It is probably best to describe the situation in this room at this moment.

Jester looked at his subordinates with a somewhat serious expression, and he was not used to it.

Although he is the founder, and current leader of the company, and is the spiritual leader of the company, in general, people like to discuss with each other during meetings, such as their game development staff.

It's still rare when it's quiet.

"I know you're all wondering if I'm looking for you guys today for that so-called mysterious new game that has been rumored outside......"

Jester smiled and paused slightly as he said this.

Then, you can clearly see that the expression on everyone's face has changed imperceptibly in an instant.

Clearly, everyone was focused on what Jester was about to say.

A few people even held their breath.

For example, being able to participate in the core team of Jester's potentially epoch-making game development is a great satisfaction for each and every one of them.

Jester didn't say it directly, though.

“…… If I say no, your current motivation may be reduced by half in an instant, but I still don't want to say it so early, of course, I don't say it naturally for a reason, I came to you to do two things, the first thing, is to hear your understanding of the MMORPG game genre, and the second thing, when the first thing is done, I'll talk about it. ”

After saying that, Jester looked around at the crowd and decided who to start with.

For MMORPG this game genre. None of you are unfamiliar here, after all, this game type was created by Mars Entertainment.

More than 20 people talked about their opinions one after another, and the time was still very long, about 10 minutes per person on average. It takes 200 minutes for 20 people, which is more than 3 hours.

It's a tedious process, but it's interesting for Jester to hear what some of the best designers on the planet have to say about the MMORPG genre in this era.

Especially if there is a future to refer to.

It gives Jester the feeling that he is looking down on everything through God's vision.

Some people are very interested in this not very popular game genre, and even say that he is a big fan of the online Genesis series, but he has little interest in Mars Entertainment's own dark-oriented MMORPG game.

Of course. There are also people who are not interested in this type of game, and they are more willing to play RPG games on the standalone.

In general, almost everyone has a different opinion.

After everyone had stated their opinions, Jester listened and took notes, which were about seven or eight pages long.

He skimmed the notes aside.

Then he named six or seven people, and then said with a smile: "You can go back first, I think from what you just said, I think you may not be too suitable to participate in this project." Because you don't have enough enthusiasm and passion for the projects I might be starting with. ”

The looks on the faces of the people who were named were naturally extremely regretful.

But the people just shook their heads. Didn't say anything.

They also know the rules of Jester's game development, and all the core developers needed for his game must be people who have a very passionate passion for the genre.

Because Jester firmly believes that it is only the gamers who can develop good games.

Because only gamers are developing the game when it comes to it. will always put how to make the game more fun in the first place.

Looking at the remaining seventeen people on the scene, Jester thought for a moment: "I'm not sure if you're the ones I'm looking for, the ones I'm going to create a new game world with me from scratch, but the second thing will help me judge this." ”

As he spoke, Jester handed everyone a document about EverQuest. Ran said: "Take a closer look at this document in your hand, understand this game, this game will start a small test in two months, we will help you get the test account, I need you to go to this game, to understand the advantages and disadvantages of this game, by the end of this year, we will once again call you to listen to your report - if your answer can satisfy me, then you can participate in my project as soon as possible." ”

For the new game "Endless Quest", not all of the seventeen people present have not heard of it.

There are a few things that I keep an eye on this game all the time.

In fact, the rest of the people have also guessed what the genre of Jester's new game is, and, judging from Jester's importance to the game "Endless Quest", which has not yet been released, it is very likely that the content of the new game will be similar to this game.

It's reminiscent of the previous incident when Jester asked people to set up the world of Azeroth.

When all this runs through it, it's not hard to guess what kind of game Jester's new mysterious new work is.

A world built by the content and plot of the WAR series, a massively multiplayer online RPG game.

Judging by the expressions on everyone's faces, Jester also knew that these people had already guessed the type of his new game, but he bet that these people would never have imagined how far he wanted to go with this new game.

Basically, a little bit of wind and grass in Mars entertainment will be known by some media in the outside world.

However, the people who participated in Jester's seminar this time were all core members of Mars Entertainment, and they all knew the rules of Mars Entertainment, so the content of the seminar was not leaked.

However, the outside world still knows that Jester suddenly gathered so many elite developers from the entire Mars Entertainment together to discuss something. It's very likely that it's the mysterious new game that Jester has been keeping secret, and other than that, they really can't think of any other project that can allow so many elites of Mars Entertainment to participate in a discussion meeting at the same time.

But this time. There is no way for the media or the players on the forums to analyze the type of new game through the people selected by Jester.

Because this time, Jester has chosen any kind of game type designer.

However, I am still extremely curious about this matter on the forum.

