Game Development Giant

Jester's plan to market his American Cube-powered arcade machine in Los Angeles didn't go so well at first.

When the owners of the two arcades at the beginning heard about Jester's visit, they didn't even look at "American Cube" and laughed at him as a crazy lunatic. What did a nineteen-year-old kid know? Playing a game, and then being pushed and scolded directly out of it.

This frustrated Jester, who originally thought the plan would be foolproof.

Because he had calculated everything and thought of all the possibilities, but he never thought that the other party might make a conclusion without even looking at the content of the game.

But there is an old saying that goes well, misfortune comes, and blessings depend on it.

When he found the third arcade game store called 'Jeddy's House' near Baldwin Park on West Covina Street, he received a warm welcome from the owner of this store.

This feeling seemed to make Jester feel that he was a big star and was recognized by his enthusiastic fans.

Jester, who still didn't understand the situation, inquired carefully and found out that the game store owner named Jedi Sparks visited a friend's house in Costa Mesa a few days ago and heard about the popularity of "American Cube" After that, I queued up to try it out. Unexpectedly, I was deeply attracted by this game and became an avid fan of this game.

Originally, he planned to order several arcade machines called "American Cube" after returning to Los Angeles. In addition to his particular love for them, as a professional arcade worker and a relatively experienced video game player in this era,

Coupled with the owner of an arcade game store, he undoubtedly saw the huge business opportunities in "Tetris".

He felt that if he could launch the game first in Los Angeles, he would definitely make a lot of money. To his knowledge, he hasn't heard of any arcade stores in Los Angeles carrying the game.

Because such a popular game is like a firefly in the night and cannot be hidden at all. Once it is released, it will definitely cause a sensation.

But a problem arose. What he didn't expect was that when he returned to Los Angeles and asked the Schwere company he had been ordering from, he learned that their company did not currently have the arcade machine he mentioned called "American Cube".

This answer surprised him. Didn't the producer of that game let Schwere, the largest seller of entertainment equipment in California, sell it on his behalf?

This is impossible!

Thinking of this, he quickly contacted several other sales companies and received exactly the same reply. They did not have an arcade product called "American Cube".

But this did not make Jedi Sparks give up. He planned to go to Costa Mesa again to ask the supermarket owner who had five "American Cubes" arcade machines where he got such fun. of the game.

Unexpectedly, Jester actually came to the door himself.

When someone falls asleep, someone immediately brings a pillow.

What does it mean to be greeted by gentle rain after a long drought? What does it mean to meet an old friend in a foreign country?

That's it.

So Jester received a very warm welcome from Jedi Sparks. Especially when he heard why the big dealers were not allowed to distribute the goods quickly, he immediately cursed. Those dealers were really a bunch of blind bastards.

Of course, when he heard what Jester said about the price of a $5,000 machine and the full payment in advance, he rolled his eyes and looked as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. He looked at Jester's eyes. , it’s the same as looking at an SB, but fortunately, he still wants to buy an arcade machine from Jester, so there is no obvious leak.

Jester didn't take it seriously either. He now realized that the price he gave him at the beginning was indeed very cheating for him, an unknown designer.

It was impossible for any sales company to agree to his offer.

However, he has no regrets, because "American Cube" is worth the price, and he has never thought of selling gold at a low price so that others can take advantage of it.

Things went even smoother than Jester expected. Jeddy Spike didn't even need to conduct the three-day trial operation to see how the game was. After all, he had seen it personally. This game was the best in Costa Mesa. It was so popular that he immediately decided to buy all five machines, and he also promised that several friends he knew also owned arcade game arcades, and he would definitely be able to sell "American Cube" to them.

However, he also asked by the way, can the price be cheaper? For example, three thousand US dollars is a very high price for arcade machines. Five thousand US dollars for a machine is really a bit expensive.

Jester just smiled after hearing this, and then firmly rejected the other party's request.

He has said before that "American Cube" is worth the price. He will never sell gold at a low price, and he does not need others to promote it.

But Jester also made a special statement that the price of $5,000 this time is a friendly price. When this game becomes popular, it will not only be this price.

After hearing that Jester had no intention of lowering the price, Jedi Spike reluctantly agreed.

After delivering five machines to Jedi Spike and receiving a full twenty-five thousand dollars, Jester did not go back directly, although for him, time was very tight now and he still had a lot to do. , such as developing the next game, etc., but then again, he is not short of such a little time.

Jester had never been to Los Angeles in his previous life. He didn't know how charming this place, known as the most beautiful city on the West Coast, was. To make up for the regrets in his previous life, Jester planned to take a good tour. And he also wanted to go to his alma mater in this world, the University of California, Los Angeles, UCL, a name that shines brightly in university rankings around the world. When Jester was still Li Ming, he could only stay away. A world-class school that you can watch but not play with.

