After the term sandbox game was established, the Williams couple were also very concerned about it. It happened that Ken Williams proposed to adapt "The Martian" into a game. The two of them thought about it and came up with the idea of ​​a sandbox game.
Roberta believes that whether it is "The Legend of Zelda" or "The Sims", these games cannot actually represent sandbox games in the true sense because the degree of freedom of these games does not meet the requirements.
A true sandbox game is to throw a world to the player, then throw in a set of logic, and then no other framework is placed, allowing the player to play freely in the game world.
The technical requirements for making this kind of game are not low. If it were a few years ago, even if you wanted to make this kind of game, you would not be able to do it because the technology is not up to it. This kind of game with a high degree of freedom requires particularly high computing power.
Yu Dong pondered for a while and said, "Since you have such an idea, you can also try it. Maybe you can make an excellent game. If your idea is better, I will definitely consider making "The Martian"
The rights to adapt the game are given to you."
Roberta sighed slightly, "The idea is good, but it is more difficult to implement."
"Is it because the current technology cannot meet the requirements?" Yu Dong asked.
"The technology is achievable, but if you want to achieve the effect we just described, the workload is too much. If you want to build a camp, there are too many types of materials and the shapes are very complex. Even if the computing power can support it, we can't
It is impossible to complete the design of these items. If it is some special buildings, it will be even more difficult."
Yu Dong nodded, probably understanding the problem Roberta said.
He pondered again and began to recall the sandbox games he had seen, and then he thought of "Minecraft". The degree of freedom of this sandbox game is definitely one of the best.
So how does "Minecraft" solve this problem?
Soon, Yu Dong raised his eyebrows. The way "Minecraft" solves problems is to simplify them. The makers of the game never thought about making complicated accessories, but directly used pixel blocks instead.
Although the pixel blocks look a bit rough, they perfectly solve the problem of construction and are a method of taking retreat to advance.
Pixels can be pieced together to form anything, and on the other hand, as long as there are enough pixel blocks, the building can be made "high-definition".
After thinking of a solution, Yu Dong didn't say anything immediately. He just smiled and said to Roberta, "Don't rush to deny this plan, you can always find a way to solve the problem. Let's think about it again in the next few days and see if
I can find a good solution and sort out my previous thoughts. When I leave the United States soon, we can hold a meeting to discuss this game. Maybe this game can really be made. If there is hope, please hurry up.
Set up a studio specifically to produce this game."
"No problem." Ken Williams nodded, but he didn't take Dong's words seriously. He didn't think that the problem the couple faced could be solved by having a meeting together in a few days.
Before Yu Dong came, they had been thinking about it for a long time. But since Yu Dong said this, they had to give face.
…
At noon, the four of them had a meal together, and then Yu Dong said goodbye to the Williamses and headed to the city center.
On the way, Cheng Yanqiu asked curiously, "Looking at your expression today, it seems that you have already thought of a solution to their game problem. Why didn't you say anything?"
Hearing this, Yu Dong laughed. It seemed that it was quite difficult for him to hide his thoughts in front of Cheng Yanqiu. He originally thought that he managed his expression well, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yanqiu would see through it at a glance.
"There are indeed some ideas, but they are not yet mature. In addition, their own ideas are relatively scattered. I want to let them integrate them first, and then I will go back and sort out my own ideas, and then touch on them later.
It’s better than chatting aimlessly today.”
Cheng Yanqiu nodded suddenly, "It makes sense, but I think Ken Williams doesn't seem to be taking it too seriously. When the time comes, he may not be ready when you meet again."
"I know that Ken doesn't care much about this matter. He has actually given this idea a death sentence, but his wife Roberta will definitely be attracted to it. Roberta is obviously more passionate and more passionate about game production than her husband.
I have an idea. Ken is better at running the company, so I plan to set up a studio in Xueleshan in the future and let Roberta take charge of the studio and be responsible for making games. Ken can safely do the game publishing and operate the space platform.
"
Cheng Yanqiu said with a smile, "It's a good division of labor. Although you always say you don't participate in the company's management, you still worry about the company's management from time to time."
Yu Dong shrugged his shoulders, "I can't help it. I'm used to it. Jimmy and Yuliang always come to ask me for my opinion. As time goes by, I'm used to thinking about these things."
Speaking of Jimmy, Cheng Yanqiu asked curiously, "Jimmy invites us to dinner tonight, will Britney definitely come?"
"He didn't say it directly, but his meaning was very obvious. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to invite us to dinner. Jimmy has been talking to his celebrity girlfriend for a long time, and it's time for us to meet."
Cheng Yanqiu said with a smile, "From your tone, it sounds like you are meeting relatives and friends."
"We are almost like friends."
Jimmy is a single-parent family, with only his mother alive. Moreover, his mother now lives in Spain, and they rarely see each other. Once before, Yu Dong heard Jimmy say that it seemed that his mother got married again in Spain and divorced not long after.
When she got married, whether it was marriage or divorce, her mother called him to tell him, but she didn't invite him over.
There are other relatives who seldom move around. This situation is actually quite common in the United States. At Jimmy's age, if he has not married, not many of them need to move around.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jimmy is also a lively person, so he spends the Spring Festival in China every year, either at his employer or in the countryside where he often goes.
Once before, Jimmy took Spielberg and a few of them to the countryside where he often went.
If Jimmy and Britney are in a relationship, if it becomes public later, some people will definitely criticize Jimmy. After all, there is a big age gap between the two, and when the two started falling in love, Britney was probably not even eighteen yet.
.
