This was created in the past twenty years, from this character that was familiar to players from nothing, from small to big, from weak to strong. From the prototype of Sam Wise, to Wang Wei's Ninth Son, and to the time when Jester traveled through time, the team had expanded to more than a dozen people.

It can be said that more than twenty years later.

Every art in the industry dreams of entering the temple in the entire electronic game industry.

For example, the artists from several domestic game companies that Jester knew only had one idea about Storm Son, that is, their predecessor Wang Wei, one day, will become a member of this team.

And the team of Sons of Mars that Jester is now formed in Mars Entertainment.

In fact, it was inspired by the Storm Son of the Blizzard in later generations. Of course, the Son of Mars is now extremely powerful. It can be said that in this world, when major companies obviously do not attach too much importance to art, the Son of Mars of Mars Entertainment is unique.

Of course, the founder of Blizzard in later generations has been taken into his pocket by himself, and the king of RTS, who can dominate the world for Blizzard RTS, has also started an internship in his company. Basically, Blizzard will not appear in the future.

And Sam Wise Didier, the soul figure in the future Storm Son, is also the founder of Storm Son, and is now living like a fish in the Son of Mars.

Jester shook his head.

These things are actually a bit far-reaching, and they have nothing to do with the content on Zhang Dong’s post he is going to think about.

But it was just a matter of excitement, so I thought about it for a while.

Jester still clearly remembers that he was browsing the posts boredly, and suddenly saw the one who was added to the moderator. When he saw that it was Blizzard's person who came to recover in person. You know. Although this is not the first time in this Blizzard Forum, it is also an extremely rare legendary event.

And it was the post that was very simple and simple about introducing the poster’s experience as the marketing director of Blizzard Marketing Department who had been two years ago, which shocked Jester.

It made him feel a truly niche game, and it was how the short-level game could unexpectedly reach the peak in the end. In fact, Zhang Dong didn't need to describe it in the post, and Jester was very clear about it.

Although Zhang Dong's original intention of writing this post was to encourage "Heroes of the Storm", the game was not popular with the most popular game, but in the post, the main one was "Heartstone", which was not popular at the beginning because even such a difficult situation came over at that time, let alone a small scene like "Heroes of the Storm".

It is precisely because Jester experienced the situation at that time that Jester felt more deeply about that post.

What was the situation at that time?

It was just that Jester came into contact with. Shortly after the internal testing of Hearthstone, Sina Games made a program to discuss Hearthstone. They did not discuss the advantages of Hearthstone. Instead, they made a fuss in the program that this game would last for a few months, and their remarks were very strange. For example, this game was just for those who had never played a card game, but lacked depth. If they couldn't play for a long time, these players would leave.

For example, it is in the Hearthstone area above this forum where the white-white gathers.

The moderator of a certain game area openly made a fuss in the forum. He said that this game would last only three months. Of course, Jester knew about the situation at that time. Needless to mention other forums, it was just about the forum in China where the largest concentration of white bloodshots was.

There are only a few information compilation posts and blue posts translated and forwarded. There are basically very few people participating in the discussion. Almost this type of game is not accepted by players, and it is accepted by the brutes. Jester is also a little worried about this game that he likes very much.

However, Jester was different from these people at the time. After getting the internal test number and playing the game "Heartstone", he concluded that this game will definitely become popular.

Because this game has all the qualities that a successful game has.

Of course, although Jester thought so at that time, when he really learned about the whole process of this game from small to greatness and knew his magnificence, Jester would still take a breath, because this game with 30 million players in Activision Blizzard's financial report in the first quarter of 2015.

At the beginning, it was just a team of ten people who burst out inspiration that was not valued when chatting.

Of course, one more important thing about Hearthstone's success is to make players like Jester who really like extraordinary games unwilling to see it. After seeing the skit-level game again, Blizzard stopped the development of the Titan project that had been underway for seven years without hesitation.

This made countless fans like Jester feel sorry for them.

In that article, Zhang Dong also talked about the various embarrassments he encountered when he just joined the Chinese Blizzard. Because Jester has read this post many times, he can even retell some of the paragraphs in it.

Jester closed his eyes again and began to recall the post he had read.

That's what Zhang Dong said in the post at that time.

"I first said that when I was going to a certain company, I originally meant to be a storm. Two years have passed in a flash. Later, a new product called Hearthstone suddenly appeared, so I made this first. There were a few things that impressed me the most when I first came..."

