Chapter Forty-Eight: Changing Heavens
Yuki Sakata has been working for a few years, although when he first graduated, he wanted to stay at home and inherit the family's small wood processing factory.
Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the sons of rats will make holes. It is a very common thing in Japan for a son to inherit his father's business. A family heirloom candy factory, a family heirloom pastry shop. Century-old shops abound.
It can be said that Japan's social stability has the advantages of stability, but of course there are also its disadvantages. However, outsiders always see the good side.
Only watching thieves eat and not watching thieves being beaten is the mentality that most people will have.
However, recently Yuki Sakata has come out to work. This is also something that cannot be helped, the economy has been getting worse and worse in recent years, and the wood processing factory, which was originally a thriving business, has fewer people who have bought new houses and fewer people who need furniture, so the business is not easy to do.
If the business is not good, the money earned is less, and the expenses are naturally smaller. As a result, others make less money and spend less, and as a result, a vicious circle begins.
Yuki Sakata also came out to work, working in a street-side factory, which is also considered a company in the video game industry.
However, they are very peripheral, and what they make is just the plastic button on the arcade machine.
Yuki Sakata lives here every day, although he is a little tired and a little bored, but he doesn't want to say anything to Lin Yan. For example, I entered Chiba Games to work.
A friend is a friend, a friend to play with, and if interests are entangled, then it is not a friend.
The university where Yuki Sakata graduated is an ordinary second-rate school. Alumni of such universities, after graduation. The work I do is also in companies that are generally not particularly good. They are not the first level of workers in this society. Not even a second layer.
Therefore, Sakata Yuki can't pass these seniors. Just find a job opportunity that is too good.
Compared to him, his sister Sakura Sakata is much smarter. Entered a first-class university in Japan, and Hayashi and Chiba Yuki are alumni.
You know, that's a very happy thing. You know, how difficult it is for an ordinary family to produce a student from a top school.
The neighbors in the street, who don't usually come and go, also came to say hello one by one. I want to get a touch of immortality.
Without exception, it is conceivable that Sakura Sakata has become someone else's child in the mouths of these aunts and uncles.
In fact, Japan has been a country that has been a great place to learn for so many years. Perhaps, this is the characteristic of all countries in the East Asian cultural sphere.
Even South Korea, which is very different from Japan, is very study-oriented.
Despite the fact that they are very repulsive to Japanese home hosts, however. They themselves copied the red and white machines and super red and white machines of Chiba games, and even the new super red and white machines have plans to imitate them.
They imitate the classic Chiba game video game, and it's not once or twice. Take those classic games. Changing the shell and replacing it with some water pipe characters with Korean characteristics has become their thing.
But. There's nothing Chiba Games can do about it. This is because of the Korean market. Very repulsive of foreign cultural products.
This is largely due to the fact that this is a country built because of nationalism. They want to maintain the superiority of their own people over their own people's culture. Otherwise. It's easy to go wrong.
Just like in the beginning, some people thought they were Chinese, some people thought they were Japanese, but no one thought they were Korean.
Later, the Korean Peninsula was awakened to nationalism and established its own country by popularizing the Korean language, which is like a water pipe.
In the beginning, they didn't really care about the concept of the state. If you have milk, you are a mother, and whoever gives herself food will be a native of any country, and they think it's good.
And now, maybe it's overkill, or maybe it's because of the issue of interests. They are very closely guarded by the cultural industry.
Plagiarism is also commonplace.
However, due to the patent applied for by Chiba Games in South Korea, none of them passed. Therefore, even if they imitate the various generations of game consoles of Chiba Games, as long as they don't export them, Chiba Games doesn't have a very good way to sanction them.
As for the Chiba game in other countries, why the game is so smooth, probably because of the American factor.
The United States and the Soviet Union have divided almost all the places in the world equally, and the United States has even more places, and these places are all their markets.
And it is reasonable that Japan, as the number one brother of the United States, can be a fox and a tiger and have a part of the market.
However, this is despite the fact that the new console has been launched for a few months now. However, not all countries have been replaced with new hosts.
For example, in the European market, the barriers of various countries are not generally high. Getting rid of Germany does not mean that France is done, and getting France is not about getting Britain.
In fact, the most important market for Chiba Games in Europe is the British market. This old country, I don't know why, it wasn't necessarily a few years ago, but in recent years, the consumption of video games has grown by leaps and bounds.
As a result, he has become the third largest market in the global market for Chiba games, and it is about to surpass the consumption of games in Japan.
As a result, a number of homegrown video game studios have also been launched. For example, those in the United States who have been reluctant to join the Chiba game camp have taken about six or seven years to get into a silicon and nerve bond, that is, the future of Blizzard Entertainment.
The talents on the British side are very aware of the form and are happy to enter the camp of Chiba games. It didn't take long, probably less than a year, for a game to stand out from the crowd of Japanese games and occupy a spot on the sales charts.
The game is called LittleBigPlanet, and the character that the player can control is a very shabby-looking ragdoll.
The whole game is played, and it is also the way to play platforming games.
But. It's not easy, but it's friendly to beginners. There are countless lives in total. Moreover. After you die, you don't have to start fighting from the beginning of this level.
Plus the peculiar style of painting. Coupled with Chiba Games, deliberately erected a typical example of a British studio.
