Jester heard an interesting story at Populare Entertainment, which he hadn't been to in a long time.

Recently, one of their departments that accepts letters from outside third parties received a very special package, which, if nothing else, was just a very simple package with the designer's name, address, and the game they were delivering.

Jester knows that there are actually a lot of hidden and talented designers in the United States, and there is no such sound video game talent selection mechanism in the United States as in Japan, so in order to find the benevolence of these hidden folk enthusiasts, the other party launched this department, which is dedicated to accepting contributions from these people, and if the game is really good, then he will buy it out and give it a share.

So far, in addition to the card god that has long been incorporated by Jester, there have been four personal zuò games released by the popular game publishing company, and the largest one has sold nearly 100,000 copies, and these people have also accepted Jester's invitation to join Mars Entertainment.

But this time the contribution is a little special.,According to the review opinions of the review department,This game is pretty good.,It stands to reason that it doesn't meet the conditions for release.,But they hesitated to think that it's because the game called "Crazy Skiing" was made.,It's just two middle school students who have just entered middle school.。

"Two twelve or thirteen-year-olds?"

Jester was also quite surprised when he heard the news, he didn't think it was incredible that such a young child could make a great game, after all, there was an example of a card god first, but he thought why such a genius always hit himself on the pole.

So, Jester decided to see what the two twelve-year-olds' games had to offer.

Then make your own decision.

Originally, the opinion of the receiving department could be used to cooperate with these two children in the next step, but it needed the approval of the higher department.

It just so happened that Jester came to the company today, so this matter was reported to him, after all, in terms of whether a game has potential, there should be no second Jester in the whole world who has the ability.

The game runs on an Apple II computer. Thinking about it, it is impossible for independent designers in this era to buy expensive development machines to develop games on home game consoles, and even if they do, it is difficult to get the opportunity to release them, but to develop them on popular personal computers such as Apple II, which is very popular and favored by these young first-generation developers.

Of course, popular game publishing companies don't just release Mars Entertainment's home console games, they also sell PC games.

Jester plugged the floppy disk into an Apple computer and started playing the game.

Half an hour later, Jester was off the keyboard, and the computer screen was still flashing with the slightly cartoonish game called Skiing Madness. And there was a hint of a smile on Jester's face.

He picked up the phone and said simply, "Send me the information of these two developers." ”

In fact, when he saw that the two middle school students who were only twelve or thirteen years old on the information actually claimed that they had a store called Jam Software, Jester immediately realized that he seemed to have found a treasure - sure enough, when he saw the names of these two people, he was even more sure that he had really picked up a treasure.

Jason. Robin and Andy. Gavin. These are the names of these two twelve-year-old middle school students, and their other identities are the founders of the future naughty dog that Jester remembers.

Jester, a game called Skiing Madness, really hadn't heard of it. He didn't know if these two people had ever made such a game in their original history, but after Jester tried it, he saw the talent of these two young people in this game, although only in terms of games. This can only be said to be a game that barely meets the passing reviews.

Therefore, the previous evaluation of the company that it could not be issued is also very reasonable.

However, considering that these are only two young people, if it is up to Jester to decide. He would give these two men a chance, not because he knew how great their future achievements were, but because he really saw their talent in this still somewhat crude game, which was made by two twelve-year-old children, and they did it even better than the adults.

Jester personally dialed the contact number left in the package.

Answering the phone in the voice of a mature man when he heard Jester say that he was looking for Jason who made the jam software that made "Crazy Skiing". Robin and Andy. Mr. Gavin's time was immediately heard from the other side of the phone, and within a minute, a childish voice that could easily be identified as a child came through the phone.

"Y- Hello, I'm Andy, Andy. Gavin! ”

From the child's voice, Jester could clearly hear a hint of anticipation in the excitement.

"Hello, Andy, I'm Jester from Popularness Games. Li ...... "Jester thought it would be better to introduce himself first, but as soon as he finished saying his name, he could hear a distinct cheer from the other end of the phone, and there was an incredible smell in his voice. Gavin continued to scream.

Jester could be heard faintly by hearing Andy on the phone. Gavin's voice seemed to be shouting at his father, "Daddy, Daddy, it's Jester. Lee's phone! It's Jester. Lee's phone! ”

Nearly a minute passed, Andy. Gavin seemed to remember that there was someone on the other end of the phone, and he hurriedly shouted eagerly into the phone microphone, "Lee, Lee, are you still there?" I'm a fan of yours! I've played every single one of your games! ”

Naturally, Jester wouldn't hang up the phone when he heard Andy. Gavin's words, he just smiled and said: "Thank you, thank you for your support, but I didn't call you today to know that you are my fan, although this excites me, I just want to tell you that your "Crazy Skiing" is very good, I think you two are very talented in designing games, so if you can, can I invite you to come to California once, to the headquarters of Mars Entertainment, I want to talk to you carefully and seriously......"

This time it was the same as the last time, and before Jester could finish speaking, Andy came from the other end of the phone again. Gavin's exclamation, his tone this time was even more shocked and incredible than before, "Is it true?" Can I go to the headquarters of Mars Entertainment? I can meet Mark. Saini? I can see Sid. Mel? Can I see you? ”

Jester didn't hesitate to say yes, yes.

There are a lot of things that can't be talked about on the phone, so Jester didn't talk to Andy on the phone. Gavin talks too much about their games, and obviously, Andy. Gavin was also interested in their game, but it seemed that this interest was far from keeping up with his interest in his idol, and he kept dragging Jester to ask questions about some of the problems he encountered in the game, and some of them even some interesting bugs.

But Jester is not interested in Andy. Gavin found the so-called game bugs, just smiled and said: "Gavin, in fact, these problems will be clear when you come to our company, some talented designers like to reflect their understanding of the game in the game, some programmers are the same, they will sign some programs, and how will the game's programmer add his own mark to the game he wrote to indicate that I wrote something I wrote?" They will deliberately leave some interesting bugs in the game that do not affect the game, these bugs are strange, and everything is ......"

The phone conversation lasted for a long time, and in the end, Jester hung up the phone on the grounds that he needed to leave urgently.

And the moment Jester hung up, Andy. Gavin still had that look of utter surprise on his face, and it took him a minute or two to recover from it, and then he tossed the phone receiver he was clutching tightly to the side, and then he jumped up and screamed as he went, his face full of undisguised excitement.

I've been venting my feelings like crazy for a few minutes, Andy. Gavin seemed to remember that he still had something to do, and then he slapped his head, "Oops! Forgot to inform Jason! ”

While yelling like this, he hurriedly picked up the telephone receiver he threw out from the ground and broadcast a phone number.

Maybe it's because I slept too crooked last night, and the voice on the other end of the phone was still a little sleepy.

"Andy, what's the matter with your phone call - didn't I tell you that I had to stay up late yesterday to solve a technical problem...... What the! "I must have heard some extremely key words on the phone, and I was still worried about the sleepy-eyed Jason. Robin's eyes widened immediately, but his eyes were full of disbelief, "You said that Jester was just now. Lee, the greatest game designer in the world, my only idol called you and asked us to visit Mars Entertainment, and besides, you talked to my idol for an hour and couldn't even shout over! ”

Finally, Jason. Robin's tone was unkind.

It can be seen from his almost hysterical roar that he is in a rather bad mood at this time. (To be continued......) R1292
