Chapter 590: Preliminary Preparations
Naturally, an apology won't just be a phone call.
Actually, Richard. Garrett came to apologize later on, to be precise, after playing Outlander Requiem himself.
Naturally, as he had said before, Jester didn't pay attention to this matter at all.
Although things on Battle.net were in a hurry at the beginning, everything was on the right track, and after HP's server experts and Oracle's digital library repair experts arrived, they also got up smoothly.
This is not a big failure, but I haven't encountered it before, this time after the experience, if there is such a collapse in the future, Mars Entertainment's own support team will be able to complete it well, and after this time after increasing the intensity of several times the stress test, Jester also has the idea of officially launching the Mars Battle Network.
As for timing, Jester had two ideas, one was to launch it at Christmas time as a Christmas meal.
The other is to gradually expand the scale of invitations for testing, and after half a year, after next year's E3 war, the news will be announced at the E3 exhibition.
But if you want to come to Jester, it's better to do your best.
After all, about the battle network, it's not a secret now, as long as it's a company in the industry, if you want to ask, you must be able to know something, although the people involved in the test have signed a confidentiality agreement, but, this is only for public information, talk about it in private, although the agreement is also prohibited, but if the people involved in the test really do it, you don't know, right?
But Jester wanted to talk about it at the meeting.
The next day.
Sure enough, as Jester expected, before the carnival ended, Jester's speech at the opening ceremony of the carnival, which seemed a little crazy to others, suddenly became the target of everyone's attention in the industry.
This time, although Jester's prestige is still there, even Richard has been rumored before. Garrett personally came to apologize, you know, this is a secret in the video game circle, but many people still questioned Jester's arrogant idea.
After all, Jester's idea was just too crazy.
Jester's idea is beyond the limits of what can be accomplished with current technology.
It's natural not to be favored.
Soon, "GAME" exclusively disclosed the reason why Hayao Nakayama and Yu Suzuki were invited to participate in the Mars Entertainment Carnival on their website, and this article on the website also specifically explained that on the first day of the carnival, Hayao Nakayama and Yu Suzuki were already at the scene of the carnival. Li held several negotiations, and finally they accepted each other's terms and reached a formal agreement to cooperate.
Of course, the specific thing is not explained in this article on the website.
However, "GAME" magazine said that they have conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Suzuki Yu, and all the ins and outs of this matter will be answered in the latest issue of "GAME" magazine.
Although many people have speculated that Jester's agreement with Hayayao Nakayama must have something to do with the new game he is going to make, it is unknown what it has to do with it, and what kind of exchange of interests they are making, so during this time, as long as there is a post on this issue on the Internet on the Internet, it will be covered by various discussions, quarrels, and abuse.
When Ken Kutaragi, who was far away in Japan, learned that Hayao Nakayama had secretly reached a cooperation agreement with Jester, he was even more furious.
Because when Hayao Nakayama first arrived in the United States to participate in the carnival, he contacted Hayao Nakayama, and he was completely relieved after receiving assurances that Hayao Nakayama would never reach any private agreement with Jester.
He felt that with Nakayama Hayao's status in the industry, after all, when Nakayama Hayabusa was making game consoles, even Yamauchi Pu was still selling water gun toys, such a person attaches the most importance to his reputation and will definitely not deceive himself, but, judging from the current situation, it is obvious that he is wrong.
Hayayao Nakayama and Yu Suzuki returned on the day the carnival ended.
Originally, Jester wanted Suzuki Yu to stay directly, because after the carnival ended, Jester had to prepare for his open-world game, the first preparation, is the background of the historical period of the Spring and Autumn Period, characters, storylines, main lines and other pure textual things, of course, Jester can invite experts familiar with Asian history from famous schools such as Haval, Yale or Duke.
However, the most suitable candidate is still in China.
Those domestic historians and such experts in clothing culture did not have any oil and water in this period, and they were still full of hardship, and they went back to China to find the government to help do this, and they could do better things with less price.
After all, the price of just inviting a history professor at Duke University is enough to find hundreds of better scholars in this field from China to help you complete the basic setup.
Of course, there is also a need for some foreign language talents to translate the settings completed by these experts into English.
And, be as faithful as possible.
After all, in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was an era of a hundred schools of thought contending in China and a prosperous culture, although foreigners can understand the meaning and beauty of the aside, as long as they take out this perfect craftsman spirit to do whatever they do, it is no problem to get a good impression and improve their qualifications.
Europeans and Americans just like this mysterious oriental culture, which is difficult to understand no matter how much they study.
This is true for Japanese culture, and the same is true for the culture of countries whose names cannot be named.
There is another reason, that is, after all, almost 90 to 95 percent of the people who have to make zuò games according to the settings completed by these domestic experts this time are Europeans and Americans.
As for why it's 90 to 95 percent, it's because, this time, Jester plans to let Fu Zhan's domestic studio also participate in the development of the game this time, after all, he needs some people who are familiar with domestic culture in the whole team, of course, Jester has talked to Fu Zan about this before, Fu Zan is naturally excited.
Moreover, Jester also has his own ideas, and can lead some people in China to participate in the most incredible project in the world video game industry at the moment, and after five or six years, this project is completed, and these people have grown into roles that are enough to support themselves in the industry, and at that time, whether these people want to stay in the United States or return to China, it is a no-brainer.
It can be regarded as leaving a seed for the future domestic game.
If you want European and American players to gradually accept some Japanese cultural elements in the future, this is not something that can be done overnight, and it is not something that can be done with just one game of your own.
My own game, at most, is to open this door, and then the road behind this door is a small road, or a broad road, or directly a cliff, which is unpredictable, and it takes a lot of people's efforts.
You can't do it alone.
It takes a lot of people to work hard, these things can only be done by themselves, to cultivate by themselves, and if you want to let the group of game people who don't even know what the game is in China after 20 years, make it easier for Yao to make domestic games.
Before E3 ended, Fu Zan couldn't stay in Los Angeles and took the lead in returning to China to prepare for this matter.
Of course, Jester still has requirements for candidates, they must be passionate about video game development, young, have a high imagination, and, to be able to speak English, they don't need to be proficient, but at least they must have a foundation.
If this condition is twenty years later, it is really not that difficult.
However, in the 90s, this condition can be said to be very, very difficult to find, just take the condition that it seems to be the easiest to know a little English in the future, at this time in China, this kind of talent who knows foreign languages is very rare, although it is not like the time when it was just changed, as long as you can know English, go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to apply, as long as you pass the political examination, you can get an appointment.
However, almost all the people in China who know a little bit of foreign language are college students who are still proud of the sky.
Only these people, who have received the most elite education in the country, have such a skill that, in the eyes of many twenty years later, seems to be nothing more than an ordinary personal skill.
It's like when you were in the old world WOW at level 60, a character who had just been created had the ultimate talent that could only be had at level 60, although after the expansion was opened and the level cap was raised to 70, this level 60 ultimate talent seemed to become something that everyone had, but, in the old world, this level 60 ultimate talent was different.
And most importantly, college graduates of this era are distributed in packages.
In other words, college students who have just graduated do not have to worry about finding a job at all, they can be assigned to the government, state-owned enterprises and other public institutions, and it is very difficult to get these college students to go to a private company, even if it is a top foreign company.
Of course, Fu Zan still has an advantage.
That's the number of places to go abroad.
In order to facilitate Fu Zan to recruit talents in China, Jester specially gave him a special one, and five people could be sent to the headquarters of Mars Entertainment in the United States every year to learn one year's full effort.
The reason why Fu Zan was given such power is, of course, that Jester understands the mentality of domestic students in this era. R1152
