That's why Jester dared to make such a big change to Monster Hunter.

In fact, this is a very special type of action game, and with a very excavating collectible element, it is not difficult to make a game like this if you understand these two points.

The difficulty is how to make a stunning action game ~ feeling.

Jester remembered that before he crossed, there was a game in China, called "The Legend of the Heavenly Demon", which was very publicized at that time, and it was just when the domestic game was somewhat recovering, and the "Legend of the Heroes" that had just been released before, although it was a reset work, but with feelings and conscience, it also sold hundreds of thousands of copies.

At that time, this "Legend of the Heavenly Demon Descending" was known as China-China Devil May Cry, but I just watched the video demonstration released, and I thought it was pretty good.

However, this production team may be a little too ambitious, and before the release, there are many people who are full of expectations for this game, and they have turned into wait-and-see, and even hate and disgust, especially the whole network, the official explanation is anti-piracy, but to be honest, domestic cracking websites generally won't crack domestic games, although there are also factors to protect domestic games, but more, it's because it's cracked in China, and it's going to be sued, and cracking the website doesn't want to cause trouble.

This game Jester played.

The conclusion is that the heart is big, but the ability is not as big as the heart.

There are only two evaluations of the genre of action games, excellent and very bad, and the quality of this kind of game is all in the hand ~ feeling of fighting, and what can be done well is a god, and if it is not done well, no matter how good it is done in other places, it is also garbage.

"The Legend of the Heavenly Demon Descent" is obviously not a game that can make Hideki Kamiya, Itagaki Companion Letter's hand ~ feeling.

And for the ship mother, this house game. Jester has some ideas, the general lottery nature of the construction and fishing is still the same as the original, such randomness can greatly improve the playability of the game, I have to say, Blizzard's biggest contribution to the game is this, before Diablo, no one thought that the original small randomness, would be able to expand the maximum playability.

So, Jester is seeing some people say that Blizzard is not a first in the gaming industry. I only know that when I plagiarize someone else's idea, I laugh it off.

However, there are some differences with the original ship girl, or the mobile game battleship girl that was later copied in China.

Jester decided to do this kind of femininization from the time of the Sail Battleship.

Many sail warships actually have a great reputation, and there are a lot of people who like them.

For example, the famous Victory, in Trafalgar, in that legendary naval battle, the soul of the Royal Navy, Horatio. Sir Nelson was based on this legendary battleship, in the warship. The tonnage and the number of guns were at a disadvantage, and they successfully seized the upper hand and took the lead in sending out the T-shaped prefix. Thus defeating the Franco-Spanish coalition army in one fell swoop, thwarting Napoleon's arrogance, and laying the foundation for the complete defeat of Napoleon at sea, and. It also opened a period of hegemony for the British Empire that lasted for 150 years.

It can be said that Nelson, and his ship, are themselves symbols of British sea power.

Even up to the point in time when Jester crossed. Nelson's legendary ship is still in Portsmouth, the Royal Navy port of England, for visitors to see what it used to be.

Therefore, when later generations of British people selected the person who made the greatest contribution to Britain in their minds, Horatio . Nelson was in first place, and in second place was Isaac, the greatest scientist since the birth of the earth, who was called 'nature and the laws of nature hidden in darkness, and God said, let Newton go, and the world was a light'. Sir Newton.

There are many legends about Nelson and Trafalgar, except for the story that Nelson was unfortunately killed by a stray bullet in the battle, and the British put his body in a rum barrel in order to be able to bring it back to China, and the more famous is his most famous quote through the semaphore before the war in Trafalgar.

"England expects every man to do his duty!"

At Trafalgar, before the Royal Navy engaged the Franco-Spanish forces, General Nelson had given all the necessary orders to the ships under his command on his flagship.

However, knowing that the battle was a decisive one, and that more should be done, he gave orders to his communications officer, Lieutenant Pascoe, to send the signal as soon as possible that "England believes that every man is doing his duty."

Pascoe suggested to Nelson that the word "expects" be used instead of "believe," as the former is found in the flag booklet, while the word trust needs to be spelled alphabetically. Nelson agreed to the change, albeit with a lack of confidence in the hope of comparing beliefs, and so, at 11:45 a.m. on October 21, 1805, the Victory sent the most famous naval signal in British history, and probably in the entire history of naval warfare in the world.

This signal uses a numerical code designed by Sir Popham.

This code designation assigns each of the ten signal flags from 0 to 9. The numeric designations represented by these flags were combined according to the flag book and distributed to all Royal Navy ships. These numerical codes would be raised on the backmast, one after the other, and the "telegraph-flag" would be raised to indicate that it was a signal designed by Popham.

The word "duty" is not included in the flag manual, so it needs to be spelled out, so the entire signal requires twelve lifts.

It is believed that this action takes four minutes. A squad of about four to six men, led by Pascoe, prepared to hoist those signal flags on Nelson's flagship, the battleship Victory.

Before a British cannon could be fired at the enemy, Nelson gave his final signal, "Engage the enemy closer", represented by the signal flags 1 and 6, which Nelson ordered to be flown continuously. The signal flag is hoisted throughout the campaign until the end of the campaign. As a sign of respect for Nelson, this signal is reserved in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization as a tactical signal for coalition forces, although the signal itself has no effect in modern naval warfare.

Later famous generals also paid tribute to Nelson's famous quote.

