Game Development Giant

However, this extremely emotional statement was recognized by everyone the moment he finished shouting.

Almost everyone present stood up in unison and applauded Jester with all their strength. Some even clenched their fists, waved their arms vigorously, and kept making weird sounds in their mouths. The cry seemed to be venting the excitement deep in his heart.

After saying the previous paragraph, Jester's inner emotions were almost vented, and he returned to his usual calm demeanor.

Thanks.

Seeing the continuous expressions of support from the people present, Jieste was also a little moved. He bowed slightly and said thank you. Then he looked at the blond young man just now. This young man saw Jie. Jester looked at him and smiled awkwardly, while Jester shrugged and said humorously: Actually, what you said is not bad. It seems that the bonus for the carnival has been increased to 200,000 US dollars. You don’t dare to make this decision, so if I were you, my point of view would be the same as yours.”

After hearing Jester's words, the blond young man also nodded vigorously.

To be honest, don't look at the fact that I have set a bonus of 200,000 US dollars for a game competition that not many people pay attention to. Even some real Olympic sports are not as high as this bonus, but I want to What I’m telling you is that in the future, the total prize money for an e-sports competition will reach one million US dollars or ten million US dollars, and this will definitely be achieved.”

Although Jester said very firmly, he could see from the faces of the people present that they did not believe what Jester said. They even thought that even if they could complete what Jester just said, they would E-sports has become a truly healthy community. It is no longer an abnormal body with only input but no output, so it is impossible to be in one competition. Reaching a $10 million prize.

What is the concept of ten million dollars?

Although they don't have so much money, it doesn't affect their understanding of the purchasing power of ten million US dollars. To put it bluntly, there are no sports prizes that can reach this amount.

Seeing the unbelieving looks on other people's faces, Jester just smiled. He didn't want to explain, because there was no way to explain it, because in Dota 2, he really relied on crowdfunding to collect a bonus of 10 million US dollars. At that time, before that, no one dared to believe that this was true. This thing, like a dream, actually happened before my eyes.

And that’s only a quarter of the crowdfunding effort.

This is why Jester, including Jester, later discussed with him the issue of the deformation of e-sports, and admired Valve’s Dota 2 initiative, because Valve not only did not spend any money by organizing a world competition, but also earned at least The net income of 20 million U.S. dollars comes entirely from Dota 2 players, regardless of how the game Dota 2 is. For this alone, Valve and Dota 2 can be recorded in history forever.

What about another Dota-like game?

It's just relying on its global strength to continue on Blizzard's closed and extremely deformed old path. It is impossible to allow players to participate and let the entire game community win together. This kind of abnormal community policy is when a game is still in its peak period. You may not be able to see anything, but once it starts to decline, it will be unstoppable.

The key is. Blizzard's StarCraft 2 did not stir up the banner of StarCraft 1. After Warcraft 3 declined due to various reasons, they still had World of Warcraft to carry the banner. These losses are not considered to them. What.

But what about fists?

For this company that only relies on one game, LoL, if this game declines as time goes by - and this is inevitable, no kingship can last forever. This is what countless realities tell us, how can they rely on it? What can they use to continue to maintain their status or make profits? At this time, countless things flashed through Jester's mind. He suddenly remembered an old saying, which seemed to be extremely correct when applied to fists.

Watch him build tall buildings, watch him entertain guests, and watch his buildings collapse.

There will come a day.

Although the people present still didn't believe it, Jester repeated it in a more precise tone. He said it with such certainty that everyone present could not believe it.

They know that their boss has always been a person who has always had an opinion and has never heard of him having any habit of bragging. If you connect what you said, they still have an unrealistic feeling, which is completely beyond their cognition.

As if Jester wanted to keep his words to himself, he smiled and continued to add: Maybe it's not just ten million dollars.

Under the eyes of everyone in disbelief, Jester waved to Li Fuzhen, who had been standing aside just now, indicating that she could leave, and that he would take her to visit other places.

And Li Fuzhen also quickly followed.

It seemed that Li Jianxi's daughter was also full of doubts about what Jester said before. She frowned her beautiful eyebrows. After following Jester's footsteps, she couldn't help asking: What did you just say? Are those all true? You’re not lying to them!”

hehe.

Jester chuckled and shook his head: I can only say that what I said is what I think is possible.

After finishing speaking, Jester has led him to a development room on the underground floor. This development room has the strictest security measures and even has a fingerprint recognition system. People who are not in this system cannot enter at all. This is also the development center of Mars Entertainment's top-secret development projects, and many secret development projects are carried out here.

As for why he would let a person who is not related to his company come to this place that is considered a forbidden area for many Mars Entertainment employees, it is just because Jester feels that he needs to let Li Jianxi, the man behind Li Fuzhen, know something about Mars Entertainment. After all, , Li Jianxi’s Li family is the second largest shareholder of Jester Holdings.

Even if he doesn't bring Li Fuzhen here, he will send the next quarter's financial report to Li Jianxi.

This is also the reason why when Jester wanted to secretly form a handheld mobile phone development team for fear of leaks, he could only set up a leather bag company outside to do it. After this lesson, Jester directly built it underneath. This is the development center.

Currently, there are only three project teams working on development tasks in this development center. This is a task that is rare in Mars Entertainment. Even employees within the company, as long as they are not related personnel, must be kept completely confidential. One of them , is the development of a 32-bit game console, and the second is a color screen handheld game console. These two projects are long-term. The current development team has very few people, and they are only making project plans. .

However, what is certain is that for the 32-bit home game console, Jester’s instructions were to improve 3D performance at all costs. At that time, Jester’s exact words to the development core of the next-generation home console were: : I want our next-generation game console to be perfect in terms of 3D performance and 3D processing.

The third and final development project is the development of the Unreal II engine that Carmack is currently undertaking intensively.

This is no longer a pseudo 3D engine, but a real, powerful engine that can simulate the real 3D world. The number of people in this development team is not large. In fact, at the beginning, Carmack even It was said that he alone was enough. Jester had never doubted whether Carmack could complete the world's best engine by himself. He had never even had such an idea.

Because whether it is now or in the world in his mind, Carmack is the authority in 3D engines of this era, the first person, and no second person can compare with him in 3D engines.

However, considering the development time, Jester did not hesitate to reject Carmack's proposal. The reason for Jester's rejection was very simple: I require a perfect engine within four months. You Can one person do it?”

Then, Carmack shook his head decisively.

Three assistants were selected from those who had worked together before to conduct research and development together - this time there was one more than the first time.

When Jester saw Carmack, Carmack was as usual, his eyes were red, and he had obviously not slept all night again.

Although this time it was being developed secretly in the secret development department, this did not prevent Carmack from hoarding a whole refrigerator of Coke and a warehouse of instant noodles here. And this one is not big, with seven or eight units on it. The computer room with the screen on was filled with a lingering weird smell. Jester sniffed hard, and it seemed that there were various unpleasant smells sandwiched together. This smell was very unpleasant. It's unbearable.

And Li Fuzhen, a girl who always washed herself well, turned around instantly when she saw the situation in this room again.

When Carmack saw someone coming in, he looked up. After he recognized Jester, his face immediately showed a look of extreme surprise. He quickly stood up and rushed to Jester's side in a few steps. , grabbed one of Jester's arms, and then pulled Jester to his work computer.

Look! Look what we accomplished!

Pointing at the flashing computer screen, Carmack had a look of pride that could not be concealed. (To be continued...)
