Compared with software development, the development cost of hardware is huge, so in a short period of time, the game company founded by Li Zetian is purely making game software. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Zetian worked for Atari for a period of time, and has been following the development of Atari since then.

In 1973, Atari acquired the Blue-engineered Smart Tank program, which was still in the process of being designed, and was once running in the name of Stella. Stella, on the other hand, is an Atari beta tester, a second-generation home TV under development, which integrates an original TV Adapter (TIA) processing chip, random access memory (RAM) and input/output (I/O) chips. In order to save costs, standard CMOS and logic cache ICs are used, and the price is reduced to a reasonable level.

Of course, these are only known to Li Zetian, and what he doesn't know is even more powerful.

In August 1976, when Stella was not ready for the open beta, Fairchild Semiconductor invented an exclusive CPU data system, a TV entertainment system. Since then, the market has been flooded with a large number of similar products. Atari knew it needed to release it as soon as possible, but it didn't have enough money to speed up development. In 1976, Nolan Bushnell sold the company to Warner Pictures for $28 million in order to ensure that Stella could be released smoothly as soon as possible.

By the time it went on sale in 1977, Atari's second-generation home console had cost $100 million to develop. After that, Atari quickly occupied the United States and even the global market with this game console, and became a well-deserved hegemon in the gaming industry!!

Li Zetian has now sold Apple, and he doesn't have so much money to develop home game consoles.

All he can do now is develop Apple-ll games first, and then port them to other personal computers to make some money and build up power.

Of course, Li Zetian has a lot of ideas in his heart, and if he is asked to lead the team to develop a home game console, the development amount will definitely be far less than 100 million US dollars.

A week later, Li Zetian registered an overseas subsidiary in the name of Umbrella, the Sun God Bird Company, or Sunbird Company for short.

The reason why it was named "Sun God Bird Company" is because Li Zetian once saw a gold leaf from the SCCD Jinsha site, that is, the "Sun God Bird" gold ornament. Li Zetian was deeply impressed by it, and used it as the company's LOGO, which was very beautiful!

The whole gold ornament is in the shape of a ring, with an intricate openwork pattern on the gold ornament, divided into two layers, the inner layer is equidistant with twelve rotating toothed rays of light, and the outer pattern surrounds the inner pattern, consisting of four identical birds flying counterclockwise. The four birds meet their heads and feet in front of each other, flying in the same direction, opposite to the direction of rotation of the inner vortex. Compositional analysis revealed that it had a gold content of up to 94.2%. The gold ornament may have been an artifact used by the ancient Shu people for sacrifice. It is now in the Jinsha Site Museum in CD City, SC Province.

The registered capital of the company is 250,000 US dollars, and Li Zetian was originally going to buy himself a house and a car, but now all of it has been contributed to the Sunbird Company!

At present, the scale of the company is not large, there is only one person, and that is Li Zetian himself.

First game development project: Tetris.

No, it should be called "Chinese Cubes"!!

How can we Chinese develop it and continue to call it "Tetris"?

As a result, the name "Chinese Cube" was so happily decided by Li Zetian!

"Chinese Cube" is very easy to develop, it is generally a programming rookie's practice, and the code is more than 100 lines, and Li Zetian wrote the program in three times and divided by five. After he was done, he hurried to the patent office to apply for a patent!

Walking out of the patent office, Li Zetian then went to a newspaper to publish a job advertisement.

“

Recruit 3 artists!

Recruiting 10 Game Program Development Engineers!

”

Art, Li Zetian is not good at it.

There is a lot of code for large-scale games, and Li Zetian doesn't have so much time to write it alone, so he assigns it to other people to do it.

Li Zetian is responsible for the overall design and management of the game project.

There is no doubt that as soon as you look at this tricky posture, you know that Li Zetian is going to develop a large-scale computer game!!

Small games like "Chinese Cubes", "Pac-Man", "Donkey Kong", and "Super Arkanoid", Li Zetian can do it alone!

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Zetian alone tops half the sky in the game world!!

Since Sunbird is a start-up company and the salary is not high, employees from other companies will not jump ship.

So Li Zetian can only recruit college students who have just graduated!

However, although they have just stepped out of school, and their skills and experience are not as good as those of other companies, there are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, and under the leadership of Li Zetian, all of them will grow up rapidly! In addition, what Li Zetian values most is that they are full of vitality and vigor, which is what game developers should have the most!

Ten days later, Sunbird had a total of 14 employees, including Li Zetian. The company's office is located near Apple and Microsoft, which is convenient for Li Zetian to manage the three companies!

Before recruiting everyone into the company, Li Zetian stayed up late and worked overtime, and had already written the system framework and rules of "Chinese Cube", "Pac-Man", "Donkey Kong", and "Super Arkanoid", and applied for patents. Of course, the game is very simple, with rough graphics and only the first level.

Li Zetian plans to let the artists polish or improve, and let the game program development engineers develop the subsequent levels of the game! After these four games are completed, everyone's level will be improved, and the cooperation will be more tacit.

If he developed a large-scale game from the beginning, Li Zetian was worried that they would not be able to do it, so he let them practice these four games first.

Newcomers, you always have to train them!

Of course, no company's boss can come up with these four super popular games for employees to practice, and in today's world, there is no one else except Li Zetian!!

"Sunbird lacks everything, but there is no shortage of good projects!!"

"If you work at Sunbird, you can make a name for yourself!!"

"Today you can only be an ordinary programmer in Sunbird, and tomorrow you will be the project director of another company!!"

Li Zetian said this to every employee who came in.

Of course, he does not encourage job hopping, and no one wants to jump ship after coming to Sunbird Company, a comfortable working environment, no pressure, but the salary is less, but the company has an equity incentive mechanism, stay in the company and work hard, the better the company's benefits, the more you will earn. Li Zetian's brain is loaded with countless classic games, which will bring huge fortune to Sunbird Company, and the person who wants to change jobs is S.B. Presumably they will also understand that they have a few catties and taels in the future, just an ordinary code farmer, and the core figure of the company is Li Zetian.

Apple and Sunbird are both industries under Li Zetian's name, and the cooperation between the two companies is naturally no problem at all.

Li Zetian can foresee that when Apple-ll is released, it will be more shocking and popular than the previous life, and sales will increase sharply, maybe the CEO of IBM will be surprised and can't sleep at night!

At the same time, I'm afraid that the CEO of Atari can't sit still......

Think about it, Apple-ll, which is more advanced than the previous life, the more awesome Excel spreadsheet office software, and the four classic games provided by Sunbird, Apple-ll is no longer popular!!
