Even if you can learn from the experience of others, there are some things that are completely useless if you don't experience them yourself.
Because, if you haven't experienced it yourself, you will always feel that those things that you haven't experienced yourself can be right. This is because, having experienced something, you know where there is something wrong and where it is bad. And what you haven't experienced, you can only see the good.
People like Xu Jiang are definitely not the only ones, in fact, there are many Xu Jiang in this world. Their fate was decided long ago rather than by their own struggle.
Because, many people are actually pigs on the tuyere, and only when the storm blows violently can they go to heaven. Otherwise, they're just a small person.
These people rarely reflect on themselves and examine whether what they are doing is right or not. They are short-sighted, and they don't even know how to give others room to live, that is, to be kind to themselves.
Therefore, after they have experienced the peak, it will not be long before they will die at the peak. This is the fate they will have to experience.
In comparison, although Lin Yan is a very ordinary person, he can keep his desires, so as to keep his heart.
Lin Yan likes to play games, so he likes to play games. Just play the game all the time. As for other things, he didn't really care.
That kind of luxurious life enjoyment, he also felt that it was not suitable for him. After all, there is such a thing as good food and drink. And there is nothing too enviable.
Lin Yan may have higher needs, not so much about material enjoyment, but more about spiritual enjoyment. Of course, in this world, there are not too many people who can satisfy Lin Yan's spiritual enjoyment. Therefore, Lin Yan prefers to go shirtless and engage in some spiritual entertainment products.
As a result, Hayashi made video games one after another. Actually, because Lin Yan's game style is changeable. There aren't many players who really like all the games he makes.
For most players, they are more inclined to play a more monolithic type of game.
However, a relatively single game genre, in fact, at some point, is not enough to satisfy them. Because, for them, when they are tired of playing the game, they need to pursue something new. If, there is nothing new, they will find it boring.
Therefore, most of the time, game producers can't listen too much to players' opinions. What a player says is not necessarily what he really agrees with.
Sometimes, people's real needs are actually hidden behind their actions, and they can't be expected to say these things, there is no problem at all, how these things are.
If they can really explain it, they will start making their own games.
There are also quite a few players who have done so and turned to become indie game producers.
However, even if they are popular, they can basically only be popular with one or two games.
Because, they are not trained in the classroom, and it is difficult for them to have a stable output. The one or two of their most popular works are likely to have been precipitated for many years in their game career.
Although it seems that they succeed very quickly, for them, they are just pouring out what they have been accumulating in their hearts in a game way.
It is not very scientific to use up all the essence in one conversation, and expect them to make any fun games.
In fact, sometimes people say that artistic creation needs inspiration. However, Lin Yan thinks more that it requires skills.
Inspiration alone does not understand skills, and what is made is worthless. Because, people don't know what you're trying to say.
No matter how good you think this work is, in fact, it only touches yourself.
And with the skill, even if there is no "soul", the problem is not particularly big. Because there is such a thing as skill, it can actually cover up a lot of flaws.
Just like many people who write things, they may not have a particularly big feeling about something, but the articles he writes can move many people.
Although, in the eyes of real experts, his articles are very frivolous and exaggerated, but how can there be so many experts, most of them are ordinary people, and it is enough for different people to think that they are very powerful.
As a result, there are a lot of passable but not the most enjoyable games in the world. The existence of these games, from a certain point of view, confirms Lin Yan's theory.
I can't say that there are no people who love games, but most of them are veterans who are familiar with various techniques.
Even if they don't integrate into their feelings, the games made by the assembly line are much more fun than the games made by many players, laymen.
Because, there is a certain law to everything. They grasp part of the pattern, and part of making the game conforms to that pattern.
In fact, there are many people who work in game companies who don't really like to make video games. This industry, for them, is just a bite to eat.
In fact, there are such people in every industry, and there are not a few.
It's not that these people really have an industry they like. In fact, some people don't know what they like all their lives.
They may say they like this today and that tomorrow. But do they really like it, they don't like it.
They like it because everyone else likes it. Since everyone else likes it, I like it too.
Once, someone else's interest shifts, they follow suit.
It can't be said that these people are pathetic, but it is actually more difficult for these people to live a good life.
However, it definitely does not mean that such a person will not be able to live a good life in his life.
In fact, in the period of economic upswing, outsiders cannot see why many people are rich and why. Even if they are betting big and small every time, as long as he is brave and succeeds every time, they are the kind of people who stand at the top of the biological chain.
Only when the economy begins to decline, and they don't have that kind of wanton soil, do they know who is really capable and who doesn't have much ability.
Lin Yan hasn't made any big games recently, and in fact, the current big games have fallen into a dead loop.
No one would dare to make a game full of ideas, even if they already had a mature solution.
