"Ming, how’s that graphics rendering you’re working on?"
"Almost there."
"Liu Lang, what about the program launch?"
"It’ll be done today."
In a boys’ dormitory at Mist City Arts and Science University, seven or eight male students were gathered in the room, each with a computer, busily working on a small ga.
"Brother Gou, do you think our ga could win a prize?"
Suddenly, soone asked.
"I can’t guarantee we’ll win for sure, but our ga ’Big White’s Great Escape’ will definitely generate so buzz," Pei Gou said with a laugh.
"Well, Brother Gou, our ga is indeed gaining popularity, hahaha."
"If the prize money is ten thousand yuan, and there are eight of us, how much would each person get?"
"Liu Lang, aren’t you being a bit shortsighted? All you can see is the ten thousand yuan prize? Didn’t you notice Principal Ding’s support for the winning team? With Principal Ding’s support, we’ll be on the fast track to success."
"What do you an?"
"Look, those students from the film and television academy, and Lin Zhirou and Jia Wenbo from the art departnt, and even the students from the chanical engineering departnt, haven’t they all been doing better and better after receiving Principal Ding’s support?"
"Makes sense! We could ask Principal Ding to invest in us to make a bigger ga in the future."
"Yes, we could create a AAA-level dostic masterpiece!"
"Give it a rest, a AAA-level dostic masterpiece, made by just us few?"
So people were full of enthusiasm, but so were more skeptical. After all, producing a AAA-level dostic masterpiece was not sothing a few people could easily achieve.
"Actually, what I really want to do is not just one or two gas. I want to create our own ga engine," Pei Gou said seriously.
"Brother Gou, creating a ga engine? Like the Unreal engine? That’s an incredibly huge project and involves various complex technologies." Zhang Tianming said with a sigh after hearing this.
"It’s the difficulty that makes it challenging," Pei Gou said confidently.
Pei Gou had thought that after he graduated and had achieved sothing, he would join a good gaming company and then create a top-level ga engine for Xia Country, just like the Unreal engine!
"Brother Gou, your ambition is impressive. My aspirations aren’t so high. I’d consider myself lucky just to join a decent ga design team," said Xu Hong, shaking his head.
"By the way, where do you all want to work after graduation?"
Suddenly soone brought up this question.
"Go...sigh, working in the gaming division of Penguin would be nice enough."
"Wow, aiming for Penguin’s gaming division? That’s not easy."
"Doesn’t anyone want to join Web Depression?"
"How about Perfect World?"
"Blizzard would be good too."
"Why don’t you just say you want to join Nintendo!"
"Hahaha, I’d rather go to Ubisoft."
"Stop just drinking, eat so peanuts."
"Alright, let’s get back to work. We only have three more days. How are we supposed to compete if we can’t even produce a ga?"
Pei Gou urged his team mbers to get back to work.
Even though they were making a small ga using existing code structures, it had to be good enough to compete with the gas from other teams.
Rember, there were more than twenty teams participating in this school-hosted ga design competition.
With so many competing teams, a stand-out ga had to have sothing special.
For the ga concept, Pei Gou had an idea inspired by Big White, a character related to their school.
The ga concept was also inspired by the popular movie "Super Combat Team." One of the reasons Pei Gou chose to make a ga based on Big White was because a friend of his and a mber of their team, Xu Hong, was part of Feiyue Animation Studio and a student of animation design and production at Mist City Arts and Science University.
Xu Hong was essentially the "auxiliary force" of their team.
Such "auxiliary force" was allowed under the competition rules, so Pei Gou thought it would make sense to use so of the original drawings and graphic resources from Feiyue Animation Studio as the base for their ga.
Thus, the the of the ga was decided to be "Big White."
Next, Pei Gou and his teammates decided to make the ga an adventure runner with a "sci-fi" tone and a shooting elent.
And so, "Big White’s Great Escape" was born, with Pei Gou leading his team in the developnt.
Since the competition schedule was seven days, and the school had asked for small gas, there should be no problem completing the task on ti for competent student teams.
On the last day of the competition, the day the team submissions were due, only thirteen of the more than twenty student teams successfully submitted a product.
The next morning.
When Ding Yue arrived at his office, Jian Zihao called him to report on the specifics of the campus ga design competition.
"Principal Ding, we had twenty-seven student teams sign up for the competition, each team ranging from five to ten mbers. But as of midnight yesterday, we only received products from thirteen teams."
