"I want to make a game that is easy to play but fun."

After thinking for a while, Nakayuji seemed to be unable to think of better words to describe his thoughts, so he could only say them truthfully according to his thoughts, although this sentence sounded a little awkward in the ears of others.

If someone from other industries comes to listen to it, do you think what Nakayuji said is not nonsense? However, if an experienced designer comes to listen to it, you can understand the difficulties. Making the simple game mode endlessly fun is simple to say, but how difficult it is to do it?

At this time, Jester remembered Nakayuji's game called "Sonic".

However, Jester thought about it again and thought that this game looked simple, but it was extremely complicated to make. According to the current functions and computing power of the eight-bit computer, it is probably not enough to be able to achieve it. However, he has no good ideas for the time being. He is not a Doctor Cat. He can remember something similar and excellent game with a slap in his head. If he has to say it, he really has a simple, interesting and fun game, but...

After hesitating for a while, Jester looked at Nakayuji and said, "I have an idea here, but it is not a new game, but an integral part of a series of games. The protagonist is a character that appeared in the series of games of Balotelli. The protagonist is still Balotelli, or there is no distinction between the protagonist and the supporting role in this game. What I am now envisioning is a racing competition game..."

Just as Jester said this, a look of disappointment appeared on his face, who was very interested in it. Racing and competitive games have nothing in common with the simple gameplay he wanted to make.

But out of respect for Jester, he was still listening carefully.

Jester also saw the expression on Nakayuji's face at this time, and he didn't care, because what he was talking about was not a serious racing game at all. Although he had just made a simulated racing game that was extremely serious in this era. But this game is very special.

So, Jester continued to smile and said, "This is a party game. When playing this game, many friends come to play it. When you have nothing to do with dinner, well, I call it Balotelli Racing. The characters in it will be all the characters in several games with Balotelli as the protagonist - including villains. Of course, the racing method here is to compare who reaches the finish line first, but it is displayed on the same screen..."

Speaking of this, although Jester has not yet mentioned the gameplay of this very special racing game in his mouth, he just heard Jester say that it was displayed on the same screen, and a very wonderful look appeared on Nakayuji's face.

Previous racing games, whether they are arcades or home machines, have never been displayed on the screen. That is to say, these racing games in the previous ones can only display a screen on the TV screen, which means that only one person can play games on a machine at the same time.

"How many are displayed at the same time?" Nakayuji almost blurted out.

Jester just glanced at him slightly, then said in a light tone: "I designed four controller slots in dreambox, so I initially planned to be able to play at the same time with up to four players at the same time."

As a game designer, Nakayuji naturally understands the playability of multiplayer games. The entertainment is much better than single-player games.

After hearing Jester say this, Nakayuji's interest also became completely aroused. He couldn't wait to ask: "So what is the special way of playing this game?"

"hehe."

Jester chuckled first. He took a sip of water to moisten his throat and said, "Actually, I just started this game. I had the idea of ​​making a home racing game when I was designing that somatosensory simulation arcade game, but that idea was very imperfect. I have been planning to make a racing game as rigorous as the "Globe Rally", until you just said you wanted to make a fun, simple but playable game, and I guess I suddenly had this idea."

Nakayuji listened very seriously, and Jester was also considering his own words.

In fact, he really has never played the game "Super Mario Kart", but he has only heard of it. After all, the status of this game is there, and he has never played the new carriage on Wii. Although this game later created a horror score of 38 million for a single game, the sales record of this single game was not barely broken until seven or eight years later. The final sales of gta5 Jest was not clear, because when he traveled through time, the PC version of gta5 was not released.

However, he has played many games designed with reference to Super Mario Racing, well, for example, "Running Kart".

Based on his understanding of this kind of game, Jester started to talk to Nakayuji. After Nakayuji heard Jester's description of this game, his eyes became brighter and brighter. In the end, he even picked up the pen from Jester's desk and quickly remembered it.

He was indeed moved by the game that Jester said.

"A genius-like idea!"

After Jester finished talking about the basic gameplay of the game he called "Ballotelli Racing", Nakayuji even applauded. This game almost completed the basic gameplay and setting in the blink of an eye. It was almost the simplest and most interesting typical in his mind. It opened a door that he had never opened in the design game for him like "American Squares" back then.

"Can I make this game?"

Almost in a trembling tone, Nakayuji asked with a desire, his eyes were sincere at Jester, who was most looking forward to Jester giving the answer he expected.

Jester was a little furious when Nakayuji looked at him. He coughed and told Nakayuji not to look at him with this kind of eyes. Then he asked: "Would you like to make a series of games? I plan to sit in the series of Balotelli, because this cartoon and charming style is most suitable for this game."

Obviously, when Jester asked this, Nakayuji obviously hesitated.

After all, he is not an unknown designer now. After the first hit of "Fantasy Star", he is very popular in human nature. Some game media almost made him a RPG game designer as famous as Yuji Oui, Hiroshi Sakaguchi, and Shigeru Miyamoto. He even put his "Fantasy Star" on the same high status as "Dragon Quest", "Final Fantasy", and "The Legend of Zelda".

It is called the four major Japanese rpgs, and some fanatical fans are even called the four major national rpgs.

As for Jester, who produced no inferior to these four games, and even surpassed those of these four games, and made these game designers unimaginable inspiration when designing similar games, they were automatically forgotten by many Japanese media and Japanese fanatical players.

Because Jester is not a Japanese, the games he made naturally cannot be considered Japanese games.

What? You said that the three of our four major RPGs have a strong style reference to Jester's "Flame Emblem"? Isn't this nonsense? It's just that some talented designers came up with a place when designing games.

What? You said Yuji Oui himself said that after playing "Flame Emblem", he burned his original design plan for "Dragon Quest", and then played "Flame Emblem" for a month to complete the new project for "Dragon Quest"? Isn't this nonsense? Why didn't I know Yuji Oui said these words?

What? You said Hiroshi Sakaguchi and Yuji Nakamoto were both disciples of Jester? Did someone do something with you and you would call someone a master? It's simply unparalleled.

Nakayuji obviously wanted to take away this idea, but he had to set the content of the game himself. Obviously, he wanted to make an independent game, not just a vassal of Balotelli. Moreover, in his opinion, such a good idea is enough to make a series independently, why should he still gain Balotelli's popularity?

Yes, Nakayuji also knows that the sales curve of the game "Ballotelli's Adventures" is simply terrible. So far, the game has sold 15 million copies. The second-ranked "Flame Emblem" has sold just 10 million copies so far, and the game has a very large number of fans. Recently, ABC conducted a survey and Balotelli's popularity is second only to Disney's Mickey, far exceeding the Transformers that have been popular all over the United States in recent years.

Although he understood that Jester wanted to make this new racing game more popular with the reputation of "Ballotelli Series", Nakayuji said: "Boss, I think this game is enough to be a series that is not attached to a certain character at all..."

However, before Nakayuji finished speaking, Jester interrupted him. Jester said seriously: "Nakayu, you have to know that we have had a game that is very similar to the game we are going to make in both the picture and the style. If we are in this game with such picture and style, whether it is to re-set the character or complete some other work, it is a waste. Moreover, it is not too stupid to have such a good reputation as the Balotelli series?"

Jester's words were speechless for a moment. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
