Since he can't understand what Jester is talking about from the name, Mark. Seni simply asked.

"What does blocking mean?"

Jester suddenly remembered that the system he said could be said to be a well-known system among later generations of fighting game players, especially those of the Street Fighter series, which was impossible to know in this era, so Jester smiled embarrassedly and explained.

"To put it simply, blocking is used as a verb here, which means blocking, and in fighting, you can understand it as a blocking system." Jester said very briefly, this system is very difficult in terms of setting and completion, and it is not very simple to explain it in a few words.

Mark. Saini also likes to practice boxing, and he also enjoys watching the blues. Lee's film, when making Zuò "The Avengers", discussed various fighting techniques with various genres of fighting competitions, and even when he was writing the setting of this fighting game, he re-found some materials from the time and watched them carefully several times.

So, when Jester talked about this blocking system, he had some enlightenment.

"But this system is still more difficult to control, I mean such a mentions, whether it is in judgment or timing, there are a lot to consider, for example, a fighting game, there will be an upper attack, a middle attack, the difference between the lower attack, and even the advancement of the jump attack, which must be used to make a reasonable block judgment procedure, which is not a simple thing."

For Jester, he also said something he knew, and more detailed things would need to be discussed and studied continuously within the development team.

"Of course, the blocking system can be completely immune to damage after successfully blocking, which is too strong. Even if you want to complete this kind of block, the requirements for the player are very high, then there will be a huge imbalance, so, I think there is also a limit system for this system, if the block fails, it will enter a defenseless state, in this state, the character controlled by the player, will take more damage, or be more easily ...... combos"

In terms of fighting games. Jester with Mark. Saini talked for a long time, until finally Jester really had nothing to say. Saini is a stopper, after all, Jester is not an all-rounder.

"Phantasy Star" can be regarded as Jester's last big move in the Japanese market strategy before the end of this year, the first two games, although the sales are very good, but it is far from opening the Japanese market, and for this game of Yuji in the middle, Jester is still very important.

In fact, there are many types of games that Yuji Nakatsu is suitable for. In Jester's memory, he has shown great gaming talent in any genre, not only as a very talented gamer, but more importantly. He is also a top programmer.

You know, this kind of identity is very rare, and many talented game designers have many creative and imaginative ideas, but because they are not alone with the program. In paying attention to his thoughts, there will inevitably be deviations, so. It's not so satisfying in terms of finishing.

But if a maker is a top-notch program, then he can reproduce his ideas as perfectly as possible.

For example, this time Yuji Nakatsu said before he started to make Zuò, a large number of cutscenes CG and three-dimensional game scenes and monster scenes, which are not difficult on the art side, the difficulty is that the program has limited functions to complete this idea.

If someone else wrote such a proposal, Jester might have rejected it because it was too difficult to develop, but when he saw Yuji Naka's application, he had an idea why not let him give it a try, you know, at Sega, Yuji Naka was the main program of the "Phantasy Star" development team.

And the function of the Dreambox is not inferior to that of the MS.

In fact, the current game CG is completely different from the game CG understood by later generations of players, in Jester's memory, in the history he is familiar with, the first part of the "Ninja Dragon" of the pants off demon should be the first game CG, but it is no longer the same, in the previous arcade game, Jester made people make a similar game CG.

And,Recently, the pants demon is starting to set up their game development department,Jester also let the people of the Japanese branch to contact,In general, the two sides discussed well,The other party is still very grateful for the initiative invitation of Mars Entertainment,But this is also a Japanese company in the final analysis,According to Tamahide Yoshiro,Although they have the idea of cooperating with us,But obviously,They are still waiting for Nintendo's call。

In fact, Jester is not too worried about this, Nintendo does not pay much attention to those newly established game companies, in fact, it can't be said that now video games are in full swing, such as the Capcom boss back then saw so many companies become famous and rich overnight after the people who want to enter this industry to dig for gold.