"The first thing is that it is the gate of the WCG middle school division. I heard a man who was said to be called Eison with a cigarette in his mouth and the e-sports manager at that time criticized WY not being devoted to Star. Star is about to end, so I stood beside me and listened quietly for 15 minutes..."

"The second thing is Hearthstone's announcement of the agency's press conference."

"You may not be able to imagine how shabby the situation was at that time - the launch of the Dark and Storm Agents was announced, which were all golden matches. There were tens of thousands of people watching, tens of thousands of people cheering, and tens of times more in front of the computer screen, but I bet most people must not know where the launch of the Hearthstone Announcement Agents was."

"I remember very clearly the main theme of the media gathering where no more than 50 people were present at that time: Warcraft is old, the interstellar is over, Blizzard Dad has now changed to a card mobile game to make money... I still remember very clearly. The editor-in-chief of a well-known media never mentioned a Hearthstone from beginning to end, and kept chasing Brother Riqiang to ask how many people in World of Warcraft will be released recently. Brother Riqiang is the vice president of NetEase, the vice president of NetEase who specializes in Blizzard's business."

"There are enthusiastic reporters who keep saying that you think this looks like Magic Card, like Yu-Gi-Oh, or like Warcraft tcg?"

"We can't answer this."

"The last one was when I was interviewing. At that time, many people who went to Blizzard China for interviews like me would ask, when will they go to Diablo 3?"

"I remember this very clearly. After I asked, a senior leader who interviewed me took a deep look, was silent for two seconds, and said a meaningful sentence with a very serious expression. Do you think there is hope for selling this kind of box game in China?"

"I'm speechless, too."

"Two years ago, we had the first Hearthstone competition. I went on stage to make a guest commentary. Because the young and handsome host who was temporarily in Neotv - fresher than the leader of the gang, is not as good as the Long Brother Meat - can't even recognize the cards. There was only one foreign audience at the scene, and his name was Feng Yichi."

"As for who Feng Yichi is, I wouldn't know if I want to know the game "League of Legends". Since then, I have always believed that the people in the lol project team have unique vision and never criticize lol."

"At that time, the main theme of Nga Hearthstone was 'This funny face-looking game is also called esports?' Today, the hot post in Nga Hearthstone was, 'Starting from Korea's victory over Europe and the United States' and 'I have learned a lot when watching the game'. Today, you said in the Storm area whether you can talk about KFC, McDonald's, I'm tired of eating it. Two years ago, a bank talked to us about Hearthstone joint credit card and talked about signing a contract soon. The boss came out and said, 'I don't know how long this kind of card mobile game can last,' and then there was nothing."

"Of course. Now that the credit card has been negotiated, it will be released soon, but I personally think it is ugly. After all, the aesthetics of banks are a bit different from those of us ordinary people."

"Today, the Storm has its own e-sports hall before the public beta. Hundreds of people from 64 teams are preparing to participate in the Golden Tournament. When we were the first time in the Sino-US confrontation, there were 64 Hearthstone players across the country. I don't know if there are any. The most common line in my Weibo comments is, "What awesome, you are not even as good as a dog from Blizzard. I'm giving Blizzard face, not you wy face, do you know?"

"I never felt that I was awesome. Hearthstone's 30 million global products are Blizzard's dad's products. Dark 1 million sets are Blizzard's brand. The only time I feel that I am worthy of this salary is that the person named Eison can hold a competition called Lei Feng Cup and can also help support me. Xiaose was broadcasting WCS in the middle of the night and found that there were 500,000 and 600,000 people in his room. Of course, everyone knows the moisture of Douyu. It is the magic wind that broke through the siege alone in South Korea until the championship. It is the European player who asked, can we get Ferrari if we win?"

"It was even more foreigners who left messages in the Twitch live broadcast room of Storm's preseason that I think Estar can beat the world... It is said that Blizzard game fire should not be fired, but agent garbage, interstellar, Hearthstone, Darkness, Storm, I haven't caught up with a Blizzard game that I was optimistic about in China from the beginning."

"If you talk about the hardships of starting, there is no Hearthstone."

Jester recalled the very profound post in his memory from beginning to end, and then he opened his eyes again.

Yes, even a small-level game like Hearthstone can achieve great success in the future, and what is the dilemma faced by American RPG? Suddenly, Jester was filled with confidence in his heart.

Isn't it a niche?
