Reboot 2003

Chapter 285 064: Awards (two in one)

Indeed, as Chen Qin said, it was no longer interesting to make that custom map, but it was not impossible if she had to do it...

After all, the reason why she has been so weird for so long this time is actually quite simple - anyway, knowing that Chen Qin is related to Galaxy Software is not a bad thing for her, but thinking about how Chen Qin led her to refuse Yahoo's platform transplant before, but later... Lure her into mobile gaming yourself.

After knowing all the truth, it is inevitable to wonder if there is any conspiracy?
But it's not a bad thing, it's just a little knot in my heart, so I deliberately 'protested' to Chen Qin in that way before, which can be regarded as a unique way of protesting in this situation.

But she still wants to continue making custom maps, so let her do it.

It just so happens that Chen Qin's plan is a little different now than it was at the beginning, and the importance of auto chess is not that important.

and so……

If she really has little interest in Qian Tuguangming's mobile game and has reason to make a custom map that seems to have little meaning, then Chen Qin, as an elder, will certainly not object to her plan.

A Yue thought she had defeated Chen Qin in her defense and was in a happy mood.

When she arrived at the studio, she still followed Chen Qin, but the frown she had been frowning for the past few days relaxed.

After meeting, Xiao Gao greeted her: "It's so early today? Do you want to learn from you again?"

The brothers were over their initial freshness, and Ah Yue was always busy with other things. Except for Xiao Gao, the other brothers sat in front of their computers after entering the door and did not speak to her.

"hey-hey!"

A Yue laughed mysteriously, Xiao Gao looked at her strangely, and watched the two of them arrive at their 'workstation'.

Turning on the computer, Chen Qin followed the pre-planned plan and logged into github to watch today's project submission backend.

When I was opening the IDE, I heard Ah Yue humming something in a low voice.

When I turned around, I saw that she had already opened the map editor of Warcraft 3, and she looked very enthusiastic for some reason...

Maybe the little girl's happiness is just that simple, but after knowing her for so long, this is indeed the first time I've seen her so happy.

She had never been so happy when she woke up and saw that Super Smash Bros. was selling so well. Now she is going back to make a meaningless custom map...

At this time, Chen Qin thought of his previous emotions again.

It stands to reason that this is not the first time, but for game developers, making a game with complex mechanics and then being recognized for its excellent gameplay may indeed be more 'orthodox'.It is like an irrational love, which may have a bleak future for veterans, but it may indeed have a different meaning for girls of this age.

So Chen Qin took another look.

Watch her open the map editor, look at the unfamiliar interface, lift up her sleeves, reveal her white little arms, and tie up her hair to prevent bangs from affecting her vision.

Then he stood up and poured a glass of water, and also poured a glass for Chen Qin. It seems that this little niece is getting more and more sensible.

Chen Qin was very pleased, as long as he was motivated.

As a result, she read the code for a while, and when she looked back, she had already started to learn to change the map!

How did you change it?

First, two trees were placed on the battlefield.

Then I put a recovery spring in, and then deleted it.

Then I opened the mounted script and looked at it, looked at it for a while and then closed the page.

Then... two more trees were placed on the battlefield.

Chen Qin smiled.

It took A Yue a while to realize his gaze, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

I quickly closed the editor and went to find the guide myself. It didn't seem like I didn't know what I should do, but why did it feel a bit unreliable?

Forget it.

Business is more important, Chen Qin continues to look at his code... As for Ayue, for a middle school student to take this path, this is a process that she must go through - for game development, being able to write code is not a necessary quality, but Being unable to write code does not mean that you do not understand programming. As Chen Qin said before, understanding the basic principles of game programs is an essential quality for designers.

In this way, on the one hand, there is no need to be fooled by programmers, and on the other hand, there is no need to sort out the technical solution from scratch because the technical personnel in the team suddenly leave.

A Yue basically doesn't understand this at all. Although she plans to start a new business on her own, without Chen Qin, a good colleague who can actually help her specify technical rules, she is sure that the remaining parts will not continue to be commercialized. Now, I can’t find an outsourcer as coolly as last time...

