Please make money.

The two parties hit it off immediately, and with the support of massive amounts of small amounts of money, the research and development time of the FOX engine was reduced from more than three years to the current six months.

After hearing the member's name, Alia touched her chin and asked if the other party had also been working on game engines before.

Kojima was right. The other party had just completed a game engine called Luminous, and was then recruited by him.

Apparently, the plan to save the world had been proposed by another team of scientists seven hours ago.

Plans to seize the industry's first-mover advantage don't always have to wait until Alia comes to fish.

Luminous——SE's engine, the finished product is the famous Final Fantasy.

Aaliyah remembered who this guy was, he was indeed amazing.

Even before Alia traveled through time, Bandai Namco had approached him for a new game engine. He was definitely a big name in the industry.

But don't worry, from the perspective of game developers, the choice of game engine is very important.

In terms of the luminous effect, the FOX is probably about the same.

What can really impress game producers is how many good games of the same type have been developed using this engine.

If Yeguang continues to produce masterpieces after completion, and the engine has accumulated enough peripheral tools and mature workflows, other games will consider using it.

But the fact is that even on the earth, the luminous engine was also pulled.

Originally, SE planned to use night light in multiple games, but in the end, only FFXV used night light, and it was even difficult to launch.

The reason is actually the same. It is difficult to start sharing without developing a complete game first.

Only after XV experiments and continuously improves related technologies can we be sure that they are usable and can be shared. Otherwise, there may be many problems.

The same is true for the FOX engine. Historically, after the completion of MGS Ground Zeroes, Pro Evolution Soccer adopted FOX for development, and then MGS TPP.

Therefore, SE plans to complete the development of XV first, and then summarize the relevant experience before using it for the development of other games.

As a result, FFXIV was redone. It took a total of ten years from the project launch to its difficult birth, and both projects that used luminous materials were not satisfactory.

Aaliya says sorry SE, you are short of money and can’t afford our own luminous engine, but I am not short of money.

She would just say to step up efforts and let everyone use the FOX engine vigorously!

The reason why Unreal Engine is so famous is not because it is the strongest, but because it is cheap.

It is cheap so there are many users. The more users there are, the faster the iteration. As the technology keeps up, it becomes more mature, easy to use and economical.

The last person to use this trick was a certain unspeakable Windows system, which had a bunch of bugs but was still trying to gain market share first...

Aaliya says it’s great, you have done great, if you don’t make a name for yourself, you will become a sensation!

"Do you know Ai Rulin?"

"Airu—who is that?"

"It's okay, my uncle." Alia patted Xiaodao's shoulder: "The styles are very similar, more or less the same, but it should be pure coincidence."

It's just a game engine, and it's not as meritorious as Uncle San's silent contribution in getting armed guards for Alia.

Hideo Kojima explained that he actually wanted to finish the engine first and then make the game, but he thought he had to give Alia some explanation.

It just so happened that Arya needed it, so he took it out, hoping that Arya could use it.

What could Alia say?

She could only pull the other party aside and say, "Let's talk about the equity dividends of the gaming platform. Whatever I have, you will have a share!"

But you have to develop a mobile game engine for me. I want to use it at the next Worldwide Developers Conference at the latest.

The leading mobile game engine on Earth is Unity. Who would have thought that this thing was developed by Apple?

Alia was ready to grab the cake, pumping hard and not giving the other side any chance to turn the tables.

Hideo Kojima said I don’t understand mobile games, and Alia said I don’t understand either. Let me sign a check for you and you can go back and think about it slowly.

Xiaodao said that I could do some cross-field research, and I am very confident in this area of ​​study.

Alia said, "That's right, I like your rebellious side - you can also study cloud gaming technology."

Hideo Kojima finally went back with three checks, one for him, another for him, and the third for the programmer team.

Especially that big bull, Alia told her to treat him well and live happily together with him.

Kojima said that this was actually said by someone else, the SE president, and they all had dinner together when he sent the other party over.

The other party's original words were that Xiaodao must take good care of Julien.

At first, Alia sighed that the other person was a good person, but when she asked his name, she spat on the spot.

Is there a dumber CEO in the fucking world than Bob Kotick?

The answer is yes! SE's president, Yoichi Wada! He is determined to bring the company down!

Of course, SE's board of directors is also a group of people of the same kind. Alia made a note in her little notebook to collect their bodies later.

Although SE is not good, FF is not bad. The 3D area cannot lose Tifa, just like the West cannot lose Jerusalem.

"The big ship of the new era cannot accommodate the remnants of the old era."

Alia made a bold statement, sent the island away, and paced back and forth in high spirits.

Very good, the game platform is on the agenda, and the first game engine is also available. We can consider open source or low-cost licensing in the future.

"LeLe, stop eating snacks, let's go out and eat."

“…With whom?”

“Of course it’s the client—Masayoshi Son!”

"Ah? Miss, aren't you planning on not cooperating with him?"

"Yeah, so I'm going to have dinner with him!"

"???"

