Chapter Sixty-Six: A Young Man [Asking for Recommendation!First Update]
Takahashi shook his head, banishing the idea of making an arcade car game out of his mind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He is not the kind of protagonist who can write a book "Starting from Scratch" in a day, and he has no system in his head. You have to do everything yourself.
In the case of limited manpower and only a group of people available, do not do too much, otherwise the final work will only be a piece of garbage.
Even if it is to stuff new people into the project team to train new people, it is not as much stuff as possible. How to let newcomers learn real things without causing too much trouble is really a very high-level thing.
Nowadays, 10,000 households can be used, and the total number of people participating in the production of the game is no more than 30. Although it is now graduation season, Wanhu has not recruited the college students he wants. Whoever makes the economy too good, as long as it is not too pitted, the college students will be booked away.
Originally, Takahashi also planned to dig out all the well-known game people he remembered in his memory. It's like collecting the cards of the "little raccoon" to get them all to 10,000 households. It's just that they don't want to make games, and it's fun to just look at it.
However, Takahashi thought about it and gave up on this tempting idea. It's nice to have a bunch of uniquely limited real figures, but it's too selfish to deprive the majority of players of their happiness for the sake of their own selfish desires.
Moreover, Takahashi also figured it out. An excellent game producer is really ripe, and naturally he will come out without digging it himself.
And if you trace back from their personal timeline, you can find them who haven't made a game yet, or who are still very down. Wouldn't that be equivalent to pulling seedlings to grow, and the twisted melon is not sweet, and it would be irresponsible to find game producers who have not yet matured and let them forcibly make games.
It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, so let him go.
――――――
Autumn 1986.
Founded in 1969, Konami has become a hot video game company on the cusp of arcades and red and white machines.
Different from the latecomers of 10,000 households, Kenami, as an old-timer in the industry, has a rich talent reserve.
From artists to programmers, from game planners to marketers, there are all talents who love games and love games.
Because of the abundance of talent and abundant cash flow, Konami is very willing to expand its product line. Eggs are never put in one basket, never hung from a tree. Therefore, whether it is the arcade market, or the red and white machine market, or MSX, or the personal computer that has just become popular, they all have their games, and they all have their presence.
This summer, a fresh graduate of the economics department of an ordinary university had no interest in economics himself. During the four years of college, he rarely studied, long live the line, and more participated in school activities and played mahjong to kill time.
Boredom is always a source of new ways to entertain, and Tokyo is another big dye vat. He was at the forefront of the book, and as a result, he came into contact with video games.
The university is very biased, and the arcade machine is more difficult to play, but Nintendo's red and white machine can be bought.
The young man bought Nintendo's red and white consoles, and also bought many games, and his two favorite games were Nintendo's own "Super Mario Bros." and Namco's "Iron Plate Formation".
The former is familiar to everyone, and it is a platforming game. And the latter is also all the rage in Yueben. As the pinnacle of Namco's post-Bee shooter, it features a vertical scrolling design that allows more elements to appear on the screen.
It's the best work in the ancient vertical version of the design game.,It's widely popular in the arcade.,Naturally, it's also transplanted to the red and white machine to circle money.。
This young man is different from other young people, and he is not just killing time. He loves movies and has watched movies since he was a child, and he sees a possibility in video games, a possibility to realize his dream of filming.
You must know that he had only written novels before, but he felt that although he could write his feelings in this way, he could not visualize his feelings.
Therefore, after graduating from university, he chose to enter the game industry. Nintendo was too far away in Kyoto, and Namco, although based in Tokyo, rejected him. Fortunately, he was finally hired by Konami and officially entered the video game industry.
It's just that when he entered Konami, he didn't enter the red and white machine development division as he thought. The red and white machine is the leading platform of Kanami, and naturally only the best people can enter the red and white machine division to make games for the red and white machine.
Young people who are not graduates of prestigious universities and are not graduates of electronics-related majors can only be assigned to very marginal business divisions.
He was assigned to the Game Development Division of the Simplified PC MSX, where he took on the role of game planner due to the fact that he had written and published novels.
However, even so, he was seen as an outlier by his colleagues. Because, which new graduate doesn't start by serving tea and water. I was able to do game planning just after graduation, and although it was an edge game planning in the fringe department, it was also surprising.
Ordinary days can't hide his vigorous creative talent.
Every day after work, he went home to watch a movie, and gradually had an idea in his mind.
A game like the movie The Great Escape.
The protagonist is no longer a righteous hero, but a prisoner. And all this prisoner had to do was escape. Once he is caught escaping, he is taken to another nearby prison.
Depending on where it is captured, the jailbreak process is also different.
This game has no endings at all, just constant jailbreaks.
He thought the idea was cool and would be exciting to play with. There's a heart-pounding feeling like in a movie.
However, perhaps the idea was too avant-garde, and the proposal was rejected from above.
How can a game planner not be rejected as a proposal? If not, it's like a person who doesn't have to drink water to eat. He had long been accustomed to it, and put forward a new proposal.
He loves war movies and thinks of an action game with war as the background and all-round design. However, although the idea was much more reliable, it was still rejected.
The reason is simple and realistic, MSX is simply not powerful enough to support such a game. Although when it was launched, it was a platform with excellent performance. However, it doesn't have a built-in reel effect, so it's completely incapable of actually functioning and may be slightly inferior to the silky smooth reeling effect on his red and white machine.
Even the best ideas must be implemented in hardware.
At this time, the young man remembered the hide and seek when he was a child, and since he was not functional enough, he could not kill and kill head-on! Then go to the stove to avoid the enemy and save function.
A spy type game that began to take shape in his mind.