Even his enemy, Napoleon, translated it into French - France expects every man to do his duty! And it is displayed on the French warship, but the most famous imitation of Nelson's famous sentence should probably belong to the legendary god of war of the Japanese Navy, Togo Heihachi, who 'bowed his head and worshiped the sun all his life'.

In the Battle of Tsushima, Togo Heihachi also faced the Russian navy, which was stronger than him in terms of tonnage and caliber. At the suggestion of his operational staff officer, Mayuki Akiyama, he issued the famous copycat Horatio. Sir Nelson's famous signal that 'England expects every man to do his duty' - today the sky is clear, the wind is high and the waves are urgent, the sea soldiers are exposed, and the royal kingdom is in ruins.

The end result is also well known. The Japanese crushed Russia in one fell swoop this time.

In addition to such a legendary Victory, there is also a sail battleship that is also very legendary, this battleship does not have such a legendary record as the Victory, and its combat effectiveness is not strong in history, but this sail battleship is a witness of a naval power from scratch, from there to strong, from strong to invincible in the world.

This is the USS Constitution of the US Navy.

This is not a big ship, according to England's classification of warships. In the Sail Age, he was at best a destroyer, although he fought more than 40 times and won all of them. But there were no naval battles that were too worthy of a big deal to write about.

The most special thing about him is that as an old ship that has been built for more than 200 years, he is still in active service.

Moreover, the US Navy once claimed. The USS Constitution will never be retired, because it is the symbol of the U.S. Navy, in the active service of the world's navies. Sail warships are not uncommon, as training ships, sail training ships are very useful and cheap, but a sail warship that has been in service for two hundred years, the Constitution is unique.

Jester remembers seeing a video like this.

It was a naval parade held by the U.S. Navy to celebrate their Army Day, and a very classic scene appeared at that time, which made countless warship enthusiasts inexplicably excited.

At that time, the sail gunboat USS Constitution, the Iowa-class battleship USS Missouri, and the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Nimitz, three warships representing the era of three warships, marched in parallel in parallel formations, and suddenly there was a feeling and emotion that what was being seen in front of us was a living history.

Of course, in addition to these two, there are many famous sail warships in history.

And,The selling point of this kind of game is not a battleship.,It's a collection and a vertical painting.,For the vertical painting of this game,Jester thought for a while.,Although the team in his company, the son of Mars, is extremely high.,But after all, it's not this kind of vertical painting.,It may not be skilled.,It's better to go directly to Japan to find a painter who paints H comics.。

This level of vertical drawing does not need to be too high, and the level of ordinary manga artists can do it, but the manga industry in Japan is so advanced that it is not difficult to find an artist.

But Jester still has some emotion.,Now the domestic atmosphere is still a little conservative.,If you wait for more than ten or twenty years.,When you're doing such a game.,It's not necessary for Japan to find a special painter to paint.,A lot of domestic painters who are not famous.,The level of painting this style of vertical painting is very high.,For example, the battleship girl.,Although their vertical painting level is a little worse than that of the ship girl.。

But overall, it's still on the level.

However, Jester just made a rough plan for the game on paper.

It's unlikely that he'll be making this game himself anytime soon.

And it's not the future generations.,The sales of such a game won't be too high.,It's a niche.,But although it's a niche game.,Jester has also done the same otaku niche "CLANNAD" before.,It's also a lot of supporters.,Although the house direction of the ship girl is slightly different from the house direction of "CLANNAD",But the cultivation elements are still there.。

So, Jester doesn't have any expectations for the game's sales.

However, at his level, what kind of game to develop depends on his own thoughts and moods, and he doesn't care much about how to develop and what type of game to develop.

Of course, sales don't care either.

Putting away the game plan that had been written for a few pages, Jester began to calm down and read the recent documents on the promotion of Dreambox3, it can be said that this time the publicity offensive of Dreambox3 is completely not inferior to Sony's promotional advertising campaign in the promotion of PS2 a year ago, and in view of the fact that there is a big gap between Sony's planning in terms of publicity.

This time, Mars Entertainment also did a lot of learning from Sony's promotional methods a year ago.

In fact, the most important thing is to be willing to spend money.

This is the characteristics of Sony a year ago and Mars Entertainment now, but Mars Entertainment needs to spend more money to achieve the same effect as last year's Sony, for no other reason, just because they are competitors now, Sony and Sega can't watch you swagger and promote on their heads, they will definitely snipe.

For example, competing with Mars Entertainment for prime-time TV commercials.

As a result, Jester would have to come up with more money to be able to get the same level of TV advertising as last year's Sony, and in other respects as well.

This also made Mars Entertainment's publicity budget spend very quickly, the originally planned publicity budget of 200 million US dollars took more time than the estimated time in the budget, and as a last resort, Mars Entertainment supplemented the publicity budget several times.

However, Sony's methods with Sega are just some small roads, and they can't stop the more and more hot feedback on the market about Dreambox3, which is much hotter than before PS2 and Sega Saturn were launched, which can also be seen that in the North American market, Mars Entertainment is much stronger than Sony and Sega.

Whether it's a forum on the Internet, an interview in real life, or a survey conducted in a magazine.

Never before has the support for the Dreambox 3 be a 70 percent win for this generation, and now the PS2 has sold more than 5 million units, and the Sega Saturn has sold a full 6 million units! And Dreambox 3 was released a full year later than them! In such a situation, there is such a support rate, which is simply incredible.

But no matter what.

These are all fake, and we won't know until after the actual sale. (To be continued......)