351-It's bad! They are in the same group!

Alia was eating with Masayoshi Son, and Anlele was fighting with snacks.

Sega is poaching talent, Kojima is poaching talent—everyone has busy work and a bright future.

To be honest, Alia had no intention of having a heart-to-heart talk with Masayoshi Son.

She had dinner with the other party simply to show off to the other two families.

But after getting to know him, she found that Old Sun was indeed a good person...

"No matter what business I start, I won't do the gaming business. It's too chaotic!"

Alia acted like the boss of the Crocodile Gang, with an attitude of "I can't make a movie no matter what I do", very arrogant and cool.

Old Sun nodded, but felt that what Alia said was a bit biased.

He took a bite of food and said, "How can the market development be called chaotic? Is there any logic behind this?"

"The concept of e-sports has already been introduced before the FC was even released. Is this reasonable?"

Son Masayoshi looked bewildered: "This is - unreasonable?"

"Of course it's not reasonable! What is e-sports? It's a keyboard pianist! A Zaun family hero!"

Masayoshi Son asked if it is possible that arcade games can also be e-sports.

And their development came out much earlier than your FC.

Although the popularity of space wars has long passed, you can't say that they are not competitive enough, right?

What? There were e-sports games before FC came out?

Call it Arcade? Call it Space Wars?

Alia touched her chin and thought that this was true.

She then asked, what about the Atari crash?

After the Atari crash, online games came out. Is this appropriate?

Lao Sun said there was nothing inappropriate about this - when the two-player version of Space Wars was first released, there wasn't even Atari!

Alia said you can’t get over the space war, right!

But he was right...

Whether here or in the Earth world line, Atari was not even born before the first game that could be connected remotely online was released...

On the other side of the earth, Atari was born in 72.

As early as three years ago, Rick Bromie wrote a game for the PLATO system.

This game is based on the first computer game "Spacewar" born at MIT. The difference is that it supports two people to connect remotely.

So it turns out that entertainment is the primary driving force. Humans at this time have been delayed in the entertainment industry for so long that they urgently need to reflect.

As for the fact that Warcraft and EVE came out right after the Atari crash, there is actually nothing to worry about.

After all, the first version of Warcraft appeared just a few years after the Atari crash.

Then came Conquest II and Conquest III two years later. Judging from the development time, it is very likely that World of Warcraft was also launched at about the same time.

This counterintuitive progress, like the gap between the FC red and white console and the World of Warcraft online game, is a true reflection of Moore's Law.

When IBM boss Watson said that the world only needed five computers, who could have imagined that sixty years later, the world would have 65 billion computers?

In the 80s, Gates even dared to say that no one's computer could run with a full 637KB of memory, and 640KB was enough for everyone.

The result is that now I am worried about using up all the memory when I open an unspeakable wallpaper software...

Let me see what humans were doing with computers back then!

Wow! Breaking military codes! Aerospace! Landing on the moon!

What about now? Wow—so big and white—good people will have a peaceful life!

The reason why Masayoshi Son knows so much about games is that he started his business by making games.

He skipped a grade and went to Berkeley at the age of 16 to study economics.

While others studied economics, he studied business - selling electronic games imported from his hometown.

As a result, he made one million in one year, and then used the school's resources to sell patents to Sharp, a company in his hometown, and made another million.

This guy is a natural born businessman, and more importantly, he has a real vision and understands everything.

Aaliya tells him about capital and four-day work week.

Masayoshi Son laughed and said that competitors would rather your employees not go to work.

"Real capitalists would rather their competitors' employees not work 24 hours a day and consume every day, while their own employees work 24 hours a day and do not get paid."

"I think so too, but aren't other friendly merchants afraid of me?"

"Why are you afraid?"

"I use premiums to recruit talent, and others don't have talent to use!"

"Ms. Ai, there are 1.5 billion people in Donghuang. How many talents can you recruit?"

"That makes sense! It makes a lot of sense - then if I win the heart of a high-end talent, how will you deal with it?"

"Then I will go after the sinking market. And Miss Ai, you have to know that betrayal is sometimes just because the bid is high enough. You have to be careful!"

Ailia slapped her thigh, overjoyed, and clinked glasses with the other party: "I like people like Mr. Sun! Straightforward!"

As she spoke, Alia put down her wine glass, looked at the other person, and smiled: "Then Mr. Sun, what are you afraid of?"

For a moment, Son even wanted to look back to see if there was any thunder.

After a moment's silence, he said that as a friendly competitor, the only thing he could not accept was being squeezed out of the market by Alia.

You can't say that your product is better than mine, has higher quality and a lower price. That's not reasonable.

"And if that happens, I really won't make any money, and I'll die."

But on the other hand, everyone has something to compete for, and if you are paid higher, it only means that your costs will be higher and you will earn less.

This is equivalent to Alia using her own money to provide benefits to her employees. What other opinions does this competitor have other than laughing at her stupidity?

Of course, to a certain extent, this will indeed affect the competition between the two sides.
