Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

After getting on the phone, what surprised Chen Xu even more was that the caller turned out to be the head of the Magic City Game Department who had met several times before.

"Minister Yang, what's the matter?" Chen Xu asked curiously straight to the topic.

"Well, there is indeed a big thing. Have you read the previous news? Overseas Micro Valley Technology announced that a new generation of VR game warehouse equipment has made a major breakthrough, allowing players to have a more immersive experience." On the phone Yang Chen said.

"Look." Chen Xu said.

Regarding this, Chen Xu also saw the industry news that Lin Rou collected every day.

However, Chen Xu didn't care too much at that time.

The reason is very simple. According to the current data, this immersive mode requires players to be fully immersed in the game and must be highly focused, which also allows players to receive massive amounts of information. Compared with ordinary PC games, VR The game consumes more energy.

As for the subconsciousness like SAO in the previous life, that is, the black technology of the spiritual network that allows players to enter deep sleep, it is obviously still not achieved in the parallel world.

And the price of the VR game cabin itself is lower than when it first came out, but it is not affordable for most players.

The mainstream VR game warehouse is basically around 50,000 yuan, which is much more expensive than a PC that can run mainstream masterpieces smoothly.

As for higher-level VR gear, that's not to mention.

Therefore, more players still play games in VR experience stores similar to Internet cafes.

All these factors have led to the fact that the share of VR has not surpassed the PC platform.

Then there is the cost of game development, and the cost of VR is generally higher than that of PC.

In addition to the top big manufacturers that launch corresponding special VR games every year, even if some second-tier game manufacturers launch VR games, they basically test the waters on the PC platform first, and then transplant the VR version after achieving excellent results.

Because of this, Chen Xu put the main experience of Nebula Games on the PC platform.

"As for China, our new generation of VR game warehouse equipment has also entered the stage of a beta version."

"It's just that there are no games that can be tested. At the same time, because of the new generation of VR game warehouses, players will have a stronger sense of immersion, so multi-faceted testing is also required in terms of safety. After all, some games may be nothing on the PC platform.

The immersive experience on the VR platform will bring players a special sense of excitement. "

"Of course, there are some things on the phone that you can't explain clearly. You can log in to the backstage of the game department's official website to see the letters sent. If you are interested, you can come to the game department tomorrow afternoon." Yang Chen said to Chen Xu.

Although the specific content is still unclear, after listening to Yang Chen's words, Chen Xu basically has a spectrum in his heart.

Obviously, this is a contest that belongs to the cutting-edge technology of the platform.

For the game department, the VR equipment obviously has a different meaning.

Just like the previous host.

In the early years, when Nintendo rose to dominate after the collapse of Atari, all practitioners in the game industry had to look at Nintendo's face, and the power money system was a product of that time.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xu went to the official website of the game department, and after reading it, he basically had some numbers in his heart.

Basically as he thought.

The conference hall of the game department building on the second day.

Chen Xu was a little surprised because there were quite a few designers present.

Tenghua, NetDragon, and some other domestic game makers are basically the top ones.

Among them, Chen Xu also saw some old acquaintances, such as the good teacher Meng.

"Mr. Meng, are you here too?" Chen Xu went over to greet him.

Meng Zuo, who was chatting with people over there, heard the voice, turned his head and saw Chen Xu walking towards him with a smile on his face, and the scene of him holding someone else's trophy that night appeared in his mind again, showing a trace of embarrassment. But with a polite smile: "Mr. Chen is here too."

However, Chen Xu didn't have a long time. On the stage in the conference room, Yang Chen from the game department came on stage.

"Everyone is a top player in the game industry. The purpose of calling everyone here this time is actually very simple."

"The new generation of VR game equipment has entered the stage of a beta version."

"At the same time, for the new generation of VR devices, the game engine on the development machine has also been specially adapted, and a new physics engine architecture has been opened."

Following Yang Chen's words, the designers, including Chen Xu, basically understood what the game department meant by calling game designers this time.

In short, there is a new advancement in the engine of VR equipment.

But there is still some way to go to the market, but the overseas side is about the same as their progress, but they have already begun to promote it.

Naturally, the domestic side cannot lag behind, but the relevant settings are lacking relevant game materials as a test.

Of course it will not be a complete game, similar to the game experience DEMO, and it is not without benefits.

First of all, there is a special subsidy from the game department, and the intellectual property produced is also owned by the designers and manufacturers. In short, the game department pays for you to do it, and there are a lot of subsidies. Of course, the quality must pass the test. Yes, and the game department will also follow up the progress in real time.

