Game Development Giant

"new game?"

Jester smiled strangely after hearing this question. After the interviewer was stunned, he continued: "Which new game are you talking about?"

At this time, the interviewer finally came to his senses. It seemed that they had not even figured out the first of Jester's two new games yet, so they were interested in the second one. The reason why they had not figured out the The reason may be because they knew that the first game would be an SRPG, but they knew nothing about the second one.

"hehe."

Seeing the interviewer's embarrassed look, Jester smiled easily. He had no intention of embarrassing the other person, so after laughing, Jester was beyond the interviewer's expectation. He started talking, and what he said was exactly what the interviewer wanted to know most.

"Your guess is pretty good. I do have the idea to develop games on Dreambox 2. You can guess a lot about the types of games. In fact, it's not difficult, because you should know it from the fact that I am anxious for Matsuno's team to come to the United States to gather. , but the game is not a sequel to Fire Emblem.”

After hearing what Jester said, although it had gone viral before, you can still clearly see the disappointed look on the interviewer's face. Obviously, he should be a genuine "Fire Emblem" "A fan of "Fire Emblem", and Jester has no idea of ​​​​making a sequel to "Fire Emblem", he is extremely disappointed.

Jester also saw the disappointment on the other person's face. He knew that if what he just said was reported, it would definitely cause an uproar among the player community. There must be many people who are as disappointed as this interviewer.

Therefore, Jester immediately said: "But what I can guarantee is that this will be a game that will not be worse than Fire Emblem in any aspect. In many aspects, I have made some improvements."

The interviewer was slightly relieved to hear Jester's assurance.

"Can you reveal the name of the game?" This interviewer's question is also what many fans and players want to know. Although the name of the game does not mean anything, to a certain extent, you can also guess something from the name. A little bit of content from this game.

Take "Fire Emblem" for example. When players look at this name, they will immediately know that this is definitely a game that likes the background.

But this time, Jester may disappoint them.

"Of course." Jester smiled. He waved his hand nonchalantly, seemingly not treating the interviewer's question as a secret that could not be made public: "Actually, the name of this game is very ordinary, so ordinary that you won't have any idea about this game when you see the name. association."

Hearing what Jester said, the interviewer had a curious look on his face.

"...The name of the game is "Dream Simulation War". As for the content of the story..." Jester smiled and immediately fell silent. Obviously, he had no intention of telling the content of the game. ,certainly. This is completely understandable. There is no designer in the world who would tell outsiders about the content of his game before it is released.

""Dream Simulation Battle"?" The interviewer first silently repeated the name of his first new game just mentioned by Jester. He wanted to hear something from the name. After all, even the names of those manufacturers that focus on DND game development will make their names as high-profile as possible in order to let players know what the content of the game is at a glance.

but. The name "Fantasy Simulated War" could not be associated with anything in the interviewer's ears.

and. The name of this game doesn't seem so American.

At this point, Jester lost interest in continuing the conversation. He looked down at the watch on his wrist, and then showed an apologetic look on his face: "Mr. Reporter, I'm really sorry. I have a party to attend tonight, so..."

The interviewer obviously knew that this was Jester's eviction order, and he also knew that he didn't have much time left, but he still had many questions that he hadn't asked, and the opportunity to interview Jester didn't come around for almost a year. There must be a chance. If he cannot dig out as much information as possible in this interview, then he will definitely be scolded by his own boss.

If there is such a good interview opportunity in the future, it will definitely not be my turn again.

Therefore, after the interviewer heard Jester's intention to end the interview, he immediately sped up his speech: "Mr. Li, can you ask a few more questions, very soon."

Jester nodded, then stood up and seemed to adjust his collar. Although he agreed to the interviewer's request, he still added: "You can ask two more questions."

"I heard someone from the "Civilization" development team say that what you will develop will be an unprecedented game? Is this unprecedented the same as what you said in an interview a year ago that "Quake" will be What does it mean to have an unprecedented game?”

The interviewer quickly agreed to Jester's request, and then asked his first question without stopping.

On this point, Jester did not deny it. He nodded and said in a very affirmative tone: "Yes, you are right. That's what I meant."

The interviewer was extremely excited to hear Jester's answer so simply and without any intention of being sloppy. Therefore, the second question, which was the last question he was allowed to ask in this interview, was immediately ignored. blurted out.

"Then I can't tell you anything. What type of game is it?"

When the interviewer realized that he had asked this question, a look of annoyance immediately appeared on his face. Although he really wanted to ask this question, he would definitely not be able to get Jester's accuracy with such a simple question. The most likely answer was that Jester would pull the same trick he did during the Quake interview.

Sure enough, after the interviewer asked this question, Jester had a bright smile on his face. Obviously, this question was very in line with his thoughts.

Jester did not answer directly, but first extended a hand to the interviewer. Obviously, this was to see off the guest.

After the interviewer was somewhat flattered and held Jester's hands together, Jester said: "Of course I can't say the specific type, because this is a game type that has never appeared on the market. , some necessary confidentiality methods are still needed, but..."

As he spoke, Jester's voice changed: "...But I think some interactions with players are also quite interesting, just like what I did a year ago, I said an acronym, Then let the players guess, and although I didn’t see who could guess the correct answer, the players’ participation was still very enthusiastic.”

"So, this time I plan to say the acronym of this game type just like last time, so that everyone can participate. But the difference from last time is that last time, participation was free of charge, even if the players guessed it We couldn’t win any prizes, so I decided to change it this time.”

Having said this, Jester deliberately pretended to think for a moment. He touched his chin with his retracted hand. After a while, he continued: "I think the prize should be set a little special, so, Anyone who can guess the specific game type from the acronyms I mentioned before October this year will receive tickets to this year’s Mars Entertainment Carnival and will also receive travel expenses, food and accommodation, etc. We at Mars Entertainment cover all the entertainment needs.”

"But we need participants to write to us. Only when we receive your letter can we judge whether you really guessed it right." After Jester said this with a smile, he continued to speak. The acronym for the new game.

"rts."

"rts?"

After the interviewer heard this abbreviation, he was obviously confused. It was impossible for him to guess from these simple three subtitles what words these three letters represented. It's impossible to guess what type of game these three letters represent.

However, we may be able to guess from the fact that Jester summoned Sid Meier's "Civilization" development team to develop this game. Since Jester has already said that the new game will be a new type that has never appeared before. Game, then naturally it cannot be the same type as "Civilization", but he also summoned the development team of "Civilization" by name, so the type of the new game must be related to "Civilization"...

The interviewer thought this, but these thoughts flashed through his mind for a split second. Before he could continue to think deeply, Jester's voice rang in his ears again and again: "Mr. Reporter, your interview time has come."

After the reporter left, Jester also returned to his office first. He pulled out a not too thin folder from one of his cabinets, and the title written on the cover of the folder was exactly ' Age of Empires' in a few words.

Then, Jester dialed a phone number, and a few seconds later, someone picked up the phone on the other end.

"You come to my office tomorrow to pick up my design framework for the game I mentioned before, "Age of Empires", so that your team can prepare to return to the headquarters for the time being. Wait for Matsuno in a few days. Everyone is here, because time is tight, so I plan to start the development of two games at the same time."
