Chapter 34 Tailor-made
Before the call, Takahashi dialed the number, and after a tedious call, he finally connected to Sapporo's phone.
"Hello, I'm Takahashi in Akihabara, looking for Shin'ichi Nakamoto. Takahashi said.
There was a short wait on the other side of the phone, followed by the sound of the phone being dropped, and after about a minute or two, the phone was picked up again.
"I'm Shin'ichi Nakamoto," Shin'ichi Nakamoto first emphasized who he was, and then asked, "Are you okay over there for the past two days?"
"It's okay, it's just a little tired. Takahashi replied first, then rhetorically, "What's the matter with me?"
Shin'ichi Nakamoto cleared his throat and said, "That's right, the production of "Super Interstellar Force" here has been completed for the most part. Like Interstellar Force, this game has hidden elements similar to Cleopatra's head.
I asked the hardware engineer here to design a gadget to test hand speed, and I guess I will wait for you in two days, and then you will test how many times you can press per second. The design parameters of the hidden element, I want to calculate according to your hand speed.
President Kudo's side isn't planning to hold the "Super Interstellar Force" Tokyo League, I think you might be better off winning the championship this way. ”
Is this the official back door?
It's the first time Takahashi has heard of it, and it turns out that there is such a thing as tailor-made games. There is no reason to refuse what is beneficial to himself, he said, "It's really bothering you." ”
Shin'ichi Nakamoto's laughter was a little weird in the current murmur, and he laughed twice and said, "If you hadn't helped me solve the problem of "Gold Diger", I guess I would have been guilty of it now." If I hadn't insisted on changing Gold Digger, the final version wouldn't have been like that. This time, even if I reciprocate. ”
Takahashi didn't wonder why Shin'ichi Nakamoto spoke Chinese idioms. In this era, Chinese language education is still an important part of national education.
Often, the more educated people are, the more Chinese characters are written in the articles. Although the pronunciation may be different, it is relatively easy for a literate Chinese to understand an article full of Chinese characters that gives ordinary people a headache.
Of course, as the younger generation grows up. The Chinese characters in the Japanese language are gradually decreasing, after all, learning kanji is too complicated and difficult for me to promote in basic education.
Coincidentally, South Korea and North Korea in this era are also committed to de-Chinese characters. They converted all the Chinese characters in the textbook into square-style pinyin characters.
Although this satisfies the need for national cultural independence, it also produces a lot of embarrassing problems, and there is no way to distinguish homophones when using pinyin characters.
Takahashi and Shin'ichi Nakamoto exchanged a few more pleasantries.
Shin'ichi Nakamoto said that he would be able to return to Tokyo in half a month. However, there may be a trip to Kyoto before returning to Tokyo, and it seems that the president has arranged an exchange event with Nintendo.
Shin'ichi Nakamoto is a little uncertain now, because this is still gossip, and there is no official document to let him go to Nintendo to study.
Takahashi hung up the phone, and he was still in a pretty good mood.
This is also the first friend he has in Yueben.
Shin'ichi Nakamoto may be suitable for the program to contact more, and he is also straightforward in his life. Actually opened the back door for himself directly in the game, Takahashi couldn't help but shake his head and laugh as he thought about it.
Officially off work, Takahashi walked back.
More than forty minutes away, it may not be much in the future. But for him who is tired now, it is more like an ordeal.
When he got home and finished the meal left by his uncle, he lay down and looked at the ceiling, rubbing his right thumb to relieve the soreness while planning his future path.
The meaning of Hiroshi Kudo's establishment of the Propaganda Department, Takahashi understands.
From the establishment of the Propaganda Department tomorrow, he will no longer be an irreplaceable existence of Hudson.
Fortunately, he didn't have the luxury of living a lifetime by playing games, no matter how good the game is, he is still just a gamer. He wondered if he would not hide anything from those newcomers tomorrow and teach them all the skills he knew.
Although this is the behavior of the disciples of the church starving to death of the master and seeking their own death in a short period of time.
But in the long run, I don't plan to rely on games to eat, so I might as well hand over my skills that may soon become obsolete to them.
The video game industry is still a new industry, and no one knows what kind of achievements any one in the industry will achieve in the future.
The advantage of entering the industry early is that you can seek a higher position when the industry is developing rapidly.
If you put it in 30 years, it will be said that the video game industry will start at sunset. When a game planner is still a game planner after ten years, an architecture engineer will always be an architecture engineer.
Because the whole industry is saturated, there is no place to rise. There are so many games on the market every year. The game that the old man carried, even if he didn't make a lot of money, couldn't lose much.
A screw at the bottom, it is difficult to have a chance of promotion in this situation. Unless there is someone above, or so good that you can still see it if you pretend to ignore it, otherwise, you will only face endless overtime, plus hair loss, plus overwork to death from overwork.
Making video games is always about keeping up with the schedule. Eighty-hundred-hour work week is normal.
Working long hours does not mean that you earn more and owe more, except for the classic series. Otherwise, no one knows if a game will make a big profit or die a big blow until it is released. In order to control the risk, the remuneration of staff members cannot be too high.
Even if the game becomes popular after it is released, there will be a lot of bonuses. Truth be told, that's not money at all compared to the number of games sold.
Some people will say, since this industry is so difficult to mix, why not change jobs and work in a new industry?
The answer is that you can't get a good job, like easy and profitable, sorry it's impossible. Thirty years later, it is not too much to say that it is a backwater.
It's not easy in any industry, and people from ordinary backgrounds, even if they change to more industries, they can only be at the bottom.
The reality is brutal and painful.
As a result, many people chose to escape from reality and stay at home, and the otaku clan was born.
In contrast, Takahashi's current time was the most golden age of the book. There is no need to be short-sighted and play a game for a lifetime.
All roads lead to Rome, even if there is no desired achievement in the book. You can also return to China for development, and now the country is dancing wildly, and it is not a vast world to make great achievements.
Don't worry, don't be afraid, go ahead, it's a big deal to shift the strategy, what's there.
Takahashi looked at the light of the light bulb on the ceiling and squinted, his eyes showing war.
