Reborn Game Pioneer

Chapter 276 Technical difficulties, strong foreign aid
Throughout November, the development progress of "Heroes of Fire" was mainly reflected in the collection of real materials.

After collecting these materials, and after repeated meetings and discussions lasting up to a week, a relatively complete version of the main plot line was finally determined.

For these plots, the specific details must go through repeated consideration and polishing, which is mainly the work of the copywriter.

As for art, according to Kao Feng’s requirements, art modeling must be as realistic as possible. Whether it is character modeling or scene modeling, the character cannot look like a brick man or a silicone man, with flames, smoke, and explosions. The thing needs to be made so that players know it is a special effect, but they still subconsciously mistake it for the real thing.

In addition, the character's movements must not be so stiff that they look like zombies.

As for the sound effects, in addition to striving for realism in all sound effects, the now mature smell simulation technology, temperature simulation technology, and pain simulation technology must also be put to good use, allowing players to experience burning fire, pungent smoke, and difficulty breathing. , burn pain and other tastes, the pain level can be controlled, but it must be there.

Although when I was thinking about it, I expected that it would not be too simple to implement these things, but when I actually started to do it, sudden problems continued to cause trouble to the project team.

In fact, all of these ideas can be done and realized, but it is still the problem that Gu Feng was worried about before. The people who started out are too young. Except for a few people who have some experience in VR game development in the previous company, most people and Gu Feng have no experience in VR game development. Like Feng, this is the first time I have come into contact with the production of VR games.

In fact, let alone original intentions, there is currently no VR game in China that excels in art, sound effects, and smells.Pain and other aspects have reached the level expected by Gu Feng. There are such VR games, but they are all abroad, and even abroad, there are very few game companies that can achieve this level.

Gu Feng is also very helpless. Judging from the work results in early December, there are really many pitfalls in VR. At least 12% of these pitfalls were not considered in the planning stage. Every time a pit is encountered, everyone will There is no particularly good way. Basically, we just rely on the stupidest way, reading books or searching information on the Internet to find solutions. This kind of response is undoubtedly inefficient and unreliable, even if the problem is temporarily solved in this way. , and no one dared to pat their chests and say whether there would be hidden dangers.

And after entering December, the second WCS audition has officially started. Although after a year, with the successful experience of the first WCS, the domestic experience in organizing events has become more and more abundant. Event management and professional games The management of the club is also becoming more and more mature, but as the organizer, the original intention must be allocated some energy. By January, the eyes of the whole world will once again focus on this No. 12 e-sports event. In a major event, even the higher-ups would not be able to make way for "Heroes of Fire".

It can only be said that it is still a little early to develop VR games at this stage.

But with the arrow on the string, it was impossible for Gu Feng to retreat.

If we continue to develop in the current state, not only the delivery date is difficult to predict, but even the final delivery quality is worrying.

Under such pressure, Gu Feng had no choice but to seek help from his superiors. He was also very straightforward and honest with the reasons given by his superiors. He bluntly said that Chuxin was currently encountering some technical difficulties and hoped that the superiors could mobilize a few technical experts in VR. Be supportive.

The superiors seemed to attach great importance to this matter. After listening to Gu Feng's request, they agreed without saying a word. Within three days, a total of seven technical experts were dispatched.

The background of these seven people is not simple. Two of them are a man and a woman. The man is in his early thirties and the woman looks about 25 years old. Although both of them were wearing casual clothes at the time of reporting, their breasts were not visible when they stood. With their backs straight, like two strong pine trees, and their eyes as sharp as swords, you can tell that they are tigers at heart. They are all from the military!

There is another person with sparse hair and a slightly hunched back. He was wearing a white coat when he came. He is Academician Xu Jianguo from Huaxia University of Science and Technology who is responsible for teaching VR image information processing. He is 68 years old this year. The person above was originally looking for him. He was a student, but after learning about this, Academician Xu volunteered and brought two students with him.

The last two, one is an expert who has successfully participated in the improvement of cinema smell simulation technology, and the other is a postdoctoral fellow who has published more than ten influential papers in the field of tactile simulation.

Even Gu Feng did not expect that the superiors would pay such great attention to this matter. What he didn’t know was that the country actually attached great importance to the research of VR technology. From the perspective of the superiors, VR has considerable capabilities whether it is for military or civilian use. With considerable prospects, under such a trend, "Heroes of Fire" came at the right time, and it happened to become a pilot project disguised as a game.

Sending these seven people here, in addition to providing technical assistance to the original intention, may not be a rare opportunity for these seven people, an opportunity to put technology into practice.

Gu Feng did not expect this, but he knew that for Chu Xin, this was an excellent opportunity to learn on the spot and quickly improve the skills of his employees, so when he held a welcome meeting for the seven people, he repeatedly told the employees to follow others Watch and study carefully, and if you have any questions that you don’t understand, just ask them directly while there are experts around you who can help answer them.

Throughout mid-to-late December, the development work of "Heroes of Fire" finally became smooth again. Even if we encountered any problems again, they were quickly solved with the help of foreign aid bosses.

The employees' technology has improved rapidly during this period, making Gu Feng smile from ear to ear every day.

The work of the seven bosses during this period is also very comfortable and enjoyable. The energetic working atmosphere makes everyone full of energy every day. Although the teammates are slightly lacking in skills, fortunately they are all young people who are very easy to get along with. They are interesting and Smart and eager to learn, this is probably what impressed Chuxin employees the most on them.

At the same time, Chuxin’s logistics made them extremely comfortable. Notebooks, pens, water bottles, power strips and other small necessities for work and life were all available. The configuration and running speed of office computers made them instantly hate going to their own school. , The old buddy in the unit who seems to crash at any moment.

When they are tired from work, the pretty girl at the front desk downstairs will prepare hot coffee or tea for them.

Even on weekends, Chuanxin always has various voluntary activities to participate in, such as hiking on green trails, outdoor cycling, or playing mahjong. But what they find most interesting is a game called Werewolf. According to employees, This is an offline game invented by Gu Feng, the boss of their company.

Even the eldest academician Xu Jianguo participated in two hiking activities under the persuasion and encouragement of several young girls. After three weeks, when he talked on the phone with his wife and son at home, they all said that he looked much younger and more energetic.

For them, although this business trip with political missions is indeed for work, it is inexplicably more like a rare healing trip for relaxation.

Life and work are so enjoyable that even those who think they are very enlightened feel the feeling of being happy and not thinking about their daily lives.

　Some people may think that the author here is trying to make fun of himself. Let me explain. Chuxin’s current technical capabilities are relatively mature in mobile games and PCs. Even the console lacks experience, not technology. Using this state-supported Charity games can allow Chuxin's VR technology to be improved reasonably and quickly. This is much more reasonable than waiting for the building to be repaired and directly recruiting hundreds of people in one sentence. The main technical force of a company must be composed of old employees. Really Recruiting hundreds of people with VR technology or work experience, if you want to implement it and actually make a game, it will definitely take a long time, so in order to advance the growth process of this technology, we have this game.

　　It’s definitely not too long. The game content will be finished in two or three chapters at most, and then console games, such as League of Legends, will be released one after another.
