Game Development Giant

Richard Garrett pondered without answering.

Under the reporter's questioning, he reluctantly said: "I didn't say that the games I made are definitely the best. Besides, I have only made RPG games, and I am only good at this range. , like Jester, it would be unfair to expand the scope to the entire game type.”

The meaning of his answer is very obvious. It's not that I don't dare to make this bet, but that your bet is unfair.

Of course, what Richard Garrett said does make sense.

Soon, the answer to Richard's question was fed back to Jester. After reading it, Jester couldn't help but laugh. He personally did not expect that Richard Garrett would even follow. He didn't even have the courage to make the bet. Instead, he found a condition for himself that he thought had an advantage.

"In this way, when you publish an article in the next issue, publish my reply together with his question. Since he believes that the scope of comparison is limited to RPGs, then just limit it to RPGs. Just look at The selection of the best RPG game of the year, regardless of other factors, other conditions remain unchanged, so what doubts does he have."

As he spoke, Jester seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Also, regarding what will happen if you lose the bet, this is just a harmless joke in the industry, so the loser only needs to treat it as a joke. For example, my proposal is, if someone loses , just kiss the donkey’s butt at the GDC selection meeting.”

Jester said it in a very firm tone. Although the reporter from "Game" wanted to remind him that if they really published it like this, it would probably bring some trouble to Jester, but Jester didn't do it at all. Not caring, he just waved his hand. The "game" reporter then retreated.

really.

After the latest issue of "game" magazine is released.

Richard Garrett's face instantly turned the color of pig liver. He was in the office, trembling all over as he looked at the "Game" in front of him. Then he sneered in anger and handed the brand-new magazine directly to him. Torn in half.

"That's unreasonable!"

He smashed a cup to the ground and smashed it into pieces. He kept roaring. He really couldn't believe that Jester could openly say such things and publish them on "Game". What kind of kiss? Donkey's ass. This is all a gimmick.

There was only one thing Jester wanted to say.

Even if I compare you in the field that you, Richard Garrett, are best at, I have never taken you seriously.

While thinking about it, Richard Garrett became even more angry. Seeing that his cup had been smashed into pieces, he directly picked up the glass ashtray on the table and threw it to the ground again. Became fragments.

Richard Garrett contacted a magazine media on the first day that "Game" magazine was released.

Then he posted his own disdainful reply to Jester.

"Since Mr. Jester Lee really wants to kiss a donkey's butt in front of game developers all over the world, then I don't mind helping Mr. Jester Lee to fulfill his dream wish."

When this article is published.

Everyone knows that this time, Jester Lee and Richard Garrett are almost in a fight to the death.

Moreover, I lost the bet this time. It is very likely that he will completely withdraw from the video game industry. After all, who will be allowed to attend the grandest conference of all developers in the entire video game industry, in front of everyone. Five kisses on a donkey's butt would be a huge loss of face.

Big enough, basically. Whoever loses will not have the dignity to continue in this industry.

Moreover, Jester takes even greater risks.

Because Jester’s reputation and reputation are much greater than that of Richard Garrett, if I have to say it, what the two parties put on the stakes is actually very unfair, because if Jester loses Now, he has to give up much more than Richard Garrett.

Most notably, Hormone and Jester now hold the position of president of the World Electronics Association.

Let me ask, if at the Global Game Developers Conference organized by the World Electronics Association, a chairman kisses the butt of a donkey, can he still be the chairman?

Of course, no matter who it is, they are all qualified to receive the GDC Lifetime Achievement Award.

This is what the World Electronics Association intends to create, the highest honor award in the gaming industry. It is impossible for such a person to win this award.

Jester and Richard Garrett are both qualified to receive this award.

"very good."

After Jester clearly knew Richard Garrett's answer, he smiled with satisfaction. In fact, Richard Garrett's greatest contribution to the entire video game industry has not yet been completed, although "Genesis" 》 is one of the three major American RPGs and almost established the way American RPGs are made.

But the reason why Richard Garrett was later able to receive the GDC Lifetime Achievement Award was, in addition to his "Genesis", his groundbreaking "Genesis Online", also known as uo. The beginning of \u003c.

Now Jester has taken the lead in proposing the Battle.net mode.

He was also worried about the common sense that someone would carry out this kind of early online game. Richard Garrett was definitely the most likely person. This was something Jester didn’t want to see, so he He would think of making this ridiculous bet with Richard Garrett.

He just wants Richard Garrett to completely push out the field of game development.

As for Jester, of course he never considered that he would lose.

With Planescape: Requiem for protection, what American RPG can fight against it? Thirty years later, it will be extremely difficult to find several American RPGs that can be compared with "Planescape: Torment". Perhaps only "Baldur's Gate" can be compared, such as "Neverwinter Nights" 》or others, may only be able to eat dust in the back of this game.

But in this era, the understanding of American RPGs and the production of American RPGs are far less profound and detailed than those of the world's best American RPG developers at the end of this century, let alone scripts. "Torment from a Strange Land" has reached a philosophical level.

In terms of style, at least the current Richard Garrett is still immersed in the old-fashioned style and cannot extricate himself. There is no way "Genesis" can be compared with "Palace: Requiem" no matter what.

Soon, Jester heard new news.

Weizhen has established a brand new RPG game development team. They are all elites in this field drawn from the studios under the company. The person in charge is Richard Garrett. Although this newly established development team has not yet been announced to the outside world. Announce what type of games they will be responsible for producing.

But from the members and Richard Garrett, we know that this is definitely an RPG game.

As for whether it is a sequel to the "Genesis" series, it's hard to say.

But soon, Richard Garrett announced the news about this newly established development team. Now because of the stalemate between him and "Game" magazine, under normal circumstances, Richard Garrett Te would not go to someone from "Game" for an interview.

The game developed by this newly formed development team is indeed a brand-new American RPG, just as outsiders speculated.

Moreover, Richard Garrett also specifically stated that this will be a brand new RPG series, not a sequel to "Genesis". He will devote all his energy to the rest of this year. to this series, and it is guaranteed that it will be on the market before the end of the year.

This is also something that can't be helped.

Anyone with a little bit of intelligence will know that this newly formed development team and the game that will be developed must be Richard Garrett's trump card for his bet with Jester.

The selection rules for the best game of the year are games that must be on the market within a calendar year.

Therefore, if you want to participate in the selection of GDC's best game, you must ensure that the game can be officially launched this year.

Many players and industry practitioners still attach great importance to this news. In any case, the games produced by Richard Garrett in the past are still shining brightly. Moreover, in the field of American RPGs, the current Richard Garrett is indeed a flag.

As for Jester, that’s not to say that everyone is optimistic about it.

But many people think that he is too arrogant this time, but fans of Jester really like this kind of domineering idol. I don’t care whether you are the flag of American RPG or the godfather or something like that. Since you have a problem with my game, let's let the awards do the talking.

The selection rules of GDC are composed of secret ballots conducted by reporters from the most famous gaming publications and hundreds of the most famous designers in the industry.

It is inevitable that there will be related votes.

However, relatively speaking, this is the most fair selection that can be completed.

Jester also knew the news about Richard Garrett's newly established development team. To be honest, he was somewhat interested in this game. You know, the size of this group is still huge. It's much better than "Genesis 4". (To be continued...)
