Game Development Giant

Li Yongjin was in no mood all morning.

In fact, he also knows that he is just a small company, and it is reasonable to be rejected by the e3 organizing committee. However, no matter who it is, it is not easy to let go completely when encountering failures and setbacks.

It's not just Li Yongjin who can't let go, even other Daewoo employees can't let go.

Because the reply letter from e3 explains their reasons, they believe that this game lacks new ideas. In fact, Mars Entertainment only made a similar game many years ago, so it is impossible for them to pass this time. Such a game.

In other words, judging from this reply letter, e3 placed almost all the responsibility for Daewoo's failure to apply successfully on the designer of this game.

Therefore, other people in Daewoo are also a little angry towards Yao Zhuangxian.

But having said that, Yao Zhuangxian and them are only in a cooperative relationship now. The other party does not even take salary from them, but only a small share. They are not easy to talk to each other. However, this time they sent Monopoly for review, but Yao Zhuangxian proposed it himself.

Of course, the game they were developing at that time was indeed not completed yet. Even if it was accelerated, it might not be as perfect as it could be. At most, it would be a demo.

It's far better than just taking Monopoly directly.

The most important thing is that they also recognized the game Monopoly at the time, because after trying it out, they also thought it was a very fun game, but what they didn't expect was. It turned out that a few years ago, Mars Entertainment only made one game of a similar type.

Moreover, this game was on the PC platform at the time, and there was no large-scale release at that time. Therefore, except for North America, not many people have played this game from Mars Entertainment, let alone those from other places.

It’s perfectly normal that you’ve never heard of it and don’t know it.

Yao Zhuangxian is not here, so these people from Daewoo started to attack Yao Zhuangxian because of this failure.

I said at the time, even if we send a demo of Xuanyuan Sword, it might be much better than using his Monopoly.

This sentence was also approved by everyone.

Li Yongjin was so annoyed that he couldn't stand it anymore. He patted the table and said impatiently: What's the use of talking about this now? But having said that, do you think our company is really qualified to participate in e3? Do you know that the conference time has been announced now? What are those companies?”

As he spoke, Li Yongjin paused for a moment.

He looked around the people in the room with his eyes: In other words, even if the Xuanyuan Sword we are currently producing is successfully completed and debugged, do you think we will definitely be able to participate in e3?

Hearing their boss say this, everyone in Daewoo lowered their heads in shame.

It is not appropriate to put all the responsibility on Yao Zhuangxian. Moreover, he is not one of ours, and we cannot do anything to him. Moreover, our department spent 100,000 yuan on the game Monopoly from He bought it in order to participate in e3. We have postponed the release date, and since we can’t participate in e3, we will prepare for the release.

As he spoke, Li Yongjin's tone became confident again.

I'm still very optimistic about this game. It's very playable. It's very likely that sales will reach our peak. I think 20,000 units can be sold.

Hearing their boss speak so confidently, Daewoo's employees, who had been a little demoralized because they had received a reply from the e3 organizing committee, responded one after another. However, Li Yongjin obviously had not finished what he said, and he continued to shoot. He clapped his hands and asked the employees present to turn their attention to him again.

But we still have to work harder. Although our games have made a little money and given us a little fame, in some industries, if you can't do better than most people, then you can't To get ahead, we don’t have the channels and funds of those big companies to introduce European and American games, so we can only rely on ourselves.”

Our next game Xuanyuan Sword is an opportunity for us. As long as we can continue with this game according to the previously agreed process, we will definitely be successful!

Li Yongjin spoke impassionedly, and the people who listened had their blood pumping and howled one after another.

Jester didn't know what was happening on this island tens of thousands of miles away. In fact, since he wrote his comments at the end of his review of Monopoly, he had not paid attention to Daewoo at all. Regarding the matter, even when faced with a qualified review team, Jester did not explain it specifically.

In fact, there was no need for him to explain it. In other words, Jester himself had forgotten about it.

