Sam House and Dan House are not only game developers, but in fact, they are also very enthusiastic music enthusiasts.

Especially for rock music, they are very obsessed with it.

When Jester chatted with them with Queens as the opening show, their emotions were instantly mobilized. When Jester said that his favorite Queens song was Bohemian Rhapsody, the two brothers were as happy as if they had found their soulmates, and immediately talked to Jester about their past with Queens.

When it comes to the news that Uncle Bearded Freddy McCree, the greatest home court in Queens' history, died a few years ago, they were also very sad.

Gradually from rock and roll, the three of them gradually talked about the game.

Of course, when it comes to the game, there are more things that the three can talk about. Jester is a little older, but it is not much older than the House brothers. Rock lovers will definitely be deviant in their thinking, and this idea will also extend to their games. This is actually the difference between games and ordinary products.

Games are works, and they are filled with the designer's ideas, connotations, and everything they want to express.

However, to Jester's surprise, the two House brothers who make a living by making gangster-themed games are very ordinary in terms of game hobbies and choices.

It's no different from other gamers.

Not even like many designers under his command whom Jester knew. They like a lot of very niche games, and the games they like are very popular. They like Jester's games, Hideo Kojima's games, and Miyamoto's games. Of course, their favorite is Sid Meyer's games.

After hearing that their favorite game was "Civilization", Jester was a little surprised.

"If we join Mars Entertainment, can we work with Mr. Sid Meyer? That's our idol!"

Jester could hear the excitement of the House brothers' tone of them saying this. It is not difficult for Mars Entertainment to acquire DMA, and BMG will not stop it, and the price will not be high.

However, it doesn't matter to acquire the company.

What’s important is the geniuses in this company who are full of dreams, passion, and all the beautiful dreams of games.

"Donovan couldn't come today because something happened at home, and he was very sorry for him. He always regarded Carmak as his idol. He was very sad when he heard Carmak left Mars Entertainment, because he said that he would go back to Mars Entertainment in the future. He hoped to work with Carmak..."

Jester smiled when he heard this.

"In fact, John is developing a very secret project with me. This is not a secret. John feels that developing games and developing 3D engines cannot bring him long-term passion, so he wants to do something that can bring him enough passion. If Mr. Donovan is interested, I can arrange for him to meet and talk to John."

"Of course. I want to make a statement that Carmack doesn't play games now."

The House brothers were also very happy to hear Jester's answer.

They have a good relationship with Donovan. They have known each other since they were in St. Paul's Middle School. The three of them have created the situation of DMA today.

Although they are going to be sold by their parent company, this is not a sale. You should know that those who want to buy them are Mars Entertainment. Now the overlords of the entire gaming industry, they have the best games, the best developers, and the best bosses.

"Actually, I know what you are worried about. Although I have said to every game company we are going to acquire, I still have to repeat it now. We are a company that respects the talents of game designers very much. One thing we firmly believe is that the reason why a game company can stand out in such a fierce competition is that it must be unique."

"What we have to do is to make this uniqueness more and more luminous, instead of extinguishing it and replacing it with a light that looks brighter than before, but in fact, it is indeed squeezing the original potential. We will never do this kind of thing to kill chickens and retrieve eggs. This is the biggest difference between us and some other big game companies."

"We are not buying it for money, but you guys."

Jester's words touched the House brothers very much. As a game developer, what they really want most is that their works are recognized by others, whether they are players or peers.

It is also an incomparable honor for them to be recognized by the most outstanding game designers in the gaming industry.

“That means…”

Suddenly, after hearing Jester's words, the House brothers immediately showed a look of surprise on their faces.

Before they could finish speaking, Jester nodded.

"We respect the idea of ​​all the producers of their studios about what kind of games they think they should make, but our studios need to be at their own risk. That is to say, if your games cannot make money, your studio will be closed, and you must understand this, but what you want to do is your own business."

"What if the style is different from the style of your games before? You know, we like to make games like those that are very violent..."

The House brothers were still a little ambiguous when they said it.

Obviously, they are extremely eager to join Mars Entertainment, but they are even more eager to make the game he really wants to make.

That's how game designers are.

They are the creators.

They have their own thoughts and they don't want to be bound. They only do what they should do.

Only in this case can great games be made.

"Your styles before. For example, your gta, this is absolutely fine. You must know that you have also played Itagaki Baonshi's game. You should know that his game is not something that good kids can play. What else do you have to worry about?"

