Chapter 476 Rumors
Hearing Jester ask this question.
Kansot, the numerical designer of "Age of Empire", pondered for a moment, and then pondered: "This is hard to say. I can only say that it is much easier to balance the numerical values than "Age of Empire". Moreover, in terms of the differences in races, three or four different races are much easier to design than fifteen."
Although some people say this, some people still have different opinions.
"But, boss, have you ever thought about a question?" Williams, the level designer of "Age of Empires", said tentatively. When he saw Jester looking at him, he didn't have any delays and immediately spoke, "If there are only three forces or four forces in this way, will it look a little too thin? Players may have enough of it after playing it a few times."
"hehe."
Jester chuckled and shook his head: "There is no need to worry about this. In fact, the settings of the ten or fifteen of us before were just because when choosing the game background of "Age of Empires", there were many forces that were difficult to choose, so we simply chose them together. In fact, among so many forces, there are only three or four countries or forces with great differences, and the others are just wearing a different layer of skin."
In fact, this time, Jester is not only promoting the brand new RTS game he wants to make.
"I actually have a lot of ideas about the game we will design next. My personal meaning is to continuously improve the world background set in this game to form a complete world view that can truly represent our game company."
When everyone present heard Jester say this, he looked puzzled.
Jester also felt that what he said was not clear enough, but he didn't mean to say some things now, but he still explained them as much as possible. After all, letting his subordinates understand their own ideas is the most important thing.
"I told you before that I want to design a fantasy world that is like the Lord of the Rings, which can be loved by millions, or even tens of millions of people. This time the RTS game we made is the beginning of my construction of this world."
However, after hearing Jester say this, many people showed extremely shocked expressions on their faces.
You should know that Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a real name. The beginning of Western magic novels can be said to be that many of these games nowadays, including the tabletop games with dnd rules. The source of these is not so much a medieval knight novel from hundreds of years ago, but rather a tolkien's Lord of the Rings.
Tolkien depicts a world with a complete worldview in the Lord of the Rings.
This is what Jester wants to do now.
Many people swallowed after hearing this, and they felt that Jester's idea was a bit unrealistic: "Boss. To be honest, this horror cannot be accomplished just by a few games."
Although others didn't speak.
However, Jester can still tell from their expressions. They all agree with the sentence just now.
Jester knew that it would be unrealistic to let them believe that what they said would definitely be fulfilled, so it would be a bit unrealistic. He was not in a hurry. He stood up, stretched his waist, and said tiredly: "Let's do this first. I will arrange the "Runish Guardian" in a few days and then we will hold a meeting to discuss in detail how to make this game. I will take time to make the game's world line and background settings in the past few days."
As he said that, Jester paused for a moment.
"I decided to launch related novels and comics at the same time for this game. When our game starts to develop, I will find the people of the Son of Mars to perfect this matter."
After saying that, Jester asked someone to leave.
Jester is becoming increasingly tempting to build the Son of Mars towards the Son of Blizzard. Now there are more than fourteen Sons of Mars, and the Son of Mars has very strict requirements for the quota of selection. It is necessary for those with great talent in the field of art to be selected.
Moreover, you can only be selected at most one candidate every year. No matter how outstanding the other candidates are, there will only be one place within one year.
Even if there are no suitable personnel this year, no one will be selected.
The current son of Mars has become quite as powerful as the son of the Storm more than 20 years later. It can almost be called the best painter in the entire electronic game field, and is very talented.
And there are a few of them who are very interested in writing novels.
Therefore, Jester planned to give the plot novel about the World of Azeroth to these people to perfect it. Of course, he will also participate in the main world line, but he cannot even be responsible for all the branches and leaves, and can only be left to others to do it.
In fact, it is not just a small studio like Ximu Tou who is interested in RTS.
In fact, in the United States, many game companies have decided to develop a similar one to make a quick money after seeing the popularity of RTS games on PC. When Mars Entertainment launched "Thor Hammer", many people were jealous of it.
However, it is too difficult to independently develop a 3D engine. Moreover, new engines here in Mars Entertainment are also under development. If you develop such an engine yourself, if the game fails, the loss will be great. PC games are not like console games.
Sales volume is no longer high.
The developers of console games have also considered porting pseudo-3D games to home machines. However, because of the special nature of FPS games, players using controllers have no way to play happily. Compared with the game experience on PC, the gap cannot be calculated in the Tao.
Jester is also a little hehe.
FPS can make great achievements on the console, so I really have to thank "Hao". If it weren't for the classic setting of "Hao" assisted aiming, the guns in the car and gun balls that dominate the game world in the future would no longer exist.
From "Assassination of Hitra" or furthermore, from "Doom" to the emergence of "Hao", it has appeared for four or five years. Moreover, the current host function does not allow, and the capacity of the cartridge is not allowed. Therefore, in a short period of time, Jester is not optimistic about the performance of FPS games on home consoles.
In the next period of time, Jester was quite regular.
The RTS game about the Azeroth World was planned by Jester and would not start making it after he got married. Now, the most important thing for him is to complete "The Stone Guardian" first.
However, as a benchmark figure in the world's electronic game industry, Jester's every move is naturally widely concerned.
Especially the news that he is developing a new game.
"What, Jester is developing a new game? One of the RTS games he has mentioned before? I don't like this type of game. I like RPG, but unfortunately Jester has not made many RPG games..." When a college student player was talking to his friend, someone talked about the news that Jester was developing recently, and said this casually.
But soon, his friend shook his head.
"No, you guessed it wrong this time. According to the reports on "Game" I bought recently, although Jester's RTS game is already in the internal plan, it is still under discussion. It is said that this RTS is a very big plan. Not only will there be games, but there will also be novels and comics about this game. However, "The Stone Guardian" is just a small game."
The speaker was a little proud, and obviously he was a little complacent about knowing what others didn't know.
"real?"
The college student who was a little uneasy before suddenly became interested. After all, from the name of this game, he felt that this game was most likely his favorite RPG game, because his type of game was unlikely to be called such a name with such a clear direction.
"Of course!"
The answer was still a little proud, and he continued to speak eloquently.
"Although it is a small game, it was also thought about by Jester. Moreover, this game of Jester this time only found two new employees who had just joined the company and went to Mars Entertainment to help. In other words, a lot of the contents were made by Jester himself!"
However, after hearing this, the other party obviously showed a lack of interest on his face again. He said with some speculation: "Then this game will not be of average quality, right? After all, it is only Jester, and two newbies made it. No matter how powerful Jester is, can one of them be as good as ten?"
"Ph! What are you talking about?"
Obviously, because the other party's slander for Jester caused dissatisfaction with the man who looked a little proud of him. It seems that this man should be a die-hard fan of Jester.
"Let me tell you, which game made by Jester is not a high-quality product? This time it's just because Jester thinks this game is just a small game, so there is no need to let too many people participate in the research and development. It's enough to find two interns to help, and it's enough to start."
As he said that, the man licked his lips, and his eyes showed an envious look.
Chapter completed!
