Chapter 1: Chasing Dreams
[Click, click, click, click]
In a quiet, chaotic bedroom, the sound of a keyboard clicking is heard. Papers and some books are scattered on the floor and the bed. If one approaches the books, they will notice that they cover a variety of subjects, including physics, geography, algebra, information technology, computer systems, Windows software, self-learning systems, database networks, platform management, economics, artificial intelligence systems, and C++ programming.
Food scraps and empty water bottles can be seen on the tabletop and the trash can is full of garbage. There are also some cables along the bottom of walls, one side connected to a network that resembles a hardware device, and the other side behind the computer setup desk. They appear to be connected to the computer.
In front of the desk, a thin young man who appears to be in his twenties is typing something on the computer and tapping away at the keyboard rapidly. His short, black hair is disheveled, and his beard is thin and barely visible from a distance. He is wearing a long, white cloth that resembles a dress.
His face is illuminated by the screen light. His black eyes are constantly moving as they follow the text on the screen. After sitting in front of the screen for a long time, dark spots appear under his eyes.
Suddenly, his hand stopped moving after pressing the Enter key. The screen went dark, as if the computer had shut down. After a moment, the screen lit up again, revealing a small palm tree icon.
He sighed in relief, "Ah," then said in a low, muffled, hoarse voice, "I hope it works well."
A 5% loading line appeared on the screen beneath a palm tree icon.
Suddenly, a phone rang. The young man reached for the phone under a pile of papers. it is a space gray iphone X from Apple. It's shows Mater Almansouri is calling. his hand moved to the green phone icon.
Mater: "alsalam ealaykum" ( hello or Peace be upon you).
The young man: "waealayk alsalam" ( hello or Peace be upon you too).
Mater: "how are you Mansoor? it's been long time since we meet. I heard that you come back from US. Come to my house for coffee."
Mansoor: "hey Mater, Im.." as he sew a 20% loading. " I'm busy right now how about tomorrow night" said after checking the time.
Mater: "Okay then, I will make dinner and invite the others."
Mansoor: "wallah ma taswi shi ghayr aleasha' aleadi" ( By God, you don't do anything but a normal dinner).
Mater: "Why did you swear? You deserve a feast for your dignity and your safe return. You've been away for over two years."
Mansoor: "No need, I'm not a stranger. I'll visit your house when you have a feast."
Mater: "Man, you won't let me do whatever I want. Fine, then I'll grill the meat. see you tomorrow.
mae alsalama (good bye)."
Mansoor: "sure, mae alsalama (good bye)."
He ended the call and put his phone aside. He stood up and started to stitch up as he saw that the loading still haven't finished.

He left his room. His room was on the second floor next to his room was his sister Sarah's room. He and his sister were his parents' only siblings.
------(Mansoor perspective)----
After going down, I meet my mother, Hamdah and my father, Mohammed sitting down in floor seats in the living room watching TV.
Me: "alsalam ealaykum" ( hello or Peace be upon you).
My parents: "waealayk alsalam" ( hello or Peace be upon you too).
My father: "come drink some coffee."
Me: "okay, dad."
as I'm drinking coffee my father ask: "how are you Mansoor? how do you feel after being away for long time?
Me:"I'm fine, Dad. I haven't adjusted to the time yet. My body hasn't adjusted to the time here. I'm still sleepy now."
My mother:" Well, there's an 8 hour difference after all."
Me: "mom, I want lunch."
My mother: "Okay. it's your favorite dish Kabsa with meat "
Me:" really, thanks mom. by the way, dad, mom, Mater invited me tomorrow for a dinner, so I won't be there tomorrow for the dinner."
My father: "Oh, Mater did. salim ealayh.( Say hello to him)"
while I was chatting with my father, I hear my mom said " Mansoor, come here, the lunch is ready."
After I excused myself, I went to the dining room. I saw hotpot, yogurt, and salad placed in floor dining table. after I serve myself, I said "bism allah alrahman alrahim" (In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful) before eating.
After I finished eating, I said "alhamd lilah"(Thank God). and washed my hands. I told my parents that I will go to my room. I went to the desktop to check out the Loading percentage.
97% Loading...
I said excitedly"oh it almost finished" I sit in front the desk. while waiting for it to finish, I took my phone to pass the time. I opened snapchat. I saw one of my friends riding Nissan patrol in desert while playing a classic Mohammed Abdu music. Another one is feeding comal some grass. I also, saw veterinarian give comal some medicine. After watching snapchats for 20 minutes.

