Game Development Giant

"This seems to be completely usable as a brand new model?"

Carmack heard Jester speak in such detail, and he was the one who started the topic, so while being amazed and surprised, he still asked the questions in his heart.

"Well, that's true."

Jester does not deny that this is the inspiration he got from future games, and there are still many players who like this type of mode, but he is curious about whether this mode can be used in the current Unreal II engine. What about the presentation inside?

"let me see."

Hearing Jester's question, Carmack also woke up from the excitement of discussing the game. After he frowned and thought carefully for a while, he said with some uncertainty: "These are more important in modeling. It's not difficult, and there aren't big problems with the algorithm. It's just advanced AI. I don't know if it can be done now. I've just started researching in this area, so I can't guarantee...but it's possible to try, and I have some confidence. .”

Japan.

"Fuji TV is going to broadcast a new animation today, have you heard about it?" Ichiro Kawasaki said excitedly to his friend Yamada Kazuo who also went to the game a few days ago when school was just over at Hanayoshi Elementary School. When I was buying a new game cartridge in the store, I saw a promotional video in the game store. It seemed to be some kind of cartoon about adventures with small pets, and it would be similar to a new game that Mars Entertainment will release on Christmas. Great relationship.

Unexpectedly, his best friend just curled his lips in disdain and said with disdain: "What's so good about those American cartoons? The best American cartoon is just "Transformers". It’s far worse than Fist of the North Star!”

Unexpectedly, Ichiro Kawasaki heard his friend talk about the cartoons he recommended. He was a little unhappy for a moment. He immediately pouted and said in a low voice: "Huh! I specifically asked the boss of the game store this time. The cartoon to be broadcast tonight is called "Pokemon". Although it is produced by Mars Entertainment, the production company is our Japanese company...what is it called, what is it called Kyoto, Kyoto Animation!"

"Hey!"

After Yamada Ichito, a friend of Kawasaki Ichiro, heard this, he first smiled disdainfully, and then said in a sinister tone: "What is Kyoto Animation? Is it famous? I look at the name and it looks like a garbage company. It won't survive this year." I guess that Mars Entertainment must have just randomly found an animation company and asked them to produce it, without having an in-depth understanding of Japanese cartoons before."

Said. He saw Ichiro Kawasaki's face flushed because of his disdainful words, but that's just the way he is, with a bad mouth, and he likes to hurt this and that. Although he felt that the words he just said made his friends uncomfortable, He just wanted to say a few words of apology, but he couldn't control his mouth and blurted out one sentence.

"Mars Entertainment just makes good games. If they want to make cartoons, do they know what cartoons are?"

In the end, the two friends broke up unhappy on the way home together. Ichiro Kawasaki went home angrily. He liked Mars Entertainment's games very much. He also regarded Jester Lee as his idol. His biggest dream when he grew up was to work at Mars Entertainment. He became a game designer and designed the most perfect game in his mind, so he was interested in everything related to Mars Entertainment.

Not to mention he also likes watching cartoons very much.

He didn't know what kind of game "Pokemon" was. He didn't know what the cartoon that would be broadcast on Fuji TV tonight was about, but he knew that it was produced by Mars Entertainment, and that was enough. Maybe Ichiro Kawasaki is what later generations call a crazy fan, but this kind of crazy fan is not uncommon in this world.

On the road, Kawasaki Ichiro saw Noe Riko, whom he had always had a crush on, walking side by side with one of her friends along the same road. He followed the other person quietly, wanting to secretly listen to what the other person was saying. .

However, in order not to be discovered by the other party, Kawasaki Ichiro could only stay at a distance, but in order to hear what the other party was saying, he did not want to be too far away, so he could only follow him not far or close. Behind him, he pricked up his ears and listened intently to what they were talking about. However, what surprised Ichiro Kawasaki was that the goddess in his heart was actually talking to her besties about the TV show that will be broadcast tonight called " Pokemon cartoon.

"I heard that this is a game animation based on the Pokémon electronic pet machine, and the cute Gosanjia will also appear!"

"Really? Really? Impossible? Really!"

