Game Development Giant

At the same time, Jester also clenched his fists hard.

To be honest, although the conditions he offered were very difficult to refuse, he could not guarantee that Nakayama Hayao would be able to make the choice he hoped for.

Because this is indeed a very stubborn old man. If he is determined to reject his request, no matter how good the conditions he offers, he will not be able to impress the other party.

Moreover, this time, Jester did not bargain with the other party at all, nor did he make any reservations when issuing his own conditions. What he stated in the file in the folder was the largest he could offer. conditions.

Although he was a little worried before, at least Nakayama Hayao made the choice he wanted.

Of course, the price Jester paid was not small.

Two games, I wonder when Mr. Li will start developing the first one? After shaking hands with Jester, Nakayama Hayao immediately asked impatiently.

What he asked about was not the game that developed its own world as Jester mentioned before.

Rather, it was the conditions that Jester had offered to Nakayama Hayao and Sega for Suzuki Yu in that document.

That is, within five years, Jester will personally develop two games for Sega. The platform will be Sega’s MD console. And if within five years, Jester’s open world game will not be available yet. If it is completed or the project is not cancelled, Jester will develop a game for Sega every year, and the development platform will be Sega's choice.

Of course, development funds and development personnel need to be provided by Sega.

If Sega doesn't provide it, then Jester can also be transferred from Mars Entertainment, but the development team's salary needs to be paid by Sega.

And, everything after this agreement. The games developed by Jester for Sega all have a certain bottom line in terms of sales. Each game will not be less than one million copies. If it does not meet this standard, then Mars Entertainment will make up for the rest. .

Of course, the copyright of the game also belongs to Sega.

It can be said that this is a very harsh terms for Jester, much more harsh than the terms when he first cooperated with Sega. The most important thing is. At that time, Jester's status in the field of video games was far from as high as Jester is now.

In terms of reputation and influence, Jester's reputation at this time has at least increased tenfold compared to the last time he cooperated with Sega.

Of course, two games in five years is indeed a bit small. If it were Yu Suzuki, he could probably develop four games in five years. After all, not everyone is like Jester, who has countless game templates in his mind and seems to not need to think at all. You can come up with a brand new game for development, but you have to consider that Suzuki Yu's influence in the field of video games is far from comparable to Jester.

The most critical point.

That is. If a new game by Jester will only be released on Sega's MD console, then the sales volume of the MD console will be affected. How big a driving force will be the platform’s share of the market?

Moreover, even if Jester is developing games for Sega and not for himself, he will inevitably not pay much attention to the development and will not try his best. However, despite this, Jester will still care about his reputation very much, because He is almost a symbol of video games now, and countless players have almost faith in his expectations. These people will never allow Jester to fail.

More importantly, in the mind of Nakayama Hayao.

He doesn't expect Jester to be able to make a shocking game like Quake on Sega's md platform. He just expects Jester to be able to make a game like Dream Simulation Battle. That's it.

Although the game Dream Simulation War is not very eye-catching among Jester's many games.

But in fact, the evaluation of this game is still very high. Although the sales are boosted by Jester Halo, even after deducting the bonus sales, the sales of this game are still very amazing.

The reason why this game is rarely mentioned is just because it is a game developed by Jester, and Jester has developed so many amazing games that it is not worth it for a mere good game. Too much bragging.

first set.

After Jester heard Nakayama Hayao's question, he smiled.

President Zhongshan, actually, I have been considering this matter before. Before the carnival, I arranged for people to start preparations. After the carnival, we can officially start and the finished product can be produced within half a year. Are you Are you planning to send people to the United States? Or are you planning to let me transfer from within Mars Entertainment?

This answer really surprised Nakayama Hayao, and he couldn't help but ask.

Mr. Li, do you think that I will definitely agree to your condition?

No. Jester shook his head, denying Hayao Nakayama's speculation, and then explained, It's not that I was sure that you could agree to my conditions before, but that even if you agree, for me There’s nothing to lose, it’s just that I can do it myself.”

