What passes away with the wind is the past, and what goes through the wind and rain is the future.

Nothing is easy. The actions of the Chiba Games China branch are too big and involve the interests of too many people. Although it was just beginning, it was calm and nothing happened.

However, a month later, the reaction appeared.

The truck in charge of transporting the game cartridge was inexplicably intercepted, looking for various reasons to detain and fine.

You know, many things, as long as you say that there is a problem, you will definitely find out the problem. The same is true for freight. Overloaded, there are a few that are not overloaded.

Even, even the reason for using diesel fuel is not up to standard has come out.

However, what is more interesting is that everything is all small actions, and there are no officials on the surface who come out to endorse or introduce corresponding laws and regulations.

Therefore, Chiba Games can still do business in China in theory.

It would be interesting to really tear the skin open and come up with a game console ban or something.

Lin Yan wandered around the campus every day, and it didn't take long for him to be invited to the Microcomputer Club.

As the name suggests, all the microcomputers in the microcomputer club are microcomputers. Moreover, not those computers independently developed by China, but compatible computers.

Some of the villains in this community discuss hardware, some talk about the Internet, and some actually talk about games.

"Do you know how many ways to scatter spearmen?"

This was the first question Lin Yan heard.

The games played here are mainly StarCraft and Warcraft, and because of the school's forum, they are managed by the Microcomputer Society.

So. There is also a dedicated game section on the forum, which is divided into two sub-categories of the game area. It's StarCraft and Warcraft.

To be honest, Lin Yan is not very interested in real-time strategy games. Without hard work, natural techniques can't be too powerful.

However, because he knows these two games very well, after all, this is the game he led the development. Therefore, even if you don't press the shortcut key and only use the mouse, you can defeat most of the players in the microcomputer club.

"You have a good foundation, if you can remember the shortcut keys, it will be even more powerful, do you want to join the Microcomputer Society?" A man dressed in white Indeed Good short sleeves asked.

Lin Yan smiled. Seeing them enjoying the game, he said kindly, "No, I don't want to join any clubs." ”

"You ......" The young man was a little speechless. You know, in this era, computers are a very advanced thing in the eyes of ordinary people.

Basically, it can be regarded as a scientific research tool.

If he is an ordinary student, even if he is in China's premier university, he still can't resist the allure of relying on technology.

is indeed a good young man, and the reason why he wants to recruit Lin Yan into the club is very simple. It's their side and the microcomputer club of the nearby university, and there was a recent competition.

I heard that the opponent is very strong. The two schools are "old grudges" again, and they want to compete no matter what.

Therefore, as the second-in-command of the Microcomputer Society, he is indeed a good boy. I began to be anxious, desperately looking for those who had potential. Expect to be able to meet the dead mouse with a blind cat and find a peerless master who is not born in the world.

It's like a sweeping monk. I hadn't even touched a computer before, but the moment I came into contact with StarCraft and Warcraft. turned into a very powerful character.

Others take months and years to reach the level. He arrives in minutes.

Lin Yan didn't want to join in the fun with these people, this game was no matter how important it was. It's just a small competition between two schools.

Lin Yan is a person who has experienced even strong winds and waves, and even the largest video game event in the world is planned by him. Of course, the slapstick of these "little children" is not eye-catching.

Lin Yan still shook his head.

"You...... Aren't you willing to fight for the honor of our Huaqing? Indeed, the good boy used his last magic weapon, he said, "As a Huaqing student, there are not many opportunities to participate in the competition and win honors in the name of Huaqing, don't you want to fight for Huaqing?" ”

"That...... Sorry, I'm an exchange student, not from Huaqing. Lin Yan looked at the impassioned and really good young man who seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and interrupted with some embarrassment.

Such a seemingly bloody statement, Lin Yan himself didn't know how to say it once, not to mention others, even Sakata Xing was fooled by Lin Yan several times.

Although, now the video game industry is so prosperous, although, Yuki Sakata was involved in the production of the "Space Invaders" video game arcade. However, everything in the video game market now has nothing to do with him. He always seemed like an outsider, like a simple player.

He didn't want to make a game, and if he did, he wouldn't be able to play well, and as long as it was a possible way to die, he would die again.

Yuki Sakata sometimes tells people that he is also a very important person in video games, and when others hear it, most of them laugh and laugh, and no one takes it seriously.

It is true that the good young man's face was very embarrassed, obviously, Lin Yan's direct words just now made him feel very shameless. I felt like I had been hit hard.

It was like being stepped on by a Tyrannosaurus rex's bigfoot.

Lin Yan came out of the room of the microcomputer club that was still very quiet and there was no fan humming. He walked in the warm breeze and enjoyed the warm breeze in winter.

Of course, he also knows that this is a precursor to snowfall. It's a bit of geography or physics, or life experience, but everybody knows it.

It's getting cold.

One of the advantages of Beijing-Beijing compared to Tokyo is that it has large-scale central heating facilities.

This is especially true on campus, compared to the feeling of being cold in Tokyo in the house. It's much better to be indoors in Beijing, to have a very warm and comfortable environment, so comfortable that you don't want people to go out.

Compared with the dormitory of ordinary students, the dormitory of international students where Lin Yan is located has a better environment, and even the room seems to be warmer.

Lin Yan sometimes thinks about why international students live better than ordinary students. It is because the school believes that the conditions of accommodation are related to the face of the country. Or is it because of something else.

