Just a few days after E3 ended, Jester received an invitation.

This invitation is Sid. Mel gave it to him.

Wanting Jester to give a lecture at UCLA's Department of Game Design, Sid Brown for more than a year. Mel didn't make any games, but was probably embarrassed to give lectures to students in the newly opened game design department at UCLA.

Before Sid. Mel tasked his students with the task of working together to develop a game that would allow Sid to work on a game. Mel was satisfied, then Sid. Mel agreed to invite Jester to give them a lecture, which was very attractive to the students.

When Jester started the game design and development department at UCLA, he was one of the first visiting professors to give lectures to students.

At that time, Jester had a lot of time, so he often went to lectures.

However, in the past year or so, because there are too many things, Jester has also quit his previous task of lecturing, but he still often asks the designers of his own company to make cameos. Mel hasn't been working on any new games in more than a year and has been teaching there.

"Okay, when?"

Jester immediately agreed, and although he didn't have much time now, it didn't matter to him to spare a few hours or half a day to give a lecture.

"Just tomorrow, these students can't wait."

Hearing Jester's quick agreement, Sid. Mel was also very happy, and immediately told Jester about the time.

In fact, giving this kind of lecture to students is the easiest, and it is a little easier than giving a lecture to players and in-service designers, which is relatively modest, and you can't say it too professionally. It's too technical, and it might be hard for students who haven't really developed games on the front lines to understand, but you can't be too entertaining, because students expect you to talk to them for an hour or two, and obviously not to waste their time.

A student in the Department of Game Design, after hearing Sid. Mel told them that they were very excited when Jester would come tomorrow morning to give them a lecture on game development.

And Jester's influence isn't just in the gaming space.

He's a youth icon in the United States.

Rank Bibir. Gates is still tall. He is also in the top 50 of the Forbes list of the richest people in the United States, and is a big man who rivals the richest of the country.

What's more, this is their senior, although Jester is a dropout, but the students in it have never regarded Jester as a dropout, and Jester's achievements over the years are proud of these students.

So. When Jester came to the Game Design Department to give a lecture, in addition to the game design students, the students from other departments were also very excited, although they also told their friends. Jester's lecture this time is mainly about some of his experience in game development, not the kind of general lecture, but as long as Jester talks about it. For them, it's fine.

They didn't really care about what it was about.

Originally, the lecture was scheduled to be held in the game design classroom, but there were so many people who wanted to attend the lecture. So in the end, I had to change the location of the lecture.

It was converted into a lecture hall at the University of California, Los Angeles.

But because it was a sudden, the borrowed lecture hall was not very large, and those large lecture halls were arranged, although the school also attached great importance to Jester's lecture, but it was too rushed, and it was difficult for the school to deploy it.

After this matter was told to Jester, Jester was noncommittal, he had spent a while thinking about the subject of this lecture, and it was almost the same thing, because it was Sid. Mel invited himself to the relationship, so the core of his lecture this time was around Sid. Mel's game came to be played after he heard a lot of people come back to listen.

frowned.

"I think it's better to pick and choose, at least those who come to listen to it must have an understanding of what I'm going to talk about, I can't talk about it, he is confused when he says a lot of examples, it's useless for him to listen, but those who want to hear may not have a place, but they can't hear it."

Jester is like this to Sid. Mel replied.

However, it is impossible to organize a systematic selection, after all, the time is relatively tight, and Jester is working with Sid. Mel said a little bit about what he was going to talk about at the lecture, so, Sid. When Mel heard that it was about his game, he thought about a few questions and prepared to answer them randomly to the people he wanted to attend.

If you answer correctly, you can come in and listen.

Of course, the questions are all very basic, basically, having played Sid. Mel's games are all sure to be answered.

Nevertheless.

When Jester arrived at the lecture hall where he was going to give a lecture, it was still crowded, and there were even many people standing in the aisles, which was indeed quite unexpected.

When the students in the classroom also saw Jester appearing, many of them shouted excitedly.

"I was surprised."

Jester smiled before continuing, "I only promised Sid yesterday. Mel gave a lecture, but I didn't expect that in less than a day, so many people would come to listen, I roughly counted, there were about four or five hundred people, right? ”

Four or five hundred is not a small number, after all, it has been sifted through some crude screening, at least with some knowledge of video games.

For example, if many scholars come to give lectures, if they only have one day to prepare, the number of people who come to listen to them may be more than 100 or hundred, which is impossible.

Because of the time of day, the scope and time of transmission are not enough.

Hearing Jester say this, everyone present burst into laughter, and someone said in a loud voice: "Actually, there were more people before, but those were all here to join in the fun, and they didn't answer the question about "Civilization", so we didn't let them in, anyway, they didn't understand, so why waste time." ”

Then the audience continued to laugh.

Even Jester burst out laughing, but he quickly clapped his hands: "Okay, maybe Sid before. . . Mel has already told you that what I'm going to talk about today is around the development of Civilization, and I was involved in the first game of this game. Mel talked in detail about how we were supposed to make the game. (To be continued......)
