But after all, this is its own, and after Fu Zhan's studio in China, the first studio established by a Chinese, so it is still of great significance.

At this time, Jester couldn't help but think of another crooked game company.

Several of the games from this company are quite famous.

Maybe there are not many players who have heard the name of the company, but most of the old players who have experienced the arcade era have heard of a very classic arcade beat up game developed by their company, with the theme of the Three Kingdoms, drawing on a lot of elements of "Samurai of the Round Table", which can be called the highest peak work of domestic arcade games.

This game is the famous "Three Kingdoms".

The name of this company is Elephant Electronics, and since its inception, their main focus has been arcade games.

In addition to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", several other domestic arcade games that many players are familiar with are also developed by them, for example, before "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", their research work "Journey to the West".

For example, the arcade fighting game "Once Upon a Time", which was once very popular for a while, is the game with the real name "Star War", and Jester was very impressed with this game, because it was the first game he played in the arcade, if nothing else, because his language was Chinese, and there was his favorite Huang Feihong in it.

You must know that when Jester watched Tsui Hark's movies at that time, he really treated Wong Fei Hung as his idol.

In fact, although Elephant Electronics is not very famous in the eyes of players, and it seems that it is far inferior to Daewoo Information, which is also a bent background, but in fact, there are many more people who may have played Elephant Video Games than Daewoo Games.

In addition to the famous "Huang Feihong", "Three Kingdoms", and "Journey to the West", they also have an extremely famous arcade puzzle game. It is also the first Chinese arcade puzzle game, or it can be said that it is a game in the form of a continuous view, that is, it is still the famous "Chinese Dragon", and many people may not know which game it is when they hear this name.

However, it only needs a little introduction, as long as you have entered the arcade hall in the arcade era, even if you haven't played it, you must have seen this game.

It's that mahjong elimination.,After the elimination.。 The beauty of the background picture will give you the one to undress and see.

Of course, Jester hadn't played this game before, and he didn't know if he would really take off his clothes, but he heard people say that he could take off his clothes, and Jester wanted to find a chance to try it, but at that time, these machines were occupied and played all year round, so he didn't find any good opportunities throughout the arcade years.

In fact, the games are not limited to arcade machines.

They're not as productive on PC as they are on arcades, and they don't have a big production like arcades. But that doesn't mean their games on PC aren't famous.

You know, at the beginning, Elephant Electronics had a game on PC that was as famous as Daewoo's "Monopoly".

This game should have been played by people who have been in contact with PC for a long time in China, and it is even more popular than "Monopoly", this game is the most famous mahjong game "Star Three Missing One". Of course, there are more influential games than that, for example, the first Chinese dancing game. The first Chinese rhythm games were their first creations.

It can be said that if it had not been born at the wrong time, at the end of the nineties. The glorious era of arcades has passed, so the influence of Elephant Electronics will not be comparable to that of a money-cheating company like Daewoo.

Of course, more than 20 years later, the once innovative and enterprising Elephant Electronics has also been completely corrupted like Daewoo.

Jester thought of the elephant electronics, and immediately gave his company a phone call to the office in the bend, of course, the call was not made by him personally, and he didn't need to do this kind of thing personally, just talk to his assistant, that is, to check whether there is a game company called Elephant Electronics in Taiwan, after all, this game company in the future, even for many players who know something about the history of the game, is considered unpopular.

Even Jester probably remembered the establishment of the company in the years around the turn of the eighties and nineties, but he doesn't know exactly when.

Because he remembered that he had played the game "Once Upon a Time" in the arcade hall when he was about '93, he concluded that Elephant Electronics must have been established before '93, and that arcade games would take more development time than home console games, after deducting the development time required for the game.

In this way, it is very likely that the elephant electronics was established in 92, 91, or even earlier.

He doesn't need to worry too much about the 'Era' project now, after all, the formal development has not yet begun, and he has a clear division of labor, so he doesn't need to worry about anything until the results of the first phase come out.

