Yang: Hello, I am also very happy to have the opportunity to talk with you, and extend the best wishes to you Happy New Year.

Okvi. COM: In the gaming industry for so long, you are mainly responsible for what kind of work? Do you think your city is very suitable for the growth of your industry?

Yang: I am mainly responsible for the design and production of 3D scenes in the game, that is, the game of urban scenes, natural terrain scenes and scenes of a variety of props to design the production. Some of Beijing's policies do not make Shanghai more suitable for the gaming industry, but I as a Beijing is still very emotional to Beijing, as a political and cultural center, there are many favorable places, Beijing's biggest advantage in its cultural and educational undertakings, it has many famous universities and cultural institutions, Attracts a lot of talented people from all over the country, this to the game company talented person's training and accumulates has the very big benefit. In addition, Beijing has an advantage in attracting foreign investment, and many famous foreign game companies have set up branches in Beijing, including some small game companies which are independently invested and developed by foreign investors.

Okvi. COM: What was your major prior to entering this industry? What makes you interested in making a game? In high school are learning graphic design major, mainly learn how to design logo, advertising and other VI design.

Yang: Interested in making the game because love play games, I contact electronic games very early, played red and white machine, bubble arcade, but also a senior player ^ v ^ haha. When I was in high school, I saw the show about the game company developing the game on TV, and I was very impressed, I hope I can make the game one day.

Okvi. COM: In the reading age, game consoles for the parents are disgusted, you walk into this industry, how the family look?

Yang: Yes, the student age electronic game is the electronic opium, the spirit drug synonymous Ah-_-| | I was also poisoned quite deep, Tianju coincidence, an accidental chance to encounter West Poison Yin, preach me a toad work ... In fact, my parents are still very supportive of me, after all, the money of the game machine is the parents of adults dig. I engaged in the game after the production of family members of my opinion: "Don't look at people playing games every day, but also really capable of this!" "Introduce some personal experience to present students, is to observe a rule, play on a good play, learn to seriously really learn, do not waste time, forget."

Okvi.com: What do you feel the most about during this period of time (the game industry)? What do you think of the current domestic gaming industry?

Yang: Game production is a temper of the occupation, it takes a long time to concentrate on work, impatient people are not suitable to engage in this line, and also because of the long time sitting in front of the computer, we are not very good-_-this feeling the deepest.

The domestic game industry has developed for many years, but because the D version of the problem limits the development of the game industry, many single game companies have been eliminated. At present, only online game can bypass the D version of profit, the domestic 2D network game has been more mature, 3D network game is still in the development stage, because the market is big, so China's gaming industry is still very promising. If we can solve the problem of the D version soon, I believe the game industry will develop quickly.

Okvi.com: What do you usually have in your personal interest? Is it directly related to the source of your creative inspiration? Oh, I usually like to watch movies, play games, play basketball badminton, have the opportunity to visit the park, go out to travel, look at China's ancient buildings.

Yang: Inspiration is not, but it is helpful to work is true, such as watching movies can learn how to create the atmosphere in the scene, how to express a variety of circumstances to give people different feelings. Many of the elements in the movie have something in common with the game, such as light, lens applications and so on. While playing games can also be fun to learn a higher level of production technology, such as how to use fewer surface models, more reasonable application map, you can also understand the development of 3D game image engine, to see what the game and what new effects. A few years ago love to play stand-alone version of the game, in recent years in contact with the network game, recently playing games in the World of Warcraft, mainly to learn a good game of technology, by the way to experience the player's feelings.

Visit the park can have a chance to look at China's classical architecture, to take some maps, easy to make use later. Now all the costume games are more popular.

Okvi.com: What games have been involved in the production? For us to introduce it, in the game making process has not encountered some previously did not think of the problem?

Yang: Originally in Beijing glorious work of the time to participate in the production of a lot of games, basic 2000 to 2004 glorious production of the game have participated, such as the decisive series, the three unique series, the Warring States unparalleled series, too pavilion determined series, Kingdoms War, super letter long online, big sailing online, etc. At this stage in the 10-face studio to develop online games, "The Ten sides ambush."

Did not think of the problem is that the original painting Foundation is so important, many maps require a high level of hand-drawn skills to show. I used to feel that learning software is very important, but now more and more feel the software update too fast, learn new software if the work is not used, will soon forget. Many software are with the work needs, unknowingly learned. Or the basis of painting is the most important. In addition, the piracy problem on the game too much, the original did not think of-_-| |

Okvi.com: Game company is a lot of people yearning place, talk about glory and and 10-Face Studio Bar!

Yang: In fact, playing games before the game is a very simple entertainment, game making become a job after playing the game feel no original kind of pure entertainment feeling.

The glorious software is a Japanese game software company, has the very rich game development experience, the development team Personnel Division of labor is clear, to some series game can use the pipeline way to complete the production. More than 4 new games can be developed each year. I am in the glorious software about 4 years time, feel the Japanese game company's professional and technical level is indeed very high, the company operates relatively stable, and management is very standard, the task assignment is very meticulous, it is worth the domestic companies to learn. In the glorious software to learn a lot of game development knowledge, benefit.

Ten-face studio is to develop online games, "The Ten Sides Ambush" and established: "The ten Sides of ambush," the large-scale network game is based on the famous director Zhang Yimou's film "Ambush on the ten sides," the martial arts theme of the large-scale multiplayer on-line role playing game. Is the first batch of the press and publication department in the "Chinese National Network Game Publishing Project," One of 21 domestic online game works.

I am mainly responsible for the game scene part of the work, in the ten-side studio is for their own development of the game, with the original in the glorious software is not the same, the original in the glorious software to do so long, participated in a lot of game production, but no one game production personnel column has the name of Chinese people, finally have the opportunity to make their own game, Write your name in the Game Maker's field, so try harder.

Okvi.com: Oh! is the direction of development in the future determined? What are you going to do? Will it develop in terms of technology or management?

Yang: This question is too challenging, see industry development, if the industry development is reasonable, old to engage in technology can also have food to eat, I still like to engage in technology, if the industry development is unreasonable, old to do the technology without food to eat, then turn to management, now or two-way development, and ready to continue to maintain.
