"In the past, there were only MUD games like Jianghu. Now, your game is more than a leap forward in terms of effect. Both the graphics and content are amazing. How did you achieve such an effect by running it on a web page?"
Li Mingshi received a call from Xue Tao, the editor-in-chief of "Game World", who he was familiar with. Now Ling Yu had received good reviews in several newspapers and magazines related to computer games. The newspapers also published some players' experiences. Some people were so strange that even if they could not play the game themselves, they felt doubly excited when reading other people's travel notes and experiences in the game. Xue Tao told him that the sales of the two issues of the magazine had clearly shown an upward peak, and the editors in the editorial department were all competing to play Ling Yu.
"If it's a secret, then of course there's no need to tell it." Xue Tao sensed Li Mingshi's hesitation. Since others had concerns, it would be difficult for him to make a direct breakthrough.
After hanging up the phone, Li Mingshi looked at the seven or eight magazines and newspapers in front of him. He bought all the books related to the CQ virtual community spiritual realm.
Flipping through a few pages, you'll find that some of the magazines are novels written by players about the Spirit Realm, some are strategy guides, life skills, monster-killing tips, and money-making guides. These days, most people buy gaming magazines for these reasons.
Li Mingshi looked at the "Popular Software" in his hand. Most magazines like "Game World" only publish new experiences of players, but Daruan is different. It is more professional and faces many Internet game IT practitioners. Therefore, some letters contain a lot of professional opinions, which is what Li Mingshi pays more attention to. In the game rankings that Daruan almost represents Chinese game players at this time, Lingyu ranked ninth in the voting last month. In this ranking list full of strong players, it is an extremely remarkable concept to be able to enter the top ten. Below Lingyu are "Resident Evil 2", "Football 99", "Xuanyuan Sword III", "Final Fantasy 7", and ahead of Lingyu are "The Legend of the Jin Yong", "Uncharted Waters IV", "Diablo" and other god-level existences.
At this time, a lot of relevant content was posted on the Lingyu page.
"I believe that everyone who has played Lingyu games will be amazed by its graphical performance that is no less than that of client-side games. The key is that you can play it anytime and anywhere by simply opening the web page. This is really powerful. Lingyu can be said to have single-handedly blazed a new trail in domestic graphic mud games." A netizen named "Mr. Z" commented.
"I am in the gaming industry, and we have thought about making multiplayer online web games, but we have tried our best and still cannot achieve such an effect, and we are far from it. CQ's technology is so powerful. I used to think it was just a communication software, but I didn't expect them to be so great in community and games." Netizen "Long Shenghua".
"Do you know what I care about most? CQ doesn't seem to be short of money, because when I was experiencing the game, except for switching maps and loading, it was not as laggy as I imagined, which means that their investment in the server must be huge. It seems that CQ company has a strong backing..." Netizen "A Tadpole".
Looking at these, some comments made him feel interesting, while others made him think. After finishing the coffee on the table, Li Mingshi logged into the development technology section of Shuimu BBS. He had a very powerful senior account there, and every time he showed up, someone would ask him about CQ-related matters.
Of course, this time is no exception. On the post that Li Mingshi posted some time ago, some people posted comments below. Some praised their Lingyu as the best, and some asked about Lingyu's current revenue. But without exception, they praised. On this kind of forum, everyone is gentle, respectful, frugal and modest, especially Li Mingshi, who led CQ to achieve results. He is everyone's idol.
Many people are speculating about the technology they use. Some have guessed that they use an underlying core architecture technology that is completely different from all current ideas, which is why they are able to present such a unique visual effect.
In fact, the other party guessed correctly.
Although the overall architecture of the Lianzhong platform is based on the /s structure and developed by dirtx, Cheng Ran and his team originally did this in order to be able to copy the board game one day. Therefore, Cheng Qi's technical partner Ren Qi has long been studying a game development engine based on browser technology in order to be able to run an online game like Three Kingdoms.
This process was a process of constant attempts. In the beginning, Ren Qi worked alone. Later, CQ and Lianzhong joined forces. After they opened up the Ren and Du meridians, they began to improve the engine based on the virtual community.
This is the platform technology based on the FanyBox plug-in, internally called the FanyBox engine. The principle is to call the FanyBox plug-in through Js to achieve amazing image processing effects on web pages.
Li Mingshi and Ren Qi's teams worked together to tackle the problem and finally perfected the FanyBox system. They then built CQ's virtual community based on this system and launched online games.
Cheng Ran called the FanyBox engine "black technology", and Li Mingshi also thought this term was quite interesting. So in the future, CQ and Lianzhong will continue to create new "black technology" and release it to bombard the outside world from time to time.
After all, the title of "Hero Li" is well-deserved.
The power of the FanyBox engine used to create Spirit Realm is that it has achieved what no one else can do currently: it allows large-scale PC game content to run smoothly on the web, without compromising image quality. Not only can the PC game be run as a web game, but they also share the same server for real-time online connection.
So the epoch-making evaluation in the computer magazine is not without basis, because no one can do it at present, it is groundbreaking, and has never been seen before.
All this was achieved through the joint efforts of CQ and the Lianzhong platform, which had previous experience in game design.
Seeing people's praises in magazines and BBSs, the street opposite the CQ office was crowded with people, the sunlight was cut by the trees and fell on the ground, making it difficult for people to open their eyes. Away from the powerful people on the Internet and the noise of online games, Li Mingshi felt as if he had been thrown back into the world again, and that sense of unreality resurfaced.
The reason for doing such a thing was that I believed the words of a sixteen-year-old student.
This student supported Lianzhong and created CQ himself, and then combined the two to accumulate impressive technical strength. This "black technology" stirred up the outside world and disturbed their world, which was just an inconspicuous wave or small ant in this wave.
After seeing the magazine's evaluation of "epoch-making" and "the first domestically-made graphical MUD", Li Mingshi realized that CQ could actually be considered the number one software of its kind.
Will these firsts be drowned by the chaos of the times in the future, or will they always leave some marks? Li Mingshi even had a little extravagant thought... Will they be recorded in history
…
There will be winds and waves. Even the calmest sea will give you temporary joy, but then it may turn into strong winds and huge waves.
What's more, the CQ ship, which was riding the tide of the times, also suffered an unexpected capsize due to the popularity of Lingyu games.
Yubi announced that it would upgrade its distribution channels and cooperate with the software vendor Zhima Kaimen, which is cheaper but has a larger distribution channel, to upgrade its distribution channels. The upgraded channels can effectively fight against the threat of piracy. After all, Zhima Kaimen can buy genuine products at a very low price, eliminating the various problems of installing pirated products. At the same time, Yubi also informed CQ that after the channel upgrade, Yubi, which has a larger distribution platform, needs to re-establish the rules. If CQ wants to integrate into this system, not only will the profit ratio change, but Yubi is also willing to discuss further cooperation matters.
Yu Bi's sudden defection caught the CQ and Lianzhong groups off guard.
Even the other party's proposal to acquire Lingyu Games, or to acquire shares in CQ by taking advantage of its distribution channels, alarmed Cheng Ran from No. 10 Middle School.
In the second update, I will release the prototype of the CQ Lingyu game on the official account.
You can go and see what kind of "black technology" the web games based on the FanyBox engine were at that time.
