This is not a BUG, ​​this is a game feature

Chapter 44 Lao Huang, good buddy!

The Dream Builder 5 engine is a new thing.

Everyone is familiar with the fourth-generation engine, but many game manufacturers are currently waiting to see the new fifth-generation Dream Engine.

A breakthrough game performance?

The slogan is quite bluffing, but major game companies feel that before the true next-generation game console is released, the slogan of the Dream 5 engine can only be a slogan.

As major AAA companies are deeply involved in console platforms, I feel there is no need to rush. They can wait for the release of the new next-generation consoles and develop an exclusive game.

And those small factories that don't do 3A are even less anxious.

They cannot use the new features promoted by Zhumeng 5. The mature Zhumeng 4 platform can already meet their various needs.

Ever since, a strange scene has occurred in the gaming industry.

The first game developer to officially announce the use of the Dream Builder 5 engine to develop new games is actually a small studio that I have never heard of before.

Take a look at their masterpieces…

Forehead!Dude, what kind of plane are you planning?
Do you need the Dream Builder 5 engine?I feel like Dream Building 3 is enough for you!

No one took the official announcement of "Star Emperor" seriously, because in their view, Tianba Studio was the first to use the DreamBuilding 5 engine, which is no different from killing a chicken with a knife.

To really reflect the power of the Dream Builder 5 engine, you have to look at 3A masterpieces.

of course!

Not everyone thinks that Tianba Studio cannot make good use of the Dream Builder 5 engine and it is just a gimmick.

The world's largest graphics card manufacturer, in order to popularize its "game graphics" technology, Nvidia took great pains to notice Tianba.

To be precise, they hope that the first game developed using the Dream Builder 5 engine will support their ray-tracing graphics technology and carry out special optimizations for their graphics cards.

As for whether the game is fun?

unimportant!
Nvidia quickly approached Chen Ba with a box of the latest 30 series graphics cards and made their request.

"Aha?"

Chen Ba, who inexplicably received a box of graphics card sponsorship, was a little confused: "Let us use the RTX ray tracing and AI technology platform to fully demonstrate the advantages of the platform?"

When did Lao Huang become so kind?
The graphics cards sent here are in short supply and cannot be found on the market, and the ones sent by Lao Huang are definitely not mining cards.

"Many players are paying attention to the Dream Builder 5 engine. The new engine has made great progress in game image quality."

Yang Dong said thoughtfully: ""Star Emperor" is one of the first games to be developed using the Dream Builder 5 engine, so it is normal for Nvidia to come here to gain popularity."

to be honest.

It doesn't matter whether the game is a piece of shit. What's important is that they want to use the game "Star Emperor" to promote their game graphics technology.

This is so common!

Game graphics technology requires the help of game developers to promote it. This is why Lao Huang likes to sponsor new games.

In addition, there is another hidden reason for special optimization for N cards to consolidate the existing game market share.

"Isn't it a coincidence!"

Xiao Lu chuckled and said: "Our new game focuses on high-quality graphics. If Lao Huang doesn't come to sponsor it, we have to optimize it for him."

"really!"

Chen Ba nodded.

Lao Huang still thinks too highly of Tianba Studio.Even if he doesn't send these graphics cards, Tianba Studio will still optimize the N card. After all, the market share of the N card is too high.

The Steam platform once conducted a statistical survey and wanted to know what computer configuration players are using to play games.

The results were surprising.

The graphics card with the highest proportion is actually the 1060 series released many years ago, and it is far ahead of No. 2. The player usage rate of N card is also far higher than that of A card.

In other words.

Today's PC games are basically dominated by N cards. There are only a few games. The A card experience will be better than N cards.

Tianba Studio wants to take advantage of the PC service. Even if it is reluctant, it has to hold its nose and optimize the N card, otherwise players will have to scold it.

However, if you can buy Lao Huang a box of graphics cards for free, and you can also use the rights to a large number of game graphics and AI technologies, this wave is still quite profitable.

Lao Huang, good buddy!

Chen Ba, who has always been very loyal, now that he has accepted Lao Huang's graphics card, he has to do things for him, otherwise he will have a guilty conscience when using this graphics card.

Lao Huang's request is also simple.

It’s nothing more than a technical demonstration during the promotion of the game “Star Emperor”, especially light chasing and image quality. It must be shown off!
Business is blowing each other!
You complimented me on my gaming skills, and I complimented you on your skills. They looked at each other and smiled, calling you the hero in the world, only to make you and Cao Er, leaving all the players looking at each other in confusion.

Coincidentally, Tianba Studio had planned to make a preview video of the "Star Emperor" game before the Spring Festival holiday.

Lao Huang came at the right time!
The video is actually a CG animation, not a live demonstration.

The game now only has a large frame and a few character models. It is definitely unrealistic to conduct a real-machine demonstration. Just use CG to arouse curiosity.

CG is produced by outsourcing companies.

The content is very simple. It mainly introduces the type of game, the background of the game, and highlights the main selling points of the game.

What is the selling point?
Of course, it uses the Dream Build 5 engine, the RTX platform technology, and the cool battle scenes created by the oriental fantasy fairy art design.

Because the game has just started, there are not many things to show, so the battle scenes that appear in CG only last about 10 seconds.

In these ten seconds, there is only one move!
The protagonist, Starry Sky Emperor, turns his back to all living beings and stands in the depths of the universe. He points forward and in an instant, infinite starlight gathers. Wherever the fingertips reach, the stars are annihilated...

This is a CG special effect, not a real game screen.

However, the Starry Sky Emperor does have such a skill, and in the imagination, the special effect of this skill is to gather starlight at the fingertips, so this CG is not considered fictional.

"Why are you turning your back to everyone?"

"You're stupid! We haven't shamed the Emperor of the Starry Sky yet. If we don't turn our backs to all living beings, won't the secret be revealed?"

Reaching out and knocking Xiao Lu's elm head, Chen Ba said with a speechless face: "I guess you still want to ask, where are the enemies of the Starry Sky Emperor?"

Forget it!
The face of the protagonist, Starry Sky Emperor, has not been pinched yet, and it is even less possible for other characters to "show their faces".

Just turn your back to everyone.

As long as you don't turn around, who would know that the majestic Emperor has no eyes, no mouth, and no nose?
The prototype of the game is like this.

After squeezing the character's face and perfecting the modeling, it's almost time to make a live demonstration video, in which all characters will show their faces.

As for early access to trial?

Facing a WeChat question from his good friend Wang Kun, Chen Ba thought about it and gave an extremely vague time.

"The earliest is summer, the latest is not sure, it could be autumn or next year..."
