It turned out to be a bullfrog.

After seeing the content of this report, and the introduction of this company called Bullfrog, I have to talk to the one who is thirty years old this year, called Pete. Molineux's name as the maker of the game, Jester knew he had picked up the treasure.

And it's a much better treasure than West Wood.

Peter. Molineux, a name that rings like thunder in the game world of the future, is almost as good as Sid, especially in the minds of PC gamers and PC game designers. Mel, Sid. Mel's greatness no longer needs to be narrated, and his greatness can be imagined.

As for this game, there is no suspense, it must be the "God is Crazy" that shocked the whole world.

This is an indescribable, but absolutely talented work, and from this work, it can be seen that Pete. Molineux thinks differently about the game system, and often a great artist is the one who has this kind of thinking circuit that is different from everyone else's.

In fact, the reason why Jester was able to know this made Pete. The reason why Molineux became famous in the game really has something to do with Ximutou, this is an interview he watched about a Ximutou before, and the host in it asked the founder of Ximutou, when you were making Zuò "Dune 2", how did you come up with the idea of making such a game as Zuò?

In fact, this question is also the reason why many players argued later, because the fans of Ximutou like to say that Ximutou's "Dune 2" has created a new game genre, although in this game genre, Ximutou is not the most successful game company, nor is it the game company that has made the greatest contribution to the success of this type of game, and even their RTS games are not the best RTS games. However, it is indisputable that they are the pioneers and initiators of the RTS genre.

It can even be said unceremoniously that without Dune 2, there would be no later Warcraft series, let alone the StarCraft series, which is known as the highest peak of RTS.

However, there are also many people who scoff at this statement, and they think that although the game genre "RTS" made by Nishiki is very great, at most, they have gathered a lot of ideas and creativity. And then these ideas were put together, and it evolved into this game type called real-time strategy, and it would be alarmist to say that there would be no real-time strategy without them, and even if there was no Nishikito, then the genre would have appeared a while later at most.

Because before that, many games have been giving many designers a lot of inspiration.

Later, this show specifically asked the people of Ximutou this question, and the people of Ximutou didn't care, and they even said with a smile. When they made Zuò Dune 2, they were really inspired by many games and came up with the idea of making this game into a real-time strategy game.

Under the reporter's repeated questioning, the people of Ximu did not hide it. Very generously admitted.

The first game they were affected by should not be called a game, but just an operating system, the world's first civilian graphics operating system on Apple's Macintosh computer. And the second game they were affected by was Sid. Mel's Civilization.

The third one, they're talking about, is Pete. "God is Crazy Too" by Molineux.

And according to this founder of Nishiki. It is also the main creator of "Dune 2" who answered these words and analyzes them, and it will be easy to find that the characteristics of these three games are the most primitive real-time strategy game "Dune 2".

At that time, Jester was just a person who was just interested in the history of games, the history of game companies, and the history of game developers, and he didn't even know who Carmack was at the time, so after watching this video by Nishiki, he followed the three things that were temporarily called games mentioned by Nishiki's designer.

Then I learned about Sid. Mel and Pete. What kind of person is Molineux?

And for Claudia's release plan for this game called "God is Crazy" mentioned in this report, of course, I unconditionally agree, even though this is only a PC game, and even Jester has specially followed the trend and issued an order, that is, to allocate more promotional resources to this game.

You must know that Jester is rarely directly involved in the publicity and distribution work of popular releases under normal circumstances.

The release plan of each game has discussions and notes, and it is also difficult for Jester to release this requirement for popularity, because the distribution channels and resources are certain, and if you want to occupy a little more, then you have to deduct it from other places, but the games that have been allocated before are naturally dissatisfied.

Although no one dares to express dissatisfaction with Jester's OSS, Jester knows the place of the game "God is Crazy" in the history of the game, and knows that this game will inevitably be enthusiastically followed, and will even be regarded as the bible by many designers, but others don't know.

What they see is just Jester using power for personal gain, and this game is the work of a small game studio that their boss's woman has obstinately acquired, and after such a premise, they will think so, this must be their OSS using power for personal gain.

Jester didn't think of this at first, and the popular distribution side didn't want to complain to Jester because of such a trivial matter, but Claudia was familiar with the distribution regulations of popular publishing, and when he heard Jester tell her that he was going to increase the distribution and promotion of "God is Crazy", he directly told Jester the above words.

And Jester himself doesn't want to destroy such a system, because if he takes the lead in sabotaging, then which group of high-level people in the future, who wants to use this as an excuse to use power for personal gain, then he himself can't say anything, after all, he himself is not doing right, how to condemn others.

As the saying goes, but those who are flawless can kill people.

Therefore, Jester immediately gave Fengxing a phone call again, explaining that they did not need to prepare special channel resources for "God is Crazy", but directly extracted a little from the promotional resources of his game "Thor's Hammer" and used it on "God is also crazy".

Because for the game "Quake", there is no need to pile up too many resources to publicize, because there is no need for publicity, he is known to all players, and those media, who do not need special benefits, will take the initiative to rush to report the news about this game.

Therefore, some small publicity methods can have too little effect on this game.

But that's not the case with God is crazy too.

European hairstyle Jester doesn't need to worry about it, because that's Claudia's responsibility, presumably according to her character, she must be pushing the game she is optimistic about, and in North America, such a PC game developed by a nobody, if it is not hyped up, who knows what kind of game it is? Who knows what company Bullfrog is and who knows Pete. Who is Molineux?

It's not that the word-of-mouth effect that Yamauchi said has no effect on this game, but just like he said, "Final Fantasy", which originally brought Square Enix back to life in history, sold 500,000 copies by word of mouth, but if it can get as many promotional resources as "Dragon Quest", maybe the first game of "Final Fantasy" will also be a million-level, one-million-level, or even two-million-level game.

And Jester took the initiative to take out promotional resources from his game to promote this game, which is a manifestation of leading by example, if someone wants to learn from him in the future, and also wants to let xxx improve publicity resources, then the popular distribution does not want to offend the other party because of this trivial matter, and there is a saying, even OSS takes out resources from their own channels for other games, you want to get resources for nothing?

In this way, no one will dare to abuse power for personal gain.

Although Jester knew that maybe he wouldn't do it as well as he thought, it was better to do it himself than not to do it.

After the carnival, before the end of the year, the two most important things for Mars Entertainment are the official release of "Quake" and the release of "Pokemon" during New Year's Day.

Because "Pokemon" is a game on the gameboy, because the "Pokemon" announced by Jester has also made many players who have not bought the gameboy buy one after another, and in a short period of time, there was a gameboy sales peak on the market.

The good news about Gameboy is not only that, in a recent survey conducted by ABC, when many parents and children were asked about the most awaited Christmas gifts, Gameboy topped the list, even much higher than Dreambox, which had been at the top of the list for the previous two years.

As for the Transformers toys that are in third place, in terms of proportion, they are far from the first two. (To be continued......)
