Generally, Mars Entertainment Carnival is held on the first or second weekend of November.

It's also the busiest time of the year for Mars Entertainment.

In the past, if E3 and Carnival were still equal to Mars Entertainment, now it has basically become that the importance of Carnival to Mars Entertainment is far greater than that of Daewoo E3, and players are willing to change Mars Entertainment in this way.

This carnival-style large gathering of players is very supportive of players.

Of course, it's not that they haven't learned Mars Entertainment like this, but neither Sega nor Sony has been as successful as Mars Entertainment.

Of course, this kind of event, which helps to increase the loyalty of players, they are also holding it.

In fact, it costs a lot of money to hold such a party.

Although some of the investment can be recovered through ticket broadcast revenue advertising sponsorship, it is still a large event that requires at least a few million dollars, and even with the gradual increase in the prize money of esports competitions in recent years, in fact, the investment in carnivals is also gradually increasing.

Thankfully, now esports is finally starting to become an industry.

In Jester's vision, it could take up to three years for Carnival to be able to make a profit from this kind of revenue from sponsoring broadcast rights.

For Li Kewen, this is the first time he has participated in the carnival, although he has heard a lot before, but it is really the first time to personally participate in this grand event between countless players, when he was in China, he never imagined that the game still has such a huge charm to attract so many players. Players from all over the world come together.

Originally, his surgery was scheduled for the end of October, but in order to have the opportunity to add this carnival, he asked Jester to postpone his operation by half a month.

In fact, in the first few months of school, he gradually adapted to the teaching and learning methods of American universities.

It's very different from the domestic one.

He felt that in such a university it was called real learning. Moreover, the pressure is also very high, his language is originally a weakness, although he came to the United States a few months in advance, and interned in Mars Entertainment, but this weakness is still not so easy to make up, of course, it is much stronger than when he first came to the United States. At least he can communicate with them normally now.

I won't be unable to understand the lectures taught in class because of language problems.

He also thanked Jester a little bit for allowing him to come to the United States early for this adaptation, otherwise he might have to take a language preparatory course.

This time Jester did not appear at the opening ceremony, and even the main character at this carnival, that is, the promotion of "Super Balotelli Galaxy", was supervised by Shigeru Miyamoto.

There is a trial game.

It's not much, and it's a closed trial. It's not an open-ended demo, and everyone has to wait in line for at least two hours. Then you can get a 30-minute trial opportunity, the trial location is in a closed small black room, Li Kewen, as an intern employee of the team, of course, also has a task.

In fact, during the carnival, there will never be enough people for Mars entertainment.

His task was to send out a survey to every player who participated in the beta. Then after the other party has finished filling it out, take it back.

In this way, the player can get a voucher.

With this voucher, players can redeem a prize at Mars Entertainment's prize redemption office.

Of course, the prize may not be too valuable. That is, a sweatshirt or a hat or even a hand-made doll, the commemorative meaning is greater, but players are still very enthusiastic about it.

Somatosensory sports were not put into the trial project in this carnival, because the somatosensory equipment was not ready, which was also asked by players, and Mars Entertainment's answer was also very direct, because of the planned problem, at the time of the carnival, the order for the somatosensory equipment they wanted was not completed.

That's why they said before that there would be a demo of "Sports" during the E3 exhibition.

Although the players are not satisfied, they are still very satisfied with the closed play of "Super Balotelli Galaxy" provided by Mars Entertainment this time.

However, it is forbidden to bring some camera and video equipment when entering the trial room.

"It's amazing!"

"Unbelievable!"

Basically, this is the reaction of the players who came out of the Super Balotelli Galaxy playroom, and their faces were full of reluctance, and whenever the players in line asked them how they felt about the trial, they would always yell uncontrollably, as if they had seen something really amazing in the trial room just now.

As a matter of fact.

For them, the feeling of receiving the sensation for the first time just now is really a very remarkable feeling.

"It's hard to say, before that, although I already had the best idea of somatosensory, but after actually playing the trial of this game, I still can't believe my eyes, I even think that I am dreaming now, how can this be a game that can be made now?"

When Li Kewen handed a questionnaire to a player who had just come out of the trial room, the player was still talking about his feelings.

Jester has actually been thinking about what will happen after his retirement in the past few years, in fact, now he feels that there is a bit of a match, more than ten years of high-intensity work, it is indeed very easy to make people feel tired.

Moreover, in this world, especially in the field of games, he has done everything he can do, all the games that he can do, basically formed in his hands, and almost all players have come out in his hands.

He is revered as the god of games, and it is even certain that in the next few decades, at least in the game industry, no one will make a greater contribution than him, even the original historical Miyamoto Shigeru, compared to the current he is still very, far away.

It will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains will be seen at a glance.

