Chapter 324 Crazy, an old game that unexpectedly became popular

The Honghuang virtual platform is officially open!

When receiving this news, countless game manufacturers were shocked.

For more than half a year, they have been watching Honghuang's platform grow rapidly, waiting for it to be fully settled after it is opened.

now.

Finally this opportunity came.

Naturally, they didn't want to waste time, so they all gathered in the production team anxiously.

"Quickly, start the final testing work and prepare to upload the game. How are you familiar with the Unreal Engine?"

“I’m basically familiar with it now, and we can start full-scale work once the equipment is ready!”

Virtual Engine.

It is a game engine developed long ago by Chen Lin based on virtual technology.

Like the commonly used Unreal Engine, it is specially used to make games, but it is a virtual game.

Chen Lin has applied for a patent for this engine.

And it only requires a very low usage fee from those manufacturers.

But there is a contract.

Games made by the Prehistoric Virtual Engine can only be released on the Prehistoric platform, which also eliminates the possibility of making wedding dresses for others.

this time.

Manufacturers are here for this engine.

Purchase equipment and become familiar with the production process.

Those who are progressing quickly have basically mastered it and can make some smaller games.

Especially those 3D games that have a modeling foundation are much easier to convert into virtual games, which was also their initial goal.

"Boss, Penguin has recently said that it will launch new equipment within two years. We use the Unreal Engine. Are we not going to consider it?"

Within the production team, an employee couldn't help but ask.

Games produced by the Honghuang Virtual Engine cannot be uploaded to other virtual platforms. This restriction does not matter now, but it will be uncertain after that.

"Do you believe Penguin's lies? Who in our industry has not skipped the vote? He said it will be done in two years, can it be done in two years?"

"That's it, let's show the real thing first and then talk about it. I can do it just by talking about it."

"Besides, no other company has made a virtual engine yet. Just use it first and then replace it later."

Generally, large-scale game manufacturers will basically have their own game engines.

But now that the virtual industry is just starting to take off, the engine that comes with the Honghuang platform has naturally become their best choice.

Wait until the technology matures in the future.

It’s not too late to develop an engine that suits you.

So soon.

On the prehistoric platform, a large number of games began to pour in.

The homepage of "Sword Art Online", which was originally a solitary game, has become more colorful, with many more category pages and lists, as well as many new functions.

It makes players who have just woken up and come online excited.

"Come on, come on, the new game is here!"

"It just so happens that the Sword Land Development Team has a break today. Let's take a look at what other types of games are like."

in the live room.

Ouyang Xiao went online early and put on his helmet to log in to the platform.

What surprised her was that after entering the platform this time, the familiar web-based list disappeared and was replaced by her character in "Sword Art Online", standing in an empty hall.

In all directions, digital screens floated, displaying large cover images of various games.

Just click on it.

Some will also play a game video and a detailed text introduction, so you can tell at a glance what type of game it is.
"So many games have been uploaded on the first day. I wonder if there are any more casual ones."

Ouyang Xiao looked troubled and murmured in a low voice.

As if in response to her words.

The screen in front of me suddenly "swished" and switched to the casual game list. There were already more than a dozen games uploaded.

"I'll go, so smart?"

"It can actually recognize speech and automatically filter and classify it."

“The sense of technology comes right away.”

"Honghuang is far ahead!"

"Can I ask if there is a game like that?"

"A friend of mine also asked me to ask this."

The changes in platform operation made the viewers in the live broadcast room couldn't help but be surprised.

It's a high-end experience of watching movies in a private theater.

"Huh? "Bomb Hall" has also been ported to the virtual version?"

Suddenly, Ouyang Xiao's eyes were fixed on one of the games, his eyes shining brightly.

She had played this game for a while before, and it was definitely a top-notch casual game. Unexpectedly, it was immediately transplanted to the virtual version.

Observing carefully, she found that many games were ported from PC and console, and she had played them all, so she was a little surprised.

"Platform porting is indeed the fastest way. Let's try this "Bomb Hall" first."

Ouyang Xiao said, directly purchase the game and click to open it.

Swish!
The lists around him quickly receded.

It turned into a game hall.

Ouyang Xiao lowered his head and found that he only had two short legs and chubby hands left. The whole character became cute and he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, this game is so interesting. It moves weirdly, like wearing a puppet suit."

Familiar pictures and familiar characters, but from the third perspective to the first perspective, not to mention it really has an alternative flavor.

in laughter.

She immediately entered the room and started fighting.

As expected, it appeared on a map full of squares and placed bombs by "farting" to kill other players.

It was obviously a gameplay that had been out of date for many years, but after being transplanted into a virtual port, it unexpectedly became interesting.

Other players who had just entered the room were also yelling and fighting among the blocks. They laughed so much that their stomachs hurt and they couldn't stop at all.

The last person can't have enough fun.

He immediately called his friends and joined the game.

Obviously they are all in their twenties, but they are still playing more crazily than the other, and it feels like they are regaining the happiness of childhood.

This also caused.

An old, low-cost game that was originally just used to test the waters suddenly became popular again, setting off a wave of nostalgia on the Internet.

