Maybe it's really providential.

In the end, the person who supported the giant Sega from falling would be a fan of Nintendo, which can be regarded as a trick of creation.

And Minoru Nakoshi as a Nintendo fan has never changed, when Sega later decided to completely withdraw from the development of home consoles and make the decision to develop cross-platform games, he was the first to stand up to develop games for Nintendo's NGC.

Even, when Nintendo was sprayed by players whose age was too low.

This person who develops games with money, violence, and women as the core will even come out to defend Nintendo at the first time, even though he is not an employee of Nintendo.

He said.

“…… I think that games that can be played well by children can also be popular among adults. The emphasis on age may be due to the fact that the industry is now too concerned about appealing to the class with spending power. I'm not trying to deny the special cultural games themselves as an adult orientation, but at least as long as I make games for family use, I will think of the games that the younger age group "can" play as my main axis. ”

Of course, Minoru Nakoshi was able to have such a high status in the game industry in later generations, and it was naturally not because he just developed a few excellent games.

Some of his ideas on game development have been regarded as guidelines by many game developers.

For example.

Ten years ago, the development of a game may cost millions of yen, but because of the improvement of game console hardware, the content of game production is complicated, and the requirements for quality are getting higher and higher.

Therefore, as a game producer, it is not enough to just propose a business plan. It is necessary to grasp the characteristics of the game in order to lead the development of a game, and the control of cost and time through coordination is the most important issue. Only by combining planning, art, programming, and sound effects within the budget cost can Zào make the most profits.

That is, the control of cost and time is the key to the game.

However, he also believes that the popularity of the Internet has changed the way games are played.

Downloading via the Internet, such as the SEGAIC magnetic card memory system to take the game records with you, allows players to play anytime and anywhere.

Another point of observation is the impact of location on digital entertainment, such as theme parks or video game parks, which have the characteristics of localization, not to say that the same game console is equally popular in all amusement parks, so in addition to market research, it is necessary to propose countermeasures for the market. Theme parks are popular with children, but for adults, there are also playgrounds with alcoholic beverages.

In terms of platforms, there used to be a saying that one side of PC and TV would eventually disappear, but after a few years of development, the two sides still coexist, this is because different platforms have their own characteristics, which can be suitable for different types of games to operate on, and the other party cannot be replaced, for example, PC is suitable for online games. Playground instruments, on the other hand, are suitable for single-player games.

The so-called popularity of the game varies from place to place.

Then, he thinks that the most important thing is the last point, the passion for the game beyond a qiē.

Outside of the perception of location and localization, marketing is the first way to get the attention of players. The next step is to rely on technology to further attract players, but on top of this qiē is the enthusiasm of the game makers.

He said that he started as a basic game planner for 15 years. When you are a member of the system, you must not understand the actual working methods of other departments, but you must have the enthusiasm to put forward your own opinions. He also encourages those who aspire to make a game. Human beings' requirements for games are endless, because the charm that games can bring is endless, and people in each era may have different ideas, but having enthusiasm and realizing it is constant, and it is also a part of his personal efforts.

Although it seems that the theory of these three days is a bit simple, in fact, there are not many people who can really do it, and Sega, after almost stepping into the coffin board, under the guidance of his game theory, got back on his feet.

Jester agreed to Minoru Nakoshi's request.

And Minoru Nakoshi also explained that although he is a fan of Nintendo's games, but now Nintendo's games are still inherited by other game manufacturers, for example, Sega inherited the series "Metroid", and this is also his favorite game, and now he can be inherited by Sega, thinking that he will have the opportunity to make his favorite game in person in the future.

That's also a very exciting thing.

Jester didn't spend much time in Japan, and after dealing with the "Shadow Blade" submitted to Sega for review, and then meeting with Yu Suzuki to discuss the progress of the combat system, he was going back to the United States, because he was responsible for all the things of the entire "Era" project, close to ten different development teams, and there were a lot of things to deal with and coordinate.