Because during this period of time, Jester's game development style is that after the end of the game, the development of the next game will officially begin, such as this new Super Balotelli series has not yet started development, and the next game is being prepared, which is still relatively common in the early days of Jester's game development career, but it is rare now.

After all, the project is now huge. Almost all of a designer's time is spent thinking about how to design, and there is basically not enough time to juggle a second project.

If you have the energy to take care of the second project, it is better to put all your energy into one project.

Make this project even better.

A lot of people ask this question on the forums, but Jester doesn't have time to flood the community during this time, he's going to the UK soon, and he's going to start promoting the official launch of Monster Hunter as soon as he returns from the UK. And the plot text of WOW, as well as the preliminary setting of the mission.

These things take a lot of time.

Jester looked at the resignation report in his hand. This is a meritorious employee of his own company who has resigned, and has been in charge of many big projects, and even served as his deputy when he was in the "Hero" project.

Now he is the company's technical director.

Jester was a little surprised by the other party's resignation, because the previous cooperation had been very pleasant. At a previous high-level meeting, Jester also invited the other party to go to his private island and go fishing together when he was on vacation.

"Why do you want to leave your job?"

Jester asked seriously, and, Jester thought. If the other party is still willing to work in the game industry, then there is no place that can make him feel more comfortable than Mars Entertainment.

Jeff Ming, who is also a meritorious employee of Mars Entertainment, is also a little embarrassed, after all, the sudden resignation is indeed a difficult behavior to understand.

"Mainly my wife, she wants to go to the east to live, and she doesn't really like my way of working day and night once you're involved in a project, and we already have children, so ......"

What the other party said was for some family reasons, and Jester listened quietly, and he couldn't do anything about it.

"Well, I can only wish you good luck."

Jester said as he wrote his name on his resignation application, "Can you tell me about your next job?" ”

"Microsoft."

After the other party left, Jester also sighed, there is no way to do the flow of personnel, in fact, in the game industry, the frequent turnover of personnel is normal, of course, any game company wants its personnel to be stable, but this is very difficult, and, no matter what you do, you have to get together and disperse, don't end up like Konami and Hideo Kojima.

After thinking about it for a long time, Jester felt that it was still necessary to learn some of the actions that Blizzard had made in order to increase the sense of belonging of employees.

Blizzard also knew that there was a lot of turnover in the industry, but a stable game company needed a stable development team.

So, they try to find ways to keep these employees on the development team for as long as possible.

That is, to reward some employees who have reached a certain number of years, and some collectible souvenirs.

For example, if you work at Blizzard for more than two years, you will receive a two-year cup, if you work for more than five years, you will receive a well-made five-year sword, if you work for more than ten years, you will receive a ten-year shield, if you work for more than fifteen years, you will get the fifteen-year ring, and if you work for more than twenty years, then you will receive a well-made helmet in the shape of an archangel.

I have to say that although these things are just some souvenirs, if they are really valuable, they may not be too valuable, but he still has a very high effect on the improvement of employees' sense of achievement and belonging.

Doing what you think of has always been Jester's style.

He quickly completed a draft of the copy, and then handed over the draft to his assistant to improve and polish, and naturally there was a special person in charge.

There is no problem with the passage of this matter, and it will be enough to mention it at the next high-level meeting.

The time to fly to the UK is the day after tomorrow, and if it weren't for the fact that this time happens to be the annual maintenance time for his private jet, then he might have flown to the UK.

After all, there is a lot more to his trip to England.

In addition to pulling the House brothers to himself, he also has to deal with some Manchester United club affairs.

As for the banquet of the British royal family, Jester didn't think it was very important.

The reason why he was able to participate was actually because of his wife's relationship, and in fact, he himself was not very interested in it.

But Claudia attaches great importance to this, and Jester can only accompany him to the end.

In fact, what Jester was thinking about during this time was that if he pulled the House brothers into his company, when they developed GTA3 and were scolded by the industry, would he have to bear the blame for them?

Later, after thinking about it for a long time, Jester suddenly felt that he was a little cautious.

What if it's carrying this pot?

Only by experiencing disasters together can we share the glory of the future together, and, in the case of their own supervision, the GTA series may not be like the original history, so many wind ~ waves, of course, wind ~ waves must be there, but the influence of this wind ~ wave is weakened, Jester is confident that it can still be done.

Moreover, I am different from the original T2.

At that time, T2 was just a small company that was not very big, and his influence in the United States was so big that he didn't need to look at anyone's face~ to do things.

In fact, even if it is really like GTA3 and GTASAN in the original history, a congressman, a Hillary attack, and now Jester has no influence at all, and the most important thing is that Jester is a supporter of the Republican Party, and it is of course natural to be attacked by people from the Democratic ~ Lord.