I remember that he had also admired the photo of the big blue bear statue of UCL many times back then, but he never expected that the identity he would obtain after his rebirth was that of a UCL student.

It can be regarded as fulfilling his dream of another world in disguise.

Los Angeles is the largest city in California and the second largest metropolitan area in the United States. In 1769, the Hispanics entered a natural harbor while searching for Monterey Harbor along a river, and named the river they crossed the "Queen of Angels River". This river was the Los Angeles River. Twelve years later, , 12 Hispanic families settled here; over the years, they named the place "The City of Angels."

This is how Los Angeles, the City of Angels, came to be.

To be honest, it is difficult to visit Los Angeles if you don’t have time, because there are many iconic and classic attractions here, from east to west, from south to north, the span is huge.

No matter which one is missed, it will make people feel that a visit to Los Angeles is incomplete.

Do not believe? I can name a dozen names off the top of my head. They are all famous places in Los Angeles with many fans.

Walk of Fame, Chinese Theater, Madame Tussauds, Griffith Observatory, Disney Concert Hall, Grammy Museum, Staples Center, Getty Museum, Venice Beach, Santa Monica Beach, Beverly Villa, Rodel Street, Universal Studios Hollywood, Sunset Boulevard...

Need more?

Jester wanted to go to many places, but he didn't have enough time, so he could only choose Sunset Boulevard, which he wanted to go to the most, and the rest could only be left next time.

Fortunately, he plans to return to Los Angeles in a while, so that he can visit again to make up for the regret.

When he returned to Los Angeles, it was not the start of the school year. This year, because of the Los Angeles Olympics, many of the school's dormitories would be used by delegations from many countries, and the school vacation was extended by nearly a month.

But his grandfather is planning to organize some Chinese gatherings on the West Coast. When the Olympics come, he hopes to come together to cheer for the Chinese delegation.

This is a good thing and obligatory. Moreover, it was at this Olympic Games that Xu Haifeng won China's first Olympic gold medal, and the March of the Volunteers was heard on top of Olympus for the first time.

Jester, who wanted to witness this historical moment, promised his grandfather without hesitation that he would attend when the time came.

Time seemed to be unable to take anything away from here. Jester, who had seen photos of Sunset Boulevard in later generations, suddenly had this sigh while standing on the street of Sunset Boulevard.

The Sunset Strip in Los Angeles in the 1980s was as prosperous as it would be thirty years later, with busy traffic, crowds of people, and bustle.

The entire Sunset Avenue is very long. This famous street passes through Ecker Park, Lake Sylvie, Los Angeles, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Holmby Hills, Bel-Air, Brentwood, and BMW Hills Gardens.

It stretches from Figueroa Street in downtown Los Angeles to Pacific Coast Highway in Brammar Hills Gardens. This street has long become a symbol of Hollywood celebrity culture, and Sunset Boulevard has long become synonymous with the bright stars of Hollywood.

After Jester was reborn into this world, he has been in the small city of Costa Mesa, where tranquility and serenity are the characteristics. He has not yet felt the prosperity of the international metropolis of this era, but in Los Angeles, he took a sightseeing bus touring the When he was on Sunset Avenue, he really felt it.

Although he looked at the cars on the street, billboards, people's clothes, words, store decorations, etc., he had a strange feeling, as if he had traveled through time and space, which was different from what he had thirty years later in his mind. In comparison, the scene is like an old photo in a movie, with a strong sense of historical accumulation.

It seems that the word history is no longer an illusory concept in front of him, but a real existence.

Just like that, sitting on the bus, it was like visiting the most prosperous and famous Sunset Boulevard on the West Coast in 1984, although it is impossible to appreciate the charm of this place during such a tour.

Jester looked at the scenery outside, but deep inside, he felt like waves, surging like waves.

For the first time, after his rebirth, he had an idea that he had never had before. Although he had made a copycat version of Tetris before, planned to make Nintendo's Super Mario in advance, and even wanted to create his own game empire...but it seems that what he did was just follow the footsteps of history. It's repeating history that has already happened, just like playing a game that simulates history.

But at this moment, right here, he clearly realized that this was a real, living world.

This is a completely different era. This is not history, but only the future.

He raised his head slightly and faced the sky. The slight wind blew across his face, making him feel a refreshing coolness even on a hot summer day.

Jester closed his eyes slightly and clenched his hands tightly into fists.

This is a new era that belongs to him, Jester Lee.
