Chapter 628: Chapter-by-chapter production
After a moment of silence, Jester smiled.
"That's not bad, after all, we're just in the process of exploring a game of such a new genre."
Jester paused for a moment, and then continued, "I don't know if this kind of game can be completed in the end." With that, he sighed.
And Suzuki Yu's tone is much more confident.
"I think we're going to be able to do a game of this scale, and I believe that the game we're going to do is the future of video games...... It's just that for us now, he is indeed a little difficult to overcome, but this does not mean that there is no way to conquer, a long time ago, there were many people who thought that Mount Everest was impossible to climb. ”
"Do you have any ideas?"
Jester heard Suzuki Yu say this, he was also a little curious, for the original father of the 3D sandbox game, how did he think of the development of his game, after all, in addition to the fact that he wanted to get Suzuki Yu's talent in combat system design, the most important thing is his identity that should have belonged to him, maybe some of his ideas can make him take a lot less detours.
"It's not anything special, I just thought about the scale of the game we're going to do......"
As he spoke, Yuya Suzuki gestured with his hand, he meant that the scale of this game was very large, and then he shook his head and said, "...... The scale is so large that I don't think it's realistic to try to do a whole story, because even if the next generation of consoles use CD storage, I am afraid that there is no way to store such a large amount of content. ”
Yu Suzuki said this very firmly, and Jester did not deny it.
Because he knew that Yu Suzuki started making games from hardware such as arcade frames, he knew about hardware. He was much more authoritative than he might be.
"Yes, that's true."
Jester nodded.
Yu Suzuki continued to laugh, and then, looking at Jester, laughed and said, "So, when I think about this, I feel a little weird, because these things are not deep-seated issues, just think about it, and anyone who works in game development can know this." But why did Your Excellency still intend to carry out this project without hesitation? ”
Jester didn't interject this time, but smiled and watched as Yu Suzuki continued.
"I was puzzled, I knew there must be a reason, but I didn't think about it for a moment, and later, when I was bored, I was looking through the fascicle comic books. Suddenly, there was an idea.,Since comics can be sold in separate volumes like this,Then why can't games be sold in separate volumes?。 ”
"So, I thought. Do you want to divide the game into a dozen chapters, and then, make one or several chapters at a time? It's like this kind of serialized comic book, published in separate volumes, to make a game? ”
Yu Suzuki excitedly said his reasoning.
And then. He looked at Jester intently, hoping to hear Jester's reply.
Jester just smiled, and then fell silent, and after a while he replied: "Suzuki, what you said is indeed what I thought, I also thought at the time, if you want to do too many systems, then it is probably unrealistic to want a complete story, you can only divide a complete story into several parts, this is originally an attempt at game development, the main thing is that I want to prove that these can be done." ”
"yes, that's the only way."
Yu Suzuki nodded as well, and then he moved on to another topic.
"Jace, my team is almost formed, and I can do motion design and motion capture without the few people who stayed in the United States before calling Japan, which can be perfected in advance."
Jester didn't say anything about it.
Just said lightly: "I said before, after the group, each development team is responsible for a separate person, I just want you to give me satisfactory results, as for how you do it, I don't care." ”
As he spoke, the door of the room was pushed open,
Minoru Nakoshi walked in with a tray of tea sets, which had already been brewed, and he placed the tea sets neatly beside Jester and Yu Suzuki, and then he looked at Jester with a look in his eyes as if he wanted to say something.
Jester actually likes Minoru Namoshi, even though this is only the first time he's met the other person.
But in fact, because of the memory in Jester's mind, he was full of respect for the purple gold beam of the Optimus White Jade Pillar of Sega after this, if it weren't for his persistence in Sega's most dangerous time, I'm afraid, Sega would not have survived, so Jester saw this strange look in Minoru Nakoshi's eyes, and he was also interested, so he made a joke.
