Game Development Giant

Faced with such attacks.

Jester acted very calmly. He was not the kind of person who liked to quarrel with others. As for fighting back, he felt that doing it once would be enough.

And this kind of talk goes on endlessly.

Unless he can come up with a ready-made game to fight back the next day, but of course this is impossible.

As long as you don't take care of it, it will naturally stop after a while.

Moreover, wanting to produce "Foreign Requiem" is not something that happens overnight. No matter how good this game is, it is just bragging. Jester looked at what he had arranged Timetable, if he wants to include this game.

He will start two jobs at the same time in the second half of the year.

One is a brand-new RTS, which is also the first cornerstone of the world of Azeroth. "Warcraft: Humans and Orcs", which I have promised several times before, will also be launched at the same time as this game. There is a novel and comic introducing the history of Azeroth.

These things are already being prepared on the Sons of Mars side and should be launched simultaneously when the game is launched at the end of the year. \u003c, to be honest, this can be regarded as a sudden whim of Jester. In addition, he has never made a similar game, coupled with Richard Garrett's naked provocation, Jester simply agreed.

Moreover, American RPGs are in a period of decline at this time, so it is still necessary to point out the direction for future American RPGs.

In fact, later European and American RPG game developers included the reason for the revival. It points out a way for European and American manufacturers who are still confused.

It is not difficult for Jester to be the producer of two games at the same time.

In fact, in his previous experience of making games, he rarely served as the producer of only one game. Except for works like "Runestone Guardian" that he made on a whim when his interest arose. Almost every time a game is developed, there are at least two games in progress at the same time.

Therefore, in addition to the nickname tyrant within the company, Jester himself also has the title of madman.

It’s not that his character is arrogant. Instead of being arrogant, he said that he is a workaholic and extremely energetic. Once he starts working, he can work overtime for months and months until late at night.

The production of "Runestone Guardian" is also proceeding step by step. Now it is in the final period of revision and improvement, and the two people involved are not just Mike Mowaimi and Rob Pardo. people, but increased to nearly ten people.

In the end, there were many people involved in the debugging process of the game, although there was a lot of test feedback. However, this kind of work intensity cannot be completed by two people in a short time.

Jester also decided to release the game before his wedding, so he sent additional manpower in the end.

While Jester was intensively completing the plot outlines and initial settings of "Foreign Requiem" and "Warcraft: Humans and Orcs", a call he had been looking forward to for a long time finally came to him. .

"I heard that you have encountered some trouble recently?"

Jester just answered the phone. I heard a teasing voice, and from the tone of the other person's tone, I could tell that the other person was in a good mood.

The call came from Ellison, the founder of Oracle.

The moment he received the call, Jester knew it. When he was in Asia, the other party should have made a decision about the matter he discussed with Ellison. In fact, Jester is already impatient to wait. If he doesn't receive a call from Ellison before the end of this month, then he plans to send a message to Morgan Stanley and ask Morgan to clean up the door.

Jester ignored the teasing in Ellison's tone.

He asked straightforwardly: "Call me at this time. It must be Mr. Ellison. He has already made a decision?"

After hearing Jester's words, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

When the voice rang again, Ellison's tone no longer had the same teasing tone as before, but instead became a little deeper: "Mr. Jester Li, don't you think that on the phone, Isn’t it inappropriate to talk about these things?”

"hehe."

Jester chuckled lightly after hearing this. He did not refute the other party. He was indeed a little rash just now, so after the effect, Jester continued to ask: "So when will Mr. Ellison have time? How about we have a cup of coffee together?"

Ellison is not only a famous playboy, but also a famous sailing athlete. He also likes to collect yachts.

"Three days later, I am currently participating in a sailing activity in the Caribbean. I will return to Los Angeles in about three days. At that time, we will talk in detail and express our opinions to you." Ellison said of us When speaking the words, the tone was emphasized.

Jester also nodded.

"good."

Then, the two parties stopped talking and hung up the phone in unison.

After putting down the phone, Jester became thoughtful.

He knows what Ellison means by the word "we", because he is not the only founder of Oracle, but there are four people. It is only because Ellison has the largest shareholding and the strongest ability that he will serve as the founder. The position of leader of Oracle.

As for preparing to design a trap, the matter of Yin Damo is definitely not something Ellison can decide alone.

After all, causing the entire Oracle stock price to plummet by 80% involves the relevant interests of every founder who holds a large number of Oracle shares. Compared with these four people who can make such an extreme plan, An agreement had long been reached.

And Jester also knew this earlier.

But the reason why he only contacted Ellison was that he was most familiar with Ellison, and he was the one who took the lead in this matter.

Most importantly, Ellison takes charge.

For the time being, I will suppress these thoughts and continue to complete my plans on paper for the games to be developed in the second half of the year, because the two games have a relatively long relationship, and whether it is "Warcraft" or

Planescape: Torment is a text-heavy game.

Relatively speaking, "Warcraft" is an RTS game, and the amount of text may be smaller.

However, after all, this world is a world that has just begun to be structured. Many settings need to be introduced in great detail. Jester does not want to be like Blizzard, who did not expect this when he first made this game series. This work that they just copied "Dune 2" and followed the trend will actually have such a big impact in the future.

This process is an asymptotic process.

Whether for the sake of gameplay or other things, Blizzard keeps eating books.

The players were extremely criticized.

Of course, at the beginning, Blizzard was a little embarrassed about eating books and it was extremely subtle. But later, after they discovered that players didn't care much about how many books they ate, they started to eat them unscrupulously.

Jester didn't want this, he wanted it in the beginning.

The background and structure of the entire world are designed to be seamless. It may be a bit arrogant and exaggerated to say so, but at least that's what he thinks.

Of course, Jester also knows that doing this may not be helpful in the future. In the future, eating books will be unavoidable when it is time to eat books. But if he works harder now, he can reduce the probability and frequency of eating books in the future. .

During this period, nothing major happened, except that from time to time some media supporting Richard Garrett would come out to ridicule Jester for overestimating his abilities.

It was the expansion of Sega's next-generation console R\u0026D team at the end of the quarter that made Sony a little alarmed. Previously, Sony was developing the next-generation game console too early, coupled with Jester's misdirection, so the development process took a long time. Somewhat slow.

Now that the world is investing more and more personnel in research and development, it seems that they also smell an inexplicable smell of blood.

Although everyone knows that in this era that has only started two years ago, no new console will be released in at least two to three years. However, after all, as an extremely large and new character, Kenko Kutaragi Don't want to just stop here.

In his eyes, the next era will be an opportunity for Sony to do well.

However, there are now some scattered news about Sega's development of the next generation of game consoles coming out from time to time, but the aspect of Mars Entertainment that he attaches most importance to seems to have completely fallen silent, and there is not a trace about it. News from Times Host.

However, Kutaragi Ken absolutely didn't believe it.

With Jester's shrewdness and his insight into the game market, can he foresee the bloody turmoil that will break out in the next generation of console market?

Kutaragi Ken would never believe this.

Just from the fact that Jester established the World Electronic Games Association, it can be seen that although Jester is not very old, his scheming and unpredictable methods are already proficient, but it is his Mars Entertainment. .

There is no news about next-generation consoles. (To be continued...)
