Chapter 391: I'm dying of laughter! How dare you bring this crappy thing to an exhibition?

Rub your hands without any support!

Yes.

As mentioned before, the role of the game engine is actually to help the game achieve architecture rendering more quickly and conveniently.

For example, if a game is a tedious math problem, then the game engine is equivalent to a calculator.

Compared to doing calculations by hand on scratch paper, the efficiency and accuracy of a calculator are of course higher.

But in fact, a calculator is not necessary to solve this math problem.

It is indeed possible to play the game with bare hands, and it is not an overly complicated task for these experienced and senior special forces of Golden Wind.

So here comes the question.

Since games can be created by hand using code without relying on engines, why do manufacturers prefer to pay hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to use engines?

efficiency.

Yes.

Because without the support of an engine, the game development efficiency is too low.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that, assuming that the development time of a 3S-level game is 3-5 months, then without the assistance of an engine, it would not be surprising that the development cycle of this game project would be extended to 3-5 years.

And this time!

As Gu Sheng proposed Wu Qing's hand-rubbing method at the conference table, the brothers in the Golden Experience naturally looked at each other in bewilderment.

Especially Jiang Yun, who looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng waved his hand to indicate that it was okay to continue:

"Brother Yun, if you have any questions, just tell me."

"Why,"

Jiang Yun and Gu Sheng were very familiar with each other, so there was no restraint between them. He nodded:

"Boss Gu, I don't have any objection to the manual game. It's not a difficult task for us to have a gold experience."

"But three months, oh no, it's less than three months,"

"After the Chinese New Year, the Cologne Games Show will open soon,"

"In such a short period of time, even if we develop a 3S-level work normally, it is still a tight schedule and heavy task for us,"

"What's more, we have no engines available now,"

"In terms of time... it's too late."

Jiang Yun shook his head.

Jiang Shan, Kailang and others below also nodded repeatedly.

Without a doubt!

Nowadays, when playing games, even those with gold experience don’t eat or drink, don’t defecate or sleep, and work non-stop 24 hours a day.

It is absolutely impossible to produce a 3S-level game before the end of February!

This problem is not something that can be solved by just everyone working hard and overtime.

It's like asking you to get from Zhongjing to the base camp of Mount Everest within ten minutes. Isn't that complete bullshit? You won't be able to do it in time even if you take a rocket!

However!

Hearing this, Gu Sheng shook his head and smiled: "We don't do 3S, who said we want to do 3S?"

ah?

As soon as these words came out!

Everybody was stunned.

You must know!

The reason why Jiang Yun and others have this worry!

It is because everyone has gradually formed a tacit consensus, that is - whenever Golden Wind participates in the four major game exhibitions, it will bring works that are definitely 3S or even beyond 3S level!

The game they brought to the first Tokyo Game Festival was the groundbreaking "Sekiro".

At the first E3 game show, they presented the sequel to the well-known IP that was a global hit, "Resident Evil 7".

At the most recent World War II Tokyo Game Festival, they launched the largest-investment, highest-quality super 3S-level masterpiece in history, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

These three works!

The investment is bigger than the other, and the quality is higher than the other!

now!

Gamescom is about to open!

Players around the world are guessing whether they will participate in the exhibition and what kind of works they will bring to the exhibition!

They don't say they'll ever make a game that matches the quality investment they made in Call of Duty.

At least, the 3S level must be guaranteed!

But now!

Mr. Gu actually said... not to do 3S?

this……

For a moment!

The difficulty on everyone's faces was even worse than before!

after all!

They are now famous!

Players, media, peers...it's no exaggeration to say that everyone in the global gaming community is watching them!

Everyone wants to see how they will deal with the downtime after leaving the support of the Dream Engine. The attention they are receiving is unprecedented!

If the quality of the works released at this time is low.

To put it nicely, it's regrettable.

To put it bluntly, it's really embarrassing.

To put it more extremely, if they try to produce a low-quality work to make up the numbers at the Cologne Games Show, they might as well just pretend to be dead and miss the show.

I believe that most media and players can understand their difficult decision.

"Ah, this ... um..."

For a while.

Everyone at the Golden Experience looked embarrassed and hesitant, wanting to persuade Mr. Gu not to act on impulse, but they were too embarrassed to open their mouths. They all turned their eyes to the leader Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun:?

Damn, you guys really have a good understanding of each other, don’t you?

Let me be the bad guy! Let me take all the blame!

A bunch of ungrateful wolves!

Jiang Yun cursed in his heart.

I eat your sister-in-law's food for free, and when there is a problem, you throw me, your eldest brother, out to take the blame!

"Um... ahem... Mr. Gu,"

Although he hated it in his heart, Jiang Yun still needed to remind Gu Sheng:

"Isn't this... a little inappropriate?"

"After all, almost the entire industry is watching us now. If we have any defects in quality at this time, it will surely have a big impact on our reputation."

After listening to Jiang Yun's words.

Then he looked at the worried expressions of the crowd.

Gu Sheng smiled.

He is such a smart man, having lived two lives and experienced so much hardship for such a long time. If he doesn't even have the ability to read people's expressions, then he has lived in vain.

moment.

Gu Sheng spoke up: "Everyone, I know you are worried, but I have a question for you -"

"What exactly does the quality of a game mean?"

Is it the picture?

Is it a physical sensation?

Is it industrial level?

Both.

It seems neither.

