Chapter 580: Explanation and Persuasion

After hearing Jester's question.

Itagaki didn't answer right away, he just stared at the unfinished game development project in his hand and didn't say a word.

This made Jester a little strange, he didn't understand why Itagaki was like this.

However, Jester could also see from Itagaki Companion's current demeanor that he was not in a good mood at this time, so Jester thought for a moment and asked, "What?" Don't like him transferring you from Japan to the United States? ”

"It's not."

This time, Itagaki didn't continue to be silent, but answered quickly, which made Jester purse his lips and nod, he knew what the problem was.

"Huh."

So, Jester smiled softly at first, as if he wanted Itagaki to relax, who was now a little nervous.

Seeing that Itagaki Companion's expression showed a little slackening, Jester continued.

"Why, Itagaki, do you think it's a little reluctant that this game will be carried on Sega's console? Do you think it's an insult to me to ask you to design a game like this? Or do you think you don't have this game on the MD console? As he spoke, Jester's tone became stern.

"No...... No. ”

Itagaki was also a little afraid of Jester's sudden change in attitude, and he opened his mouth and stammered to deny Jester's statement.

"Oh, no? So tell me, what's going on with you? Jester's tone was full of disbelief.

And it was Itagaki Companion's silence that answered him, but this time the silence was different from the previous one, this time Itagaki Companion seemed to be thinking about how to answer, and it took a while. Only then did I hear Itagaki Companion Nosin speak again: "It's just that I think we have so many talents in Mars Entertainment." Good at almost every game genre right now, why would you have to pay so much to find someone from Sega? ”

Itagaki Companion Letter, who opened the chatterbox, was a little gushing. Jester, who knew him well, knew that this was definitely not Itagaki Companion's style.

Jester didn't speak, and Itagaki continued to speak.

"It's not that you asked me to design a game to be developed on the MD console, I have any opinion of you, you can trust me so much, and I am very grateful for entrusting me with such a heavy responsibility, after all, I am just a newcomer who has just entered the industry for less than two years, and you trust me so much to let me complete a game independently. You know, this is basically impossible for a Japanese game company, but, boss, it's those conditions you have for Sega that chill those of us who trust you! ”

Obviously, Itagaki was extremely excited this time, his face flushed, and he said this paragraph in an almost questioning tone.

After saying that, Jester could clearly look at Itagaki from his face. It was a lot easier to see him.

Jester, on the other hand, was not angry at all.

He just smiled and said, "What? Do you feel good about saying this? I've said it before, there's something I want to say. Just say it directly, I'm not such a narrow-minded person, in fact, you don't need to be so tactful, I heard the people I worked with with talk about you before, you won't be so elegant and modest when you spray people, which doesn't fit your personality. ”

Jester's words made Itagaki a little embarrassed.

"Okay. I'll give you a solution, otherwise, you probably won't be able to help me complete the game project with peace of mind. ”

Seeing Itagaki Companion Shin, he blushed a little and lowered his head. Jester couldn't help but smile a little, the current Itagaki companion is still far from the future professional troll sulfuric acid face. He smacked his lips, as if thinking about how to prepare the wording.

"You know that, too. The scale of my new game is probably a big plan that hasn't been seen since there was a video game, and it can be seen as an attempt, an attempt to see if we can simulate reality in a game, two hundred million dollars, you think it's a lot, everybody thinks it's a lot, in fact I don't think it's enough, seriously, it's crazy that I'm not sure it's going to go as planned. ”

Speaking of this, Jester smiled bitterly at himself.

However, Itagaki couldn't laugh at all, because when he first heard his boss talk about this game, his excitement was incomprehensible, because it was a fantasy game, but he also knew that with the current technology, it was very difficult to make such a game, so difficult that it was impossible to complete.

"But I'm still willing to give it a try."

Jester was decisive.

