"What game excites me?"

Silently reciting Jester's previous question, Sean. Dabilee was silent for a moment, thinking about what game he would most like to play right now.

It didn't make Jester wait long, Sean. Dabilee thought quickly, just a few seconds, he came up with the answer, he looked at Jester, and said in a very firm tone: "BOSS, I can't say what kind of game can make me excited, but I think first of all, the game that can make me excited is definitely the game I want to play, the game I want to play the most now, is the "Fire Emblem" that you are making, you know, I like DND very much, and I also like Western fantasy novels very much. The love of Genesis is well known within the company, so I'm really eager for the game you're working on in this style. ”

This answer really surprised Vice Jester, who glanced at it in amazement, and a thought flashed through his mind. Darbilee wouldn't want to be on his own Fire Emblem development team, would he?

Sean. Dabilee obviously also saw the change in Jester's expression, obviously, he knew that Jester had misunderstood what he meant, so he immediately explained: "I don't want to enter your "Fire Emblem" development team, I also know that after the development of a game is halfway through, casually joining a person who has no experience in the development of this game will not only not speed up the progress of game development, but will delay the progress, I just said, I want to make the game type of zuò, Could it also be related to magical themes such as DND? ”

Now Jester understands Sean. Darbilee's meaning, but in his memory, he doesn't remember much DND-style games, and this kind of game wants to be very brilliant, and it is not easy to make it with the technology and hardware conditions of this era, but Jester thought about it carefully, and he really thought of a game that was similar to Sean. Darbilee's description of the game is very related, but this game wants to be perfectly presented under the current hardware conditions is a bit cannibalistic, but the castrated version, Jester thinks it is still possible to try, after all, his company has successfully completed the quality of "The Avengers" This quality of the full reel action pass, although difficult, but not impossible to challenge.

But before that, Jester still needs to ask, Sean. What platform does Darbilee prefer to develop games on?

"I do have an idea here, and it might fit yours, but before I say it, I want to ask, Sean, what platform do you prefer to develop games on? Dreambox or arcade? ”

Hearing Jester's question, Sean. Dabilee hesitated for a moment, his eyebrows furrowed, and only slowly released after a few seconds, obviously after some intense thinking, in the face of Jester's question, he obviously didn't have a very accurate conclusion before, but after his eyebrows were released, the expression on his face became determined, obviously, he also had his own decision.

"Arcade platform." When he spoke, Sean. Dabilee no longer had the hesitation when he was thinking, but his tone became very conclusive, "After all, there is a certain gap between the performance of home machines and arcade machines, compared to arcade machines, making zuò games on home machines, some are like dancing with shackles, some ideas can not be played well, and even some very desired effects cannot be achieved." ”

Listened to Sean. Dabilee's answer,Jester couldn't help but nodded,Now,It's true,And in a short period of time,It's hard to change,Until Jester was reborn,Arcade technology is also going to be in front of home machines,Basically, the new technologies that mature on home machines in later generations are now in the arcade field and completed,As far as Jester knows,The kind of full-coverage game warehouse he only said in the novel,It's been born in the arcade field in the era when he traveled through。

But he's only heard about it, he hasn't played it, and he doesn't know the specific effect, what the hell it is.

"Well, I do have a very interesting idea here, a Western fantasy style story, suitable for arcade platforms, but it's not DND, it's just an adaptation of a famous legend, and then I added a very different system, not an RPG game, to be precise, it's not what you understand, and it's not an RPG game that we generally refer to, if you have to say something similar, it may be the same as the previous Mark. Saini's "The Avengers" is somewhat similar, but it is only similar, not identical. ”

Jester was reminiscing about this classic game in his mind while considering what to say to Sean. Dabilee introduced, because he was thinking and saying at the same time, so in the description, it was not very emotional, and the meaning of the expression was also a little intermittent, but the basic meaning he expressed, and Sean. Dabilee also heeded him.

