Game Development Giant

The killing mode is not determined by one sentence.

In the killing mode, before starting, both parties can negotiate the number of games, the minimum is nine, the longest is arbitrary - of course, it must be an odd number, because only an odd number can determine the winner.

This time, Jester and Carmack were actually testing the system and not really playing the game. Therefore, in many cases, the main purpose is not to win or lose in one sentence. Every test After discovering any problems with the system, they will immediately record them and wait for discussion after the test is completed.

The number of games is set at the maximum number of ninety-nine. Although there is no limit to the number of games that can be set, considering that more games are meaningless, the highest number of games is ninety-nine.

They just want it to be convenient for testing and to be able to play game after game.

However, I played from morning to noon, and after hurriedly eating some pizza from a takeaway shop, I continued to forget about food and sleep~~~.~s~played until the afternoon. Although it took a full day of testing, Jester saw that Everyone was still full of energy and energy, and seemed to want to fight for another 300 rounds.

He also sighed. He knew that FPS was very attractive, but he didn't expect it to be this big. But when Jester said he didn't want to play anymore, he would naturally continue to make up for it. In the eyes of the entire development team, this game is the most fun game in the world.

I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest first. By the way, let's prepare ourselves for three days of testing. We will sort out the bugs and correct them before sending them to the members of our test team. After they finish the test, they will get the test report. Just prepare to restore it, it must be completed before the carnival.”

Before leaving, Jester gave Carmack this instruction.

Now, after several years of construction, a closed testing team of several hundred people has been selected from the most loyal players. These people have signed a confidentiality agreement with Mars Entertainment, and then Mars Entertainment will send the original version of the game to this person. After these people have tested it, they will write their feedback and return it to Mars Entertainment.

Although leaks are impossible to avoid, this testing strategy has indeed allowed Mars Entertainment's games to avoid many perceived systemic bugs. And because the limelight has passed, Bai Lang, who has been there for several years, has also returned to the United States. Wanwan still can't go, but traveling to and from the United States no longer matters. Jester met him. The last time he went to China, Bai Lang was not in Shanghai, so he didn't meet him. Although they had constant correspondence in the past two years, they didn't meet him in person. As soon as we met, it was inevitable to reminisce about old times.

Bai Lang himself said that he had a good life in China, and he also had his own connections. His uncle once served as the vice president of the Party School of China. He was defeated in ten years of catastrophe, but now he has been rehabilitated, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world. Therefore, it is very popular in China.

Moreover, White Wolf also brought Jester more than a dozen authentic Jiang hams, which are very rare in China and are basically favored by the powerful.

This actually made Jester overjoyed.

Jester has a special liking for food both in this life and the next life, but he had no money in his previous life and no opportunity in this life. There are many delicacies that he has only seen in books, and he can only eat them. Hearing its name but not tasting its taste.

Among them is this Jiang ham.

There is an allusion to the so-called Shangjiang ham. One of Jester’s favorite food works is Suiyuan Food List written by Yuan Mei of the Qing Dynasty. In this book, he highly praised Shangjiang ham, but Shangjiang ham is the most popular one. Jiang Ham became famous only in the late Qing Dynasty.

At that time, Hu Xueyan went to the capital to give gifts and brought Jiang ham, which he thought was very delicious. Unexpectedly, the dignitaries in the capital also thought that the ham sent by Hu Xueyan was full of flavor and a perfect product, so they asked Hu Xueyan where it came from. Ham.

Hu Xueyan didn't hide anything and answered directly: Chiang is above Dongyang in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Then Jiang ham became famous all over the world.

In fact, having said all that, this Shangjiang ham is Jinhua ham, but because the best Jinhua ham is cured in Shangjiang Village, it is also called Jiang legs, so there is the saying that Jiangsu Dongyang Shangjiang ham, Because the founder of Shangjiang Ham is called Jiang Xuefang, Xuefang Jiang’s reputation was well-known in the past or in later generations.

