Vol 2 Chapter 294: A billion dollar game
Chapter 294 The One Billion Dollar Game
Lin Feng glanced at the crowd and motioned them to express their views on this idea of minh. Although Lin Feng admired this plan very much, he still understood the idea of brainstorming. What's more, if you always speak up, the blow to the top executives of the company is certainly not small.
"I agree. If this plan is successful, I believe that this world war will become the most successful game in history." Cui Ming was the first to agree, "As for funding, I believe Audition's all-star lineup will definitely bring the company. Absolutely huge profits beyond imagination."
Cui Mingze's attitude is also the attitude of several other ministers. Everyone is a game maker, and it is always a pleasure to witness an excellent work come out.
"I agree in principle, but if Minh's plan is followed, I am afraid that the funds for developing a world war will exceed one billion US dollars." After careful calculation, Wu Zhaopu frowned.
One billion US dollars to develop a game is not just unprecedented, I am afraid there will be no one to come. But can the current capital chain of the "Second World" support the development of this game? In history, too many companies ran out of funds because of their grand plans, which eventually led to decline or even destruction. Wu Zhaopu doesn't want the "Second World" to follow in this footsteps.
Wu Zhaopu's worries are also Lin Feng's worries. That was not the case with the "Apple" company back then. The "lisa database" that was painstakingly developed not only exhausted "Apple"'s funds, but also because the price was too expensive, it was too expensive. ——Even Americans can’t afford it, let alone other countries in the world. In the end, "Apple" also began to decline because of this.
1 billion US dollars to develop a game, if it spreads out, Lin Feng can be sure that all newspapers and magazines in the world tomorrow will have only one title-the crazy "Second World".
However, this plan is indeed very tempting. During the game, it is indeed very tempting to visit all major cities around the world, and to be able to wreak havoc in the city.
When Wu Zhaopu saw Lin Feng's eyes, he knew he was going to suffer. My own young boss must have begun to fall into the illusion of a bright future. Indeed, this idea is very tempting, and Wu Zhaopu himself is looking forward to it, but there is no doubt that this idea requires too much capital and is an absolute heavy burden on the "Second World".
"Dong Lin, there is not only a financial problem, but there is also a problem. Even if we develop it, can the player's computer bear it? Can the computer configuration after three years be able to withstand such game requirements? Three-dimensional holographic maps of major cities around the world, What kind of computer configuration is needed to be able to play!" Wu Zhaopu thought for a while and tried to persuade Lin Feng from another angle.
Everyone thought for a while. Indeed, if the game is developed but the player’s computer cannot run, it will undoubtedly be even more miserable.
Minh-le sighed, knowing that this idea might be shelved. The world war can only get rid of these ideas. Although without these plans, minh-le believes that world war will still be the best game, but it is full of regrets. .
Lin Feng was also contemplative. In terms of funds, Lin Feng believes that he still has the ability to solve the problem, at most he can inject capital again. But if the player's computer doesn't support it, Lin Feng will be incapable. Lin Feng can't give every player who plays the world war a computer that can support the world war. That is undoubtedly crazier, not to mention it is absolutely impossible to implement.
"Tuk, tuk, tuk" Lin Feng kept tapping his fingers on the table, the meeting room was quiet, and everyone was waiting for Lin Feng's final ruling.
Lin Feng is searching for the future direction of computer development in his mind. Such games may require at least "dual core" to run, and the graphics card must be at least ati4850 or gt9800 or above, which will take at least 5-7 years. Waiting 5-7 years before launching the World War, Lin Feng felt that it was too long. Moreover, there is a very good idea and plan, but it can't be implemented, which is also a grind.
and many more! ——Lin Feng suddenly thought that today's computer hardware manufacturers, such as "intel", are not without more advanced technology. They only postpone the sale of new hardware out of interest. Think about "in the beginning", if there weren't amd and its competition, I am afraid that the "Pentium 4" cpu used now does not know when and how long it will be available.
In my memory, the real rise of amd was based on the "64bit" processor and began to become a company that could threaten "intel". However, in the previous few years, "amd" took many detours and even wrong paths. If I can reveal the development direction of "cpu" to "amd" in the next few years, then "amd" can take less detours, and can pull "intel" off the world in advance and detonate fierce cpu competition in advance. At this time, "intel" must face it. I am afraid that the "dual-core" era will come ahead of schedule.
