did not explicitly state Lin Muchen's position, everyone knew in their hearts that he would be the future leader of Chenxing Technology.

It can even be said that it is now, but in name the company is still in Xiao Shiying's hands.

Some of them don't play games, but everyone knows how outstanding the boss's son is. Anyone who looks at the series of revenue data will be secretly shocked.

What's more, the design concept and many elements of Feige were created by Lin Muchen.

Let this young man lead them forward, and no one will be dissatisfied.

They even vaguely hope that Lin Muchen can lead them to a more glorious tomorrow.

Lin Muchen coughed lightly and said: "Everyone may have guessed that starting from today, Chenxing Technology may slowly transform into the gaming industry, and the establishment of departments within the company will gradually be in line with gaming companies."

Everyone nodded.

This is understandable. After all, Lin Muchen has performed very well in the game industry and must develop in a field he is familiar with.

However, transformation is not without cost. In order to adapt to the new industry, the veterans of these companies must make hundreds of times more efforts to learn and make progress.

For this group of people whose average age is in their forties, accepting and learning new things is definitely countless times more difficult than when they were young.

But what Lin Muchen said next surprised them.

"Considering that you are indeed young and older, if you are forced to transform, you may not have a good experience. Therefore, I will recruit relevant talents in the game industry from outside me, and uncles and aunts can choose to join or continue.

Stay in your original position."

Facing the puzzled looks from around him, Lin Muchen smiled and said: "The company not only needs game production talents, but also some technical personnel to provide support for game production."

"The latest task of these positions is to create a [game engine] that belongs to us in the shortest possible time."

"Game engine?" Jian Guang repeated subconsciously.

The game engine is the most important tool for game development. Unlike the Unreal Engine in the previous life, which was open to all developers for free use, game companies in this world protect their own game engines to an outrageous degree.

Not to mention renting it, you can’t even take a look at it.

Therefore, if Chenxing Technology wants to enter this field without being restricted by other companies, it must master the game engine technology with all intellectual property rights.

However, for those working in the non-game industry, game engines are a very unfamiliar field.

"I understand what you mean, but I need time to look up the information, at least to understand the principles of the game engine, otherwise we will not understand anything, and the things we make will probably be messy."

Lin Muchen nodded, thought about it again, and simply dragged over a whiteboard: "That's it for now. Why don't I give you a brief introduction? But after all, I am not a professional technician, so I can only give you a metaphor."<

/p>

"If we compare games to cars, then making games is equivalent to a car assembly line."

"Making a car requires outer shell, tires, steering wheel, engine, etc. If we just use manual labor to make these parts one by one and assemble them together one by one, it will be very troublesome."

"The function of the assembly line is to help us automatically produce these parts and then automatically assemble them together."

"Similarly, making a game requires a variety of modules, such as input modules, calculation modules, output modules, image modules, audio modules, etc. If we make a game every time, we need to make these modules again

, the efficiency will be very low."

"The game engine integrates all the modules, so we only need to set up the corresponding graphics, audio, and formulas on the engine. It will be automatically integrated according to our needs, simplifying our development process."

Most of the people here are people who have been deeply involved in technology for many years. Lin Muchen just explained it briefly, and they could imagine it and even estimate the amount of code before and after using the engine.

Jian Guang suddenly realized: "I understand, a game engine is an 'assembly line' that can increase the efficiency of game development... But it sounds simple, but it may be very difficult to do, right?"

Lin Muchen shrugged: "I don't understand technology, so I can't answer this question. But everything is difficult at the beginning, and no matter how difficult it is, we have to make it happen."