The old cow eats young grass, and the young grass he eats is "Xiao Tiantian", which is popular all over the world. It is impossible not to want to be scolded. But based on Jimmy's psychological quality, no matter how others scold him, it will not do anything to him.
Influence.
Britney should be regarded as a child star. When she was ten years old, she officially started her acting career after participating in the youth talent show "Mickey Mouse Club" organized by Disney Channel.
At the beginning of last year, she released her first music album "Baby Baby One More Time" and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Singer for this album, but she did not win either award in the end.
Although Britney didn't win the award in the end, the album sold very well. Its sales absolutely surpassed all other albums released in the same period that year. It topped the Billboard 200 album chart in the first week of its release and continued to do so for six consecutive weeks.
At the top position.
One month after the album was released, it was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
It has been a year and a half since the album was released, and the album has sold more than 10 million copies.
Britney has been on a world tour since last year. She was photographed in China before, and some people asked her if she was planning to hold a concert in China.
It can be said that this album alone made her a pop superstar. Now if she walks on the streets of the United States with a microphone and randomly interviews ten teenagers, it is estimated that nine of these ten teenagers will know her.
Sometimes Yu Dong is also curious, when did Jimmy come into contact with Britney and get together. If they met within the past two years, would Britney be so busy, still have time to fall in love with Jimmy?
If it was two years ago, Britney would have been too young.
…
Jimmy arranged to have dinner at a restaurant that specializes in Shanghai cuisine. The name of the restaurant is also very straightforward, called "Shanghai, Shanghu".
The reason why he chose this restaurant was, on the one hand, because Jimmy wanted to invite Yu Dong to try authentic Shanghainese cuisine in Los Angeles, USA, and on the other hand, it was also because it was really hard to find a restaurant with private rooms.
In fact, the latter one is the main reason. After all, Yu Dong doesn't particularly want to eat authentic Shanghainese food in Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles, it is not easy to find a restaurant with private rooms, because most Western restaurants do not have private rooms. But Chinese restaurants are different. Many Chinese restaurants will set aside several rooms for private rooms.
Americans are not used to eating in private rooms. Some people are even very disgusted with such things as private rooms, thinking that private rooms are a very dark place that hides dirt and evil.
Jimmy has been in China for so many years, and has become accustomed to having a private room for meals. Especially in today's situation, it is more private to book a private room.
When Yu Dong and the others arrived in the box, Jimmy and Britney were each holding a handheld game player, and the sound effects sounded like Pokemon.
Seeing the two people having fun, Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu looked at each other and smiled. They didn't expect that Jimmy and Britney were playing handheld devices together.
"Ahem." Yu Dong coughed lightly.
This cough attracted the attention of Jimmy and Britney. They immediately looked up and put down their mobile phones when they saw Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu.
"You guys are here." Jimmy smiled and took Britney to introduce to Yu Dong, "This is my girlfriend, Britney. Britney, the two of you here..."
Britney interrupted Jimmy's introduction with a smile, "Jimmy, no introduction is needed, of course I know them. YU and Cheng, a great writer and a pianist. I think there are not many people who don't know them, right?"
The Britney standing next to Jimmy is very different from the Britney who appears on TV. She only wears light makeup and looks younger than she looks on TV.
A white T-shirt with a space printed on the chest, a pair of blue jeans, and a pair of canvas shoes are what pop star Britney wears every day, and they are no different from the ordinary girl next door.
Looking at Jimmy again, I have to say that Jimmy seems to have become a little younger recently.
Jimmy had gained some weight before, which was not surprising for a forty-year-old man. However, due to the weight gain and lack of maintenance, his whole body looked a bit rough.
But things are different now. First of all, his body has lost a lot of weight, and his face is clean and tidy. No one would doubt that he is in his early thirties. Moreover, Jimmy himself is quite good-looking.
Whether in China or the United States, they all have the kind of appearance that conforms to public aesthetics.
Seeing Jimmy in this state, Yu Dong couldn't help but sigh, the power of love is really powerful, it can change people so easily.
Britney is a very lively girl. From the time Yu Dong and the others entered the box and sat down, her mouth never stopped talking.
She talked about many topics, from the sky to the underground, from the Antarctic to the North Pole, from Yu Dong to Cheng Yanqiu, and from herself to Jimmy.
There was no need for them to ask, Britney herself told her story about her encounter with Jimmy as if she were pouring beans through a bamboo tube.
Jimmy and her met at the record company more than two years ago. At that time, Britney and other people in the studio were already worrying about the album. Although their studio received a lot of support, this support was limited after all.
, sometimes we encounter some difficulties that are difficult to overcome.
When Jimmy heard that they were in trouble, he helped out with some small help.
Jimmy's help was very important to Britney. She would express her gratitude every time she saw Jimmy, and the two became familiar with each other over time.
What happened next was not too complicated. Britney fell in love with Jimmy and took the initiative to confess her love to Jimmy, and then Jimmy agreed.
After listening to the two people's stories, Yu Dong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Based on his understanding of Jimmy, the reason why this guy helped Britney and the others back then was probably not because he liked the girl, but because he felt that they
A few of them are quite talented, so I wanted to do a small favor and get some good karma. Maybe if these next few people become popular, he can be rewarded.
But Jimmy never expected that his gang would help him get a girlfriend.
It may be because of her young age, or it may be because of her original personality. Britney seems to be relatively innocent, unguarded against people, and even a bit unobtrusive.
This is in great contrast to Jimmy. Jimmy is a person whose heart is full of thoughts. When he talks to people, few people can tell the truth from the lies.
Yu Dong has been with Jimmy for so many years, and he thinks he knows Jimmy better, but if Jimmy wants to trick him, he can't tell the difference.
