Game Development Giant

But then again.

Even if it is "Monopoly" which is not as good as Daewoo in terms of quality, Jester decided to give Fu Zan a chance.

Nothing else.

It's just willful. Fu Zan brought it out by himself. No one dared to say no if he was given a chance. But Daewoo, a small and crooked company, is not worth mentioning in the entire gaming industry. There was nothing before. It's a decent work, but the game submitted for review can't be said to be amazing.

Even many years ago, Mars Entertainment only made one similar game, and it produced three versions. Both in terms of game system and gameplay, it was better than Daewoo's similar localized version of "Daewoo". Rich Man is much better.

Of course, with the improvement of functions, the current game looks a little more exquisite than the game produced by Mars Entertainment at that time.

However, among the good and the bad, companies like Daewoo are mentioned.

Jester wrote in the review comments column of Xingyu Technology: "It is a game with very regional characteristics. I personally like to read novels of this type. Although this game does not have much significance in terms of pure games. It’s eye-catching, but I still think that having such a different style of game participate in the World Game Show will have a good promotion effect on manufacturers around the world.”

After Jester finished writing, he continued to read the following suggestions for review in a hurry.

Originally, this kind of review, even if it was a re-examination, did not require him to do it personally, but because it was the first e3, it was of great importance. Regarding himself, there is also the prestige and reputation of the company, and there must be no mistakes, so. To be cautious, he would personally review it.

This is not the era of later generations where producing a AAA-level masterpiece requires a team of hundreds of people, hundreds of millions of R\u0026D funds, and even larger distribution and sales channels. In this era, some small game companies. Maybe you can complete the sublimation from chicken to phoenix with a good idea.

In Jester's memory, there are such examples. In the video game world of the 1980s, it was almost always heard.

Jester looked at it very carefully, and from time to time selected games that he thought had some highlights based on the opinions of the preliminary review and put them aside, waiting for others to pick them all up. He tested it himself. As for those games that showed little promise based on preliminary reviews, Jester didn't even bother to look at them.

After all, although the e3 exhibition is the largest game exhibition in the world, this does not mean that all game companies can participate.

This is the most competitive gaming exhibition in the world.

Every time it is held, it will definitely attract the attention of everyone in the gaming industry. Just think about it from another perspective. It's like the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. No one can walk on it without a certain status. If you don’t have a good work, you have to have good connections.

If you don’t have good works or good connections, then you will be like the most diligent celebrity in China who will be on the red carpet in the future. You must have an international brand that is willing to support you, that is, a large publisher. ? None of these things, so how could e3 let you come to the show?

You know, according to Jester's memory, even at the 2015 e3 exhibition, there were only more than 20 or no more than 30 participating game companies. All of them were big names in the industry and had countless fans. There are countless outstanding works, such as some new companies. Unless their works are exceptionally outstanding, it will be difficult for them to participate in the e3 exhibition.

Now that Jester's e3 exhibition has just begun, naturally it cannot be as high as the standards set decades later.

But it must not be set too low.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to raise the standards in the future, so it is best to set all the rules now, and then continue to raise the standards every year and gradually reduce the number of participating companies. Jester estimates that it will be around 90 In the middle of the 1990s, that is, around 19596.

The scale of participating companies in the e3 exhibition should be able to be reduced to a level similar to that of later generations.

After all, if you want to create a high-quality game exhibition, it is impossible for you to participate in any crooked company like CJ.

afternoon.

When Jester was drinking coffee in the lounge, he met Mark Saini, who also came to pour coffee. During this time, Jester's main focus was still on developing games, such as dealing with e3 preparation projects. He was going to Not too much.

Today, for example, can be regarded as the period since he came back. For the first time, he devoted a lot of time to deal with the preparations for e3.

"How about it? Those games?"

Mark Saini is quite picky about coffee. Generally speaking, unless he has no choice, he usually does not choose brewed coffee. He always chooses to grind the coffee beans himself and then brew it himself. He rests at Mars Entertainment In the room, there are both kinds of coffee, both ready-to-drink and special grinders and coffee beans.