When Jester was heard mentioning "The Avengers", Sean . Dabilee's eyes also suddenly lit up, he personally likes this game, but compared to this kind of game with a modern fighting theme, he likes the ancient background more, and then he quickly used the game "Avenger" in his mind to carry out his imaginary, like the theme of the replacement - the player can control the character into a samurai wearing a suit of armor and holding a big sword, splitting the enemy in half with a sword or turning it into a slap in the face of a game that is good at archery, A single sword pierces the enemy through a duel......

Thinking about it, I don't know where I touched Sean. Dabilee's G-spot made him involuntarily excited.

Then, he looked at Jester with a look of longing in his eyes.

Although there were Sega's people present, Jester did not shy away from it at all, because he didn't plan to say it in detail here, just to talk about a head, and then the specific framework content setting and so on, he would naturally talk to Sean alone. Dabili came to communicate privately.

Jester didn't directly start talking about the game he had in mind, but smiled and continued to ask Sean. Darbilee asked, "Sean, do you know the story of King Arthur?" ”

Dabilee nodded without hesitation when he heard it, the legend of King Arthur has been widely spread for hundreds of years, he is interested in Western fantasy, and of course he is familiar with the story of King Arthur's sword in the stone and Merlin, because the story of King Arthur is too classic.

"That's good." When Jester saw Dabilee's reply, he no longer sold it, but nodded, and continued, "The protagonist of this game I envisioned is King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, of course, there are too many Knights of the Round Table to join all, but we can choose a few of the most representative characters as the protagonists we can choose, give them different weapons, different ways of fighting......"

As Jester's description of the game becomes more detailed, not just Sean. Dabili, everyone present, including Yu Suzuki, who had been silent on the sidelines, was also a little moved.

The game that Jester had in mind before was the culmination of the arcade action beat 'em up game "Knights of the Round Table", which was Capcom's reign in the era of action beat 'em up games that dominated the entire late eighties to the early nineties, and developed a game that included "Three Kingdoms Devouring the World", "Famous Generals", "Dinosaurs and Cadillac" and so on and countless other fascinating games of the same kind, so to speak, "Knights of the Round Table" is the pinnacle of this type of game.

Of course, in Jester's eyes, although Knights of the Round Table is the pinnacle of this type of game, perfecting almost all the systems of this type of game, including the most amazing item system, then again, after this game, although the same type of games have not been able to break through the framework of the rules laid by Knights of the Round Table in terms of this type of game, there are still many games that have made a lot of amazing innovations in this framework.

For example, later Xiangxiang Electronics was based on "Knights of the Round Table" to make two games "Journey to the West" and "Three Kingdoms". In particular, the innovation made by "Three Kingdoms" in this type of game, the use of various hidden elements has been improved a lot compared to "Knights of the Round Table", of course, if you want to complete the world now, after Capcom developed the CPS1 motherboard, it is obviously unlikely, although the sixteen-bit arcade substrate on Jester's side has been tested for several months, but there is still a gap between the performance that the sixteen-bit arcade base version can achieve.

Such a motherboard may be capable of carrying a game like "Avengers", but it is still impossible to carry a game like "Samurai of the Round Table" that improves the price of the entire system after the beat 'em up action game has reached its peak, not to mention that in all aspects of the system props, content, etc., it is more rich and complex than "Samurai of the Round Table".

Therefore, Jester was a little hesitant when he thought of this game before, and he was not sure whether the castration of "Knights of the Round Table" could be completed under the current hardware conditions, only to say that it was a very challenging plan.

Just briefly explained the idea of this game, leaving the essence of this game prop system without explanation, Jester clapped his hands and stood up, he looked at the time, and said to the people present with a smile: "It's not too early, I still have to bring a few guests from Sega to visit our company, so I left first, you can continue to discuss." ”

After saying that, Jester greeted Yu Suzuki, and at the same time, as he left, he looked at Sean. Dabilee glanced at him, and the latter nodded silently, apparently, he understood what Jester meant, his boss, in this game he had just described about King Arthur, there was obviously something that had not been said in front of so many people.
