Chapter 401: Discussion
As North America, or the world's largest circulation game publication, the level of their reporters is naturally not low, but when he heard this member of the "Civilization" development team say this, he immediately thought of what this member said before. Mel just got from Jester. Lee came back with this crucial piece of information.
"You mean to say, Jester. Mr. Li, in addition to the seething new SRPG that was hyped before, there is another brand new game? The reporter's face immediately showed an excited look, and he immediately asked the question with some eagerness, but the interviewee just shrugged his shoulders and replied with a strange smile.
"No, no, no, I didn't say, it would be Jester. Mr. Lee's new game, I'm just saying that we're about to start making a new game, and this game will be unprecedented. ”
Although he didn't get what he wanted the most, the reporter of "GAME" still heard the meaning of the other party's mouth, but this was enough, originally he thought it was just a routine to interview the development team of "Civilization", which is also the normal work of the magazine after receiving the promotion fee of Mars Entertainment, plus the quality of this game is outstanding, in the pre-release evaluation, the rating of this game is almost full score, so he is also very excited to do this work, after all, "Civilization" D development team members, They don't give interviews during development, but there are a lot of people who are interested in their development process.
But to his surprise, not only did the interview work go very smoothly this time, but the people in the "Civilization" development team were also very talkative and enthusiastic, and they said a lot of interesting things that made people smile, and more importantly, he also dug up a big news from it, which was far more important than interviewing the "Civilization" development team.
That is, Jester. Lee's Hidden Deepest Second New Game!
Although "GAME" magazine also belongs to Jester, except for helping the other party with some ideas for the development of "GAME" magazine in the early days of "GAME" magazine, Jester has never asked anything about the management of the magazine in the following time.
So, when the reporter sent the news back to his boss at the headquarters of GAME magazine, his boss also thought it was a big news, so he directly checked it and asked the reporter to continue digging. What exactly is Lee's brand new game, and does it have anything to do with the SRPG mentioned earlier?
When the latest issue of GAME was published a few days later, it immediately caused a sensation.
Because they officially announced the news in this report, although the results of their in-depth digging were not so satisfactory, they still dug a lot of things from the mouths of these members of the "Civilization" development team, and after some comparison and exclusion, they got two certain conclusions.
One of them is that this game will not be the SRPG game mentioned before, and even between the two, there is no connection in the slightest, if you have to connect the two, then there is only one, and the makers of these two games are Jester. Plum.
And the second one, as several members of the "Civilization" development team said in unison, the genre of this game will be very new, even novel, this is a game that has not appeared before, just like the so-called FPS that Jester said when he was promoting "Quake".
In addition, there is a less certain speculation, that is, if the SRPG game is real, it can be seen from the fact that the development of the SRPG game Jester has to transfer personnel from the Japanese development team, and this new type of game will have a lot to do with the development tasks that the previous "Civilization" development team was engaged in.
Because the person from Japan is Matsuno Yasuyo, as we all know, the best SRPG game after "Fire Emblem" is Matsuno Yasuyo's "Royal Knights", although Matsuno Yasuyo's "Royal Knights" is not so authentic, because in this game, he does not put more content in "Fire Emblem" like Jester in RPG.
However, for now, when it comes to the development of SRPGs, Matsuno is the most experienced in the genre with his team.
And as for the unprecedented team like Jester who originally developed Fire Emblem, which included almost the entire elite development team of Mars Entertainment, it may never be possible to appear at once.
Therefore, judging from this point, the development direction of this new game, which is said to be unprecedented, must have a lot to do with the previous development efforts of the "Civilization" development team.
And what was the previous development experience of the Civilization development team?
At the end of the article, "GAME" did not give a definite conclusion, but players will not let go of such a rare opportunity to have a variety of brain-opening discussions, and some people say that Jester has started two games at the same time, one is "Thor's Hammer" on PC, and the other is "Pokemon" on GAMEBOY.
Both games are milestones for their respective platforms in every way.
It's like "Quake" on the PC, which makes players who were only able to hang their heads in front of console players before, and are embarrassed to say that they also like to play games, can talk a few words in front of their console party friends: "By the way, have you played "Quake" recently?" I tell you, this game is a hit, and the fact that the first PC game to sell more than 1 million units speaks volumes more fully about the success and legend of this game.
And the game "Pokemon" is more instructive, just like Jester said, after the game experience of fragmented time, there was GAMEBOY, before, Jester said more than once, the development of GAMEBOY games, pay attention to the use of fragmented time, and what is fragmented time? Quite simply, players can pick it up and play at any time and anywhere, stop it temporarily no matter how long they play, and continue to play when they want to continue playing.
But having said that, in the absence of a corresponding game as a reference, it is still very difficult to deeply understand Jester's theory of fragmented games, and to design games based on it.
AFTER THAT, THE PORTED VERSION OF THE GAMEBOY VERSION OF JESTER'S FAMOUS WORK BECAME POPULAR, AND MANY PEOPLE UNDERSTOOD WHAT A FRAGMENTED GAME WAS, BUT THESE WERE NOT ENOUGH, AND IT WAS IN THIS SITUATION THAT JESTER'S "POKEMON" CAME OUT.
It is in this game that Jester once again explains what is called fragmented game time and fragmented games.
It can be said that this is a game with high reference value and reference significance in the GAMEBOY game or portable console game, and it can even be said that in the game development of portable consoles, everyone was exploring a path before "Pokemon".
However, after Pokemon, everyone saw the broadest truth.
And the reason why players are bringing this out again is that the last time I didn't take "Quake" and "Pokemon" as the producers of two and two games at the same time was short, it was about four years ago, at that time, it happened to be recognized as Jester. Lee's creative inspiration is the most, and almost all of the first masterpieces in the history of the game were produced during that period.
And now at this time, Jester has started to work as a producer of two games at the same time, does it mean that his inspiration for making zuò has begun to blow out again?
That's what excites players the most.
If there's anything more exciting for video gamers than being able to play a fun game, it's probably playing a lot of fun games, so the idea that Jester will be inspired to produce a lot of games in a short period of time has become a lot of noise in the world.
It was Jester himself who let the people in the "Civilization" development team quietly leak the development of the new game, and his purpose was to hype up the atmosphere before the game was developed, but he didn't expect that it would eventually evolve like this.
Jester was in a recent interview about this statement, and when asked about it, Jester was ambiguous.
"Actually, that's not accurate."
First of all, Jester first denied the previous statement, but soon, his voice changed: "However, I can state that the so-called inspiration explosion is unreasonable, this time I do have a lot of game ideas, but these games are not in a short period of time, but the accumulation of these four or five years, a lot of inspiration was there a long time ago, but due to technical or hardware limitations, it could not be completed at that time." ”
"It's like the two games that I plan to develop at the same time, it's not like the design idea can be completed with a pat on the head in a short period of time, the development of the game is far from being as simple as you think."
As soon as Jester finished speaking, the interviewer immediately pressed on.
"Can you tell us about your new game?" R1152
