Chapter 6 World Editor

Chen Tiancai is thoroughly familiar with the history of game development

However, there are risks associated with game development, and sometimes the pursuit of profit by the company can easily conflict with oversight

Regardless of how the world editor creates games, artistic and musical materials do not appear out of thin air, and Chen Tiancai is not skilled in these two areas

However, he still managed to contain his excitement and confirmed:

I am very satisfied

They not only pioneered a great series, but also produced works that have become milestones in the history of gaming

White Cloud

Chen Tiancai swallowed the bun in his mouth and replied, "I have learned quite a lot and am ready to start. I was just thinking about whether I should resign and focus on making games"

Beach

As the name suggests, it is a tool that allows one to edit the world, and for every player, isn't each game just a brand new world?

In this case, the work that Chen Tiancai has to undertake is similar to the supervision of a large studio

Meanwhile, the originally flat blue screen began to tilt, creating a sense of three-dimensionality

The experiment had reached this point when Chen Tiancai began to feel somewhat fatigued. Upon checking the time, he realized it was already 3:50 AM.

Supervision generally does not participate in specific development work, but rather provides the development direction of the game, guidance during the development process, and is also responsible for the final modification direction after the game is completed, which may even include promotional operations

What is the feeling of a young boy who has just started a relationship with the girl he likes

The light cluster remained brightly illuminated for a while, as if in contemplation, and then responded:

Father Chen's expression turned serious as he looked at his son and asked earnestly, "Do you really want to make games?"

A vast lake, within which a large fish is swimming in and out of the water's surface

I can help you with the game

Moreover, even if the game is completed, you still have to upload it to the real network; otherwise, how can you sell it to make a profit

However, this behavior is certainly also driven by interests, but Chen Tiancai feels that it is already quite remarkable to take this step

Mr. Chen set down his chopsticks, glanced at his son who appeared distracted, and said: "Is it about the game? You have been at the game company for six months; what experience have you gained?"

Blue sky

This sentence struck Chen Tiancai's heart like a spring thunderclap

Yes, and *illustrated* books!" Chen Tiancai nodded, his gaze very resolute

... ...

"What are you thinking about?" Mr. Chen, sitting opposite his son, asked as he noticed his son's distracted expression

The world editor can clearly solve the significant issue of programming code; as for art and music, it can completely outsource to game developer forums. At that time, it will be a matter of ensuring quality control.

The world editor is indeed very user-friendly. After experimenting with it last night, Chen Tiancai feels that it is far more advanced than game engines. At the very least, it eliminates the gap of programming code, functioning entirely like a canvas, allowing him to create freely

Chen Tiancai is certainly satisfied; his original plan was to start coding intensively and create his own game. This path will not yield any results for at least a year.

Sitting at the dining table, Chen Tiancai was gnawing on a bun and sipping porridge, beginning to contemplate whether he should resign and focus on making games

Yes, and it is even smarter. You can create games just like building blocks. It also supports manual operation, as well as voice or agent operation.

"Do not interrupt." Mr. Chen, with an air of authority at home, silenced his wife's complaints

Many international major companies regard their game engines as the core of competition in the publishing and book industry, and they fundamentally do not release public versions for others to use

Hideo Kojima ultimately left Konami due to conflicts, and the Metal Gear series he created does not belong to him; he could only present the controversial "Death Stranding"

At the very least, the surge in single-player game development in the country over the past two years is entirely attributable to the contributions of virtual engines

What is the feeling of a child who has received a toy they have long desired

This more complex command did not stump the world editor, as everything that appeared on the blue screen acted according to Chen Tiancai's instructions

Is it similar to a game engine

At that moment, Chen's mother entered the dining room with a bowl in hand and happened to overhear Chen Tiancai expressing his desire to resign. She interjected with some irritation, saying: "I originally thought of sending you to a gaming company, but it sounds like you're not being serious about your career. As expected! You don't even want to work now. After playing for twenty years, isn't that enough? How much more time do you want to waste on this?"

What can the World Editor do?" Chen Tiancai immediately asked

The immense fatigue caused him to yawn several times, and he soon fell into a deep sleep

Ah! It's nothing. Chen Tiancai came back to his senses and took a sip of the thin rice porridge

What about the mode of network interaction? How does it interact with the real network and books, considering that a lot of data needs to be transferred between them? Chen Tiancai thought of a blind spot and immediately asked, which is also the most important question

Pah! Share happiness

Of course, this will be a bit slower, the light cluster added

Smart Assistant

If the other roles involved in game development are referred to as soldiers, then supervision is akin to that of a general

The world editor can interact with the real network, and in order to avoid interfering with the networks around you, it can adopt a standardized approach

With a thought from Chen Tiancai, a pale blue orb of light appeared in the upper right corner of his field of vision

Hello, how may I assist you? A pale blue orb flickered a few times, and a clear, childlike voice rang out, appearing very well-behaved

World Editor

Chen Tiancai smiled faintly upon hearing this. His mother had always been like this; in fact, if he were to stand his ground, she would most likely let go. Therefore, he did not mind her nagging at all.

Chen Tiancai excitedly attempted to input some commands, and then three-dimensional representations of these objects began to appear on the world editor. However, the representations of these objects were somewhat rigid, resembling bricks assembled together.

The next morning, after being awakened by the alarm clock, Chen Tiancai found that his energy was quite abundant, and he did not experience any aftereffects of his cultivation.

However, such positions only appear in Japan, where the single-player game industry is relatively developed, and the supervisor is also referred to as a "star producer"

Even so, game engines require a significant amount of time to learn

Tide

Chen Tiancai almost jumped out of bed upon realizing this point

It is roughly similar to the current Chen Tiancai

Moreover, many supervisors are the writers of the game text, or in other words, the supervisors are the brains of the development team

Upon considering this, Chen Tiancai felt that Company E still had some merits, as it consistently made its virtual engine available to the public and even vigorously promoted it in its own marketplace

Although Hidetaka Miyazaki does not have any major events, he is always fluctuating on and off the pedestal, which must be quite exhausting

World Editor

After all, coding a few megabytes is relatively easy, but dealing with several gigabytes of code is not the kind of work that should be pursued in an era focused on efficiency

Hideo Kojima, Hidetaka Miyazaki, Eiji Aonuma, and others are star producers

Early games were also the result of lines of code pieced together. It was not until the advent of the 3D era, following technological innovations, that game engines were created as a framework, significantly reducing the time required to develop games
