Chapter 234 Game Engine, Strategic Cooperation

Behind the press seat, more than a dozen cameras were set up. The staff of various TV stations also held long poles and brought the microphone as close as possible to the rostrum to record the clearest sound.

The center position with the best position is occupied by ATV, and the microphone with the ATV logo is placed directly on the rostrum. There are also security guards around the camera to protect them from being disturbed by the crowd.

This treatment...

Walker shook his head enviously. Fortunately, the Asian Wall Street Journal is also one of the most famous newspapers on the island, and they have freed up their seats alone and don't have to stand like everyone else.

After taking the seat, Walker took the opportunity of greeting his acquaintances and looked around and found that the media coming today were not just the dozens of them on the island, but also many economic and technological newspapers and magazines from Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and even Europe and the United States, with a total of less than 40 or 50!

With so many professional journalists coming, I think it is not just because of Taiyu. After all, the projects involved in Taiyu Technology are limited to arcades and can only be considered related to computers and electronics, and have not yet reached the point where professional media around the world are paying attention.

Most of them came because of Motorola.

This is the giant that stomps his feet and makes the global electronics industry tremble.

At about nine o'clock, the small door on the right side of the press room opened, and Mao Xiuliang, the current CEO of Taiyu Technology, walked out of the door with a smile. Behind him, followed by Motorola's chief representative in Asia, Sainsbury Giles, but his face was solemn and did not show his emotions, making it impossible for reporters to guess the possible direction of today's press conference with their expressions.

Countless flashes lit up quickly, increasing the brightness in the hall by an order of magnitude.

"Mr. Giles, Taiyu Company has terminated its four-year cooperation with your company this time. I wonder what Motorola plans to do?"

"Mr. Giles, in today's press conference, did the two companies announce a complete break?"

Dozens of reporters excitedly held up their microphones, trying to anger the other party with some unexpected scoops.

If the security guard hadn't acted fast and quickly set up a cordon, these reporters could have instantly submerged the two.

Giles had no expression on his face, his movements were neither fast nor slow, and he ignored the reporters around him.

Groups of photojournalists flocked forward, squatting or standing, and pressed the shutters at the two of them through the cordon, under the temptation of the security guards.

Mao Xiuliang lowered his head and whispered to Giles, as if he was giving in moderation. Giles raised his hand and made a gesture to ask him to invite him first. So Mao Xiuliang looked around on the rostrum, picked up the microphone with the ATV mark and turned on the switch.

"Thank you all the media friends for coming to this press conference. For your support, I would like to express my deep gratitude to Taiyu Technology..."

Mao Xiuliang began with a few humble words of greeting, and then went to the topic with the impatient expressions of all reporters: "Today's press conference is to clarify some of the previous rumors and misunderstandings between us and Motorola through various media.

First of all, we will tell you clearly that Taiyu Technology has not cancelled its cooperation with Motorola since the beginning.

The reason why 6502 is no longer used as the core processor of arcades is that with the advancement of semiconductor technology and the development of arcade games, this processor is no longer overwhelmed and cannot undertake more important core computing tasks, so a chip with stronger computing power is needed to replace it.

And we chose the actuarial processor.

At present, due to insufficient production capacity, this processor cannot be sold to the public for the time being. However, in the future, Taiyu and Motorola will jointly invest to build a new joint venture in Hong Kong to produce and sell this processor to meet the needs of all sectors of society…”

Wow!

As soon as Mao Xiuliang said this, a huge sensation was caused in the hall.

From this passage, people finally got a rough understanding of the ins and outs of this mysterious actuarial model. It turned out that this processor was jointly developed by Taiyu and Motorola, and the product code is mostly taken by Taiyu Technology, which has such distinct Chinese characteristics.

But the first problem is solved, and the next problem comes again: Who is the developer of actuarial type?

From the perspective of inertial thinking, everyone tends to think that the developer and manufacturer of processors are Motorola. Taiyu Technology may only be the investor and has put forward its own requirements on the computing power of the processor, but it does not have the ability to develop and produce it on its own.

Going further, when will the integrated circuit factory be built well, how much annual output will be, and how much price will be... Various subsequent problems have not decreased with the unveiling of the actuarial veil, but have become more and more.

