I drove for about an hour before I arrived at the hotel arranged by Valve...

A three-star hotel can be said to be very luxuriously decorated. After entering the room, I released the two guys Rolling Ball Beast and the Boy.

"My God, I can finally come out." The ball-rolling beast came out of the suitcase and gasped.

"You guys deserve it. You are so happy to stay at home. You don't want to, and you have to come out to live and suffer." Before Zhao Hao could speak, Toriya, who was beside him, walked to the two guys, tapped their heads gently with her hands, and said angrily.

He smiled embarrassedly, but didn't dare to speak.

"You two can only be in the room. You must know that you are illegally leaving the country. I have not issued a certificate for you. If you are discovered, be careful not to have your life." Zhao Hao said as he looked at the ball-rolling beast.

"All right, don't lie, boss, you're still in danger. At most, you will be sent to the stray dog ​​base." Hearing Zhao Hao's words, he and the ball beast were both using the same kind of don't lie to me. I looked at Zhao Hao with Menqing's eyes and said.

After taking a shower, they changed their clothes. After dinner, Zhao Hao and Toriya and Liu Dong followed James to Valve's company.

Unlike other large companies, Valve's company building looks good, but in terms of scale, it is much smaller than other company buildings of the same level.

Because Valve can be said to be the company with the least number of people among the first-class game companies.

There are only 300 people in the whole company.

Moreover, Valve's welfare benefits are also extremely envious for people in the industry. There are two months of holidays to Hawaii every year, which is called the Holiday V Club.

But it is undeniable that this company that has never been listed has extremely great creativity. Even if we talk about the steam platform they have made, it will even save the decline of PC computer games.

It can be said that more than 40% of the genuine games on the global PC market are sold on steam.

When you enter the gate of Valve, the first thing you see is a constantly rotating circular doll horse, and that tray is the red gate that will appear at the beginning of all Valve games.

Then, Li Hua and Liu Dong and others were excited to visit other places with the game.

The exhibition room has a collection of each of the first games released by Valve in 1996 to the latest products.

It can be said that it is just like a museum, with various collector's editions or ordinary figures, which opened the eyes of Zhao Hao and Liu Dong.

This is the foundation a large game company should have.

"What they are responsible for researching and developing is 'Counter-Terrorism Force 2'." Walking to a door, James said to Zhao Hao and the others with a smile.

He didn't go in and James wouldn't agree to them going in and visit.

Finally, James took Liu Dong and Li Hua and others to see Valve's own Origin 2 engine developed by the original.

"A powerful engine, this is the real game engine." After seeing this, he did not return to the hotel, but directly had a working meal at Valve Company. Li Hua said to Zhao Hao in a shock and excitement.

"It's indeed a very powerful engine, but our engine will never be bad. Learn hard and slowly transform our own engine. I have time and I have money. The rest depends on yours." Zhao Hao smiled and said to Li Hua and the others.

In fact, in Zhao Hao's opinion, the engine of Origin 2 is indeed very powerful, but it also has its unique shortcomings.

In fact, there is no engine with extremely comprehensive features and no shortcomings.

Hearing Zhao Hao's words, Li Hua and the others couldn't help but nod.

"The things in it are quite fun." Toriya grabbed a furry figure in her hand and said to Zhao Hao with a smile.

Li Hua and Liu Dong led a team to visit James and learn some of their techniques and exchange ideas about games.

Zhao Hao also made an appointment with G Fat Gab Newell to discuss cooperation matters. Toriya was very happy to play the game console and games in Valve.

After dinner, Liu Dong, Li Hua and others continued to communicate with James with Valve's team, while Tolia continued to play games in Valve's company.

"Mr. Zhao Hao?" In a room specially used to receive outside visitors, Gab Newell looked at Zhao Hao with a smile on his face next to the table.

Two cups of coffee are placed on the table.

"Hello, Mr. Newell." Zhao Hao nodded slightly with a smile on his face.

"Before this, I have been looking forward to seeing you because I can't wait to know what kind of person and what team I lead to create a great game like 'Minecraft'." Gab Newell said to Zhao Hao.

A creative game full of strange ideas, it can be said that it has created a new genre in the game.

"I am just an ordinary programmer, but I express my imagination in games." Zhao Hao smiled slightly and said to Gab Newell.

"In fact, what surprised me even more was that you actually opened the Touch D, and even opened the server specifically for Touch D. This is an unprecedented way." Gab Newell praised as he looked at Zhao Hao.

In fact, this approach is similar to most of Valve's games.

They are all officially supported and even provide open convenience.

"Because I know that game developers have limited games. If you really want to keep a game alive, you can only rely on the players themselves. In more cases, game developers are just template makers and order maintainers. How to play a game depends on the players." Zhao Hao smiled when he heard Gab Newell's words.

Just like a gunfight game, as long as the player is willing to play it in parkour, the gunfight game will become a parkour game. As for the developer's positioning, who will care about you?

"Indeed, game companies nowadays are all studying encryption technology, but in fact, instead of spending a lot of time and energy on developing encryption technology, it is better to think about how to improve the player's experience." Gab Newell said with some contempt.

Hearing Gab Newell's words, Zhao Hao couldn't help but nodded slightly.

In fact, if Zhao Hao did not have the ability brought by the Rolling Ball Beast, he would never have made any encryption programs. In fact, the encryption program of "Minecraft" is not very clever.

Zhao Hao then talked to Gab Newell about company management, which benefited Zhao Hao a lot. Of course, Zhao Hao's philosophy on the game also made Gab Newell amazed.

During the process, Gab Newell once again proposed the idea of ​​acquiring Zhao Hao's studio, but he was still rejected by Zhao Hao and didn't even listen to his offer.