In such a warm winter day, Lin Yan did not solve the problem of the Chinese branch of Chiba Games. Instead, he stayed quietly in his dormitory, continuing to write his rebirth notebook.

Lin Yan likes the feeling of writing very much. There's an addictive feeling. Compared to some people who write something, they will feel that they have lost half their lives.

Not allowing Lin Yan to write is what makes him lose half his life.

After writing something, Lin Yan began to play the game, the game is a handheld game, a game on the game boy. On the handheld side, although there are already plans to launch a new handheld.

However, the actual operation is far from beginning. Lin Yan hasn't played the game of the new machine these days. It's a game of the old game.

His gameplay may be different from others, who play games and basically pick the genre they are interested in. Those who like to play Tetris don't necessarily like to play Pokemon, and the opposite is true.

Lin Yan is not like this, he plays the game like this. He put all the games, according to the chronological situation, and made a table. The order in which the games are played is in the order of the table.

Starting with Super Mario at the very beginning. to the rest of the games later. Just play one game at a time. Feel how the popularity of video games has changed over the years.

In fact, today, 3D games have begun to make their mark. It's no longer about role-playing games. Many new game genres have emerged.

The emergence of these games is based on the unique gameplay of 3D games. For example, puzzle games and horror games, these two games. Originally, in the era of two-dimensional games, although there were also so. But it has never prevailed. Because, cartoon-like ghosts. No matter how intimidating, it's not scary.

In a plane, no matter how terrifying it is, what kind of horror can it become. In contrast, 3D games have some real-world shadows.

In this way, the fear of the person will become stronger. Because the modeling can be more detailed, those monsters that show a little bit of their body parts can also make people feel a greater degree of fright.

Lin Yan is playing the handheld game now, but there are no horror games. And on the new super red and white machine, the genre of horror games is also restricted.

Moreover, all kinds of methods of sudden and frightening are prohibited, and horror is okay, but it must be terrifying and compliant. Don't make players feel unacceptable.

It stands to reason that "Song of Saya" can also be regarded as a horror game, after all, the heroine of the game is an indescribable piece of meat.

The broken male protagonist fell in love with the heroine who was like a piece of meat, and the fate of both of them ended in tragedy.

Japanese horror games are still quite different from European and American horror movies. In European and American horror movies, a common scary technique is to use a large number of internal organs in the set.

Often, these things are enough, and you can feel the disgust that comes from the subconscious. And when the actor in it is hurt, because people will automatically bring in that role, they will also feel very uncomfortable and a little painful.

This feeling is a bit like a person has grown an organ and limb that does not exist in reality, and it has been forcibly destroyed.

And Japanese games, even if they are full of meat pieces and mosaics like "The Song of Saya", are not scary for the sake of scary, he is more discussing an ideological core.

Lin Yan sometimes wonders what makes European and American games so different from Japanese games.

In the end, thinking about it, I still think that it should be a pot of culture.

Because of different cultures, there are different ways to show horror.

Lin Yan sometimes wonders if to make a "Horror Mario", so that Uncle Mario can also make a cameo appearance as the protagonist of a horror drama for a while.

For example, Kuba is true love, and Princess Bichi is the evil demon king or something, she is keen on Kuba and Mario to love and kill each other. And Kuba is not abandoning Mario.

The painting style adopts a super-real painting style, Uncle Mario, is the appearance of an ordinary middle-aged fat man, with a big belly, and a beard, and Princess Bichi, is a menopausal old woman, infinitely close to the kind of old woman who is the director of menopause.

However, after thinking about it, Lin Yan still felt that it would be better not to make this first. After all, Mario is a healthy, uplifting, all-age gaming brand.

It is not easy to run such a brand. Even Chiba Games, for so many years, the successful game brand is only a "Mario series" and a "Pokemon series".

Apart from these two series, there are no other very successful series. This success does not refer to how much the game sells, but to influence.

For example, you can see people wearing clothes with Mario motifs on them, and you can see children wearing Ash's hats, but you won't see people with Saya pillows.

That's the difference in influence.

The reason why Chiba Games is more inclined to make games for all ages is also because of this.

All ages represent a vast market. Compared to those niche categories, the profits here are many times higher.

You know, eyeballs are money.

Being able to get people interested is already a big step towards success.

For example, when "Super Mario" was first launched, it made people feel that it was an epoch-making game. Before, there had never been such a smooth side-scrolling picture, nor such a delicate background, and even the fact that the protagonist was a "person" became a place of innovation.

You must know that since "Space Invaders", all kinds of vehicles are the protagonists of the game world. Even Chubby Dun's "Iron Plate Array" is not the same.

The game on the game chronology, Lin Yan doesn't even have half of the night now. Handheld consoles have a longer lifespan than platform consoles, so there are more games to play.

Lin Yan knew that there were more than 1,300 handheld games for game boys. These games take two hours according to the flow of each game. It also takes more than 2,000 hours to play.

Even if you don't play sleeplessly, there are more than 100 days and nights, and who can sleep endlessly, so everyone who wants to finish these games is a real brave.

Among them, most of the games are just mediocre in Lin Yan's eyes. However, he also knows that games that can be released to the public. It's all a very good game. In a word, what kind of bicycle do you want?

However, the same cannot be said. Everything is not all about the pursuit of excellence, the game can only become more and more refined and more fun. It is impossible to turn back the clock on history.

Therefore, Lin Yan sometimes wonders what the final fate of those companies that have stopped moving forward will be. (To be continued.) )
