Chapter 372: Super Balotelli Racing

Jester suddenly felt like he had made a mistake.

He felt that he was too interested in the impact of this incident on his console release, and he was too interested in his desire to use the console to do something.

In fact, the sixteen-bit home game console that was planned to be jointly developed with Sony Nintendo was not prepared in advance, nor was it a plan to be released long in advance, but it was just a coincidence, and the release date calculated by Jester according to the progress of research and development collided with the release date of Sony Nintendo's console, so that there was a sniper plan that was released at the same time.

But now with the break with Nintendo-Sony, the previous plan no longer works, and naturally there is no need to dwell on it.

Now the most important thing is to seize as much occupancy as possible of the sixteen-bit machine, not to let Sega specialize in the front, now many players are still maintaining restraint, and not being tempted by Sega The big reason is that before New Year's Day, he publicly promised that a new console will be released immediately after the year, that is, Dreambox2, and players who support themselves are also full of expectations for their new consoles.

If you suddenly announce the postponement of the release time, even if it is only for one month, then it will shake the confidence of the players who originally supported them, and they will not believe the time reminder of the delay of one month, but will only pay attention to the fact that we are going to postpone the release time, which will hit their confidence in themselves, thinking that their new console has encountered some problems and is difficult to release within the expected time.

Therefore, the most important thing now is to do the best to release Kuài, stabilize the confidence of Dìng players, and then seize the market as much as possible.

Thinking about this, Jester also smiled self-deprecatingly, now the production of Dreambox2 does not need to worry about its own problems, and he has first-class quality control experts trained by Dreambox production for more than four years to supervise the quality control on the front line of production, and Hon Hai Precision has also dispatched most of the production lines to produce the game consoles it needs.

The products produced are being shipped in batches to various locations ready for sale, and all of them are planned, and these do not need to be paid attention to.

And,I'm not good at production.,Since you're not good at it, leave it to people who are good at it.,If he has to do what he's not good at.,There's nothing else to use except to add to the chaos.,But for the first game,,It's what he's good at.。

The first few games are basically based on sequels, "Contra" series, "Saloman Snake" series, etc.,But these games are all good.,The quality of the game is naturally nothing to say.,It's all meticulously crafted by the development team.,That's all.,No innovation has been made in the game itself.,It's basically a continuation of the previous work.。

Of course, there are also reasons why this type of game is not convenient for too much innovation.

However, it is impossible to guarantee that every game is a masterpiece that can affect the entire game process, a game platform, there are many games to be released every month, and even dozens of games, although there are a large number of third-party manufacturers in these games, but there will also be a lot of first-party games, it is impossible for Jester to guide every game produced by his own first-party, it is unrealistic, meaningless, and unnecessary.

However, in the early days of release, it is naturally necessary to release a masterpiece that can increase sales every month or two months.

And with the Dreambox2 released at the same time, to boost sales, it is naturally the Balotelli series, the most popular game series among the American people, and now within Mars Entertainment, there are two Balotelli games in development or have been developed, one is from Will. Wright, who took over the banner of the Super Balotelli series, is a Jester who has never heard of a name in the original history, and is called Tony, who should have become a maker in the timeline of this world. A young man under the age of thirty, Laurian is working on "Super Balotelli World", which Jester conceived.

This game is also basically based on the basic structure of "Super Mario World" developed by Nintendo in order to grab the market when it was released at SFC. Laurian discussed.

At the beginning, this game came out at a time when MD had already occupied half of the game market, and it took on the important responsibility of recovering the share that had been seized by Sega for Nintendo, and the frenzied sales of this game after its release did not disappoint Nintendo.

The other game is based on Super Mario Kart, which has set a record sales on SFC, plus some ideas for similar games in the future, such as the interesting settings of similar games like "Running Kart", and let Yuji Naka take over the development of "Super Balotri Racing" - this game Jester has not known exactly how it was developed until now.

Because the development team of Yuji in the middle,All of them are developed in Japan,Although the R&D report will be sent to the headquarters once a month,But just with the R&D report with only cold text,It's still difficult to produce a more vivid picture of this game.,But from the test feedback sent by the Japanese company at the same time,This is a game that is very popular with the employees of the Japanese branch.。

Even according to a work report by Tamahide Yoshiro, in this game only sixty or seventy percent of the game has been completed, it has already dominated the spare time and rest time of the Japanese branch, even Tamahide Yoshiro is full of praise for this game, and even after Hideo Kojima has played it, he even bluntly declared that this is the most interesting game he has ever played and he has ever seen.

However, according to the text reported by Yuji's development team last month, although this game has been completed, it is because there are more interactive things, and for the first time in this game, the setting of a four-player game has been added, which is also for Dreambox2 to support the setting of up to four people online at the same time and Dreambox2's ability to reduce the screen and develop the function of four-screen storyboard.

USING SOME NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT HAS NEVER BEEN USED BEFORE, SO IT WILL TAKE A LITTLE MORE TIME ON THE DEBUG SIDE.

In order to find out whether Yuji's game is completed or not, although it is already night in Japan, Jester still tried to make a call to Yuji's office, and no one answered the phone, which was also expected by Jester, he just couldn't bear it for a while, and wanted to ask as much as he could, since the other party didn't answer, then he could only wait until the Japanese branch went to work tomorrow and then ask.

However, after just half an hour, the phone on Jester's desk came to mind, and Jester, who was watching other texts, did not suspect that he had answered.

And the voice of Yuji Naka came from the other end of the phone immediately.

Yuji Naka's voice is relatively low, very has his own style, and his English does not have the habit of getting rid of the tongue curl sound of the Japanese speaking English, and it sounds a little weird, so when Jester just heard this voice, although there will be some distortion when the phone calls from Guò are crossed, he still immediately distinguishes that it is Yuji Nakatsu on the other end of the phone.

"Boss, I went to the R&D room once just now, but I didn't hear the phone."

Yuji Nakatsu said apologetically at first, but it's just a trivial matter, not to mention, it's already night in Japan time, and it's natural that the other party is not in the office, of course, it is precisely because Jester knows the working habits of game development companies, no matter which country's game development company, when developing games, the relevant personnel of the development team, overtime is commonplace, and even at the juncture when it is most necessary to sprint the development progress, the development team basically will not get off work before twelve o'clock.

After Jester nodded again to show his understanding, he smiled and asked, "Are you still working overtime?" How's the game developing? ”

To this, Yuji Nakatsu also answered truthfully.

"Yes, the feedback from the test has been recovered, and I am organizing the development team to fix a bug in the game, because when the game was developed, our experience in this kind of game was almost zero, and in the game, in order to make some systems better, there were still some bugs, and there was more time to fix."

From Yuji's voice, Jester could hear a hint of exhaustion.

Jester calculated the time, and it should be almost twelve o'clock at night Tokyo time, but according to Yuji's statement, he has no plans to let the development team get off work.

This is also normal, because Yuji himself knows that this game is the first work prepared for the release of the new console Dreambox2, although the headquarters has not confirmed the specific release time of Dreambox2, but it is already clear that there is a signal, it should not exceed the next month, plus a lot of time to burn game cartridges, and now the headquarters does not have much time left for him, so he will work overtime like this.

And the work of game development is like this, and Jester can't say anything, because he himself often works like this when he is developing the game, so he just said to pay attention to his body, and he didn't dwell on this issue, but continued to ask: "When do you expect to be able to complete the release version?" I'm already planning to release a new console early next month, so I'd like to ask you about your progress so I can confirm a specific date. ”R1152
