Because of the fact that the Japanese branch of "Game" magazine received the opportunity to interview Umehara Daigo.

However, although Umehara Daigo looks precocious, he is still a child after all. He is still a little afraid of being angry when facing the interview, and some questions are answered, but after all, he is a child. In the face of this situation, others just laugh it off.

But it was this kid who was in the quarterfinals of Tokyo District. This competition was not held in the arcade hall. The finals in each region were personally responsible by the Japanese branch of Mars Entertainment, renting large venues and selling tickets for those who like this event to watch.

The large screen is on site, even if it is far away, you can see clearly, and there is also a commentary. Even if you don’t see clearly, the commentary will explain on site.

However, what disappointed Jester was that although all the 3,000 tickets prepared for this Tokyo final were sold out, no TV station came to report on the spot. On the contrary, in the finals of the United States and Los Angeles, ABC had the idea of ​​getting the live broadcast rights.

Of course, it's just an idea.

Jester naturally has no time to watch these games. To be honest, although he wants to promote the development of e-sports, he lacks interest in the current e-sports competitions. The e-sports events he likes are RTS-type games. However, the birth of RTS games is limited by computer functions, and it is unlikely to reach the level of ETS games at least within ** years.

He is now busy making the fps game he calls "Thor Hammer".

This name is also the masterpiece of Carmack, who was directly copied by Jester, but this game is not Carmack's first 3D game. After Carmack produced the world's first 3D engine, he successively produced several 3D games including "Germany Headquarters" and "Assassination of Hitler". During the production process of these games, as Carmack and John Romero, the partner of Carmack, know more and more about 3D games.

Finally, the idea of ​​"Thor's Hammer" was created and put it into practice.

Of course, the current PC function is definitely not as good as when Carmack made "Thor Hammer", and the 3D engine is not as good as after he had already started several 3D engines. Moreover, in addition to his deeper understanding of 3D games at that time, Carmack's development team was much better than the team that Jester brought with him at that time.

It can be said that apart from Jester, this is a development team that doesn't know what a 3D game is, so Jester has to create a demo with Carmack before the official development, which is to let the members of their development team know what kind of game they are developing.

And in the past few days, after a preliminary understanding of the Unreal i3d engine developed by Carmak, everyone admires Carmak's talent. They really can't imagine that such an extraordinary and difficult engine was basically completed by one person.

However, the process was not particularly smooth at the beginning. Whether it was a 3D building, 3D characters, or configuring a physical database in a 3D environment, it was the first time for many people to participate in such a work. These are extremely unfamiliar. They all require time to be familiar with, so it is natural to make it unfast.

But Jester didn't want to think so, because he had already planned to announce the game at the carnival in November and offer trial play. Even if it was impossible to complete the version, it would be OK to make a trial playable version.

Unfortunately, if we continue to follow the current speed and at this pace, and want to make a trial version that can be used, it will be this time next year. It is May and June, and there are still five months left before November. If we want to come up with a playable version in such a short time, it will not work.

So, Jester immediately modified the development schedule. The entire development team did not care about the subsequent levels or the content of LAN battles, and made every effort to complete the production of the first three levels, and then grouped according to the different work content of each person. Each group was responsible for part of it. After completing this part of his work, he received a new task assignment.

When development is completed, dividends will be rewarded according to the amount of tasks completed.

After this point, the speed has indeed increased a lot, and each group is also very motivated. They work overtime until very late every day, and there are even several groups who almost live and eat and live in the company.

Among them is Carmack, the workaholic.

Jester had a deep understanding of Carmack's madness. He felt it clearly when Carmack was developing the Unreal I. He still remembers that when he came to Carmack's development studio, he saw pizza boxes full of studios and piles of Coke cans like hills.

Moreover, Jester knew that Carmack's working state was not about being interested, but was like this for many years. He remembered that when he was reading the biography of Carmack and Romero, he saw the development environment and development status of the I software game development team at that time, which was almost the same as Carmack's office at that time.

Even Carmak was very proud of his behavior. When he was interviewed, because he was very young, the reporter asked him what the secrets were for success, and then Carmak easily said a famous saying.

This sentence has even been cited as a creed by many game developers and has inspired them to grow into an excellent game designer.

"In this society, if you want to succeed, then nothing can stop you. All you need is a computer, a network cable, and a refrigerator with a pizza."

At that time, Jester remembered that he was deeply moved when he saw Carmak's words for the first time. He even felt that without this spirit, Carmak would never have developed almost all 3D engines in the early stage of the id software, and would not have been the valve's fat man. After watching the engine of "Thor Hammer", he said that he could not have made an engine of this level and borrowed the engine from Carmak to develop the "Half-Life" that became famous in the world.

Now, Carmack's working state, which can be described as selfless, has almost become one of the best benchmarks for Jester's development team.

Everyone saw that even the chief programmer worked so hard, so how could he not do his best?

Of course, there is also the excitement of the very high bonus that Jester has offered.

Therefore, the speed of the entire development team doubled, which made Jester temporarily relieved.

The finals of "Street Battle" in Tokyo District were the earliest regional finals. Those who won the top three can participate in the finals of Japan. There were 3,000 tickets prepared, not many, but the rental venue was not large, and it was just a basketball court temporarily changed, so when the opening was approaching, it was already full.

The youngest one in the competition is Umehara Daigo. His age has attracted almost everyone's attention, and everyone is also curious about how far this child, who is less than ten years old, can he win the final championship and participate in the national finals?

Because judging from his previous performance, Umehara Daigo is the well-deserved No. 1 seed, because those who compete with him were basically killed by him in two games.

In this final, the first person to play was Umehara Daigo. He performed the best in the previous qualifiers, so he had the highest hidden score, while his opponent had the lowest hidden score, which is also a special preferential treatment and protection for high-level players.

Umehara Daigo's opponent is an adult of 27 or 8. His name is Honda Takaichi, the owner of an appliance store. He likes arcade games very much, especially "Street Fighter". He was fascinated by this game as soon as it was released. Since he learned that this competition has been available, he has practiced hard every day and finally allowed him to enter the quarterfinals of Tokyo District.

Seeing that his opponent was a child, Honda did not dare to slack off at all. He knew that the strength of this child in the qualifiers was almost a god-blocking killing gods and a Buddha-blocking killing Buddhas. He also went to the scene to watch the child's game twice. The child's prediction of the move left a deep impression on him.

After greeting each other, the two parties entered their own operating positions.

This is a special arcade for the competition by Mars Entertainment. It is not an ordinary arcade with two people on the left and right side, but a special frame for competitions, where the two people operate opposite each other.

Moreover, in order to make the game more economical, Jester also specially proposed the mechanism of bp. b means ban means that the other party can be prohibited from using a character, and p means pick. As the name suggests, it means choice, ban first and then choose.

This is also the new regulations that have just been added to this regional final.

Honda just watched Umehara Daigo's game several times and knew that he was good at using Garrett, so he chose this character as a ban without hesitation. Then it was Umehara Daigo's turn to choose a banned character. Unexpectedly, Umehara Daigo didn't care at all, but just pressed the confirm button on the popular character Takashi, confirming that it was forbidden to choose a character.

This made Honda look a little unexpected, because the character Takashi was not what he was good at, and he had never chosen this character in any previous game. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
