Chapter 206 Customized Tianba Engine
What does it mean for an FPS game to have no cheats? To use a more vivid metaphor, it is probably equivalent to "there is a wife with fair skin, beautiful face and long legs in the wife cake".
What? This is impossible?
It's impossible! How can there be no cheats in FPS games? This sentence is so explosive that anyone would roll their eyes.
But at this moment, Chen Ba and Kadier, who suddenly talked about this topic, neither thought it was a joke.
Quite the opposite.
They both knew that this was most likely true and would really put an end to all forms of FPS plug-in scripts and cheating.
The principle of implementation? Black technology does not need a principle. Chen Ba couldn't understand the long string of code of Tianba Engine, let alone other outsiders.
To put it bluntly, games developed using the Tianba engine have become "isolated" from other games and are no longer the same product.
"For example, FPS games developed with other engines are all Android software, but FPS games developed with Tianba Engine are iOS."
Kadier raised his eyebrows and said, "This isolation makes it difficult for existing computer tampering and intrusion solutions to work on this game."
These two are not the same thing! If they are not the same thing, then why do you think that the plug-in script you wrote will work on the game? What? You are so prophetic that the plug-in software you wrote can be cross-platform and cross-language? This foreigner has a keen observation...
Chen Ba was a little surprised. He didn't expect to hear the most fair evaluation of Tianba Engine so far from the foreigner Kadier.
That’s right!
Kadier used Android and IOS to describe why games developed with Tianba Engine can prevent plug-ins and various scripts. This metaphor is quite vivid.
But he was wrong about one thing.
That is, the actual gap between games developed by Tianba Engine and other games is much greater than that between Android and IOS.
"You are right. From this perspective, FPS games developed with the Tianba engine can indeed solve a large part of the gaming environment where plug-ins are rampant and scripts are rampant."
Chen Ba first confirmed Kadier's guess, then spread his hands and said, "But what does this have to do with me? Tianba Engine is open software, and anyone can use it for a fee."
Tianba engines are not expensive.
Even if it is used for commercial purposes, it is only slightly more expensive than the old engines from ten years ago and is not worth paying attention to at all.
Kadier could definitely afford such an affordable engine. Even if he couldn't, he could get a free trial just by saying hello to Chen Ba.
Therefore, his plot is definitely not simple! "Don't say that to me..."
"I just simply feel that the existing Tianba engine is not capable of developing a large-scale FPS game."
Kader is very realistic. His goal from the beginning was to target well-known series such as "Call of Duty" and "Battlefield" with the aim of surpassing them.
If we want to realize this ambition, the current Tianba engine is not enough.
Little-known fact! The Tianba engine is a byproduct of the development of Global Evolution. Since it is a byproduct, the engine naturally has a strong Global Evolution style and characteristics.
This unique style is indeed a great help if it is used to develop similar games, but it would be a disaster if it is used to develop different types of games.
Kadier proposed that he and his team were willing to customize a Tianba engine specifically for FPS games with full adaptability in all aspects for a very high reward.
"Oh!"
Seeing this foreigner taking out his checkbook so arrogantly, Chen Ba couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Is this really bleeding? Even if he asked for a huge sum of money now and deliberately extorted a sum of Kadier, he would probably accept it happily. There is no way, an FPS game without plug-ins is really too good.
No, no, no! This can no longer be called good, but invincible, directly killing all the existing FPS games on the market. No matter what type it is, no matter who produced it, it will be swept into the garbage dump of history anyway.
No one was dissatisfied.
If you don't agree, then try using a cheat in the game! See if your cheat still works this time?
From this perspective, the Tianba engine is indeed worth the price. Those who think it is too expensive don’t understand the value of “FPS without cheats” at all.
But then again…
The fact that the engine is worth so much money doesn't mean that Chen Ba will sell it for that much money. He never even said from the beginning to the end that he would agree to Kadiel's request.
Foreigners, please stop being so self-indulgent!
He didn't agree, so what does the price have to do with Chen Ba? Could it be that this guy is planning to force the sale?
“Why not sell it?”
Kadier looked a little surprised and said, "Chen, I promise that the price you pay will satisfy you, and I just want a customized version..."
"NoNoNo!"
Chen Ba waved his hands and said, "This has nothing to do with the bid. Let me emphasize again that Tianba Engine does not support customized special versions for the time being."
Crazy? The more Kadier thought about it, the angrier he became. This was a business opportunity he had discovered with great difficulty, and he was ready to spend a lot of money on it.
As a result, he met Chen Ba, a fool who refused to accept the money he was offered and even rejected his proposal.
What on earth was this man thinking? Kadier thought Chen Ba was very strange, but Chen Ba felt very good.
