“I feel that a strong and large community involvement is needed.”

Almost without much thought, Jack Lofi made his answer, and the next moment he made his answer, a smile appeared on Jester's face.

However, with just a smile, it is still impossible to tell what Jester's specific idea is.

But at this time, Jester stretched out his finger and tapped the table. Obviously, he was in a good mood at this time, so after hearing Jack Lofi said this, Jester smiled and said, "Have you thought about it in detail?"

"Thinking."

Immediately, Jack Lofi made his own reply.

Jester did not speak out, but made an expression that made the other party continue to speak. Jack Lofi thought for a while, organized the language and started to speak in detail.

"The biggest fun of this kind of homemade map game is that many people participate, share the maps they make, and then let more people participate in it to guide these level maps made by community members themselves, and even let players rate the difficulty of these maps, and even set a level ranking list for each level map. We can also reward designers who can design levels that are amazing. For example, they can allow their levels to be sold in the community..."

Jester listened silently, and even nodded from time to time.

Although it has not been stated clearly, from his expression, we can see that he was extremely satisfied with Jack Lofi's answer.

Sure enough, after Jack Lofi finished speaking, Jester clapped his hands: "A very good idea. Do you think our current community environment can achieve what you said?" DreamWave 3, the host of the next generation of Mars Entertainment, will add networking function, which is not a secret thing. Although Mars Entertainment has not made any public publicity. However, when developing the game of DreamWave 3 internally, the designers of these development teams still know the differences between the next generation of consoles and the previous generation.

This is also the most different thing about Dream Wave 3, Sega Saturn and Sony's Ps2.

Of course, this is also because Mars Entertainment started to build their community groups a few years ago. Although the Mars War Network was only on PC before, the number of paid members per month has spread across several continents, with more than 500,000 people. They are not paid members, but there are more active members.

Mars Entertainment has gained a lot of sweetness from this. Therefore, it is so attentive to this matter.

Of course, some membership terms on PC Mars War Network cannot be ported to the host in the same way. For example, the simplest monthly free game, there is no hard drive on the host now. Jester had considered adding hard drives to the game console before, but after discussing it with the development team, he still removed this idea.

Since there is no such condition, the free game for monthly members cannot be used temporarily.

However, on PC, online gaming is a basic function, and this does not need to be obtained through payment. Of course, some M-touch RPGs are because they cost money to play these games, so I will not discuss this.

However, in later generations, PS+ and Microsoft Gold members, games that can be online can be obtained. Only by purchasing paid members can you get online gaming experience.

This is a good breakthrough.

Because these online games need to provide them with servers themselves.

Of course, if some other game companies are willing to provide their own servers, then they do not need to charge a membership fee for their own games to be connected to the player, which is completely feasible, but the network situation is not guaranteed.

For example, EA's servers were criticized the most among the network services of many major game companies in later generations.

Jester remembered once that he applied for the internal test of Need for Speed ​​19, and then logged into PS4 and got off the beta version of Need for Speed ​​to try the feeling that it can speed up even if you drive without brains. After all, I was very tired when playing DC and waste before, and I urgently needed to use Need for Speed ​​to relieve stress by using Need for Speed.

As a result, I can't connect to EA's server at all...

As a game that must be connected to the Internet at all times to play during promotion, this situation is unforgivable.

Jester looked at Jack Lofi's face and thought. This should be considered a designer he trained in this world. Jester did not see through his future vision for his potential, and did not know how far his future could grow. However, judging from his analysis of "Made in Balotelli", coupled with some of the situations in Jester's reference to the future game "Made in Mario".

You can still draw a conclusion that the designer's abilities and ideas are very good.

Moreover, the American game development environment actually has much lower requirements for a producer than for a Japanese producer. In terms of game conception at the beginning, American advocates brainstorming, while Japan is a dictator.

But, can such a young man really take on the big responsibility?

Although Jester had also given itagaki Tomoto, Nakayuji, Hideo Koji... so many people entrusted them with important tasks when they were very young, and some even had to be in charge of a large project with investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars less than a year after joining the company. In the video game market when Mars Entertainment just started, hundreds of thousands of dollars were really not a small project.

However, this is because Jester knows these people, and he knows how ** these people are in their original history.

Although he was a little risky at the time, it was definitely not gambling.

After thinking for a while, Jester smiled. He felt that he was a little greedy. He finally discovered a young man with great potential that he had not had in history. He should work hard to cultivate him. Whether the other party has the ability to become a legendary producer can only depend on his own abilities.

"Let's do it, go back and write a detailed development plan, and then hand it over. After we pass the review, I will allow you to recruit people to develop this one..." After thinking for a long time, Jester agreed to let the other party develop this game. But halfway through, he found that neither of them gave the game a suitable name.

But this doesn't matter.

