Chapter 110: Genius, I found a treasure!
The project plan has been finalized.
All aspects of the company are also in full swing.
In terms of project costs, Gu Sheng was spoiled by bosses like Shen Miaomiao, who always said, 'The more, the better'.
It is said that it is not easy to learn well, but it is easy to learn badly.
From the very beginning, he was surprised by Shen Miaomiao's wealth and frantically increased the capital budget.
After that, I became accustomed to crazy increases in cost budgets.
Nowadays, without waiting for the boss to ask for money, he takes the initiative to ask for money, and he is not satisfied with his desires.
If you don’t understand Tu Dashi, understand Tu Dashi and become Tu Dashi.
Three steps that seemed like a long journey, but it only took Gu Sheng just one and a half years.
Even now, Shen Miaomiao, who has always been extravagant, was a little frightened when she saw Gu Sheng extending his hand.
It’s not that she is afraid that the company will lose all its money, it’s mainly that she seems to be increasingly unable to meet Gu Sheng’s cost needs.
However, this situation will not last long.
After TTF successfully loses money, you will have money.
At that time, we can regain the glory of the rich woman in the past, and we can reach eight or nine digits with the wave of our hands.
In order to achieve this goal, Shen Miaomiao also tried her best to cooperate with Gu Sheng, cater to Gu Sheng, satisfy Gu Sheng, and work hard to squeeze out the golden wind in this investment.
Fortunately, the PUBG project is now in full swing, popular all over the country, and the income is stable and considerable.
The final cost of the project is even higher than their previous budget, at 170 million. The estimated price is 198 yuan per unit, and the development cycle is estimated to be five to six months.
On the day when the project was officially launched, Shen Miaomiao hugged her fifty and was happy for a long time.
“Fifty, fifty, we will make a fortune this time...”
Shen Miaomiao simply smiled from ear to ear:
“The cost is 170 million, even if we plan according to the worst case scenario, let Lao Gu earn 100 million back,”
“Then there are still 70 million left that cannot be repaid,”
“Seventy million, ten times is seven hundred million,”
“Tsk tsk…”
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao felt relieved.
Once upon a time, I was still a weakling who was fighting for a small treasury worth 10 million yuan.
Just a few months have passed.
My own vision has improved seventy times, and I have already begun to focus on the project with a rebate of 700 million.
Sure enough!
A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.
Although PUBG has made money.
However, it also laid the economic foundation for her to suffer even greater losses now!
"Believe me!"
After a long time, Shen Miao was so happy that she placed the fifty pieces neatly on the desk again and patted them:
“This time, we will win!”
…
The beginning of winter.
It is suitable for traveling, getting married, going to work, breaking ground for construction, and erecting beams and columns.
Funds are in place and the Titanfall project has officially started.
The first thing to do when starting work is neither to start the program, nor to start composition and modeling, nor even to create a new folder.
Rather—
“Now Mr. Ou has replaced the cameras on the entire floor with facial recognition,”
In the project department, everyone surrounded Gu Sheng, the backbone, and everyone was worried:
“How can we work overtime?”
actually!
This time around, they have plenty of time for the project, and they no longer need to work overtime like they did with PUBG.
But the problem is, when it comes to work, especially if it’s a job you love, you definitely can’t get too stuck when you get off work.
But the camera’s face recognition doesn’t care about you.
As long as you are still in the company from 17:00 to 9:00 a.m., even if you leave even one minute late, it will be considered overtime.
At that time, the snack coins will be gone.
You need to know!
Today, in the wind of gold, snack coins are the main currency circulating within the company!
This thing can be used for more than just catching dolls.
Ask your colleagues to bring you milk tea, smoke packs of cigarettes, or even trade fruits after meals. You can use snack coins!
Yes.
Shen Miaomiao's outrageous anti-overtime mechanism has finally worked, and everyone can't live without snack coins now.
I am not willing to give up the snack money, but I cannot guarantee that I will not work overtime for even one minute.
So, how to get snack coins and work overtime at the same time became the first question for the Titanfall project team.
Let’s brainstorm ideas!
