173 Trends in the game industry

"He's a cartoonist and a game producer. His unique and excellent aesthetic literacy has endowed "Oriental Gensokyo Story" with exquisite and excellent character portraits, as well as an overall nostalgic but not rough pixel style. He created a new type of game that fused elements such as management, simulation, and role-playing! He created a utopia for modern urbanites to fully enjoy the idyllic wilderness! He set a new benchmark for independent games and achieved miraculous sales records! He is Qin Han!

Accompanied by the host's impassioned introduction, Qin Han stepped onto the podium amid applause and spotlight.

Special guest Shigeru Miyamoto came over and presented the trophy to Qin Han. The two shook hands, and Shigeru Miyamoto suddenly leaned into Qin Han's ear, lowered his voice and said, "You say, in the eyes of others, is "Mario" really suspected of sexism?"

Unexpectedly, Shigeru Miyamoto also read his article refuting Zoe Quinn.

Qin Han said a little embarrassed: "Miyamoto-san, I'm just refuting casually, don't take it seriously." Mario is a game that anyone of all ages will enjoy. ”

"Hmm......" Shigeru Miyamoto nodded, "Hearing you say that, I'm a little less worried." But it did inspire me. Maybe it's a fun idea to make a game with Princess Peach as the main character. ”

"You two, what are you talking about so happily?" The host also came over to join in the fun, pointing the microphone at Shigeru Miyamoto.

"When I was chatting with Qin Hansang, I came up with a game idea. Perhaps soon, a new spin-off of the Mario series will be born. ”

"Oh, that's great news, and I'm just looking forward to a great game. The host excitedly.

After this vignette, Qin Han began his acceptance speech.

"I couldn't have won the Outstanding Producer Award today because of the support of the team. Initially, when the project was established, few members of the team had experience in developing commercial games. However, thanks to their talent and hard work, they have created a miracle in the history of indie games. I think our next game will still amaze all players. ”

"Mr. Qin Han, do you have any experience in game production, can you share it with everyone here?" the host asked.

Qin Han cleared his throat and said, "Then I'll just say a few more words." In the past, due to functional limitations, the game was quite rudimentary in terms of content and expression. For example, to show the scene of a couple kissing, on the red and white machine, maybe a few color blocks are moving around. But now, whether it is a PC or a major game console, the function has improved many times. A triple-A masterpiece like Final Fantasy has amazing graphics, and the skin texture and hair effects are already close to reality. With the improvement of the game screen, the old era of players looking at simple pixel maps and making up the plot by themselves is gone. Making games cinematic is the big trend of the future. Game producers may also need to have the skills of film supervisors. ”

"In addition, thanks to the improvement of hardware storage and computing power, makers can now integrate a variety of gameplay into a single game, rather than being confined to specific genres such as strategy, role-playing, action, shooting, simulation, etc. "Oriental Gensokyo Story" is such a game. I think that the compounding of genres is a major trend in games in the future. I'm done, thank you. ”

Qin Han's speech triggered waves of applause. Even Shigeru Miyamoto stood behind and applauded constantly.

Some reporters from the game media, their eyes lit up, and they buried themselves in writing hard, wanting to write down the content of Qin Han's speech in as much detail as possible.

In this parallel world, the development of game hardware functions is still very good. However, in terms of the diversity of game software, it is a little behind, and although some games have the same name, the content is quite different.

For example, "Final Fantasy 13", which won the Best Game Award today, does not have characters such as Sister Titting, who was familiar to Qin Han in his previous life, in the game.

The content of Qin Han's speech is just the inevitable development trend of video games in the previous life, but in the eyes of game practitioners in this world, it is a point of view that has considerable value, and can even be said to be like a guiding light.

"Very good presentation. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the winner of this year's Outstanding Producer Award, Qin Han!" the host said excitedly.

Qin Han waved his hand to the audience and calmly walked off the podium.

"President, you're amazing. If I were on stage, I would probably not be able to say a word in front of so many pairs of eyes. Tanaka Fat said enviously.

"Then you can practice a little more, and maybe you will have a chance to win a prize in the future. Qin Han said with a smile.

"Really?" said Tanaka's fat man's eyes, flashing with expectation.

…………

After the Media Art Festival of the Agency for Cultural Affairs, Qin Han led a group of employees to a high-end sushi restaurant in Ginza to celebrate.

He was a little drunk, and after asking a substitute driver to help him drive home, he took out his mobile phone and found that there were four missed calls.

The communicator is "Mom".

It's a bit embarrassing.

Although he is accustomed to life in this world, he still feels a little uncomfortable with the parents left by the previous owner of the body. Therefore, I have not actively tried to contact my family members who are far away in Okinawa.

But now, there's no way to ignore it.

As a social being, since he inherited this body, it is only natural that he must inherit its additional interpersonal relationships.

"Well, see what my 'mother' will say. ”

Qin Han washed his face with cold water and sobered himself up a little, then picked up his mobile phone and called back his mother's number.

"Hey ......"

"Is it Qin Han? Why did you call back so late?" On the other end of the phone, a somewhat stern voice came.

"I went to dinner with my friends tonight, I drank too much, and I didn't hear my phone ring. ”

"I thought I was very busy as a cartoonist, but I didn't expect you to have time to spend all day drinking! Then why don't you come back during the Spring Festival and Qingming Festival? Why don't you even make a phone call?"

"Uh......" Qin Han choked.

"Yui's mother is sick and she's coming back to visit. You happened to come back with her, got it?" Qin Han's mother said, "Don't make excuses, cartoonists don't have working days, so you can definitely leave if you want to." ”

"Okay. Qin Han hurriedly agreed.

Hanging up, he breathed a sigh of relief. This mother is as strong as she remembers. It's no wonder that the previous Qin Han had a rebellious mentality and developed an awkward temper.

However, since the other party took the initiative to call him back, although the tone was a little unkind, it still showed that the cold war between him and his family was officially over.

"Okinawa...... The sun, the beach, the food, and the company of cute girls, the perfect journey!" Qin Han couldn't help but look forward to it.