..."It's popular, our game is popular!"

"Director, come and see!"

In Watson Game Company.

An excited voice sounded.

The man in charge of the "Bomb Hall" project hurried from a distance with a puzzled look on his face.

But when he saw the sales of "Bomb Hall" on the first day it was launched on the prehistoric virtual world, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

"10...10!? 10 copies sold in one day??"

Not to mention him, even the employees responsible for backend data had their mouths wide open at this time, as if they had seen a ghost.

To know their game.

The total sales volume is only 10,000+.

It’s still a result that has been on the shelves for several years.

But now, the time in a day has actually doubled. It is simply outrageous to open the door for his mother. It is outrageous!
Click on the live broadcast platform to take a look.

There are indeed many anchors broadcasting their games.

"Is the virtual game so powerful?"

The director stayed there for a long time before finally holding back a sentence.

What followed was endless ecstasy.

"Quick! Inform the production team and hurry up to update new content. We are about to take off!"

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Notify the boss and summon all senior executives.

Because he found that they still underestimated the potential of virtual platforms.

What kind of new platform is this? It’s just a cash cow!

Still the kind that will drop gold!
Not to mention other manufacturers.

Seeing that an old game like "Bomb Hall" from many years ago could become so popular, my eyes suddenly turned red.

Why do you care so much?

We hurriedly held a meeting to set up a project, moved out all the old casual games, and transplanted them to the prehistoric platform.

The rapidly increasing number of games made Lao Li, who had been observing the background data, speechless.

"Are these guys crazy? Why are they trying to throw all kinds of games at us?"

Just stuff it as hard as you can.

Some simply don’t even bother to change the game description.

"Actually, it's understandable. Even I didn't expect that these old games would perform so well. They can just be used to promote the platform and attract more manufacturers."

Lao Song stood aside with his arms folded, a little surprised.

And according to statistics, the ones with the best response are those casual games, the kind that can be played by many people together.

"How about... we also make a new game?" Lao Li suggested.

More than half a year has passed since the virtual technology was announced. They are basically busy working on the platform and cannot get away from it at all.

Now that it has finally stabilized, I am naturally very excited about the huge traffic and want to make one myself.

"It's possible, but we have to transplant "Yu-Gi-Oh!" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" first to make them interoperable across all platforms."

"This is simple. We started preparations at dawn last year and it should be completed soon."

One of these two games has ready-made images, and the other has small content, so they are both easier to port to the virtual version.

As for the others.

Because the content is too large, the difficulty of porting it is not much worse than making a new game, and there is no way to start construction yet.

We can only wait until more manpower is available in the future.

"Okay, when Mr. Chen comes back, I will discuss it with him and see what the next step should be."

Lao Song said and turned around to leave and go do other things.

And this time.

On the street a few kilometers away.

Chen Lin, who had just gone to the Juhard Branch to talk to Tang Jun, was sitting in the car returning to the studio with a thoughtful look on his face.

During this trip, he found a total of four pieces of information.

First, Juhard plans to complete divestment of the host market within two years and will continue to operate, but it will not invest too many resources in the virtual industry.

Secondly, Penguin has shares in both Nintendo and Sony. If it develops a virtual device, it may share it to expand overseas markets.

Third, the CMA in England is showing signs of relenting and seems to be meeting to discuss the introduction of virtual equipment.

Fourth, countries on the other side of the ocean are preparing to restrict the outflow of chips and semiconductors to slow down their expansion.

The four pieces of news can be said to be mixed.

But one thing that is certain is that all parties have not yet made a decisive move, because they still need to rely on the influx of ancient equipment to promote the development of the virtual industry.

of course.

All of this is based on the fact that they have not yet developed the equipment.

Speaking of the field of chip semiconductors, foreign technological capabilities are indeed much ahead of domestic ones. It is only a matter of time before some principles can be disassembled from the virtual helmet.

The only difference is how much it is disassembled and how realistic it can be.

To sum it up is.

The technical capabilities and cutting-edge equipment are sufficient, but what is lacking is only the core information.

In other words.

He still has at least a few years to develop.

This is good news for him.

"Boss, we are coming to the company building soon."

Qin Meng, who was in charge of driving, suddenly spoke.

"Well, I understand, just drive directly into the underground parking lot."

Chen Lin looked through the car window at the gradually becoming familiar streets around him.

Then he thought of something and suddenly asked: "Old Qin, how much do you know about the domestic chip and semiconductor industry?"

"Chip and semiconductor, that is a cutting-edge technology industry, which ordinary people like us can't understand." Qin Meng said while driving seriously.

"But I heard that since our studio developed virtual equipment, many places have invested in research and development and purchased equipment. The development is indeed much faster than before."

"Is there such a thing?" Chen Lin asked in surprise.

"No, we ordinary people don't know much, but we know that you can't do anything without money. In the past, no one invested in chips and semiconductors. Of course, they were in recession. Now that there is more investment, isn't it like a boom?"

The words are very straightforward, yet easy to understand.

While talking, the car had left the street, drove into the underground parking lot, and parked firmly in the parking space.
