Chapter 304: Reversing the Referee

It didn't take much time for Hatta to agree to all the conditions of Mars Entertainment, in fact, he was not qualified to talk about the conditions.

Jester asked the Japanese branch to find a professional to take care of the rest, and the basic idea was that the plot of the story would be completed by Mars Entertainment, and then Kamimi Film would complete the vertical painting and composition, and then combine Hatta Hideaki's KyoAni to complete an animation.

Jester didn't plan to have many episodes of this anime, the preliminary estimate was thirty to forty episodes, and the plot was about the same as the one he remembered in his head.

It can be completed by the end of the year, and then in the first month of next year, it will coincide with the release of "Pokemon" for a large-scale promotional event, but let the cartoon take the lead, and the game will follow closely behind, and in Jester's mind, it will be basically unfavorable.

In fact, the game that can be made on the palm of the hand, excellent, is far from just one "Pokemon", it is only because the game "Pokemon" is too transcendent in the history of the GAMEBOY or in the entire history of the handheld, Jester will choose.

If it's about high sales and easy to make, Jester does have other better options here.

For example, the famous "Reversal of the Referee".

Thinking of this game, Jester couldn't help but think of a person from his previous development team who liked to read detective novels, named Michael. Stanif, when I'm fine, I like to think of a joke or two about reasoning to test everyone, which can be regarded as a kind of entertainment in the boring development time.

Later, Jester knew and participated in it, and under the inspiration, he thought of two reasoning problems and added them to the game, but I didn't expect the effect to be good, according to the reader letter above "GAME", many players are very interested in these reasoning puzzles in the game, so Jester has an idea of wanting to make zuò "Reversal Referee".

In fact, doing "Reversal Referee" does not mean that it is to be plagiarized according to this game, Jester can't remember this game so clearly after playing this game for some years, mainly because of the design idea of this game and the framework of the game, and this way of breaking down a big puzzle into several small puzzles, it is indeed extremely suitable for the consumption of fragmented time.

So, after thinking about it for a few days, Jester made the decision to set up a development team to develop Reverse Judges.

Of course, it is naturally impossible for this development team to let him be responsible for himself, his current task is too heavy, and it is impossible to undertake the next third development task.

He also chose the candidate, the same Staniff who worked with him to develop the game before, but when he was working on Fire Emblem, he was just an ordinary planner, and now he is a director of a planning department.

When Michael. When Staniv received Jester's call, he had just received a new assignment from the company to complete a game plan, but when Jester asked him if he would like to be in charge of the development of a game, he immediately replied yes.

This is also inevitable, what game developer doesn't want to make a game as a producer? This is the same reason that almost every filmmaker wants to be a director. For Stanif, it was a great honor to be asked this question by his own boss.

And he is also strange that he is just a small person in the entire Mars Entertainment, and now Mars Entertainment, counting more than a dozen independent development groups of all sizes, there are a total of thousands of R&D teams, he doesn't think that he has anything special to be remembered by his own boss.

If you say that the only intersection with the boss is that a few years ago, as a member of the ordinary planner, I developed "Fire Emblem" and "Heavy Loader" with the boss, and then with the experience of developing these two games, I was considered to be the descendant of the boss, and then I was promoted all the way to the head of planning.

After that, I was doing my own job conscientiously, and there was no intersection with the BOSS again.

But why is it that in this case, the boss can still choose himself?

With a slight apprehension, Michael. Staniff came to Jester's office, he knocked on the office door, there was a crisp sound in the room, he pushed the door in, and saw his boss, who was a few years younger than himself, sitting behind his desk and frowning at something.

Michael. Staniv closed the door softly and walked in softly, Jester did not look up, and Staniv just stood respectfully in front of the table and did not take the initiative to speak.