Jester himself is not a coffee lover, and his tongue is not very good at tasting coffee.

Anyway, in his mouth, the better the coffee, the more bitter and unpleasant it tasted.

However, this instant brewing type suits his taste very well.

Jester also asked Mark Saini about this matter. He is a person who is good at learning. He often likes to ask why in daily life. If the other person's answer is knowledge that he does not know, he will follow it. Write it down by hand so that you can increase your experience.

Although Mark Saini does not study coffee, he has indeed read some monographs in this area.

At that time, Mark Saini explained to Jester that these instant coffees, to be precise, were not coffee beans at all.

That may be a bit understated.

To be precise, this kind of instant coffee is made from the remaining coffee grounds after grinding coffee beans into coffee powder. Therefore, this kind of instant coffee tastes better. Thin, not liked by people.

Although, what Mark Saini said is not liked by others.

But Jester really likes this taste. It has a slightly astringent feeling, which makes it easy for him to concentrate on thinking.

Jester heard Mark Saini's question, and he also knew that he was asking about the expressions of the game companies that he saw this morning that applied to participate in the E3 exhibition and the games they submitted for review.

"how to say……"

Jester frowned, thought for a moment, and took a sip of hot coffee before continuing: "There are a few games that have some highlights, but I haven't tried their actual games yet, no. Sorry to comment, but I am just an auxiliary reviewer, and it is the review team that has the final say in making the review results."

"hehe."

Mark Saini smiled indifferently, shrugged his shoulders, and then said: "Your opinion will play a decisive role."

Jester smiled and said nothing.

Then Mark Saini added: "Jace, I still hope you can ask them to review it a little faster. The opening of e3 is already imminent, but our progress is frighteningly slow. Up to now, There is still a little more than a month left, and we have just agreed on the venue."

As he spoke, Mark Saini paused for a moment, then looked at the coffee that was being brewed, and then continued: "We have not yet obtained the entire list of participating companies. Our efficiency is really too high." It’s slow, and there are also arrangements for major companies’ press conferences to avoid collisions. Now I am so bothered by these things that I can’t sleep.”

As he spoke, he pointed to the coffee he was making.

"This is the seventh cup of coffee I drank today..." At this time, the coffee may have been brewed. Mark Saini turned off the fire, then opened the lid, and immediately there was a strong aroma, "No. Would you like a cup? Authentic Yerga coffee. I asked my friends to bring it from Africa. It is very good, very top-notch, and very rare coffee. It tastes great."

As he spoke, Mark Saini poured the brewed coffee into the coffee, and then said casually to Jester.

Jester's nose moved a little, and he also asked about the strong coffee aroma when Mark Saini poured the coffee just now. This coffee aroma was different from what he had smelled or drank before. The coffee brewed with this method is different, it has a very rich sweet aroma.

Licking his lips.

Jester couldn't help but glance at the cup of Nescafe brewing in front of him. He suddenly felt a little bored, and then nodded.

"Well."

Hearing Jester's answer, Mark Saini laughed in surprise. He poured a cup into another cup and said, "Aren't you not interested in this kind of coffee? What happened today?" Already? Don’t I miss you that much?”

Jester smiled indifferently.

"A temporary change of taste."

As soon as he finished saying this, he saw Mark Saini pushing the freshly brewed coffee in front of him. At the same time, Mark Saini also introduced a few words: "Yirgacheffe, the place of origin. It’s Ethiopian, my favorite coffee, it tastes amazing.”

Jester naturally wouldn't listen to the other party's complimentary words without any nutrition. In fact, he himself likes to say similar words to brag about something.

Jester didn't look at the cup of yirgacheffe that Mark Saini pushed in front of him.

"Mark, what do you think we can do to make our press conference at e3 visible to more players? I'm talking about letting them see the scene." (To be continued...)
