After returning to Su Hua from Ninghai, Meng Huo focused his work on "The Rebellious Lelouch".

Alice did not follow him back because Chen Jie had not left the comic island yet. Meng Huo was very busy during the day because he had to return to Ninghai to start producing "Wine of Immortality". He wanted to do the work of "The Rebellious Lelouch" more steadily.

It was quite leisurely at night. The serial manuscript of "Soul of Chess" in March was drawn as early as last year, so Meng Huo didn't have to participate in Qin Ya and the others' paintings in the studio. He rested for one night, and planned to go to the game department to make a look the second night.

After dinner, Meng Huo went out and pressed the elevator. However, after the elevator opened, he found Chen Jie standing inside.

"Why, are you going out?" Chen Jie asked in surprise. She hadn't seen Meng Huo for a long time. Today she finally took the time to see him and say goodbye to him. Unexpectedly, she met Meng Huo so accidentally.

"Well, I have to go to the game department once." Meng Huo frowned: "Why don't you say anything before you come? The staff of the game department are working overtime waiting for me to come. You can't go tonight if you don't."

Chen Jie didn't expect Meng Huo to go out, so she didn't inform her in advance, but when she saw Meng Huo go out, she didn't stop her: "That's okay, take me with you. It's not an important job for you to go there at night, right?"

Meng Huo nodded: "I'm just going to have a look."

He felt that it was no big deal to take Chen Jie over, so he walked into the elevator and walked towards the game production department with her. On the way, he also explained to Chen Jie the specific reason for going to the game production department this time.

This matter has to start with the Chinese New Year. "Ad" was completed before the Chinese New Year, so Meng Huo transferred from the game production department to help the painters who also retired. Meng Huo thought that this would happen. After work, he had to give them a game to make.

The game department's business was also idle for a long time. Meng Huo also made some preparations for the new game during the holiday, but he was not prepared very well - because before he was ready, He Qian called him and told him that he hoped he would not launch a new game for the time being.

"Ah, I know this." Chen Jie nodded when she heard this: "I was by your side at that time. I remember she seemed to say that she had found a few very powerful game designers and wanted to try to make a game by herself, right?"

"Yes." Meng Huo nodded. When He Qian transferred the painter last year, he said that he wanted to make some games by himself. Meng Huo didn't care much at that time, but he didn't expect that He Qian was very enthusiastic about this matter and ran around during the New Year holiday. He actually successfully dug up several designers from well-known game manufacturers.

With the designer, He Qian further made a request to Meng Huo, just to tell him not to rush to launch a new text adventure game, and to hand over the painters of the game department to her - she can use them well.

Meng Huo was surprised that He Qian's project actually required to use the people from the entire department. It was not a simple game, but he was very busy preparing the information for movies and animations at that time. Seeing this situation, of course he was willing to let go.

He actually hopes that the game department can develop other games without text adventure games, without watching Meng Huo in everything, thereby reducing the burden, especially when there are "Wine of Immortality" and "Magician of the Early Century", reducing the energy to develop new games also makes Meng Huo feel relaxed.

After the annual leave, Meng Huo has been busy with other things. Now that he has time, he wants to see what He Qian is trying to do. "Although I agree to let her develop a new game." Meng Huo smiled at Chen Jie, "But not all games are OK. At least I have to go and see that she won't do anything randomly."

He said that, but Meng Huo believed in Au Qian. He was actually just curious. After hearing him, Chen Jie couldn't help but be interested in the new game that He Qian was developing: "I will take the initiative to ask Meng Huo to postpone the production of the text adventure game. What game is He Qian doing?"

She thought it would be a good game. Why not be so persistent in a good game? But after arriving at the game production department, Chen Jie was a little disappointed.

"Nothing is there, hasn't started work yet..." When He Qian introduced her new employee to Meng Huo, Chen Jie had secretly scanned all the computer screens of the game department. These computer screens were filled with code data and design drawings, and there was no shape. It can be seen that the game has not been officially produced yet.

Meng Huo soon noticed this. When asked about He Qian’s name of the new game, she actually replied simply: “I don’t know, we haven’t started doing it yet!”

Meng Huo was surprised: "Then what are you doing now?"

"Game engine!" He Qian said excitedly: "Although we have not started making new games yet, we already have the idea of ​​games. We want to make a super large, super gorgeous and super fun online game! But before that, we have to make the game engine first."