Words like this came to Kawasaki Ichiro's ears intermittently, which made him scratch his head a little. He really didn't expect that his goddess seemed to be more capable of this cartoon called "Pokemon" than he was! This was really beyond his expectation. In his impression, he didn't remember that his goddess liked to play games... Wait, as if he thought of something, Kawasaki Ichiro suddenly stopped.

He remembered what words he seemed to have heard during the previous eavesdropping. It seemed to be an electronic pet machine?

Is it the electronic pet machine from Mars Entertainment?

Ichiro Kawasaki has no interest in this thing, but those little girls like to play, and they communicate about this and that every day. In his eyes, what fun is there? It’s boring to the extreme, so he might as well take the time to play by himself. The last few times Gameboy saw it, the recently transplanted "Avengers" was absolutely terrible. It was almost the same as the one he played in the arcade without sleep and food, except that the picture was not in color, which was hard to accept for a while. But everything else is perfect.

You almost can’t stop playing it, and because this is not an arcade, but a handheld machine, you can continue playing it indefinitely. Of course, you need to choose the simplest mode in the apocalypse. If you want to be the same as the arcade, go to It's okay to play games where you only have two lives at a time and you have to start over from the beginning if you die. Kawasaki Ichiro's skills are not very good, so he has been using the infinite resurrection game, but it has been almost a week since he bought this game cartridge. , haven’t passed all levels yet.

Several of his friends have asked him how many times he has borrowed it. He originally promised to lend it to the other party after clearing the customs in three to five days, but due to his poor skills, he has not yet cleared the customs, so he has not lent it out.

Therefore, in his eyes, of course he finds the electronic pet machine boring.

If his goddess didn't like this thing very much and often played with it, he might not even bother to ask. Although this is also a thing from Mars Entertainment, in Kawasaki Ichiro's eyes, this must be a trick created by Jester. It's for little girls. It is said that when Mars Entertainment released this electronic pet machine, Jester was still in college. Maybe he made this thing to please girls.

Kawasaki Ichiro's ability to imagine is still unconstrained, but at that time, Jester was a standard otaku in both his previous life and this life. How could he think about how to pick up women, let alone come up with such a powerful idea? Of course, if Kawasaki Ichiro thinks so, there is nothing anyone can do.

Thinking of this electronic pet machine, he remembered the memory of this aspect. It seemed that Jester had mentioned this at the previous carnival, saying that he had done this a long time ago, before the electronic pet machine project was just started. , he just wanted to make this game.

However, Kawasaki Ichiro suddenly thought that according to the price of Mars Entertainment, he was just an elementary school student and basically had no chance to stay up late and queue up to buy this kind of game at the on-site sale. If he went to those small stores in Akihabara, their The selling price is definitely much higher than the official price. According to his experience, the last time the gameboy version of "Balotelli's Adventures in Another World" was released, the price of second-hand cassettes in Akihabara was higher than the original price. It was twice as high. Of course, the price would fall soon, but the second-hand price, which was 50% higher than the original price, still lasted for a long time.

If I remember correctly, it should be at least a week.

Judging from the promotion efforts of Mars Entertainment this time, the second-hand price will definitely be sold out this time. But fortunately, I don’t really like the game called “clanned” that is almost praised by various game magazines. This is the only one. There is a game that even though it was produced by Jester, he doesn't like it very much because he thinks the game is boring.

He played it at the house of one of his sisters, who highly recommended it to him and said it was the best game Jester had ever made.

But it was boring for him to play.

As for what is the best game, Kawasaki Ichiro never takes it seriously. If this game is really that good and Jester really values ​​it so much, it is impossible that Mars Entertainment basically doesn't care about it. What kind of promotion activities are you doing? Moreover, this game only managed to burn 200,000 copies and then I stopped burning it.

It's not because the game didn't sell well enough, but because Jester asked for it. In fact, because Jester's reputation is so appealing, the game was sold out on the first day of release. If I want to buy it later, I can only go to those small stores in Akihabara and buy pirated copies.

Moreover, the price of pirated copies is very unfriendly to the people. The piece his sister bought, she had to bargain with the store owner for a long time before getting it at five times the original price.

Five times the price, this is considered a very low price even in "alanned".

This also made Ichiro Kawasaki laugh secretly, is it worth spending so much money for a game that is not interesting at all? (To be continued...)
