Game Development Giant

Chapter 165: Game inspiration derived from cooking

Now that we have this idea, the next step is the most critical question, who to choose?

Nowadays, chest sponsorship contracts for various teams are considered a new thing. Manchester United’s first chest advertising sponsorship contract also started with Sharp. For them, this is an extra income, and the price is just a blank space on the jersey. Just print a few more letters.

The same is true for other leagues. There are not many teams with chest advertisements these days.

As far as Jester knows, Milan, which will sweep Europe and establish a generation of hegemony in the future, does not have a sponsorship contract. Therefore, Jester wants to sponsor Milan. After all, since he wants to sponsor, he naturally has to choose the best one for him. Objects that deliver market returns.

However, Jester does not intend to give up this Manchester United contract. He believes that as long as he makes contact, there is still a high possibility that Manchester United and Sharp will collapse.

As far as he knows, as long as it is not a country, a company can sponsor different companies at the same time. For example, Qatar Airways did this in later generations, and the famous gambling tycoon Bin also did this.

Just at this time, Claudia came out of the bathroom after washing up. Her long golden hair was spread behind her head, and she was wearing a snow-white bath towel. Her slender white thighs were looming out of the bathrobe. She saw that Jester was still still in bed. Sitting in the kitchen, holding a copy of The Times in her hand and holding her chin in her other hand, she didn't know what she was thinking about, so she walked over quietly. Jester, who was so absorbed in his thoughts, didn't notice Claudia's footsteps, but he smelled a pleasant fragrance, which might be the smell of shower gel when Claudia took a bath, so when Claudia got close, he Jester felt it the first time.

He turned his head and glanced at Claudia. Before Jester could speak, Claudia spoke first.

"What are you thinking about? So absorbed in it? Are you still looking at this pot of what you call clear soup?" At this point, her face seemed to turn red. But because her face was still flushed just after taking a shower, Jester was not sure, and then she continued, "You can tell me what to pay attention to, and I will watch it for you. You go and take a shower first. "

Jester nodded after hearing this. He had indeed not taken a shower in a few days. He took a shower and went to sleep when he returned to the United States from Japan three days ago. Later, because there were too many things to do, not only was he busy with the project of "Fire Emblem", but he also flew to the UK immediately. He was so busy that he still had time to take a shower, so even if Claudia didn't tell him, he I also want to take a bath.

However, he just checked that the color of the clear soup was a bit wrong. It should be related to the temperature of the fire. Jester had just adjusted the temperature. Wait for a while to see if there is any problem before he goes back. So Jester nodded and said, "Don't worry yet. Let's wait until the color of the soup becomes normal. It will take another ten minutes."

As he was talking, Jester thought that Claudia was the head of the European branch, and he happened to be discussing with him the company's sponsorship of chest advertisements for some teams, so. Jester then said: "What do you think we should also talk about this chest advertisement?"

While speaking, Jester also handed the copy of The Times in his hand to Claudia, and pointed with one finger at the page where Sharp and Manchester United could not agree on the contract renewal due to the price of the chest advertisement. News that the issue is on hold. Said: "How about we also talk about a similar advertisement? After all, football has a great influence in the UK."

In the UK, there are very few people who don’t like football. This is a community spirit that has been passed down from the fathers’ generation. Basically, every community in the UK has its own team, and Claudia is certainly no exception. Although she My idol is Mrs. Thatcher, but that doesn’t mean she has to be as pathologically biased against football as Thatcher. .

Tilting her head, Claudia thought for a while. Then he said in a very sure tone: "I think it's good. This is a way, but... let me think about it..." Claudia thought for a while. Then he said with regret, "Now that the outstanding teams in League One have sponsorship contracts, it wouldn't be interesting if we found a small club."

"Haha." Jester smiled. Naturally, he couldn't tell Claudia that he was interested in the rise of Manchester United in the future. He could only say something that Claudia knew before and could still contact. " In fact, I am a Manchester United fan, so I have the idea of ​​winning a chest sponsorship contract with Manchester United..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Jester finished speaking, Claudia smiled, with a look of understanding on her face, and then said in a tone of "I understand everything": "I know what you mean, actually you just want to Many people have the idea of ​​doing something for their favorite team. If you really want to negotiate a sponsorship contract, if you want to expand your influence in the UK, then the first choice is the Newcastle Magpies. This is The team that all the British love, if they want to expand their influence in Europe, it is Liverpool..."

