It has been nearly half a year since Nintendo officially withdrew, and Masayuki Uemura had already chosen to join Sony Computer Entertainment a month ago, and he rejected the invitation of Sega and Mars Entertainment, including some hardware development companies that have nothing to do with game consoles.

The dates of the E3 Show, the Tokyo Game Show and the GDC Game Developers Conference were also decided under the consultation between the three founding companies of Mars Entertainment, Sega, and Sony Computer Entertainment and the 25 permanent game companies, but the E3 Show and the Tokyo Game Show will only be officially held from next year, one is scheduled for spring, and the other is scheduled for autumn.

However, the first GDC Game Developers Conference was decided to be held in December of this year, in order to summarize and review the history of the game this year and select several game awards.

The game awards are modeled after the movie awards, because it is the relationship between the first session, so it is not too complicated, but three normal awards and a special award have been preliminarily formulated, and the three normal awards are the best game of the year, the best game company of the year, and the most popular game platform of the year.

The Special Award is modeled after the GDC Lifetime Achievement Award set up after the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Oscars.

Only those who have made indelible contributions to the entire video game industry can get this award, of course, Jester's voice is also very high, but Jester himself knows that this award will definitely not be won by a young man like himself.

In order to catch up with the second Mars Entertainment Carnival held in early November, Jester's two development teams are very fast, whether it is "Dream Simulation Battle" with a large amount of text or a real-time strategy game for the first time, "Age of Empires", which has a very high challenge for developers, has also completed the development of the alpha version in early October.

If it's for sale, it's definitely not going to work. In fact, Jester has set a release date for both games to be Christmas this year. That's still a lot of money.

The current version is just a version where all the frameworks have been completed. It's ready to play.

"Excuse me, are you really bearded, are you guys officially launching the demos of your two games at Mars Carnival?" Jester has also been interviewed more often lately, and every once in a while he will be interviewed by the media and release a break.

This time is no exception.

In fact, the questions are all discussed beforehand, and some of the content will not be leaked at all, and it can also keep players interested and interested.

"Yes, we have completed the development of our current demo version and are in the process of internal playtest testing." Jester for the interviewer. Fluently said the answer that had been prepared in advance, and this answer was also answered truthfully, in fact, it was true, these two games did cause a certain sensation in the internal trial of Mars Entertainment.

Especially "Age of Empires", insisting on becoming a reserved item that more than 90% of people will choose when they are resting inside Mars Entertainment.

"Are you happy with these two games?"

The reporter continued to ask questions, in fact, they are all a Xing dialect, and the answers to these questions have a high degree of freedom, and the respondent can choose a very patterned answer, which is not leaky. You can also choose to reveal a little bit of material to make the answer more compelling.

"Uh......"

Jester hesitated for a moment, as if thinking for a moment. Then he said: "To be honest, I'm not very satisfied with the game "Fantasy Simulation", because I haven't made any breakthroughs in this game on the srpg, it's decent, to be honest, this is just one, very close to the original game of "Fire Emblem", but I personally tried my best."

Although Jester said it in a somewhat sad tone. But the interviewer's tone is not at all the same.

There was even an indescribable hint of excitement in his tone.

"It's very rare to be able to reach the level of Fire Emblem, Mr. Lee. I don't think you know it, but your Fire Emblem is a textbook for this type of game. Almost everything that an RPG can think of, you have done it in it, and it is too difficult to complete the breakthrough, and to be able to do infinite closeness is already a very brilliant victory! "

Hearing the interviewer say this, Jester's interest also became a little high, and the smile on his face also brightened a little.

"Then thank you for your good words, but I don't think that almost all the RPGs you said can be done by "Fire Emblem", in fact, I now have countless new ideas in my mind, about RPGs, and even what the next generation of RPGs should look like, but because of technical limitations, these things, for the time being, can only be stored in my mind, but I believe that in the near future, players who like RPG games, I'm sure I'll be able to see a game like this."

"So from your words in the near future, it cannot be inferred that your Mars Entertainment has begun the development of the next generation of 3D hosts?"

Hearing Jester say this, the interviewer seemed to have heard something from this passage, so he tentatively asked a question that was not discussed before, according to the prior agreement, the interviewer can ask a few questions according to the process of the interview, but these questions are not agreed in advance, so the interviewee has the right to refuse to answer.

But Jester has always been reluctant to answer, and the same is true for this question.

But you can't just nod or shake your head for this kind of thing. [,！ ].

For any company, the development of new products is a first-class secret, for example, the development of dreambox3, even in Mars Entertainment, only the high-level knows the exact information about this matter, and only a few people know the specific information of the dreambox3 development team.

"It's a hard question to answer, because I don't think it's useful to say whether I started or didn't start, because as long as you report it, then the players will see it, and it will definitely make them reverie."

Jester smiled and said, "I can only say that we are just researching the next generation of consoles, what kind of console should be, if this question is uncertain, then there is no way to carry out the development work."

The interviewer must be dissatisfied with Jester's answer, but he also knows the ethics of the interviewer's questioning, and he can't chase after this kind of self-help question, because if you chase it hard, the interviewee will think that you are not here for the interview, but for kicking the museum.

As the saying goes, friends come with wine and jackals come with shotguns.

If a game media is considered a jackal by Mars Entertainment, and it has to live a life in North America, then it basically means that this game media has done its best.

Therefore, although the interviewer was eager to continue the question, he still restrained his innermost thoughts and continued to ask according to the question script that had been written in advance: "So, you have mentioned the acronym RTS before, and the deadline you set before October has passed, can you publish the answer now?" Also, the second Mars Carnival is about to open, has anyone guessed the right answer?"

"Haha...... Let's start with the second question."

After Jester heard this question, he laughed a few times, and then stopped laughing and said a few words: "It is true that someone guessed the correct answer, although the current letter has not been read in full, but from the results I have learned, it is not worth a player to guess the correct answer, and there is even a young player, not only guessed the meaning of RTS, but even wrote us a copy of his ideas and opinions about this kind of game, to be honest, it is very well written, and finally a little more, We've sent our letters to the guessed players, along with our carnival invitations."

"So what exactly does RTS mean......"

The interviewer took the initiative to remind him that Jester did not say what RTS meant in the previous long paragraph.

"Oh...... Yes, you don't say I almost forgot about it."

Jester patted his forehead, deliberately showing an apologetic look, and then nodded and continued: "Actually, this time it's easier to guess, after all, players already know before, and this time the team that developed this RTS game with me is Sid. Mel's previous team that developed Civilization can draw a lot of information from the analysis of the game genre of Civilization."

"The so-called RTS is actually real-time-gy, real-time strategy, and what is real-time strategy? This is from the word instant, instant is the corresponding to the round, I think players are very familiar with the turn-based system, so what about the real-time system? Actually......"

Speaking of this, Jester stopped talking, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "As for what is called real-time strategy, wait until the day of the carnival opening, and after the players have played our Age of Empires, then they will naturally know what real-time strategy is."

"Age of Empires?!"

In just a moment, the interviewer grasped the most crucial term in Jester's passage.

"Yes, Age of Empires, that's the name of this real-time strategy game." Jester nodded, ascertaining the interviewer's question in a positive tone. (To be continued)