Some people said they hacked the camera, some said they unplugged the camera, and some people got inspiration from the movie and wanted to post photos in front of the camera.
Finally!
After a series of heated discussions!
Everyone unanimously agreed on the director’s good idea—
Change the angle of the camera a little higher.
High-end hacking methods are often presented in the simplest way.
that's all!
The biggest problem that troubled the project team was solved.
The work rhythm is back on track.
The reciprocating action group group has been activated again.
And Shen Miaomiao's Porsche also frequently appeared in the group again.
The project quickly got on track.
The seriousness of everyone’s work attitude is even more serious than that of previous PUBG projects.
And Gu Sheng also moved out of his office again and spent all day in the project department—
“…Hey, that’s right, this is the effect we want.”
Gu Sheng crossed his legs and held a cigarette in his mouth. He looked at the level scene modeling renderings sent by the art team and nodded repeatedly.
I saw in the renderings that there were mountains in the distance and towering peaks reaching into the clouds.
Among the mountains, a group of huge signal towers stand, with mottled metallic luster, exuding a thick and cold steel atmosphere against the setting sun.
Between the signal towers, steel cable lines are crisscrossed.
The huge signal tower and the mountain clouds and mist contrast with each other, creating a wonderful and shocking scene.
【My analysis results show that throwing is the only way】
The cold and extremely reliable voice of BT sounded in Gu Sheng's mind.
When the game is finished, I will personally experience what it feels like to be thrown out by you.
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng couldn't help but smile and raised his thumb towards the river next to him:
“As expected of our art director, he is precise, efficient and awesome.”
"Well…"
Hearing Gu Sheng’s praise, Dajiang grinned sheepishly:
“Actually...this...is also thanks to our Junior Sister Jiang.”
"Why-"
Gu Sheng hurriedly made a stop gesture:
“Don’t be ours, people have never called me Senior Brother, and I’m not their idol, so don’t use me as a supporter.”
As soon as you say this!
Ojiang’s face turned red!
“Ah no…”
But the words are not finished yet!
The sound of footsteps was heard, and Jiang Shan walked over with brisk steps.
First he nodded and said hello to Gu Sheng: "Director Gu."
Then he said to Dajiang softly: "Um...senior brother, I have a question that I don't quite understand. Do you have time?"
Gu Sheng’s skin is getting goosebumps!
Hurry and kick off the swivel chair under Ojiang’s butt.
Let’s go!
“Hey? Hey?”
Ojiang exclaimed and flew away in his chair.
Gu Sheng smiled and waved.
Stay away from me. You brothers and sisters, please go away and get tired.
This way.
Having just kicked away the river, the land came again.
“Lao Gu, I won’t waste your time, just two questions.”
"speak."
“The first thing is, the setting of [Cause and Effect] is really awesome, let me brag about it.”
"Then?"
“The second thing is that Kailang and I have been studying it for two **** hours, and we haven’t figured out how to achieve seamless switching.”
…”
Gu Sheng knew that what Lu Bian was talking about was when the game entered the middle stage, when the protagonist got the new time travel equipment.
In this level full of creativity, the protagonist will master the ability to travel through time.
ˆBy switching between different timelines in the same scene, you can avoid battles and solve puzzles to pass the level.
This level is designed very delicately, which is refreshing.
It’s well known!
Every game will go through the graphics loading process when switching to a map, which is inevitable.
Such frequent map switching will inevitably increase the rendering load of the game screen, leading to a decrease in graphics quality and even screen tearing.
Lu Bian knows that if you want to achieve stunning effects in this level, you must ensure that the player has a perfect picture after switching the timeline.
“The performance of Yiyu x2 is not that great, and it cannot reach the frame-level rendering speed,”
Lu Bian said:
“Such crazy cutting of the map will inevitably cause the graphics to not load in time. The best we can do is to ensure that the screen does not tear,”
"Do you have any good ideas?" Gu Sheng thought for a while:
“Cut the map and the graphics will not load in time, so why don’t we just not cut the map?”
Lu Bian was stunned:
“Brother, do you know what you are talking about?”