So now is the time for her to slowly pay off her 'technical debt'.

This time... it will take about a month.

Chen Qin looked at her looking at the screen with her big eyes like a monkey and made a rough estimate.

Can her game last that long?

Chen Qin thought like this, turned his eyes back, and took a sip of the water A Yue poured for him.

After a while, I happened to feel a little hungry. When I looked up, I saw that A Yue was no longer in front of the computer. She had just gone downstairs to bring takeout. After that, instead of eating quickly, she was playing "Relics Chaos" with someone over there. What are the brothers communicating with each other?

Have you learned it?Half-hearted…

Chen Qin was thinking like this, but after a while, someone came again.

First came A-Yue, her cousin. Because her aunt was away recently, this tall and tall cousin was acting as her guardian nearby. When he entered the door, he first looked at the brothers playing games and looked at them with disgust. Then he sat on the edge and A-Yue invited him to eat a box lunch. , he said he had already eaten it...and then it had no effect.

But Guo Yang and Song Ziyun came right after.

He didn't explain to them what was going on, but after entering the door, the two of them saw Chen Qin busy with other things, and looked at A Yue's confusing editor interface, and they immediately knew what was going on.

Then the two of them started thinking about development tools with A Yue.

Although the progress is still regrettable at first glance, if you think about it carefully, cooperation often becomes extremely difficult for games that are not commercially developed, so there are independent games where 'one person does all the work'... In fact, independent games are not They are all made by one person, but most collaborative work requires a consensus that allows everyone to sit together and work together. This consensus is usually to support the family, and most independent games do not have this condition.

But middle school students are different.

On the one hand, the academic pressure is still low, and on the other hand, there is no need to worry about livelihood.

Although technical problems always have to be solved, and making a game is not that simple, most teenagers who enter this industry for street reputation often give up at the speed of light after watching the video tutorial. If it is really just To show off, why not just go to Mr. Tony and get a nice haircut.

But the two men had worked together before, or at least experienced what it was like to work creatively in a team with strict divisions of labor.

And after all, there have been examples of 'favor contracts' before. If you don't have to worry about money everywhere, many things will indeed become much simpler.

So Chen Qin was doing his own thing, watching the three of them facing two computers, changing from one little monkey to three little monkeys. It seemed that the progress was very problematic.

And there is no guarantee of working hours - Song Ziyun seems to have improved a little bit in this year's midterm exam... In short, he just didn't do well in the exam. Considering the tens of thousands of dollars he earned from the previous 'Friends Fight', He could run out and mess around for a while, but he would have to go home soon.

Guo Yang was more free-spirited, but Ah Yue was a junior high school girl after all. Chen Qin quickly finished his own thing and wanted to take her back to school with him when he left... Ah Yue followed him back to the dormitory honestly.

But when he went home and checked Weibo, Chen Qin saw Ayue using her Kuaiwan certified account to make a serious announcement on Weibo, saying that the team's programmers were temporarily unavailable, but the remaining few people had taken over the rest of the work. , and now I am learning from scratch... As a public relations method, it seems a bit dull, but the authors of custom maps are usually amateurs, and it is common for them to interrupt updates for a year and a half in order to open up new versions of online games.In addition, netizens knew that the person behind this account was a little girl who was still in junior high school, and her standards in some aspects were indeed relatively low. When they comforted her that she didn’t have to worry, A-Yue turned around and asked netizens to recommend custom map creation strategies, and asked them again. When it comes to how to implement script mounting, she doesn't treat netizens as outsiders. As for the method, it's really good.

By the next morning, Chen Qin had already seen three people gathering nearby, discussing strategies and information that netizens had found for them...

In this case, it probably won't take a month, maybe half a month to catch up?Or if everything goes well, it will be over in about a week, Chen Qin thought at this time.

And no matter what...

In short, this little niece's rebellious period is probably over.

When the class bell rang, Song Ziyun quickly ran back to his seat, and Guo Yang also turned around quickly.

A Yue put away her phone and exhaled softly.

