Chapter 266 "World War"
Gable took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase with slightly trembling hands.
"Lin, I plan to develop a real-time first-person shooting game called "World War". In our planned "World War", it will include various countries in reality, and combined with your concept of 'Asian Internet',
The game will use global interconnection, and players from all over the world will be on the same game server." Gable said with a trembling voice in excitement.
When Lin Feng heard this, he was stunned. "World War", global interconnection, this plan is not simple, and it is exciting! Lin Feng also started to be a little excited, even trembling.
"Lin, in this "World War" game, players from each country belong to their own camp. There will be two alliances in the game. Players from each country can choose to join one of the alliances by voting, or complete the ultimate goal in the game.
After the mission, you can create a new alliance independently. Players who join the alliance will be able to attack other alliance players, capture their 'land', and completely occupy it. Each country has territories and cities of varying sizes based on the actual country.
, except for the capital, which can only be captured and then robbed of resources, all other cities can be completely occupied." Gable briefly introduced "War of the Worlds" to Lin Feng in an excited tone.
"Yes, and each country has different weapons, and there will be tanks, planes, ships and other war tools in the game. This will be an online game of unprecedented scale and unprecedented size." Minh-le said excitedly.
"This is our detailed development plan for "War of the Worlds." Take a look at it, Lin. I believe you will be as excited as I am." Gable handed Lin Feng a thick plan.
Lin Feng took it and just took a look at it, and felt that the game had great prospects. He couldn't help but develop it immediately, launch it on the market, and play it. This "War of the Worlds" is not just what Gable described.
It's so simple, it's just a first-person shooting game, in which players from various countries can upgrade the defense buildings and production capital buildings of their own country's cities by completing tasks. Of course, they can also plunder resources by capturing cities in enemy countries.
Simply put, this "World War" is a combination of "StarCraft" + "Sim City" + "Counter-Strike". Players have almost unlimited freedom in it. The theme of the game is bloody war, but if you don't want to spend all day playing
Players fighting in the battlefield can choose to become a city builder and improve the city's defense and economy by completing various tasks. In short, players can become various professions in it, which is by no means limited to a single profession, but also various professions.
There is no need for any professional skills between professions, as long as the system tasks are completed. This can delay players' "aesthetic fatigue" of the game to the greatest extent and provide a variety of professions for players to play.
Moreover, it is possible to capture enemy territory that is modeled after the real world. This is undoubtedly the dream war game of all men. Lin Feng believes that if this game is developed, it will undoubtedly become the world's number one online game. I am afraid that the number of gamers will be
Beyond everyone’s imagination, there may be hundreds of millions of game players. Of course, there are still many problems.
"Will such a game be blocked by various countries? After all, according to what you said, the world map is modeled after countries in the real world." This is the issue that Lin Feng is most worried about. If the game is blocked by various countries, it will be meaningless.
"No, we will completely use the future world as the background. It has no intersection with reality, it is just similar in appearance. Besides, "Age of Empires" also has various nationalities, which are just as prosperous." Gable said slyly.
Lin Feng nodded, as long as the name and title of any country in the real world does not appear in the design. After all, in the game, you can occupy the territory of hostile alliance countries and plunder the opponent's resources, so you must be cautious in this regard.
"Are there any technical problems?" Lin Feng asked. If there were no problems, Lin Feng believed they would not come.
"Technically, there are no big problems, we can overcome them. The only thing we lack is funds, funds to develop games." Gable said helplessly.
"How many are needed?" Lin Feng asked.
"100 million U.S. dollars. The start-up capital for game development is at least this much. This game scene is too big, and the scale and content are too extensive. I am afraid that its development team will also set a record. I estimate that it will cost up to 200 million to 300 million U.S. dollars.
." Gable looked at Lin Feng eagerly. With such a huge game development fee, Gable couldn't think of anyone else who had so much money and believed in the future prospects of this project, not to mention that only Lin Feng could operate this game.
Lin Feng suddenly realized that it was obvious that Gable and others came here to ask for funds from him. However, he was indeed not short of money now, but whether it was funded by himself or by the "Second World", he needed to think about it.
"Lin, we are not just here to seek funds this time, but also to seek cooperation," Gable said.
"Cooperation?" Lin Feng didn't understand what Gable meant.
