Chapter 166: Archivable Cassette
After taking a shower, Jester came out of the bathroom, wearing a bathrobe and wiping his wet hair with a towel in his hand.
He walked in the direction of the kitchen, still thinking about the game he thought of when he was in the shower, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the idea was reliable, but because his game could be regarded as a creative reference to Cairo Games' "Manga Mystery no Hosodo", the rest had to be original by him, and basically there was no similar game to refer to like the previous games he made.
Of course, it is also possible that Jester was not exposed to this type of game before being reborn.
Sitting back down on a chair in the kitchen, Jester nodded to Claudia, and then he began to conceive of a game about an ordinary man becoming a chef.
Perhaps the only thing that can be learned is what Kazuyuki Usui can learn from the "Manga Okuno Hosodo" in "Manga Mystery no Hosodo" about a person in the process of growing up, and the experience method system is the same as that, in short, what can the protagonist do to improve the protagonist's ability in a certain aspect, such as a chef, under what circumstances can he improve his knife skills, improve his ability to control the fire, improve his ability to white cases, improve his understanding of various dishes, and even further improve his understanding of different nationalities and different countriesand even dietary taboos to understand.
That's what players need to do in the game.
When Jester first conceived the game, he didn't want to be limited to Chinese cuisine, because Jester, who knows a lot about cooking, has far less narrow vision, and he has seen countless cuisines, except for the United Kingdom, basically every country has its own unique culinary characteristics, and each cuisine has a famous chef.
In fact, British food is not useless, at least their desserts are indeed a must.
At the beginning of the game, the player can set his name, choose his gender, nationality and even which cuisine he wants to be the chef the most.
Don't look at this kind of setting that has become old in later generations, the earliest game that can allow players to edit their own names is not born yet, and it has not even been put on the development schedule of "Dragon Quest", it is precisely because of this setting in DQ that it greatly enhances the player's sense of substitution, although the success of DQ is the reason for the extremely high quality of the game, but this setting is a great setting that can significantly improve the quality of the game.
Then Jester continued to think that making such a game actually had a lot to figure out about the Fire Emblem he was working on now - to be precise, the one he was going to make was also a non-standard simulation strategy RPG.
Of course, this game is more important in terms of role-playing than Fire Emblem.
There is a very important feature of this type of game, and Jester did not explain it to his development team at the beginning, just because it is not yet time, and the overall framework of the whole game has not been built, and there is no need to go too deep, as long as these talented or experienced designers will naturally find that this is not a loophole.
That's archiving.
In fact, at the beginning of the development of video games, because the game is simple and the plot is simple, it doesn't take much time for players to play it once, so no one will consider the problem of archiving, because what save is used for a game that is not used for an hour, even if it is not played once, it will be played later. However, with the development of video games, a game has more and more plots, more and more complex systems, and more and more capacity, when players have no way to play the game in a short period of time, and every time they play again, they need to play all over again, saving has become a must for both players and designers.
Of course, the development of video games has reached a tipping point where designers think of saves as a way to enhance gameplay, and it is precisely because of the advent of many large-capacity RPG games, including DQ, that will blow out from next year that the concept of saves has been born, and it has become a feature that a designer must consider when designing games in the future.
Jester, the world's first save game, is not clear, but as far as he knows, at least for now, he has not heard of a game that uses this feature, you know, this is not the future, there are perfect mobile storage devices or technology, and the current game console is relatively primitive, even he himself can't add storage hardware to the Dreambox.
Jester had talked to people in his hardware R&D department about this problem before, and Jester also used an example of Nintendo's success in later generations as an illustration, can you add a battery and a small capacity writable memory chip to the game cartridge, so that this cartridge has the function of storing the number of jù?
After some arguments from the hardware department, I think Jester's proposal is completely feasible, but because it has just started research and development, the sample Jester has not yet seen, but according to the person in charge of the hardware department, this is not a too difficult research and development project, at most there will be results in one or two months, and even if there are no difficulties in the research and development process, it is possible to produce samples in a week.