He has been very busy recently and has no time to develop the game. He needs to participate in the arrangement of some interviews and the preparation of some matters.

For example, just yesterday, he arranged an interview with the designers of the games in his company that were going to be unveiled at the e3 exhibition. These interviews were to be directly broadcast on some mainstream TV stations in Europe, America and Japan. Ste took money to buy publicity opportunities.

He didn't need to worry about things like renting a venue.

As far away as Japan.

Kazunori Yamauchi is a student who will graduate this year. There are two things before him now. One is to find a job, and the other is to find a job if he is not willing to work now. Prepare for the next postgraduate examination.

However, he has been a little restless recently and can't stand reading.

So he simply turned on the TV and tuned to the game channel he often watched. The TV screen was showing news about games.

Because the e3 exhibition is approaching recently, game news now often introduces some information about the e3 exhibition, such as speculation on new games that may be released, introductions of some game companies, and some famous game developers. A short introductory story.

As a game fan, Kazunori Yamauchi is naturally more interested in these programs.

What is being broadcast on TV now is a designer from Mars Entertainment, who is currently the person in charge of Mars Entertainment's large-scale arcade frame racing games. At this E3 exhibition, Mars Entertainment will announce their game developed in cooperation with the F1 Alliance. F1 racing arcade game.

Of course it's a large frame.

Seeing this news, Kazunori Yamauchi immediately became excited. You know, his favorite game type is racing games, and he has no interest in the casual and play-like racing games on the console. His favorite hobby is the large racing frames in arcades.

Whether it's from Mars Entertainment or Sega, he loves them all.

Of course, relatively speaking, he prefers Mars Entertainment. Although Sega released box games earlier, Kazunori Yamauchi was the instigator of such games, and it was Mars Entertainment's games.

Kazunori Yamauchi usually doesn't pay much attention to information about developers, so he doesn't know who the person being interviewed is. He just saw the name Jefferson on the TV screen and typed the name of the interviewer. Know that the other person is called Jefferson.

As for the full name, Kazunori Yamauchi is not sure because there are no subtitles on the TV.

The interview had been going on for some time, and Kazunori Yamauchi was watching from the middle.

The reporter asked a question like this: You have been engaged in game development for so many years. When Mars Entertainment was founded, you joined it and became one of the first one hundred employees. Now you have become a game developer. As the general person in charge of a large-scale game, it can be said that he has been very successful in the industry. Can you tell me who or what has had the greatest influence on you on your road to fame?

The designer named Jefferson only thought for a moment and then answered in a heartfelt tone.

Throughout this journey, there are words that have always stuck in my mind. That is what Jester Lee, the founder of the company, once said to me - remember that there are various industries in the world, and the industry you are engaged in is important to me. In terms of the world, it is a dispensable thing. It is difficult to say that games are a necessity for a person's life and survival. However, in countries and societies with affluent life and developed spiritual civilization, games are very necessary. When the world further develops , when people’s living standards have improved to a certain level, game enthusiasts will increase worldwide. You have to firmly believe that this day will eventually come, and you have to invest in game creation with this passion and determination.”

At this point, Jefferson paused for a moment, as if to take a breath, and then he continued.

The person who has the deepest influence on me is also Mr. Jester Lee. He is the greatest game designer in the world, bar none. What I don't understand is why there are still idiots in this world. To bet on game development with my boss, with all due respect, since I saw the script my boss prepared for that bet from internal channels, I think there is no need to continue this bet. Because my boss will definitely win...

Yamauchi Kazunori was quietly watching the interview on this mission.

But he didn't listen to a word of the following words. His mind kept thinking about what Jefferson said at the beginning.

Remember, there are various industries in the world, and the industry you are engaged in is dispensable to the world. It is difficult to say that games are a necessity for a person's life and survival. However, in life In countries and societies that are wealthy and have developed spiritual civilization, games are very necessary... (To be continued...)