[Creator dream is been registered. helping creator in his dream.]
[Can I get permission to access the internet? .]
"you get the permission"
[Researching game development subject.]
"Sarab, can you help me in creating games?"
[I can generate concepts, designs, and even some code for a video game quickly. However, I need some time to create a fully functional video game from scratch.
I can help with:
1. *Game concept and idea generation*: I can suggest ideas for game mechanics, genres, storylines, and characters.
2. *Game design documentation*: I can help create documents outlining game mechanics, level design, user interface, and other aspects of the game.
3. *Dialogue and story writing*: I can assist with writing engaging dialogue, character backstories, and story arcs.
4. *Game development planning*: I can help create a project plan, including timelines, milestones, and resource allocation.

This outline provides a solid foundation for your 3D adventure survival game. Feel free to modify or add to it as you see fit to suit your vision!]
"hm, well there are few things need to be changed and add but it okay. For now, we need to choose game engine first. Which is the best game engine for creating a realistic 3d ultra graphics open world."
[For creating a realistic 3D ultra-graphics open-world game, I'd recommend the following top-tier game engines:
1. Unreal Engine 5 (UE5)
Unreal Engine 5 is a powerhouse for creating stunning, realistic graphics. Its features include:
• Nanite virtualized geometry for detailed environments
• Lumen dynamic global illumination for accurate lighting
• Temporal Super Resolution for high-quality rendering
• MetaHuman for realistic character creation
2. CryEngine
CryEngine is known for its exceptional graphics capabilities, including:
• Advanced lighting and shading techniques
• Realistic water and ocean simulations
• Detailed character and environment creation
• VR and ray tracing support
3. Unity Engine (with High-Definition Render Pipeline)
Unity is a popular choice for game development, and its High-Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) offers:
• Advanced lighting and shading techniques
• Realistic environment and character creation
• Support for ray tracing, VR, and AR
• Cross-platform compatibility
All three engines have their strengths and weaknesses. UE5 and CryEngine are known for their exceptional graphics capabilities, while Unity offers a more versatile and user-friendly experience.
When choosing an engine, consider factors like:
1. Team experience and expertise: If your team is already familiar with an engine, it's often best to stick with what you know.
2. Project scope and scale: Larger, more complex projects might benefit from UE5 or CryEngine's advanced features.
3. Platform support: If you need to deploy on multiple platforms, Unity's cross-platform compatibility might be a deciding factor.
4. Licensing and costs: UE5 and CryEngine offer royalty-based licensing models, while Unity uses a subscription-based model.
Ultimately, the best engine for your project will depend on your specific needs, goals, and team experience.]
"hum, it seem that each engine has its advantages and disadvantages. well, we can go with Unreal engine 5 it does have best options for us. Also, would they own my game if i made it in their game engine"
[Unreal Engine, CryEngine, and Unity Engine are game engines that provide licenses to use their technology to create games. The ownership of your game depends on the licensing terms of each engine.
## Unreal Engine
Unreal Engine uses a royalty-based licensing model. This means that:
- You own the intellectual property rights to your game.
- Epic Games (the creator of Unreal Engine) owns the rights to the Unreal Engine technology.
- You pay a 5% royalty on gross revenue after the first $3,000 per product, per quarter.
## CryEngine
CryEngine uses a "Pay What You Want" licensing model for indie developers, and a royalty-based model for larger studios:
- You own the intellectual property rights to your game.
- Crytek (the creator of CryEngine) owns the rights to the CryEngine technology.
- For indie developers, you can choose to pay a royalty on gross revenue, or pay a flat fee.
- For larger studios, you pay a negotiated royalty rate.
## Unity Engine
Unity Engine uses a subscription-based licensing model:
- You own the intellectual property rights to your game.
- Unity Technologies (the creator of Unity Engine) owns the rights to the Unity Engine technology.
- You pay a subscription fee based on your revenue, with different tiers for Plus, Pro, and Enterprise licenses.
In summary:
- None of the engines own your game's intellectual property rights.
- Each engine has its own licensing terms, which may include royalties or subscription fees.
- Make sure to read and understand the licensing terms before choosing an engine for your game.]
" Well, it seems that I can't keep using their engines. We can make out game engine in the future . Let's name it OasisEngine (OE)."
[Creating a game engine is a complex task that requires a significant amount of time, data and resource. Also, this computer hardware can't handle doing many task at the same time.]
" Well, we can consider making my own game engine in future when we have ability. For now, download Unreal Engine 5. Let's start with that."
[UE5 is been downloading… 68%.]
[ UE5 has been downloaded. Do you want to open it? ]
"Yes, also deal with registration and setup. Let's get started"
UE5 interface show up after Sarab goes through the setup process.
[ do you need to rearrange the interface?]