Of course, the designers who can be invited are basically above the middle class in the domestic industry, and no one is really stupid enough to do this kind of thing like cheating subsidies.

Secondly, if you participate in the test, there is another advantage that the new technology will not be immediately promoted to all designers for free, and the designers participating in this operation will have priority to obtain the corresponding permissions.

Designers who did not participate, then as before, will only be able to pay for excess resources or permissions.

After Yang Chen's brief introduction.

Next, a group of designers, led by the game department, took vehicles to the scientific research park of the game department.

Under the leadership of the staff, I personally experienced the corresponding effect.

When it was Chen Xu's turn, after entering the game warehouse, he was in an environment similar to a rough room.

At the same time, Chen Xu also understood the meaning of Yang Chen's words before.

He has also experienced the VR game warehouse in the parallel world before, although the sense of immersion is very strong.

But there are still some flaws.

And the overall feedback of the new generation of VR game warehouse is perfect.

Wearing somatosensory feedback clothing and gloves, sleeping in the game compartment, you can get a very real sense of feedback for your actions.

Walking, jumping, and throwing fists, Chen Xu tried to do a few movements, although it felt that there were still some differences from reality.

But quite perfect.

"The immersion brought by the interaction of VR equipment in this parallel world has reached this level!" Chen Xu also sighed when he exited the game warehouse.

However, it is also clear that there are problems to be faced.

The most direct point is the negative effect of excessive immersion.

Taking "Dark Soul" as an example, if it is made into a VR game, it will be at the level that Chen Xu just experienced.

Most of the players can't play, not because of difficulty, but because of immersion.

Think of the rats in the sewers, the spooky scenes of the underground prison, not to mention some horror games!

After experiencing all the designers on site, Yang Chen also told everyone about related matters.

To put it simply, if the designers present are interested, they can make a DEMO game for the game department to test, and then modify it based on the feedback for the immersion of the game room.

Because the immersion is too strong, and to make some places less strong.

It sounds a bit funny, but after the actual experience, Chen Xu can understand the meaning of these words.

When it comes to the corresponding registration link, except for some game designers who really have projects at hand, they are really inseparable.

Counting Chen Xu, thirteen designers stayed at the scene, including Meng Zuo.

"Mr. Chen, are you going to participate in the demo production of the game department this time?" Looking at Chen Xu who was lining up with him, Meng Zuo next to him was a little curious.

After all, the news about the sequel to "Dark Soul" on the Internet was abuzz. Shouldn't Chen Xu be in full swing to develop "Dark Soul"?

How can you make do with the task of the game department?

Could it be that the development progress of "Dark Soul" is so fast that Chen Xu no longer needs to control it?

If you think about it, it doesn't seem impossible.

After all, it's just the foundation of the sequel, and it is almost a default thing in the game circle, that is, the sequel can reuse a lot of art resources, which greatly saves the development progress.

Not knowing that Meng Zuo's brain started to make up again, Chen Xu smiled: "I'm curious, and this is my first time making a VR game, and I also have some interesting ideas."

This is indeed true. Given such an opportunity, Chen Xu really wanted to give it a try.

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Meng Zuo's eyes lit up immediately: "Actually, the design of VR games is not much different from PC games, the most important thing is the difference in operation mode, and the surprise brought by the camera lens, although it is common VR games are all based on the first person, but for some specific games and links, the third person is more suitable, such as visual effects-based action.”

"Then Mr. Meng, we can exchange our experience with each other later. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Chen Xu looked at Meng Zuo who was enthusiastic, and couldn't help but sighed with emotion, Mr. Meng is really a good person!

"Of course." Meng Zuo smiled very happily. The first time he was defeated, he was stole the limelight at the second exhibition, and the third game of the year was in stark contrast to his failure to win a trophy, and this time He was finally getting his way.

Since he is called Teacher Meng, this time he will really be a teacher!

"By the way, President Chen, do you have any ideas for a new game?" Meng Zuo asked.

"I have an idea, the name of the new PT game." Chen Xu nodded with a smile.

"PT? What does this mean? It seems a little weird." Meng Zuo was a little curious.

"The acronym of Teaser, after all, this demo is also a kind of playable trailer, and you can add a prefix, it's called 'Silent Hill PT'." Chen Xu said with a smile.

"Silent Hill PT, it feels quite meaningful, then Mr. Chen and we will be communicating in detail!" Meng Zuo laughed.

"Definitely." Chen Xu nodded in response.
