Chapter 295: A Great Gift
"This is the Super Balotelli you just made?"
Jester looked at Yuji Nakata in front of him with interest, he didn't expect Yuji Nakatsu to take out the sample so quickly after hearing his own Jianyì, and in the meantime, he also helped himself make the CG of the game called "Clannad".
Speaking of this game, as expected, although his name is hung, after it was just released, it did cause a sensation for a while, but the niche nature of otaku games is vividly reflected in this era, in addition to gaining a lot of innocent girl fans for Jester, there is no other better harvest.
It's really impossible to say that only 300,000 copies have been sold, and of course, Jester didn't have anyone to promote this game, after all, there is no point in promoting a game that is sure not to be popular.
Jester asked Yuji Naka, while casually flipping through a cassette tape that was unwrapped and exposed.
Yuji smiled shyly, he was a year younger than Jester.
"It's not a good job.,It's a good picture.,There's really no difficulty in making this game.,Because many models are available before.,You can apply from the group's database.,The framework of the system is also very easy to do.,I almost debugged it in a month.,And then it's the props inside.,It's still very rare to have a lot of props in the current function to achieve the design effect.,So I gave up some of the big ones.,That's a month.。
Saying that, Yuji Naka paused slightly, and then continued: "The most troublesome thing is the map, at the beginning our team made a few I was not satisfied, it took almost two months to make the first map, so I immediately flew over to show you, our map style is not a problem to make like this." ”
"Good. We went to the lounge. ”
Jester stood up and beckoned Yuji Naka.
An hour later, after Jester and Yuji Naka had tried the one-map-only Super Balotelli a dozen times, he put down the handle in his hand with some unhappiness.
Jester looked at Yuji Naka, who was still smiling on his face, and said: "Actually, look at my reaction when I played your game just now, you know my answer, you did a very good job, I found that you are very suitable for this kind of short, flat and fast type of game, which is much more talented than you are to do RPG games, did you find this when you made your own zuò?" ”
"Yes."
Hearing Jester say this, Yuji Naka nodded without hesitation, and a smile appeared on his face. The smile is faint.
"I did feel it when I was developing, when I was developing Phantasy Star, I was actually mainly responsible for program development, and the plot was done by my friends, and I was not good at plot-focused games, and RPG games are characterized by plot-oriented, and the reason why Phantasy Star was so successful was not because of the plot, in terms of plot, whether it was Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy or even a few RPGs of the boss. They are not inferior to mine. ”
Hearing Yuji Nakatsu say this, Jester nodded, and then added with a smile: "Then when you developed this Super Balotelli Racing, you found out." With no plot to bind you, you find that your ideas are so free that you just need to come up with one interesting idea after another and program it with your programming skills? ”
"Yes."
Yuji Naka's face was also full of gratitude. He knew that almost all of the game's ideas were sued by his boss. And it is precisely because of this idea that he has these gains.
"Let's do the game you want, and when we get our sixteen-bit console out next year, I have an idea for the first game on the sixteen-bit console right now, the style suits you well, and I'll talk to you about it when you're done with Super Balotelli Racing."
After Jester finished speaking, Yuji Naka took back the game cartridge he had given Jester earlier, bowed down and took his leave.
At this time, Jester just talked about the sixteen-bit machine and realized that time had passed so quickly, he had come to this time for more than four years, and he had almost single-handedly promoted the rebirth of the entire video game from the ruins, and then experienced the entire eight-bit computer era, from an unliterate teenager to the current number one youth leader in the United States, which was like a dream.
And now, four years have passed, as the eight-bit era known as the barbaric era of video games is about to pass, followed by a more glorious sixteen-bit era, and even PC games that have been living in the shadow of the home console, will also begin to counterattack the home console market in recent years, although for the current home console market, except for a few types of game types, it is almost impossible to compare with the home console market.
And there will be more and more enemies, NEC he didn't pay attention to, they lack vision and courage at the same time, but Sony, he doesn't dare to underestimate it.
He knows Sony's courage, and he also knows the determination of Ken Kutaragi and Norio Oga for the game market, although Akio Morita is still in power, but in a few years, Akio Morita, the founder of Sony, who is revered by the Japanese as the saint of management, will leave, and at that time, Norio Ohga, who will take over the position of Sony, will go all out to march towards video games.
However, now that Nintendo has Sony's powerful hardware development capabilities, what kind of 16-bit game console can it make?
Admittedly, in his memory, Super FC is a very perfect game console, almost the mechanism of the sixteen-bit era, but this console is fully absorbing the shortcomings of MD, after Sony's top hardware engineering and Nintendo's development engineers worked together to make Zuò completed, and now, without MD for Nintendo's reference, what kind of machine can they design?
Besides, the original Super FC only came out in ninety-one years, and now it is less than eight or nine years.
As for Sega, Jester couldn't help but think of Hayabusa Nakayama's old but stubborn look in his mind, and then, it was Suzuki Yu who pursed his lips and thought, Suzuki Yu has always been Jester's favorite game designer, but his ability and his talent actually don't match, to be precise, his development team at Sega, there is no way to complete his kind of talented idea.
"Shenmue, ah......"
Jester's mouth sighed slightly, this is a game that many veteran gamers regret, but in Suzuki Yu, in the hands of Sega, this game did not reach the height he should have, but the game mode he created Zào quickly gave countless European and American game designers endless inspiration, and finally let European and American designers who have been living in the shadow of Japanese RPGs discover the path they will take in the future.
Just a year and a half later, a game called GTA3, which was made with the design of Shenmue with the same design as the game designed by Yu Suzuki, was released and instantly became popular in Europe and the United States, triggering a miracle of sales.
"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely make Zuò Shenmue myself."
Jester pressed all these meetings back into his mind, and now it makes no sense to think about them, because the functions required by "Shenmue" are not at all what the machines of this era can bear, and even the game design ideas embodied in "Shenmue" will listen to these game designers who have only seen the eight-bit machine in this era, and they will also listen to it like a fantasy, without the slightest meaning.
Looking at the Dreambox in front of him, which had been here for four years, Jester remembered that this was still the eleventh machine produced by the Dreambox, because the first ten were too commemorative, and were booked in advance by many people, and he thought of the sixteen MD that Sega was about to go on sale, and sighed in his heart.
The era of eight-bit computers is finally over.
As soon as he left the lounge and was about to rush back to his office, he received a message from his assistant that there was a phone call, and the caller was Yokoi Junhei.
When he heard this, Jester's face instantly showed a look of ecstasy.
Then he returned to the office almost as fast as he could, and then picked up his own phone, and as soon as he said a few words, Jester heard the familiar voice of Yokoi Gunpei after the other side knew that it was him.
"BOSS, the official version of the palm machine has been finalized, we completed the actual installation of the machine a few hours ago, our product has no problem at all, and within a week, it can be delivered to the factory for official production." On the other end of the phone was the extremely excited news of Yokoi Junhei.
Hearing this, Jester clenched his fists fiercely, then waved his arms vigorously.
Because he didn't pay attention to the relationship in front of him, his fist slammed into the table in front of him, making a loud 'bang', and then a sharp pain spread from his fist along his arm, quickly spreading throughout his body.
Jester didn't seem to feel the pain, and he wanted to laugh three times, but he forced it back.
The release of Sega's sixteen-bit machine did put a lot of pressure on Jester, and it was impossible for him to come up with the same sixteen-bit machine in the same time, but if he couldn't get his own sixteen-bit machine, it didn't mean that he couldn't get a new product that had never appeared before.
Handheld machine, this is a great gift I prepared for the release of Sega's MD. (To be continued......) R1292
