Views:

The game development gods have joined the Flamingo company to the surprise of the media.

The editor-in-chief of Popular Electronics said: "Chronos Li's wife sold a gaming empire and made more than $3 billion. If Flamingo beat Sunbird, it means Chronos Li is only spending a little money. Another multi-billion dollar gaming empire has been re-created! And the shareholders who bought Sunbird may not be able to recover the cost and lose a lot..."

"American Video Game Magazine": "Due to the monopoly of the Atari 2600 home game console, American players can only play games on the game console platform, but the shoddy game works are very disgusting to players. Players are generally very disappointed with Sunbird! On the contrary, they are full of expectations for Flamingo, and almost unanimously believe that only Chronos Li is the one who really understands games, and only he can design fun and durable classic games! "

"Wall Street Journal": "Sunbird has a serious brain drain, and its gaming dominance is crumbling!!!"

Li Zetian didn't expect his appeal to be so strong. There were 65 people who had just jumped over from Atari and Sunbird, and among them were many familiar faces. In addition, together with other new employees who applied for the job, in just one week, the Flamingo company has grown strong, and the number of employees has reached 452. Nolan Bushnell is the company's CEO.

After the establishment of the Flamingo Company, Li Zetian came to the company.

When everyone saw him, they immediately surrounded him.

"Hello Mr. Li, I'm Duke Dickie who followed you from the beginning, do you remember me? Since you left Sunbird, Sunbird has never developed a classic game, we Follow you!"

"Yeah, Mr. Li, Sunbird is no longer the Sunbird it used to be. The commercial nature is too heavy. They only focus on making more games to make money, but don't care about the quality of the games! Those of us are like walking dead, making junk games. , no work enthusiasm at all!"

"Hello Mr. Li, although I didn't work at Sunbird, I grew up playing the games you developed!" a young designer said excitedly.

A black line appeared on Li Zetian's forehead. Look at what he said, I am so young...

"First of all, welcome everyone to the Flamingo Company," Li Zetian looked around, paused, and said, "At the same time, thank you for believing in me and willing to join the Flamingo Company. I know that many of you have even given up come to join my company. Here, I can assure you that you will not be treated badly. In addition, Flamingo will never make any junk games! If we don’t make games, we will make them if we want to. Be sure to make classic games! Please remember the company's slogan: Flamingo products must be excellent!"

Everyone couldn't help but be infected by Li Zetian's passionate and confident words, and they all shouted excitedly: "The product of Flamingo must be a fine product!!!"

"… "

Li Zetian smiled and nodded, then crossed the crowd and came to the conference room.

Then, important executives of the company followed suit.

Li Zetian took a sip of water, organized the language in his heart, and then said: "The main development direction of Flamingo Company is home games, and it is divided into two departments. The first department is hardware and game console development department; the second department is software. , the game development department.

In order to speed up the efficiency and perform their respective duties, the game development department is divided into five game development groups, each of which is responsible for the development of a game. These five games are "Super Mario", "Contra", "Tank Battle", "Double Dragon" and "Saloman Serpent". Relevant information, I will send it to you later, but be sure to ask employees to sign a non-disclosure agreement, and do not allow the information to be leaked! These materials are just a game framework, and the specific content still needs to be filled in by game designers. "

"Mr. Li, are these games designed by you alone?"

Li Zetian nodded, and then said, "For the past four years, although I have been in a coma on the surface, my brain is awake. I have nothing to do, so I designed some games!"

Everyone looked surprised.

"As for the home game console," Li Zetian didn't remember the configuration of the FC, but he knew that it was using Mos6502 with a CPU clocked at 1.8MHz. The Mos6507 used in the Atari 2600 home game console has a CPU frequency of 1.17HMz, and the two are still quite different.

He thought about it and said, "The CPU uses an 8-bit 6502 chip. Intel's 16-bit chip is too expensive, and home game consoles don't need such a good CPU now."

When everyone heard the words, they nodded.

"The CPU has been decided, and then it will be handed over to the game console development department for discussion. Be sure to give me a design plan as quickly as possible." After Li Zetian finished speaking, he looked at Nolan Bushnell.

"Well, Mr. Li, don't worry, I will urge them to come up with the best design plan." Nolan Bushnell nodded and said.

Li Zetian nodded with a smile. With Nolan Bushnell around, he was quite relieved. After getting the design plan, he analyzed the feasibility of the plan with his own vision beyond this era. Naturally, there was no problem at all.

Later, Li Zetian continued: "In addition to these, I also designed a small thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood beside Li Zetian, and Dongfang Yuqin, the secretary, distributed the materials.

"This thing is called an electronic pet. It's a very simple game machine. It is only controlled by three buttons, A, B, and C. It introduces a novel simulation breeding system, hatches pet eggs, feeds pets, bathes them, heals diseases, entertains them, etc... "

Everyone looked at the pictures on the design drawings and couldn't help but be attracted by its cute appearance.

"Many families are inconvenient to keep a real pet, and it is quite interesting to have an electronic pet, and the fun of this game is precisely that you can experience the fun of keeping pets. Electronic pets are easy to carry, cute, and in addition It can also accompany the elderly to relieve boredom. I believe that its great charm will definitely create a cross-generational fan base for it, which will be deeply loved by people. Of course, it will also bring huge profits to the Flamingo Company! It's up to it to make a good start!" Li Zetian smiled confidently.

Back then, the Toma Songzi developed by RB Bandai caused a worldwide craze as soon as it was launched and became a phenomenon-level product. Since then, the product has been continuously updated, and every time it is released, it will enter the top 10 position in the RB game sales list and continue to sell well! And also launched many movies and animations!

Li Zetian remembered that when he was an orphan in his previous life, he picked up no less than 20 electronic pet game consoles from the school trash can. At that time, the animation "4WD Kid" was introduced into mainland China, setting off a "4WD boom". You can often see girls playing with electronic pets and boys holding mini 4WDs.

As soon as the meeting was over, everyone left the conference room with a smile. At this moment, they have firmly believed that it is inevitable that Flamingo Company will replace Sunbird Company as the overlord of the game industry.

"Chronos · Li alone is better than thousands of troops!"

"Success is easy, and failure is easy! Sunbird has become the overlord of the game industry because of Chronos Li, and it will also become a stepping stone for Flamingo because of Chronos Li. His endless genius ideas will make everyone Competitors are desperate! Extremely desperate!!!"

Some Chinese employees can't help but feel proud of having such an outstanding Chinese compatriot. He is like a mountain that can never reach the sky, making people look up!
