The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

Chapter 406: 403. Will it be too late in time?

Chapter 406 403. Is it too late in time?

Cao Yang came to the "Minecraft" project team and played with him for a while, with a happy smile on his face.

"Not bad, well done."

Get the praise from the boss, and the members of the project team are very happy.

Especially Wanke, the main planner of "Minecraft".

There seem to be quite a lot of female employees at Bomi, including middle-level leaders. Wan Keke was originally an audition company. She usually likes some cute things, and she also likes to play the pixel style of Cairo, the island country. game.

There is just such a project now. Li Lanyun communicated with her boss, Lai Yuling, and adjusted Wanke over.

"Minecraft" is now placed under the king studio group, mainly because the main business of the king studio group is the urban magic style, plus there was a more modern casual game type such as Audition before, and leave it to them More appropriate.

"Hehe." Wan Keke's cheeks flushed, and he smiled shyly.

This is the first time she has been in contact with her boss so close after working for Bomi for so long.

"This project is the boss's good idea, the big framework is relatively complete, so it is very easy to do." Wan Keke said with a little pride on his face, "We have been in the project since October, and it has been less than half a year. The relevant content has been developed."

This game is very easy to make, it can be developed quickly whether it is for the program or the art.

"Yes," the main beauty and the main program next to it also help to say something, "Because "Minecraft" is a pixel style, there is not much difficulty in the production process, and the program overhead is very low, and it runs smoothly."

"Are there any obstructive bugs in the game now?" Cao Yang asked.

"Obstructive bug?" When the leader of the test group was suddenly asked, he was still a little dazed. He turned on his computer and checked and responded, "The obstructive bug has been cleared during the test last week. One of the few small bugs."

The so-called obstructive bug means that the game cannot be played completely after it appears, such as flashback, disconnection, crash, in-game stuck, module failure to load... and so on.

As for other types of bugs, such as being suddenly teleported to a strange location while walking, or there is an invisible wall in front of you, the kind that you can circumvent, it can only be regarded as a relatively serious bug, but not Counted as an obstructive bug.

The remaining small digital reality problems, or the occasional block cannot be destroyed...These are actually relatively small bug types.

It is quite difficult to test this thing, because my world has too much freedom. When the students in the test group are testing, one is to manually run the functional examples of the program, and then write some test cases and small test cases. Automatically generated program to perform detection.

It is equivalent to the test team building an automatic world and building generator based on the original "Minecraft". Although the generated things are all kinds of things, it can basically cover most of the tests.

In other words, since the test team leader said that there are no obstructive bugs, "Minecraft" is now quite complete.

"Converge the remaining bugs as soon as possible." Cao Yang raised his head and looked at Li Lanyun, "Advance "Minecraft" to before Shan Hai Jing."

"Huh?" Li Lanyun was a little confused.

Is this decision too hasty?

After all, the Book of Mountains and Seas and the Soul of the Assassin have been completed, and the project was established earlier than "Minecraft", and at the same time, the schedule is arranged.

How come you suddenly want to raise the priority of "Minecraft"?

This risk is a bit high, right?

"Meeting." Cao Yang stood up and clapped his hands. "The person in charge of "My World" will come to the meeting room."

……

The group of people were full of doubts, and filed in behind the boss's ass.

Everyone sat down a little nervously, wondering what happened.

In fact, for the members of the "Minecraft" project team, they are actually ready to go online a long time ago. After all, the completion of the game is now relatively high, but they don’t know when it will go online. According to According to Li Lanyun's previous vision, "Minecraft" will not be available until after July at the earliest.

"That's what I think." Cao Yang saw that everyone was there, so he began to tell everyone, "Isn't August the Olympic Games in the Imperial Capital? It can be said to be a rare event in a century. The Olympic Games that may be held in China in the next few decades will be This time."

"Hmm." Everyone nodded.

After all, the imperial capital’s bid for the Olympics is a big event. It is now at the end of April, and the imperial capital Olympics will be in a few months. The eyes of the whole world are focused here.

But what is the relationship between the Olympic Games and when "Minecraft" will be launched?

The main planner, Wan Keke, wondered in his heart that the Olympic Games will not be held in "Minecraft" simultaneously, right?

If Boss Cao knew her inner thoughts, Cao Yang would definitely praise her as a clever ghost.

"This is why I want to mention "Minecraft" in May." Cao Yang said.

ha? !

Everyone was dumbfounded.

May?

Boss, it’s already April 28th, isn’t it going to be online in a few days?

"Is this too hasty?" Li Lanyun took the lead and asked, "I am mainly afraid of hidden bugs, which have not been detected yet. The development cycle of Minecraft is indeed a bit short."

Although the amount of development of "Minecraft" is not too large, it is a relatively casual game.

The key point is that this time is not the same as the last smartphone conference. Whether the game was done well or not, whether all the bugs are converged or not is secondary, mainly to show the game performance at the smartphone conference.

After the press conference is over, there is about half a year left to perfect the game.

But if "Minecraft" goes live, it will really be open to the outside world.

This risk must be evaluated, right?

