Chapter 683: Morale Shakes

The celebration party held by the development team itself is of course completely different from that of the company.

The company will open for you, and there will be heavyweights to attend, which naturally represents the company's attention to your project, which is not for the outside world, but for other people in the company.

Got this assurance, Jest, Rob. Pardo is also in a good mood.

Although it will be the official release of Diablo in a while, he is not as worried as he was before he met Jester.

After all, Jester said that this is a game that can sell millions of copies, and Jester rarely predicts the sales of a game that has not yet been released with such certainty, but any game he predicts has never missed, and he has always said less, that is, if Jester says that a game can sell a million copies, then the game is likely to sell 1.5 million or more.

Although many people in the company are optimistic that Diablo will make the two of them an instant hit, no one dares to predict that they will sell a million copies.

It's okay if it's a console game, and most importantly, it's a pure PC game.

And if a PC game wants to sell a million copies, how can it be twice as difficult as a console game?

Rob. Pardo didn't hide it, and when he returned to the development team, some curious people naturally asked him what he had talked about with Jester.

He didn't say anything about "Heroes of Invincible" and "Diablo 2", after all, this has not been officially announced, and saying it will inevitably affect the final BUG handling work of the game, although this part of the work is very small, but it is indeed the most important thing for a game. Rob. Pardo didn't want the bug to affect the sales of his game.

So, he just said something casually.

And in order to boost morale, he also talked about Jester's prediction of the game's sales.

One million sets!

This number really made everyone in the development team excited, as employees of Mars Entertainment, they naturally knew that their boss had never missed a game sales forecast, and. According to the company's bonus distribution for the development team, a game with a million sales and a team of 20 people can basically give at least 10,000 dollars in bonuses each!

That's basically half a year's worth of their salary.

This is also for the reason why these game developers like to go to large companies, because in addition to the fact that large companies can develop more than small companies, they are extraordinarily generous in terms of bonuses.

Although large companies give more salaries than small companies, they are not much more. Moreover, in a large company, you may just be an ordinary member, without the slightest speciality, and in a small company, you may be a core member. Power and freedom are both quite large, so there is no comparison between the two.

But for a game developed by a small company, maybe 200,000 copies is a remarkable number.

PC games can make a lot of money, but if it's a console game. Just the royalty is first exploited by those hardware vendors.

And the most important thing is that small companies rely on the money earned from these sales to survive, when it comes to bonuses. It is definitely not as generous as a large company, and a company like Mars Entertainment, hundreds of thousands of copies of a game are all foundational, and everyone involved is not a problem with tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses, even if it is the development of a game a year, then it is equivalent to getting two years of salary a year.

That's still at least.

If it reaches one million, then the average general may be able to reach 100,000 dollars, which is an incomparably tempting figure in this era.

So, in Rob. After Pardo said the news of one million sets, the development team must have started to discuss it, and it can be seen with the naked eye that the morale of the development team has obviously improved a lot.

What happened after that was a bit out of the way Rob. Pardo's anticipation.

Because everyone has a heart to show off, and he didn't let the members of the team keep it a secret, so before it was time to leave work in the afternoon, almost all of their colleagues in the East End knew that Jester said that Diablo would sell a million copies.

In Mars Entertainment, no one dares to question Jester's authority, and even if there is, no one dares to say it blatantly.

There have always been people who have been interested in Rob. Pardo & Mike. Mo Huaimi was dissatisfied with being able to get the leading development rights of the game "Diablo", after all, in terms of qualifications, they are not the oldest, the most level, they are also many of the highest, the most popular, they are not the best, even in terms of the relationship with the high-level, they are not the hardest.

However, the development rights of this game, Jester was handed over to these two people.

This makes many people very jealous, within Mars Entertainment, the competition is very fierce, and most of the best producers will apply to set up their own studios after becoming famous, and some will leave the company directly and set up their own game companies.

Internally, the company will not resist this situation, but will also provide some support for these people who were originally in Mars Entertainment on the game platform.

Therefore, these are also considered to be the descendants of Mars entertainment.

Then, all the ordinary researchers, are thinking that they will have that day, before Itagaki Companion was reused by Jester, after the development of "Shadow Blade", he was immediately in charge of "Iron Fist", "Iron Fist" has been officially launched before, very successful, this is a very hardcore fighting game, and itagaki Companion has also added the tyrant system and the milk-shaking system for the first time.

It is even more popular with players.

It took only two months for the arcade arcade fighting games that swept through Japan and the United States, and even Sega just launched "VR Fighter 2" could not stop the fierce offensive of "Tekken".

However, Yu Suzuki also commented on the matter of "VR Fighter 2" before.

Yu Suzuki is still working in the 'times' project team,After the launch of "VR Warrior 2", naturally some media asked his opinion on this game symbol that does not meet his heart's "VR Warrior 2", but I didn't expect Suzuki Yu to not give his company face at all, and even his attitude was a little angry, he said very politely, he said, "VR Warrior 2" is a game that is not worthy of being put on sale.
