Chapter 234 Fighting Games

There is no game that has been added to the game. For example, Jester has done this in the arcade game of Mars Entertainment, and it has also been widely praised.

However, adding CG to a home machine with far less functional performance than arcade machines is a job that is not as difficult as that of arcade machines. The programs required to be written are much more complicated than those on arcade machines. In fact, "Clannad" that Jester is currently producing is also facing the same problem. If the CG setting is lost, then this game, which is already very niche, may be even more niche.

For this matter, Jester also talked to Nakayuji alone about his idea of ​​this game. After hearing this, Nakayuji also said that it was not a problem at all. After completing "Fantasy Star", he would go to the United States to help Jester complete his "clannad".

The release of "Metal Equipment" is similar to what Jester expected, and it still did not cause much trouble in Japan. Although Jester had asked the Japanese branch to promote it very hard before and followed the previous "Final Fantasy" trend, the final sales data were only less than 300,000 copies in three months. Fortunately, the sales volume in the North American market was unexpectedly good.

It seems that the American market is particularly fond of this hard-core game, and the final North American sales were frozen at 700,000.

What Jester can say in the past three months is calm. He wrote "Clannad" alone, completing its character and plot alone, and the game has a deep memory. In the last life, Jester was not a home-based player. He played this home-based masterpiece because of the recommendation of a friend. Originally, Jester was not interested in it, but he couldn't resist being recommended again and again. Moreover, this person was still his confidante, not his girlfriend, but just a female friend with a very good relationship.

In desperation, Jester went to play this game that was blown by his confidante and there was nothing on the ground and there was something in the sky, and the result was unexpectedly good. This was also the first time he had a change in the home game. The home game he originally thought was a ghost game like a ghost or a beast, but it was not. However, just when he was about to continue playing several home games with high ratings, he accidentally traveled through time, which was a pity for him.

So, this time, he took advantage of the time and interest, and first made this home-style masterpiece that he remembered very deeply, all of which were used to attract attention. He hoped that designers or players who also liked this type of game could design better home-style games.

Claudia has also discovered that the game that Jester is secretly making recently by himself. For others, Jester is keeping it secret, but for his own women, he does not need to keep it secret. Moreover, this is not a shameful game, and even the plot of this game is very touching. Although it is a work of otaku, according to Jester's understanding, many female players also like this work very much.

Just like Jester's good female friend, if it weren't for her recommendation, Jester might have missed such an excellent game.

As expected, after watching the game plot script that Jester had already completed, Claudia was also moved to tears. Jester asked her at the time, saying that this was a very oriental game. Can you really understand what I want to express in it?

What I got was a day and a night.

The hardware problem of "American Rally" has been solved in the past three months, and the project is progressing very quickly. Basically, the development of the game program is almost completed, and Jester's free time has not decreased. He continued to focus on making the niche game in his mouth. There are many different speculations in this game company. The only thing that knows about some of the contents of this game made Jester ban the password, so so far, Jester has not seen a version that matches his game.

One morning, Mark Seney walked into Jester's office with a thick notebook.

During this period, Mark Senni did not participate in specific game projects after the development of "Fireprint". He was responsible for the evaluation of all project teams and third-party companies in the entire company. This also made Jester much more relaxed. Otherwise, Jester would not be so leisurely. However, Mark Senni, who had been idle for more than half a year, obviously became itchy again. Jester recently heard that he was also making a game setting.

He didn't seriously inquire about the content, but it should be an arcade game.

A game developed based on the second version of the 16-bit arcade substrate that their company has just developed successfully. In Jester's guess, it may be the second part of "Avengers". After all, this game is still very popular among players. The transplanted version of the home machine cannot reproduce the essence of this game in its original form due to functional reasons, but it is still very popular among players of this game. The final sales volume is close to more than 2 million copies, which is a proof.

Moreover, the movie "Avengers" has been completed recently and is being produced later. The distribution company has also given them suggestions, hoping that they will release a sequel to develop this game and hype it up. It doesn't matter whether they do it or not, they just need to release this news.

But Jester did not agree.

"Do you have a new game?" Jester asked after putting what he was writing in a folder.

Mark Seney didn't hide anything. He threw the thick stack of settings in his hand onto Jester's table, then turned around and leaned into the sofa before answering: "Well, but it's not "Avengers 2", but a creativity you mentioned when we first discussed the game "Avengers".

Mark Seney was very interested in saying this, but this matter was far away. Moreover, when Jester discussed games with people, he would occasionally say some ideas and creativity that only games in later generations had. So when Mark Seney said this to him, he could not think of it for a while.

However, Mark Seni didn't care much. He said directly: "At that time, you didn't mean that you actually made these fighters from various genres into a game, let them compete in a ring, and decide the winner through the tricks of different genres. It would be better to come from all over the world and decide the strongest person in the world. That must be a very interesting thing!"

"oh!"

After Mark Seni said this, Jester slapped his head, and he remembered that he was proposing to add several protagonists with completely different styles to Mark Seni, and it is best for everyone to have different identities and completely different fighting characters to enter, such as one is proficient in Muay Thai, the other is proficient in kickboxing, the third is proficient in modern fighting, and the other is proficient in Chinese boxing...

Moreover, when he talked about this, he really thought of the most popular fighting game in the arcade halls in later generations, so he told Mark Seni.

Of course, I just mentioned it casually, but I didn't expect Mark Seni to remember it. Even in "Avengers", he followed the fighting game method that Jester mentioned at the time to create a fighting level. After playing it, Jester was very impressed. However, although it was proved that according to the arcade function at that time, it was indeed possible to complete ordinary fighting games, but it was probably not possible to be complicated.

Therefore, the plan for this fighting game was put on hold.

There are not no fighting games on the market at present. The sales of the "Kung Fu" that was beyond the reach of FC before was very high. At that time, Mark Seni also complained to Jester that if they had made a fighting game according to the concept of "Avengers", how could anyone still play such a simple "Kung Fu"? However, at that time, the sales of "Kung Fu" had exceeded one million copies, and it was extremely unnecessary to say these words.

Then ea also published a boxing game on dreambox, which is also a similar fighting game, but it is extremely original, in the first person, and the sales volume is surprisingly good. It is the second one on dreambox.

"I got the data on our new substrate before, and I found that our new basically completed the complex fighting game I planned to make at the beginning, and there was no problem at all!"

Mark Seney thought about something else when he saw Jester, and he became more and more excited as he spoke. "You can take a look at my plan first. I have read out all the information I had accumulated when I was doing "Avengers" these days, and read it carefully, including the tapes of martial artists of various schools I spent a lot of money to find at that time, and completed this setting."

“A fighting game?”

Jester thought that this was indeed a very good idea. Their mature sixteen-bit substrate had been successfully developed, but he didn't hear anything from Capcom that their CPS1 had success. However, it must have started. The last time Capcom cooperated with him, he asked inadvertently, and the other party's answer was not intended to hide it. There was no need to hide it. After all, it was just an arcade substrate.

He picked up the information that Mark Seni had placed on his desk and read it. Jester had to admit that the other party was doing quite well.

But...
Chapter completed!
