Chapter 19: Bad News
Little Fat Dun's "Iron Plate Array" is unsurprisingly popular. Even, without much publicity, there was hardly any simmering fire.
The reason for the fire is mainly because of the high quality of this game. There are many secondary reasons, one of which is that players are tired of the games on the market today, where so many changes are similar, the gameplay is similar, and there are not many ideas and innovations.
In such a situation, the first reel-reel game, the first vertical reel-scrolling shooter, "Iron Plate Formation" was launched.
In this game, the flow of the game is long, and it is no longer just a repetition of level after level. At the end of each level, there is a powerful enemy ship. Victory can only be achieved if the enemy ship is promised.
This is the first game of Chiba Games from a game that is not from the hands of Hayashi Hiko, and Hayashi is quite satisfied with this result, and in his opinion, this is a good sign. As I said before, he couldn't do all the video games himself. And Xiao Fat Dun, which is counted as the debut work of half of his apprentices, is undoubtedly very convincing.
However, although the work was successful. Chubby Dun is not very happy, because the root cause of his video game has not been solved. Even though he made such an excellent game, there was still not much progress between him and Yuki Chiba.
He is still the loyal fan of that Chiba Yuki, and Chiba Yuki doesn't have many other feelings for him. The number of times she talked to him, and her vocabulary, were far from catching up with the number of times she talked to Lin Yan.
Chubby was very angry, he didn't know what was wrong. He worked so hard and worked so hard, because he stayed up late to make games and catch up with the original painting, he was fat again. I'm working so hard, why can't I?
Suddenly, Xiao Chubby Dun began to doubt his life, if, according to his current psychological development. Or maybe he's going to destroy the world.
Although, the game "Iron Plate Array" is a big deal in the video game circle. But. Its producer, Chubby Dun's emotional journey, is just a trivial matter.
In fact, there are only three of them who are some famous game producers now. That is, Hayashi Hiko, Shigeru Miyamoto, Toshiyuki Takahashi.
The reasons why the three people are famous are all different. The reason why Lin Yan is famous is that he is the creator of video games, "Space Invaders", "Pac-Man" and many other classic games. Coupled with his previous mystery, under various factors, his fame is very high. But. This popularity is very high, and it only refers to Japan, because he has no habit of leaving his name in the game, and he does not have the need to promote himself in overseas media. Therefore, although there are many people who like to play "Space Invaders", those Americans who love to play do not know Lin Yan's name.
The second most famous game producer is Shigeru Miyamoto. Speaking of Miyamoto Shigeru, he is not a typical game producer. First of all. His experience in game production is very short, and the only finished product that has been released so far is "Donkey Kong".
However, it was this game that made him famous.
Why? Actually, it's not too difficult to figure it out. It is because his "Donkey Kong" is very popular with Americans. Japan, like many East Asian countries, has a certain degree of inferiority complex.
A person who is powerful in China is not powerful, just like Lin Yan. And one was recognized by the Americans, and even by the Europeans. His popularity in China will rise rapidly.
This is like an export of goods, pasted with a foreign brand. It's the same again. makes people feel high-end about him, and in an instant, it has gone up to a level.
Shigeru Miyamoto's game is very popular with Americans, and what Americans like, Japanese people will almost like. So, at the "Video Gamer Conference", he was in his early thirties, and he looked a little young, and he looked so much worse than other game producers.
When it comes to the "Video Gamer Conference", it is positioned as a conference where players can communicate face-to-face with game makers.
In that sense, the conference was a success. Because, this conference produced Takahashi Toshiyuki, a "Takahashi celebrity".
It is undeniable that the quality of Takahashi's celebrity "Bird Knight" is indeed above the standard. However, just such a game is not enough for him to become a well-known game producer.
The reason why he became famous is different from Hayashi Hiko and Shigeru Miyamoto, he didn't make many games, and he didn't get praise from foreigners. The reason why he is famous is because of his hand speed, which can be called a miraculous skill.
Sixteen clicks in a second.
Until now, there are still many people who do not believe in this fact. Even, some people even found a professional doctor and asked them to analyze whether it was impossible.
However, the doctor said it was not possible. Therefore, because of this hand speed problem, Takahashi celebrities have been sued by more serious players in the name of fraud.
It's not just a small video game affair, it's on the TV news. Because of this, the popularity of Takahashi celebrities has increased, and the title has also been changed to Takahashi celebrities by fans.
And after the appearance of these three star game producers, a problem emerged. That is, what kind of system should Japan's video game system be?
Is it a system with star producers as the core, or a system with companies as the core. The difference between these two systems is that one is that players buy games based on the name of the producer, and the other is that they buy games based on game companies. In the former case, players may not know the name of the company that developed the game, while in the latter case, people only know the company and cannot name any of the game makers in that company.
Obviously, the Japanese video game industry is now slipping into the system of star producers, and there are famous companies. Yes, there is, but it is not as appealing as the producer.
Lin Yan is ready to use its appeal to do something. Hold a launch event for a home video game console. I don't understand the situation in the United States, and the Atari 2,006, which dominates on the other side of the ocean, is not popular on a large scale here.
At this time, home video game consoles have even become a trend. There are many gamers who are looking forward to launching a company that plays games at home.
This is not Lin Yan's nonsense. Rather, it is based on facts. Japan's commercial development is not the most developed, but it is relatively developed. There are companies that specialize in investigative consulting.
