Game Development Giant - Chapter 851

c845 The two games of racing and football can be combined

Jester also knew that such a matter related to the fate of life was not something that a high school graduate could decide in such a hurry.

If it is in the United States, as an adult, legally speaking, he can be fully responsible for his actions.

But in China, the same is true in terms of legal principles.

But in reality, he still needs his guardians, that is, his parents, to make the final decision for him whether to make this decision, so Jester saw Li Kewen looking hesitant and not knowing what to do. When he made any judgment, he smiled.

“There is no need to rush to a conclusion. I should stay in China for a while. I asked before that the college entrance examination scores should be available in a few days. At that time, you can make a decision. During my time in China, You can contact me at any time.” Jester smiled and said, “You can call the domestic branch of Mars Entertainment at any time to inform me of your decision.”

“I……”

Indeed, as Jester said, he cannot make such a decision alone.

Therefore, after hearing Jester’s suggestion, Li Kewen also nodded.

“Okay, let’s talk about things between our players. You can also think of this as my assessment of you. In Mars Entertainment, you will often encounter such scenes. When eating, talking to When friends are playing board games, or even playing video games in the lounge, you will often suddenly enter into a discussion environment similar to this.”

“That is, I suddenly came up with an idea, and I want to discuss with you whether this idea can be turned into a game – don’t think that this is meaningless. In fact, there are countless Mars entertainment The classic game was actually perfected in this situation. It is even possible that a painter can perfect the design of a system content, and there are ready-made examples of this.”

“You should know. During this period of time, a composite idea of ​​creating games is very popular around the world, that is to say. A game is no longer limited to just one content, and it is no longer just a shooting game. Shooting games and real-time strategy games are no longer just real-time strategy, but a combination of gameplay from different games.”

“For example, Tomb Raider—have you ever played this game?”

Jester said as he spoke. While asking Li Kewen, after all, this is not the United States. Whether it is consultation or other things, it is not as fast as in the United States. Maybe some games have been released in the United States for a year, and no domestic players have heard of it. This game.

But for people like Li Kewen who often browse posts in foreign game forums, this is certainly not a problem.

In addition, he is also an experienced gamer, and he knows and has played the game “Tomb Raider” that became a hit in the previous two years. Of course it’s not difficult.

“I have played a very surprising game…”

When talking about games, Li Kewen also had more to say, so he talked about his views on the game “Tomb Raider” and some of the things he felt were imperfect. If he were asked to do it, he would What will be done.

Jester did not interrupt him, but quietly listened as a listener, and did not comment on what he said, although for Jester. Perhaps due to differences in vision and contact, some of Li Kewen’s ideas at this time are still relatively naive or whimsical, but he does not say anything. Because he felt that these ideas of the other party could reflect something different precisely because they were simple and childish.

People who are too familiar with how a game is made often go astray when thinking about a game, and often forget what players want to play most.

“Very good. Then I will give you a question. You can think about it during this time. If you are willing, you can even write a plan to me. If what you write can impress me, I can even Allowing you to personally play this game of your own design when the time is right.”

Hearing what Jester said, Li Kewen’s excitement was even more indescribable.

Although he didn’t think he could really do it, and this was just a joke Jester made on him, but Jester could say this, it can be seen that Jester valued him.

Being able to be valued like this by one’s idol is not a big deal.

Even at this moment, Li Kewen had the idea that whether his parents agreed or not, he would follow Jester’s footsteps to the United States.

Seeing Li Kewen’s longing eyes, Jester smiled.

“My idea is this, the topic will not be simple, because anyone can think of simple things, and it is impossible to really make a game that players can really like – if you are an employee of Mars Entertainment now, we We sat together while eating in the restaurant, and then I talked to you, and I asked you, I have an idea to combine a racing game with a football game. Do you think there is any possibility of doing this? ?How would you do it?”

After finishing this question, Jester looked at Li Kewen with a smile, and the look on Li Kewen’s face, not surprisingly, became hesitant.

Obviously, he started thinking quickly in his mind.

“I don’t have any other requirements for the way the game is played. The only requirement is that the gameplay of this game must be full of fun, so that players can be full of excitement when playing this game – you have played Super Balotelli Racing?”

As Jester spoke, he asked another question, and Li Kewen nodded.

A classic game like “Super Balotelli Racing” is certainly not something that a hardcore player like Li Kewen has never played before, and his level is even very high.

So, he nodded.

Then Jester smiled: “Since you have played this game, you should know what it feels like to play this game with friends at a party. I hope you can do this Of course, this is just a suggestion I give you. As long as it is fun, you can design it however you want, because nothing in the game is important. Only the factor of fun can never be forgotten. .”

“This is also the biggest piece of advice I can give to my students.”

