Super Game Empire

The flaws of the 3D game engine? John became very alert and asked in disbelief: "Are you saying that you found the design flaws of the doom engine? Are you sure you found it?"

Yang Yun deliberately did not give a positive answer, but looked at the young man and said with a smile: "Bill Gates founded Microsoft before he graduated from university, and Jobs also dropped out of college to create Apple. I only have a high school degree in China and have not studied.

After college. And now I met another guy named John Carmack, who also has a bright future! Does this mean that heroes don’t like to go to college, or does it mean that people who have gone to college cannot become heroes?”

John was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that Yang Yun was praising him in disguise.

So he said with a smile: "You are not exactly the same as those businessmen I have seen with a smell of copper. Please come with me, let's go to the laboratory to discuss technical issues! Tell us about the design flaws you think,

I can explain it to you one by one, and by the way, I think doom is flawless!"

The two entered the id laboratory. There were more than ten computers and dedicated test hosts in the 50-square-meter room. Five or six employees were busy in front of their workbenches. They were not surprised at all when they saw John and Yang Yun coming in.

.

Yang Yun noticed that two locations were empty, but he could see that people often used them there. He laughed secretly. These must be two employees dug up by KTT Company.

John signaled an employee to run the Dos version of the game on his computer, and he introduced proudly: "Mr. Yang, our Doom1 has 1 million copies sold on PC. This is a miracle in the history of 3D first-person shooting games.

Many players even actively buy expensive PCs to play this game. So I really want to hear you tell me what design flaws are there."

The operator who performed the demonstration was just like a demonstration. He controlled the protagonist of the game to kill enemies in a frantically. Judging from the game screen, the corresponding speed, fluency, and model details were all exquisite and realistic, and the effect was first-class. This game can be said to be in the 3D game.

At the peak of technology, no game at this stage can surpass it.

It’s no wonder that “doom1” is a platinum game with sales of millions. Of course, it makes sense to be fun!

But Yang Yun just smiled faintly, without mentioning other content, and only asked one question: "What is your networking function?"

The smile on John's face instantly solidified, and then became slightly embarrassed.

Yang Yun knew very well that he hit the fatal point of IC because the online combat function of "doom1" is very weak. To be honest, it should be quite bad!

Online technology is part of the game engine, using the famous first-person shooting game Cs as an example. Among the official maps of Cs, two maps are very popular, Dust2, which does bomb disposal missions, and Bloodst Day Ke, which is a multiplayer melee.

In the dust2 map, .5v5 is the competition standard. Generally, LAN battles are used, and the speed is very fast and there is almost no delay. Of course, there are also some sporadic players who do not have teams, and they also like to play this balanced and first-class map.

Sporadic players have other choices. If you are registered genuine users, after the computer is connected to the Internet, you can choose the inter network mode and play Dust2 with players from all over the world.

Many networked servers have a maximum of 32 people. If the Internet speed is good and the information data exchange between the personal computer and the server is stable, then this player will definitely not have too many delays, and the game will be considered smooth.

But when the internet speed is not good, entering this big map to play games is to find abuse. Often, before you see the enemy, you will be shot at the head with a sniper, or you will be shot as close as you see the enemy flying, and you will be killed with a dagger.

Death yourself, gameover.

So when the Internet is not smooth enough, many people prefer to play small map bloodst daily ke, shortcut keys to buy weapons, flashing balls, holding grenades to charge, fighting in a swarm, in a small and crowded indoor building, killing blood in the fire, paying attention to the utmost attention

All is the pleasure of charging and shooting!

Gamers pay attention to gameplay, while peers are more concerned about technical issues.

Programmers found that no matter whether it is the super-large map Dust2 or bloodst, ​​there is almost no delay in the LAN game, and it is extremely smooth. Whether it is 10 people or 32 people fighting, there is almost no slowdown.

This is the power of Valve's game engine. Compared with the doom engine of ID, it cannot be compared.

Yang Yun pointed out their flaws in one sentence. The game "doom1" suggests that the number of online players is 4, but after connecting to the Internet, there will still be delays and slowdowns. This is a flaw and a natural flaw in the game engine.

John was a little embarrassed. He couldn't say that he was awesome in this regard because this was a fact that could not be concealed.

