Chapter 659 End

“Excellent.”

While leaving, Sid Mel said with a taste of sending Jester.

Jester smiled and said nothing.

"Even I, from what you said this time, I can understand many details that I don't pay attention to at all, and I benefit a lot..."

It seems that the previous compliment was not enough for Sid Mell’s gains today.

He continued to say a few more words.

"To be honest, at the beginning, I thought it was just a very ordinary speech. You can just talk about some experience or interesting things in game development. I didn't expect that you would prepare so seriously this time... Many things and many theories, even for me, have a great overflow..." When saying this, Sid Mel was very sincere.

This made Jester feel a little embarrassed.

In fact, what he said before is really related to Sid Mel.

This is a very famous speech that Sid Mel gave in 2010. The name of the speech is the same as the name Jester said before. Everything you know is wrong. In this speech, Sid Mel summarizes his game development experience by responding to his entire thirty years of game development experience.

It can be said that this is almost the crystallization of Sid Mel's lifelong gameplay (send experience).

Therefore, when Jester spoke at this time, it was only when Sid Mell heard that he was deafening and made him feel enlightened.

"Just a simple idea, nothing."

Of course, you should be modest. Finally, when Jester left, he asked Sid Mel about the development plan for the next game. After all, he had not developed a new game for almost a year. Sid Mel's development team was not idle before, and they were leading others to develop other games.

Hearing Jester ask him this.

Sid Mel pondered for a moment and said, "What I want to do the most is the "Civilization" series, which is basically one of my plots. However, as far as the current hardware conditions are concerned, even if I do the sequel to "Civilization" at this time, I can't complete some of my ideas about the game. Moreover, I still have a little understanding of many things you just made, so I still hope to take a break during this period."

Maybe Sid Mel himself felt that he hadn't played games for too long, so he said after hesitating for a while.

"Let's do it. After a few months, after I completed this teaching task, I will open a new project, but it will definitely not be "Civilization". I plan to select a few of my students in this issue and participate in my project team. The game will probably be a sequel to "Pirates" or a sequel to "Age of Discovery". Anyway, it's a sailing game. I happened to be watching "History of Human Navigation" during this period. I have some inspiration and think I can use it."

After hearing this, Jester had no objection.

Originally, this kind of independent studio has a great independence. As long as you can maintain your own survival, the parent company will not pay attention to it.

However, Sid Mel is a flag-type figure under Mars Entertainment. It is not possible to not participate in a game for too long, so there is the problem with Jester before.

Now that Sid Mel has agreed, he will start the development of the new game in a while, and Jester has nothing to say, so he nodded and said, "You report the development funds to the parent company, and the parent company will contribute according to the proportion of shares."

Although it is up to the independent studio to develop any game by yourself.

However, after all, the parent company accounts for a part of the independent studio, and there are so many or less of this part. For example, Sid Meyer's studio has no controlling rights, but the establishment of a new project requires investment, and the amount of investment needs to be shared by the studio and Mars Entertainment, so Jester said this.

The two of them just chatted casually.

After that, Jester drove away. After he rushed back to the headquarters of Mars Entertainment, there was a collective discussion meeting in the afternoon.

It is about the Times Plan, and it is also quite important. It is considered the Times Project. It has been the largest discussion meeting since the beginning, because in the past few months, one-third of the entire development team's energy was actually preparing for the e3 exhibition, but this preparation is at best just for showing off technology and means.

There are very few things that can be used in game development.

It’s not that it will never be used, but at least according to the current level, this is some technology in the early days of the PS2 era in the original history. To complete such a picture, just as Sega and Sony people said, it’s not impossible, but the cost requirement is too high.

To make a host with such a cost is really the way for Mars Entertainment to perish.

Jester also knows that the console game industry is different from other industries. As long as you are ahead in other industries, you can pass the patent barrier or patent alliance and other means to create a one-step leading and step-by-step leading form. However, in the console game industry, one generation is another, because the technical requirements for console development are not too high.

After all, what the host does not need is how high the performance is.

Moreover, it must be cost-effective.

There is also the cost of publicity. Don’t think that one generation can rule one generation in the previous generation, or that the next generation can be.

Jester discovered that such signs are now appearing in Mars Entertainment, but he has no choice. In his memory, when Nintendo was the giant Toyota, which had a small business with more than 100,000 small businesses, wasn't Nintendo's people the same?

However, Jester knew that Nintendo later became the way to perish.

If you don’t want to make progress and don’t know how to go together, even if you can make the best game?

N64 is indeed searching for teeth by Sega Saturn and Ps.

But there is no doubt that in that era, who made the best games? No matter who asked anyone, he would tell you that it was Nintendo. In that era, Mario and Zelda were the most perfect games. (To be continued...) i1292