This is how Jester feels at this time, he is actually in a state where he does not know what to do in the future, because there is no road in front of him.

The path he knew had come to an end for him.

Yes. Jester isn't a genius in terms of talent by nature, and the reason why he has been able to achieve this is all because of his knowledge of the games of the future, and he has played countless games. But that's all, let him create from nothing, in fact, he is not as good as those real geniuses, real ghosts.

He was standing on the shoulders of those giants so that he could sit down and talk to the original giants.

By the time the giants were finished, Jester had actually been able to discuss it himself — and that was good, and Jester felt that his greatest contribution was to bring the video game industry to prosperity ahead of time.

Ten years ahead of schedule, almost all game genres were enriched.

Now the game in front of him, in fact, there is only one WOW left. MMORPG is the benchmark of the game genre and the banner of this game genre.

Although in the era of Jester's crossing, the MMORPG game genre has declined, it is no longer popular, and people seem to have lost their love for this game genre - even WOW players are declining, many people say that WOW is not fun, AFK, in fact. It's all an excuse - the real reason is that this style of game is no longer adapted to the increasingly fast-paced era.

An MMORPG is an RPG by any means.

The core of RPG games is to develop ~ characters.

And it takes a lot of time and energy to develop ~ characters - this is completely inconsistent with the rhythm of the future.

Even if it's to give you level 60 WOW. Can you still play this great game the same way you did when you played level 60? I don't think so.

But will the MMORPG genre slowly decline and eventually die out completely?

Jester feels that this concern is purely unnecessary, and first of all, to consider this issue, the first premise to know is why the MMORPG genre has emerged. And to know why the MMORPG genre is here.

In fact, the RPG game genre is an extension of human fantasy, and as long as human beings can still fantasize, then the MMORPG game genre will not perish.

There will always be a day of resurrection.

Of course, for now, MMORPGs are a new emerging. The game is on the rise.

This is also evidenced by the popularity of EQ during this period.

And Jester's news about his next game is also gradually letting go, at least now there are media interviews mentioning that they have learned that Jester's game after "Super Balotelli Galaxy" will be an MMORPG game, which Mars Entertainment has not denied.

Although Mars Entertainment did not announce the progress of Jester's next game at this year's carnival, it was in a brief interview with Jester.

Jester himself also talked a little bit about the MMORPG game.

But he was talking about EQ as a game.

Because Jester was by Jester's side at the time was an EQ producer.

However, the producer resigned from SOE at the end of October, and it caused quite a stir among EQ's player base, because this producer is one of the core members of EQ, and with his departure, almost a dozen people have also left - you must know that EQ's entire development team is only 60 people.

After that, people speculated about what he was thinking.

Now there is no need to guess, maybe his whereabouts have been determined, that is, Mars Entertainment.

"I love EQ as a game, and I've talked to Ledgers a lot about it, and we had a great time, and I even talked about my next game, and Ledgers was excited, so he decided to join us."

Jester replied to this.

The reporter who interviewed him keenly captured some of the information leaked by Jester: "Mr. Li, is your next game also an MMORPG?" ”

"So to speak."

Jester nodded and admitted: "But I can't talk too much about it now, actually, EQ has inspired me a lot, and it has given me a lot of inspiration, although I did think about the content of my next game a long time ago, before EQ was released, and at that time I decided that it would be a different MMORPG, but after I experienced EQ, I was still shocked by the designers of EQ." ”

"Because they've done almost everything I envisioned before, and I just want to make a world like this."

"Even in our company, there are people who have played EQ and are saying, "This game is so good, can we make a game like this?"

"And then I told him that, actually, we already had a plan."

"I almost started looking at my original plan, redesigning it from the very beginning, and I started looking at all aspects of EQ, from the architecture to the system...... Pretty much everything, and then I realized that we could do better, so I reassembled the team that started the project and told them that EQ was great, but I thought we could do better. ”

"At this time, we needed someone with a lot of experience in MMORPG game development, especially EQ development, so we reached out to Ledgers to talk to him about my idea, and he felt that our plan made his blood boil."

"We made an agreement."

In very brief language, Jester talked about why Ledgers left SOE to join Mars Entertainment.

"So can you tell me what is the background of your next MMORPG game?"

"Of course you can."

"As I said before, for this MMORPG, I actually started building the background of this game very early on, and now I can say that the background is the world of WAR, and I have been adding to the background of this game since WAR1 many years ago, through novels, through comics, and even through animation, and many people don't understand why I did it."

"Now that the mystery can be revealed, it's very simple, I just want to create the atmosphere of a world through these things, and then present the world in front of the player."

"My next game is to accomplish something like this, to fulfill my long-cherished wish that I had to accomplish many years ago, to make a complete, infinitely real World of Warcraft." (To be continued.) )