The theme of this level is to jump repeatedly between the two level maps. You say we don’t cut the map?
What can we do without cutting the map? Is it possible to really allow players to travel through time?
With that kind of technology, how can we still make a Hammer game?
Seeing that Lu Bian didn't understand, Gu Sheng took out a cigarette, put it into Lu Bian's mouth, and lit it for him:
“Think about how we use the camera?”
Camera?
Lu Bian didn’t understand what Gu Sheng meant.
In order to avoid being caught working overtime, they raised the camera angle?
In this way, the camera will not be able to capture their facial recognition.
But this has nothing to do with the scene...
Wait a minute? !
“Fuck!”
Lu Bian seemed to suddenly understand what Gu Sheng meant:
“Z axis???”
Gu Sheng shrugged: “High-end optimization methods are often presented in the simplest way.”
“That’s awesome! Damn it! It’s awesome!” Lu Bian exclaimed repeatedly!
He completely understood Gu Sheng’s solution—
As Gu Sheng said, since switching between the two maps requires rendering time, then we will combine the original two maps.
Divide the two scenes of "past" and "present" into upper and lower floors and place them together on a map, just like a two-story building.
After that, by moving the Z-axis of the main perspective, the effect of time switching is presented.
In this way, when the player walks into this two-story building, the scenes on the first and second floors have actually been loaded simultaneously.
The final effect is that the player presses the time travel watch.
bang!
I will throw it to the second floor for you. This switching speed is extremely fast and it is impossible to detect it with the naked eye.
You press the watch again.
bang!
I will put you back on the first floor.
In this way, no matter how the player switches, he is actually jumping up and down in a map, and there will be no graphics loading delay at all, let alone screen tearing.
“Awesome, awesome, awesome…”
Lu Bian was so convinced that he kicked the ground and rolled away like a big river.
However, it didn’t take half a minute for the land to roll away.
Jiang Yun came over again: "Director Gu, can we make some changes to this place..."
“Brother Sheng…”
Gululu—
"lead…"
Gululu—
“Look here…”
The swivel chair slides in the project department.
For a time, the huge project department turned into a curling field, and everyone seemed to be paralyzed, sliding around in the middle of the field.
The progress of the project is also advancing by leaps and bounds in this rolling process.
…
Here, the development of Titanfall is in full swing.
On the other side, media players from all walks of life are also very curious about the Golden Wind project called TTF and are discussing it a lot.
Yes, this time Gu Sheng did not choose to completely block the project, but only asked employees to sign a technical information confidentiality agreement.
Because he really needs to keep the project hot and let more water help them publicize it for free.
After all, 170 million is still a bit insufficient for this project.
This money is basically enough for them to carry out the development work of the main body of the project, and the publicity and distribution expenses account for almost nothing.
So, Gu Sheng cannot keep the game completely secret.
He needs to use the gimmick of "mecha game" to arouse market discussion and attract the attention of the media and players.
Facts prove it.
His plan worked very well.
Since the establishment of the TTF project, various media speculations and reports have continued one after another—
Informed sources revealed that the **** game being developed by Golden Wind is actually a mecha game? 》
Look for a new path or give up on yourself? 》
“A well-known game reviewer said that the theme choice of Golden Wind is the biggest disaster in history”
Silent Counterattack? Is Golden Wind’s selection of materials a silent protest against art games? 》
Fall or continue to shine? Rational analysis of the theme of this new work of Golden Wind—"
Reports came one after another.
From the vast majority of negative voices, it can be seen that the status of mecha games in the game genre is indeed very embarrassing.
Occasionally, there are a few media without singing, and they just look at the golden wind, and look at Gu Sheng's face, and then feel mercy.
“There really isn’t even a platform for mecha games...”
In the office, Shen Miaomiao slid the mouse and flipped through the reports about them, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise.
