Giant of the times

Nintendo's kneeling caused a sensation in the industry, completely establishing Flamingo's dominance, and at the same time frightening other people with evil intentions.

Sega originally planned to enter the game console market, but after seeing the situation, it immediately retreated.

Just kidding, it doesn't want to be a second Nintendo.

Looking around the world, no company can challenge Flamingo Company. It can even be said that they dare not challenge!

The price of the challenge is death!

Third-party game developers are all submissive and willing to be exploited!

The Flamingo-2 game console swept the game console market, and players had no choice but to buy it.

The global gaming community can’t help but tremble!

The glory of Flamingo Company is more eye-catching and shocking than that of Nintendo in its previous life. When people talk about games, one word that comes to mind is "Flamingo"!

At this moment, Li Zetian came to Flamingo Company to formulate the company's development strategy with Nolan Bushnell and other company executives.

On January 1, 1985, Intel released the first-generation 32-bit processor Intel80386, which integrated 275,000 transistors, more than a hundred times that of the 4004 chip, and could process 5 million instructions per second. It is also the first processor with "multi-tasking" function. The so-called "multi-tasking" means that it can process the instructions of multiple programs at the same time, which has an important impact on the development of Microsoft's operating system. The 32-bit microprocessor has powerful and unparalleled computing power, and the application of personal computers has expanded to many fields, such as commercial office and computing, engineering design and computing, data centers, and personal entertainment. The 80386 made 32-bit CPUs the PC industry standard.

With the popularity of 32-bit personal computers, PC personal entertainment will soon rise. If Flamingo Company can seize the opportunity, it will soon dominate the PC game market.

In the 1980s, Electronic Arts (EA) in the United States focused almost all of its attention on the release of personal computer games, and since then it has grown and become a large game company with a market value of more than 30 billion US dollars.

However, Li Zetian would not give this opportunity to the other party, especially since the founder of EA is Tripp Hawkins, an employee who left Apple. If he were defeated by the opponent, Li Zetian would be disgraced.

meeting room.

Li Zetian said in a deep voice: "Intel has released a 32-bit processor, and Flamingo Company can also start to develop the third-generation game console, striving to be technologically ahead of other companies, leaving others behind! If any company launches If the 16-bit game console competes with the Flamingo Company for business, then the Flamingo Company can come up with a 32-bit game console to crush it, just like the 16-bit second-generation Flamingo game console crushed Nintendo's 8-bit FC games. Same machine."

Everyone nodded frequently in agreement.

"In addition, Flamingo Company will also begin to enter the PC game market in a big way, which is no less important than TV games. I believe that PC games will shine with dazzling glory in the future!"

Compared with TV games, Li Zetian is more fond of PC games, such as "Red Alert", "Star Wars", "Warcraft", "CS", "Cross Fire", "DNF", "DOTA", and "League of Legends" The games are all very fun.

The key is that the PC game show operation has a sense of achievement. Before time travel, Li Zetian was considered a master of "League of Legends". He also participated in local League of Legends competitions. He was very good at playing Enchantress, and he couldn't find the opponent he killed. . Li Zetian believes that if he becomes a professional LOL player, he will definitely become a top player and lead the Chinese team to win the world championship. However, this is not his ambition. Instead, he wants to be like Bill Gates and become a billionaire by writing software.

In the conference room, Li Zetian began to teach everyone the key points of PC game development and classified them into: real-time strategy games, fighting games, third-person shooter games, role-playing games, action games, racing games, etc.

After everyone heard this, they were all shocked and exclaimed that Li Zetian was born to be a master of game design. "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading."

Li Zetian then continued: "The key factor in the quality of a game lies in the game engine. It can even be said that the game engine is the foundation of a game! With the improvement of game graphics, 3D game graphics have become the future development trend. Not only It is only used for TV games, but will also be widely used for PC games. Therefore, 3D engine technology will be the top priority of Flamingo Company, and Flamingo Company must invest huge amounts of money and manpower to develop 3D engine technology!!!"

"Yes!!!" Seeing Li Zetian's solemn attitude, everyone nodded in response, thinking that they must devote all their energy to developing a 3D game engine. Once the game engine is developed, it will be much easier to develop games. In fact, games are developed on the basis of game engines, and different games can be developed with the same game engine.

For game developers, it is well known that the game engine is the foundation. It is like an engine that controls the operation of the game.

Simply put, game = engine + resources.

"Game engine" includes the following systems: rendering engine (i.e., "renderer", including two-dimensional image engine and three-dimensional image engine), physics engine, collision detection system, sound effects, script engine, computer animation, artificial intelligence, network engine and scene Management and so on.

"Game resources" include images, sounds, animations, etc.

This is why Li Zetian values ​​game engines so much.

If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. With a good game engine, you don't have to worry about not being able to develop good games! !

After the chat, Li Zetian left.

Later, he went to Intel to learn more about the Intel 80386 chip and the company.

With the rise of personal computers, the microprocessor market has boomed, and Intel is also facing many competitors. Zilog and Motorola have become strong competitors to Intel with their comparable chip products. At the same time, Big Blue IBM was secretly researching its own CPU-286, and AMD also began to get involved in the field of CPU manufacturing.

How can Intel Corporation defend its market position? The only way is to launch a more advanced processor, so the 32-bit Intel80386 came into being!

"If Intel didn't authorize AMD to produce Intel's 8086 chips and 80286 chips, where did it develop?! Well, now AMD has actually begun to get involved in the field of CPU manufacturing. It's clear that it wants to drive Intel off its seat! "In the conference room, an executive said angrily, "However, fortunately we have developed a more powerful Intel80386 chip. This time, I think we must not license the technology to AMD! And we have done so before. The reason why the technology is licensed to AMD is because of the mandatory requirements of IBM, but now, IBM is nothing!!!!"

After speaking, he looked at Li Zetian.