He thought that Internet technology has not developed now, and everyone plays various PC games in the form of playing stand-alone. This small flaw in "Doom1" is a minor problem that does not conceal its merits, and most people will not notice this.

But he was wrong. Yang Yun was most concerned about this issue. His vision was indeed fierce!

And the key point now is that John wants to know Yang Yun’s real intention, just to belittle them, point out this flaw, deliberately read the jokes of id company, or does he have a good solution and want to use it to threaten it?

"Mr. Yang, do you have any good suggestions?" John asked hesitantly. Suddenly he remembered something. Longteng developed the game "Sarroman Snake: Dune 1993" on the SS platform, allowing players to pass the data line

Join the docking and playing games together. Has Longteng already mastered the core technology of multiplayer online games?

Yang Yun still did not answer positively, but said with emotion: "Internet technology is developing rapidly. I think within three years, PC and the Internet will enter a lot of family life. If you want to get more battle games,

With the support of multiplayer, the bottleneck of multiplayer networking games must be solved first. There are too few players fighting against each other. Do you think this is enough?"

John lowered his head embarrassedly. Of course, 4-player online battles are far from enough. However, the doom engine is indeed a bit weak in online battle functions. Now it looks very suitable for friends to play together in a small LAN. This is just a self-comfort.

What game only allows 4 people to fight online, and it is not stuck?

This is the biggest flaw of the doom engine!

Yang Yun no longer pursues this flaw, but looks at John patiently and says sincerely: "Mr. Carmack, Longteng will definitely not only develop in the TV game industry in the future, and PC games will also be ours.

Key points.

I am the owner of Longteng Company, 100% of the company holds stakes in this company and has absolute authority in the company. Now I sincerely invite you to join Longteng to jointly develop 3D games, solve various technical problems together, and lead the trend of the game industry. I don’t know if you have

Not interested?”

John was silent. He could understand what Yang Yun meant. So many company presidents had asked him for various purchase prices such as 5 million, 10 million, 20 million, but no one succeeded.

The strongest of these companies is EA, the most powerful game production company in North America, listed companies, and Wall Street financiers control.

The most enthusiastic and proactive company is KTT. Although its strength is not too strong, the vice presidents and presidents came forward one after another and discussed it with them 8 times in total.

Now, the president of Longteng personally comes forward, and is a well-deserved overlord in the global TV game industry. Whenever he takes action, CEA takes action himself.

If John rejects Yang Yun, it is conceivable that Longteng will never be entangled with id like other companies. He hits this with just one hit and makes a decision on the spot.

"I want to ask if we still refuse to sell..." John asked solemnly: "Will Longteng see us as competitors?"

Yang Yun smiled and said, "To be honest, Longteng's most important TV game "Tomb Raider" in 1994 will be launched soon. This is also a classic work of 3D action games. In some effects, it will even be strong.

Going through doom a little bit. Longteng doesn’t mind being a competitor with id. Companies with richer, more powerful technology and more famous brands are all falling under Longteng’s feet, either going bankrupt or being acquired!”

John was speechless, he had already expected this result!

This is such a nasty ending!

At this time, several ID employees were surrounded by Yang Yun. They were not only employees, but also one of the shareholders. No one was more worried about their future destiny.

Yang Yun said calmly: "I don't want to say anything else. There is an old saying in China, "I will pay it sooner or later." Since we all chose the path of game production, we will have to do anything in the future.

You have to bear it yourself.”

After leaving id-software, Yang Yun left very simply and did not drag him down at all.

When he returned to the hotel, he met Brown who was waiting anxiously. The first thing he said was: "After I leave, you will continue to harass the company, maintain a good relationship with them, and often contact them. Longteng "Tomb Raider"

》The day when the game is launched is the best time for you to acquire id!”

Brown asked in surprise: "Did you convince them?"

Yang Yun smiled and waved his hand: "This is just an opportunity. How can such a arrogant technology company easily admit defeat? Only by truly launching a high-tech product and defeating them in the place they are most proud of will they admit defeat and beg for mercy.

!Not to talk about id company, let’s go to distinctive. I want to apply the new 3D new engine technology to the latest games!" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