Moreover, although "Shadow Blade" is responsible for the production of Itagaki Companion, but he did not personally check the game, Jester is still a little uneasy.

After all, if the game is released, the results are not satisfactory, and the person who will be scolded is himself.

The theme of this game that Jester wants to make is actually very simple, that is, heroes, so, if this theme is not clear, then there is no way to develop the history of games, first of all, it is necessary to let people know what is called heroes.

Jester handed the matter over to Fu Zhan's team.

After all, a team that was born and raised in China and knows the domestic culture best is the most suitable for this task.

A few days after Jester returned to the United States from Japan, Fu Zan came from China to report to him that this time not only did he come by himself, but he also brought two assistants with him.

In addition to these two people being interpreters of the theme of game heroes, these two people also have to intern at Mars Entertainment for a period of time, which is what Fu Zan promised each other when recruiting these two people, you know, in the current country, if there is no condition to go abroad, then it is difficult to recruit people from the top universities in China.

"One from Tsinghua University, one from Peking University."

When Fu Zan met with Jester, he briefly introduced the situation of the two to Jester, and then Jester asked about the English level of the two people, and after getting Fu Zhan's affirmative answer, Jester arranged the two directly to the "Shadow Blade" development team of Itagaki Companion Nobu, after all, this development team is what he will often pay attention to during this time.

It's also easier to get a sense of their status.

In the end, Jester picked up the text prepared by Fu Zan and looked at it, which was the interpretation of Haoxia that Jester asked him to do.

However, after just a few casual glances, Jester frowned.

Because that's not what he wants to see.

After a little muttering, Jester threw the Wen Jiàn clip in his hand on the table, he looked up at Fu Zhan, who was a little strange, and it seemed that he didn't know why Jester would throw the Wen Jiàn who only looked at it a few times aside.

"You did this with the two top students you just hired?"

Jester didn't directly say what he was dissatisfied with, but opened his mouth to inquire first.

And Fu Zan couldn't figure out what Jester meant, so he could only nod: "Yes, yes, this is what I did with them." ”

After hearing Fu Zhan's answer, Jester suddenly laughed.

"You all like to read Jin Yong's novels."

Suddenly, Jester asked, and then Fu Zan still nodded, although he didn't understand why Jester asked, but he felt that it was not a wrong thing to like reading Jin Yong's novels, after all, heroes and martial arts are similar things, reading Jin Yong's novels also helps to understand the artistic conception of this game, which is easy to understand.

After receiving Fu Zhan's affirmative reply, Jester continued to smile.

"That's right, in this article, you understand the concept of heroism in the Spring and Autumn Period that I said as the concept of martial arts after being distorted and distorted by Jin Yong, which is really at odds with the concept of heroism that I wanted you to elaborate at the beginning."

Jester directly said why he was dissatisfied before: "Haoxia is not a martial artist, you have to understand this matter...... Have you seen the game biography? There's a sentence in it, and it's actually very good...... I want to think about ......"

As he spoke, Jester was silent for a while, probably recalling the content of "The Legend of the Ranger".

"Taishi Gong's book says this, words must be done, deeds must be fruitful, promises must be sincere, do not love their bodies, go to the difficulties of scholars, and those who recite righteousness for thousands of miles are also said, stand up, be a blessing, make personal friends, and be strong in the world. This is actually very clear, the hero I want is a hero with such a spirit, in today's words, it is a kind of chivalrous spirit, that is, the historical records say that it is a heroic man, that is, a heroic man who acts willfully and righteously with his will and force. ”

"Do you understand that?"

After Jester finished speaking, Fu Zhan's face became a little sluggish, he hadn't been so far away before.

Because he felt that the kind of chivalrous way expounded in Jin Yong's novel was very much in his mind, so he used it directly, but he didn't expect it, but he completely understood what Jester meant.

After seeing Fu Zhan's expression, Jester also knew the result.

But he wasn't much angry.

just sighed and continued: "Forget it, I'll do this myself, what you do after that is to complete the details of some of our game's costumes, buildings, and so on." (To be continued......)
