At this time, Richard. Garrett regretted his short-sightedness.

After all, if your new game loses to Jester's "Outlander Requiem" in the Game of the Year or RPG Game of the Year selection, then you really have to kiss the donkey's ass in public?

As soon as I thought of this, Richard. Garrett shuddered.

And, there is one more question in Richard. Garrett was in his heart, that is, what kind of game is "Exotic Requiem", why does this game get so many people, so multimedia, and even a few of his friends who never praise the game?

The idea is like a reptilian that keeps on Richard. Garrett has fangs and claws in his heart.

Influenced by such a jumble of ideas, Richard. Garrett finally made a decision that he would never have made before, and that was to go to the carnival of Mars Entertainment and experience the game in person.

However, Richard. Garrett didn't want to be secretive.

He's not that kind of person.

He will go in the open.

Jester left the Ann-Naheim Convention Center after lunch, he was too busy to spend the whole day at the carnival.

Mars Entertainment Headquarters does have an important matter for him to deal with.

Previously, at last year's carnival, Jester wanted to start preparing for his own battle network.

However, he thought about this matter too simply, the current poor network conditions are not at all able to be solved by guò network technology, and if you want players to connect to the guò network all over the United States to conduct online battles in Age of Empires, it is not a problem that can be solved perfectly.

However, when Jester and his subordinates understood this.

They've been wasting almost four months of their time.

Of course, it can't be said to be wasteful. At least one of the prototype skeletons of the battlenet has been built, but if the final plan of the battlenet does not succeed, then the prototype of this skeleton is useless.

The people who originally participated in this project felt that this plan was going to be aborted in this way.

In all fairness, Jester's Battle.net plan was indeed an extraordinary idea in their minds, but it was too early to come up with it, after all, the construction of the network in the United States is still in progress. It may be that in another three years, it will be very feasible to carry out this plan again, but now, I can only sigh with hope.

However, soon, Jester gave his rectification plan.

Project Battle.net is still going on, but this time it's not a game support for a large number of jù swaps like Age of Empires, but instead of supporting board games.

In fact, Jester learned that he wanted to create an RTS game that could support the likes of Age of Empires right now. Even after trying to support FPS online battles like "Thor's Hammer" was wishful thinking, he thought about the rectification plan in his memory, and in the end, he really let him be in his memory range. Found an example to refer to.

Many people may remember that when the network in China was just beginning, there was a Lianzhong world.

In the Lianzhong world, the largest source of users is for board and card games. Of course, this is not the successful application of the new thing of the network pioneered by the people of Lianzhong World, which is also the successful experience of Shanzhai in the past.

In Jester's memory.

In '91, Sierra set up the world's first service platform dedicated to online games, The-Sierra-Work. Later, the platform was renamed Imagination-Work, and was acquired by AOL Painting at a large price in '96, at that time, the The-Sierra-Work platform, for the convenience of narration, was tentatively called the United States, which provided a function that could be used to play Shell, chess, or some other chess online battles.

And it was a great success.

Bill. Gates admitted that he was a loyal user of the American Union at the time, and he liked to play bridge games on the American Union game platform in his spare time.

When Jester talked to his Mars Battle.net development team about making the transition to this aspect, these people were also extremely excited, because with their technology, Jester's evaluation of this suggestion was feasible, and it was completely whimsical like Jester's previous plan.

So, a Battle.net platform that initially only supported bridge, Texas Hold'em and chess was built earlier this year.

After that, there was a long period of internal testing.

The test personnel were some die-hard fans of Mars Entertainment, as well as some people specially invited by Jester.

Let's say Bill. Gates, on the other hand, was invited by Jester to participate in the test, and according to Mars Entertainment's internal statistics, since Bill. After Gates participated in this invitation, he actually landed on the Martian Battle.net almost every day and played several games. Gates' favorite game is bridge.

Of course, all the people involved in this test have signed a very strict confidentiality clause, and they are forbidden to disclose any information about the Martian Battle.net.

Until the opening of the carnival.

The Mars Battle Network has been running for almost half a year, and there have been a few small accidents in the middle, but they are not big, and they have all been solved smoothly.

Originally, at the internal meeting, there was indeed a desire to announce the information of this Battle.net at the carnival and conduct a public test of the battle.net, but after thinking about it again, Jester vetoed this proposal.

Because Jester knows that they may be the first to carry out such a network support service covering the whole United States, and there is a problem in this, it can be said that no one knows, if you don't test as completely as possible before, then it is very likely that it will bring players a very poor test experience.

Therefore, Jester still asked the Battle.net support team to conduct another stress test on the Battle.net system.

Moreover, this stress test is much more severe than the previous ones, and it is necessary to fully consider the situation that can be encountered.

Sure enough, just now, the Battle.net system, which was being stress-tested, collapsed.

As a result, Jester had to rush back to the company's headquarters to deal with the matter.

After arriving at the company, Jester learned that the situation encountered this time was not just a simple matter as the collapse of the Battle.net system caused by the stress test, but also caused another very strict thing, that is, the number of battle.net jù libraries also collapsed.

After knowing the severity of this incident, Jester also contacted the technical team of Oracle and HP as soon as possible.

Because Jester had reached an agreement with Ellison before, Jester was already one of Oracle's major shareholders, so after receiving Jester's call, Ellison also sent Oracle's technical team to the headquarters of Mars Entertainment as soon as possible to help them deal with this matter, but HP's efficiency was not so high.

Jester got a reply that their server technical team wouldn't be able to arrive until tomorrow at the earliest.

This left Jester in a hurry at the headquarters.

But fortunately, the current Battle.net system is just an internal test, and it is not a big deal if something happens.

While Jester was worried about this, one of his assistants told him something very different, a very unexpected phone call, to be exact.

The person who called was Richard. Garrett.

While hearing his assistant, in saying Richard. Garrett's name, Jester was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly figured out the meaning of the other party's initiative to call, there is no doubt that at this time, the other party gave him this call, it was to give him a soft face, and it is very likely that he had already tried his game in person.

In fact, Jester was talking a little angry at the time.

He is not a child, for a trivial matter, he can remember for a lifetime, in fact, the so-called words of kissing the donkey's ass when he loses, he has long forgotten about it.

Let your assistant be Richard. Garrett's call was transferred to his office.

Jester picked up the phone and spoke to Richard in a very gentle tone. After Garrett gave some greetings, Richard. Garrett also apologized for the unreasonable things he said earlier, and of course, Jester also accepted it graciously.

In fact, even in the GDC's selection of the best games, his own game really beat Richard. Garrett's game, so what?

I really have to lead a donkey to the scene and let Richard. Garrett kissing the donkey's ass in full view?

Are you kidding.

That certainly Richard. Garrett has lost all his face and has no face to be, but what kind of image should he be? A narrow-minded, insidious and vicious, without energy, without tolerance and so on, will be added to his head, how can such a self lead the entire video game industry in the future?

When hearing Richard. When Garrett wanted to go to the carnival and experience "Outlander Requiem" in person, Jester immediately agreed, and immediately asked people to go to Vital Entertainment to give Richard. Garrett sent two invitations to the carnival. (To be continued......)
