Chapter 236 New Japan Project

Since he couldn't understand what Jester was talking about from his name, Mark Sene asked directly.

“What does blocking mean?”

Jester suddenly remembered that the system he mentioned was a well-known system among later fighting game players, especially the Street Fighter series, which was impossible to know in this era, so Jester smiled embarrassedly and explained.

"To put it simply, blocking is used as a verb here, which means blocking. In fighting, you can understand it as a blocking system." Jester said it very simply. Whether it is setting or completing this system, it is very difficult, and it cannot be explained clearly in just a few words.

Mark Seney usually likes to practice boxing, and he also likes to watch Blues Lee's movies. When he was making "Avengers", he even discussed various fighting techniques with fighting techniques in various genre styles. When he was writing the settings of this fighting game, he even found out some of the information at that time and read it carefully several times.

So, when Jester talked about this blocking system, he had some clarity.

"However, this system is still relatively difficult to make. I mean that this proposal requires a lot of considerations in terms of judgment and timing. For example, in a fighting game, there will be differences between the previous attack, the middle attack, the next attack, and even the advanced attack of the jump attack. These are all made with reasonable blocking and judgment procedures, which are not simple."

For Jester, he also said something he knew, in more detail, so it requires continuous discussion and research within the development team.

"Of course, after blocking successfully, the blocking system can be completely immune to damage. This setting is too strong. Even if the player has high requirements for completing this blocking, it will cause great imbalance. Therefore, I think a restriction system must be created for this system. If the blocking fails, it will enter a defenseless state. In this state, the character controlled by the player will bear more damage, or be more likely to be combo..."

In terms of fighting games, Jester talked with Mark Seney for a long time, and it was not until the end that Jester really had nothing to say. Mark Seney gave up. After all, Jester was not considered omnipotent.

"Fantasy Star" can be regarded as the last big move of Jester's Japanese market strategy before the end of the year. Although the sales of the first two games are very good, they are far from being called opening the Japanese market. Jester still attaches great importance to this game by Nakayuji.

In fact, there are many types of games that Nakayuji is suitable for making. In Jester's memory, he has shown excellent game talents in any type of game. He is not only a very talented game producer, but more importantly, he is also a top programmer.

You should know that such an identity is very rare. Many talented game designers have many ideas that are extremely creative and imaginative, but because they are not the same as programs after all, there will inevitably be deviations in their thinking, so the completion is not so satisfactory.

But if a producer is a top-notch program, then he can reproduce his ideas as perfectly as possible.

For example, what Nakayuji said before starting the production this time, a large number of cutscenes CGs and three-dimensional game scenes and monster scenes are not difficult on the art side. The difficulty lies in the program that can complete this idea with limited functions.

If others wrote such a suggestion, Jester might reject it because the research and development was too difficult. However, when he saw the application of Nakayuji, he had the idea of ​​why not let him give it a try. You should know that at Sega, Nakayuji was the main program of the "Fantasy Star" development team.

Dreambox's functionality is not inferior to that of ms.

In fact, the current game CG is quite different from the game CG that later players understand. In Jester's memory, in the history he is familiar with, the first part of "Nind Dragon" of "The Legend of the Trouser" should be the first game CG, but it is not now. In the previous arcade games, Jester made someone create a similar game CG.

Moreover, recently, the trouser demon is starting to set up their game development department, and Jester also asked people from the Japanese branch to contact him. In general, the two sides agreed well, and the other party was very grateful for the initiative of Mars Entertainment, but this is ultimately a Japanese company. According to Yuhi Yoshiro, although they have the idea of ​​cooperating with us, it is obvious that they are still waiting for the call of Nintendo.

In fact, Jester is not worried about this. Nintendo does not attach much importance to those newly established game companies. In fact, it cannot be said that. Electronic games are in full swing now. For example, when Capcom boss saw so many companies becoming famous overnight and getting rich, there are even more people who want to join this industry to dig money.