Then she turned around and saw Chen Qin looking at her, feeling a little embarrassed this time.

After all... she had to bother herself and had to do this useless and unprofitable project. Uncle Chen had even deliberately teased her before.

Now that I have done it myself, I realize how difficult it is, and technology is just the threshold. The revision booklets accumulated since then are so thick, how long will it take to finish them?

"Are you stupid?" She asked Chen Qin while lying on the table, "Do you think we are just like monkeys? We can't even do such a simple function well..."

It's really just a monkey...

But of course you can't say that, and it's a good thing that she's willing to learn something on her own.

Chen Qin comforted her not to worry, and gave her some advice on how to get started with scripting languages. But after hearing this, A Yue suddenly asked: "Chen Qin, you know a lot of things..."

Then he said: "You are so good, how can you go to middle school in Longshan?"

Didn't I tell you this on the first day of school, Chen Qin thought to himself.

Then Chen Qin didn't say much, just told her that you can do this if you study hard, and the little niece didn't ask any more questions, just said: "I know what you said before was for my own good, but the company After all, this is an adult's company, and now I have almost finished what I should do. Anyway, someone as powerful as you is in Longshan Middle School, so it should be fine if I continue to make this map..."

She looked at Chen Qin's expression: "You're not angry, are you?"

Chen Qin laughed at this, why didn't you say that when you and your Uncle Chen were so angry before?

But there's really nothing bad about it. "Why should I be angry? You are still young after all. It is normal to learn more." Chen Qin said.

"You're a month younger than me..." Ah Yue said, but she became serious again, "By the way, Chen Qin, does our map really have no commercial value?"

"What do you think of commercial value?" Chen Qin laughed, "Of course there is, but everything has pros and cons. Even if you set up a stall in front of the school to sell stationery, you still have commercial value, but mature large companies focus on efficiency. , if you value commercial value, then you should come and do transplantation with me.”

A Yue became depressed, but Chen Qin continued: "So now that you have reached this point, you don't have to worry about this problem anymore. Since you have to do it yourself, then just treat it as an extracurricular hobby. I told you last time As I said, you use games to deal with players. As a waiter in a Chinese restaurant, of course you must have your own purpose and then adopt the most efficient method."

A Yue nodded: "Then I will..."

"But if you don't think of yourself as a company employee, it's okay. You can just do it for fun without having to bear too much burden."

A Yue didn't seem to understand, but she still wanted to ask, but class was already in session, and Lao Qiu entered the classroom: "Where is the study committee member?"

Only then did Ah Yue remember that she was going to distribute the supporting exercises, and she quickly went to the office with Li Sitong to move the homework.

The life of the middle school students returned to normal. Afterwards, Chen Qin was thinking about making his game engine, and A Yue and the two middle school students were thinking about making their own custom maps.

We all have a bright future, but we are still on the road now.

After a few days like this, the three of them still had no results, but their learning progress was good. On the weekend, they went to the studio with their guardians in the form of GameJam and made a new map. It's not as fun as "Remnant Brawl", but to reach this point, it's almost a master's degree.

In this way, the time gradually arrived in June, and many things were happening steadily...

First of all, it is related to myself... mainly those ecological products have been completed one after another.

For example, Angry Birds has not been released yet, but Chen Qin has played the beta version himself and the quality is pretty good. However, Chen Qin previously told the development team that the main music should be more playful and the birds should be cute. a little.

But the finished product seemed to be a bit too hard, and there was something wrong. The triangular red chicken was also drawn, but I always felt that something was missing, so I had to let them change it first.

Other products at the same stage have almost been launched, and money has been spent. However, the products are a bit unsatisfactory. However, the third-party studios that have invested in them have exerted themselves and made a few that look pretty good. product, but after all, there is no copied design plan, and the upper limit does not seem to be high.

Chen Qin thought about it carefully, and the problem probably still lies with the Flash Empire.For Internet companies, people are the most important unit of work. Before Smash Empire was making games on the Web platform, most of the more capable people were sent out - for example, they were scavengers working on Happy Farm. , for example, Zhu Zhiqiang, who makes small animations, went to Dantan Tang.