"Lin, to be honest, we can't stay in the United States anymore. We are tired of the endless lawsuits with Xueleshan Company. Moreover, it feels too uncomfortable to be controlled by others. This time we come to China.
I want to cooperate with the 'Second World' and form an alliance company." Gable said rather bitterly.
"Alliance?" Lin Feng was stunned.
"It is the merger of our two companies to form a brand new company and become the overlord of the computer game industry." Gable said with great yearning.
Lin Feng frowned, his "Second World" was booming. Although Valve was also good and a well-known brand in the computer game industry, Lin Feng did not want his company to become a vassal of the other party, not to mention that although the other party was famous
, but its financial resources are far inferior to those of its own company.
"Haha, Lin, this is our cooperation plan, you can study it." Gable handed Lin Feng a cooperation plan.
Lin Feng took a rough look and found that this so-called cooperation is not Valve's initiative to merge into the "Second World", and cooperation is just a fig leaf. If this is the case, Lin Feng is extremely interested. In addition to Valve's "Counter-Strike"
"The most famous one, and what really made it famous is the "half-life" stand-alone game. This is Valve's real flagship product. If we can cooperate, it will definitely be of great benefit to us to enter the stand-alone game market.
"Okay, so, Gabe, you guys take a rest first. I've prepared a hotel for you. You go and have a rest first while I discuss it with the company's shareholders," Lin Feng said.
Gable nodded. The reason why he proposed the merger plan this time was because he had no choice. First, he was forced too hard by Snow Mountain in the United States. The lawsuits between the two parties were endless, which affected the entire Valve company, and even normal operations were affected.
There is no guarantee. Moreover, another partner of the company, Mike, just last month extremely irresponsibly sold all the company's shares and went on a so-called global vacation. This is an even more severe blow to the company.
At the same time, "half-life 2", which has been under development, was also in trouble, draining Valve's funds. However, the game produced made Gable extremely dissatisfied and denounced it as garbage. Therefore, seeking cooperation was a last resort. But let Gable
What made Bo really determined was the "World War" proposed by minh-le based on Lin Feng's "Counter-Strike Online" Asian interconnection plan - a first-person shooter that will be globally interconnected and allow players around the world to play on the same server.
Game, Gable is extremely optimistic about its prospects.
But it is not difficult to develop "World War Online", as long as you have money. But if you want global interconnection, you lack a fatal software - Lin Feng's "cloud computing". Without Lin Feng's "cloud computing", there is no other way.
Talking about the global Internet, not even the country can break through. But "cloud computing" is now exclusively owned by Lam Feng's company, and Lam Feng does not intend to announce it, so he must cooperate with Lam Feng.
After much thought, Gable came up with the idea of forming an alliance with Lin Feng and merging the two companies. With Lin Feng's financial resources and "cloud computing", coupled with his own technology, it is definitely a match made in heaven, and Gable can also use this to get rid of He Xue.
The Leshan Company is entangled in lawsuits, so why not do it? The only thing that makes Gaibo slightly reluctant is that once the merger is inevitable, Lin Feng's company will be the main company, and he will no longer be the CEO.
Of course, after the merger, for the sake of balance, Lin Feng gave Gable a "second world" vice president who would definitely not be able to escape. In addition, Gable himself did not attach much importance to rights. What he longed for was success in game software.
This made Gable decide to merge the two companies.
Lin Feng didn't know these ideas of Gable, but this merger plan was extremely attractive. Lin Feng immediately convened an emergency shareholders' meeting to discuss the matter. Based on the importance of this matter, Li Zekai, who was far away in Hong Kong, also participated by phone.
meeting.
"Everyone, what do you think of this plan?" Lin Feng asked.
Cui Mingze, as the head of the first game development department in the "Second World" and also owns 5% of the company's shares, appreciates this plan but is a little repelled. Although he now owns "Legend" and "Legend" in the "Second World"
The development and maintenance rights of "Audition", but obviously, these two games are not the company's focus. Previously, the company's focus was "Sword Online". Now once it merges with Valve, this "World War" will definitely be the company's focus.
Among the top priorities. At that time, his position will inevitably become more embarrassing. However, due to professional ethics, Cui Mingze still expressed his true opinions.
"Director Lin, I think Valve's merger plan is completely acceptable, but our company must occupy a leadership position. This cooperation will officially make our company a leader in the computer game industry," Cui Mingze said.
Chapter completed!