Look through the comments below—
‘This type is too outrageous. Has Brother Sheng lost his mind? ’
‘This is no longer abstract. The **** game is made into a mecha game. This is simply performance art’
‘It’s normal if it’s too bad. If you take on three old heavyweight FPS manufacturers, I’d be too bad’
‘You kid, you can always come up with something new for me (Yunfei face)’
‘Don’t be so pessimistic. No one was optimistic about horror games before. Isn’t the fear of ghosts still spreading? ’
‘Comparing mecha games to horror games? Even if you don’t like horror games, you can’t scold them so harshly, right? ’
‘Hahahahahahaha…’
'Indeed, horror games also had their heyday before the phobia. Works such as "Midnight", "Evil" and "Horror Mansion" were also number one at that time. It was only because everyone was tired of being scared that they gradually stopped working. of'
‘If you put it this way...it seems that there are no good works at all in mecha games...'
‘It’s just a painting theme’
‘Balance is a big problem in this type of game, and it’s easy to enter sage mode after you get over it’
‘If the Golden Wind is not playing tricks, it must be doing scientific research’
'indeed…'
Genius, you found a treasure!
Reading through the comments, the smile on Shen Miaomiao's face became brighter and brighter, her big eyes were shining brightly, emitting the light of gold coins.
Gu Chengcheng will not deceive me, and the project team will not deceive me!
This game type is simply the abandonment of abandonment, the failure of failure.
Looks like I can finally—
…
“Sit back and relax! Hahahahaha…”
at the same time.
Shenzhou, Xunteng Technology Headquarters, Office of the Deputy General Manager.
Ding Kai sat opposite Chen Guangde, general manager of Xunteng Technology, clasped his hands and laughed, then handed over his mobile phone.
“Mecha game, this is really... tsk tsk tsk,”
Ding Kai shook his head and sneered:
“This golden wind is really urgent and requires medical treatment,”
“I feel that I have succeeded in finding new ways many times before, and it has become more and more popular, and I dare to get into this type of game,”
“I don’t know whether they are overconfident or too anxious.”
Hearing this, Chen Guangde, who was opposite him, was also smiling.
Although he is not as arrogant and arrogant as Ding Kai, he still looks like he has a chance to win.
After all, both of them have been working in the game industry for many years.
No one knows better than them what the weather vane is in the circle.
Mecha games, this genre has been outdated for a long time... Oh no, it's not even outdated, because it has never been popular at all...
If you want to stir up some waves, your power will reach the sky.
not to mention!
Golden Wind’s investment this time is only 200 million.
Originally, one versus three was an impossible task, but now I have added a pair of shackles to myself.
“It seems that Yiyou has really negotiated with Golden Wind this time to ask Tian Ji to race horses, and Golden Wind simply let himself go..."
Chen Guangde smiled slightly and shook his head.
"well!"
Speaking of this, Ding Kai seems to be a little regretful:
“It’s a pity that Golden Wind was timid and came up with such a game theme that neither father nor mother loves,”
“I originally wanted to avenge my shame and humiliate Golden Wind to the ground, but now it seems...”
“Drink tea, drink tea,”
Before Ding Kai could finish speaking, Chen Guangde interrupted him and pushed the small cup over:
“Let’s not talk about the regrets. The most important thing is to focus on the present.”
Chen Guangde had a smile on his face and a lot of confidence in his heart.
Okay, you're about to stop bragging. Before, 100 million people and 10 million people beat the ground like a **** melon. How can you still lick your face and talk nonsense?
Aren't you the one who was pushed to the ground by the second-generation FPS of Golden Wind and blasted with a hammer?
Why did the scar heal so quickly? I forgot about the pain.
This time, the reason why we are sure of winning is because the Golden Wind is not large enough and the cost is limited.
The second reason is because we are three against one.
If you can't win this fight, the three of you should go out and fan yourself to cool down, and I will turn around and dig out Gu Sheng.
To avenge previous shame…
Hurry up and drink your **** tea.
Humbling in his heart, Chen Guangde picked up the teacup and took a slow sip.
Nowadays, the weather is getting colder and colder, but it is still very comfortable to drink a sip of hot tea.
Putting down the teacup and flipping through the calendar, Chen Guangde nodded.
Wait until this new year is over.
The battle is about to officially begin.