Hundreds of reporters rushed to ask questions. In order for people on the stage to hear them, everyone asked questions with loud voices.

It’s a pity that Giles always has a poker face, with his hands crossed in front, turning a blind eye and hearing.

Mao Xiuliang seemed to have not heard the calls from the reporters, skipped this topic and went directly to the next content: "The second project to be announced today is led by us and Motorola, intending to establish a game alliance, which provides development software based on actuarial processors for companies willing to develop in-depth development with this processor as a platform on this basis.

Electronic games are a booming new industry, and it is definitely not enough to rely on our Taiyu Technology alone. As the saying goes, everyone can attract more and excellent game production companies to join in, produce more and more good games, and make this market more prosperous. This is our common wish.

In order to show that we sincerely support more peers to join, as long as we pay a reasonable fee, Taiyu Technology is willing to take out the game engine of "Street Warrior" to provide it to developers, and develop new fighting games on this basis..."

boom!

He could no longer say anything, and all the reporters rushed up like crazy. Everyone was opening and closing their mouths and saying something. The microphone in their hands was so eager to penetrate Mao Xiuliang's mouth.

More than a dozen security guards stood shoulder to shoulder in a row, bent their knees slightly, and pushed forward, but they could not stop them from squeezing forward little by little.

The reporters can't help but go crazy.

"Street Soldier" was launched for more than 20 days, and the thunder caused by the storm swept across the island and spread to a larger range with the ships of freighters.

Street Warrior is not the world's first fighting game, but it is definitely the most successful fighting game in the world to date!

Every player who has started playing will be fascinated by it and will forget to eat and sleep.

Its popularity has become a phenomenon and a hot topic in the social discussions of newspapers and media. From the seventy-year-old men to the young children, everyone knows it.

Professional media, newspapers, and magazines have written dozens of professional reports from the innovative improvement of fighting games, explaining the development of the game industry, software algorithms, etc. Non-related media people have written more articles from their gameplay, game modes, and even fighting combination skills, key problems, etc., and have published them in various professional or non-professional magazines, newspapers, and printed publications, thus supporting many people who make a living by writing articles.

Such a successful gaming software is simply a golden chicken that lays an egg. How is Taiyu Technology actually willing to sell it?

When they were sure that they had heard it correctly, it immediately triggered a huge commotion. Despite the security guard's obstruction, hundreds of people rushed forward together.

The surging crowd overturned the neatly arranged seats.

The reporter wanted to ask why Taiyu wanted to sell it, and those game industry practitioners wanted to ask when it would be sold, and some people asked what a game engine was. Everyone was shouting so loudly that no one could hear anyone's voice, and the scene was in chaos.

Mao Xiuliang, who was prepared, was frightened by this momentum and hurriedly answered some questions that everyone was concerned about with at the fastest speed of speaking.

Only then did everyone know what a game engine is.

The so-called engine is actually some well-written fixed function programs, such as AI algorithms, such as the judgment of fighting skills, etc.

In the past, developers started writing game software from the most basic programs, and developed all characters, scenes, and algorithms by themselves. This resulted in a very large workload. After writing, it would have to be debugged for a long time to find errors and patch them, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Sometimes, the game has not yet been launched, because others have developed the same game, players are tired of playing and the market has declined, and they have to stop research and development, causing huge losses to developers.

The game engine that Taiyu Technology agreed to sell is based on the game "Street Warrior", which separates its AI algorithm, intelligent judgment, script operation, etc., and leaves the corresponding program interface after packaging. When game developers get this engine, they do not need to develop it from the most basic level. They only need to change the appearance of the character and scene, and then hand over the core operation part to the engine to complete it, and then create a fighting game of the same level as "Street Warrior".

In terms of its development difficulty and speed, it is much faster and has fewer bugs!

After understanding Mao Xiuliang's explanation, everyone who wants to engage in game software development was very excited, which was tantamount to the greatest blessing.

As long as you purchase a game engine, even a person can complete simple tasks such as characters, scene maps, and level settings. As long as the characters are well balanced, it is not a problem to develop a very high-quality fighting game at all.

