Chapter five hundred and eighty nine new battle net
At this time, Richard Garrett regretted his short-sighted vision at the time.
After all, if my new game loses to Jester's "Exotic Soul-Super Song" in the annual game or the annual RPG game selection, then I really have to kiss the donkey's butt in public?
When Richard Garrett thought of this, he felt a little chilled.
Moreover, there is another question in Richard Garrett's heart, that is, what kind of game is "Exotic Soul-Supering Song"? Why does this game actually get so many people, so many media, and even the intersections of his friends who never praise the game?
This idea was like a reptile, constantly growing teeth and claws in Richard Garrett's heart.
Influenced by many such messy ideas, Richard Garrett finally made a decision that he would never have made before, that is, to go to the carnival scene of Mars Entertainment and experience the game.
However, Richard Garrett didn't want to hide it.
He is not such a person.
He wants to go openly.
After lunch, Jester left the Anaheim Convention Center. He was busy and could not spend the whole day at the Carnival venue.
There is indeed an important thing at the Mars Entertainment Headquarters that needs him to deal with.
Previously, during last year's carnival, Jester wanted to start building his battle network.
However, he thought about this matter too simply at that time. The current harshness of network conditions cannot be solved by network technology at all. If players want to connect to the Internet in various parts of the United States to engage in "Age of Empire" online battles, now it is not a problem that can be solved completely.
However, after Jester and his subordinates understood this truth.
They have wasted almost four months.
Of course, it cannot be said to be a waste. At least one of the prototypes of the Battle Network has been built, but if the final plan of the Battle Network is not successful, then the prototypes of the framework are of no use.
Those who were originally involved in this project thought that this plan was going to have a miscarriage.
To be fair, Jester's Battle Network plan is indeed a creative idea in their minds, but it was too early to come up with this idea. After all, the network construction in the United States is still in progress. It may be very feasible to carry out this plan in three years, but now, I can only sigh.
However, soon Jester gave his rectification plan.
The Battle.net plan is still going on, but this time it is not about supporting big data exchange games like the Age of Empires, but instead of supporting chess and card games.
In fact, after Jester learned that he wanted to create an RTS game that could support "Age of Empires" now, and even tried to support online FPS battles like "Thor's Hammer", he thought about the rectification plan in his memory. In the end, he really found an example that can be referenced in his memory.
Many people may remember that when the Internet in China was just beginning, there was a world of alliances.
In Lianzhong World, the biggest source of users is to play chess and card games. Of course, this is not the successful application of the new thing that the people in Lianzhong World first created, and it is also the successful experience that the copycat has had.
In Jester's memory.
In the 1991st year, Sierra established the world's first service platform dedicated to online games - the-sierra-agination-work. In 1996, AOL was acquired at a high price. At that time, for the sake of convenience, this the-sierra-work platform was temporarily called the United States Lianzhong, which provides a function of online battles that can perform Shell, Chess, or other chess online.
And it was a great success.
Bill Gates admitted that he was a loyal user of United States United at that time. He liked to play bridge battles on this United States United game platform when he was free.
When Jester talked to his Mars War Network development team about letting them transform in this regard, these people were also extremely excited because their technology evaluated Jester's proposal, and unlike Jester's previous plan, they were completely fantastic.
So, a battle network platform that only supports bridge, Texas Hold'em and chess at the beginning was built earlier this year.
After that, there is a long internal test.
The personnel tested were all die-hard fans of Mars Entertainment, as well as some special invited by Jester.
For example, Bill Gates was invited by Jester to participate in this test. According to internal statistics from Mars Entertainment, since Bill Gates participated in this invitation, he has logged on to Mars War Network almost every day and played several games. Bill Gates’ favorite game is Bridge.
Of course, all those involved in this test signed a very strict confidentiality clause, which they are prohibited from revealing to the outside world, in case of any situation regarding Mars War Network.
Until the opening of the carnival.
The Mars War Network has been in operation for almost half a year, and there have been several minor accidents in the middle, but they are not big and have been successfully resolved.
Originally, at the internal meeting, I did want to publish the information of this battle network during the carnival and conduct public testing of the battle network. However, after repeated consideration, Jester still denied the proposal.
Because Jester knew that if they wanted to provide such an Internet support service covering the entire United States, they might be the first ones, and no one knew the problems there. If they did not test them as completely as possible before, it would be very likely that they would bring players a very poor testing experience.
Therefore, Jester still asked the Zhanwang support team to conduct another stress test on the Zhanwang system.
Moreover, this stress test is much more severe than the previous few times, and all the situations you can encounter should be fully considered.
Sure enough, just now, the Battlenet system, which was undergoing stress testing, collapsed.
So, Jester had to rush back to the company headquarters to deal with this matter.
After arriving at the company, Jester realized that the situation encountered this time was not just a simple matter of crashing the Battle Network system caused by stress tests. The crash of the Battle Network system caused another very serious matter, that is, the Battle Network database also collapsed.
After knowing the seriousness of this incident, Jester also contacted Oracle and HP's technical teams as soon as possible.
Because Jester had reached an agreement with Ellison before, Jester was already one of the major shareholders of Oracle. So after receiving Jester's call, Ellison immediately sent Oracle's technical team to the headquarters of Mars Entertainment to help them deal with this matter, but HP's efficiency was not so high.
The reply that Jester received was that their server technical team would not arrive tomorrow at the earliest.
This made Jester only anxious at the headquarters.
Fortunately, the current Battle Network system is just an internal test, and it is not a big deal if something happens. If it is really opened to the public and encounters such a thing, it will be difficult to deal with.
Just as Jester was upset about this, one of his assistants reported to him something very different, to be precise, a very unexpected call.
The person who called was Richard Garrett.
Although when he heard his assistant saying Richard Garrett's name, Jester was stunned at first, and then he quickly figured out the purpose of the other party's call. There was no doubt that at this time, the other party called him to give in to him. It is very likely that he had already tried his own game himself.
In fact, what Jester said at that time was also a bit of annoying.
He is not a child. He can remember his life for a trivial matter. In fact, if he had to kiss the donkey's butt if he lost, he had long forgotten.
After asking his assistant to transfer Richard Garrett's phone to his office.
After answering the phone and greeted Richard Garrett in a very gentle tone, Richard Garrett also apologized for the unreasonable words he said before. Of course, Jester also accepted it generously.
In fact, even in the selection of GDC's best games, my game really beats Richard Garrett's games, so what?
I really want to lead a donkey to the scene and let Richard Garrett kiss the donkey's butt in front of everyone?
What a joke.
That way, although Richard Garrett lost all his face and was shameless, what kind of image should he have? A narrow-minded, sinister and cruel, without pride, and other evaluation words will be added to him. How can such a person lead the entire electronic game industry in the future?