When Jester's grandfather was still in China, he had eaten Jiang ham. Jester had followed his grandfather all year round when he was a child, so he naturally knew that his grandfather had never forgotten Jiang ham.

When he received this gift from Bai Lang, he immediately thought of his grandfather. After asking Bai Lang, Jester also knew that his grandfather had lived a good life in China these years and was even in good health. Everything has improved a lot. I travel around every day. Grandpa Jester even recommended this Jiang ham to White Wolf. After tasting it, White Wolf thought it was delicious and incomparable, so he bought a lot of it and gave it to Jester. St.'s.

Bai Lang's return to the United States will not last long. He also likes the country now. He will handle personal matters in the United States and return in a few days.

These are all trivial things. The most important thing to Jester right now is the upcoming Mars Entertainment Carnival. This is the first time he has held such a gathering of global game fans, but fortunately he has done so many times before. With the experience of large-scale sales meetings, my team did not appear panicked when preparing.

With only three days left before the official opening, fans from all over the world came to the host venue of the carnival prepared by Jester, which is located at the Anaheim Convention Center not far from Costa Mesa. This The place was also an almost unbeatable location for Blizzard to hold BlizzCon.

After visiting it once, Jester found that this place was indeed very suitable, so he decided to hold his carnival here.

Before the carnival begins there will be qualifiers for Jester’s eSports main event.

The top three selected in each region are qualified to participate in the world finals held at the carnival, and Mars Entertainment is responsible for the entire ticket and speed. Even if they don't get the bonus in the end, it is still a free trip.

Of course, the carnival only lasts for two days, and of course it is impossible for twenty or thirty players from all over the world to compete in the carnival. There will be a qualifier before the carnival officially starts, and the top eight will be selected to compete in the carnival venue. of the final.

Of course, without the live broadcast technology of later generations, it is of course impossible to have any live broadcast of these qualifying matches.

However, these qualifying games allow players who like it to go to the venue to watch them. The location is not at the Anaheim Convention Center, but in another place.

There are two projects in total, and each project has more than 20 candidates. Such a competition is also very time-consuming. In order to ensure as much fairness as possible, the qualifying system adopted is a points competition, that is, every contestant has You have to compete with contestants who are not your own, and then based on the final points, select the eight with the highest points to enter the final eight.

Umehara Daigo is the champion of the Japanese region, and he is also the player with the highest reputation for winning this year. And because of his age, he has even attracted the attention of a lot of American media.

However, the American media does not think that the fact that a ten-year-old child can participate in the competition means that the child is powerful. After all, no matter how powerful this child is, he is just a ten-year-old child. In the eyes of these American media, the level of Japanese players is too poor. Let a kid win the championship.

When the other two Japanese players saw the contemptuous look on the face of the German player who was playing against Umehara Daigo, they all showed malicious expressions. Didn't they look down on Umehara Daigo in the first place? How it ends, only the final championship won by Umehara Daigo is enough to explain one or two things.

There was no suspense in the game. The young man from Germany was defeated by Umehara Daigo with two perfect kills in just five minutes. According to the rules of the qualifiers, this was a game. There are three wins and two losses in each game, and then there are five games. However, there is a special situation. If a player is defeated by another player with perfect kills in two consecutive games in a game, then regardless of the player at the time, What is the result of the game, this one is defeated and loses the game immediately.

In other words, in a game that originally required five games or at least six games, Umehara Daigo settled the battle in just two games.

The German who lost was called Hans Kommer. He was second in the Federal German District qualifiers. His level was definitely not weak. He had competed with many people before the game, so many people knew about his strength. , when they saw that in his first game, he was easily defeated by the kid who they always thought was a joke.

Immediately, no one could sit still.

The schedule is still very tight. After Umehara Daigo won the first game, he only rested for less than ten minutes. His second game will start immediately. This time it is a French player. He had already known before that this kid, who didn't look like he was ten years old, had easily defeated Hans Komer, whose level was not lower than his own, in the first game.

Therefore, this French player is also very cautious.
