"What game?" Chiba Yuki said with great interest. She was quite satisfied with Lin Yan's efficiency in her heart. Not long after I talked to him, she actually knew what game to make, which seemed to her to be quite magical.

The creation of video games is, to a certain extent, the creation of literary and artistic works. Although it must be limited to many conditions, just as a novel is limited to words, and a movie is limited to a glimpse in the camera. However, there is a better inspiration. It's still not easy.

"A football-themed game." Lin Yan said.

"Football games? This one? Chiba Yuki thought about it and felt a little puzzled, she asked, "Is it okay to play football?" If one likes football, why not play it themselves, but play games? ”

Lin Yan replied, "There are many reasons why it is impossible for a person to play football. It is possible that there is no venue near home, it is possible that after a day of work, it is too tired to go to school after a day, and there is no physical strength. It may be that you simply like football, but you don't like sports. It's like someone who is an avid fan but doesn't play on their own. Also, the price of buying a set of football equipment is a bit expensive.

In my mind, video games should be an inexpensive leisure activity. With a small amount of space, a small amount of money, it can bring a lot of fun to people. So, I think soccer games are more suitable. Moreover, even on arcade machines, there are no sports-themed video games. If, the red and white machine came out first with the cassette of the sports game. It is quite possible to capture a group of sports fans who have never been exposed to video games before. This kind of market that has not yet been developed is the best market. ”

Lin Yan made a long speech, but in fact, there was a lot of nonsense, and it was not so concise. However, the good thing is that it is not a nonsense. can still make Chiba Yuki understand what he is talking about.

Chiba Yuki, according to Lin Yan's words, think about it carefully. I found that this was indeed the case. Years of experience by my grandfather's side. Let her know that it is indeed this newly developed user group that is the easiest to satisfy. And these people are also the easiest to pay for.

The most stingy buyers. is often the most knowledgeable. Because they know how to do it, they tend to spend their money wisely. What are the best and most boutique things to buy. However, high-quality things often require effort. Much more than the average product. Moreover, even if the funds are sufficient, most manufacturers cannot produce high-quality products.

And without a large number of ordinary products as a practice, how can it be possible to produce high-quality products. So, the end result is. Those things that are sought after by a small number of core players are often not popular. And those products that have a wide range of sales and a wide range of sales are called not popular. That's why. Probably because the core players control the right to comment.

"And how long will it take you to develop? If I can determine the time, I will contact the production line. Chiba Yuki said.

Lin Yan said, "It will take at least a week." I haven't done football games before and I'm not too sure. ”

He was telling the truth, whether it was in his "past life" or "in this life", he had never played a football game, not even studied it.

So. Making a game of soccer is a challenge for him. One difficulty far outweighs the challenge of Super Mario porterage. It was almost the first time for him. Make a game from scratch. Even when he was in his "previous life", most of the things he did were carrying this kind of thing.

Split a popular game, split it, change the skin and then put it on the market.

Anyway, the market for mobile games is so big. There are so many wrongdoers who will spend money, as long as it is made and the money for promotion is spent enough, there is almost no need to worry, this game will lose money.

It is precisely because of this shoddy production, which is almost self-defeating, that those veteran players who have been playing the game for many years. How unsightly it is for mobile games. Of course, it is precisely because of the mobile phone platform that many novices who have not been exposed to video games before have played games. And these novices are very willing to spend money, so they have created a "big boom" in the mobile game market.

Until one day, all the novices are tired of shoddy games. Perhaps, the playability of mobile games will really get higher. It's not just a game that you have to spend money to be able to play.

"Hmm...... No hurry...... You do it slowly, as long as you can make up for the gap in the previous period. Chiba Yuki said.

Speaking of the window period, Lin Yan suddenly remembered something. Those third parties have more or less arcade games.

So, he said to Chiba Yuki, "It's better to let those third-party manufacturers first." Do a porting of arcade games. This can not only make up for the game window period during this time, but also improve their understanding of the platform of red and white machines. In practice, it is better than just staring at the data. However, inform them of the matter. It's not a game, as long as the porting is completed, it can be marketed, and it must be reviewed before it can be approved for market sales. The reputation of the red and white machine game cannot be relaxed at all. As long as there is a slight sigh of relief, the red and white machine may fall into the abyss like the Atari 2600. ”

"I see. Porting arcade games, such a good way, how I didn't expect it. Chiba Yuki patted his head and said.

Lin Yan is not too optimistic about the idea of transplanting arcade games. Although, this can be done to a certain extent. Convert arcade players into home players.

However, I believe that those third-party manufacturers will also see clearly. If, because of their transplantation, it led to a great recession in the arcade market. Then the orders for the new arcade machine will gradually decline. And their dependence on red and white machines will become higher and higher.

And this kind of behavior of relying on other people's platforms to release games. It's a bit like a snail that has lost its shell and turned into a slug. Without the protection of hardware, it can only become fish to be slaughtered.

I believe that there are many people who can see this clearly. They may or may not refuse to port the game.

Because, people often act for the sake of immediate interests. Long-term planning often can't resist the temptation in front of you. Since you can get a lot more money from transplanting now, why bet on the ethereal future arcade market. (To be continued.) )