In Japan, there are countless newly established workshop-style game companies every day, and most of them are promising. In this case, even if Nintendo wants to pay attention, it will not be taken seriously.

At this time, the phone on Jester's desk rang.

When I picked it up, I heard it was called by Tamahiro Tamahiro from the Japanese branch. Jester looked at the time. It was about the night in Japan. In the microphone, Tamahiro Tamahiro's tone showed a hint of admiration, as if Jester had accomplished something great.

"Boss, you really have to say it's heavy. The news that the New Japan Project has been inconvenient for capital turnover recently and is about to apply for bankruptcy protection has indeed come out." On the phone, the tone of Tamahiko Yoshiro was amazed.

This is one thing that Jester asked Yuxiu Yoshiro to pay attention to more than a month ago, which is to always pay attention to the recent situation of the New Japan Project company. Once there is any disturbance, he will report it in time. Yuxiu Yoshiro was a little dissatisfied with this before.

But unexpectedly, it was only a little more than a month before, and the company was really in crisis.

Another name of the New Japan Project is snk, which is the abbreviation of his Roman pinyin. The founder is Ryohiko Takado. He had a deep grudge with Capcom's founder, Qianmoto Mizuno. However, Snk developed more smoothly at the beginning than Capcom's Qianmoto Mizuno. Before 1980s, several games were released, and it attracted widespread attention from players.

Unfortunately, the recent years have been extremely unsuccessful. Several consecutive games have been sold poorly, so the investment in R&D funds cannot be recovered. Gao Tang Ryohiko was also collectively forced by members of the board of directors.

Now there are only two ways to go before Gao Tang Ryohiko. Use the only remaining working capital of the company to pay back the previous debts, and then let the company wait slowly to die. The other way is to fight to the death. At worst, the new game will fail again and then let the company die directly.

As the founder of the company, Ryohiko Gaotang has a high prestige, but other members of the board of directors cannot have no say at all. They also have the ability to confront Ryohiko Gaotang. In Ryohiko Gaotang's eyes, their tone is making death slowly, which is better than death to be more vigorous.

In his heart, he was actually very optimistic about the new game they were preparing for and developing. He felt that this game called "Athena" had the ability to bring the company back to life.

However, the confrontation in the board of directors is now in a stalemate, and Gao Tang Ryohiko doesn't have many better solutions for the time being.

By phone, Jester gave his instructions to Tatsuhiko Yoshiro.

"You go and contact Gao Tang Liangyan immediately. He needs external support now. At this time, if your conditions are a little more demanding, I think he will agree without hesitation."

In Japan, Tsuhiko Yoshiro knew more about the current situation of the New Japan Project than Jester. He also agreed with Jester's words, because the current New Japan Project is really a life-and-death friendship.

Gao Tang Ryohiko is really depressed now. She sat behind his boss's chair, and he kept inhaling one cigarette after another into his mouth.

Although he is now angry at Kawasaki Eiki, a partner who created a new Japanese project with him, what she is most unacceptable is that Capcom, founded by Kenzo Masaki, whom he had always looked down upon before, was a success.

I heard that their games have good sales in North America. Since they released the "Raging" arcade in 1985, they have been on the decline. In addition to a one of their own arcade games that was transplanted when they signed a cooperation agreement with Nintendo last year, selling more than 500,000 copies, the development investment of other several of them has basically been sold.

In the office surrounded by smoke, Ryohiko Takado was still thinking hard about how to deal with the board of directors that was about to be held. He heard from his insider that his partner was ready to play a real thing this time. Thinking of Kawasaki Eiki, who was working with him in a long time when he founded the new Japan project, Ryohiko Takado felt nostalgia in his heart, but only boredom was left.

"what to do?"

This is his only idea at the moment, and it is also something he cannot solve no matter what. He wants him to give up his new Japanese project that he has worked hard for so many years?

This is something that Gao Tang Ryohiko cannot accept. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