The so-called game engine, like the engine of a vehicle, is crucial to a game. A successful engine can support multiple operating platforms, including many systems: a rendering engine (i.e. a "render", including a two-dimensional image engine and a three-dimensional image engine), a physics engine, a collision detection system, sound effects, script engine, computer animation, artificial intelligence, network engine, and scene management, etc.

It can be said that the game engine is the lifeline of the game, and a successful engine can produce many different games - this is what He Qian is doing.

"Online games... Is the engine of online games so easy to do?" Meng Huo felt a little trouble. In fact, he didn't know much about games, but the game engine knew something. It was normal for an excellent online game engine to take several years to produce.

But how could he give He Qian such a long time?

"Teacher, you don't know that the best engine is free." He Qian laughed: "How could I develop it from scratch? It's because of the free engine that I have the idea of ​​making my own games."

She introduced to Meng Huo that China's best game engine, "Fantasy Dream Four", is different from the past engine. It is free - in other words, engine vendors gave up the past rental and sky-high buyouts and chose an open and win-win method.

It is said to be free, but it is not really free. "Fantasy Dream Four" has the highest performance among all engines now, and its optimization is also done quite well. It not only exposes all tools and source code now, but also provides a complete ecosystem, and future updates will be free.

It only has one charging method, that is, when someone uses this engine to make games, commercialize and earn more than 50,000 yuan, he must start paying 5% of the copyright fee one after another - slowly paying all the full copyright fee.

This charging method is very user-friendly. If a game is not successful, there is no need to pay. If it is successful, the game producers do not have to pay too much money at one time. They just need to pay it slowly.

Of course, the cost of full copyright is much higher than that of other engines, but the risk is low and the quality is good. He Qian chose this first.

"So that's it..." Meng Huo roughly understood, but was still a little puzzled: "Since that's the case, can't the engine be used directly? Then what are you doing? What do you want the painters to do?"

"We are just making new engines, but..." He Qian elongated her voice mischievously, and then said: "Actually, it is wrong to say that it is an engine, but we are indeed modifying the "Fantasy Dream Four" engine. I am not very satisfied with it..."

She pulled a game designer next to her and introduced it to Meng Huo again. Meng Huo only realized that this game designer was actually one of the developers of "Fantasy Dream Four", and there was another person like this.

There are two original developers of "Fantasy Dream Four", He Qian boldly decided to modify the engine. Her dissatisfaction with the original engine was mainly due to the dissatisfaction in the image, and the modification was mainly due to the image engine.

"Then you want the painters to..."

"Yes, it's just helping to make this image engine." He Qian nodded: "The engines of 'Fantasy 4' are great, but the image engine is a bit different from what I imagined... You may have been spoiled by Teacher He Xi. I want a better rendering image engine."

With this engine alone, it will take several months to modify it, so I hope Meng Huo can give her these few months.

"What about the game?" Meng Huo agreed, but he still didn't know the game information he wanted to know.

"Don't care about the game for now, I haven't thought about it yet." He Qian was a little embarrassed: "Although I had a preliminary idea and wanted to make an online game, the specific planning has not yet begun. We will make the engine first, and then make your game for the teacher. After having the engine, we can slowly think of new games..."

He Qian already has a direction and knows what kind of engine is needed, but what kind of game is not something that can be thought of overnight. She is ready to prepare slowly, but the premise is to make the engine first.

"Online games..." Meng Huo found that He Qian was very worried and seemed to have been planning to fight for many years.

But he was also thinking about something. Meng Huo had never thought that it was possible, but now he looked at it, it seemed that it was not the case - "Can you explain this engine to me? You can also show me its effect..."

He asked He Qian for advice on the "Fantasy Dream Four" engine, and He Qian naturally explained it to him very seriously. Meng Huo was unexpectedly interested and stayed in the game department for two hours. Two hours later, he had completely understood the effects of the game engine and what kind of game it could make.

"This engine is good, just modify it as you plan. If you don't have enough money, you can apply to me!" Meng Huo likes the 'Dream Four' engine very much because he found that it can create the top online games in his previous life and realize many of his ideas. Of course... he is very busy now and can only temporarily bury his ideas in his heart. (To be continued)
