Vol 2 Chapter 266: "World War"

Chapter 266 World War

Gable took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase with trembling hands.

"Lin, I plan to develop a real-time first-person shooter called World War. In our planned world war, we will include all countries in reality, and combined with your "Asian Connectivity" concept, the game will adopt Globally interconnected, including players from all over the world are on one game server." Gable said with excitement a little trembling.

When Lin Feng heard this, he was stunned. The plan of world war and global interconnection is by no means simple, and it is exciting! Lin Feng also started to feel a little excited, even trembling.

"Lin, in this world war game, players in each country belong to their respective camps. There will be two alliances in the game. Players from each country can choose to join one of the alliances by voting, or after completing the ultimate mission in the game New alliances can be created independently. Players who join the alliance will be able to attack other alliance players, and can conquer their "land" and completely occupy them. Each country has land and cities of various sizes according to the actual country, except The capital can only be seized and seized for resources, and the rest of the cities can be completely occupied." Gable introduced the world war briefly to Lin Feng with excitement.

"Yes, and each country has different weapons, and there will be tanks, aircraft, ships and other war tools in the game. This will be an unprecedented online game on an unprecedented scale." Minh-le said excitedly.

"This is our detailed plan for the development of the World War, Lin, take a look, I believe you will be as excited as I am." Gable handed Lin Feng a thick plan.

Lin Feng just took a look at it and felt that the future of this game is huge. He couldn't help but develop it immediately, launch it on the market, and go in for a good game. This world war is not just as simple as Gable's description, it is just a first-person shooter game, in which players from all countries can complete tasks to upgrade the defensive buildings and production materials buildings of their own cities. Of course, they can also capture enemy countries. Cities to plunder resources.

Simply put, this world war is a combination of StarCraft + Sim City + Counter-Strike, and players have almost unlimited freedom in it. The theme of the game is fierce war, but if you don’t want to fight in battle on the battlefield all day long, you 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, not just confined to a single profession, and each profession does not require any professional skills, as long as the system tasks are completed. This can delay the "aesthetic fatigue" of the player to the game to the greatest extent, and provide a variety of occupations for the player to play.

And it can capture enemy territory developed in the real world, which is undoubtedly the dream war game of all men. Lin Feng believes that if this game is developed, it will undoubtedly be the world's number one online game. I am afraid that the number of games will exceed everyone's imagination, and the number of gamers will probably be hundreds of millions. Of course, there are still many problems.

"Will such a game be blocked by various countries? After all, according to what you said, it is a world map that imitates the real world countries." This is Lin Feng's most worrying issue. If the game is blocked by various countries, it will be meaningless.

"No, we will completely take the future world as the background. It does not have any intersection with reality, but just looks like. What's more, don't there be nations and nations in the empire era, which are just as prosperous." Gable said cunningly.

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, it is possible to occupy the territory of an enemy alliance country and plunder the opponent's resources. You must be cautious in this regard.

"Is there any technical problem?" Lin Feng asked. If there is no problem, Lin Feng believes that they will not come.

"Technically, there is no big problem, we can all overcome it. The only thing that is lacking is the funds, the funds for the development of the game." Gable said helplessly.

"How much do you need?" Lin Feng asked.

"100 million US dollars. The start-up capital for game development needs at least this much. The game scene is too large, and the scale and content involved are too wide. I am afraid that its development team will also set a record. I estimate that it will cost 200 million to 300 million US dollars at most. "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 plan, not to mention that only Lin Feng could operate this game.

Suddenly, Lin Feng, it was obvious that Gable and others came here to ask for funds from himself. However, I am indeed not short of money, but whether it is personally funded or funded by the "Second World", that needs to be considered.

auzw.com "Lin, this time we are not only here to seek funding, but also to seek cooperation." Gable said.

"Cooperation?" Lin Feng didn't understand Gable's meaning.

