Chapter Eighty-Eight: Pan Game
Lin Yan thought about the development of the "Grand Theft Auto" series in his mind, and he said, "In another three to forty years, by the next century and the decade, you will basically be able to make games that match your ideas." Right now, video games are still in their infancy, and we can't make games like that all at once, right? ”
Little Fat Dun tilted his head thoughtfully, although the time that Lin Yan said was thirty or forty years later, but this is not an unexpected, impossible thing to achieve in his lifetime.
After listening to Lin Yan's statement, he had a new idea, he asked, "Such a game, one person will definitely not be able to finish it, how many people do it need to make it." ”
Lin Yan didn't expect Fat Dun to think so quickly, to talk about the number of people, the duration, and the investment in the production of "Grand Theft Auto V". He's all very clear.
Of course, he couldn't say it so clearly, he said ambiguously, "There are hundreds of people, and nearly a thousand people are needed, and a few years of hard work and cooperation." ”
"Need so many people? So long? Little Fat Dun thought about it in his mind, and couldn't imagine how big a project it would be to make such a game.
In his mind, he thinks that making a game is just one person, or a few people, and doing it for a week and a few months is about the same.
If it is really according to Lin Yan's statement, such a big game, the investment must be very large. Even if you sell millions of copies, you can't recoup your investment cost.
The more Chubby thought about it, the more incredible he felt. However, he will never belong to the kind of person who will be knocked down by difficulties. With a goal, his eyes became determined, and he looked at the code in front of him and said, "I will definitely make a game like that." ”
The game that Lin Yan wants to make is farther away than Xiao Chubby Dun's, and he can understand how Xiao Pang Dun feels at this moment.
But. The only difference is that he knows when the game that Chubby Dun wants to make will be made. And he didn't know when the game he wanted to make would be a finished product.
For Lin Yan, it was even an unattainable dream. Even, he felt that if he did the game he wanted to do. Even smartphones, which originally represented advanced technology, can enter museums.
Even software doesn't exist anymore. Because, what people see is the game itself. What you see can show the information attached to it, and those software vendors don't have to work hard to develop software. Study the interface, just provide a service.
To realize this vision is a dream that cannot be more ambitious, and it takes too much preparation to realize such a game.
Perhaps, if Lin Yan can really go to that day, he himself will be able to rival the country. Because, that game. It will completely change the way everyone lives.
Lin Yan looked at the little chubby dun who had figured it out, and wanted to plunge into the pile of papers. Keep making the game. He interrupted him and asked how many days he hadn't been out of the house.
Little Fat Dun whispered, "I don't know how many days, anyway, since you left, I don't have to go to you, I've been playing games at home." ”
Lin Yan took a look. It's a good thing to be immersed in your work and be able to be involved in it. However, problems are not without them. The biggest problem is that this kind of dedication doesn't necessarily make him work efficiently. Because, he hasn't figured out what kind of game he wants to play.
Lin Yan forcibly pulled Xiao Chubby Dun out of the house to let the wind go, and when he was about to go out, he even felt that he saw the grateful eyes of Xiao Chubby Dun's mother.
Lin Yan didn't care too much about this, because he let Xiao Chubby Dun go out to let off steam, and he was not affected by his mother.
Lin Yan naturally didn't have any place to play with Little Fat Dun, so he took him to eat and eat, and then took him around, hoping that he could relax and make games better.
"Have you figured it out now, what game are you going to make now?" Lin Yan asked.
"I guess I figured it out, I'll make a follow-up game to "Iron Plate Formation" now. During this time, I thought about my other ideas, but they were not very mature. It's not very good to show up on the current machine. So, I felt that I should do a follow-up to Iron Plate Formation. ”
Lin Yan nodded, although Xiao Fat Dun was also "not enterprising", but compared to those third-party manufacturers of red and white machines that he was angry about, he thought that Xiao Fat Dun was much cute. It's not because he can't make a new game, it's because he feels that his idea is not perfect.
And those third parties are full of money in their heads, and they just want to make money safely.
However, it can't be said that they haven't grown in this kind of thinking, and it can't be said that they haven't made games that meet the standards during this time.
In fact, Lin Yan has already seen a game of sufficient level. A game that has no loopholes and allows players to experience the fun of the game.
Hayashi had already given these games to Yuki Chiba and asked her to inform these people. As for how many cassettes are made in these games, although Hayashi Yan wrote some opinions, however, he still told Chiba Yuki that it was best to let them decide for themselves.
After all, how many cassettes are made is also about money. If there is less, you will not buy and sell, and if you have more, you will not be able to sell, and it will become inventory. Although, when counting, they can also be counted as money, but if they can't be sold, it has no meaning at all.
Lin Yan sent the little chubby dun home, and his mood was relatively relaxed. He went to the bookstore in front of the station and bought some books on management, planning to take a look at the rising knowledge, and when the time came to face those people in Chiba Games, he wouldn't know what to do.
However, he was a little worried that those people would not listen to him. After all, he was only that old, and he had no experience of working in Chiba games.
The Japanese workplace has always valued qualifications. If you parachute directly into the past, will you be rejected by them?
It's annoying.
The more Lin Yan thought about it, the more he felt that it was a mess, but for the sake of his ideal game of "big game" or "pan-game". He's still going to lead others.
Otherwise, if he wants to make such a game alone, even if he makes it himself for a hundred years, he may not be able to make it. In order to make this game, the production staff needed even tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of people.
Everyone has a clear division of labor and does a small part of the game, thus showing the whole game. And Lin Yan's task is to build a framework and coordinate everyone to work within this framework. (To be continued......)