Taiyu Technology's move has restored vitality to the game software developers who have lost the market because of Taiyu's high-level games.

Many game development companies that are facing the threat of bankruptcy cannot help but feel grateful to Taiyu Company.

The pirates who temporarily closed down because of Taiyu's revision and could not get a new processor and could not steal the "Street Warrior" rulings dissipated from this.

Just say that Taiyu Company never eats alone, how can it completely cut off everyone's life?

As long as this game engine spreads, fighting games will show a scene of blooming flowers in the short term, and good games will emerge one after another. At that time, are you still afraid that there will be no good games that can be made?

And this is also the best time for their pirates to transform!

In the past, only Taiyu developed games. No matter how fun or excellent it was, compared with the global expanding game market, it was still too monotonous and too small in number.

Nowadays, there are more game developers, and the game software they have developed must be looking for hardware partners. In this way, can they pirated merchants take the opportunity to take advantage of this pirated merchant skin that everyone is calling for and transform into a regular game production company?

Thanks to Taiyu Technology, their contribution to the global gaming industry is so great!

Of course, while silently chanting the good of Taiyu Technology in their hearts, and combined with the previous news of selling processors, they immediately realized: This is actually another reshuffle!

Taiyu Technology has considerable voice for both processors and game engines.

Taiyu Technology can decide whoever it sells to and not to whom.

Therefore, by selectively selling processors and game engines, he can drive people who are dissatisfied with Taiyu Technology and have always been resentful from the global game market, leaving behind players who agree with Taiyu Technology's leadership and are willing to become an allies of Taiyu Technology, and ultimately achieve the goal of monopolizing the global game industry!

On the contrary, there are many more games on the market that are not developed by Taiyu Technology, but behind it, these games are actually twins derived from Taiyu Technology.

In this way, Taiyu Technology's monopoly position has not been reduced, but has become larger!

Insidious, so insidious!

While everyone was smiling and intending to please Taiyu Technology, they also knew very well that Taiyu Technology had finally changed from an ordinary game developer to an international giant in the game industry, and began to give up the monopoly method that others could see through at a glance, and began to use more secret methods to control the development of the industry, behind the scenes.

This is the trick used by those giants, and now Taiyu Technology has also learned it.

Mao Xiuliang responded to the inquiries of a group of people, and finally found an opportunity to announce the last and most important notice today: "The third thing in today's press conference is to ask all the media friends to announce one thing: that is, Taiyu Technology will reach a strategic alliance with Motorola on mobile communications and jointly develop wireless communication technology. To this end, we will jointly invest to establish a wireless communication equipment manufacturing base in Hong Kong..."

roar!

Bang!

He didn't have time to finish his words, and a sensational whistling sounded in the hall more than the previous two times. The chair that had just been helped was overturned again. Everyone didn't care about the chair that fell to the ground, and stepped on it and rushed forward, and many chairs were trampled apart.

The rostrum in front of Mao Xiuliang was lifted up at the first time, and then he felt as if he was surrounded by wild beasts. Countless reporters with red eyes shouted at him with ferocious faces, and saliva sprayed his face. The microphone in his hand kept poking around his face, and two microphones even hit his front teeth.

If the reporters felt crazy before, then they are completely crazy now. Not only the reporters are rushing up, but also the others next to them, whether men or women, all rush towards Mao Xiuliang with their teeth and claws.

A reporter who was squeezed to the ground didn't care about being stepped on a few steps. He used his hands and feet on the ground, rolled and crawled forward, shouting, and didn't know what he was saying.

A female reporter's originally dignified hairstyle was torn apart, and her eyeshadow and lipstick were painted in the crowd. She thrust her hair over, holding the microphone as if she was holding a blasting tube, and suddenly stabbed Mao Xiuliang's cheek, almost poking a few of his teeth off.

The violent form of the reporters was not only Mao Xiuliang was frightened and panicked, desperately tearing away their hands, trying to break through the siege. Even Giles, who was used to various big scenes, was scared to the point of being disgusted and didn't dare to say a word. Before the reporters rushed up, they turned their heads and ran back.
