Chapter 337: Counter-Strike

Flamingo was originally the world's largest publisher of video games, and the distribution of computer games was carried out through the same channels as the distribution of video games. Video games are CD-ROMs, and computer games are CD-ROMs. In addition, Flamingo has its own retail stores, which are not subject to other channel providers, making more profits and having a price advantage over other game publishers! Coupled with Flamingo's well-known brand, Flamingo retail stores have always been the first choice for players around the world to buy games.

Unlike other stores, the Flamingo Corporation's retail store is more like an experience store where customers can play all the games released by the Flamingo Company for free. As a result, Flamingo Corporation retail stores are often overcrowded. However, some people scoffed at this, believing that it was a mistake to turn a retail store into an experience store, and many people just played and did not buy, which caused the company to lose a lot of business. But in fact, on the contrary, business at the Flamingo retail store is even more popular! If a player likes a certain game, he will definitely want to keep playing it until he has beaten the level, and the short experience time is simply not enough to satisfy them!

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

Games are basically downloaded and purchased from the Internet, and the game disc industry will be hit hard, so simply selling game discs will definitely not work. On the other hand, game experience stores can attract high popularity and recommend online paid games directly in the store.

After Li Zetian learned about the situation of Flamingo Company, he said: "Call the main persons in charge of id Softare Company and estood Studios Company, I have something to explain to them." ”

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

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

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

For several years, Li Zetian didn't design 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 surprised to see Li Zetian sitting at his desk drinking red wine.

At this time, Li Zetian noticed that a young man under the age of twenty had fiery eyes and looked at him with adoring eyes.

Li Zetian also looked him up and down, Nima, isn't this the genius programmer John Carmack, in his previous life, he still admired him, but in this life, he worships me. Nima, that look, that expression, I'm embarrassed......

“Mr· Li, hello!!" A group of people stepped forward one after another and greeted respectfully. As a game developer, there is one person that they can never surpass, and one person who will be the only legend in the history of the game. He was none other than the man in front of them, the Chronos· Li!!!

Aside from Li Zetian's status as the richest man in the world and the owner of Flamingo Company, Li Zetian's game design ability is enough to make them look up to the mountains.

Li Zetian looked at them with a smile on his face and nodded.

Bushnell then introduced their identities to Li Zetian.

“Mr· Li, John Carmack, is a talented programmer who can independently develop powerful 3D game engines, and id Softare's games use his own 3D game engine. Even IBM extended an olive branch to him before, but he eventually came to our company. Hehe, speaking of which, it's still Mr. Li You're attractive, and if it weren't for you, John Carmack wouldn't have come!" Bushnell laughed.

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

Li Zetian was very happy when he heard this, such a technical god actually worshiped himself 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 in his heart, he seemed to be really old, he was already thirty-six years old, rely on !!

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

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

Li Zetian smiled at him and nodded.

Ten minutes later, after Bushnell introduced these people, he immediately said: "Mr. · Li called you here this time because he had designed a new game and needed you to complete it for him! Li is unparalleled and unmatched. So, this time, it's an opportunity for both of you!"

With that, the people at id Softare and estood Studios were all flushed and excited.

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

Flamingo has the status and influence it has today, all thanks to Li Zetian's game design, and he alone has supported a super game empire!!

At this moment, everyone's eyes were staring at Li Zetian fieryly, as if they were staring at a golden mountain.

“Mr· Li, what game have you designed?" John Carmack couldn't help but ask, he was too curious, Li Zetian hadn't made a move for many years, and if he did, it would definitely be an extraordinary classic game.

Li Zetian looked at the anxious appearance of the two of them, and couldn't help but feel funny.

"I have two games in mind, one for both of you. Li Zetian said with a smile.

"It's a game called Counter-Strike, developed by id Softare. The other game is called Red Alert, which was developed by estood 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, and each team must fight multiple rounds on a map. The way to win the round is to reach the objectives required by that map, or to completely eliminate the enemy player. The game modes are: 'Demolition Mode', 'Hostage Rescue Mode', 'Assassination Mode', 'Escape Mode', etc., and I have written a game design for the details and will send it to you later. Li Zetian looked at John Carmack and said, "However, I think the ID game engine you developed may not be able to meet my requirements, so you need to further develop the 3D game engine according to my game design requirements." ”

Li Zetian thought to himself that with his own game design requirements, id Softare could develop a game engine suitable for "Counter-Strike" in a targeted manner, so as 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 heads of id Softare nodded repeatedly, their eyes lit up. Although they haven't gotten the specific game design materials yet, just by hearing the brief introduction just now, they already feel that this game is absolutely fun, highlighting the teamwork and confrontation of the game, and there is a sense of competition!