After a while of talking, Gu Sheng waved his hand and continued:

"Golden Experience is a veteran studio of Golden Wind. From the beginning of the Golden Wind project department to the formally established studio today, it has worked on countless games,"

"There are successful ones, and there are relatively less successful ones,"

"The first game we made together was called PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. It cost 50 million yuan, sold for 95,000 yuan, and sold 566,900 copies in a single week. We set the world on fire,"

"The cost is fifty million, guys, that's seven million dollars."

Speaking of which!

Gu Sheng paused, then asked the second question:

“What is its quality?”

As soon as these words came out!

The conference room suddenly became quiet!

Everyone seemed to have been enlightened!

yes.

A game that cost only seven million dollars.

Compared with their latest developed Call of Duty, it is like heaven and earth!

The total cost of "Call of Duty" is as high as 312 million US dollars, which is enough to develop more than 40 "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"!

But can you say that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is a low-quality game?

Of course not!

Because to this day, it is still one of the most popular online versus human shooting games in the world, and it is also the pioneer of the battle royale gameplay!

Its glory still shines today!

Its glory is irreplaceable!

Perhaps it’s the increasing investment in game after game, or perhaps it’s the increasingly higher position on the stage.

As Golden Wind gradually develops and grows, even the veteran team of Golden Experience led by Jiang Yun cannot avoid falling into the vicious circle of "the higher the industrial quality, the higher the game quality".

But in fact.

The quality and success of a game.

It doesn't just depend on the industrial .

at this point.

They actually got the answer when they first participated in the Tokyo Game Festival.

At that time, Konami's "Tori-Gi" had a higher investment than theirs and its industrial quality was even better.

But the result.

But he was still defeated by "Sekiro"!

"So..."

Seeing everyone suddenly realize, Gu Sheng also smiled and said earnestly:

"Time-limited manual games will certainly lead to low quality of our industry,"

"But I believe that as long as our game is good enough, even pixelated people can -"

“Stun the world.”

Talking!

Then Gu Sheng picked up the remote control in front of him.

Press the laser projector behind you!

Suddenly, a concept poster appeared on the projection screen.

This is a world made up of pixel blocks, just like it is built with building blocks.

A square-headed man in a sky blue shirt is holding a pixelated iron pickaxe, and next to him is a girl in a linen green short-sleeved shirt holding a pixelated iron sword.

Surrounded by green mountains and lush cypresses, a crudely painted cube dog follows behind them, and the cube chicken and cube pig are abstract yet clear at a glance.

And behind them.

In the dark mine, a green-skinned zombie was lurking in the shadows with his hands stretched out.

On the concept poster, the game title in both Chinese and English looks like it was carved out of stone.

…

"Mine...Creaft...?"

Minecraft

Looking at the poster just released by the official Twitter account of Golden Wind, Yunwei President Codick, who was originally full of worry and anger, couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic smile at this moment.

Not that he meant to do that.

But I really can't hold it anymore.

Indeed!

The performance of "EuroTruck" at the Europa Expo was almost a crushing victory over "Burning Wheels", which they had high hopes for!

This made Kodick very angry!

After all, this was his carefully planned forced takeover offensive against Nuyan!

It can be said that as long as Nuyan can't hold out and returns empty-handed at the Europa Expo, then Yunwei can create momentum to attack Nuyan and, in conjunction with the news of Huanmeng's price adjustment that is now all over the city, drive down Nuyan's stock price.

Then use Vivendi's power to launch a strong takeover of them!

In this way, even if he could not instantly control the majority of Nuyan’s shares, he could become their largest shareholder and forcibly initiate a takeover.

However, it can also erode their voice and vitality, and then slowly erode them, so mergers and acquisitions will not be a problem.

But!

All of this was ruined by Golden Wind's unconventional film "Oka"!

With the popularity of "Swan Song", the copyright-free pre-order bonus, and the unique and unprecedented relaxing game mode!

With the help of the Golden Wind, Fury killed his way through this year's Europa Exhibition with an attitude of 'you fell down before I even started to exert any strength'!

It even blew away the pre-sale results of all previous racing games, and with a racing game that is not that fast, it sat on the throne of the king of racing games in the world!

When he heard the news, Kodick was so angry that he almost flew out of his seat.

Golden wind!

It’s the golden wind again!

This company is not only invulnerable to swords and bullets but also a piece of iron.

Now, as they grow stronger, they have begun to provide protection and security to their sister companies in China!

From Yiyu to Xun Teng, and now to Nuyan!

It looks like it is the leader in the Chinese gaming industry!

We absolutely cannot let them continue to develop like this, otherwise, it will become increasingly difficult to deal with in the future!

However!

Just when Codick was still thinking about where to start, and cooperating with Huanmeng who was about to officially announce the price adjustment, he would further attack Golden Wind!

Today's official tweet really gave Codick a big surprise!

【Golden Wind V: See you in Cologne! 】

Golden Wind’s tweet only consists of a short sentence!

But it gave Kodick endless surprises!

See you in Cologne!

what does that mean?

This means that Golden Wind will participate in the Cologne Game Show at the end of February next year, even if it has no engine available and can only rely on hard work to create the game!

What made Kodick laugh even more was -

“Hahahahaha! Just based on such a sloppy game? Huh? Hahahahahaha—”

Kotick is going crazy with laughter!

Take a look!

What the fuck is this garbage!

Cube trees, cube grass, cube pigs and cube chickens!

Even the fucking characters are square!

That’s it, and it’s also a fucking sensory cabin game!

Kotick almost cried with laughter:

"Genius! What a bunch of extremely talented idiots!"

“They actually want players to play as a Lego-like cube man in the game! Hahahahahahaha——!”

It's simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!