"So, I want to get as much help as I can, in my eyes, Suzuki Yu is such a person, of course, as you said, there are many people in Mars Entertainment who are not inferior to Suzuki at all, I can name at least three, but can these people completely replace Suzuki Yu? What Yuto Suzuki is good at, are they good at? ”

Faced with Jester's question, Itagaki didn't know how to answer.

"Itagaki, you know, this is a big project of 200 million US dollars, it can be said that the success or failure of this game is directly related to the life and death of Mars Entertainment, yes, do you think that Mars Entertainment is in full swing now, it seems that Sega and Sony can only survive, but this is just the appearance, the game console is this thing, it has its own era, in this era can be widely popular, the console that dominates the world, his next era, may not be able to receive the same popularity, that is to say, We can occupy more than 70% of the market share in this era, and in the next console era, we may not be able to do so, because every generation is starting from scratch for every console manufacturer. ”

"Do you understand that?"

After all, the current generation of game consoles has only come to the second generation, unlike the later generations, it has gone through six or seven generations, and it has long been seen through the game console, so when I first heard Jester say this, Itagaki still had a look of disbelief.

However, Itagaki is a top student at Waseda University and is extremely smart, and when he thinks about it carefully in his mind, it seems that this is really the case.

"Looks like you get it."

Jester's eyes were sharp, and he saw the change in the expression on Itagaki Companion's face, so he also had insight into Itagaki Companion's thoughts: "Okay, as for why I should offer such high conditions to Sega, and even put me in, the reason is very simple, that is, in these at least five years of development, Suzuki Yu can't develop games for Sega, which is an unacceptable thing for Sega, you should know the significance of Suzuki Yu to Sega." ”

"And only by using me to develop at least two games for them can I impress Hayao Nakayama and agree to my conditions and lend Yu Suzuki Yu to help me complete this game."

"You're right, we Mars Entertainment, there are indeed many designers who are no worse than Suzuki Yu, but, including Suzuki Yu, I have basically worked with all these people, in my mind, there are people who are stronger than Suzuki Yu, but in this project, there is no more suitable than Suzuki Yu to be my deputy, I don't allow this project to fail, so, I want to do my best to make this project get rid of the non-technical factors."

"It's not what you or you think, I don't believe you, I doubt your abilities, I don't think you're as good as Yu Suzuki, it's not like that at all."

"Do you really get it?"

In the end, Jester's eyes fell directly on Itagaki Companion.

After a few seconds of silence, Itagaki also nodded.

"Alright."

Jester smiled and said, "Let's not talk about these disappointing things, tell me about your game that is still in design...... Shadow Blade, you know, we are going to finish this game together, and this game has to be put on my name, I don't allow it, you smashed my sign." “

Jester had previously told Itagaki about the agreement he was going to make with Sega, so he had to complete an outline and plan for the action game first.

Of course, Jester had to be done with Itagaki Companion, otherwise, Jester's name could not be hung, and Sega would not approve of it.

Itagaki has no opinion on this.

Because Jester had assured him that this time he and Jester were both the makers of the game.

"Okay......"

Itagaki also nodded, he opened his mouth to say something, but there didn't seem to be anything to say, so he directly handed the project of the game that had just been partially completed in his hand to Jester: "Boss, you better take a look first, let me say, I don't have anything to say." ”

"Okay."

Jester nodded and took the stack of white papers in Itagaki Companion's hand, and looked at it seriously.

Although Jester has no problem listening, speaking, reading and writing in Japanese, his reading speed is still not fast, after all, he is not a native language.

But he looked at it very seriously.

Itagaki didn't bother Jester either, and while Jester was watching his completed part of the game project, he just sat quietly on the side, holding a pen and writing something from time to time.

It took almost forty minutes for Jester to let out a breath and finish reading the game plan, and then he looked up at Itagaki and asked in a very serious tone.

"Itagaki, can I ask you a question first, in your eyes, what do you think is the most important point of an action game?" (To be continued) R580
