Nearly half a year has passed since Nintendo officially withdrawn, and Masayuki Uemura chose to join Sony Computer Entertainment a month ago. He rejected Sega and Mars Entertainment's invitation, including some hardware development companies that have nothing to do with game consoles.

The dates of the e3 exhibition, Tokyo Game Show and GDC Game Developer Conference were also decided by Mars Entertainment, Sega, and Sony Computer Entertainment, and the 25 permanent game companies. However, the e3 exhibition and Tokyo Game Show will be officially held only next year, one is scheduled for spring and the other is scheduled for autumn.

However, the first gdc game developer conference was decided to be held in December this year, in order to summarize and review the game history of the year and select several game awards.

The game awards are set according to the movie awards. Because it was the first session, it was not too complicated. It was just a preliminary formulation of three normal awards and one special award. The three normal awards are the Best Game of the Year, the Best Game Company of the Year, and the Most Popular Game Platform of the Year.

The special prize is the GDC Lifetime Achievement Award set in accordance with the Oscar's Lifetime Achievement Award.

Only those who have made indelible contributions to the entire electronic game industry can receive this honor. Of course, Jester has a high voice, but Jester himself knows that this award will definitely not be won by himself, a young man.

In order to catch up with the second Mars Entertainment Carnival held in early November, both Jester's development teams were very fast. Whether it was "Fantasy Simulation War" with a large text volume or the first time it was a game of real-time strategy, "Age of Empires", which has a very high challenge for developers, they also completed the development of the alpha version in early October.

If it is used for sale, it will definitely not work. In fact, the release time that Jester sets for these two games is Christmas this year, and in terms of time, it is still very abundant.

The current version is just a version with a framework that has been completed and can be used for trial play.

"May I ask. Are you really bearded and have you officially launched the trial of your two games on Mars Carnival?" Jester has received more interviews recently. Every once in a while, he will accept media interviews and release some development news.

This time is no exception.

In fact, the questions were discussed before. There will be no leaks to some content, and it will also allow players to continue to pay attention and interest.

"Yes, our current trial version has been developed and is being tested internally." Jester fluently told the interviewer that he had prepared in advance. This answer was also answered truthfully, and in fact it is true. These two games have indeed caused a certain sensation in the trial play of Mars Entertainment.

Especially "Age of Empires", it insists on becoming a reserved project that more than 90% of people who are resting inside Mars Entertainment will choose.

"Are you satisfied with these two games?"

The reporter continued to ask questions, but it was actually nonsense. The answers to these questions were very free. The answerers could choose a very patterned answer. They could also choose to leak a little bit of small materials to make the answer more eye-catching.

"Well……"

Jester hesitated for a while, seemed to think for a while, and then said: "To be honest, I am not very satisfied with the game "Fantasy Simulation War", because I did not make any breakthroughs in srpg this game. It is just a pretty good thing. To be honest, this is just a game that is very close to the first game of "Flame Emblem", but I personally have tried my best."

Although Jester spoke a little sadly, the interviewer's tone was not the case at all.

There was even a hint of unspeakable excitement in his tone.

"It is very rare to be able to reach the level of "Flame Emblem". Mr. Li, I think you may not know that your "Flame Emblem" has been made a textbook for this type of game by players. You have completed almost everything you can think of in the RPG game. It is too difficult to complete the breakthrough. Being able to achieve infinite close is already a very brilliant victory!"

After hearing what the interviewer said, Jester's interest became a little higher, and the smile on his face became a little brighter.

"Then thank you for your Jiyan, but I don't think that almost all the rpg games you said can be made by "Flame Emblem". In fact, there are countless new ideas in my mind now, about what rpgs should be like, but due to technical limitations, these things can only exist in my mind for the time being. However, I believe that in the near future, players who like rpg games will definitely see such games."

"So from your near future sentence, it is impossible to speculate that you Mars Entertainment has started the development of the next generation of 3D hosts?"

After hearing Jester say this, the reporter who interviewed seemed to have heard something from this passage, so he tentatively asked a question that was not discussed before. According to the previous agreement, the interviewer can ask several questions asked independently based on the interview process. However, because these questions were not agreed in advance, the interviewee has the right to refuse to answer.

But Jester never refuses to answer, and the same is true for this question.

However, you cannot nod or shake your head directly in this way.

Any company's new product development issues are top-notch confidential. For example, it is the development of dreambox3. Even in Mars Entertainment, only the senior management knows the exact information about this matter. Only a few people know the specific information of the dreambox3 development team.

"This question is quite difficult to answer, because I think it doesn't seem useful whether I say it starts or not, because as long as you report this matter, it will definitely make them imagine when you see it."

Jester smiled and said: "I can only say that we are just studying what kind of host the next generation of hosts should be. If this problem is uncertain, then there is no way to carry out the development work."

The interviewer was definitely dissatisfied with Jester's answer, but he also knew the ethics of the interviewer's questions. He could not pursue such self-service questions, because if he pursued them, he would be considered by the interviewer that you were not here to interview, but to kick the club.

As the saying goes, friends come, there are good wines and jackals come, and there are hunting rifles.

If a game media is considered a jackal by Mars Entertainment and has to make a living in North America, it basically means that this game media has done its best.

So, although the interviewer wanted to continue asking questions, he still restrained his deep thoughts and asked according to the question draft that had been written in advance: "So, you have mentioned the acronym of rts before, and the deadline you stipulated before October has passed, so can you announce the answer now? Also, the second Mars Carnival is about to open. Has anyone guessed the correct answer?"

"Haha... let's talk about the second question first."

After hearing this question, Jester laughed a few times, then stopped laughing and said a few words: "It is true that someone guessed the correct answer. Although the letters have not been read all, from the results I learned, it is not worth a player guessing the correct answer. There is even an old player who not only guessed the meaning of RTS, but also wrote us his suggestions and opinions on this type of game. To be honest, the writing is very good. Finally, let me say one thing, we have sent our letters to the players we guessed, and we also had our carnival invitation letters."

"Then the specific meaning of rts..."

The interviewer took the initiative to remind him that in the previous long passage, Jester did not say what rts meant.

"Oh...yes, I almost forgot if you didn't say it."

Jester patted his forehead, deliberately showing a look of apology, and then nodded and continued: "Actually, this time it is easier to guess. After all, players have known that the team that developed this RTS game with me this time was Sid Mel's team that developed "Civilization". From the analysis of the game type of "Civilization", a lot of information can be obtained."

"The so-called rts is actually real-time-strategy, real-time strategy, and what is real-time strategy? From the terms real-time, real-time corresponds to the turn. I think players are very familiar with turn-based systems, so what about real-time systems? Actually..."

Speaking of this, Jester stopped talking and showed a strange smile on his face: "As for what real-time strategy is, when the carnival opens and players have played our Age of Empires, they will naturally know what real-time strategy is."

“Age of Empires?!”

In just a moment, the interviewer caught the most critical noun in Jester's words.
Chapter completed!
