After hearing his president's question.

He also frowned and opened his mouth, but the statement that Jester might have three hundred people just now really shocked him, and he didn't know how to answer his boss.

After all, he developed the game himself, and the development team he led was only 50 people at most, and it was in the recent development of "VR Warrior", which still counted some boxing masters invited to design the moves and movements of the characters in it, as well as the motion capture department that he had just joined, and the investment in this game that Jester said before would not be less than 200 million US dollars in R&D investment, which shocked him for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.

What is the concept of $200 million?

This Yu Suzuki is unimaginable, because he himself has not seen so much money.

The development team he led with the largest investment is "VR Warrior", and Sega is a well-known company in the industry that spares no expense in developing games, but despite this, the development investment of the entire "VR Warrior" has not exceeded three million US dollars, which is enough to rank in the top five numbers in the industry, even if it is considered the development team of Mars Entertainment.

And 200 million dollars?

Yu Suzuki didn't even know how to spend it, even if it was an occasion like this, the investment would definitely be exaggerated, but since Jester could be asked to directly say the figure of 200 million, then even if there was water, the investment that might be needed would be at least more than 100 million dollars.

After listening to it for a long time, Hayao Nakayama didn't wait for Yuki Suzuki's answer, but he didn't care either, because what Jester just said, five years of development time, and a development investment of 200 million US dollars. and the size of the development team of three hundred people, these news even stopped him, not to mention Yu Suzuki. And the reason why he asked, he didn't really want Yu Suzuki to answer.

It's just a way to express your shock.

Let's be honest. Can Sega come up with $200 million now? That's for sure, to do the game industry, it is to rely on sales, plus Sega also has arcade halls all over Japan, so Sega has a lot of money, and 200 million US dollars is a lot, but it is placed on a large company like Sega. Actually, it's not that you can't get it.

But it's one thing to be able to take it out, and it's another thing to be willing to put it into the development of a game.

Even to say something very realistic.

Even if Hayao Nakayama could get Sega's board of directors to agree to invest $200 million to develop a game that would take five years and 300 people to develop, even if Yulai Suzuki led the team, maybe Yuki Suzuki wouldn't know what kind of game to develop with this money.

At this time, Hayao Nakayama couldn't help but think of what Jester had said to him before.

Overall, Hayao Nakayama is a very aggressive entrepreneur, and, when it comes to game development. and always spares no expense, so, for the words that Jester said on the stage. Although he only believed in half of it, it was half of it, and it was also a big deal that he would never have done, and he also knew the purpose of Jester asking him to borrow Yu Suzuki.

Most likely, it's for his game.

"Suzuki ......"

After weighing the pros and cons twice in his heart, Hayao Nakayama felt that now was not the time to explain it to Yu Suzuki, so he hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "You are interested in Jester. Is there any interest in the game that Lee described? ”

This was a question that Suzuki Yu was confused.

Interest? The problem is just the things that Jester just described simply. He doesn't know what kind of game this is, only what kind of open-ended game he can choose freely. He did think about such a game, but only very simply. Didn't think about the real production of it.

Besides, even if he is interested, can the company really come up with Jester. Lee's investment to let him develop?

However, despite Yuki Suzuki's constant complaints in his heart, he still replied to Hayao Nakayama in a respectful tone: "President, as a game producer, I must be interested in encountering such a development project, even if I am an ordinary developer in it, it is also a kind of progress to be able to participate in the development of such a huge project and understand what such a huge development project is all about." ”

From Hiroshi Suzuki's tone, Hayao Nakayama could clearly hear a taste of envy.

Hearing the answer of his subordinates, Nakayama Hayao's expression changed, and then he was silent, to be honest, before this, Nakayama Hayao didn't care about the mention that Jester told him before that he wanted to borrow Suzuki Yu to help, because no matter what conditions Jester proposed, he would not agree, and no matter how amazing the game Jester was going to do and how amazing the treatment he gave, he was confident enough to give Suzuki Yu.

However, now that he knows the scale of the game Jester is going to do, his mind is also a little shaken.

However, Yu Suzuki is Sega's signboard, and if he wants to borrow it, Hayayao Nakayama will definitely not agree, needless to say that he will not agree, and the board of directors will not agree.

However, judging by the plan just announced by Jester.

It shows that Jester mentioned this matter to himself, and he was definitely prepared, so although he still has the idea of resolutely disagreeing with Jester's request, Hayao Nakayama really has it, and after the speech at the opening ceremony, he has magnified the conversation with Jester.

Hayao Nakayama also didn't tell Hiroaki Suzuki about the previous conversation he had with Jester.

After understanding Suzuki Yu's thoughts, he just nodded lightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute, Jester. After Lee's opening ceremony, he went with me to meet him in the lounge before, he had something he wanted to talk to you about ...... we we" Speaking of this, Hayao Nakayama paused slightly, but continued anyway: "...... It's about the game he just talked about. ”

Hearing his president say this, Yuzu Suzuki's eyes lit up.

Then he concentrated his mind and listened carefully to Jester's ongoing speech on the stage.

Jester continued to laugh as the surprise, surprise, and disbelief of the crowd had subsided slightly.

"Many of you may think I'm bragging, and then draw you some pies that look delicious, but in fact can't be eaten at all, but I can tell you very clearly that everything I say here is genuine, indeed, as you said, this is indeed an inedible pie, but this pie is only temporary, because it takes a very long time to make this pie, and it takes your patience."

"Because otherwise, how can you make the most delicious pie in the world?"

Saying that, Jester smiled: "I see that you still don't believe it, so let's do it, I will call me casually, you can all ask me a question, the question is about the game, of course, I can't go into detail about some specific details, so, I will only answer with yes or no, yes or no, and your question can only be about the game." ”

Then the audience once again erupted in the most enthusiastic cheers since Jester began to speak.

Actually, Jester didn't intend to say much, either.

Because I want to make this game, it is really more advanced than the games of this era, and it is too far ahead, needless to say that these current players, even if they are some players in later generations, many of them may not be able to tell the difference between sandbox games and open-world games.

Jester had encountered it many times before.

It seems that players in the future who have played a lot of games with development worlds or sandboxes or both, will always confuse sandbox games with development world games.

In fact, these two games are very different in nature.

Breaking it down in terms of game categories, these are two completely different types of games, but of course, in a broad sense, they can be said together.

Long story short.

To put it simply, the meaning of sandbox is very simple, the key point is that the player can make significant changes to the environment and behavior of the game through some mechanisms, just like a child playing with sand in a sandpit, he can do anything with sand, as he likes, so it is called a sandbox game, what kind of game is such a game?

Earlier games, robo-craft and besiege.

More recently, the most famous games are probably "Minecraft" or "Ark", which is the game that hunts domesticated dinosaurs.

Many people say that GTA5 is not strictly a sandbox.

This can be clearly stated, no, because although in GTA, you have a lot of choices, and in the end, there are many ways to end the story, but oh, no matter how you do it, these things are also designed for you by the designers in the game from the beginning.

In other words, this is not at all the result of doing what you want.

And what about open-world games?

This is better understood, as the name suggests, it refers to the fact that the player can wander around the world non-linearly, and the game flow does not forcibly limit the player's behavior

There are countless such games, such as the "GTA" mentioned earlier, such as "Old Roll 5", such as "Fallout", such as "World of Warcraft", yes, you read that right, it is "World of Warcraft".

Although World of Warcraft is an online game, it is also a true open-world game.

Of course, it's not uncommon for a sandbox to combine a free world game.

For example, World of Warcraft, which introduced a mirror image.