Because, when they make video games, they can't make what they want to make. There is always a rope called economy that holds them.
It's okay to make some small games, and it doesn't matter if you lose money, but if you lose money on a big game, the whole company may go out of business.
Like animation companies in the same situation, some animation companies use the money from the production of commercial animation to satisfy their own creative desires and produce some animations that are more artistic and have their own pursuits.
In the field of games, there are also such companies, using the money earned from this commercial game to subsidize the next art to the game, these art to the game, what the sales are like, whether too many people like it, they don't care, because, as long as they like it.
Because, Chiba Games has a platform to express their opinions. As a result, many of the time, you can see many people expressing their love for what they create.
For example, if one picture is good-looking and the other picture is very showy, they will say that they admire it and like it very much.
In fact, sometimes if you pay attention to these people, you will find that they are real people, and they make video games, make animations, and they really like to do them.
However, the things they really like, because they don't conform to the objective laws of business, in fact, sometimes, there is not much market.
Because, animation and video games, as cheap entertainment products. At the beginning of its existence, it meant that it was meant to serve the majority of people.
And most people, most of the time, have a limited level of appreciation. Therefore, if a game is made that they can't appreciate, then this game has no great future.
As a result, some groups like certain game producers, even though they like it very much. However, the fate of the game producer may not be particularly good.
Because, those who like him are some niche players. Although their consumption level is not low anymore. However, it is not enough in the end.
As a result, many people are able to cry tears of joy over the sequel to their favorite work. Because, they understand how difficult it is for such a work to be launched continuously.
Of course, there are some individuals who target this group and get a lot of benefits.
Because, as an individual, they need less money than a game company as a whole.
The larger the company, the higher the operating costs, and if it is a small company, all employees may be engaged in specific business work.
And once there are more people, there will inevitably be people who are out of work to manage.
And the bigger the company, the more managers are needed. Because, wanting to ensure that every link is in place, it is actually not an easy thing.
For example, Chiba Games, there are more than 200 regular employees engaged in management positions. However, unlike other companies, the management staff of Chiba Games are basically transferred from the front line.
Compared to airborne managers, people who learn management professionally, although they may be lacking in management problems.
However, they have a lot of knowledge in the field of game production, these business professional issues.
I don't ask a game producer how many strokes it takes to finish the slippers on the drawing board, like some professional managers.
To ask, it is also to ask how long you want to talk, not so mentally retarded.
Therefore, the people who work in the Chiba game and the management are still relatively harmonious. You must know that the human heart is actually very difficult to grasp. There are many people who have the mentality that you don't understand anything, why do you want to tell me what to do.
As a result, many people criticize their management posts, where the layman commands the insider.
In fact, these people in the management are indeed laymen, but they are also insiders, they are laymen because they don't understand specific business, and they are insiders because they are experts in management.
Of course, insiders are also divided into real insiders and fake insiders who don't know how to pretend to understand. Many professional managers have rigidly copied some rules and regulations, which is actually the cause of some crises to a certain extent.
Of course, many people don't say that they caused the problem. They will pass the buck, for example, this class of workers is not good or something.
After all, if the responsibility is on them, they will take responsibility, and if the responsibility is not on them, they can shirk the responsibility at will.
Lin Yan actually doesn't like to work in management very much, but if you want to make large-scale games, management is absolutely unavoidable.
How to get a group of people to put their minds together is a very complicated problem. For the vast majority of people, they are inherently complex.
If they are managed in a rigid way, there will be absolutely no good end.
Lin Yan prefers to play video games compared to managers. Because, no matter how much the program of video games changes, it is actually dead.
In fact, many people play games that they find thrilling. In the hands of a real master, it looks like a rehearsed play, which looks very funny.
Because, once you are familiar with it, you will know from what direction every enemy is coming from.
Watch as enemies emerge from pre-designed positions and dodge their attacks in advance. makes all this seem not so real, very fake.
Therefore, games such as multiplayer battles will become popular.
Because, compared to programs that are difficult to intelligentize, people are born with intelligence.
Although some intelligence is actually a bit retarded, intelligence is intelligence.
In this way, players have developed many tactics that are useless to the program, but can deceive people.
In fact, most of the game's computers, to some extent, are cheating.
If so, give them the same privileges as the player. Actually, they are very difficult to play well.
Sometimes, even if they provide the same information, but because their data processing speed is much faster than that of people, they still seem to be using plug-ins.
A person, no matter what, actually has a delay in operation. It is a long process from seeing what is on the screen with your eyes, to processing it by your brain, to reflecting it into the actions under your hands.
And those guys who are called game masters, the reason why they are game masters is because their reaction speed is faster than others. (To be continued.) )
