It wasn't until late in the evening that Takada's father returned.

Oda, who hadn't sat outside for so long for a long time, felt the gentle breeze, which was also a special taste in my heart.

Although the Takada family looked like a farmer's style, when they entered the house, they found that their TV was large, the refrigerator was double-door, and the furniture was all high-grade solid wood.

This furnishing is Oda himself, and he can't afford it if he doesn't take out a loan. Oda suddenly remembered a saying that had been circulating in the past, saying that farmers with fields were far richer than workers and white-collar workers, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

The reason why Japanese farmers are relatively wealthy is because of grain, fruits and vegetables, and because of the protection of national food security. For imported fruits and vegetables, high tariffs are charged, and the purchase price of domestic agricultural and sideline products has also risen.

This is also the reason why Japanese people like to binge on fruits and meat when they go on business trips abroad.

Oda thought about it a little in his heart, and immediately understood that such family conditions would have a greater impact on his negotiations this time.

If the living conditions of Takata's family are not very good, and the contract he brought can greatly improve their living conditions, then Oda believes that even if he doesn't spend much money, he can easily negotiate it.

However, as things stand, it seems far less optimistic. Before the formal negotiation, he had actually been cold for an afternoon, and he was already at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

However, he thought about it again, and the living conditions of the Gao Tian family were better, so it could be negotiated. Although, Chiba Games' definition of video games is cheap entertainment. The red and white machine is also an inexpensive machine.

However, this cheapness is only relative. At this price, some people can easily buy it home as easily as drinking water. For others, it's a few months. to be able to afford it.

Buying a red and white machine is just the beginning, and the consumption of follow-up games is even bigger. If there are no good economic conditions. With only a few cassettes, even if this person is a genius and feels that he has come up with something novel that has never been seen before, it will largely be the gameplay of the games that already exist in the world.

After all, these novel ideas of his were not born out of thin air. It's based on the games he has played, and it's summarized and deduced.

Although, it is very likely that he himself does not have this awareness. But that's just the way it is. It is placed there, and it cannot be denied.

Of course, there are other cases. That is, although he doesn't have many game cartridges, he is happy to exchange them with his friends.

This kind of behavior, in Lin Yan's mouth, is a player's spontaneous social behavior. He once said at an internal meeting of Chiba Games that if one day, the Internet, which is still just a prototype, will grow and develop. Then he will consider moving this social network from offline to online.

This gives you a better idea of what players think of a game, and it also increases player stickiness.

Oda, as a mid-level officer, attended these meetings. But. He didn't understand too much. For him, he doesn't need to know too much. You just need to do the things that your superiors tell you to do.

The last possibility is that this player reads a lot of game magazines. I know the game reviews in game magazines.

In this way, we can make a fun and novel video game.

In fact. At the internal meeting, Lin Yan also said the same.

He said. Exploring new genres is inevitable, but don't let that stop you from exploring existing genres.

It's important to know that there's no way to know if a player likes a new game genre until it's launched. Crossing the river by feeling the stones may become an instant hit, or it may become garbage that accumulates dust in the warehouse.

Mature game genres don't have this problem, and with the experience of the past, you can make corresponding adjustments if you know why the previous similar works have been successful and what problems they have.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the game made in this way is necessarily a sure deal.

The minds of players are as hard to guess as the minds of women.

Maybe they liked Space Invaders last month, and Super Mario Bros. next month.

It's hard to grasp how quickly players' tastes change.

Therefore, there will always be some companies that suddenly become popular in this world. These companies don't even know why they're popular. The reason for this is because they are inexplicably standing on the cusp of the game wave.

A pig in the tuyere will become a hero, let alone a company made up of a group of people.

Of course, it is not right to say so mysteriously. Entertainment works, after all, are still a reaction to real life.

As lifestyles change, the carriers and themes of video games are bound to change.

For example, in the current game market, even if it is a mass-oriented game, it is not afraid of high difficulty. One is because there are fewer leisure and entertainment activities today, and the other is because there are not many games, so there is not much choice.

With the development of technology and the increase in entertainment projects, players are actually becoming more and more impetuous. As a result, the genre becomes much brighter.

In the past, games that required dozens of people to be played together for more than ten days will be withdrawn from the mainstream market and become marginalized. And those games that only take twenty or thirty minutes to play a game will have more people playing.

Oda blinked, concentrating his mind to banish these arguments that Hayashi had instilled in his head.

What he has to do now is not to worry about the future development of the video game industry, he just needs to talk about the young man in front of him, who is optimistic about both Yuki Chiba and Hayashi.

Compared with Takada's mother, who is a little difficult, Takada's father seems to be much easier to talk to. He had a peasant's roughness, but coarseness didn't mean rudeness.

"Excuse me, what are you going to ask him to do if your company wants to sign a contract with my son?" After asking this sentence, Takada's father listened attentively to Oda's speech.

For these words, Oda has pondered many times in his heart. Without the slightest stuck, he said everything he thought.

Takada's father listened very carefully, nodding from time to time. Occasionally asked his son beside him with his eyes, and after receiving Takada's confirmed feedback, he nodded again.

Oda kept talking, Takada's father kept listening, and after he finished speaking, Takada's father didn't directly say yes or no, but asked Takada, "What do you think?" ”

――――――――

It's Yuebai's birthday today, so the update is a little early.

――――――――

In addition, last month's full attendance was really not, and I was sad.

――――――――

In addition, I opened a new book on the wasteland stream with a trumpet, called "The War Has Never Changed", and the second chapter of the previous day came from there. If you're interested, check it out, I'm worried that no one will see it.

I think the title of this book is too two, it might as well be called "New World of the Wasteland", "Journey to the Wasteland", and it is going to be down-to-earth.

It doesn't matter, you can change the title of the book anyway, if there is any good title, remember to tell Yuebai.

Thank you~ (To be continued......)
