Chapter 87: It's Not Don't Do It
"Why do you want me to make this game in "Heart of Players"?" Takahashi asked.
"We...we are all readers of your novel...many of us have appeared in your novels. We think that since we are a video game company, why not make "Player Heart" into a game?"
"That's right..." Takahashi thought as he touched the ground with his stubble that had grown.
You should know that although Wanhu’s current scale is not small, it is necessary to vigorously ensure its success in the development of any game.
For example, if "The Heart of Players" is really adapted into a game, it can even be said to be a realistic game.
If it is a realistic game, there are many problems to be dealt with.
For example...
The reputation issues of other competitors.
Take Nintendo's terrible appearance in the video game industry, if you say a bad thing about Nintendo in the game, you probably will be able to fight the lawsuit until the end of the day.
The same is true for the rest of the companies, and video games are different from novels.
You should know that there are not as many people who can read novels as they imagined. Although they are unwilling to admit it, even after decades of education, there are still some people who do not have the ability to read.
They cannot immerse themselves in the world of books, but prefer other ways of entertainment that are less brain-free and just passively accepting.
In addition, the novel is cheap, Takahashi can write a day's update by himself in one or two hours a day.
As for the game, if the scale of a large game, the core team alone will require about 100 people. The remaining supporting personnel will probably not be less than 1,000 people. The investment in technical costs will be even greater.
A game produced at such a high cost cannot be as irrelevant as a novel.
Large-scale publicity is not allowed, and this publicity will be hostile to manufacturers that are not fully displayed in the game.
Even if you change the company name and the appearance of all related products in the game may not be able to solve this problem.
Takahashi glanced at the old employee who had worked in Wanhu for ten years. Perhaps they didn't realize these problems at all.
"The game is not impossible to do, but there are some small problems that may need to be solved." Takahashi said, "For example, in the game, not only will there be tens of thousands of households, but other companies will also appear. Most of the time these other companies are our competitors. In this way, their image will definitely not be particularly good.
So how should we deal with these companies?
Should we use other names instead, or…”
Takahashi looked at the old employee.
When the old employee heard this, he was also confused.
To be honest, although they discussed a lot, they didn't even think about such a simple and simple matter.
It's not their fault, because they have never had any experience in making realistic games before.
Moreover, the old employee in front of me is not from the game production department at all.
"I don't object to you want me to make "Player Heart", but there are still many difficulties to overcome. I think we don't have a good way to go to customer service in a short period of time.
after all……
We are now competing or hostile with many manufacturers.
It is not easy to make competitors understand us.
So... I think this game can be done, but it will take a long time.
One day later, the other electronic game manufacturers no longer have the idea of competing against us.
What would we look like then?
It will probably unify this game world."
Takahashi said these words in a very stable tone. There was no expression of overly excited on his face, but it was particularly persuasive.
The person in front of him was obviously convinced. He was already a middle-aged man, but he scratched his head like a primary school student and said, "I understand... President..."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave, but when he was about to reach the stairs, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Takahashi who was still at the door and said, "President! Remember to give me a role!"
"Okay." Takahashi replied.
"The display technology we are using is still very primitive, and the future development trend is definitely not the current rasterization. When the computing power is not sufficient, we can already see various disadvantages of rasterization. So I suggest that we should vigorously, no, and fully develop ray tracing technology!"
The young researcher stood on the stage and said passionately.
The people sitting below, from the young who had just graduated to the old man with white hair, were all there.
Young people agree with the statement of this equally young researcher. From the renderings, it can be seen that ray tracing has an absolute advantage.
Since this technology is so big, there is no need or reason not to use and develop this technology.
However, the old rasterization technology should naturally be completely abandoned.
but……
From a realistic perspective, this is not the case.
"I object." An old researcher stood up and said, "our current technical reserves are all aimed at rasterization routes. Now we have no ability to produce practical computing modules that use ray tracing technology.
Do we have to break our arms?"
"Where did you break your arms? It is because of your complacency that we encounter such problems. As long as we work hard, we will definitely achieve success."
"Young man, I ask you, have you really designed chips? Or have you been playing with universal boards all the time?"
"I...I..." The young man didn't know if he was poked into the pain or what, his face suddenly turned red.
The old researcher spoke again at this time, "You said we are old antiques and we are old guys, but in fact we also know that the ray tracing technology is indeed excellent and is the future development direction.
But you have to eat rice in one bite, and you have to walk step by step.
Where is the best thing in the world that can be done in one step?
If I could really get it in one step, I wouldn’t be so old that I really saw that the Chinese chip industry could take off.
Young man, do you understand?"
The young men who were originally unhappy, heard the old researcher's words and fell silent one by one.
In fact, they did not empathize with the problems encountered by the old researchers.
For them, the most shameful thing in their memory is probably the Taiwan Strait crisis or the bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Embassy.
