Chapter 661: An Idea
It's basically a mobilization meeting.
For a long time to come, the whole team will be fully engaged in the development of the game.
To Jester's surprise.
When he told everyone that the team would work overtime from time to time, no one objected, on the contrary, almost everyone had an excited look on their faces.
It seems that they are desperate to get the project done.
Jester understood what they were thinking, but he really didn't expect these people to be able to do what they thought they were thinking about.
It's a game that's destined to go down in history once it comes out, and who doesn't want to make a name for it, but maybe only Jester can imagine the difficulties this project will face, the years of development that even avid developers can feel lonely, and the development time of a year, these passionate people may have no problem.
But what about three years, or even four years?
Nobody knows.
Jester has already discussed the division of labor with the main groups, so there are no waves in the division of labor process of the whole team, and even Jester did not take the time to announce it, but directly sent a division of labor table to everyone, and then after the meeting, just go to your own group leader, and then the rest of the matter, mainly in terms of game discussion.
For this kind of open-world, highly liberal game, except for Jester, probably no one here has seen it.
But Jester sums it up well in one sentence.
That is, this time we are not developing a game, but simulating a world.
"Of course, we can't simulate the world, but we can do a small part, let's say a village. For example, a small town, these are all things that we can simulate, but what exactly do we want to do? In addition to the random weather, the alternation of day and night, different characters will make different actions at different times......"
At this point, Jester was serious.
"The most important thing is that I have talked many times in the previous development meeting about all-visual interactive entertainment, and I want you to do it. I want the main character, the player's character, to be able to interact with everything he sees. ”
Jester's tone became stern, "Do you know what I mean?" ”
After speaking, Jester looked around the venue and saw the hesitation on the faces of many people, but Jester did not give these people a chance to speak, he continued: "You should know how much I value this game...... As for the so-called all-visual entertainment interaction, I have explained it many times before, and I think you will not be unfamiliar with it. And you know what that means. ”
Of course, you know what it means to be fully visually entertained.
As the name suggests, to put it simply, as Jester said before, the protagonist is able to relate and interact with all the people or objects he sees.
For example. Everyone can have a conversation, and ask different questions or at different times. The answer varies, for example, a table. All drawers are openable, there may not be anything in them, but they must be interactive.
It's hard to do.
For example, in the original "Shenmue", what did Yu Suzuki do with all-visual interactive entertainment?
Let's take an example.
In "Shenmue", because the background is modern, there are some arcade rooms on the street, and players can enter the arcade room and interact with the people inside, such a simple interaction is certainly not worth talking about.
The most powerful thing about Suzuki Yu is that all the arcade machines in this arcade room are available to players, and any arcade game in it, players can play in the game, and these arcade games are also classics on the previous Sega arcade.
For future players, I don't think it's a big deal.
But for the time of Shenmue, it was almost a miracle, a miracle that shocked the entire industry.
However, for Jester, it may be difficult for their next-generation host function to do this, so Jester's background is placed in ancient times, as for the game, of course, some small game systems will be added, such as some collection systems, such as fishing or hunting such small games, especially some current technology, it is difficult to do it in the game at the same time.
It's perfectly possible to play this mini-game.
It not only reduces the difficulty of development, but also increases the playability of players.
Under Jester's repeated emphasis, the entire development team still guarantees to meet Jester's standards, of course, Jester is not unaware of the workaround, if it really can't be solved by trying all the ways in the future, there is naturally a backup plan.
"Finally, we're talking about a little system that I just came up with that helps to improve the gameplay......" Jester doesn't speak quickly or loudly.
But after hearing Jester's words, some people who were not very energetic before also instantly cheered up.
Jester didn't care, after all, he would be bored with such a long meeting, even he would be bored, he just looked around the scene, and then said a few words: "I call him the trophy system or the achievement system...... However, I'm still a little unsure about how this system should fit into the game. ”
Just listening to the name, it was difficult for anyone present to understand what this trophy system or achievement system was in Jester's mouth.
In Jester's memory, in the game, the first game company to add this kind of similar system was Microsoft, they added it to their gold membership, originally it was just a small idea, maybe it was just a whim of a Microsoft employee, and I didn't think this thing was so great, and the reason why I developed this may be that it was really interesting.
But this is the thing that influences the entire game development industry at a certain level.
Even in later generations, if you have a game, whether it is a stand-alone game or an online game, if you don't have an achievement or a trophy system, you will be criticized as a work of no sincerity.
"Achievements or trophy system? What is it? ”
While everyone was confused, Mark was sitting on Jester's side. Saini asked directly. (To be continued......)
