Chapter 139 Independent Studio
So he said a little lonely: "Will I go back and make a soundtrack for that cartoon?" Although his tone was lonely, Hu Weili was not very disgusted with giving a soundtrack to the cartoon. On the contrary, he also liked this job very much. When he was in mainland China, he helped Meiying do a lot of work in this area.
For example, the soundtrack in the cartoon "Afanti" which is famous and almost ran through Jester's entire childhood was composed by Hu Weili.
However, after all, he brought him to the United States by Jester. The salary he received, the work he carried out, and the life he owned was given to him. He felt that he had an obligation to do his best and do his best when Jester needed him.
So this time he failed to get the recognition of his boss, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
When Jester heard Hu Weili's question, he became a little strange. He smiled and asked back: "Who said he wanted you to go back and make a soundtrack for the cartoon? I don't have enough staff here, otherwise I wouldn't call you to come back in such a hurry. Although you can't be the main creator of the soundtrack in this game, you can still be a deputy."
Although he did not get the position of the main creator, Hu Weili still smiled happily. For him, he would be very happy to be able to help Jester. As for whether he is the main creator, he didn't care very much.
"Let's do this, Mr. Hu, the official development of this game has not started so soon. I will go to Japan recently to recruit people who are missing from the team. During this period, you will also help other post-production teams to match their games. Then, before the research and development has started, you will first tutor on Western fantasy novels and DND rules, which will be very good for your next soundtrack work."
Before saying goodbye to Hu Weili, Jester said to Hu Weili like this, and Hu Weili nodded solemnly and signaled him to write it down.
Mark Seni also felt a deep fatigue after the production of "Avengers". After Jester asked, he said that in a short period of time, he would no longer be responsible for the development of specific games and needed a period of rest. However, it was not the kind of rest on vacation, but he took on his real responsibility as the development director and approved the game creativity.
Now that Jester has completed the most original capital accumulation in his company, in order not to lose the creativity of the R&D team he formed, he does not take out many future big-selling games at once to provide these teams with research and development, but allows them to complete the plans for the games they want to make by themselves.
Then hand it over to Mark Seney for review.
Of course, not all Jester's games are plagiarized. Previously, because of the big sale of the arcade game "Sheriff Balotelli", Cyver Daberwater's R&D team was the first to come out of Mars Entertainment and create a studio.
However, Seifer Daberwater did not move out of Mars Entertainment, and the studio was completely controlled by Mars Entertainment, and the location was also at the headquarters of Mars Entertainment.
However, after having a studio, a relationship between the parent company and the subsidiary is formed. In the future, the studio will share different profits according to the specific sales volume of the game. The higher the sales volume, the larger the share ratio. If the sales volume can exceed 10 million shares, then this studio will obtain up to 40% of the total profit.
Of course, all expenses of the studio need to be responsible for Seff Daberwater, which is the obligation that the studio has to bear after its eternal share of the right to share the right.
The studio's name was named Metal Storm by Seifer Daberwater. Because his first successful game was the shooting game, he was most interested in the production of shooting games, so he took the nickname of the Gatley machine gun as the name of the studio.
However, because the studio was first built, Cef Dubwater could not recruit enough outstanding talents in a short period of time. Therefore, the current members of the R&D team who are currently working in the Metal Storm Studio are mainly members of the previous R&D team led by Cef Dubwater.
Of course, these personnel are seconded between the headquarters and branches, but the salary is handled by the branch, namely the Metal Storm Studio.
Cyfer Daberwater also hopes that with the next game, he can poach more talents he values from his parent company Mars Entertainment, especially his R&D team.
In fact, it was a bit embarrassing to talk about it. When he got the opportunity to create a studio, only a few of them were willing to work in the new studio with him.
Jester also hopes to see the first studio to go out of his Mars Entertainment to become a benchmark. He doesn't want people to put all the reasons for the success of Mars Entertainment on himself. In fact, Jester understands very well that he can only say a catalyst. His real ability, if he deducts the countless games in his mind and his decades of understanding of these people in game development, then he will not be comparable to these people at all.
