"I see."

Figured out Rob. Pardo also nodded, choosing "Heroes of Might and Right" was his choice, and if he was asked to make a choice between Diablo 2 and "Heroes of Might and Right" again, then his choice would still be "Heroes of Might and Right", which was nothing to regret, because he really liked strategy games, and he felt that developing such a game would allow him to have a sense of accomplishment that was difficult for other games to generate.

This sense of accomplishment is what prompted him to make such a decision.

However, then again, he also has a lot of feelings for the Diablo project, after all, this is the first time he has been in charge of a project on his own.

"You know, we've had a lot of discussions about the Diablo series, and there's a lot of stuff involved, and in Diablo 1, we're really not enough, and as you who understand this project, you should also know this, Diablo 1 is just a scratch in the surface of the Diablo project." Jester was very serious and careful in his choice of words.

And Rob. Pardo was listening intently.

"So, the scale of Diablo 2 is going to be huge, and if you don't have too strong an idea of making Heroes of Invincible, then the second game will be between you and Mike. Mo Huaimi is in charge, after all, you have the most say in this type of game, but ......" When he said it, Jester also felt a little sorry, because he knew that even Rob. Pardo's "Heroes of Might" was successfully developed.

In terms of influence, it will definitely not be the opponent of Diablo's second work.

Diablo 2 is a game that has opened up a new pattern for future MMORPGs in Jester's mind.

"It's going to be a team of at least forty people." In the end, Jester said this sentence, or let Rob. Pardo was already eating, and as an old man who had been entertaining on Mars for several years, he naturally knew what the concept of the size of forty people was. The size of the team of forty to fifty people, this is Will. Wright, Sid. Mel and so on, the top producers in these companies.

Only those who have their own independent studios are eligible to be formed.

Because, the person is right, it represents the increase in the amount of investment, and this increase is not an ordinary increase, but a geometric progression.

A team of five and a team of ten people need to invest in the scale. Not just twice, but quadruple.

"Michael is in charge of a team of forty by himself!"

Even Rob. Pardo couldn't believe that Jester would give the other party such a heavy task, so he exclaimed, but obviously, Jester didn't arrange it this way, he just looked at Rob. Pardo glanced at him, and then said cautiously.

"Let's be honest. You still don't have enough prestige, and to control a development team of 40 people, it's not enough to rely on Michael's current prestige in the company, so there will be about a dozen new people on this team. Moreover, this team is also in charge of two people...... Bill. Rogge and Mike. Mo Huaimi is in charge together. Jester explained a little.

Bill. Rog this guy Rob. Pardo wasn't too familiar, but he had heard of it.

He is a somewhat well-known producer in the company, and he is responsible for the game although the sales are not very high. But it's very playable, so it's still a bit famous in the company.

Most importantly, he really enjoyed the Diablo project.

At the time of Diablo's internal testing. He is also the most attentive to testing, this kind of interest does not mean how much he likes to play, although he really likes to play, but he proposes a lot of things, given to him and Mike. Mo Huaimi is very inspiring.

"Bill Guò Mark approached me before and explained that he wanted to participate in the development of Diablo 2, and I had no objection, he is very capable, and he can indeed take on this responsibility." Jester explained with a smile that, in fact, the reason why he didn't look for Bill, who was already in the company, was when he was developing Diablo 1. Rogge's reason is simple.

That's what Bill was at the time. Rogge is involved in Mark. One of Saini's projects is Mark. Saini's most trusted deputy, Jester doesn't really want to snatch people from Mark's hands.

The second reason is simpler.

Although Bill. Rogge is the father of Dark, but his contribution is mainly in Diablo 2, Diablo 1 is essentially just a new way to play common sense, although there are many difficulties needed, but it is not much, so, Jester thought twice at the time, in line with the idea of cultivating newcomers, let Rob. Pardo and Mike. Mo Huaimi is in charge of Diablo 1, and so far, the effect is very good.

Yes, yes, for sure.

After all, whether it is the financial resources, material resources, or elite personnel invested by Mars Entertainment, they are far from being comparable to the Northern Blizzard back then.

Hearing Jester say that, Rob. Pardo also knows that he is unlikely to return to the development team of Diablo II, although it sounds a little lost, but this is his own choice, and he can't complain, although the team of forty people is very attractive, but compared to the seduction of "Heroes of Invincible" to him, it is still obviously incomparable.

The two continued to chat for a few more words, and then Jester answered a phone call, judging from his answer to the phone, it should be the matter of the 'Era' development team, and after saying a few words on the phone, Jester hung up.

Then he looked at Rob with some regret. Pardo said, "I wanted to go back to sleep after meeting you, but I haven't closed my eyes in more than a day...... But now there's some progress on the development team, so I need to go over again......" Speaking of which, Rob. Pardo also understood that this was Jester's eviction order, although it came a little suddenly.

Since Jester said so, Rob. Pardo naturally took the initiative to retire.

However, before leaving, Jester still said: "When the first week of Diablo 1 sales comes out and can meet my expectations, then I will give you a celebration party." ”

Jester said it easily.

But in Rob. Pardo didn't sound easy at all.

When the sales of a game reach a certain level, the general development team or game company will hold a celebration party, which is inherited from the film company and has been used for decades, for example, some Japanese game companies in later generations, their pursuit of game sales is not high, such as some second-tier RPGs, sales of more than 200,000, generally will hold a celebration.