The report in Lin Yan's hand at the moment is from such a company. As a reborn person, Lin Yan's head. With the entire history of video games, it is natural to have full confidence in their products.
However, as an ordinary person, Chiba Yuki does not have such a prophetic advantage. After Lin Yan placed an order for one million chips at the Titanium Optics Technology Factory. She is looking for a foothold for Lin Yan's behavior.
Therefore, this research report and feasibility report will appear in Lin Yan's hands. Yuki Chiba is not Hayashi who doesn't believe in it, it's the opposite. She believes in Lin Yan very much. Game of Destiny is a prime example of this.
She wanted this report to convince her grandfather and other shareholders. Although the Chiba Group is the Chiba family, it is not only the Chiba family, and after so many years of development, there are still many intricate relationships. And Chiba Yuki, what he has to do now is to wipe Lin Yan's ass and pay for Lin Yan's crazy decision.
"It's nonsense, are you guys playing with children?" An old man sitting to the right of the old man in Chiba. Slapping the table and scolding.
Chiba Yuki's expression is not very good, as an eldest lady, she is rarely reprimanded again. She kind of hated the old man who slapped the table, always pretending to be serious, pretending to be serious, and all the mess he had done behind his back, thinking I didn't know?
Chiba Yuki pouted.
The saying that the upper class is very low-class is definitely not to talk about it. Many people in the bottom society will be constrained by various factors, in the upper class. It's going to be big, big.
It is said that the old man in front of him likes the little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old the most. It's better to have a whole flower bone, it is said. In his home, he raised dozens of these flowers that had not yet bloomed.
Such behavior, if exposed in the media, is a very eye-catching thing. However, he is still at large after so many years of being so unscrupulous. It is estimated that someone is afraid of him.
Old man Chiba didn't speak. looked at the old man in front of him, who was two years younger than him, and reprimanded his granddaughter.
No one knew what he was thinking, the people around him didn't, his granddaughter didn't.
The reprimand lasted for more than ten minutes, and the old man could not disobey the old, if he was young, he could reprimand one hundred and eighty people a day, and he would not rest for ten hours.
"Okay, you can also dissipate your anger, is Youxi still a child, if you earn it, you will earn it, and if you lose it, you should pay the tuition. It's okay, not like this. The old man Chiba spoke, and the old man who was panting there nodded.
"Then I'll go, bye-bye......" Yuki Chiba pouted and walked out. She is very unhappy, absolutely unhappy, if someone can be scolded and smile, then his illness will definitely not be cured by money.
Yuki Chiba's little mood is very angry. She took the car to Chiba Games' factory, saw a box full of holes, and asked what it was.
The staff said that this is a kind of video game arcade in the broad sense of the word, called "Whack-a-Mole".
Turning on the machine, Yuki Chiba took a rubber hammer and took those brown gophers that were round and had no ears as the annoying old man, and kept beating and beating.
At this time, Lin Yan was still looking at the feasibility report that Chiba Yuki gave him. Suddenly he felt a little cold on his head, and he looked up to see that there was nothing. Shaking his head for some reason, he continued to read the feasibility report to increase his knowledge.
He didn't know that if it weren't for "Whack-a-Mole", a game console that could vent his emotions. Lin Yan may be like the rabbit doll that Chiba Yuki was beaten to pieces, and the one who was beaten by Chiba Yuki was as fat as Xiao Chubby Dun.
This kind of pure crushed fat made by hand, I don't know if anyone will want to experience it. Perhaps, Chubby Dun is willing?
The children still came to the Lin family repair shop every day very unwillingly, wanting to see the machine they played with that day. However, how could they see that there were so many people staring at this place openly and secretly, and if they took it out, then what secret would there be?
So, these little children come every day with hope and go back with disappointment. They were so emotionally lost that they didn't even play video games in the arcade.
Their parents see their children coming home so early every day. I was surprised to think that my children had suddenly grown up and become sensible. How do they know the real reason?
Video games, in the end, will not ruin a child's voice. This kind of thing is inconclusive.
Because, in a way. People who can indulge in video games are the kind of people who don't have a lot of self-control. And this kind of person with low self-control is, to some extent, a person with low executive ability.
People who are not high in execution, in most cases, will not have any future. The best day is probably to enter a large company and become an employee under the lifetime employment system.
As for how much they will grow, it is unlikely.
Of course, this is not a complete denial of video games, and video game players. While video games have negative effects, they also have positive implications.
It allows some people who can't do anything to find what they like and fight for it. It can also promote economic development and enrich the spiritual life of the broad masses of the people.
In short, there are two sides to everything, there are good places and there are bad places.
No one knows who will come out of nowhere. Those who blindly praise something as good, and those who blindly black something. are all very undesirable.
Lin Yan has never been a brainless fan, or a brainless black. He had seen a lot of arguments of one kind or another, but he didn't think they were of much significance.
Why bother imposing your own worldview on someone else's head. Some people like Ultraman, and naturally some people like Tesla. The little monster is so cute, how can a man who is only three minutes old compare to the little monster.
"Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring......" The phone rings.
Lin Yan picked up the phone, and the voice of Yuki Chiba came from the other end of the phone.
"There's bad news." Chiba Yuki said.
"What's the bad news?" Lin Yan asked. Could it be that the production plan for home video game consoles was not agreed? He knew that Yuki Chiba was going to convince his grandfather today.
"The U.S. video game industry is collapsing!"
"So fast?" Lin Yan was dumbfounded, it stands to reason that this should be three years later. (To be continued.) )
