Chapter 45 The decision of overseas game companies

"You have all read the relevant information, now you might as well talk about your views on this phantom star engine."

Warsaw, Poland, inside the headquarters of a well-known game company.

At the ongoing core technology meeting, Mikaal, the founder of the company, pointed to the paper documents in front of everyone and asked in a deep voice.

Their company has always maintained the concept of making games with heart, and has an excellent reputation among users around the world. The new game Cyberpunk, which is currently in the production stage, is also planned to be released in two years.

According to the original plan, the company should focus entirely on this new game.

Make sure that too many bugs don't disappoint users after the official release.

The plan can't keep up with the changes.

No one thought that at this time, a stand-alone game developed by Yanguo Game Studio would suddenly become popular.

And it has aroused the enthusiasm of many overseas players.

Facing this kind of abnormal market reaction, as long as it is a game company with certain strength, I believe it will conduct a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the game to figure out the reason for its popularity.

And this naturally includes their company.

After evaluating and analyzing Godless Realm, the technicians were shocked to find that the production technology level of this game has far surpassed any of their company's high-quality games, and it uses a brand new game engine.

This aroused their strong curiosity.

I think this engine may bring the quality of the game Cyberpunk under production to a higher level.

In the end, after careful understanding, Future Technology and Magic Star Engine gradually came into the sight of their company, and they made clear the basic situation and charging standards.

After practical testing, the statistics of the Magic Star engine in all aspects are far superior to the current mainstream engines.

Thus, they are faced with a choice.

That is whether to use the magic star engine to develop their own games.

Although Mikal hopes that cyberpunk can have better quality, but due to the high charging standard of the phantom star engine, he had to hold this core meeting temporarily to make a decision.

As for why the Magic Star engine is only known to them now, it is mainly because the engine licensing market is already stable.

Who would have thought that there would be a company in Yanguo to develop a new game engine, and achieve such a great success, directly from the state where the original engine was monopolized by overseas countries to the current real engine hegemony.

In addition, well-known domestic game companies such as Penguin Wangyi jointly boycotted the Magic Star game engine, which limited the speed of popularity, so they didn't notice such a breakthrough in the game engine field until Godless Realm became popular on YouTube.

As Mikaal's voice fell, the conference room fell into a brief silence.

After touching half a cup of tea, I saw someone take the initiative to speak out their own views.

"Our new game has been partially completed. If we change the engine and remake it at this time, all the previous efforts will be in vain."

A dull voice sounded in the meeting room, and it successfully opened up everyone's chatterbox.

Immediately afterwards, someone took up the conversation and raised different opinions.

"I don't agree with this point. The detailed data of the Magic Star engine is recorded in the file. With this kind of game development efficiency, even if we overthrow it and start over, it will only make our game go online in advance."

"Although I am very reluctant to admit the achievements of this Yan Country company in the field of game engines, using this Magic Star engine can indeed make our games better."

"Other engines only charge 5.00% of the copyright fee. They actually want to charge 20.00% of the game's sales. It's too greedy."

"Just got the latest news, the Unreal Engine official suddenly announced the cancellation of copyright fees, any company or individual can use their engine to develop and produce games."

"It seems that they have realized the impact that the phantom star engine will have."

"Using the Phantom Star engine, we can not only complete the cyberpunk project in a short period of time, but also start a new game at the same time. This is definitely a good deal."

Listening to the crowd who were about to quarrel, Mikaal couldn't help frowning.

After managing the company for so many years, this was the first time I saw such a chaotic situation in the conference room, and I immediately realized that it would be difficult to reach a result if the discussion continued like this.

He simply patted the table directly, temporarily suppressing everyone's voices.

"Stop arguing."

"Starting from today, the previous progress of Cyberpunk will be abolished, and the production will be redeveloped using the phantom star engine."

In the end, Mikaal chose to make a decision directly in desperation, not only to make the game have a higher quality, but also to consider the company's future development.

The development of such a powerful game engine by Future Technology will inevitably lead to the rapid rise of the game industry in Yan Kingdom.

In the past, their games were able to run unimpeded in the Asian market because they couldn't find any opponents to beat them. But if they encountered a game of the level of Godless Realm, they would be upset and suppressed if they were not guaranteed.

At that time, other companies will use the more superior Magic Star engine to develop their own games. If they still choose the traditional engine, the game may not be sold.

Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that the current industry is not so volume, timely layout is a very correct choice.

Other game engine development companies began to make their own engines free, and wanted to resist the market encroachment of the Magic Star Engine, which is enough to explain any problems.

It is a pity that in the face of absolute technological advantages, the price war has no effect.

This is the same as mobile phones. When powerful and full-featured smart phones come out, no matter how cheap the price of button phones was before, not many people will buy them.

After all, the levels are completely different.

And with Mikaal personally confirming, the others naturally have no other objections.

Deployment begins immediately after the meeting.

When this news was spread on the Internet, while netizens were shocked, it also made the game engine development company more and more uneasy.

In just half a day, several emergency meetings were held to discuss how to ensure that the engine license market share in their hands would not be seized by the Magic Star Engine.

But once the opening is opened, it will be extremely difficult to seal it.

For example, other well-known overseas game companies, after learning that Mikaal would use the Phantom Star engine even if he did not hesitate to overthrow the project, began to move around.

But I have to say that domestic players must be the most excited about this kind of thing happening on the Internet.

Almost immediately, the news was sent back to China over the wall, and once again proud of Future Technology breaking the overseas technology monopoly and forcing overseas game companies to use domestic game engines.

It's just that this sudden situation made Penguin Onemiyou and other companies that had previously refused to use the magic star engine very angry.

In any case, I never expected that the overseas game company, which has always been arrogant, would be so active in this matter.

　It is estimated that I will withdraw from the new book list next week. While I am still trying to get a ranking, readers who still have recommended monthly tickets may wish to vote for a few. Of course, it would be better if there is a reward.