Although Li Kewen was still a little hard to understand at this time, he still nodded with some vague understanding.

“Fun.”

At the same time, I still recited something silently in my heart.

After Li Kewen left. Jester stayed alone in the coffee shop for a while.

In fact, he just suddenly remembered a very interesting game that would be a big success in the future. It was unknown on the day it came out. No one could have predicted that this little game would explode into a big hit. So much potential. Cultivated by so many gamers – even after its success, some wondered why the game was successful.

Because in the eyes of many people, how can football and racing be combined – what’s the point of combining such a genre?

In fact, Jester had the same idea as these people at the beginning. He may be a bit more stubborn, a bit more conservative, and his thinking is relatively rigid. Therefore, he also believes that such a combination of game modes is destined to be useless. mean.

What really changed his mind was. This is a free game for PSN members.

Then, in line with the principle of killing the wrong one without mercy, he downloaded the game. Anyway, it was given for free. If you don’t download it, you will get nothing. Moreover, Jester didn’t have much money at the time, so he didn’t buy any big games. , and I just had time, I took out this game and gave it a try – the result was out of control. This game is really fun to play.

Even a single player is full of fun.

Even when playing this game, the shadow of a game that Jester thought of was “Super Mario Kart”!

This game was simply made for parties, so Jester couldn’t wait to start the online battle. But it was quite sad at first, because no matter how he connected to the online battle, he couldn’t connect. After going to several forums where he often went and looking at the posts, he found out that the server used by this game was provided by Google. Domestically, this is due to Google’s withdrawal from the domestic market. Therefore, IPs are prohibited for Google servers…

SO…

At that time, Jester was devastated deep in his heart, because it was rare to encounter a game that he could really like and get the purest pleasure from, especially since such a game was not made by Nintendo. !

This is incredible.

Therefore, Jester purchased a VPN specifically for this game.

Then one night I got out of hand and became completely addicted.

This game is called “Rocket League”, a perfect party game that combines racing and football!

Of course, party games are a term from the previous era. After the arrival of the Internet era, party games can be started anytime and anywhere.

“Rocket League” can be said to be the biggest winner of the year. Although they were not the game of the year, they still won important awards in TGA and even ranked second in GS’s annual selection, second only to the highly anticipated “Rocket League” “The Witcher 3” is one place higher than Kojima’s farewell work “MGS5”.

You know, this is just a small game, a game that not many people paid attention to before it was released.

However, by the end of 15 years, this game had more than 9 million players!

This was achieved in less than a year. To be more specific, this was achieved in just over half a year. In December, they even increased by more than one million in one month!

This is not a free game.

Although he was exempted from PSN.

This is a game with distinct characteristics. First of all, its rhythm is very fast, so the confrontation is very fierce. Basically, there are no urine points throughout the whole process, and it is a climax throughout.

The outstanding physics engine brings an excellent feel, especially when vehicles collide, and the vibration feedback from the handle is really cool.

There are also many aerial stunts to show off.

There is also a rich DIY system. Players can DIY a car that is completely their own and completely unique to start their own competition. Moreover, the DIY system is very rich, ranging from car models to tires, spray paint, decoration, etc. There are many different choices for the color of the jet exhaust. As long as the player wants, he can create a unique car.

And this game proves that it is possible to play football with a racing car, and it can be fun. Although this game is not serious, players should not care so much. Players will like Kojima’s “MGS” which is very serious. Super masterpieces that can make people think will also like “Rocket League” which is just fun and interesting.

After all, car, gun and ball are the three favorite games among European and American players, and when the two game types are perfectly combined, unimaginable power will really explode.

Rocket League proves this.

He has been wildly loved by players in Europe and the United States. He defeated “Forza Motorsport 6” and “Driving Club” and other top racing games in TGA, and won the best racing game. It even defeated traditional sports games such as FIFA and PES to win the title of the best sports competition game!

How incredible is this?

The most important thing is that this game is just a small game. It is not difficult to make it now. Moreover, the current network environment in Europe and America does not have any difficulty in releasing such a game.

Therefore, Jester does have the idea of ​​​​making this game. Of course, he will not do it himself, and such a small production is not suitable for him. Moreover, the importance of such a game lies in its creativity, which is very It is a work suitable for a newcomer to become famous, so during this period, Jester is also looking for someone to give this opportunity to.

Although he asked Li Kewen this question this time.

If Li Kewen’s answer could not satisfy him, he would not give him this opportunity to become famous in the entire gaming industry.

After all, success must come to those who are prepared.

If Li Kewen could satisfy him, he wouldn’t mind being a booster on the other person’s road to fame.

Of course, these all need to be fought for by the other party. (~^~)