After waiting for two minutes, Jester finished reading a copy of the essay in his hand before looking up at Michael. Staniv glanced at it, a kind smile appeared on his face, and said, "I was just looking at the planning of some games you did before, and your progress in the past few years has been quite obvious. ”

Jester is concise, but Michael. Staniff's face, after hearing Jester's compliments, immediately showed a look of surprise, because he joined Mars Entertainment just after graduating from college, just because he regarded Jester as his idol at that time.

He has also been motivating himself to keep moving forward with Jester's achievements, this time hearing the praise of his idol, it is impossible for him not to be excited, and, more importantly, as a member of Mars Entertainment, he knows that his boss usually does not praise a person casually, but everyone in the company who has been praised by his boss is now a well-known person in the game field.

Seeing the excitement on the young man in front of him, Jester smiled and skipped the topic away, changing the subject: "Are you still writing your mystery stories recently?" As he spoke, Jester raised the thick stack of texts in his hand and continued, "Judging from these things, you like to add a little bit to the game whenever you have the opportunity during this time." ”

I'm a little embarrassed to be told by my boss, Michael. Staniff also touched his head and smiled, and whispered: "I think adding some reasoning puzzles to it is not a rare puzzle, and it is very malleable for the playability of the game." ”

Jester was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed.

This sentence was when he asked the other party to include some reasoning puzzles in "Fire Emblem". What Staniff said, I didn't expect that two years later, he would be used to say it in reverse, but he didn't say this when he came to the other party today.

So with just a few simple pleasantries, Jester entered the body.

"Do you have the confidence to lead a game development team?"

Americans are not as modest as domestic people, and domestic people sometimes have the strength and ability to arrive, but they like to be modest, but they are so modest that they almost miss it, and I heard Jester ask Michael. Staniv didn't have any games, so he nodded vigorously.

"No problem."

Jester also nodded when he heard it, he didn't just nod when the other party said, but he had already understood Michael before. Stanif, this is indeed a very high-level employee, and he has done it several times as a planning supervisor or even a second system, and this time he is not promoted beyond his authority to let him play a real production person.

It is in full compliance with the regulations of the Group.

Michael. Staniff is an Eastern European immigrant, not very good at hiding his thoughts, he saw Jester nodding, his face was even more happy, he also felt that Jester had recognized him, so he took the initiative to ask: "BOSS, can you tell me what kind of game it is?" ”

Jester smiled.

"Whether or not you're going to make zuò, I haven't decided yet, but this game you're going to develop this time is different from the ones you've developed before, this time it's not on Dreambox but on GAMEBOY - do you know anything about GAMEBOY?"

“GAMEBOY?” Hearing Jester's words, Michael. Staniff was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of understanding, he nodded excitedly, "I'M A GAMEBOY FAN, AND I BASICALLY TAKE IT OUT TO PLAY FOR A WHILE EVERY TIME I HAVE TIME, AND THIS THING IS REALLY USEFUL TO KILL THE ODDS AND ENDS - MUCH MORE USEFUL THAN THE DETECTIVE NOVELS I PREPARE AT OTHER TIMES......"

Meet Michael. Staniff had a posture of getting more and more excited, and Jester could only interrupt the other party's speech with words.

"This is a game that has a lot to do with your hobby, I only recently had an idea, think about it - it is a detective reasoning game with the prosecutor as the protagonist, the protagonist will play a prosecutor, he will prosecute some criminal personnel, of course, these criminals will have lawyers, the role of the player accusing zhì, is to find the evidence at the scene, the other party's confession, and the actual facts of the case to find or related or contradictory places to connect, and then bring the criminals to justice."

When I heard Jester say that it was a mystery game, Michael. A look of surprise appeared on Staniff's face, and Jester's eyes brightened as he gave a general description of some of the patterns, because just from Jester's description, he knew that this was a game that he was very interested in.

“…… Well, that's basically what I think of this game, and I'm tentatively sure it's called "Reversal of the Judges", Michael, is there anything else you want to ask? ”

Jester said with a smile. R1152
