Hear Jester ask.

Originally, the numerical designer of "Age of Empires", Cansut, pondered for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "It's hard to say, I can only say that it is much easier to balance the values than "Age of Empires", and in terms of the difference in designing races, three or four different races are much easier than fifteen after all." ”

Although some people say this, there are still people who have different opinions.

"But, boss, have you ever thought about a question?" Williams, the level designer of "Age of Empires", said tentatively, and when he saw Jester looking at him, he didn't hesitate, and immediately said, "In this case, there are only three or four forces, will it seem too thin?" Players may be able to play enough after a few plays. ”

"Huh."

Jester chuckled lightly and shook his head: "There is no need to worry about this, in fact, our previous ten, fifteen settings, just because when choosing the game background of "Age of Empires", there are many forces that are difficult to choose, so I simply chose to go in together, in fact, among so many forces, there are only three or four countries or forces with great differences, and the others are just wearing a different layer of skin." ”

In fact, this time, Jester is not just promoting the new RTS game he wants to make for Zuò, but not just a game.

"I actually have a big idea about the game we are going to design next, and my personal meaning is that I want to constantly improve the world background set in this game, so as to form a complete world view that can truly represent our game company."

Hearing Jester say this, everyone present also showed puzzled looks.

Jester also felt that he was not clear enough, but some of the things he said now didn't make much sense, but he explained as much as he could. After all, the most important thing is to let your subordinates understand their thoughts.

"I told you before that I want to design a fantasy world that can be liked, understood, and loved by millions, or even tens of millions of people, just like Lord of the Rings, and this RTS game we made is the beginning of my construction of this world."

But after hearing Jester say that. Many people had extremely shocked looks on their faces.

You must know that Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is worthy of its name, the beginning of Western fantasy novels, it can be said that many of these games now, including board games with DND rules, the source of these is not so much the medieval knight novels of hundreds of years ago, but rather Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.

Tolkien is inside The Lord of the Rings. A world with a complete view of the world is depicted.

That's what Jester wants to do now.

After hearing this, many people swallowed their saliva, and they felt that Jester's idea was a little unrealistic: "Boss." IMHO, this horror is not something that can be accomplished with just a few games. ”

Although the others did not speak.

However, Jester could still tell from their expressions. They all agreed with what he had just said.

Jester knew that it would be unrealistic to convince them that what they said would come true. He was not in a hurry, he stood up, stretched his waist, and said a little tiredly: "This matter is like this first, I will arrange the affairs of "Rune Guardian" in a few days, and then we will have a meeting to discuss in detail how to make this game, and I will take the time to do the world line and background setting of the game in the next few days." ”

Jester paused slightly.

"For this game, I decided to launch a novel and a comic at the same time, and when our game starts to develop, I will find someone from the Children of Mars to perfect this matter."

With that, Jester let him go.

And Jester is also getting more and more momentum to build the Son of Mars to the Storm Child of Blizzard, and now the Son of Mars has more than 14 people, and the Son of Mars has very strict requirements for the selection quota, and it must be a very talented person in the field of art to be selected.

Moreover, only one candidate can be selected at most each year, and no matter how good the other candidates are, there will only be one place within a year.

Even, if there are no suitable people this year, then no one will be selected.

The current Children of Mars has the momentum of the Children of the Storm more than 20 years later, and they can be called some of the best artists in the entire video game field.

And there are several of them who are also very interested in writing novels.

Therefore, Jester plans to leave the plot novel about the world of Azeroth to these people to complete, of course, he will also participate in the main world line, but he can't even be responsible for all the branches and leaves, he can only leave it to other people to do.

In fact, it's not just small studios like Nishiki that are interested in RTS.

In fact, in the United States, many game companies are choosing whether they want to develop a similar one to make a quick buck after seeing the hot phenomenon of RTS games on PC.

However, the difficulty of independently developing a 3D engine is too great, and the new engines here are also under development, and if you develop such an engine yourself, if the game fails, then the loss will be big, and PC games are not like console games.

Sales have not been high.

The developers of console games have also considered porting pseudo-3D games to home consoles, but because of the particularity of FPS games, players using controllers have no way to play happily at all.

Jester is also hehe.

FPS can make a big difference on the console, that's really thanks to "Halo", if it weren't for the emergence of the classic setting of "Halo"'s auxiliary aiming, then the guns in the car gun ball that dominated the game world in the future would no longer exist.

And from "Assassination of Hitla" or further, starting from "DOOM", until the appearance of "Halo", there are still four or five years of appearance, besides, the function of the current console does not allow it, and the capacity of the cassette does not allow it, so, in a short period of time, Jester is not optimistic, FPS games on the home console.

For the next period of time, Jester lived a more regular life.

Regarding the RTS game in the world of Azeroth, Jester was planning to wait until he got married to start making Zuò, and now the most important thing for him is to finish "Rune Guardian" first.

However, as a benchmark figure in the world video game industry, Jester's every move is naturally widely watched.

Especially the news that he is working on a new game.

"What, Jester is working on a new game again? One of the RTS games he talked about before? I don't like this genre, I like RPGs, but it's a pity that Jester hasn't done a lot of RPG games......" When a college student was chatting with his friends, someone said something about Jester's recent news that it was being developed.

But soon, immediately his friend shook his head.

"No, this time you guessed wrong, according to the report on the latest "game" I bought, Jester's RTS game, although it is already in the internal plan, but it is still being discussed, it is said that this RTS is a very big plan, not only will there be games, but there will also be novels and comics about this game, but "Runestine Guardian" is just a small game."

The person who spoke was a little triumphant, and apparently, he was a little complacent about knowing something that others didn't know.

"Really?"

The college student, who was still a little interested before, suddenly became interested, after all, from the name of this game, he felt that this game was very likely to be his favorite RPG game, because his type of game was unlikely to be called such a clear name.

"Of course!"

The one who replied was still a little smug, and he continued to talk like a river.

"Although it is a small game, it is also a well-thought-out game by Jester, and this game by Jester this time is just looking for two new employees who have just joined Mars Entertainment not long ago to help, that is, a lot of the content in it is made by Jester himself!"

However, after listening to it, the other party's face obviously showed an expression of lack of interest again, and he said with some speculation: "Then this game won't be of average quality, right?" After all, it's just Jester alone, plus two novices to do it, no matter how powerful Jester is, can he still top ten of one? ”

"Phew! What do you call that! ”

Obviously, because of this slander against Jester by the other party, it caused the dissatisfaction of the person who looked a little smug before, and it seems that this person should be a die-hard fan of Jester.

"I sue you, Jester makes zuò games, which one is not a boutique? This time, just because Jester felt that this game was just a small game, there was no need for too many people to participate in the development at all, and it was enough to find two interns to help, and it was enough to get started. ”

As he spoke, the man licked his lips, and his eyes showed a look of envy.

"It's really cheap for those two interns, after they interned with Jester, with this experience, then their status will also rise!" (To be continued......)
