Chapter 24

Such a feeling was not wrong; with a size of over 50M, it was already quite good to be able to do everything inside the spacecraft.

However, Zhang Ye realized a mistake. When he was leisurely taking his time without the ten-minute limit, time was still passing and being calculated.

So when the ten-minute time limit arrived, the character controlled by Zhang Ye was still wandering around and observing, but an alarm sounded, "Main engine damaged, failed to restart, about to activate the backup engine..."

"Backup engine failed to start, the spacecraft is about to enter a low Earth orbit..."

Huh, the ten minutes are up?

At this moment, Zhang Ye realized that he couldn't just focus on the game's detailed textures; he also needed to complete tasks and observe the gameplay.

However, it seemed that the first task had failed when the time limit arrived?

In most games, when a task fails, you have to start over. Zhang Ye waited for the option to restart the task, but after a while, he found that the game did not end and continued to progress.

"What's going on?"

As Zhang Ye was puzzled, the screen changed, and the perspective shifted to outside the spacecraft, looking down at the entire ship.

"What is this?"

The screen displayed a task prompt: Safely land the spacecraft on an unfamiliar planet.

"Damn, no way?"

Zhang Ye couldn't help but stand up, suspecting that this task was a joke. Controlling the spacecraft to land on a planet... This wasn't about the game's difficulty, but rather, did it mean that the game's map included not just the inside of the spacecraft but also other areas?

After the second task prompt appeared, the screen suddenly changed, and the entire screen was filled with a battle/navigation HUD interface, showing red lines, blue lines, white balls, yellow patterns, and various symbols, each representing different meanings.

This first-person spacecraft control interface not only had a small arrow surrounded by short lines to represent the current 3D direction of the ship and thrusters, but the arrow also rotated around the axis, pointing to the current escape direction.

Zhang Ye carefully observed and found that the short lines would flash in red and yellow, indicating the status of the thrusters. In short, the entire HUD interface, at a glance, left a blank space in the middle to show the dynamic view outside the spacecraft, while the periphery was occupied by various professional tools, progress bars, and coordinates, giving a clean and cool look.

Can a single person accomplish this?

Zhang Ye couldn't help but curse. By now, he was 100% sure that the so-called individual developer, Xeon, must be a studio. Otherwise, just this HUD interface alone would take one person several months to debug and develop.

This is the most beautiful spacecraft control interface I've ever seen! No exceptions!

At this moment, Zhang Ye's gaze changed. From the initial nonchalance to the middle confusion, and then to the subsequent shock, what attracted Zhang Ye's attention was no longer just the curiosity about the game's size but had shifted to the curiosity about the entire game content.

Fumbling with the spacecraft, Zhang Ye suddenly became tense, which was the first time he felt nervous while playing a mobile game, even a mobile game simulated on a computer. But now he had no time to think about it; the spacecraft he controlled was getting closer and closer to the blue planet, and the entire spacecraft was showing signs of losing control.

"Damn!"

He cursed. The spacecraft he controlled finally lost control due to his poor handling, spinning helplessly into the planet's atmosphere, generating heat from friction with the atmosphere, and burning up, turning into a meteor that quickly fell to the planet's surface.

"Bang!"

The spacecraft crashed into the center of a mountain, producing a massive explosion that rivaled the simultaneous detonation of thousands of thunderbolts. Instantly, the symphony of death and destruction began, and the immense shock wave violently lifted a towering wave of earth, like a tsunami a thousand meters high, sweeping in all directions.

The dense forests and tall trees below the mountain had no resistance against such a terrifying shock wave. They were first lifted by the shock wave and then burned to ashes by the high temperature. When the ripples caused by the shock wave finally calmed down, a vast crater appeared before Zhang Ye.

"Hehehe..."

Zhang Ye laughed foolishly, stunned by the game engine's dynamic light changes, real-time rendering of object destruction details, high-dynamic sound rendering technology, and collision detection system. He could only express his amazement with "hehe."

He was also a professional in the industry. This mobile game engine was neither the MASCOTCAPSULE engine nor the Epic Unreal Engine, nor any other widely used mobile game engine. It was an unprecedented game engine.

From the current special effects performance, this new mobile game engine was not comparable to other mobile game engines. Even the Unreal Engine 3 on the PC platform was only slightly better in terms of visual performance.

But it must be noted that this was running on an Android emulator, not directly on the computer platform. Despite this, the special effects were only slightly inferior to the Unreal Engine 3...

Zhang Ye felt that either he was going crazy or the world was going crazy.

It wasn't that this was impossible, but the level of expertise required to develop such a game engine was far beyond what Zhang Ye could aspire to. Even looking at someone else's big toe would be a luxury.

Who developed this game?

Zhang Ye couldn't help but wonder again.

He had seen the name and identity, but the name Liu Shu, to be honest, was quite common in China. To truly know who developed it, he would have to call and contact them.

After hesitating, Zhang Ye gave up the impulse to contact them. After all, his task was just to review the app; why contact the other party?

Giving up the idea of contacting the other party, Zhang Ye began to carefully observe the game. After the spacecraft crashed, it did not completely destroy but issued a new task: to go out and explore the unfamiliar planet, searching for useful resources.

Zhang Ye controlled the character to leave the spacecraft and found that from the character's perspective, the impact crater was astonishingly large, at least a kilometer in diameter. Fortunately, the character had a hover car, and with a quick acceleration, he rushed out of the crater.

He originally thought this planet was just a texture, but it turned out that he could actually land on the planet's surface, with flowers, water, grass, trees, and various strange animals. Although the detail level slightly decreased, the overall performance was still impressive.

If the 50M size was all used for textures, it definitely couldn't produce such a large map!

So Zhang Ye was sure that this was a real-time dynamically generated map. This technology had long been implemented in many PC games, which was not surprising. However, the level of detail in those dynamically generated maps had never been so fine, which was the noteworthy point.

Up, down, and all around, everything was generated by the program. Every blade of grass and every tree was clearly visible. Soaring up, countless nebulae came into view.

Zhang Ye controlled the character to fly out at least ten kilometers, but the map still had no end in sight. For some reason, he exited the game and transferred the installation package to his phone, installing it.

Then, he used his authority to approve the game, making it appear in the game category of the Anzhi Electronics Market.

Generally, app reviews take one to two days, but today's speed was purely due to Zhang Ye's personal interest.

This wasn't all. Zhang Ye thought for a moment and immediately contacted an editorial colleague, asking him to play the game and see if it could be featured on the homepage of the game section next week. Yes, it should definitely be featured.

After finishing all this, he decided not to work anymore, picked up his phone, and opened the game he had just installed, playing it with utmost seriousness.
