Game Development Giant

Standing on the stage hosting the press conference, Jester pressed his hands down three times in a row, hoping that the players present would quiet down. However, the atmosphere was too warm, and enthusiastic players always cheered one after another. .

In desperation, Jester had no choice but to keep saying thank you through the microphone.

This situation lasted for more than ten minutes before the audience showed signs of quieting down. Jester stood on the stage overlooking the entire scene. Although he had already expected it before, fearing that there was not enough space, he temporarily rented the Lasvi It is the largest exhibition hall in the Gas Convention and Exhibition Center, but the conference site is still crowded with players who like Mars entertainment games. Looking at the dark scene in front of him, he has a feeling similar to the one held in the small exhibition hall at Nintendo. The press conference had a completely different feel.

He felt that he had been too worried about Nintendo before, and that he had underestimated himself too much.

In North America now, it is itself that has the advantage, not Nintendo.

Maybe he had too deep an impression of the domineering aura of Nintendo in later generations before it appeared. After all, Nintendo at that time was basically invincible in the field of video games. It was once a company with less than a thousand people. , the annual profit reached the second place in Japan, second only to Toyota, which had more than 100,000 employees at that time.

Jester bowed first, then smiled and spoke in a sincere tone.

As soon as he finished speaking, earth-shaking cheers erupted once again from below the stage. For players of this era, this was the first time that they were promoted so high by a game company, which made them unable to help but Produce a feeling of superiority.

In fact, for Jester, these are all innocent things that were deceived by later game companies to deceive players.

They say one thing, but actually do another, and the players just stick to it.

Jester waited for the scene to quiet down automatically before he continued: "I made my first game for some reason more than half a year ago. As you know, many people have played it, and it was "American Cube" At that time, due to the impact of Atari's impact, the video game market was in a slump. I was thinking, why is the video game market sluggish? Is it really like what those people said, that video games are already obsolete? To be swept into the corner of the Encyclopedia of the Twentieth Century as an entry that will surely be forgotten?”

Jester didn't speak fast, he spoke very seriously and carefully.

"At that time, I was thinking about why this was, why people's enthusiasm for it seemed to change from fanaticism to indifference quickly, but I thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure it out until one day, I saw the brother of one of my friends. , had a lot of fun playing with Lego bricks. Every time he used Lego bricks to build something different, he would dance with excitement, and would even take the initiative to drag his brother to see what he had just accomplished."

Jester clasped his hands on his chest, and the memory in his eyes became more and more intense. He had previously consulted professors from the professional acting department on how to perform various convincing expressions, and even practiced for three days. , seeing the players in the audience being tricked by him, he felt that the previous preparations were worth it. In fact, the players didn't care at all whether there was such a thing, but whether they agreed or not.

...Even if it doesn't exist, as long as the players think it is true, the falsehood will become true.

"I saw a very innocent smile on my friend's brother's face. It was a smile from the bottom of my heart and the purest happiness. I suddenly had an understanding that video games are related to this. Aren't they the same? They are the same kind of toys, and the difference is that the people playing with them are different. But toys, in essence, don't bring happiness to people? So, when I looked back, I found that when When the market is flooded with shoddy games that don’t provide us with happiness, then video games are dead.”

As he spoke, Jester smiled, and his tone became a little excited.

The players in the audience once again burst into warm cheers as he spoke.

"But at the same time, I'm thinking, if I can make a game that can bring people happiness, will video games be accepted by people again? Will people like my "Pong" as much as they like Atari's Pong?" Where's the American Cube? I don't know."

Having said this, Jester bowed deeply once again, and his tone became extremely emotional: "I just firmly believed that if a game can bring people happiness for a long time, then it will definitely be loved by others. I love it. It is with this thought that I set up Mars Entertainment without hesitation to promote this block-building game that I just made with my head. It is you, the simplest players, who made this game gain huge popularity. success."

Next, Jester said a lot of angry words, and the audience in the audience was very moved. They were extremely satisfied that the boss of a game company could thank them in this manner.

After all, Jester is now the youngest billionaire in the United States. Although he just lost the final selection of the best young entrepreneurs in the United States by the Association of American Business Schools, almost all the media are complaining about him. It is very inappropriate to think that Jester was not selected. At present, in the entire United States, no entrepreneur under the age of 30 has achieved anything comparable to Jester.

Some media even used racially discriminatory arguments.

But Jester doesn't care much about this, it's just a false name, and he doesn't lack the false name now. It's better to have this thing, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't have it.

If he wants fame, he has many channels to obtain it.

"So, after achieving some success in arcade games, many people are saying that I have rekindled hope in the gaming industry, but I personally do not agree with this statement, because I know that only home game consoles are accepted again. , video games can truly recover. I saw the success of Nintendo's FC game console in Japan at that time. You must know that after the Atari impact broke out, the "Asahi Shimbun", like our media, also sang bad words in Japan. I used to have video games, but now they are back on the rise! I was thinking, can I revitalize home console gaming? I don’t know, but I know, I have to do it, there is no reason, that’s me It had to be done, that’s what I thought at the time.”

"So, today's press conference is a pure game console, just for playing games. It is not an advanced video system, nor is it a super entertainment system. It is just for players who like video games. A console for their favorite games, just-play-for-fun!”

After Jester finished speaking, the audience in the audience was also completely moved by his speech, and loud roars suddenly sounded. Regardless of men and women, they all clapped their hands with all their strength, and even many people Tears of excitement flowed from his eyes. Jester’s speech was indeed very touching, especially for those who really love video games, it spoke to their hearts.

...Especially the sentence "It's just for the joy of playing" resonated with these people.

"Now, here is the protagonist of our press conference. I will bring it to you right away. Our Mars Entertainment game console is on stage." As he spoke, Jester also clapped his hands, and under his gaze, , the eyes of everyone present also moved to the entrance of the stage, where a little girl with long golden hair, only eleven or twelve years old, wearing light yellow clothes walked up carrying a tray.

The little girl was still a little nervous. When she walked to the stage and saw so many people below the stage looking at her, she was at a loss. When Jester saw this, he was afraid of an accident and took the initiative to greet her. He walked quickly I walked up to the little girl and took the tray in her hand. The tray was covered with a green cloth and had a high bulge. Although I didn't know the specific appearance of the objects inside, I could generally see the outline. , obviously, here is the game console of Mars Entertainment that Jester mentioned.

Jester took the little girl's hand and walked to the center of the stage. He smiled and said to everyone present: "This little girl is called Christina. Although she is young, she likes us very much just like you." Game, and in this letter, the name she gave our game console was approved by the vast majority of our hardware R\u0026D team, and received the most votes, so we asked her to announce the first console of our Mars Entertainment The name of a home game console.”

After saying that, Jester took the initiative to applaud. It is easier for a little girl to gain recognition and sympathy from others, and she is such a shy little girl.

There must be many people in the audience below who have written letters. If there are other people, they may be a little dissatisfied because they all feel that the name they chose should be elected, but it would be different if the elected person is a little girl, because no one They will have the same understanding as a little girl. Even if they don't agree with the little girl's name, they will not openly say that their name is better than the little girl's.

If someone really said that, it would basically only make people laugh: How old are you, and you still care about this with a little girl. rs
