Chapter 58: Making the Best Game (Asking for Recommendation Votes!!) )
Seven fifty.
Jester walked out of the convention center and came to the players who were already waiting outside.
Many people had already seen Jester look on the previous TV show, so the moment he appeared, there was immediately a burst of cheers in the crowd of players.
"Jester!" "Jester!" "Jester!" The shouts also continued to reach Jester's ears, which also moved him quite a lot.
He took the microphone and bowed before speaking to everyone after the cheers of the crowd.
"We have been accused of being unjust, fabricated, and distorted in the past, and we are very grateful to have you supporting us in our most difficult times."
Jester's tone was very sincere, and when he heard Jester's words of thanks, players from all over the United States were also quite moved.
"The time is almost up, I don't want to talk too much nonsense, you and I don't want to listen to it, you just want to go in and play the game that I blow to the sky is not so good, I can assure everyone that the purpose of our Mars entertainment is to make the best game!"
After finishing speaking, Jester bowed deeply again, then straightened up, and announced loudly in everyone's expectation: "Mars Entertainment's first trial meeting has officially begun!" ”
Jester stepped aside, and all the players cheered loudly.
Under the organization of the on-site security personnel, everyone lined up and entered the venue in an orderly manner, because the space in the rented convention and exhibition center was limited, so it could only fit about 500 people at a time, and there were 300 arcade machines of "Bejeweled", "Zuma", "Bubble Dragon", and two "Snowman Brothers" "handmade customized version" arcade machines.
As soon as players entered, they were immediately attracted to the game, especially the slightly weird arcade shape of Bejeweled, and the arcade machine without joysticks, which was the first time for these players.
That's why the most players gathered in front of Bejeweled at the beginning.
And the quality of this game lives up to expectations, and every player who plays it keeps exclaiming that they really have played a game that is no worse than "American Cubes"!
Jester didn't brag before!
The other two games are also loved by players, and players who come into contact with them for the first time are deeply addicted to the ingenuity of the level design of "Zuma" and "Bubble Dragon", even when the two are fighting against each other, there are constantly sounds of exclamation.
Hardly a single player is dissatisfied with the game, and everyone is praising it, and they are all immersed in the fun of video games.
When a player discovered the "Snowman Brothers", he was instantly detonated by the gorgeous pictures on it, the cute Snowman Brothers' shape, the special way to pass the level, and the refreshing, never-before-experienced fast clearance experience, which instantly detonated the audience, just in a short period of time, behind the player who played the Snowman Brothers, a large circle of curious players was surrounded.
"What kind of game is this?"
"Didn't you say that there were only three games in this trial? How can there be four! ”
Almost in an instant, this game called "Frost Brothers" became the biggest question of players entering the scene, and it also became the biggest focus of the audience.
Then, some Mars Entertainment fans who still remembered what Jester said suddenly woke up, and it seems that Jester said that they will gradually announce the two 'epoch-making' games they are working on during the trial process.
Looking at the fun and explosive "Snowman Brothers" in front of me, all players were also scratched by the two epoch-making games that Jester said about hit the G-spot.
They also wanted to try out how fun this so-called epoch-making game really was.
However, seeing the long queue of people, many players who felt that they had no hope of playing before leaving the game had to play the other three games.
"These three games are also very fun!" They can only comfort themselves like this.
The trial will give each player a limited amount of time to try the game, 500 people each time, 30 minutes at a time, after 30 minutes, no matter what the reason, you need to leave the game, and then the next batch will continue to play, which is also a helpless thing. And each player can't occupy a machine for too long, each machine qì, each player can play up to three times in a row, more than three times, if you don't take the initiative to give up the machine, then there will naturally be staff to enforce it.
In fact, there is no need for staff to participate at all, and the players waiting to play in the back are enough to let those who have always wanted to occupy the machine know what it means to not follow the rules.
As groups of players came in and out, Jester saw that almost all the players were full of praise for these three or four games, and he also completely put his heart on the ground, not because of the previous gamble, that gamble was a joke to him before, and he didn't pay attention to it himself.
Rather, seeing the smiles on the faces of these players after getting happy from video games, he felt that he had not taken the wrong path.
As long as human beings still have emotions and can still enjoy joys and sorrows, then video games, like movies, cannot be eliminated, and those who do not see this, but only rely on the collapse of Atari and the resistance of players to the Atari console, and wishful thinking that video games are dead, will never understand the true meaning of video games.
In Jester's eyes, video games are more than just a tool for him to make money.
It's his dream, and he really wants to make the best game for his players.
Adam Edgar stood with Jester, and also saw the hot scene of the trial in the hall below, and even many players who had already played once went out and went out to re-queue despite the crowd, trying to re-enter and play again, and this is not uncommon.
To be precise, the majority, the players are fanatical, and it's not derogatory at all.
When the people waiting outside asked the players who had already tried it out once and asked what the game was like.
These people describe in almost the most uncanny tone: "The four games inside are the best in the world!" ”
"Fun than American Cubes?" Some people ask.
