Spring Festival, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

During this year's Spring Festival, Chen Mo did not play a pit dad game, but honestly stayed at home.

Although the kinship in Chen Mo's family is relatively simple, and there are not so many seven aunts and eight aunts who need to move around, this Spring Festival is still very busy.

But now there is a good thing, everyone has switched to communication software to greet the New Year, and it saves so much trouble. Instead of running a big vision, it is better to send a red envelope in the group or in a private chat.

Chen Mo also sent a bunch of red envelopes, three in the chat group of the big guy designer, five in the employee group of Thunder Games, and ten in the player group.

By the way, as the official identity of Thunder Games, I also held a lottery on Weibo, and all kinds of sunshine and lottery made everyone have fun.

These are not much money for Chen Mo, anyway, for the New Year, they want to have fun, especially those sent to the player group, which can be regarded as taking from the people and using them for the people?

Ahem, it doesn't seem appropriate to say that, it should be said that the wool comes from the sheep.

Chen Mo sighed with emotion: "Hey, it's rare to see a good designer like me, I lost so many red envelopes to players during the Chinese New Year." ”

Of course, the game committee also wanted to be interesting, Chen Mo sent red envelopes to Qiao Hua, Zhang Zhongxiang and several other more familiar game committee leaders, but the money was not much, only 666 yuan.

As a result, they were all rejected.

Qiao Hua replied: "I understand Mr. Chen's intentions, but this money can't be collected, and the recent investigation has been strict." ”

Chen Mo was also speechless, he deliberately didn't stuff too much money, but as a result, there was still a risk of bribery for this special 666 yuan?

As a result, Qiao Hua changed hands and sent a red envelope: "This is a wish to Mr. Chen, have a good New Year." ”

Chen Mo opened it and saw that it was six pieces and six cents.

Chen Mo: "......"

In an instant, there is a feeling of returning to the group of relatives, and the red envelopes are sent according to three digits, but unfortunately there is often a decimal point after the first number.

The two chatted a few more words, and Qiao Hua said, "By the way, there may be a special task for you after the year, do you want to prepare in advance?" ”

"Special mission?" Chen Mo was stunned.

The last "Dark Souls" was actually a special mission, mainly tailored for the Pangu engine. As for the completion, the game committee should still be relatively satisfied, although it seems a bit cheating at first, but even TGN's game of the year has been won, which is enough to prove that this game is a hanging bomb.

Qiao Hua sent a voice message: "That's right, you also know that VR games have always been closely related to the exercises and training of the troops. In fact, after the Pangu engine was developed, the top was already urging this matter. Now everyone has seen the effect of the Pangu engine, which is very good, so I think I will definitely have to bring up this matter again in the next year. ”

"VR games are actually used in all industries, especially in the military. There have long been some VR platform FPS games for military training abroad, and there are also domestic ones, but the overall situation is relatively backward and not particularly satisfactory. ”

"So, it's possible to make an FPS game, are you interested in this? If you want to talk about FPS games, you have also done "Overwatch", although it is a future theme, but after all, it is also one of the three major FPS games in China, and it is not a big problem to make another one, right? ”

Chen Mo thought about it for a while and replied: "I can do it, but I don't know the specific requirements." As long as you're not dancing in shackles, it's fine. To be honest, I'm good at making a game that players like, but I'm not sure how to make a game that satisfies the leaders. ”

Qiao Hua sent another voice: "Don't worry, most of the leaders of the game committee are still more optimistic about you, after all, there is "Dark Souls", although these leaders don't particularly like this game, but getting the TGN game of the year is enough to explain the problem." ”

"This FPS game won't give you too many restrictions, but you also have to remember that this is not only a game for players, but also for military exercises, at least to help the training of soldiers, like Overwatch, it doesn't make much sense."

Indeed, no one's army training can play a Genji gilt wah in a VR game.

Chen Mo replied: "Okay, I understand." Minister Qiao, you go back and send me the specific request again, and I will consider it. ”

The two chatted again, and Chen Mo also used his authority as an S-level designer to check some information.

In the parallel world, VR games are widely used in various fields, which Chen Mo has known for a long time. It is precisely because of the important role of VR games that it has been paid so much attention by various countries, causing the status of the game industry to rise, and a special game committee has been established to manage it.

FPS games, that is, shooting games, have always been a very popular category in VR games, closely related to the military field.

In fact, all countries have similar projects, which specifically organize soldiers to conduct actual combat training in VR games, and through the simulation of VR games, soldiers can be exposed to a more dangerous environment without worrying about any casualties.

Of course, there is still a big gap between VR in the parallel world and the real real world, but these gaps are gradually narrowing.

Especially in the FPS field.

Compared to other game genres, FPS games require much less character action, so they are closer to reality when made.

At present, the other two popular FPS games in China, "Fire Assault" and "Wolf Soul", in fact, many of the game content in them are specially customized by the army to complete special training activities.

Although marksmanship in VR games is not exactly the same as marksmanship in reality, soldiers can still exercise many things in the game, such as reflexes, awareness, teamwork, and so on.

However, both games are some years old after all, and after the development of the Pangu engine, a better FPS game is also needed.

Of course, there is no very clear, uniform standard for how to do this type of game.

If it is only for soldier exercises, it must be made into a large-scale real gun simulator, which can best ensure the training effect.

But the problem is that the R&D funds for a VR game can easily exceed 100 million yuan, and the game committee will not pay this money for the game company......

Therefore, for game companies, the first thing is to make FPS games that players like, and they must first ensure that the investment in the game itself can be recovered, and they can't lose money to please the leader, which is a bit too expensive, not to mention that the effect is not necessarily good.

On the premise of ensuring that the game makes money, make the game as realistic as possible, and the gameplay can help the training of soldiers, and it is enough.

Of course, this task will definitely not be assigned to Chen Mo alone, Qin Xiao, the designer of "Wolf Soul", and Ran He, the designer of "Fire Assault", also received this task.

After all, there are only three of them who are the top FPS game designers in China.

However, it's hard to say whether these two people will accept it, after all, they are designers under Imperial Dynasty Mutual Entertainment and Zen Mutual Entertainment, and it is not all up to them to decide what projects they want to develop.
