Chapter 81: Meeting G Fat

It took almost an hour to get to the hotel arranged by valve.

A three-star hotel, it can be said that the decoration is very luxurious, and after entering the room, the rolling ball beast and the stupid two guys were released.

"Oh my God, I can finally come out." Emerging from the suitcase, the ballmon and the stupid man gasped.

"You deserve it, let you stay at home well, and if you don't want to, you have to come out and suffer the sin." Without waiting for Zhao Hao to speak, Tolia on the side walked to the side of the two guys, gently knocked their heads with her hand, and said angrily.

He smiled and didn't dare to speak.

"You two can only be in the room, you know that you are leaving the country illegally. I didn't give you a certificate, and if you find out, be careful that your life will be at risk. Looking at the stupid and rolling ball beast, Zhao Hao said.

"Come on, don't lie to the boss, your life is still in danger, and at most you will be sent to the stray dog base." Hearing Zhao Hao's words, the stupid and rolling ball beasts are all using a kind of don't lie to me, I looked at Zhao Hao with clear eyes and said.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, after eating, Zhao Hao went to Valve's company with Tolia and Liu Dong with James.

Unlike some other large company buildings, Valve's company building, although it looks very good, is much smaller in size than other company buildings of the same level.

Because Valve can be said to be the company with the smallest number of first-class game companies.

There are only 300 people in the company.

And the benefits of the valve company are also the envy of people in the industry, and there are two months of vacation to Hawaii every year, known as the vacation V company.

But it is undeniable that this unlisted company has great creativity, and even if it is more broadly speaking, they have produced a steam platform, and even saved the decline of PC games.

It can be said that more than 40% of the genuine games in the global PC market are sold on steam.

When you enter Valve's door, the first thing you see is a circular puppet horse that rotates, and that tray is the red gate that appears at the beginning of all of Valve's games.

Then Li Hua, who was excited about the game, visited other places with Liu Dong and them.

From the first game released by Valve in 1996, all the way to the latest product, the showroom has treasures for each one.

It can be said that it is just like a museum, and there are various collector's editions or ordinary figures, which opened the eyes of Zhao Hao and Liu Dong.

That's what a big game company should have.

"What they are responsible for developing now is 'Anti-Terrorist Unit 2'" Walking to a door, James said to Zhao Hao with a smile.

They didn't go in, and James wouldn't have agreed to let them in.

In the end, James also took Liu Dong and Li Hua to see Valve's self-developed Source 2 engine.

"A powerful engine, that's a real game engine." After seeing it, he didn't go back to the hotel, but ate a working meal directly at the valve company, Li Hua said to Zhao Hao with a shocked and excited tone.

"It's indeed a very powerful engine, but our engine is definitely not bad, learn to slowly transform our own engine, I have time for money, and the rest is up to you." Smiling, Zhao Hao said to Li Hua.

In fact, in Zhao Hao's view, the engine of Origin 2 is indeed very powerful, but it also has its own unique shortcomings.

In fact, there is no engine that is extremely comprehensive and has no shortcomings.

Hearing Zhao Hao's words, Li Hua and the others couldn't help but nodded.

"It's a lot of fun." Torya grabbed a fluffy figure in her hand and said to Zhao Hao with a smile.

Li Hua and Liu Dong took the team to visit and communicate with James to learn some of their skills and exchange some ideas about the game.

Zhao Hao also made an appointment with G Fat Gabe Newell to discuss cooperation matters, and Tolia was very happy to play the game consoles and games in the valve company.

After eating, Liu Dong, Li Hua and the others continued to communicate with James's team with Valve, while Tolia continued to play games in Valve's company.

"Mr. Zhao Hao?" In a room specially designed to receive foreign visitors, Gabe Newell looked at Zhao Hao with a smile on his face next to the table.

Two cups of coffee sit on the table.

"Hello, Mr. Newell." Zhao Hao smiled on his face and nodded slightly.

"Until then, I had been looking forward to meeting you, because I couldn't wait to see what kind of person and what kind of team could lead a game as great as Minecraft." Gabe Newell looked at Zhao Hao and said.

A creative game, full of fanciful ideas, it can be said that it pioneered a new genre on the game.

"I'm just an ordinary programmer, but I use my imagination to express myself in games." Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said to Gabe Newell.

"Actually, what surprised me even more was that you guys opened up mods and even opened servers for mods, which is unprecedented." Gabe Newell looked at Zhao Hao and praised.

In fact, this is the same approach as most of Valve's games.

It's all officially supported mods, and even given the convenience of opening.

"Because I know that game developers have limited games, and if they really want to keep a game alive, it is only up to the players themselves, and more often than not, the game developer is just a template maker and a maintainer of order, and how a game is played depends on the players." Zhao Hao heard Gabe Newell's words and said with a smile.

Just like a gunfight game, as long as the player is willing to play in a parkour way, then this gunfight game will become a parkour game, as for the developer's positioning, who will care about you?

"It's true that today's game companies are all studying encryption technology, but in fact, instead of spending a lot of time and energy on developing encryption technology, it is better to think about how to improve the player's experience." Gabe Newell said with some contempt.

Hearing Gabe Newell's words, Zhao Hao couldn't help but nodded lightly.

In fact, if it weren't for the ability brought by the Rolling Ball Beast, Zhao Hao would never have made any encryption programs, in fact, the encryption programs of 'Minecraft' are not very clever.

Later, Zhao Hao talked to Gabe Newell about some things about the company's management, which couldn't help but benefit Zhao Hao a lot, of course, Zhao Hao's concept of the game also made Gabe Newell admire.

In the process, Gabe Newell once again proposed the idea of buying Zhao Hao's studio, but Zhao Hao still rejected it, and he didn't even listen to his offer.

"I wonder if you're interested in having mods developed by game makers sell on Favored Light?" The focus of the conversation slowly shifted to 'My World' over time, and at the same time, Gabe Newell suddenly asked Zhao Hao.