But when it came to Liverpool, Claudia herself showed a hint of self-deprecation, and she immediately stopped talking. Then, she mocked herself again: "I even forgot that you are a Manchester United fan."

"Let's talk about these issues later," Jester felt that this was also his impromptu idea. Although he already had two chosen targets, it was not the time to talk about it now, so he smiled and said to Claudius Ya asked, "You know I am a Manchester United fan, so can you tell me which team you are a fan of?"

Unexpectedly, Claudia hesitated for a moment after hearing this question, then she raised the corners of her mouth slightly and winked at Jester playfully.

"Leeds United."

"The War of the Roses..."

After hearing this answer, Jester also smiled awkwardly. Jester, who has some knowledge of British football, naturally knows that Manchester United's three mortal enemies in the UK, except for those who were later ranked among the best in FM by a famous game company In addition to using 101 to describe the hatred between Manchester United and Liverpool in the evaluation system, the previous hatred and historical entanglement between Leeds United and Manchester United is even higher than that of their local rival Manchester City.

The two of them chatted like this for a while. Jester took another look at the clear soup simmering in the pot and felt that it was almost normal, so he told Claudia what he needed to pay attention to when cooking it. I went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Under the gentle water sprayed from the metal shower head, Jester's mind suddenly recalled the scene when he and Claudia were cooking. Involuntarily, he had an idea, could he use a game to control this process? How about simulating it?

This is different from the tycoon and large-scale tycoon simulation games he played before his rebirth, but similar to a small simulation game he played before called "Manga Oku no Homichi". The main thing is to let people The player plays the role of a young man who wants to become the greatest cartoonist, and constantly accumulates knowledge, increases experience, completes comics, and finally becomes the God of Comics. This is a story or game.

The company that produced this game is a well-known Japanese mobile game developer in later generations. The characteristic of their games is that they are playable. The game Jester played before his time travel and rebirth was called "Game Development Giant", which was called "Game Development Giant". A work that pays homage to the game's "Game Development Road to China".

Of course, as a smartphone game developer, it is impossible for Cairo Games to focus its main efforts on PC. In fact, several of Kailuo Games’ famous PC games were created by their founders before they established Cairo Games. Personally produced, and in these games, the designer's extremely outstanding gaming talent is also reflected.

For example, Cairo Games' most famous game, "Game Development Road to Country", was released in 1996. At that time, it was a PC game. Later, the success of this game gave the young man named Usui Kazuyuki confidence. In the next few years, he will continue to produce several small games with a similar style to "Game Development on the Road", but with different gameplay and development directions.

Two of the most famous ones are "Manga Oku no Homichi" and "Bookstore Story".

Thinking of such a game and such a company, Jester thought of his own experience of learning cooking from his grandfather when he was a child, as well as the many stories of some top chefs he had seen. Jester suddenly felt that with a It's quite a good starting point for ordinary people who want to become a chef to make such a simulation game.

Because just now, Jester thought of what Kazuyuki Usui said to his few employees when he founded Cairo Games, and later this sentence became the business creed of Cairo Games. Although Jester Now, as the owner of a very large game company, I don’t agree with this statement, but if I just look at what Kazuyuki Usui said as a player who loves games and a designer who wants to make the game he wants to make the most, If this sentence is true, then this is the truth.

As for what Usui Kazuyuki said back then.

It's a very simple, but very simple, and very direct sentence. It can be said that the things marked by this sentence are the things that players like the most.

"We don't have to make a game that millions of people support, but we have to make a game that can firmly capture the hearts of 10,000 people. Then, we hope to pass on the fun of this game to the next generation... "

Jester was annoyed by Hayao Nakayama before because he participated in the development of Sega's "Hang-on" in order to take pictures of his own R\u0026D staff, and agreed to make a product for their next console that would sell well. A million-breaking game.

But Jester thought about it over and over, and he really didn't think of what to make one.

But just now, he suddenly had the inspiration to create a story for Sega based on Cairo Games' production concept of simulation games, similar to "Manga Oku no Hosomichi", about the growth from an ordinary person to a god of cookery. Isn’t the road game a good choice?

And Jester also feels that such a game is not difficult to make, and it is easy to make a fun and long-lasting game. Coupled with his current reputation among players, it should not be a big deal to sell a million copies. question.

After thinking about it, Jester finished taking a bath during this thought process. )
