YM778.TV Chapter 17
“Our company’s game development ability has greatly improved!”
A subordinate came to the director’s office and proudly reported the results of the company’s recent work.
However, the director was thinking about something else.
“Director? What’s the matter? Did you encounter any problems?”
The director said while shaking his head.
“It’s not something troublesome. I’m wondering if we should get someone from the technical department to decode the game’s underlying code and physics engine!”
“I believe that the reason the game can be so realistic and makes people feel like they’re living in the game.”
“It’s because the game used a better physics engine!”
The subordinate’s eyes lit up when he heard the director’s words. He knew that his opportunity to earn credit had come.
Hence, he immediately said, “Is there anything wrong with it? Since the producer released his game on Steam, our platform, the fact that the game is popular is related to the publicity our platform gave him.”
“We’re not going to copy his code. Our employees are just using it for reference.”
“Director, if you agree, I’ll talk to the technical department and ask them to send a few of the company’s top game developers to crack the game’s code!”
After thinking awhile, the director couldn’t resist the temptation of such a good opportunity and nodded in agreement.
Within two days, the senior Steam executives were shocked by the news from the technical department.
John was the chief researcher of the technical department, and many of the games developed by Steam were part of John’s efforts.
Meanwhile, John came to the company’s conference room with a few technicians.
“Hello, everyone. I’m John. I’m here to report a piece of crucial information that we just learned.”
As he spoke, John seemed in low spirits, and the dark circles under his eyes were evident as if he hadn’t slept for days.
“Get straight to the point.”
An executive said indifferently.
“Our recent research found that the popular game Zombie Apocalypse used a new physics engine, but there are more important things!”
“If the matter is just about the physics engine, I’m confident that our technical department will be able to crack the programming logic of the physics engine easily and use it in our game development.”
“However, the point is that we soon discovered that the programming logic used in the physics engine is something that has never appeared before!”
“To put it simply, the code used in the game is a new computer language!”
“For example, we use a binary language, but the game might use another number system. The key is that we can’t confirm its number system!”
John looked around and said guiltily.
“So, I’m very sorry, everyone. My technicians and I have been working hard all day and night, but we still haven’t cracked the underlying logic of the game’s physics engine.”
“Hence, we can only use the physics engine to develop our own game with the producer’s guidance!”
As soon as John finished his words, the conference room was completely silent.
Although Steam wasn’t as good as Storm Gaming Company in terms of game development technology and strength, it was still one of the top gaming companies in the world.
It was a company that gathered geniuses in game development around the world.
Even these geniuses couldn’t decode Zombie Apocalypse’s physics engine. Who was the producer of the game?
After John left, the atmosphere in the conference room gradually eased.
“Chief technology director, what should we do now? We can’t use the game’s physics engine right now. Our company will definitely be inferior to Storm Gaming Company if they master the technology before us!”
“President, I believe that the producer of Zombie Apocalypse is an employee of a company! He did this anonymously to cause chaos in the gaming industry.”
“That’s right. The current situation is extremely unfavorable to our company! If the producer is an employee of a company and the company has a new and more advanced physics engine, our company will be at risk!”
“Mr. President, I suggest we should find the game producer at all costs immediately. Or at least we should try to get in touch with him and learn more about him!”
“Let’s see who he is and whether he’s an employee of any game development company! The best situation is to invite him to join Steam!”
“In this situation, we’ll definitely be able to succeed the Storm Gaming Company in the gaming industry in the future!”
After a heated discussion at the meeting, the current Steam president issued a directive after assessing the advantages and disadvantages of the situation.
His directive was to do whatever it took to track down Zombie Apocalypse’s producer and learn who he was!
Even if the producer was an employee of a company, they had to do their best to win him over!
The same situation happened at many other game development companies.
As for small companies, they couldn’t directly contact the game producer.
As a result, Steam has recently received many applications, all of which were sent by game development companies seeking information about the producer.
However, the requests of these game development companies were all rejected!
Steam had already decided to recruit the producer to their company!
The same decision wasn’t just made by Steam.
The Storm Gaming Company, which recently suffered a significant loss from Apocalypse Tomorrow, was also attempting to contact the game producer with its wealth.
News from the Storm Gaming Company said that the top game development company had an internal meeting.
Storm Gaming Company even decided that no matter how big the production team of Zombie Apocalypse was or the price they would offer,
Storm Gaming Company would recruit the entire game production team to work for them at all costs!
The competition between the major game development companies was in full swing. However, Su Ping, the target of the major game development companies, was unaware of the circumstances.
He was in a good mood since the sales of Zombie Apocalypse had broken the record again!