"I think so," Cao Yang said. "The Imperial Capital Olympics is a rare event in a century. This year, the whole world will focus on this Olympics, so I want to combine the promotion of "Minecraft" with this Olympics. stand up.

We can build an official model in the game to be used as a promotional activity this time.

Corresponding to this Olympic Games, we will first officially do a few spectacles, such as:

Forbidden City, Qingming Shanghe, Bird’s Nest... these. "

What? !

Everyone was shocked by Boss Cao’s remarks.

"One is that we can see if we can communicate with the organizers of the Olympic Games and display our game results on the advertising screens of some large-scale competitions on the scene. On the other hand, we will follow the Olympic Games in the official module of "Minecraft". Interactive, players can download relevant official modules from us to make their own [Olympics]. At the same time, we also provide archives of these large buildings for players to download and use.

In this way, it is a very perfect linkage effect. "Cao Yang looked at them with bright eyes, and looked extremely excited.

Oh my god……

Except for Wanke, everyone else took a breath.

Only Wan Keke is thinking about--

Does the boss have mind-reading skills? How do you know what I was thinking? !

Cao Yang looked at everyone, no one in the conference room dared to speak.

After listening to Cao Yang’s explanation, Li Lanyun has actually been persuaded by him. If Cao Yang can really make the content that Cao Yang thought, Bomi’s cooperation and linkage with the Olympic Games will definitely be an unprecedented performance by then.

This kind of marketing method can already be described in art.

No, it is art in itself.

And promote the national culture, showing the beautiful and powerful side of China through the virtual world in the game, isn’t this more meaningful?

According to Li Lanyun’s idea, if you can get top-secret information and get authorization from the Olympic organizer, it would be better to use Minecraft to restore the entire Olympic opening ceremony on the day of the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

Of course, these wild ideas are just a flash of inspiration from Li Lanyun.

The most troublesome thing for him now is that the development cycle of "Minecraft" is indeed a bit short, and now there is not much time left before the Olympic Games. I don't know if the project team can finish it within this time.

"In fact, in addition to the Forbidden City, the Bird's Nest... these, I think many iconic buildings can be put in," Wan Keke said, "for example, the Bomi Building, which has now become a landmark of the imperial capital, as well as the terracotta warriors and horses. In addition to the various events in the Olympics, diving, table tennis...These can be made into modules for players to use. If it can be done well, the linkage during the Olympics will definitely be very good. Effect."

Wan Keke very much agrees with Boss Cao’s idea, because this is what she really thought in her heart just now.

"Huh? Your idea is very good, I like it very much." Cao Yang looked at Wan Ke Ke with satisfaction, as if he found the shadow of Ai Xiaomi in her body. He has an idea, and it is in line with his own heart. A good planner. , There is a lot to do in the future.

It was ridiculously very happy to be praised by the boss of Cao.

Next to the main beauty Zhang Yiqian gave Wan Keke a fierce look, the main policy! You can shut up you!

The workload this time is entirely the workload of art, which has nothing to do with procedures and planning. This Wanke can simply stand up and talk without back pain.

The main program next to Zhao Zhuofeng, seeing that he didn't care about his affairs, also honestly closed his mouth.

The key is that Zhang Yiqian dared not confront the boss in person. If this demand was raised by the studio’s planner, Zhang Yiqian would have passed two sentences a long time ago. Do you know how much work you have and you just put forward the plan?

"Boss, do I think this workload is a bit heavy?" Zhang Yiqian pondered the wording, reminding him as tactfully as possible, "It is already April 28, and it is only three months before the opening of the Olympic Games is full.

The key depends on what kind of fine architectural restoration is to be done. If it is a Q version, the Forbidden City is not so demanding for fineness. I think the number of squares used is good. Ten to twenty thousand pieces can be put together and converted. If you become an art man, it is like a week.

But if it’s fine..."

"Of course it must be high-precision," Cao Yang interrupted her and said seriously, "We are going to use the Olympic Games for linkage, whether it is the Forbidden City, the Bird's Nest, or Qingming Shanghe. ...... These are all needed to the degree that people will be admired after seeing them, otherwise, what is the point of doing this?"

咝……

Everyone sucked in air.

How many squares have to be made?

Zhang Yiqian felt the pain and wanted to find a place to sew in.

"At least a few million squares," Zhang Yiqian conservatively estimated, "If you are a Forbidden City."

"Well, almost." Cao Yang agreed.

this……

Everyone dared not look up, but they were thinking in their hearts--

Boss, is this crazy?

This workload is really not something human can do.

However, since it is the boss's demand, everyone can only think about a solution first, otherwise it would be a sin to kill the boss with a stick.

"If you want to complete such a large amount of work for development," Zhang Yiqian said, "My idea here is to do it as an art project, and then after drawing it according to the true proportions of the Forbidden City, it is divided into multiple modules, and then Give it to different art.

Assuming the calculation is based on the volume of 2 million squares, if an art works in 3 months, except for building blocks, if other things are completely ignored, it will probably complete 100,000 yuan. Then count the Qingming Shanghe Tu, the Bird’s Nest, the Bomi Building, Related materials for the Olympics...It takes almost 100 fine arts to complete such a large project. "

There is a sentence, Zhang Yiqian didn’t say clearly--

And this process will be quite painful.

