Game Development Giant

Of course, this matter cannot be rushed and requires long-term planning.

For Jester, money is no longer important to him. Everything he is doing now is for the development of the entire gaming industry, and setting up a foundation to support independent games will be the best. choose.

He will give a lot of money to many people who are full of dreams and are interested in game development, but do not have enough start-up capital. This capital may not be a lot, but it is enough to solve many troubles that need to be solved in the game development process. Specifically Jester has not thought about the amount. This will need to be discussed and studied specifically after the foundation is established.

What he is thinking about now is, should he do it himself or do it in the name of the company?

Or contact other game companies and do it in the name of the World Electronic Games Association? Jester really doesn't think much of the income that this kind of independent game foundation can bring him. He has no shortage of money at all. For him, through this matter, he can gain some good reputation. , for him, it is the best.

After thinking about it, Jester remembered some charitable foundations, which are basically things done by wealthy people who are extremely poor and bored. No matter what their starting point is, whether it is tax avoidance or invitations, they are always doing something with their money. Charity helps those in need.

Jester suddenly thought of this, could his foundation do the same?

Of course, supporting independent games is not an act of charity.

But Jester can do this, and get profits by supporting independent games, which can be used for charity. As for charity, this is too simple. What the charity foundations in later generations like to do most is to choose a certain disease. Then subsidizing patients suffering from this disease, or subsidizing the medical treatment of this disease, is a better way.

For example, Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Jester saw a piece of news about this disease in his last life. Most of the patients with this hereditary disease are men. A boy who carries the disease gene will develop the disease before he is 4 years old, causing his muscles to lose strength and atrophy, ultimately affecting his normal life - to this day. Even in the future, there is no cure for this disease.

There are many rich people. Their original intention of setting up this kind of foundation may be because they or their relatives suffer from this incurable disease. Investing in the treatment of this disease is, on the one hand, so that one's relatives can be cured as soon as possible, and secondly, so that future patients with this disease will no longer suffer from the disease.

For example, the famous NBA superstar Magic Johnson, who suffered from AIDS, has been funding AIDS treatment for decades, not for anything else, but for himself to survive for a long time.

Many people say that AIDS is not terrible, and is even less problematic than hepatitis, and that people can live decades longer. The examples usually use Magic Johnson as an example. It is said that Johnson has suffered from AIDS for more than 20 years and is still alive and kicking. However, these people have a complete lack of understanding of this disease because they have no idea how many people in the world have AIDS. Individuals can act like magicians and provide comprehensive support for HIV since the 1990s.

And He Dayi, a Taishan and Beidou-level leader in the HIV industry, coupled with the world's strongest HIV research institute to develop new drugs, could provide him with the latest drugs at any time.

This allowed him to live vigorously from his illness in the 1990s until twenty or thirty years later.

To know. He Dayi is no ordinary figure. He is the first person in the world to discover a case of AIDS, the first person to discover the pathogenesis of AIDS, and the person who has the most say in the treatment of AIDS. He invented the famous cocktail therapy, and he is also the director of the Allen Diamond AIDS Prevention and Research Center at Rockefeller University, an academician of the American Academy of Sciences, and a foreign academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

Overall, his contribution to the prevention of AIDS. He is qualified to win the Nobel Prize.

Compared with AIDS, Jester is more interested in funding the disease Duchenne muscular dystrophy. In later generations, this kind of Duchenne muscular dystrophy had a very famous charity organization, but now there is no such disease. Being famous, at least relatively speaking, is far less famous than AIDS and cancer, and those rich people prefer to fund the treatment of AIDS and cancer.

Because they themselves are the most likely to suffer from these two diseases.

As for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, this is a genetic disease. For them, the chance of getting this disease is too small, and there is no need to invest in research and development.

However, Duchenne muscular dystrophy will still be funded by a dedicated charity in the future, and the amount of funding is very large, because the founder of this charity is a big shot, Prince Albert II of Monaco.

As for the reason, it is similar to what was mentioned above, because his youngest son was born with this incurable disease.

However, according to what Jester knows about the time, Albert II's charity foundation's support for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and the famous orphan watch charity auction should not have been established yet. Jester can definitely do it himself. When I woke up, these things were very complicated. Jester thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out clearly. However, he felt that this was a career that he could go all out in the future when he stopped playing games.

Although a bit pretentious.

But Jester also somewhat understands why so many rich people in the future will do charity after they become famous and retire from the world.

But this is a matter for the future. The most important thing I need to do now is to develop the final planned game. There may be something I suddenly want to develop, but I can't say for sure.

Of course, the top priority is to successfully launch Dreambox 3.

After Mars Entertainment announced Dreambox 3 and "The Hero" at the Cologne Exhibition, there were discussions everywhere in the gaming industry. Although things have not been calm at all in the past few months, Sony took the lead in responding to the launch of Dreambox 3. , that is, anyone who has purchased a PS1 before can use the new machine as a discount to purchase a PS2 at a lower price.

Then Sega immediately followed up, and they immediately carried out similar sales methods for their Sega Saturn.