Lin Feng remembered that "intel" said-the market determines the sales volume, the sales volume determines the price, the price determines the profit, and the profit determines the technological update.
When a product is profitable, there will be no newer technology. Only when profits are weak, manufacturers will continue to develop new technologies to seize new markets. This is a cycle!
Thinking of this, Lin Feng had an idea!
"I~~~" Lin Feng opened his mouth and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Technically, I think there is no problem. The development of computers is always changing with each passing day. I believe that after the development of the World War, the computer configuration at that time will definitely meet the needs. And this time we are cooperating with Blizzard to develop a new engine technology, I believe that we are optimizing This aspect must be greatly enhanced. It can greatly reduce the game's demand for computer configuration." Lin Feng assuredly said.
Everyone was slightly taken aback. However, the development of computer hardware is indeed always beyond people's imagination, and no one knows what the future will be like.
auzw.com "Dong Lin..." The conservative Wu Zhaopu still wanted to discourage.
"Okay, minh, just do as you said. However, when entrusting other companies to make the 3D holographic map, I want the full copyright of the 3D holographic map. This will be handled by Mr. Wu, and Mr. Wu will be responsible for contacting the relevant company. Negotiate." Lin Feng said.
Seeing that Lin Feng had agreed, Wu Zhaopu could only choose to accept it. Although he still has many worries about this plan, he hopes that Lin Feng's decision is right.
"Also, Mr. Wu, you can negotiate with the governments of various countries. There will be maps of cities on the yellow pages of the governments. We can promise to help them design three-dimensional holographic maps. In this way, the cost of the three-dimensional holographic maps we produce may be It can be passed on to the governments of various countries, and perhaps a fortune can be made." Lin Feng quipped.
Everyone's eyes lit up. In this Internet age, in the future, countries and cities will certainly produce three-dimensional holographic maps to satisfy people in other cities to visit. This is a business opportunity. Since it will be done sooner or later, it is better to do it by your own company.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the funding problem could be solved, that would be great. As for the technical problem, even if the player can't play, the big deal will be delayed by a few years at most.
The happiest one is naturally Minh, but after solving this problem, he has an idea in his mind.
"Boss, I propose to increase the flexibility of the characters in the world war." Minh said.
Everyone was taken aback again.
"The world war we are developing now is modeled after the counter-strike, but in the world war game, I think a single jump and squat will not meet the needs of players. There are more actions: such as climbing, Crawl forward, lie down, etc. But this is a brand new action system. My development team is not good at it. I like the boss you can buy a similar company and join in to help us develop the world war. And now the members of the development department are still Too little, the progress is too slow." Minh said expectantly.
The directors of several major game development departments were pleasantly surprised. This is a good idea, which can further increase the fun of the game.
"But will this make the game operation too difficult?" Lin Feng asked doubtfully.
"We can simplify, don't have to do as complicated as an action game, just enrich some necessary body movements available on the battlefield." Minh said.
Lin Feng nodded.
"Uh, minh, I want to ask, if you increase these, how much do you estimate the cost of game development?" Wu Zhaopu asked helplessly.
"Uh, this, this, I'm afraid the budget will increase by about 10%." Minh said a little ashamed.
Everyone was shocked.
"Okay, let's put it this way, anyway, 1 billion is out, and I don't care if the 100 million is more. But in this case, we must pursue perfection and make the world war the most successful game in history. If it fails, minh, we Just throw you down in the Pacific Ocean and let you swim back to the United States by yourself." Lin Feng said jokingly.
"Definitely!" Minh nodded heavily.
"How is the current status of Counter-Strike Online?" Lin Feng asked again.
"Currently, the highest number of online users has exceeded 4 million, and the average number of online users is 1.2 million. In addition, companies in several other Asian countries, such as India, Pakistan, Singapore, Thailand and other countries, have also sent us consultation and join letters." Wu Zhaopu said.
"Well, as long as the other party's conditions permit, let him join. The more countries you join, the more popular this game will be." Lin Feng nodded.
Everyone thinks so too. Only China, Japan, South Korea, and the four regions of Taiwan are ranked. Although they are hot now, as time goes on, everyone will get tired of playing. The more countries there are, the more intense the competition.
"Dong Lin, we have developed a new expansion for Counter-Strike online and have been able to upgrade the game." Minh confidently said.
He is extremely confident in this brand new expansion!