Originally, there were about a hundred studios that could be used by the website. It was enough. Because of the accumulation of technology, it would definitely be more useful than just grabbing random individuals. However, after all, the top talents were used up, and the remaining ones were somewhat inferior. Satisfactory.

Then look at the overall situation - Kaitian OS has been revised for half a year, and version 2.0 has also come out. With the help of the community, performance optimization has improved a lot, and the completion speed in many places has exceeded expectations.

But at the same time, the issue of format standards has become more important. After the failure of Google's Android, they are now mainly promoting their FushsiaOS and holding the same developer competition on the other side of the ocean. The prize money is obviously not as much as that offered by Chen Qin, but the response There seem to be significantly more developers.

At the same time, in terms of hardware vendors, brands from friendly vendors that were negotiated last year have been launched one after another.

For example, Meizu, Dopod, Gree... They are new entrants in the mobile phone industry, and they probably haven't thought too much about it. However, in the current market, it is obvious that Google's independent format is more widely used, while the Java support provided by Kaitian is in a bit of a dilemma. Embarrassing, at least I don’t see any use so far.

In addition, Lenovo and BBK took the lead. In short, they followed suit step by step. Although it is now called Kaitian, it seems to use a lot of FushsiaOS settings at the code level, and they are selling well.

Chen Qin has nothing to do about this, because external competition is fierce now - Nokia feels the pressure and announced that it will make Symbian open source as it has in history. In addition, BlackBerry has deep pockets and is further spending money to promote their app store.Although I can't see any results, but what if it does.

Of course, at this time, we can't start internal strife ourselves, so we can only let them do it first.However, seeing that the smartphone market is gradually becoming clearer, who has the final say in the Kaitian camp will probably have results soon.

On June [-], the school held a fund-raising ceremony for the earthquake. On the day when the flag was raised after the end, Xiao Chen and A Yue went on stage to receive a certificate.

A month has passed since the big earthquake, and the search and rescue and follow-up resettlement are almost completed.

The result is not perfect, but it is still a lot better. On the one hand, the damage to public facilities was smaller after a wave of temporary reinforcements. On the other hand, rescue came more timely after the supplies were reserved in advance. Also, before the disaster, The fermentation of strange rumors on the Internet has indeed caused many people to go out to seek refuge.

So although donations were still raised, because there were much fewer casualties, activities such as collective mourning did not last long. People on the Internet were even paying attention to some strange things. For example, Feiren donated a local elementary school a few years ago. The earthquake was unscathed and caused a lot of discussion. In addition, strange rumors on the Internet obviously played a big role. Many academics were interested in this matter for some reason, and they also invented several social It feels a bit weird to discuss this matter using the phenomenon of learning.

Of course, Xiao Chen's appearance on stage to receive the certificate had nothing to do with this matter, but it was a computer award given to a middle school student in the province some time ago.

Longshan Middle School was lucky enough to select two people, he and A Yue.

If necessary, it is indeed necessary. After all, this thing can get extra points in the high school entrance examination.

However, when they were on the podium, the two of them were on the stage together with several other students participating in the Olympiad and art awards. For some reason, they received much more attention than the others.

Especially for Ah Yue, when she took the stage to bow, the students in the audience - especially some boys - clapped very hard.

This is probably because of previous media interviews and word of mouth in the school. The whole school knows about the fact that a girl in the first grade group made an RPG map. It is especially popular among boys who like to play video games. Attention, in a sense, is not a good thing, but Chen Qin can't stop others from asking around.

And because it involves specific business success, the principal also attaches great importance to this matter. When he spoke later, he especially praised A Yue and said that the school would support them in setting up interest groups. Chen Qin felt overwhelmed when he heard this.

Fortunately, he stepped down quickly. When he was returning to his class queue, Principal Lu, whom he hadn't seen for a while, came over and patted A-Yue on the shoulder with a smile: "A-Yue, Xiao Chen, congratulations!"

　Don't scold, don't scold, I'll update it tonight