Jester first explained, then asked back.

This left the House Brothers Game speechless.

"We are actually worried that it will bring some criticism to the company. The games we make in Scotland are not very famous, so many people say that our games have taught many people, but this is not what we think. We just want to convey our rock spirit through games..."

The House brothers hesitated for a moment and explained in detail.

Unexpectedly, Jester waved directly.

"I will help you with these things. What you need to do is to make a game worthy of my blame. Of course, when you make it, you also need to make a scale. Of course, this does not affect your foundation for how the game should be designed. I have said before that we will never interfere with the idea of ​​game development in our studios. Just give suggestions."

Jester said it was very certain.

These words also touched the House brothers very much.

They looked at each other and nodded. Although they did not explain it on the spot, Jester still understood through their eyes that they had made the decision.

"What do you think? Do you want to join us?"

However, Jester obviously wanted to break the casserole directly, so he asked this question directly.

"Of course, if you don't need Los Angeles, you can choose other places, Chicago, Miami or New York, there is no problem with these places. In fact, our studios are all over the world." Jester continued to ask with a smile.

Hearing Jester's sincerity, the House brothers really had nothing to keep being reserved.

After looking at each other twice, they nodded directly.

“We are very eager.”

However, after a little hesitation, one of the two brothers asked Jester: "Can we really put our studio address in New York? Our favorite city is New York, Apple City..."

"certainly."

Jester nodded with certainty.

For specific contracts and other issues, after completing the acquisition, you will naturally discuss with the House brothers. The main things of this meeting have been completed, and the rest is just a casual chat. Of course, as the future boss of the two brothers, Jester can naturally ask them about some ideas about the future new game.

"Do you have any ideas about your new game? I'm talking about the game you've gone to New York."

Jester said, with a look of interest on his face.

"have."

This time the two brothers answered extremely quickly, and from his tone, they also knew that they wanted to share some of their thoughts about the new game with Jester.

"We have been thinking about new games before, but because our ideas are too huge, the parent company will not invest in us like this. In fact, we have re-examined our new works after playing your masterpiece "Haoxia". We think we can do it a little deeper."

The House brothers were extremely confident when talking about games.

They have extremely confident in their games.

"Gta's third part, although it is the third part, I would rather call it the first one, because it will be a completely different work from the previous two works, and it is the beginning of a new series. We decided to place it in New York. We want to describe a story about the black society that took place in the United States. Of course, there will inevitably be some content that is not suitable for minors to watch..."

Jester was listening quietly.

After listening, Jester just smiled and said, "In fact, I call it a sandbox game for the game you describe. Although your ideas are indeed very attractive, I really want to know that as two British people, you want to make a game of American black society. How much do you know about this society?"

"How do you guarantee that those players will have such thoughts when they play your game. This is what we want. American gangsters are like this, instead of having such thoughts. What is this? Are these American gangsters? Why are they completely different from what I saw and learned?"

Jester's question is actually very sharp.

So, after hearing his question, the House and the two brothers were indeed addicted to it. This is a question that anyone who wants to make the game great must consider.

Good games are easy to make, but best games are difficult to make, and that's it.

“What we think is not perfect enough.”

After a long period of thinking, the House brothers still did not give Jester a satisfactory answer. They could only shake their heads at Jester with some embarrassment.

"No, in fact, your ideas are already great. Sandbox gangster-themed games are a bit exciting when you think about it. However, it is not enough to have this idea. I also need you to give me more specific things. I will give you time. If you want, you can go to the United States this month, either New York or Los Angeles. I will provide you with anything you need, including expansion packs, and as long as it is something you think is useful for the game you are going to make."

"But what I want to know is, can you guarantee that you will make the game you are going to describe?"

"I mean, you really do it, as good as you describe it."

Jester asked seriously with a serious expression.

Unexpectedly, the House brothers gave Jester a reply without even thinking about it: "Actually, boss, please allow us to teach you the boss in advance. If you can provide everything we want, then we can guarantee that we can do much better than we said just now!"

"Then go and do it."

Jester's answer was also decisive.

When they left, the House brothers were a little surprised. They asked Jester in this way: "Why are you so indulging in the game studio you acquired? This is actually not the best way. Although some companies do not agree with the toughness of the small companies they acquired and violently use some IP surplus value methods, it is undeniable that this is indeed the best way to maximize the use of resources."

Jester just smiled, and after a moment of silence, he gave the answer he thought was the most appropriate. (To be continued.)
