Giant of the times

Flamingo Company was originally the world's largest video game publisher, and it had the same channels for publishing computer games and publishing video games. TV games are CD discs, and computer games are also CD discs. In addition, Flamingo Company has its own retail stores and is not subject to other channels. It can earn greater profits and has a price advantage over other game publishers! Coupled with the well-known brand of Flamingo Company, Flamingo retail stores have always been the first choice for players around the world to purchase games.

The retail store of Flamingo Company is different from other stores. It is more like an experience store, where customers can play all games released by Flamingo Company for free. As a result, Flamingo's retail stores are often overcrowded. However, some people sneered at this and believed that it was a mistake to turn retail stores into experience stores. Many people only played but did not buy, causing the company to lose a lot of business. But in fact, it's just the opposite. The business of Flamingo retail stores is even more prosperous! If a player likes a certain game, he will definitely want to keep playing until he passes the level. The short experience time cannot satisfy them at all!

In addition, Li Zetian also considered the future Internet gaming market.

Games are basically downloaded and purchased online, and the game disc industry will be greatly impacted. Therefore, simply selling game discs will definitely not work. However, game experience stores can attract high popularity and recommend online paid games directly in the store.

At this time, after Li Zetian learned about the situation of Flamingo Company, he said: "Call the main people in charge of id Software Company and Westwood Studios Company. I have something to explain to them."

"Mr. Li, another new game development project??!" Nolan Bushnell's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask.

Li Zetian smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes."

"Okay, I'll notify them to come over right away!" Bushnell said excitedly.

It had been several years since Li Zetian designed a game, and Bushnell missed it very much.

Not long after, the main leaders of the two companies came to Bushnell's office one after another.

They were all surprised when they saw Li Zetian sitting at his desk drinking red wine.

At this time, Li Zetian noticed that a young man under twenty years old had fiery eyes and looked at him with admiration.

Li Zetian also looked him up and down. Damn, isn't this the genius programmer John Carmack? In his previous life, I admired him, but in this life, he worships me. Damn, those eyes and expressions make me feel embarrassed...

"Hello Mr. Li!!!" A group of people came forward and greeted respectfully. As game developers, there is one person who they can never surpass; there is one person who will be the only legend in the history of the game. He is none other than the person in front of them - Chronos Li! ! !

Regardless of Li Zetian's status as the world's richest man and the owner of Flamingo Company, Li Zetian's game design ability is enough to make them admire him.

Li Zetian looked at them with a smile and nodded.

Bushnell immediately introduced their identities to Li Zetian.

"Mr. Li, this is John Carmack, a genius programmer who can independently develop a powerful 3D game engine. The games of id Software use the 3D game engine developed by him. Before, even IBM asked He extended an olive branch, but he finally came to our company. Haha, speaking of it, Mr. Li, you are still charming. If you weren’t the boss of Flamingo Company, John Carmack might not be willing to come!” Bushnell laughed.

John Carmack looked straight at Li Zetian and said excitedly: "Mr. Li, you are the person I admire most. I grew up playing the games you designed and developed!!!"

Li Zetian was very happy when he heard this. Such a technical master actually admired him so much! Wait... "I grew up playing the games you designed and developed!" Why does this sentence sound so awkward? Am I so old?

Li Zetian sighed, he seemed really old, he was already thirty-six years old, damn! ! !

Li Zetian didn't sigh for too long. He looked at John Carmack and smiled lightly: "You are John Carmack. I heard Bushnell introduce you. Well, you are very good!"

"Thank you Mr. Li for the compliment!" John Carmack said excitedly. "Very good" made him feel happy and very proud.

Li Zetian smiled at him and nodded.

After more than ten minutes, Bushnell introduced these people and immediately said: "Mr. Li called you here this time because he has designed a new game and needs you to complete it for him! You also know that when it comes to games, Mr. Li's design ability is unparalleled and unparalleled. So, this time is an opportunity for your two companies!"

Having said that, everyone from id Software and Westwood Studios turned red and were extremely excited.

There is a truth in the industry: "Chronos·Li design must be a classic!"

The current status and influence of Flamingo Company are all due to Li Zetian's game design. He alone has propped up a super game empire! ! !

At this moment, everyone was staring at Li Zetian with fiery eyes, as if staring at a golden mountain.

"Mr. Li, what game did you design?" John Carmack couldn't help but ask. He was really curious. Li Zetian hadn't made a game for many years, and it would definitely be an extraordinary classic game.

Li Zetian couldn't help but feel funny when he saw how anxious they were.

"I thought of two games, suitable for your two companies respectively." Li Zetian smiled.

"One game is called "Counter-Strike", developed by id Software. The other game is called "Red Alert", developed by Westwood Studios."

Li Zetian paused and said slowly: "'Counter-Strike' is a shooting series game that divides players into two teams, the 'Counter-Strike' camp and the 'Terrorist' camp. Each team must play multiple rounds on a map. The battle. The way to win the round is to achieve the goal required by the map, or to completely eliminate the enemy players. The game modes are: 'Explosion Mode', 'Hostage Rescue Mode', 'Assassination Mode', 'Escape Mode', etc., For specific circumstances, I have written a game design and will send it to you later." Li Zetian looked at John Carmack and said, "However, I think the ID game engine you developed cannot meet my requirements, so you The 3D game engine needs to be further developed according to my game design requirements."

Li Zetian thought that with his own game design requirements, id Software could develop a game engine suitable for "Counter-Strike" to avoid detours and shorten the game development cycle.

"Yes, we will definitely develop the game engine and "Counter-Strike" according to your requirements!!!" Several people in charge of id Software nodded repeatedly, with bright eyes. Although they haven't received specific game design information yet, just hearing the brief introduction just now, they already feel that this game is absolutely fun, especially the team and confrontational nature of the game are highlighted, giving it a competitive feel!