For Jester, the name is ready-made and does not even need to be changed.

“…The name of the game is “Made in Balotelli”.”

After saying that, Jester ended this conversation. He finished all he wanted to say. His time was precious, he had a lot of things, and he didn't waste much time.

It is impossible to see such a fantastic game every day. For Jester, his daily work is also a common game development life, and after December, time seems to be passing faster and faster.

With the overwhelming advertising of Sony and Sega, the first appearance of ps2 finally ushered in its release date.

Jester couldn't imagine what Sony or Ken Kutaraki, or the entire Ps2 development team, and the designers who put their bets on Ps2. He could only say his own thoughts. Ps2 in this era is actually the Ps in his original world. Because of his appearance, the development trajectory of the entire electronic game has changed.

Let ps appear in advance, so Sony's second-generation host can only be called ps2.

However, Jester can think of the night before his previous Dream Wave 2 was released, and his inner mood changes were used as a reference.

He felt that there should be almost a difference between the two.

First of all, I must have longed for it. After all, I have worked hard for four or five years and have developed something that has been built with thousands of days and nights of hard work. I definitely hope that he can achieve great success.

Moreover, this thing is the best opportunity for the company to take advantage of its opponent's mistakes in this new generation to turn defeat into victory and reverse its previous disadvantages. Of course, there will definitely be worries.

Will players like it? Will they pay?

What if it fails?

The night before it was released, all kinds of thoughts emerged in Jester's mind.

But it's the day it's actually released.

Then I will cheer up and abandon all my random thoughts, and then I will only have one belief in my heart, that is, I will definitely win a great victory.

What made Jester happy was that his previous two generations of hosts, DreamWave and DreamB2, were both lucky to be disappointed.

Sony is posing in Los Angeles very much.

You should know that this is the base camp of Mars Entertainment. Almost 90% of Los Angeles gamers, even if they are not fans of Mars Entertainment, have a great impression of Mars Entertainment.

Because Mars Entertainment is their local company, it gives them a sense of belonging.

Moreover, Mars Entertainment’s games have never disappointed players and are worthy of the players’ expectations of them.

This time, Sony has set up a heavy army in Los Angeles. It is said that it is just a special sales store, and only opened fourteen stores, almost spread throughout the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

Even two special sales points in the city center have set up a stage and invited several famous singers to perform. It is not a big deal. Obviously, Sony is still very confident about their ps2 this time.

When Jester arrived at the company in the morning, he found that many people were not familiar with each other and often whispered about PS2, such as their games, their pictures, etc. Jester could only smile bitterly, but in fact he was not the same.

Sony's promotional expenses are not in vain.

In addition, the Sony brand is indeed very appealing in North America. Among consumer electronic products, they are the top ones.

Many fans.

Therefore, on the day of release, many Sony fans came to support it.

In addition, there are many good games on P1, and there are many supporters of the game. So, basically, before the official release time, there are also queues in front of the fourteen sales points in the Los Angeles area.

Of course, the team cannot be said to be long, with thirty or forty people, and eleven or two fewer.

It is far worse than when the Mars Entertainment console or game was released, especially when Jester's game was released, fans were able to stay up late two days in advance, or even take a tent to sleep on blankets.

Although Mars Entertainment cannot obtain accurate sales reports at any time like Sony, the special investigators they hire will also have their own statistics to report Sony's P2 sales. Overall, Sony's previous promotion of 3D games was very successful, and many players are indeed very interested in this kind of game.

In addition, in Sony's game this time, "Rridge Racing" specially created by Namco is indeed very sophisticated.

It is this game that is open to players on site, so to a certain extent, a lot of sales have been added to a certain extent. Players who were originally able to buy or not bought experienced a ridge racing in sales stores. This game experience, which is more enjoyable than playing in an arcade hall, immediately made them fall in love with this console and this game.

By noon, Jester received the first report from the investigation company in his office.

Sony's ps2 was released from 8:30, and as of 12:00, it sold about 300,000 units in the entire North America.

This number also made Jester feel a little worried.

Because this number is really very high.

This shows that players have a very high acceptance of Sony's P2. Of course, compared with only 300,000 units, the world's largest DreamWave 2, even compared with their own sales of more than 20 million units, it is not worth mentioning.

But the problem is that both dream wave 3 and ps1 are the hosts of the previous era and are now beginning to become corrupt.

ps2 is the host that just appeared, and it is extremely vibrant.

No one can say how well ps2 can grow in the future.

In fact, in addition to Jester, the Sega headquarters in Japan is also paying attention to Sony's situation in North America's PS2, because Sony talks about the main competition location in the north this time. This time, it was held half a day in advance in North America. The morning in North America happened to be midnight in Japan, and after the first day of North America's release ended.

It's time for Japan's release to begin. (To be continued.)