So, the studio quickly became wealthy.
This feeling of getting rich overnight has made many British college students set up game studios one after another and quickly produce products.
Because, most of these games are very creative, but compared to the products of large Japanese companies. It still looks too small.
As a result, the online store of the new super red and white machine has opened a new window for these small but fun games.
Also, call these games indie games.
These college students haven't really set up new companies, and they don't have to play the game as well as they used to. Burn into the storage medium of CD cartridges, and then send international mails across the ocean to the other side of the ocean.
All they need to do is move the mouse and wait for the game to upload to the server. It's enough to wait for the review.
And the audit team on the Chiba game side has also worked a lot faster. If the game is submitted for review, what are the problems. It is also possible to communicate quickly on the Internet.
Coupled with the above discussion community, you can compare the comments received from players. So. Indie games are thriving for a while.
The wind blew back to Japan. Blowing to the United States again. For a while, the concept of everyone making games was fried.
However, Lin Yan knows that everyone makes games, and everyone starts a business, which is nonsense.
It's okay to be creative without technology, just learn technology, but if you have technology but not creativity, it's troublesome. Ideas are not so easy to learn.
If real ideas were easy to learn and easy to imitate, there wouldn't be famous game producers, and there wouldn't be games that didn't sell well.
As long as a game is popular, you can't copy it according to this game. However, being able to copy something easily is often not the key to a game's success.
Patterns are something that can be easily imitated. However, the core content of a game is not so easy to learn.
For example, Super Mario Bros. is a small, rudimentary game that still seems like a lot of fun.
However, there are not many people who can imitate the fun of it. So many people have done it, and there is only one "Little Big Planet".
The game is great not because it mimics the appearance of Super Mario Bros., but what is at its core.
It's not for nothing that players find platforming games fun. It's not that if you pat your head, you think this game is fun.
Or, if others say it's fun, of course I have to say it's fun. Otherwise, it's an anomaly.
Of course, this may be the case, there are many people who have not played Super Mario Bros., but the people around him are all routines, and he also wants to say that I like this game.
Perhaps, some children, who have not even touched the gamepad, can talk eloquently. Super Mario Bros., for example, has a hidden level that never ends.
He said it in a terrifying tone, and everyone around him believed it, and even regarded it as an urban legend.
And this time, the person who has a lot of idle pain, used a certain way, tested it, and really let him find a way to enter this level.
It's nothing more than a poor contact with the gold finger and an overflow of memory, which causes the game to display errors. Mario, who was supposed to pass the level, jumped over the castle all at once, and as a result, he could only keep running.
Yuki Sakata doesn't go to Lin Yan, but Lin Yan sometimes plays with Yuki Sakata. The two of them just played and didn't do anything else.
Hayashi also knows about Sakata's situation, but he has no idea of changing his life. Because, Yuki Sakata met a girl in that place.
In Sakata's words, he glanced at the girl, and when the girl smiled back, he felt that he had found the meaning of life.
This...... It's romantic.
Thinking of it, Yuki Sakata, such an unreliable guy, has found his true love.
Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh, where is his true love.
On the left hand side is Mayu by the river, and on the right hand side is Yuki Chiba. And I am like a scale, I feel that I can't let go of any side.
Therefore, it is not possible to get too close to either side.
Of course, Lin Yan, as a man, is not without any desire. Sometimes, he also fantasizes about things like the blessing of all people.
However, he also knew that this was not a reliable thing.
However, people, there are always some delusions in life, which is a normal thing.
Thinking about it does not mean saying it, nor does it mean doing it.
Although he knew that his idea was very dangerous, he was content to be able to live such an easy and comfortable life.
What kind of bicycle do you want?
Of course, under the current calm, there are also undercurrents surging. For example, a country to the west of Japan is already in turmoil.
Some people think it can't hold anymore, others think it's going to get stronger.
But Lin Yan knew that in the time and space in his memory, this polar bear finally fell, not because of external forces. It's ruined because of the parasites inside.
The most bitter people are the people, the high-level people, who are full of food and drink one by one. Polar bears have well-developed minerals, and they who control the minerals, even if they don't do anything, they can already live well by selling their resources.
However, those ordinary people starved to death one by one.
They thought that life would be better if the weather changed. Unexpectedly, they sent themselves to hell with their own hands.
Although, according to common sense, when the economy is bad, the entertainment industry will flourish.
However, that is common sense.
The polar bears are not common sense at all, they are down, not like Japan, although many people have jumped off buildings, but there is no economic crisis that starves people to death.
They have a problem even eating, their stomachs can't be filled, and they talk about spiritual civilization.
Although Lin Yan had some sympathy in his heart, he couldn't do anything. In this world, there is no one who can solve all problems.
No one is capable of that.
Lin Yan didn't, and neither did the others. Therefore, if you want to live and live better, you still have to rely on your own efforts.
After all, relying on the mountains and the collapse of the bridge, only by relying on oneself can one live a very happy life.
Because, because Chiba Games is a global ****** company, games can't be made, so Lin Yan can't even make a game and miss the polar bear.
After all, there are many countries that have been waiting for this day for a long time. When the polar bears die, they can continue to live a good life for decades. (To be continued.) )