This sales method. Mars Entertainment can't say it's wrong, because before the establishment of the World Electronic Games Association, the price of its Dreambox 2 was much higher than that of Sega's MD, and it also used this method to reduce prices in disguise to compete with Sega.

Now. Sony and Sega are just treating others with their own medicine.

Of course, new games from Sony and Sega are also launched one after another. Their two heavyweight works are also released on the first weekend of December.

It is specifically for those games of Dreambox3 and Jester.

seem. The two companies suddenly understood that their biggest opponent was actually Mars Entertainment, not themselves. The internal fighting between the two companies for more than half a year suddenly ceased, and they were all quietly waiting for Mars Entertainment to officially It's like they are showing their fangs - of course, as the first games of Dreambox 3 have been released one after another in the past few months, the pressure on these two companies has become even more inexplicable.

In addition to the first appearance of "The Hero" at the Cologne Exhibition, Mars Entertainment began to move around in the second half of the year. Promote the new games they will launch on Dreambox 3 in December and January.

Of course, it was originally in Jester's vision.

Among the launch game lineup, there will be his own "Knights", Yuji Naka's latest "Sonic" game, Kojima's "Metal Gear", and Miyamoto Shigeru's "Zelda" ...However, after all, people have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. This matter is difficult to solve in ancient times. It is impossible for everything to be as perfect as planned, even though the games of Kojima, Shigeru Miyamoto and others cannot be released on time.

But the strength of the lineup in the starting game. Still amazing.

First of all, Jester naturally has high hopes. With Balotelli's signature, he can easily sell 10 million units of the game "Made by Balotelli".

Jester isn’t worried at all about the game.

Because this gameplay is bound to succeed - most importantly. This is something that Dreambox 3 was not announced at the Cologne show. Compared with Sony and Sega machines, the biggest difference is that Dreambox 3, like a computer host, supports the Internet.

In other words, players can share the joy of "Made by Balotelli" with others on the Internet.

This is also the best part of this game.

Jester believes that this will be Sony's biggest weapon and capital to help them attack the Japanese market, and now have great success in the Japanese market, and have the potential to become the Nintendo of the day.

Because the Japanese really like Balotelli so much.

He still vividly remembers the grand launch of the first, second and third generations of "Super Balotelli" in Japan.

It can be said that even his own games cannot be as successful as the "Super Balotelli" series in Japan - of course, even in the entire world, "Super Balotelli" is still the most successful Currently, his three main games, two racing games, and a total of five games have exceeded 100 million copies. This is a number and record that is hard to believe.

This is equivalent to an average of 20 million copies of one game sold!

In fact, the first generation of "Super Balotelli" has the highest sales volume, reaching a terrifying 42 million units, and its sales are still growing.

This is more terrifying data and results than the "Super Mario" in Jester's original world.

Moreover, so far, except for "Super Horse", there is no other game that can sell more than 20 million units. Jester's game, the best-selling one is "Fire Emblem" The first generation, a great work that pioneered ARPG games, can be said to have single-handedly created two games, SRPG and ARPG, and the first equipment grading system in it gave birth to Diablo a year later. series.

But the total sales of such a game so far is only 17 million units.

Moreover, the game's sales stamina is almost exhausted.

It is almost impossible to reach 20 million units.

In fact, even in the original world, after "Super Marathon" and "Tetris", the next game with a single game reaching 20 million levels would have to wait until fifteen years after the release of "Super Marathon" , that is, "GTA3" in two thousand years.

Of course, the "Duck Shooting" that comes with the game does not count.

It's not the same as "WII Sports" that comes as a bonus with the WII. Otherwise, calculating the sales volume this way would be too shameless. Calculating it this way, the 80 million sales of "WII Sports" must be unprecedented.

In fact, even the sales calculation of "Tetris" is not rigorous.

In Jester's original world, "Tetris" sold 30 million units on GB. The problem is, this game came with GB.

It is exactly the same as WII's "WII Sports".

In fact, games with a level of 20 million will begin to appear in large numbers, and that will probably have to wait until the PS3 is launched.

Overall, Jester is satisfied with the launch game his company has prepared on Dreambox 3. Although it is not as perfect as he had envisioned, with Kazunori Yamauchi's "Romantic Roadster", it has a newly established Football Studio's football game "FIFA 1996" has a high-definition reset of the first six generations prepared by Sakaguchi Hironobu - not because they don't want to release FF7, but because the setting of FF7 is too huge and it is impossible to complete it within this year. .

There is also its own "Hero", the company's reset "Quake Ultimate Edition" that can be played online, Yuji Naka's "Sonic 3", Itagaki Tomonobu's "Tekken Console Edition", plus Garp The empty "Resident Evil" still needs to be focused on third-party manufacturers under Mars Entertainment, and the games that will be launched in the next few months will be followed closely. Jester believes that if Sony or Sega do not If effective countermeasures can be taken.

It should be a matter of course that he was unable to take care of himself due to his own set of punches.

As the release day gets closer and closer, Jester is looking forward to it more and more. (~^~)
