Chapter 313 Questions about the new game
"It is said that in addition to "Thor Hammer", you are still developing another game during this period? Can you reveal it a little?"
This was asked by a reporter from a game publication. Jester looked at the questioner and was a middle-aged man in his early thirties, wearing a pair of glasses. The rumors that Jester was the chief producer of two games have been widely circulated in the industry in the past few months. In fact, when Mars Entertainment was just established and Dreambox just started to conquer cities and land, Jester was famous for its prolificity. At that time, Jester was not just a developer of two games. He almost served as the producer of all Mars Entertainment's games. Even if he was not the main producer, he would definitely be one of the main plans.
It can be said that the entire cornerstone of Mars Entertainment was completely laid by Jester alone.
However, since Dreambox gained a foothold in the market, it has been rarely seen that Jester himself serves as the producer of two games developed simultaneously. From this aspect, it can be seen that Jester attaches great importance to these two games. At least in his eyes, except for him, he is not assured that others can complete the concept of these two games.
The most important thing is that this is the game idea proposed by Jester independently.
People in the game industry are well-known for Jester's game development style. Jester never makes a sequel. In other words, these are two brand new games, one of which is "Thor's Hammer" that has already given everyone endless shock, and what about the other one?
"Another game?"
Jester smiled, as if thinking about something. After more than ten seconds, his brows stretched out again, as if he had thought it through, and said, "I am indeed developing two games at the same time. Before this, both games were confidential, and our confidentiality measures were also done well. At least before we developed external testing, the outside world was still speculating on what kind of game our "Thor Hammer" was. But I can say a lot about the other game, but not here. This is the press conference of "Thor Hammer". I would not and should not say too much about "Thor Hammer", otherwise. This is a disrespect for the game "Thor Hammer" and a development team of "Thor Hammer".
After pausing for a moment, Jester glanced at the audience. Obviously, the people present were very dissatisfied with Jester's answer, so Jester thought for a while and added, saying, "Let's do this, I had a plan before. I was going to hold a press conference on this game at the end of this month or early next month to introduce this game in detail. There is only one reason why it was not arranged for this carnival, that is, this game is still in the final preparation, and there is still about a month before the final production is completed. So I think that time is the most suitable."
Of course, the people present obviously did not want to let Jester go so simply on this issue. After the mystery of "Thor Hammer" was completely revealed, their interest in another game that was still hidden by Jester was naturally increased.
Moreover, according to Jester's habit of rarely accepting interviews from the outside world, "Thor Hammer" has been released now. Whether for promotion or sales, Mars Entertainment will definitely vigorously promote "Thor Hammer" later. There will inevitably be a lot of news leaked here. Therefore, they do not want to know about the "Thor Hammer" issue, but they are not in a hurry to know, because they all understand that even if you don't say it now, in a few days, you don't need to ask, you will say it yourself.
But this game that they don’t even know the name. To go further, even if it’s a game on which platform, it’s impossible for a lot of news to be revealed in a short period of time. Just as Jester himself said, he planned to hold a press conference to announce the game only in a month.
That will take one month at the earliest.
So, the question asked by the person who was clicked next was still on this new game that Jester didn't want to say in detail: "Mr. Li, can I reveal a little bit of information? They are all the most basic, for example, what type of game is this, on which platform will this game be published, and so on?"
Jester knew that if he continued to avoid answering, then the reporters who were clicked would definitely be centered around this question. Those players obviously had greater interest in this unannounced game when they had been announced and a game that had not been announced.
After all, curiosity is a consistent quality that everyone has.
After thinking for a while, Jester still felt that a little bit of the news was leaked. Of course, this news was definitely impossible to be easily told. He had to let these questioners make some compromises, otherwise why would he compromise?
Besides, maintaining a sense of mystery is the best marketing method.
"I can briefly say, about this game that you are all very interested in, but the premise is that I hope you don't continue to ask about this game in the next time, because this is a Q&A session for "Thorhammer", not for other games. What do you think?"
The answer to Jester's question was waiting for the union of the audience.
Obviously, the current audience agrees with Jester's proposal.
After getting the consent of the audience, Jester coughed twice, cleared his throat, and then began to say: "First of all, I can say that this game has a lot to do with a product launched by Mars Entertainment a few years ago. Maybe many people knew what I was talking about when they heard me say here. That's right, it's an electronic pet machine."
Speaking of this, something strange appeared on the faces of the audience. Why has the new game been transferred to the electronic pet machine? Is it necessary to launch a new version of the electronic pet machine? But hasn't Mars Entertainment been launching a new version of the electronic pet machine in recent years? I have never seen Jester so serious before.
However, some knowledgeable people suddenly showed a thoughtful expression on their faces when Jester talked about the electronic pet machine. They obviously knew a lot about the electronic pet machine that Jester suddenly mentioned. At that time, the full name of the electronic pet machine that Mars Entertainment promoted to the outside world was the Pokemon version of the electronic pet machine.
"The name of this game is Pokemon. The origin of the name is the full name of this electronic pet machine product. In fact, this is also a game that I have considered for many years. Now, this game also has a real premise."
Faced with everyone's confusion about his words, Jester was not hesitant to explain in detail.
"My meaning is very simple. This game. At the beginning, I was positioned as a game that can be played anytime, anywhere, without limitations of time and space. However, under the circumstances, whether it was still very immature, even an independent sound chip, or a home game console that was just beginning to mature, was not enough to complete my idea of this kind of game. When I was thinking about this game, the first thing I thought of was that his best carrier was Mr. Yokoi Kohei. He used incredible creativity around the 1980s to create that gw handheld game console."
"This game console gave me a lot of inspiration. At that time, I was thinking, if I could also make a game console that could be held in my hand anytime and anywhere, and could use all the fragmented time, play whenever I want, and don't play when I don't want to play, then wouldn't the game I envisioned be made?"
"But soon, I discovered the problem. The game I asked for was not fully simulated by gw's function, so I temporarily suppressed this idea, extracted some content and system that could be completed at that time from this idea, and made an electronic pet game console. Fortunately, this product was extremely popular, which allowed me to have more information about this game that I could only keep in my mind."
"The development idea of gameboy was there at that time. To put it bluntly, at the beginning, I went to make gameboy. First of all, because the success of the electronic pet machine gave me greater confidence. I think maybe a better-performance handheld game console can be held in my hand and played anytime and anywhere will also have a large market."
"So, when gameboy was released and was greatly successful, this game was already in my mind that I have been constantly improving and correcting for several years, and it was officially included in the development agenda. To be honest, the degree of importance I attach to this game is more important to me than "Thor Hammer". After all, it has been a few years of love."
After Jester said so much, he still didn't talk about the key to the problem. These audiences were definitely not satisfied. However, Jester was honest and said that he would answer these questions carefully. Unless it was something that could not be said, Jester would not talk about him.