Only after seeing the first phase of the development plan of the sub-project can he make targeted modifications, and this time he is involved in the absolute elite soldiers in the industry, and even unceremoniously said that if it is only about pure game development ability, these people may be above him, and this is a real new game that he intends to make his own zuò, at most borrowing from the gameplay of later sandbox games.

In the absence of ready-made games to compare, Jester is still somewhat self-aware of how much he is capable of.

During this time, although Jester is not in the process of setting up any new projects, however, he promised to give Sega the two games that he made Zuò, or need to travel as much as possible, although it is said that two games within five years can be, but, the first game must be handed over to Sega before the end of next year, although Jester has handed over the development of the game to Itagaki Companion, but after all, Itagaki Companion is still relatively young and inexperienced, so he still needs to take care of it.

During this time, Jester basically stayed in the development team of "Shadow Blade" every day, chatting with Itagaki about the development of this game every day.

For example, for the difficulty of the game is controlled above.

Jester always believes that an action game must be challenging, and if an action game only needs to press O to clear the level, then this action game has no value in zài.

A good action game must be challenging, but it can't be too challenging.

What does it mean to be too high?

That is, for some handicapped players, it can't be high, and it completely makes players unable to see the hope of clearing the level.

For example, the game of Extreme Demon World Village, it is a taboo, is the game a good game? Of course it's a good game, it's one of the few hardcore action games in the industry, but why is it that this game has so many fewer fan sales and word-of-mouth than this Castlevania Nocite? It's because of the lack of a level under the moon in terms of the balance of difficulty.

Of course, under the moon is the benchmark work in 2D action games, and there is no other game that can match it except the old new Metroid.

How should the difficulty of an action game be designed?

Either you're like a ninja dragon, you can choose the difficulty for handicapped players, and even if it's the lowest difficulty, for the average player, it requires a high degree of concentration, but it won't be like the extreme ninja difficulty, isn't it completely hopeless.

Even, after clearing the ninja dragon on the lower ninja difficulty, it will be very rewarding for some handicapped players.

Or it's like Miyazaki Hidetaka's soul series and blood curse, although it's difficult, although it's cruel, although it's cruel, although there is no choice of difficulty, but the design of his game difficulty is clever in this place, you don't need to be like Devil May Cry or Ninja Dragon, you need a high hand speed, to be able to play high difficulty, in Miyazaki Hidetaka's game, even if it's a handicapped, as long as you have patience, perseverance, and perseverance, you can complete the clearance.

Moreover, the sense of accomplishment gained from it is definitely not inferior to the action games of sulfuric acid face and Kamiya's bald head.

In fact, there is another company that has a special action game, and that is Nintendo's games, such as "Mario", "Yoshi", and "Donkey Kong".

Don't look at the cartoons of these games, they seem to be games that some young players like.

But in fact, this kind of game of Nintendo has always been a real core game, you want to play high stars, play with a sense of achievement, especially "Donkey Kong", the difficulty is really not low.

Therefore, there are many people who say that Nintendo's action games have always been at the core, but it is also very accurate to always wear a low skin.

Ninja Dragon is Itagaki Companion's future work, at that time he was already perfect for the design of difficulty, and naturally he didn't need Jester to advise, but now, for Itagaki Companion, who was in charge of the action game for the first time, for Itagaki Companion, at this point, although Jester and Itagaki Companion had talked so much from the bottom of their hearts before, Jester was still not very relieved.

Jester also received a report from the investigation by the Bend Office.

They did some research at the game development company in the crooked world, but they didn't find the game company that Jester wanted them to look for, called Elephant Electronics.

Jester, who got the news, was also a little excited, he didn't know if this was the reason for his arrival, the butterfly effect triggered, or the reason why the elephant electronics really hadn't been established, in his heart, he still hoped that it was the second kind. (To be continued......)
