Game Development Giant

Jester stayed in New York for four days before rushing back to California. Although this trip was a little tiring, it at least shortened the distance between them and Samsung. Although he was Samsung's second shareholder before, he still had a strong relationship with Samsung. In other words, Samsung seems to be just a symbolic slap in the face to him, and there is no way to effectively connect the two. From the perspective of outsiders, he seems to have nothing to do with Samsung at all.

This is not what Jester wants. According to his current status and status, keeping a low profile no longer belongs to him.

Just after Jester returned to Costa Mesa, after reading the report about the carnival, he looked at the information about the games of other companies recently released by his publishing company. His popular publishing company, not only When publishing your own games, you are not just publishing games on Dreambox. Many P games are also released. Of course, according to theory, even F or NES games can be released by Fengxing Publishing without any worries, but The thing is, Jester doesn't care, Nintendo does.

Therefore, as of now, no F game manufacturer has come to them to publish games.

"This company……"

Just when Jester was reading this report, a game with very poor sales appeared in his rehearsal. The company that produced this game was not very famous. Even to Jester, he had never heard of it. But he was extremely familiar with this game. The company was a French company called ryo-ive. The name was meaningless, and Jester didn't even bother to look at it. "dune"!

This game is for any RTS lover or a fan of Westwood. These should not be forgotten. This is the beginning of rts and the beginning of Ximu's glory. Of course, this game has nothing to do with Ximou right now.

As far as Jester knows. This game is adapted from a very famous movie called "Dune". Now the game adaptation rights of this movie are in the hands of Virgin Entertainment, and this French dryo-ive is Virgin Entertainment. An entertainment OEM company. Many game companies will outsource the resources they have when they cannot finish the work themselves. As for the level of the outsourcing company. I will definitely do some research before, but sometimes the research is not so satisfactory.

For example, this time.

In fact, this game production company in France discovered something was wrong before it was finished. They found that this time the French company made it into a game with solid thoughts and a degree of restoration of the plot. Loyal to the point of being jealous of being rigid and unwilling to adapt, and this is a turn-based adventure game with no fun at all. Just when Weizhen was considering whether to terminate this contract, the French company obviously also knew that something big was going on. good. He immediately traveled lightly, cut corners, and spent all the development funds. Finished this game ahead of schedule. Just throw it into the trash can. Weizhen is still very reluctant to part with it. After all, a lot of development funds have been invested, but it seems that it will definitely not sell well in the release, but at this time Fengxing Entertainment wants to Let Wei Zhen transplant several of their classic PC games to Dreambox. Wei Zhen is also coveting Dreambox, a market that is far larger than PC.

But after all, this is a new challenge for them. Although it doesn’t cost much to transplant the game, if it fails. For passionate designers like Weizhen, the blow is still very big. It will make them think, are we really not suitable for developing games on the home console platform? This is also something Wei Zhen does not want to see.

Therefore, Weizhen made a request to Fengxing Publishing to help them publish this turn-based war chess adventure game called "Dune".

Although the people at Fengxing Publishing also saw that this game had no future, in order to win over Wei Zhen, a powerful game development company, they agreed after careful consideration, and Jester was looking at this game. The report was previously expected. Although the loss was incurred, it was not a large amount.

At this time, Jester naturally recalled some memories of this game.

He is not a fan of Westwood, but he is full of respect for the game studio Westwood, not only because they have created a truly great game type, but also because of their talent. Many people seem to mention Westwood when it comes to I think they only have Dune II, Command and Conquer, and Red Alert. In fact, they have made a series of masterpieces between Dune II and Command and Conquer.

But maybe because of the low sales volume, many people who are not fans of Westwood are not very familiar with their game series. In fact, even in the future, if players in 2015 don't care about resolution, this This game is definitely worth playing. It can be said without mercy that this is a masterpiece. The name of this game is "Legend of Keladea".

Jester felt that he had gone too far, so he immediately put his thoughts back.

There are really too many memories of Ximutou, and all kinds of information and materials are filling his mind. He doesn't know how to sort out a clue for a while, but he can be sure that this studio is now It is still very small, almost not worth mentioning. Although the three founders have great ambitions, God does not follow their wishes. At least so far, they have not had a successful game after being established for more than three years. .

Jester called and inquired, and soon got the company's detailed information. The founder Jester was very familiar with it, so Jester just glanced at it and didn't pay much attention to it, which was almost the same as what he knew. After seeing the ownership, fortunately, the current small game studio has not attracted anyone's attention, at least not from Vision Entertainment.

In Jester's memory, Ximumu produced "Eye of the Eye", a magical adventure game for DND, in the past two years. After becoming famous, he was noticed by Wei Zhen Entertainment. Now they are just members of countless small studios who don't know whether they can have a tomorrow. Who cares about them.

They joined Wei Zhen back then. They obtained the game copyright of "Dune Magic Castle" and then produced the world's first real RTS game, allowing p to truly enter an era of gaming that belongs exclusively to p. , from beginning to end, real-time strategy is exclusive to P players. This is a great achievement that is very worthy of pride, and even worthy of being praised by fans of Ximu for a hundred years.

Even Blizzard, which later dominated the RTS world, and its fans had to admit that without Ximu's "Dune 2", there would not have been the first game in the Warcraft series that made Blizzard take off, "Warcraft: Orcs and Humans" , it can be said that the beginning of Blizzard's legendary road is closely related to Ximu.

Of course, nothing is certain. For example, Jester, a unique figure in the world of video games, is interested in this little-known studio.

After calling an assistant, Jester gave the order directly.

"Go and contact this company called West Wood in Las Vegas and see if they are willing to sell it... Well, yes, buy it in full."...

After saying that, Jester hung up the phone, then exhaled and stood up from his seat.

Jester has many, many memories about Westwood, which is why he decided to acquire them without saying a word after seeing the name, because he clearly knows the talent of this studio, and now they have already touched it. After playing for three or four years, I have gained experience, skills, not to mention talent. Success will come naturally.

If Jester's predictions are correct, Ximumu should already be preparing for the game "Eye of Evil".

In fact, there are many, many memories about West Wood and their real-time strategy Jester. For example, the classic soundtrack "Regional March", with its uniform goose-stepping sound, makes Jester's blood boil every time he hears it.

Another example is "Blue Alert", which was later introduced by unscrupulous domestic manufacturers. Jester remembers it the most. It was actually the work of a small studio in Czechoslovakia called ypro-studios. It had no technology or ability, and this game The name of the game is "-of-ar", but because "Red Alert", which must be from Westwood, is too popular in China, Wuliang manufacturers have the vision to translate this game into "Blue Alert" .

That's it, the most ridiculous thing is yet to come. Later, this Czechoslovakian company launched an expansion pack, and then an unscrupulous domestic manufacturer translated the expansion pack into "Blue Alert II". This is not over yet. The most important thing is that this game company released a real SO2 again in 2007, and then domestic manufacturers introduced it again...

It was translated into "Blue Alert 3".

The most important thing is that domestic translators are still very similar. When a website later translated "Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood", they translated it as "Assassin's Creed 3: Brotherhood"...

If a player makes such a mistake, it is understandable. After all, he does not understand the industry, but as a professional game website, he can still make such a low-level mistake. That can really be modified with one word.

The greatest absurdity in the world!