A player who had already played "Frost Brothers" immediately replied without hesitation: "I dare not say that the other three games are definitely more fun than "American Cubes", but "Snowman Brothers" must be the most fun!" That's a game that doesn't belong to Earth! ”
His words also made the other players who had just come out of the demo hall agree.
However, it is more of a question for players who have not yet entered the demo lobby, "Snowman Brothers, what is that?" How come I don't remember? Isn't there only three games in this trial meeting: "Bejeweled", "Zuma", and "Bubble Bobble"? ”
The players who came out of the demo lobby weren't very familiar with Yeti Brothers, and they could only say in a guessing tone, "Once you've gone in and played this game, you'll know how great this game is!" All I can say is that this is a static game, and there are a total of 25 levels in the demo version, and I can even tell you now, even if it is these 25 levels, it is a hundred times more fun than Nintendo's "Donkey Kong" of the same type! ”
"A hundred times more fun than Donkey Kong?"
This sentence once again aroused the enthusiasm of players, most of them have played Nintendo's "Donkey Kong", naturally know how fun this game is, and even many people have played this game for three years, but now they can still find countless happiness when they play.
And this game called "Snowman Brothers" is a hundred times more fun than "Donkey Kong"?
How is this possible?
"Looks like our game is going crazy again this time." Adam Edgar looked at the heat of the scene, was silent for a while, and then said with some admiration.
He knew that all four games were designed by Jester alone.
Jester smiled disapprovingly, for he was just copying a few games that were bound to succeed in history, and he wasn't going to be proud of it, because it was just something he copied.
Would you be proud of what you copied?
The others didn't know about Jester, but Jester wouldn't anyway.
Now, Jester didn't want to go on on the subject, and he asked Adam Edgar, "How did you talk to Sid Meier?" ”
"He's a genius." "After the acquisition, he talked to me a lot, including a game that he had been working on for years, and he had done a lot of preparation for it, and I just saw a bookshelf full of materials. ”
"What game?" Although he had a little guess of his own, Jester still asked curiously.
"It's a game that simulates the progress of human civilization, and in Sid Meier's portrayal, it's so magnificent that I can't even imagine what a masterpiece this game will be like when it's actually finished." Adam Edgar's tone even became a little agitated, "Really, I really want to play the game he depicted, because just by sounding excited." ”
Sure enough, it's civilization!
Jester heard Adam Edgar and knew what Sid Meier's dream game was, but it was too early to make this game, because if you want to make Civilization, it is impossible for the current machine to complete that kind of simulation.
Sid Mayer knows this, too.
Looking at the various media that were filming the grand occasion of this trial meeting, Jester suddenly had some inexplicable excitement.
Among the media that attacked him before, even ABC, which knew that he was not cheating on the tape, did not come out to support him positively, and even like other media, for the sake of ratings, they invited various experts to analyze how the current video game market is not conducive to investors' investment, and continued to pull out countless video game manufacturers who went out of business with the impact of Atari to prove how correct their views are.
And then say their conclusions, who still invests in video games now who is stupid X.
These people don't see that the video game market, which has become a backwater with the popularity of American Cubes, is gradually recovering, and they don't see the shoddy Atari production that players resist, but they don't really die to video games.
It's just that there are no fun games.
One of the most popular words in Jester's title lately is arrogance, and almost all the media have bombarded him as an extremely arrogant, unaware of the sky, and reckless as soon as he has achieved a little success.
said that his investment in the home console game market would definitely fail, and he was destined to lose all his money.
This made him unbearable some time ago, but he couldn't show even the slightest discouragement, because he was the backbone of the entire Mars entertainment, and everyone was looking at him and watching him anytime and anywhere, if he was not confident in himself, let alone others?
Thinking of all the previous attacks like this, and now looking at the players who were crazy and fascinated by the games made by his company, he couldn't help but think of a song he had heard in his previous life while feeling a kind of venting pleasure.
A song written by Mr. Huang Zhan "The Long Road Accompanies Me".
"The long road is with me, with a body of courage and warmth, looking for self-seeking truth, and the place where I stop is regarded as my hometown. Invest in the fire of fate, how to measure the gains and losses, gallop into the rivers and lakes, who is nervous about the past...... Who is the highest and strongest and who am I? I have never paid attention to the world, I have never admired it, I have entered the wind of the sun and the moon, I am crazy with a smile, and I am drunk and free in the coming day, and I would rather rust my tasseled gun......"
While silently recalling the lyrics of this song that he once liked very much and fit his mood at this time, Jester turned around and walked away, he didn't need to watch the situation of this trial anymore, it was a big success, it was a foregone conclusion.
As a person who knows the future, why should he care about what the outside world says? He knows that his goal is right, he knows that his direction is right, he knows that the future is bright, he knows that the rewards are rich, and the next thing he has to do is to step forward, push away a qiē obstacle, and walk towards the only correct destination.