However, the art itself is similar to this.

Otherwise, art artists refer to art workers. Everyone moves bricks, but the bricks they move are not the same.

There were some formal differences in moving bricks before, this time moving bricks in "Minecraft" is really moving bricks.

Zhang Yiqian has all the hearts she wants to cry.

Cao Yang is also an art artist himself, and of course he can understand their ideas, "This is indeed a very large amount of engineering."

And this is only part of it. If you want to make the collections in the Forbidden City through Minecraft, the workload will be at least 3-5 times.

Cao Yang only intends to do part of it. Of course, these must first be authorized by the relevant department.

However, with Bomi’s current relationship, it shouldn’t be a big problem to get the authorization. This time using "Minecraft" to promote Chinese traditional culture, promote Chinese technology and landmarks, is actually a great thing, and the promotion of the game is just The benefits that come with it are nothing more.

The biggest problem is whether it can be done and to what extent.

"I remember that the Forbidden City Museum's database stores the architectural models of the Forbidden City," Cao Yang said, "At that time, we can see if we can directly let them authorize the relevant model materials to us."

"As for the bird's nest, it is the same."

Before the architect designs and builds, he must calculate and draw various internal structures clearly in advance. It is inevitable that data modeling methods will be used.

The role of the computer is quite large. It can help calculate the problems in the building, such as load-bearing, bending rate...building height, foundation influence, etc...

So Cao Yang concluded that the official government must have an architectural model of the bird’s nest, not only a large frame model, but also a very detailed internal structure.

"Bomi Tower is even easier." Cao Yang said, "These materials are all we can obtain."

Officials do not need to provide data parameters, such as material parameters, materials, etc... because these things together will have certain security risks.

Bomi company only needs the part of the official data, which is the shape model.

Their request is to behave like.

This should be no problem.

After listening to Cao Yang's explanation, everyone calmed down a bit.

……

"But there are still big differences," the main beauty Zhang Yiqian said with furrowed eyebrows, and said uncomfortably, "In our games, there are basically blocks. The buildings that are spliced by blocks must be very regular.

Like a mosaic.

But I didn’t figure it out. Even if we can get the relevant building models, how to make them back into the game?

If we can't achieve automatic import, we still have not reduced the amount of engineering, which is equivalent to all models have to be rebuilt according to mosaic. "

Cao Yang smiled and nodded, agreeing with Zhang Yiqian's words.

He turned his gaze to the only programmer present, Zhao Zhuofeng, the main program of the Minecraft project team.

The latter chrysanthemum tightened, and the entire back straightened up.

"This...you want to mosaic the building, right?"

How do you say this?

Have never done this before.

Zhao Zhuofeng feels a lot of pressure, “I can’t assess how large this project is now, and the final effect is not guaranteed.”

"This way," Cao Yang said with a smile, "You ask Deng Peiqiang and the others for help, divide it into several groups to study, my idea is -

It shouldn’t be a difficult thing to regularize irregular polygons. There must be algorithms in mathematics. Deng Peiqiang will definitely be able to handle this. If he can’t handle it, you should come to me.

At least after the first mosaicization of the program is over, the art can get a relatively usable model. On this basis, it should be too late to make detailed revisions. "

When Zhang Yiqian heard this, her tight brows finally stretched.

And Zhao Zhuofeng looked surprised, how come the last round of the art work meeting ended and it became a program?

In fact, these are relatively easy to build. You only need to have an architectural model for comparison, mosaic first, and then generated by the program.

The hard things are things that have never been done before.

For example, Cao Yang just mentioned [Picture of Shanghe River on Qingming Festival].

What the **** is this? Artists haven’t figured it out yet. Do you mean using square grids to make a picture?

If this is the case, it is much simpler, and the program implementation is complete.

You only need to get the photos of the Qingming Shanghe map, and then mosaic it, and then import it into the game according to the tool written in the program according to the pixel map, and it will be automatically generated.

This is easier than mosaicizing a 3D building.

After a meeting for more than an hour, the main beauty Zhang Yiqian realized that the picture of the river on the Qingming Festival that Cao Yang wanted was not only to restore the picture of the river on the Qingming Festival itself, but also to restore the scene of the Northern Song Dynasty that year, which is equivalent to building out of squares. A scene of a busy market came out.

this……

Zhang Yiqian let out a sigh in her heart.

Well, this thing cannot be handled by programs, it has to be art.

In just three months, dozens of artists will definitely be enough to do the Qingming River Tour together.

……

Everyone discussed it for a while, and the problems have been discussed and resolved.

"Then we held an official production competition with three themes:

China, the world, the Olympics. Players choose one of them.

Before the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games on August 28, awards will be given to the first few selected. "

Uh-huh.

Everyone nodded and quickly took notes in their notebooks.

I thought I could take a breath after finishing this project, but I didn’t expect such an arduous task to come all of a sudden.