The reason why he rejected Kadier's proposal and check was mainly because he thought of a key issue, that is, if Tianba engine really has an "FPS customized version", it will definitely become the darling of all game developers.
in other words.
It’s not that we won’t make this customized version, but once it’s made it cannot be sold to others and must be in the hands of Tianba Studio.
Anyone else wants to use it? No problem, just pay! This is a stable and safe FPS game without any plug-in scripts. Once it is released, it will definitely have a huge impact on current FPS games.
Under this impact, whether it is a large or small company, if they want their own games to survive and want to get a share of the FPS field, they must use the Tianba engine.
Isn't it better to make money from the entire industry than from Kadir?
It was because of this that Chen Ba declined Kadier's temptation and said firmly that he could look forward to the update of Tianba Engine version 3.1.
It’s not just Kadir.
Many European, American, Japanese and Korean game developers came to the party. Chen Ba identified the target, and he disclosed the news of the new version of Tianba Engine 3.1 to all the companies that had FPS games or were interested in developing FPS games.
"Wow? Is this true?"
"An FPS game without any plug-ins or cheaters? That's really... quite exciting!"
"Shit! Are you kidding me? How could this happen? Do you know how unbelievable this is?"
"How did you do that?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Chen Ba, who was originally unknown and even after winning the TGA award, few of his peers remembered his name, has now become the most popular star at the party.
Everyone was surrounding him, whether they were big companies or small workshops, and they were all asking the same question: Is this news reliable? Can the so-called Tianba Engine 3.1 really isolate all plug-ins and cheaters?
"Let's wait and see!"
Chen Ba didn't say too much because he knew that if he did, he might get slapped in the face.
Therefore, he emphasized that FPS games developed with the Tianba engine cannot achieve 100% resistance to plug-ins, and can only achieve 99.64% at best!
…
"Cool, there's a decimal point!"
When Chen Ba returned to Jiangning, he heard Dong Ge's joking voice as soon as he opened the door: "How did you get the number 99.64%?"
"I just said it casually. I added two decimal places to increase the authenticity and reliability of the data."
Chen Ba waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Is there any result from the test I asked Xiao Lu to do?"
"have!"
Talking about serious matters, Yang Dong regained his composure and said, "That foreigner is right. For FPS games developed with the Tianba engine, plug-ins are basically ineffective."
Really invalid! This invalidation means that after the plug-in software encounters the Tianba engine, all functions and modules will automatically become invalid. After a long time, a "no response" window prompt will even pop up.
Xiao Lu specifically tested several situations.
One is to open the plug-in software or plugin first, and then enter the game. The other is to enter the game first and open the plug-in in the game.
Without a doubt.
No matter what the situation is, when the plug-in encounters a game made with the Tianba engine, there will be no reaction.
The most outrageous thing is a certain AI plug-in, which works perfectly in other games and can even bypass system monitoring. However, it crashes as soon as it enters the Tianba engine.
That’s right, crash!
This conflict situation directly leads to players being forced to choose one of the two. There is no possibility of Tianba Engine coexisting or even coexisting with other software or plug-ins.
"So sad?"
Chen Ba took a look at the test results and asked thoughtfully, "After the test, can we really achieve a plug-in-free FPS gaming experience?"
“That’s right!”
Xiao Lu said excitedly: "As long as the game is developed by Tianba Engine, there is no need to worry about plug-ins, scripts and other issues, and the same applies to FPS games."
This is great news! It can be said that from now on, FPS games will enter a new era. If you can't beat someone in a gunfight, you can no longer blame them for cheating. You can only blame yourself for being bad.
After all, there are no cheats in this game, and no one will believe you no matter how hard you try. You can only say that the opponent is a master and you were careless this time...
But this also brings up a problem.
The Tianba engine is now in version 2.6. To put it bluntly, this version of the engine is not suitable for developing FPS games.
If we really force development, it will most likely cause a series of unexpected bugs.
So when Chen Ba said that he would update the engine to version 3.1 and launch a special FPS development version, Xiao Lu was very curious.
What does Brother Ba plan to do? The basic framework and components of a game engine are not so easy to change, not to mention that Brother Ba has never made an FPS game.
"You can't do it if you haven't done it before?"
"It's just an FPS game, isn't that just a piece of cake? Who are you looking down on?"
Chen Ba, who had originally only planned to make modifications to the engine and update the version, immediately changed his mind after hearing what Xiao Lu said.
An engine alone is not enough.
In order to deepen the credibility, why not just make a finished game! Although I lack experience in FPS, it’s just a sample... This shouldn’t be difficult, right? (End of this chapter)
