Zhao Ye smiled faintly and said, "It's called the Source Engine. As for its effects, I can only say it's unparalleled. You'll know when you use it. Okay, now let me introduce the game you're going to develop with this Source Engine."
After a pause, Zhao Ye stood up, walked to the blackboard, picked up a pen, wrote a line on it, and then said, "The game you're developing is called 'Counter-Strike.' Players will be divided into two teams: the 'Counter-Strike' team and the 'Terrorist' team. Each team must engage in multiple rounds of combat on a map. The way to win a round is to achieve the objective required by the map or to completely eliminate the enemy players."
The game has six modes: 'Demolition Mode', 'Hostage Rescue Mode', 'Assassination Mode', 'Escape Mode', and 'Arsenal Mode'. At the beginning, it's not necessary to develop all six modes; proceed gradually and continuously update the game…”
Zhao Ye spoke eloquently and gave a very detailed introduction to Counter-Strike to everyone.
After hearing this, everyone was extremely excited.
They were already very interested in the game just from hearing the introduction.
Shooting and competitive team battle games—there were none before! This undoubtedly creates a new game genre!
"I can't wait to develop Counter-Strike and then have everyone team up for multiplayer battles!" an executive said excitedly.
"Haha, me too! I can't contain my excitement! The games we developed before were mostly single-player games, but Counter-Strike is a multiplayer PC game that can connect to a LAN! Through Counter-Strike, we can see the development potential of PC games, which seems to be even greater than that of home console games! Humans are social creatures, and even when playing games, we like to play with a few good friends. Therefore, multiplayer game mode is definitely the future trend!"
“Yes, in line with our company’s internet cafe plan, multiplayer shooting games like Counter-Strike will definitely be a huge hit!” Wang Jizhi couldn’t help but say.
Zhao Ye smiled, returned to his seat, took out the USB drive, handed it to Wang Jizhi, and instructed, "The Origin Engine is a strategic tool of the company. Do not leak it out, and no one in the company is allowed to copy the software without authorization."
Upon hearing this, Wang Jizhi said with a serious expression, "Boss, don't worry, I know the value of the Origin Engine!"
With the Source Engine, high-quality games can be developed quickly, and if competitors obtain it, it will pose a threat to Wujiang Games.
The meeting ended shortly afterward.
As soon as Zhao Ye left, everyone eagerly went to Wang Jizhi, wanting to understand the effects of the Origin Engine.
Seeing everyone gather around, Wang Jizhi said with a wry smile, "Let's go to the lab and test the effects of the Origin Engine on the 'Nuwa Server'!"
"Alright, alright, let's go right away!"
The crowd was in high spirits and surrounded Wang Jizhi as they walked toward the laboratory.
Soon, everyone arrived at the laboratory and started up the "Nuwa Server," or rather, a small "Nuwa Graphics Workstation."
Although this "Nuwa Server" is just a prototype, its performance is truly powerful, making game development much more efficient.
Wang Jizhi inserted the USB drive into the "Nuwa Server" and then ran the Origin Engine, using it to create a simple test game.
Shortly afterward, a shocking sound erupted from the laboratory.
"My goodness, the rendering and lighting effects are absolutely amazing! The visuals are stunning. Oh, and it even supports polygonal models and particle effects!"
"Look at this physical system, it's so realistic, every movement is just like in reality."
"..."
Finally, everyone was so shocked they were numb, not knowing how to describe Zhao Ye. His skills were so amazing, he was definitely a super god in the computer world!
All that could be done was to worship him!
Zhao Ye returned to his office, but thought that having only one PC game wasn't enticing enough.
what to do?
After thinking for a moment, he decided to develop Diablo, Warcraft, and StarCraft.
We can only feel bad for Blizzard Entertainment; after all, their games are so fun.
However, before that, Zhao Ye wanted to continue improving the Origin Engine. At this point, he wouldn't be developing it alone; instead, he would assemble a highly skilled team.
The importance of game engines is self-evident; they are the very core of a game. In the future, game engines will even be able to achieve a level of realism that is indistinguishable from reality, and many film productions have utilized game engines.
The next day, Zhao Ye returned to Wujiang Games and announced the establishment of the Origin Engine department.
After the Origin Engine department was established, Zhao Ye selected a group of talented programmers to join it, and then began recruiting mathematicians, physicists, and so on...
Gaming is one of the core industries of Wujiang Group, so Zhao Ye attaches great importance to the development of game engines.
He will personally lead the development of the game engine project. Because there were many open-source game engines in his previous life, his mastery of game engines is absolutely beyond the imagination of ordinary people, such as Unreal Engine.
Unreal Engine is an open-source, commercially available, but free-to-learn game engine developed by Epic Games. Since its official inception in 1998, Unreal Engine has become the most widely used, most widely adopted, and highest-standard next-generation game engine in the entire gaming industry.
Unreal Engine is used not only in console games, PC games, and mobile games, but also in many other fields such as high-precision simulation, strategic drills, industrial simulation, visualization and design representation, and drone patrols.