"What? Do you still want to sign it? ”
Hearing Jester say this, Minoru Nagoshi was immediately shocked, but Minoru Nagoshi's answer surprised Jester even more.
Minoru Nakoshi immediately smiled awkwardly after being shocked.
"Yes...... Yes. ”
After Jester heard Minoru Nakoshi's answer, his face suddenly became embarrassed, what he said before was just a joke, in his mind, this was absolutely impossible, but he didn't expect that even if it was so, he still let him say it.
Seeing the change in the expression on Jester's face, Minoru Nagoshi also knew that the other party might have misunderstood him.
So he hurriedly explained: "It's not what you think, I don't want your autograph......" But just after saying this, Minoru Nakoshi also seemed to feel that it seemed impolite to say this, and suddenly became a little sluggish, opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.
Jester is a very intelligent person, and his understanding is far beyond that of ordinary people.
He quickly understood what Minoru Nakoshi was trying to say, and then, he laughed: "I see what you mean, you mean, you don't want my signature this time, but you want me to help you ask someone else?" ”
"Yes, yes."
Hearing Jester say what he meant, Minoru Nagoshi hurriedly nodded vigorously.
"Whose do you want?" Jester didn't refuse, so he asked directly, but Minoru Nakoshi didn't even think about it, and directly said a name that surprised Jester.
"I want an autographed photo of Shigeru Miyamoto, he's one of my favorite designers, and I love his games."
This sentence is said very seriously and firmly.
This was indeed very surprising to Jester, because he knew that Minoru Nakoshi had joined Sega many years ago, and an employee of Sega would like Nintendo's ace designer so much? Doesn't that seem right? Although Shigeru Miyamoto has now joined Mars Entertainment, this is less than a year old.
Yu Suzuki saw the hint of doubt flashing across Jester's face, and he smiled and explained for Jester.
"Actually, the company that Nagoshi wanted to join the most at the beginning was Nintendo, and his favorite game company was also Nintendo, but unfortunately, Nintendo didn't want him at that time, so he came to our Sega."
When he said this, Yu Suzuki laughed.
"You may not know that at that time, he was very resistant to working at Sega, because our relationship with Nintendo was not good at that time, to be precise, we did not have a good relationship with Sega, but he followed me for a long time, and he also thought that Sega was great, not worse than Nintendo, but I asked him before, who his favorite game company and designer were."
"His answer is still the same, Nintendo and Miyamoto Shigeru."
"You may not know that after Nintendo announced his complete withdrawal from the game industry last year, he cried a lot."
After saying this, Suzuki's laughter became louder.
But this actually made Jester a little embarrassed.
Because the culprit who forced Nintendo to quit the game industry was himself, he really didn't expect that a future Sega veteran would be a diehard Nintendo.
In fact, although Jester preferred Minoru Nakoshi in his previous life, he really didn't have an in-depth understanding of his past.
If only he had known about Minoru Nakoshi's past.
Now he won't be surprised that the other party is a Nintendo fan.
He was born in 1965 in Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and to be honest, 1965 was a really remarkable year for the Japanese game industry, but in fact, there are always some very strange things that happen, but they don't understand at all, just like NBA lovers will always find that in a given year, there will be a lot of really good players.
In some other years, there is always no one who can fight, such as the famous 96 Golden Generation, 03 Golden Generation.
This is also the case in the Japanese game industry.
The year is 1965.
Not only Minoru Nakoshi, but also Yasuyo Matsuno, Shinji Mikami, Keiji Inafune, Kitaka Funamizu, Yuji Naka, Tetsuno Mizuguchi...... Many, many people who will carry half of the Japanese game industry in later generations were born in 1965.
This phenomenon is unique in other years.
As Yu Suzuki said before, Minoru Nakoshi did worry about his job when he graduated from college.
There was even the idea of simply not giving away the Sega, but fortunately, it was just an idea, and Minoru Nagoshi didn't really reject the Sega at that time, otherwise, maybe the history of video games would be completely different. (To be continued......)
