Chapter 212 Jam Electronics

Jester heard an interesting thing in Fengxing Entertainment, where he hadn't been to for a long time.

Recently, one of their department that received letters from outside third parties received a very special package. In fact, putting aside the others, it was just a very simple package to submit, which contained the designer's name, address and the game they submitted.

Jester knew that there were actually many talented designers hidden in the United States, and there was no sound video game talent selection mechanism in the United States like Japan. So in order to find the kindness he liked from these lovers hidden among the people, he launched this department and specifically accepted the submissions of these people. If the game is really good, he would buy out and share the money.

So far, in addition to the Card God, which has long been incorporated by Jester, four individually made games have been released through Fengxing Game Distribution Company. The most one has sold nearly 100,000 copies. These people have also accepted Jester's invitation to join Mars Entertainment.

However, this time the submission was a bit special. According to the review opinion of the review department, this game is pretty good. It logically cannot meet the conditions for release, but they hesitated that it was because the only two middle school students who had just entered middle school were created.

"Two twelve or thirteen years old?"

Jester was also quite surprised when he heard this news. He didn't think that it was incredible that such a young child could make excellent games. After all, there was an example of the God of Cards first, but he felt that such a genius always hit him.

So, Jester decided to see what the game made by these two twelve-year-olds really have.

Then make your own decision.

Originally, the acceptance department could cooperate with these two children in the next step, but the approval from the superior department was required.

Just as Jester came to the company today, so this matter was reported to him. After all, when talking about whether a game has potential, there should be no other person in the world who has Jester's ability.

This game runs on Apple ii computers, and I think so. Designers of this era cannot buy expensive development machines to develop games on home game consoles, and even if developed, it is difficult to get the opportunity to be released. On the contrary, it is developed on popular personal computers like Apple ii, which are very popular and favored by these young first-generation developers.

Of course, Fengxing Game Distribution Company not only releases home console games for Mars Entertainment, but also sells PC games.

Jester plugged the floppy disk into an Apple computer and started to try out the game.

Half an hour later, Jester left the keyboard, and the computer screen was still flashing with a slightly cartoon-like game screen called "Crazy Skiing", and Jester's face showed a smile.

He picked up the phone and said simply: "Send the information of these two developers."

Soon after reading the information sent by the staff of Fengxing Games, Jester's face showed a look of surprise. In fact, when he saw the two middle school students who were only twelve or thirteen years old in the information, they actually called Jam Software, Jester immediately realized that he seemed to have found a treasure. Sure enough, when he saw the names of these two people, he was even more sure that he had actually found a treasure.

Jason Robin and Andy Gavin, these two twelve-year-old middle school students, their other identity. They are the founder of the famous Naughty Dog in Jester's memory.

Jester has never heard of this game called "Crazy Skiing", and he doesn't know whether these two people have never made such a game in their original history. However, after Jester tried it, he saw the talent of these two young people in the game from this game. Although only from the game point of view, this can only be said to be a game that can barely be qualified for the evaluation.

Therefore, the evaluation made by the company that it cannot be issued is also very reasonable.

However, considering that these are just two young people, if Jester decides, he will give these two people a chance. This is not because he knows how great these two people will be in the future, but because he really sees the talent of these two people from this slightly rough game. You know, this game was made by two children who are only twelve years old. They even make much better than those adults.

Jester personally dialed according to the contact number left in the package.

The voice of a mature man who answered the phone was when he heard Jester say he was looking for Jason Robin and Andy Gavin who made the jam software for "Crazy Skiing". There was a loud shouting sound from the other side of the phone. In less than a minute, there was a child's childish voice that could be easily identified through the phone.

"You-Hello, I'm Andy, Andy Gavin!"

From the voice of this child, Jester could clearly hear a faint expectation in the excitement.

"Hello, Andy, I'm Jester Lee released by Fengxing Games..." Jester thought it would be better to introduce himself first, but just after he said his name, he could hear a very obvious cheer from the other end of the phone, and an incredible smell came out of the voice. And after the cheers, Andy Gavin continued to scream again.

Jester could vaguely hear Andy Gavin's voice from the phone, as if shouting to his father: "Dad, dad, it's Jester Lee's phone! It's Jester Lee's phone!"

After nearly a minute, Andy Gavin seemed to remember that there was someone on the other end of the phone. He quickly shouted anxiously at the phone microphone: "Li, Li, are you still here? I am your fan! I have played every game of yours!"

Jester naturally would not hang up the phone. When he heard Andy Gavin's words, he just smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you for your support, but I called you today not to know that you are my fan. Although this excites me, the meaning of my call is to tell you that your "Crazy Skiing" is well made. After trying it, I think you two are very talented in designing games. So if you can, can you invite you to California and come to the headquarters of Mars Entertainment? I want to have a careful and serious conversation with you..."

This time, just like the last time, and before Jester finished speaking, Andy Gavin's scream came from the other end of the phone again. His tone this time was more shocking and incredible than before, "Is it true? Can I go to the headquarters of Mars Entertainment? Can I meet Mark Seney? Can I meet Sid Mel? Can I meet you?"

Jester said yes, yes without hesitation.

Many things cannot be discussed on the phone, so Jester did not talk too much about their games with Andy Gavin on the phone. Obviously, although Andy Gavin was also very interested in their games, this interest seemed to be far from being interested in his idol. He kept dragging Jester to ask questions, asking some problems he encountered in the game, and some even some very interesting bugs.

However, Jester just smiled at the so-called game bugs discovered by Andy Gavin, "Gavin, in fact, you will know these problems clearly after you come to our company. Some talented designers like to reflect their understanding of games in games, and some programmers are the same. They will sign some programs, and how will the game programmers add their own marks to the games they write to indicate that this is what I wrote? They will deliberately leave some interesting bugs in the game that do not affect the game. These bugs are all kinds of strange things, and there are everything..."

The phone talked for a long time, but in the end, Jester hung up the phone if he had something urgent to leave.

The moment Jester hung up the phone, Andy Gavin's face still had an extremely surprised look. It took him a minute or two to recover from this expression. Then he threw the phone receiver he was holding tightly in his hand to the side, and then he jumped up like uncontrollably, shouting while jumping, his face full of unconcealed excitement.

He kept venting his emotions like he was crazy for a few minutes. Andy Gavin seemed to remember that he had nothing to do, and then he slapped his head, "Oh no! Forgot to notify Jason!"

While shouting like this, he was rushing to pick up the phone receiver he threw out from the ground, and broadcast a phone number.

Maybe it was because I slept too much last night, and the sound from the other end of the phone was a little sleepy.

"Andy, what's wrong with you calling - didn't I tell you that I had to stay up late yesterday to solve a technical problem...what!" It should be that Jason Robin, who heard something extremely critical on the phone and had sleepy eyes, immediately widened his eyes, but his eyes were filled with disbelief, "You tm said that Jester Lee, the greatest game designer in the world, my only idol called you and asked us to visit Mars Entertainment. Moreover, your tm actually chatted with my idol for an hour and was not sure to shout over!"

At the end of his speech, Jason Robin's tone became polite.

From his almost hysterical roar, it can be seen that he is in a very bad mood at this time. (To be continued)
