Chapter 345: A Newcomer
"Huh?"
Hearing Pierges say this, Jester was surprised, he was just a casual question with curiosity, but he didn't expect the other party to really have an idea for a new game, and he continued to ask with some curiosity: "Is it still an action game?" ”
Although Jester didn't mean to, he could still hear that Jester's mouth didn't seem to be very interested in action games, and Jacks wasn't very angry, he personally liked the genre, every member of the king development team was a fan of this type of game, and Mark. Saini has also said more than once that if you want the king development team to continue to grow bigger and stronger, then the development team will have to consider the issue of style transformation, not to let them not make zuò action passes, but to let them make zuò other types of games, so that they can also be integrated.
However, Pierges and others are always interested in other types of games.
What they most recognize is what Jester said when he was developing the only cooking game to reach one million sales on Sega's MS console: "You don't have to make a game that millions of people support, but a game that captures the hearts of 100,000 people." Then, we hope to transfer the fun of this game to the next generation......"
This statement has been cited as an inexplicable force for proponents of niche games like Pierges, and Jestertonguò's game, which is considered unusually niche in anyone's opinion, proves that even niche games can sell well, as long as the quality of the game itself is good enough.
"First of all, the port of Dreambox2 for Avengers 3, this work is relatively easy, I estimate that when our development team's vacation is over, they will come back in less than a month, and we are discussing it for the arcade version. There will be some changes to suit the characteristics of our new console, but it is not too different from the arcade version. ”
First of all, Pierges didn't say anything about the new game directly, but talked about their next mission, and Jester also asked what they planned to do next, which is not unsatisfactory, but Gerst has no interest in these, porting a game is not a big deal in his opinion, this kind of thing, should not be reported to the general boss by a development director with a high status in the company. Because it's so easy.
"The next words,Actually, it's just an idea we discussed.,There's not been much in-depth discussion.,There's just a newcomer in our development team.,It's a Japanese.,It's when I sent someone to Japan to help them take off their pants and make "Ninja Dragon Sword and Sword".,I accidentally encountered it.。
As if remembering something, Pierges still didn't start to say a question about the new game that was of interest not only to Jester, but also to the others present. Instead, he talked about a new employee in their development team, just an employee, how could these people like Jester care.
But since Pigers had spoken, they couldn't interrupt.
"He was a college student who had just graduated from Waseda. It seems that at that time, he went to take off his pants to apply for a job just to accompany a friend.,His friend is a fan of our Mars Entertainment.,I've tried to Kojima and Sakaguchi before.,But it didn't work.。 As a last resort, he didn't want to go to Nintendo and Nintendo's third-party manufacturers, so he found our third-party franchise manufacturers. The first stop is the pants off demon. ”
As he spoke, Pierce seemed to remember something funny, and suddenly laughed unconsciously, which made Jester and the others a little curious, and they didn't know why he laughed, but from the words he just said, he couldn't see any laughter at all.
Just when everyone wondered, someone couldn't help but want to ask out loud.
Pigers finally stopped laughing and continued, waving his hand and saying, "This is also after me, when I decided to recruit him and asked him if he would like to come to the United States to work, he hesitated for a while and said that he was unwilling, and I asked him why, he sued me that the reason why he accompanied his friend to apply for the job was only because the pants demon was close to his home." ”
Close to home?
What is the reason for this? Hearing what Piergers said, everyone else present except Jester couldn't help but laugh, this employee is really a little cute.
However, Jester did have it in his heart after hearing it, because what Pierges said was very much in line with the personal experience of a game designer who was very famous in later generations, and was also a designer of action games.
He also graduated from Waseda, and he was also asked in a program that was interviewed why he went back to work as a pants demon, and he just said indifferently that the pants off demon is closer to my house.
"So ......"
In the midst of everyone's laughter, Jester's face only had a hint of a casual chuckle, his usual expression was like this, and others rarely saw Jester's overly exaggerated expression, and even many people commented on Jester that he was moody and angry, and the city was very deep.
Jester interrupted everyone's laughter with a remark, drawing the eyes of everyone present to him.
Then Jester asked lightly, "So how did you convince him?" From his words, I seem to see that he is a very family-loving person. ”
Pigers also smiled proudly: "Actually, it did take a lot of effort, I told him a lot about the status of our Mars Entertainment in the video game industry, and even took the boss to blow in front of him for a while, but the other party was unmoved, obviously the other party is very assertive." ”
"But it's not useless, at least the other party promised that if the place of work is in the Japanese branch, he can win, after all, our branch headquarters is in Osaka, his home is not far from Osaka, and, I also got the news from other sources, he has received the notice of Waseda Mentor's master's degree, if I can't convince him as much as possible, he is likely to continue his master's program, in fact, when I got the news, I have decided to give up, One last conversation with him, I just wanted to discuss action games with him as a person. ”
As he spoke, Pigers' affection became a little excited, and it was obvious that he seemed to have thought of something that he himself was extremely excited about and worth telling.
"In other words, it was this discussion about the action game that made the other party change his original idea?" Jester asked thoughtfully, and Pierges nodded busily, obviously, Jester guessed ten.
Although Pierges nodded, he continued: "That discussion was difficult for me personally, to be honest, that young man who just graduated from Waseda University is definitely a game genius, not the kind of game player, of course he is really good at playing games, the most important thing is that I heard his friend say that he was not interested in games at all before, he was really interested in games, and it was only in the last year." ”
Pierce is not a person who likes to talk big, this is a consensus within Mars Entertainment, when I hear him praise a person like this, it means that this person is really very good, but Jester is still the first to speak: "What did you discuss at that time, and it touched you so much." ”
First coughed, then stretched out his tongue to moisten his lips, and after talking for a long time, it still felt a little dry for Pierges.
Then, he continued: "The topic of discussion is actually the game that the Ninja Dragon Sword has just completed, this game is very distinctive, the designer is also very thoughtful, I don't know if any of you have played it, of course, it's a little difficult, but it's fun......"
While Piges was talking, more than one person raised their hands and coaxed, saying that they were very interested in this game and often played it, but they were abused to death by the difficulty inside, and more than once scolded the designer for being simply anti-human.
“…… We talked about this game, and then he told me a lot about how this game should be made in the future, and how to make zuò in the future action games, and his opinion is very similar to that of the boss! ”
"Oh? Similar to me? This came as a surprise to Jester.
"Yes." Piges nodded, and said in a very firm tone, "He thinks that this kind of action game lacks enough memorable and shocking performance in 2D graphics, and it is very difficult to make this type of game reborn in 2D, but it is not impossible, it is very difficult, if it can be changed to 3D on the scene, and the designer makes a variety of interesting settings in the 3D environment, it will really be very memorable." ”
"3D?" After hearing Jester's words, he also smiled, and now although he made "Thor's Hammer" on the PC proves that the shock of 3D games to people is indescribable, but for home consoles that are still dominated by 2D games, it seems that the concept of 3D will inevitably be in the future has not yet become the mainstream.
But today wasn't the time to think about these complicated and annoying questions, Jester pressed these messy thoughts from his mind before continuing to ask.
"What's his name?" (To be continued......)
