Game Development Giant

Hearing these words from Jester.

Mike Mowaimi and Rob Pardo instantly showed extremely disappointed looks on their faces.

Although they had expected that Jester would not approve their application before they came, after all, Jester wanted to see them in person, and maybe things would turn around. After all, if they were to be rejected directly, why bother? Let them come.

It's simply unnecessary.

So, they came with great expectations.

However, they did not expect that the answer they got from Jester's mouth was not very different from the previous notice they received. Although the words and reasons were different, the ending was not very different.

Their application for the development of this game, also called "StarCraft" by Jester, was not approved.

Just when they were pessimistic and disappointed.

Rob Pardo suddenly felt that something was wrong. Just like what they had thought before, if Jester would not agree directly, then they would not be called over at all, because with Jester's status, there is no need. They have to inform themselves about this kind of thing again, because it is really too redundant. Moreover, they themselves have not given a name to the development plan of this game, but Jester has specially given a name to this game. In other words, Jester takes this game very seriously, and he will definitely have a turning point in the future.

Sure enough, after Jester finished what he said before, he paused briefly and continued.

"However, I think your idea is really promising. When you were designing this game, your biggest shortcoming was that you considered too much of the things in "Warcraft". From their UI, From their structure to their ideas, you have thought too much. If others look at it and change the content about the interstellar universe in your plan to the content about Warcraft, I am afraid they will think that this game is "Warcraft" His new work.”

Jester smiled and explained.

After hearing this, Robert Pardo and Pediatrician Mo Huaimi also looked at each other.

They also know that they have referenced too many things from "Warcraft" in the game, but because some of the settings of "Warcraft" are too classic, they are not yet able to get rid of the influence this game has on them. Influence.

Jester also knew this.

Therefore, he continued: "It is great if you can learn from "Warcraft", but I have told you before. We producers must like to play games and have experience in games. The ability to have fun and find the advantages of this game, you can find the advantages of a game, which is good and I am very pleased, but you have not done enough."

I heard that Jester took the time to teach himself his experience.

The two of them naturally listened very seriously.

"You need to transform other people's advantages into your own understanding, and then integrate them into the game. Only in this way can other people's things become your own. Otherwise, when others see your game, they will definitely Scoff. Isn't this just xxx wearing a skin? What's the point? Actually. There are many rts games nowadays. Although there are many players who like this type, they are also concerned about some follow-up works that do not have their own characteristics. There won’t be any interest.”

What Jester said was actually some lessons learned by Blizzard itself.

When they published "StarCraft", it was ridiculed by players as "Warcraft" wearing an interstellar skin because it was too similar to "Warcraft", and then it was redone.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. You will definitely wonder, why did I find you two?" Jester temporarily stopped the previous topic, and then talked about the real reason why he asked the two of them. He smiled and asked the two of them, and saw the confused looks on their faces.

"Isn't the boss because of our game application?"

The two of them always thought that it was because of their game application that Jester wanted to see them. Otherwise, how could little people like them get into Jester's eyes? It must be Jester who didn't know where to look. When I received their game application, I thought it was interesting, so I wanted to meet them and ask them what they thought. If Jester could be tempted, maybe Jester would agree to their game development application.

But now they think about it.

It seems that until now, when they met with Jester, although they were talking about their game application, the process of the discussion was completely different from what they expected. Their expectation was that Jester would ask them what they thought, and then They come to answer.

In the previous discussion, Jester bluntly stated the biggest shortcoming of their development plan.

Seeing their doubts, Jester didn't take it seriously. Originally, this matter suddenly occurred to him, so he smiled and said: "Actually, I took a look at the performance of some young designers in recent years. I also know about the performance of Mars Entertainment that many people are unhappy with Itagaki Tomonobu's fame and feel that if he can do it, we can do it too, so I want to find people who have performed well in the company before and give them a chance."

When Jester talked about this, Mike Mowaimi and Rob Pardo naturally lit up their eyes.

Isn't that what they do when they apply for a game?

Could it be that Jester wants to reuse himself the same way he reused Itagaki Tomonobu?

Sure enough, Jester immediately expressed his decision: "I found that you two have performed well in the past few years, and many senior designers have spoken highly of you, so I plan to give you a opportunity to develop a game. If the game you develop satisfies me, then I will work with you to improve the development plan of "StarCraft" and make it your next game. What do you think? ?”

After hearing Jester's words, the two of them instantly became stunned.

They didn't have much hope, but they found that the most delicious pie hit them directly on the head.

"This this……"

In fact, they were all so excited that they were speechless by Jester's words.

For them, this is simply the biggest lottery.

Jester saw the excited expressions on their faces, but he didn't pay much attention to it. For a person of his status, it is so common that a person's fate can be changed with just one sentence. It is not necessary in the first place. care.

So he continued.

"This game, which I named Diablo, is about..." (To be continued...)
