Chapter 465: When you are popular, you are surrounded by good people(2/3)
The success of "Battlefield" allowed people to see the potential of the golden engine.
The subsequent emergence of "Dark Souls" was even more amazing at the quality of the game presented by the combination of Golden Engine and Phoenix.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Aurora Games naturally set its sights on the golden engine.
True.
As one of the world's largest companies, Aurora Games has its own self-developed engine.
But now, with the rapid progress of the somatosensory game industry, their self-developed engines are somewhat struggling to achieve performance in the game industry.
After all, if the technical capabilities of a "self-developed engine" are not found, it will be difficult to catch up with the mainstream "commercial engines" on the market.
This point has to be acknowledged even by the golden trend, which has been extremely strong in recent years and projects are never short of money.
Was the initial battle to develop the golden engine big?
The cost is 120 million U.S. dollars, a team of 2,000 people, and the joint research and development efforts of most of the Chinese gaming industry.
What does the end result look like?
If it weren't for Sam's new approach, his main goal would be to break through the physical damage effects.
So there is no doubt that this vigorously produced engine cannot be compared with the desktop and fantasy.
Even Gu Sheng himself has to admit that even if he wants to catch up with the current Fantasy 5, Golden Engine still has several years to go.
But when they really catch up with Fantasy 5 one day, maybe Fantasy has already entered the next engine era.
And this way!
It becomes more and more obvious that the combination of Golden Wind and Phoenix is particularly powerful.
obviously.
Golden Wind also knows its own disadvantages. It knows that if it focuses on the independent research and development of the golden engine, let alone compare with Fantasy 5.
Whether the Golden Engine can meet their increasingly higher game technical requirements in a timely manner is still unknown.
then!
They decided to overtake in a corner!
Doesn’t technology take time to accumulate?
Then I will trade money for time!
I will directly take the road of industrial alliance and use the experience accumulated by others over a long period of time to make up for my current shortcomings!
And this means that today's golden engine is actually no longer a simple engine, but has become a platform!
It is like a huge puzzle base, constantly filling and perfecting itself with ready-made pieces!
It is actually difficult for Maher to define what kind of engine the golden engine is.
Today's engines generally fall into three categories - free engines, commercial engines, and self-developed engines.
Is it a free engine?
Obviously not.
Although it was originally claimed to be jointly developed by the entire Chinese gaming industry.
But in fact, all the research and development expenses from front to back have been paid by Golden Wind, so Golden Wind naturally enjoys all its copyrights and provides them to other manufacturers in China for a fee.
But in terms of price, manufacturers that have participated in research and development enjoy preferential policies.
So is it a business engine?
It doesn't seem to be the case.
Because theoretically, commercial engine R&D companies usually are not involved in the development of game projects.
Moreover, the business engine has a great feature - in addition to being used by the game industry, it will also be used by industries such as architecture, design, film and television.
But the golden engine only serves the game industry, and all upgrades are for game performance.
But in this way it seems to be a self-developed engine?
It's very evil, but it's not!
Because self-developed engines are usually tools produced and sold by a certain manufacturer.
It is developed, upgraded and used by the game manufacturers themselves.
It is not open to the public at all, and no usage fees will be charged for external sales.
so!
What type of engine tool is the Golden Engine?
Maher didn't know.
If he had to give a definition, he could only say that the golden engine is a "self-developed commercial engine master version that only serves the game industry independently"!
That’s right!
It can't even be narrowly defined as an "engine"!
Rather, it is a comprehensive “master version”!
Because of the industrial alliance with Phoenix, its nature has changed!
God knows how huge the ambition of Golden Wind is!
This is an unprecedented business development model in the engine industry!
And this model also allows Aurora Games to smell new development opportunities.
Although it is difficult for them to define the business development model of Golden Engine.
But there is no doubt that its potential is absolutely unprecedented.
This thing is a stitch monster.
Who knows how terrifying the ultimate golden engine would be if one day they were allowed to sew up the entire engine industry.
so.
They want to strike first.
After all, there are ready-made examples right in front of you!
Can you imagine how happy those manufacturers who were determined to participate in the research and development of the golden engine in the early stages of the project are now?
What they now enjoy is the service of "at an internal base price close to a third-rate engine, while enjoying dual technical support of the gold engine and the Phoenix engine"!
What does this amount to?
This is equivalent to staying in a five-star presidential suite for the price of a single room in a guest house!
And the reason why they have this kind of treatment now is just because when the developer built the guest house, they went to the construction site to help!
Although the opportunity cannot be missed, it will never come again.
Today's Golden Wind has passed the most difficult moment, and it will never open to more manufacturers the preferential policies that can only be enjoyed by veteran manufacturers.
But for Aurora Games, you can’t enjoy a third-rate price, so you can let me enjoy a second-rate price!
Although I am not providing help in times of need.
But the icing on the cake is also a flower.
"Industrial alliances improve market competitiveness,"
Maher nodded repeatedly:
"Actually, that's what I want to say."
Hear the words.
Shen Miaomiao raised her hand to signal Maher to continue.
I saw Maher sorting out his thoughts and said:
"The combination between your company and Phoenix can be said to have opened up a new idea for the collaborative development of the game industry,"
"And in this GDC, your company's "Dark Souls" is the best demonstration of the results of collaborative development,"
"You should have seen that just yesterday, our official tweets, including the CEO's personal tweets, gave absolute affirmation and support to the new ideas, new models, and new prospects proposed by your company,"
"This is not only our attitude, but also includes our practical expectations for the new model of joint industrial development..."
Listening to Maher's words, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart, what people said was right——
When you are weak, there are the most bad people, but when you are popular, you are surrounded by good people.
Thinking back to those days, when they were still weak, ridicule, contempt, ridicule and doubt were flying everywhere.
Look now.
With the phrase "cooperation and coordinated development", in less than 24 hours, it attracted support and cooperation requests from internationally renowned first-tier manufacturers.
Shen Miaomiao motioned to Chu Qingzhou beside her to record the next content, because she started to hear it a little confused.