Can you tell me what type of game it is?

Suzuki Yu, who had been listening without saying much, suddenly asked at this time.

Jester smiled and answered his question.

I haven't developed an action-type side-scrolling game for a long time, so I want to develop one.

After Jester finished speaking, Suzuki Yu seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Jester also observed this very keenly. He couldn't help but smile and said: If you have anything to do, Mr. Suzuki, just ask him. When you finish handling the matter at hand, we will be colleagues. Since we are colleagues, from now on It requires close cooperation. If it’s about games, what is there that we can’t talk about?”

hehe.

Hearing what Jester said, Suzuki Yu smiled awkwardly.

That's not the case. I just want to ask, can I participate in the development of this game?

Ha ha.

Jester laughed loudly after hearing Suzuki Yu's answer. He waved his hands indifferently: I thought it was something. Let's put it this way, Mr. Suzuki, since I have reached a cooperation with Nakayama Hayao, as long as it is In the past five years, you can participate in the development of all the games I have participated in, as long as you are willing, of course, I will not pay you another salary.

After saying that, Jester also laughed.

Aren't you afraid that Suzuki will learn from your experience in game development? After hearing what Jester said, Nakayama Hayao couldn't help but ask.

I'm not someone who likes to be self-conscious. I have cooperated with Mr. Suzuki. You can ask Mr. Suzuki on this aspect.

Jester said calmly with a smile.

Indeed. Suzuki Yuya nodded and admitted this. A few years ago, when he participated in the development of a certain game at Mars Entertainment, he could indeed feel the influence of Mars Entertainment and Jester in game development. That unique spirit.

After chatting casually for a few more words, Suzuki Yu and Nakayama Hayao left.

After all, everything that needs to be discussed has been discussed.

As for the carnival, the two of them have not watched it carefully. After all, if there are any details that have not been discussed, they can continue to talk in detail after the carnival is over. But if they don’t take a tour of the carnival, there will be nothing until the carnival is over. It’s the carnival, and if you want to visit, you’ll have to wait until next year.

Jester was a little bored. He couldn't just wander around the carnival venue.

Because he is so famous, almost all the tens of thousands of fans who come here know him. If he hangs out at the scene, it may cause everyone to watch and unintentionally disrupt the order of the scene.

Therefore, Jester can only walk around behind the scenes casually, and then use the on-site surveillance video to see how satisfied the players are with the new game they are about to launch.

While passing by a lounge, Jester saw a familiar young man holding a thick stack of white paper and thinking seriously about something.

He naturally knows the person.

It was Itagaki Tomonobu who had just been transferred back to China from Japan. Anyway, the game that Itagaki Tomonobu was responsible for had been completed. Apart from publicity, he himself had nothing to do.

The purpose is to let him complete the development plan of a game. The type is an action-type horizontal board game.

That's right, it's the game Jester plans to develop for Sega.

Seeing Itagaki Tomonobu here, Jester also walked over directly.

Although Itagaki Tomonobu has an unruly character, he respects Jester very much.

Seeing Jester come in, he immediately stood up, but Jester waved his hand and asked him to sit down. Then Jester also sat down next to him and asked casually: Why, are you still thinking about it? That game I asked you to design before?

As he spoke, Jester glanced at the thick stack of white paper in Itagaki Tomonobu's hand. The white paper was full of writings, all in Japanese. However, Jester had studied Japanese hard over the years, so in Reading and communication are no longer difficult at all.

On the white paper in Itagaki Tomonobu's hand, the name of the game was written.

It's called Shadow Blade.

Yes. After hearing Jester's question, Itagaki Tomonobu nodded quickly.

Shadow Blade, is this the name of this game? Is it the same as the Ninja Dragon you made before? Is it also a story about ninjas? After Jester heard Itagaki Tomonobu's answer, he nodded and continued. asked. (To be continued...)
