Chapter 77: The Immortal Spirit on the Path to Immortality
Chen Ba was initially unaware of the fact that "Star Emperor" had become popular among online writers.
This is normal, after all, the circle is too small.
Seriously speaking, the circle of online writers may not even have as many people as the graphics card bar! As the designated testing software of the graphics card bar, "Star Emperor" is not bad for this popularity.
It was not until after the Mid-Autumn Festival, when he was performing routine server maintenance, that he accidentally discovered a group of players who had registered on the road to becoming immortals for less than a month and whose nicknames were more immature than the last. Only then did he realize what was going on.
“Good fellow!”
Xiao Lu couldn't help but laugh and said, "I was wondering where these players came from. Why are their names so immature? Turns out they are the ones who write online novels."
"I write fantasy novels online!"
Yang Dong added, and then said: "But you know what, the current path to becoming an immortal seems to be a bit more fairy-like."
In the past, the players on the leaderboard all named their games casually, such as "I love to drive Cullinan" and "What can I do with my proudness?" There was nothing special about it.
But now it's different.
Opening the current list of ways to become immortals, the Immortal Emperors and Immortal Kings who are ranked at the top are all well-known and influential figures.
What Niyang Immortal Emperor, what Yandi Wuzu, what Galaxy Lord, what Douzhan Saint Emperor, what Wuzhong Immortal King, what Dugu Baitian...
Those who know it think it is a game list, while those who don’t know it might think it is a group of fantasy and fairy tale protagonists having a technical secondary school reunion!
Who came up with these names? A small number of them were given by online writers, but most of them were influenced by online writers and thought these names were cool, so they followed the trend and changed their names.
certainly!
In addition to following the names of the protagonists in novels, some people choose to be original and come up with some extremely second-year titles, which are then posted on the road to immortality list for everyone to admire.
Thanks to the participation of this group of online writers, the road to becoming an immortal now has a bit of "immortal spirit".
Although these nicknames are more awkward than each other, and one would be embarrassed to admit that these are one's online names when going out, but if everyone is using awkward ones, then it won't be considered awkward.
"That's fine, let them be."
Chen Ba doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. It's awkward, so what. It's not illegal for people to choose online names. So what? Why don't you allow people to choose such names?
However, he can ignore the players who have such childish nicknames, but he cannot ignore those manufacturers who openly advertise on the road to becoming an immortal.
Look at what kind of names these are! On the Immortal Emperor list, among the names of the protagonists of the immortal heroes and fantasy, there are two players with the nicknames of "Da Ren Shuo 4090 Raptor" and "Xian Can Hong 4090 Water God".
What are you doing?
The nickname is out of place, and they even use the immortal road to advertise their own products. They don't really think these lousy gamers can afford a 4090, do they? "They really can afford it!"
Xiao Lu coughed and said unconfidently, "It's hard to say about other games, but advertising on the immortal path of Star Emperor should have good results."
The official flagship store of Darenshuo directly posted a screenshot of the "Road to Immortality Ranking" on the product details page of its own 4090 graphics card, mainly to show off.
Gamers really buy into this! For the same 4090 graphics card, with little price difference, which brand is more reliable?
Although the sales of the game "Star Emperor" are not high, it wins because of its popularity! It's just like 99% of people have never used 3DMark, but it doesn't prevent everyone from hearing about this software.
The results and rankings are posted, so how can they be fake? Anyway, it doesn’t matter who you buy your graphics card from, so why not buy a “combat-proven” Immortal Emperor card?
"Brother Ba, there's nothing we can do about this, right?"
Xiao Lu saw that Brother Ba was worried, and whispered, "Whatever nicknames the players give them, it's their freedom..."
"Yes, you are right!"
Chen Ba nodded, and then said: "It is their freedom to name it, and it is also our freedom to optimize the game in a targeted manner. What do you think?"
The chicken blood optimization cannot be moved.
But this does not mean that Tianba Studio cannot make further optimizations to some graphics cards based on the chicken blood optimization.
However, this is a waste of time and the improvement is not significant, so Chen Ba is too lazy to do it.
But if there is sponsorship, such as funding from a graphics card manufacturer, then it is not impossible to make some advanced optimizations for a specific model or brand of graphics card.
Don't forget that reading hardware information is not a problem at all for an online game, especially a game like "Star Emperor" that recommends picture quality based on configuration.
If you don’t want to pay, then we’ll just use the basic optimization method and keep everything the same.
Give me money. For the sake of money, Tianba Studio can work overtime to make you a super-optimized 2.0 advanced version, so that your 3080 can be comparable to your competitors' 3090.
"Is this possible?"
"Of course! But the improvement is not very obvious, and the chicken blood optimization is only enough for daily use."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Chen Ba did not lie.
Chicken blood optimization is enough for daily use, and it is more than enough, but chicken blood optimization guarantees the "lower limit". If you are willing to spend time on optimization, the upper limit can also be improved.
Of course, just some.
The improvement may not even be 5%, and when reflected in the game frame rate, it may increase from 60 frames to 65 frames at most.
Moreover, this kind of optimization also depends on the graphics card. If the graphics card is too low-end or has too little video memory, it will be useless no matter how much effort is put into optimization.
"Xianyu Digital's business is pretty good. In the future, whichever brand gives us the biggest discount, we will optimize it specifically."
Chen Ba raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly: "The road to becoming an immortal is not just about fighting and killing, but also about the ways of the world!"
Xiao Lu: “…”
Brother Ba is worthy of being Brother Ba! It's a trick so bad that it's festering. It's his idea. What I mean is, why don't you try to get players to spend more money? Why do you always take advantage of the graphics card manufacturers?
Not wanting to think about whether Brother Ba would be put in a sack when walking at night in the future, Xiao Lu took note of this arrangement and moved on to another matter.
The three games released by Tianba Studio so far have all been "multi-platform" releases, with the main focus on casting a wide net.
But after learning about the new game "Divine Land", console manufacturers and Penguin came to the door one after another, hoping to get the exclusive first release qualification.
"Console exclusive?"
Chen Ba was a little puzzled. Although Tianba Studio also launched console versions of its games, it had never paid much attention to them and mainly focused on the PC platform.
How come the new game is being targeted by consoles? Is it because of Huang's last demo video? As for the penguin...
It can only be said that it is expected. After all, Penguin has always wanted to develop the wegame platform and has attracted many domestic stand-alone developers. It is normal to want to have exclusive first release.
However, Chen Ba would definitely not agree to the Penguin deal unless he was given a huge sum of money that he could not refuse. Otherwise, there would be no room for negotiation.
But the fact that it is exclusive to the console platform makes Chen Ba a little hesitant...
