Chapter 241 Developing Games

Although Bai Zirui is far behind Li Chaoren at this time, he is confident that he will catch up and surpass him in 3 to 5 years.During this week, besides paying attention to the opening of the new store in Central, Bai Zirui also rushed to Dingtian Technology Company in Kwun Tong, Kowloon to guide Liu Weitao and others in developing the Great Wall Cube.

Under his guidance, Liu Weitao and others worked tirelessly, and finally developed a simple version of the Great Wall of Tetris in a week. Bai Zirui tried it out and fixed several bugs. It is basically the same as the Tetris of later generations. Only then nodded in satisfaction, the rest is to ask the soundtrack teacher to make the soundtrack, and Meitu teacher to do the art rendering.

Bai Zirui arranged for He Chunqiong to find the most advanced recording studio and art teacher to complete the final work of the game.He Chunqiong found an unremarkable recording studio located on Nanjing Street in Jordan. This studio called Legend, although it was just established is very simple, but the equipment inside is the most advanced in the 80s, and it is more than enough to record the background music of a small game.

After He Chunqiong found a recording studio, he came to Xiangjiang University to find the juniors and juniors from the art department, and asked them to design beautiful pictures for the game according to Bai Zirui's request.

It took Bai Zirui half a day to record several classic background music of Tetris in his previous life, and record the background music of Great Wall Tetris produced by him, and he asked lawyer He Yaodi to apply for the copyright.

Bai Zirui brought a recorded piece of music back to Dingtian Technology Company, and He Chunqiong also just returned to the company with a beautiful picture.When the background music was perfectly integrated with the Great Wall Cube game, Liu Weitao and others were very excited after seeing the effect of the game. This is the first game they developed.

Bai Zirui brought a blank computer motherboard, recorded two more games, and asked people to assemble two arcade machines to install the Great Wall Cube game, and brought the two arcade machines to Chunxi Jingyuan.

In fact, in Bai Zirui's opinion, Tetris is not very suitable for arcade games. It does not have exciting fighting, nor does it have hot and colorful graphics.In his previous life, Bai Zirui had never seen Tetris in an arcade, but it was everywhere on mobile phones and online mini game sites.

But now it is 80, which has just entered the 1981s, and the players in the arcade hall have not yet accepted the baptism of classic games such as Street Fighter, Boxing King, and Tiger Fighter.

"Space Invaders", "Little Bee", "Pac-Man", "Donkey Kong", etc., the rough graphics of these games can fascinate gamers at this time.

The simple graphics of Tetris are not comparable to arcade games 20 years later, but they are still comparable to arcade games in 1981.

Its classic level has stood the test of time, and it has been selected as one of the most classic games of the [-]th century in various selections by later generations.It is said that it also has a very embarrassing record - the game that caused the player to spend the longest time in jail, which shows how obsessed humans are with him.

Therefore, after repeated thinking and analysis by Bai Zirui, it is completely feasible to transplant Tetris to arcade machines in this era.The reason why Bai Zirui chose Tetris for the first game club developed was mainly because Dingtian Technology Company had only three or two game R&D talents, and no professional game talents.

This is caused by the educational environment in Hong Kong.Xiangjiang’s education has always focused on literature and not theory, so Xiangjiang has no outstanding talents in science and engineering. After the rise of the game industry, Xiangjiang did not develop the game industry and was called a desert land for game research and development by Westerners, which made Xiangjiang not like other Asian tigers. The layout and development of the electronic technology industry has missed the best opportunity for the upgrading of the technology industry.

Bai Zirui wants to build Xiangjiang and the mainland into his stable rear, so that Xiangjiang will not miss the best opportunity for the rise of the electronic technology industry like in his previous life, and develop real estate and finance as the pillar industries of Xiangjiang like in later generations. people are miserable.

It is not that Bai Zirui has not considered other classic games, such as Nintendo's Super Mario.But the development of these games cannot be completed by the grass-roots team of the R&D department of Dingtian Technology Company. In addition to software and hardware issues, the design of characters and screens must be completed by professional game R&D talents. It is not that he can dabble at this time. Only after the successful release of the Tetris game, which was renamed Great Wall Tetris, can the company become famous before recruiting professional game designers from Japan, Europe and the United States.

When Bai Zirui led someone to put the two arcade machines in his and He Yuzhu's rooms respectively, Lou Xiaoe said in amazement: "Zirui, why did you spend money on such expensive things? As far as I know, this arcade machine is not cheap. More than 13 Hong Kong dollars!"

He Yuzhu said in surprise: "Ah! This kind of machine is so expensive! Zirui, you bought such an expensive thing for He Xiao, it would be a pity if he accidentally broke it!"

Bai Zirui smiled and said, "Brother, this is something made by our own company. It doesn't cost money. Let my nephew just play with peace of mind. If the machine breaks down, I'll send him a new one."

He Yuzhu suddenly realized and said: "Ah! Not long after we came to Xiangjiang, you asked Wen Hao to help you pay attention to the electronics factory. Could it be that this is the product produced by the electronics factory you bought?"

Bai Zirui nodded and explained: "Sister Jingli, didn't you wonder why I always disappeared when I was renovating the Central store a while ago? I was busy investigating the purchase of factories in those few days.

Now that the first game developed by the company has been successful, I had someone assemble two of them and ship them here for everyone to try and play, and give me more opinions. "

He Xiao asked enthusiastically: "Uncle, what games are installed in the arcade machines produced by your company? Are there any popular "Space Invaders", "Little Bee", "Pac-Man" and "Pac-Man" on the market? How many games are "Donkey Kong"?"

It is not difficult to hear from his words that he usually plays these arcade games with his classmates.Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Lou Xiaoe opened her almond eyes and said angrily: "Okay! He Xiao, I paid you to study in the nobles, but you went to play games, and see how I deal with you!"

He Xiao immediately explained anxiously: "Mum, listen to me! My classmates have all played these games. If I haven't played them, I won't have a common word when I play with them. It doesn't affect your studies!"

Lou Xiao'e said angrily, "Okay! You've paid attention to you when you're playing games."

Lou Xiaoe picked up the fly swatter next to her while talking, and was about to give He Xiao a hard lesson. Seeing this posture, He Xiao quickly ran to He Yuzhu's side and asked for help, "Daddy, help me!"

He Yuzhu hated iron and said: "Little bastard, you should study hard in school at your age. Whoever asked you to play games, you should play!"

He Xiao saw that his father and mother who loved him usually had nowhere to ask for help. He turned his eyes and saw Bai Zirui who was smiling and watching the theater next to him. In order to avoid the pain of flesh and blood, he hurried to him for help .
