Chapter 429: Minesweeper-style RPG
And Jester will also be Rob. The change in the expression on Pardo's face caught in his eyes.
Jester just smiled and continued his words.
"To put it simply, I's talent, I can see from the letter, I have dinner with you this time, just to see what such a talented person is like in RTS game development, and you didn't disappoint me, so even if you take the initiative to ask me if you can come to Mars Entertainment to ask, I will take the initiative to ask you before leaving, because this is what you deserve."
Speaking of which, Rob. Pardo didn't know what Jester was thinking, he just stood up, his fists clenched, his face flushed, and his eyes were full of excitement.
"But ......"
At this time, Jester's voice changed, and he waved his hand, signaling to Rob. Pardo sat down first, he still had nothing to say.
And hearing the twist in Jester's words, Rob. Pardo's face was suddenly excited and excited by a worried look, he was afraid that Jester's words just now were just comforting him, in fact, it was only the words that came later that Jester really meant.
"But what you said you wanted to do with me on a game......"
Jester said this with a look of hesitation on his face, as if he hadn't made any decision yet, but ~ at least, he wasn't right away.
At this time, Rob. Pardo breathed a sigh of relief for a while, at least not that he couldn't be entertained on Mars, but when he heard Jester say that he could not develop a game with him, the heart he had just sunk suddenly lifted again.
Although he has no specific game development experience, he also knows that being able to develop a game with Jester must be based on his understanding of the game. There will inevitably be great leaps and improvements.
And Jester has proven this with countless examples.
I don't know how many of the best game designers in the world today have developed a game with Jester before they have grown by leaps and bounds.
"It's not the same time."
Being Rob. As Pardo was thinking, Jester's voice continued to sound, and it was obvious that from Jester's determined tone at this time, it could be judged that he had already made his own decision about the second question he asked.
So, when Jester's voice rang out again. Rob. Pardo's expression became tense again.
“…… Back then, I could take some inexperienced, ignorant teenagers like you, to play games together, but now it's different from the past, the subordinates I need are experienced and have a tacit understanding with me, and you don't meet these conditions. ”
Hear Jester say that. Rob. Pardo also knew what Jester meant, and he did.
He was about to say sorry for the trouble Jester had caused Jester that his previous request, but he was able to get an internship at Mars Entertainment. This is already a rare thing, and he is very grateful.
But before he could speak, Jester's voice changed again.
"But. I think, experience, tacit understanding, these things. It's not something that you are born with and can't be changed, in fact, it's something that can be cultivated, so I've always felt that it's a big mistake to use these conditions as an excuse to reject people who are truly talented. ”
Jester said with a smile in the corner of his eye: "Rob...... Rob. Pardo ...... "First of all, Rob. Pardo's name, Jester said very seriously: "And you, you are the kind of person I said who really has a talent in this industry that is difficult for others to miraculously do." ”
Hearing such a twist and turn, Rob. Pardo, of course, had a look of ecstasy on his face.
Could it be that your idol agreed to her request?
"Still, you're inexperienced, and that's the biggest problem." However, Jester's voice changed again, and this time Jester stretched out a finger and kept tapping on the table, if anyone who knew him well, they knew that if Jester did this, it meant that he had made a decision.
Jester didn't speak very quickly: "Also, I don't actually have any plans for the development of major games in a short period of time, and the development plan that I can determine is only that in the next three years, I will make an RTS game every year, but the closest one is probably after February next year, because I will have some personal matters to leave the United States at the beginning of next year." ”
Hear Jester say that about Rob. Pardo didn't say a word, he knew Jester must have something left unfinished.
Sure enough, Jester only paused slightly, as if thinking about something, and after thinking for a few seconds, Jester's voice rang in his ears again.
"But I'm a person who can't be idle.,When there's no big plan.,I like to do some small games that can continue to develop thinking.,This kind of training to develop thinking.,It's very useful for exercising our ability to make games.,My little game this time,It's a very special RPG.,I'm going to find an assistant to help.,One of the candidates I've determined.,Actually, my original plan.,It's just to recruit an assistant.,But since you put forward the previous requirements.,Then I decided., Increase the number of assistants to two. ”
"Really!"
Rob. Pardo heard Jester say this, his face once again showed a look of ecstasy, this time, the look was much more exuberant than the previous one, you know, getting an internship in Mars Entertainment, and getting an internship under Jester, this is a completely different difficulty.
If the difficulty of getting an actual opportunity at Mars Entertainment was one before, then the difficulty of getting an internship under Jester is one hundred.
Moreover, Jester gave Rob. Pardo's surprises didn't stop there.
Jester didn't answer Rob directly. Pardo's 'really' question, he just continued to smile and said, "Moreover, I can also give you a promise, if you are good at this time, I will give you a chance to develop a new RTS game with me." ”
"Plans to work on a new RTS game with Jester?"
Rob. Pardo's heart was ecstatic again, you must know that the games that Jester participated in the development of each one are classics in the entire game history, and if he can also participate in the development, then his ability and reputation will be greatly improved.
Just Rob. By the time Pardo began to think crankily again, Jester had already stood up, and it was clear that he was going to say goodbye.
This meeting, for Jester, is quite satisfied, after all, he has obtained a top designer who will inevitably make a great name in the RTS field in the future.
And in Robbe. Pardo's ears also heard the last words Jester asked him as he left.
This sentence also made him feel a little strange.
"Have you ever played Minesweeper?"
Rob. After the figure of Jester's sedan disappeared, Pardo was still pondering what Jester said to himself before he got into the car, why did he ask himself if he had ever played Minesweeper?
Of course he had played Minesweeper, like such a classic PC game, how could he not have played it?
He was wondering what the game had to do with Jester, and he knew that the game was Jester's brainchild and then by John. At that time, Jester had just established Mars Entertainment, and Dreambox had no shadow. Carmack, known to programmers in the industry as the god of programmers, was only fourteen years old at the time.
But what's the point of all this?
In fact, Jester only deliberately talked to Rob when he left. Pardo made a joke, of course, this joke was not made casually, he did it for a reason, because the RPG he planned to develop next was a Minesweeper-style RPG.
In fact, this is also a whim, before he crossed, he knew that a certain studio in China was developing a minesweeper-style RPG called "Rune Guardian".
Although "Rune Keeper" is not the first minesweeper-style RPG, it is the first one Jester plays, and he is really impressed, this is a very good game, both the gameplay and the setting, can reflect everywhere the designers want to surprise the player.
Jester is friends with a member of the development team.,I've played the test version.,I didn't expect the production zuò to be really very sophisticated and attentive.,Although it's only an incomplete version.,But the playability is also very high.,Even to put it bluntly.,Even if it's such a small game.,The playability is higher than the so-called domestic three swords that have been blown so loudly that I don't know where.。
For example, what is the game "Xuanyuan Sword Gaiden: The Gate of the Firmament", saying that it is a bad work is insulting a bad work, like a piece of Xiang is insulting Xiang, Jester was really unimaginable at the time, such a work, how can a domestic company still have the face to take it out for sale?
Jester is not a picture party, but it is a game released in 2015, a masterpiece, and it can only reach the level of the PS generation in terms of graphics, how can this kind of thing be tolerated and forgiven?
When the first generation of "Ancient Sword and Strange Tan" was released, it was ridiculed for a long time because the picture level could only reach the level of FF10 nine years ago, but "Xuanyuan Sword" didn't even care about the level of PS2, and directly raised itself to the level of PS.
It's not a picture party, but it is absolutely intolerable, and the current domestic manufacturers are still using the so-called feelings to consume players.
In this way, domestic games will never have a way out. (To be continued......) R1292
