Chapter 113: Minecraft
I don't have any income at all now, I still owe more than 200 million US dollars to the bank, and I only rely on the remuneration of the novel, and there is no problem in paying off the interest to the bank, but it is impossible to spend money lavishly.
And there is good news about my own game, Minecraft, a game that is about to go on the market, especially Minecraft, which is a sandbox game, there is no plot in the whole game, players are free to build and destroy in the game, and by combining and putting together the elements like building blocks, it is easy to make cabins, castles and even cities, and players can experience the feeling of God through the works they create. In this game, not only can you play solo and multiplayer, but you can also install some mods to make the game more interesting.
Minecraft focuses on allowing players to explore, interact, and change a dynamically generated map made up of blocks of one cubic meter. In addition to blocks, environmental functions include plants, mobs, and items.
Some of the activities in the game include collecting ores, fighting hostile mobs, crafting new blocks, and collecting various tools for resources found in the game. The game's unlimited mode allows players to create buildings, artworks, and art on a variety of multiplayer servers or in their single-player mode. Other features include redstone circuits for logic operations and telematics, minecarts and tracks, and a mysterious world called the Nether. Eventually, one can choose to travel to a dimension called the End and defeat the ender dragon.
It's just a sandbox game, it's relatively simple to do, the developers of the game in the previous world, it took only four days to make this game, and after it was launched on the market, a new version was launched on May 10, 2009. In other words, the game is very simple in the early stage, but the later development is more difficult.
The information given by David is more detailed, so the speed of development is relatively slow, and now half of it is completed, after all, there are more people in his team, unlike the previous life when there was only one developer, which is more difficult to do. If this game is released, it can be used as its own cash cow.
And these materials are also the information that David looked up on the Internet when he was playing this game in his previous life. I don't know if it's true or not, but this game is really simple to do.
The development progress of other games is very gratifying, and it is expected that all games will be available by the end of the year. Mobile games won't be available until smartphones go on sale, and the mobile game plan I wrote is still in my own safe, and I don't plan to take it out now.
David thought about it and fell asleep before he knew it.
In Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, David's estate, the family is eating dinner while discussing the gifts they bought in Hawaii and the scenery and cultural landscape of some tourist attractions.
Between talking and laughing, a hearty dinner is over. The Queen did not have a home of her own, but followed David to Beverly Hills, where she would rest tonight. David also once offered to give his smaller villa to the queen, but the queen refused, but the queen still took the key to the villa, saying that he would go over to live when he had time, so that it would be convenient for the two to be together and would not be easily discovered by the paparazzi.
After dinner, a few people came to the living room with a cup of coffee in their hands, and sat on the sofa to start a family discussion. And David lay there like a salted fish, and rested his head on the Queen's lap, listening to you chattering there. The conversation was about some cosmetics, clothing, and the like, and he didn't know much about David's experience in his past and present lives, so he didn't interject, just lay there and listened quietly.
When you were chatting hotly, the phone ringing suddenly interrupted the conversation of several people, David took out his mobile phone, looked at the caller ID, and found that it was John calling, so after talking to a few women, he came to the study.
As soon as the phone was connected, John's voice came,
"Boss, I'm sorry to bother you so late, Adam Ferguson of Universal Pictures and Brad Gray of Paramount want to meet you, do you see them?"
David frowned and pondered, these two saw themselves, it seems that John has caused them trouble recently, but they are not sure, it is better to ask John?
"Oh, how did these two big bosses get time to see me?
David's words made John giggle on the other side of the phone, laughing and saying;
"Yes, in the negotiation process, the terms given by these two companies were not as generous as those given by us.
And in the process of negotiation, the three of us competed, and in the end it was DreamWorks that could only benefit, so the two of them wanted to meet with you to discuss the acquisition of DreamWorks. ”
Indeed, the competition between himself and Universal Pictures and Paramount can only make DreamWorks powerful. But we're all smart people, and who's going to show their cards as a last resort? And if you go over budget, it's a failed acquisition.
But these two want to see themselves, as John said, they can't give better terms, and the acquisition will fail. But these two are not willing to fail in the acquisition, they should want to get some benefits from themselves, so that they can also get the benefits and exit the acquisition game. Maybe I can meet them and see that their demands are not too much? If not, you can cooperate. After thinking about this, David opened his mouth and said to John,
"Rodeo Drive, there's a nice café, you can make an appointment for me there, it's set for nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Any questions? John!"
"Okay, boss, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock in the morning, Rodeo Avenue Cafe." And when I choose a café, I'll send you the address. Do you need me to accompany the boss?"
Although I can see the progress of their negotiations every day, I don't understand some details very well, it is better to have John present, and it is also convenient to check and fill in the gaps, although I can give them some benefits, but I can't be too ruthless by these two old guys. So when he had thought of this, David spoke;
"These two old guys just want to ask for some benefits here, so that they can withdraw from this DreamWorks acquisition war with dignity, we can give them some benefits, but we must not lose too many of our interests, so it is better for you to follow, because you understand the details of the negotiation, you can check and fill in the gaps, and you can't let these two old guys cheat too hard. ”