Jester didn't have any doubts about this, after all, it was a technology that Nintendo could do at the same time - Nintendo could do it, and there was no reason why they couldn't.
Originally, this technology was prepared for "Fire Emblem", and now Jester has thought of this game that is going to be made for Sega, so of course he can continue to use it, and Jester is also ready to make this game zuò extremely sophisticated, he is not worried about increasing sales for Sega because the game is too good, because although this game is out of Sega's game console, the copyright is in his own hands.
In other words, he can take this opportunity to release a sequel on his game console to attract a large number of Sega gamers.
The least thing to worry about in this niche game is the loyalty of the players.
When he thought about things, he didn't feel that time passed quickly, although Jester had watched the consommé that was boiling a few times, but after he had gone through the feasibility of the whole game in his mind, and made sure that this game could indeed be made, Jester, who felt a little tired, stretched his waist and glanced at the time displayed on the watch on his wrist - more than two hours had passed since he came out of the bathroom shower.
Then, he turned his head to look out the window again, there were no stars in the dark night sky, London had the nickname of the fog capital more than a hundred years ago, and it was deeply affected by smog, although there have been many treatments in recent years, but it still has little effect.
Before coming to the soup pot again, Jester glanced at the yellowing broth that had been boiled inside, he estimated that the time was almost up, although it was said that a pot of good clear soup needed to be boiled for more than 20 hours, but this was including the time to hang the soup, Jester roughly calculated the time it would take to hang the soup three times, plus the soup used up before, more than 20 hours is the least.
In Chinese clear soup, the two most important factors that determine the quality of clear soup are the boiling time, the control of the heat during boiling and the materials used in boiling, and the second is the quality of the hanging soup.
The top-quality clear soup is definitely as clear as water, and there will definitely be many people who wonder, how is this possible? How can the soup made from chicken, duck, fish, ham, various seafood, scallops and other ingredients be as clear as water? This is true, even if all the ingredients are fished out of the freshly cooked clear soup and then filtered with a filter cloth, it is still inevitable that a lot of dregs that cannot be filtered will be left, and the so-called hanging soup is a special method to absorb all the unfiltered dregs in the boiled clear soup together, so that the turbid clear soup becomes clear.
In this way, whether it is in appearance or taste, there is a geometric progression-like improvement.
While thinking so, Jester picked up the soup pot and used a tool to first remove all the ingredients inside, in fact, the best ingredient for boiling clear soup is the old hen, the older the better, the duck, preferably the female, it is best to add ham and scallops, so the clear soup boiled out is naturally extremely delicious.
After taking out these boiled ingredients, Jester poured the pot of soup on the filter cloth he had prepared in advance, and under the filter cloth was the container, and then skimmed out the oil slick with a spoon, some people think that the oil slick will be fragrant, but in fact this is wrong, these oil slicks are not fragrant, but pasty, greasy, very affect the soup color and taste of the clear soup, so it must be removed.
Next, it's the soup.
The clear soup after hanging soup also has another name, called top soup - as the name suggests, it is the top clear soup.
The so-called hanging soup is the process of boiling again with another material that can absorb various dregs that affect the color and taste of the clear soup, and each one has a different material in the hanging soup, according to what Jester heard from his grandfather, their faction, according to the different dishes to be made, have several completely different soup recipes, and each kind of hanging soup is different, and can play a completely different soup taste.
And Jester chose the most commonly used way to make boiling water cabbage, chicken soup.
It's very simple to say, in fact, it is to chop raw chicken into minced meat, add green onions, ginger, cooking wine and an appropriate amount of water to soak, wrap it in gauze, put it in the boiled soup and continue to boil.
Just as Jester adjusted the temperature of the fire and stirred it slowly, the light suddenly went out.
At the same time, Jester's nose also smelled a nice scent, which was similar to the scent of shower gel on Claudia's body that he had smelled earlier after Claudia had just finished washing.
Then, Jester felt two warm arms wrap around his neck from behind.
A sweet lip kissed his mouth. R1152