"Lin, to be honest, we can't stay in the United States anymore. We have been fighting endless lawsuits with Xueleshan Company. We are already bored. And the feeling of being restrained everywhere is really uncomfortable. This time we came to China. I want to cooperate with the "Second World" and form an alliance company." Gable said bitterly.

"Alliance?" Lin Feng was taken aback.

"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" is as it is today. Although valve is also good and a well-known brand in the computer game industry, Lin Feng does not want his company to become a vassal of the other party, not to mention that the other party is well-known. , But in terms of financial resources, it is far from being compared with our own company.

"Haha, Lin, this is our cooperation plan, you can study it." Gable handed Lin Feng a cooperation plan.

Lin Feng looked at it roughly. This so-called cooperation is not as much as Valve's initiative to merge into the "Second World", and cooperation is just a fig leaf. If so, Lin Feng would be extremely interested. In addition to the most famous counter-strike, valve is the most well-known half-life stand-alone game. This is valve's real hit product. If you can cooperate, it will definitely benefit you to enter the stand-alone game market.

"Okay, so, Gable, you rest first. I have prepared a hotel for you. You go to rest first. I will talk to the shareholders of the company." Lin Feng said.

Gable nodded. He was also helpless because of the merger proposal this time. First, in the United States, it was forced by Xueleshan Company to be too fierce, and the lawsuits between the two sides were endless, which affected the entire valve company, and even normal operations could not be guaranteed. Moreover, another partner of the company, Mike, just last month extremely irresponsibly sold all of the company’s stock and went on a so-called global vacation, which was a serious blow to the company.

At the same time, half-life2, which has been in research and development, is also in trouble, exhausting Valve's funds, but the game produced makes Gable extremely dissatisfied and reprimands it as rubbish. Therefore, seeking cooperation is compelling. But what makes Gable really determined is the world war proposed by minh-le based on Lin Feng’s counter-strike online Asian interconnection plan-this is a first-person shooter game that will be globally interconnected and allow global players to play on the same server. , Gable is extremely optimistic about its prospects.

But it is not difficult to develop World War online, as long as you have money. But for global interconnection, it lacks a fatal software-Lin Feng's "cloud computing". Without Lin Global Interconnection, even the country would not be able to rush out. But "cloud computing" is now exclusively owned by Lin Feng, and Lin Feng does not plan to publish it, so he must cooperate with Lin Feng.

After thinking about it, Gable thought of merging with Linfeng Alliance and the two companies. With Lin Feng's financial resources and "cloud computing", coupled with his own technology, it is absolutely a match made in heaven, and Gable can also use this to get rid of the endless lawsuit with Xueleshan Company, why not do it. The only thing that makes Gabo Weiwei reluctant is that once the merger is bound to be based on Lin Feng's company, he will no longer be the CEO.

Of course, after the merger, in order to balance, Lin Feng gave Gable a "second world" vice president. It must not be able to run. In addition, Gable itself does not place much emphasis on rights. What he yearns for is success in game software. It also made Gable's determination to merge the two companies.

Lin Feng is not clear about these ideas of Gable, but this merger plan is extremely attractive. Lin Feng immediately called an emergency shareholders meeting to discuss this matter. Based on the importance of this matter, Li Zekai, who is far away in Hong Kong, also participated in the meeting by telephone.

"Everyone, what do you think of this plan?" Lin Feng asked.

Cui Ming, as the head of the first game development department of the "Second World", also owns 5% of the company's shares. He appreciates this plan, but is a bit repulsive. Although he now owns the development and maintenance rights of Legend and Audition in the "Second World", it is clear that these two games are not the company’s focus. The company’s previous focus was on online love under the sword. Once it merges with valve, this The World War must be the company's top priority. At that time, his position will inevitably be even more embarrassing. But in terms of professional ethics, Cui Ming still expressed his true opinion.

"Dong Lin, I think the merger plan of valve is completely acceptable, but our company must occupy a leading position. This cooperation will officially make our company a leader in the computer game industry." Cui Ming said.

Lin Feng nodded and looked at the other heads of the game development department.
