Although in this world, the road to somatosensory games is not so bumpy, but it is definitely not a smooth one.

Whether it's Mars Entertainment, Nintendo, or Sega, they have put a lot of thought into this, but all of them prove that the previous efforts have basically been in vain - at least in the eyes of some.

This is also the reason why many people are not optimistic about this new somatosensory of Mars Entertainment, and the previous somatosensory was all blown out of the sky before it came out, but what about the reality?

All of them are disappointing.

These people still look at the new sense of Mars Entertainment in this way, and there are even some people who are not shocking and die in dialects, and the next generation of consoles is the beginning of the decline of Mars Entertainment.

But Jester didn't care.

The only thing he has to do is the progress of the game and whether or not the game will satisfy him.

With the efforts of him and Shigeru Miyamoto, the quality of "Super Balotelli Galaxy" cannot have the slightest problem, this is the purest game, all his essence is in two words, that is, fun, the purest game, this is the most common phrase said by the members of the development team when this game was developed.

"Sir, may I ask how you can make a fun game that you often talk about?"

Li Kewen has been in the United States during this time, the interview process is very smooth, and with Jester's letter of recommendation from Carmack, he has also successfully become a freshman at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Of course, Li Kewen was originally going to prepare to return to China, after all, the cost of living in the United States is still very high, although Jester will provide it all, but this kind of unnecessary expense, Li Kewen still thinks it's better not to let the other party break the bank, but Jester suggested that he could be an intern in Mars Entertainment for a month. Get a taste of what it's like to live in real game development.

After much thought, he agreed to Jester's proposal.

Because it's really fascinating.

Moreover, the development team that Jester asked him to intern at was the time when he and Shigeru Miyamoto are now leading Super Balotelli Galaxy, one of the hottest games in the entire gaming industry, which is an opportunity that any young person who wants to pursue a career in the game industry cannot refuse.

somatosensory.

This is also the first time that Li Kewen has experienced the boiling word that has been passed down recently, the first thing he played was "Sports", that feeling was wonderful for him, he never thought that the game could do it to this extent, to this extent, when he played the "Super Balotelli Galaxy" that had been completed and still seemed a little rough, it seemed that his entire understanding of the game was completely subverted in this place.

Also, for the people in the development team, it is often said that it is fun.

At first it seems like a well-understood concept. But as time went on, he suddenly realized that he had to grasp exactly what was fun.

It's a very difficult thing to do.

So, Li Kewen found a time, just like this time, when Jester was playing Sega's latest fighting game alone in the lounge, he asked such a question.

"Is it fun?"

Jester smiled: "Actually, I've said it many times before, although the content is different each time, but the meaning to be expressed is almost the same. In fact, it is a very simple truth, what kind of game do you want to play? Screen out all other ideas, for example, a designer often considers, will players like this? Won't players hate doing this? These inconsequential thoughts. Just ask yourself, would you like this design? Did you find it interesting? ”

"In fact, fun games are very simple, because the most essential meaning of games is a kind of non-utilitarian activity of human beings, what kind of things can make human beings non-utilitarian. Why don't you be enthusiastic about it? It's fun, like, willing to ......"

"What kind of games do you like?"

Speaking of which. Jester asked Li Kewen rhetorically, and then Li Kewen was silent, because he didn't seem to have a clear idea of his favorite game, if he had to say it......

"Don't hesitate to say whatever comes to mind."

Jester encouraged him.

"Fun game."

Li Kewen said a very general concept, but Jester nodded.

"Actually, it's a fun game, but the concept of fun, for many people, especially for some players, they actually don't know what it means to be fun, and our designer's responsibility is to put the fun game into their hands, before the player plays the fun game, in fact, they don't know what fun is."

"Got it?"

Regarding Jester's answer, Li Kewen can only say that he seems to understand or not.

"A great game designer, he must love to play games, you love to play games, but why don't I see you play so often in this period of time? In this lounge you can play almost any game you want, and a designer who doesn't like to play games can't make fun games, that's for sure. ”

Jester finally added.

During this period of time, Sega's news has also become frequent, not only constantly announcing some news about their new console DC, but also announcing a lot of news about "Shenmue".

Even Yu Suzuki gave an exclusive interview to "FAMI Pass".

Obviously, the release of Mars Entertainment's somatosensory strategy still put a lot of pressure on Sega.

It's also strange to say, Sega's naming of the console is basically different every time, from MD to SS to the next generation of DC, there is no continuity at all, but Mars Entertainment and Sony's naming method is simple, just add a number directly to the back, from Dreambox1 to the future Dreambox4, and Sony is also from the PS1 that failed to cooperate with Nintendo to the PS3 that Ken Kutaragi has talked about several times not long ago.

In fact, the development style in the game industry is also changing.

Suzi and Monster Hunter were a huge success, and Jester's approach to hybrid game development is being borrowed by more and more people.

Then again, it's not like putting mapo tofu on top of a Bei-Beijing roast duck will turn it into a mix-and-match flavor.

Whether a dish is good or not depends on the chef's understanding of the ingredients, that is, the most essential things. (To be continued.) )