Of course, he also wanted to set an example for other R&D teams in the company who were ready to move after the first studio was established - as long as the game you made is excellent enough, you will get the same treatment and huge profits.
So, Jester also helped this young designer who developed it himself and valued it very much together designed the next game that his new studio will develop.
The same platform shooting, but the style changed from a strong western style to a hard-core design style. The background setting also refers to the previously very popular horror film "Alien" - Yes, Jester talked about Seifer Daberwater's textbook-like work "Contra".
Because of the previous shooting game "Sheritor Balotelli", Seif Daberwater also had a deeper understanding of the rhythm that Jester talked about, which made players unable to stop at the beginning, and this was also his biggest flaw in her previous game "Sheritor Balotelli". His previous game was too loose in the design that oppressed players to keep moving forward.
Jester doesn't want to interfere too much in this game. He has already told Ciffer Daberwater what he should say and do. Even the levels helped him design several of the most classics as references. What level this game can finally reach depends on Ciffer Daberwater and his team's level and fortune.
Can the brand new Contra they made reach the height of the K-She's Contra in his memory? Jester didn't know, but he believed that children who cannot stand up will never stand up, and young eagles that cannot leave the wings of the mother eagle will never conquer the sky.
Jester can only wait and see what "Contra" can do in this world.
Of course, Jester, who knows Cyver Daberwater's abilities, is still very optimistic about his team.
I explained the matter in the company and then made a phone call with Claudia who was far away in Europe. However, I did not find this very attractive young woman when I called the headquarters of the European branch in the UK. According to the operator, their ceo had already gone to France.
With the help of the European branch, Jester contacted Claudia, who was far away in the United States.
Some time ago, the CES Show was the pre-sale of his dreambox game console, so he didn't have time to pay attention to news from Europe. After all, the European market has just begun, and at present, it is not his mainstream. Even Claudia's sales data during Christmas sent back some time ago, he just glanced at it and did not pay too much attention.
This time he was on the phone with Claudia. Jester hurriedly looked up the sales data sent by Claudia and looked through it carefully. He didn't know if he didn't look carefully before. This time, Jester was shocked after looking carefully.
He really didn't expect that the card game "World Storm" designed by the card factory he acquired was sold so popular in Europe.
The success of Pokemon electronic pet machine was expected by Jester, because it was originally a toy that was killed in the world. Lonely children, especially girls, could not resist the temptation brought by this toy. Moreover, because this is a toy that requires players to cultivate their own Pokemon with persistent love and careful cultivation, parents are also very happy to buy such a copy for their children as a Christmas gift.
With the combat function between them, you can also be very yearning for boys who are not very interested in raising pets.
So Pokemon electronic pet machines were sold in shopping malls in the UK, France and Germany at the same time during Christmas. Nearly one million pet machines prepared for this Christmas event were sold out in just one day, forcing Claudia to contact the United States to ship goods to Europe immediately.
And even if Christmas ends, the sales boom of this pet machine has not ended. Until New Year's Day, nearly three million units were sold in Europe. This number also made Jester feel a little incredible because this number is more than the sales data of the entire North American market during Christmas.
Of course, this may be because the electronic pet machine was released in the United States for a long time.
But the success of the card game "World Storm" in the sales data sent by Claudia was really shocking to Jester.
When this card game was just released, although Claudia had a lot of publicity before, the sales can only be said to be average. Although it is good, it is definitely not good. However, by chance, BBC made a program about top students from universities such as Cambridge and Oxford in their spare time.
The card game "World Storm" has only begun to enter the public's attention.
The crew of the program BBC unexpectedly discovered that in his spare time, the students of Oxford and Cambridge, the two most popular institutions in the UK, who have been fighting openly and secretly for hundreds of years, like this card game that is very suitable for gathering together.
Moreover, these people praised this game. The biggest regret of this game in their mouth is that there are no characters from their British Empire in these cards.