In Japan, there are many new workshop-style game companies established every day, and most of them have no future, and even if Nintendo wants to pay attention to it, it can't take it seriously.

At this time, the phone on Jester's desk rang.

When I picked it up and listened to it, it was Tamahideyoshiro from the Japanese branch, Jester looked at the time, it was about night in Japan, and in the microphone, Tamahideyoshiro's tone revealed a hint of admiration, as if Jester had accomplished something great again.

"Boss, I really let you say it seriously, the new Japan Project has been inconvenient in terms of capital turnover recently, and the news that it is going to apply for bankruptcy protection has really come out." On the phone, Tamahide Yoshiro's tone was a few exclaimed.

This is one of the things that Jester asked Tamahideyoshiro to pay attention to more than a month ago, that is, to always pay attention to the recent situation of the company New Japan Planning, and if there is any trouble, he will immediately report it in a timely manner, and Tamahideyoshiro was a little unimpressed with this before.

But I didn't expect that it was only a little over a month, and it was really taken seriously by Jester, and the company was really in crisis.

Another name of the New Japan Project is called SNK, which is his abbreviation of Roman pinyin, the founder is Takado Yoshihiko, he has a deep grudge with the founder of Capcom, Kenzo Tsumimoto, but SNK developed much more smoothly than Kenzo Movemoto's Capcom at the beginning, before 80 years, SNK had several games on sale, and it attracted the general attention of players.

Unfortunately, in recent years, it has been extremely unsmooth, and several consecutive games have not sold well, so that the R&D funds invested cannot be recovered, and Yoshihiko Takado has also been forced by the board of directors.

Now there are two ways left in front of Takado Yoshihiko, use the company's only remaining liquidity to pay off the previous debts, and then let the company wait for death slowly, and the other way is to fight to the death, the big deal is that the new game will fail again, and then let the company die directly.

As the founder of the company, Yoshihiko Takado has a high prestige, but the other members of the board of directors cannot have no right to speak at all, and they also have the ability to confront Yoshihiko Takado.

In his heart, he is actually very optimistic about the new game they are preparing and developing, and he feels that this game called "Athena" has the ability to bring the company back to life.

However, now that the confrontation in the board of directors is deadlocked, Takado Yoshihiko does not have many better ways for the time being.

On the phone, Jester gave his instructions to Tamahideyoshiro.

"You go and contact Takado Yoshihiko immediately, he needs external support now, at this time, if your conditions are a little harsh, I think he will probably agree without hesitation."

Tamahideyoshiro is in Japan, and he has a more detailed understanding of the current situation of the New Japan Project than Jester, and he agrees with Jester's words, because the current New Japan Project is really the last friend of life and death.

Takado Yoshihiko was indeed very depressed now, sitting behind his boss's chair, he kept inhaling cigarette after cigarette in his mouth.

Although he is now angry with Kawasaki Hidekichi, the partner who co-founded the New Japan Project with him, is at odds with his own, the most difficult thing for her to accept is that Capcom, which was founded by Kenzo Mimoto, whom he had always looked down on, is in full swing.

I heard that their game models are selling well in North America, and they have been going downhill since the arcade machine of "Fury" became famous in '85, except for their own arcade game ported when they signed a cooperation agreement with Nintendo last year, which sold more than 500,000 copies, and the other development investments, basically all of them.

In the smoky office, Takado Yoshihiko was still thinking hard about how to deal with the upcoming board meeting, and he heard his insider say that this time his partner was ready to play the real thing, thinking of Kawasaki Hideyoshi, who had worked closely with him when he founded the New Japan Project, Takado Yoshihiko did not have the slightest nostalgia in his heart, but only boredom.

"What should I do?"

This is the only thing he has in mind at the moment, and it is also something he can't solve no matter what, and he wants to give up the new Japan project that he has worked so hard to create for so many years?

This is something that Yoshihiko Takado could not accept no matter what. (To be continued......) R752
