But this person’s idea for online competitions is amazing.
This was July 1994, and wide-area networks were still in their infancy. Although online games had been born as early as 1969, they were not taken seriously by anyone. Alexey actually saw the potential in this, and he really had a wicked vision!
Thinking of this, Li Xiucheng clapped his hands.
Bang bang bang~
Kochka next to her saw the satisfied look on her boss's face and didn't dare to neglect him. She also clapped her hands and looked at Alexei cautiously.
Obviously, it is a sure thing that this person will join the company, and his position is certainly not low.
I have to unite with this new colleague, otherwise, if I make a mistake at work in the future and the other party reports to the big boss, it will be the end of the world!
Thinking of this, he gave the other party a thumbs up: "Mr. Alexei, what you said is great!"
Alexey was also very happy to receive the applause of the two people. After a moment, he smiled and said: "Mr. Li sent it off when he was satisfied. What about the second question?"
"The second question..." Li Xiucheng protracted his voice, and when the other party was fully focused, he suddenly laughed strangely and said: "When can I officially go to work!"
Ga?
Alexey was stunned, this... does this mean that he passed the test?
After reacting, he said excitedly: "Today... no, tomorrow, just tomorrow! I have to find an apartment to move here today. The farm is too far away from here, and it is inconvenient to commute to and from get off work. In addition, I have to find a house to move to." Personally help me take care of the farm.”
"Okay! I just like how resolute you are!"
After Li Xiucheng finished speaking, he snapped his fingers, and then ordered to Kochka: "First let Alexei serve as the deputy leader of the game department development team to familiarize himself with the company's work, and then divide a group from the newly recruited personnel. "
"Two game development teams?" Kochka was a little surprised. He felt that this was not very reasonable and would cause a waste of resources.
Of course Li Xiucheng knew what Kochka was thinking, and said calmly: "Yes for the time being, but each has his or her own differences. As for the future, let's see who performs better!"
That is to say, the winner is king!
Kochka nodded to express his understanding, but Alexei next to him had a fighting spirit on his face. He was not afraid of challenges, and the promotion opportunities gained by challenging the opponent in this way would be more precious and give people a greater sense of accomplishment.
"Don't worry, boss, I will do my best."
“Oh, it’s good to have confidence, but don’t be careless.
Now you can take advantage of the team building time to think about what games your team will make. "
"Huh? Not improving Tetris?" Alexei said in a daze.
"Of course not." Li Xiucheng spread his hands and asked seriously: "Do you think the improved Tetris will have a substantial improvement? Note that the essence I said is not just to stimulate people slightly for a longer period of time. Don’t play with him, but surpass him in terms of sales, profits and influence!”
"this..."
Alexei hesitated again and again, but still smiled bitterly and said: "It's difficult! No, I should say impossible."
After all, it is a game that has been released for several years. Although the sales are booming, people's novelty has passed. Even if he improves the game mode and adds LAN online function, it will only stimulate him to spread a wave of residual heat and want to produce a qualitative game. Leap is basically impossible.
"Yes, so there is definitely no need to fight a battle that is destined to fail." Li Xiucheng said with a cowardly expression and then changed the subject: "But, the online improvement work of Tetris cannot be done either. Falling down, just not in the first place.
In other words, you have two tasks, to complete the improvement of Tetris on the premise of making a new game.
How is it? Do you have confidence? "
"I'm confident! But what's the new game for?"
Alexei didn't have any concept of a new game in his mind, and he didn't think that Li Xiucheng would completely let him go and mess around.
"This is simple!" Li Xiucheng casually pulled a piece of white paper from Kochka's desk, then picked up a pen and wrote a string of eagle letters.
“C..o…u…n…t…e…r…”
Kochka and Alexei read out the letters one by one while Li Xiucheng was writing.
"Counter Strike! Counter Strike?"
Finally, looking at the two big words on the paper, Alexey murmured to himself. Although he still didn't understand the specific content of the game, just reading the name made him feel like his whole body was being flooded with electricity. a feeling of.
This feeling was so wonderful that it made his soul tremble.
Looking back at Kochka, he stared at these two words and said with admiration: "Although I don't know what the content of the game is, it feels very powerful."
I don’t know whether his words were flattery or sincere praise. Li Xiucheng pointed at two words and said with a smile: "Terrorist thought appeared in the late period of World War II, but its true power was formed from the post-war period to the late 1960s. .
Various terrorist activities are also being staged all over the world. Since ancient times, where there are contradictions, there will naturally be shields. Where there is terrorism, there will naturally be counter-terrorism. Therefore, the theme of our new game is the showdown between terrorism and counter-terrorism. "
Just a theme setting made Alexey excited: "This is a theme that has never appeared before, it's great!
Mr. Li, you obviously already have a draft, please let me know everything, and I will develop the game perfectly. "
Kochka glanced at Alexey and thought that this kid didn't have any embarrassment at all and asked Mr. Li directly for a plan. In this way, the competition would be unfair from the beginning.
However, when the boss is doing things, he will not be stupid enough to talk too much. He can only mourn for Dexy Han for three seconds in his heart!
Li Xiucheng didn't know that Kochka had so many inner dramas. At this time, he continued to explain his thoughts.
“The first thing I want to say is that I intend this to be a series of games.
We are now developing the first game chapter: Origins.
This is the time when terrorism emerged, which is set a little after the end of World War II, around 1960.
A series of level battles take place from the perspective of two to five Interpol police officers to discover terrorism and solve terrorist incidents caused by the other party.
For example, break through levels to rescue hostages, break through strongholds to disarm bombs, destroy the lair of terrorist organizations, and so on.
The requirements of the game are that it must have a refreshing sense of attack and an ever-accelerating game rhythm, so that players can be immersed in the game.
The other is the most important online function.
Players will be able to play games with other players through LAN and dial-up networks. Of course, this may require some servers. You are the expert in this regard and I won’t say more. "
