Chapter 86: Half-Life (2)

"Bang bang~" Jerry made a coquettish move, and the two gunshots of the shaking desert eagle rang out, and a large patch of blood appeared on the head of the oncoming Jim Clark, and then he kicked his feet and fell on his back.

"Oh~no~ Boss, you can't do this to me." Jim Clark screamed in pain.

This isn't the first time he's been shot in the head.

"Hey ~ Jim, put on the headset, our heads-up game isn't over yet." Jerry said with a smile.

Alway Smith and the others looked at Jim Clark with a look of self-inflicted expression on your kid.

Jim Clark stood up from the opposite side pitifully, "I admit defeat, can't I admit defeat?" ”

"Don't admit defeat, come here, I haven't killed enough!" Jerry stiffened his face and pretended to be very unhappy.

"Boss~" Jim Clark wailed.

Anyone rushing up with an MP5 and getting a shot in the head from a desert eagle from a distance doesn't feel too good. Jim Clark, who originally wanted to find some balance in Jerry's body, was sadly abused again and again, and in the end, he didn't bother to resist. Rushing up is a kind of virtue that you are going to die, and you look at it.

Jerry looked at Jim Clark's bird's virtue, and simply took off the headset, he flew to Amoryville, not to abuse Jim Clark.

He walked over to Gabe Newell and Mike Harington and patted the two former Microsoft employees on the shoulder, "Good job, Gabe, good job, Mike." "HλLF-LIFE", I like this game a lot. It's just that there are too few props in this game now, and the game mode is too one-dimensional. Ever thought about developing low-level mods for game users? ”

The meaning of developing the underlying mod is to develop the game engine directly, and anyone who comes into contact with the Half-Life game can modify the game, or rather. On the basis of Half-Life, the secondary development of the Half-Life game can be carried out. That means that when Pixar applied for the authorization of the quake engine, it made a wedding dress for others for nothing. Other game developers, if they want to use the quake engine and don't want to pay for the engine, they can use the Half-Life game as a base for development.

Of course, the benefits of this are obvious, as do all games that use Half-Life as a base for game development. are all derivatives of Half-Life.

Half-Life games will be the father of open-mod FPS (first-person shooters) games.

"If Potter and Alwe agree, I certainly don't have a problem." Gabe Newell knew what an open underlying module would do when he heard it. However, he considered that opening up the underlying mod would make the game richer in content and more interactive for users. As for the idea of spin-offs, he didn't think of them for the time being. However, even if this is the case, it is worth opening up the underlying mods, if only for the half-life development team. It is impossible to think of everything.

There is always a limit to the creativity of a team.

"He's said so, do we still have an opinion?" Alwe replied with a smile.

"Hey ~ Alvey, don't act like I'm a dictator."

"Oh~oh~ You're not, you're not." Alwe waved his hand. A look of wanting to cover up.

Jerry was speechless and glanced at Alve, one of the Big Four of Pixar, and said, "Alvey, come with me." ”

Alwe hurriedly raised his hand in surrender. He's not a sadist.

The group laughed.

"Hey~ Boss, when did you come?" Ed Cattermor walked in and was notified by Pixar's staff. He's writing an upgrade code for the RenderMan animation renderer behind closed doors, "How's your body recovering?" ”

"Shortly after arriving. See you soon, Ed! Jerry gave Ed Cattermor a hug with open arms. There is no missing arm or leg, and it is very healthy. ”

"I was shocked to hear that you had been attacked in the Seine Tunnel." After being abducted by Alve Smith to Cofilm, Ed Cattermor replaced Alvey as CEO of Cofilm. In terms of management, he and Jerry seem to be like-minded.

"It's just that some fanatical religious elements have suffered this result because of my own statements like those in Royal Victoria Square." Jerry had already seen the Seine Tunnel terrorist attack very openly, he pointed to the scar on the corner of his eyebrow, and then said with a smile, "The mark here should be a lesson." ”

However, when Ed Cattermor mentioned the Seine Tunnel terrorist attack, Jerry thought of something again, and he turned to Gabe Newell and said, "Gabe, is it possible to release a spin-off game with open underlying mods at the same time as HλLF-LIFE?" ”

"Boss, what do you have in mind?"

"Strip away all the plot and missions, strip out the modified engine of HλLF-LIFE, and use the mode of police versus terrorists to create a team-based game where one team plays the role of terrorists and the other team plays the role of counter-striker. Each side can use different guns and equipment, police equipment and terrorist equipment. Also join missions similar to hostage rescue, assassination, bomb defusal, etc. The one who has the two sides engaged in a dogfight, completed the mission within the specified time, or killed all opponents, is judged to be the victorious side. How much time do you think it will take to modify a spin-off like this? ”

"The mod engine is already there, and it won't take much time to modify a spin-off game like this." Gabe Newell wasn't sure if such a game would be a success, "It's just that anyone would play a spin-off game like this?" ”

Before 1996, almost all FPS were won by missions and plots, and if there was no plot and missions as a guide, it was just a shooting experience game, and Gabe Newell really didn't know what kind of playability such a game was.

"You can give it a try. At least I'm happy with the feeling I can just take the Desert Eagle and abuse Jim. ”

"Boss~" Jim Clark cried out protestingly.

"Well~ not everyone likes this feeling. Jim, do you want revenge? Jerry chuckled.

"Still, forget it!" Jim Clark was helpless.

"Okay, let's go, let's have a big meal, you're in for a treat!" Jerry smiled and patted Jim Clark, "I'll talk to you after I've eaten some things." (To be continued......)
