"I heard that you made the video game arcade?" Sadako Yamazaki asked slowly. She didn't turn her head to look at Lin Yan, but looked straight ahead, as if she didn't particularly care about her question.

"Hmm."

"My house has opened an arcade, you know?"

"Hmm."

"Do you hate my dad?"

"Hmm."

"I heard there's going to be a video gamer contest?"

"Hmm."

"Are you going then?"

"Go."

"Okay, I'll wait for you, I'll beat you." After Sadako Yamazaki finished speaking, she left her seat and walked away without waiting for Hayashi Hiko to say "um".

Lin Yan scratched his head a little, he didn't know what she was going to do. He pondered all the conversations he had just had and saw if he could deduce some clues.

"Do you know Yamazaki-senpai?" The flesh-cushioned girl didn't know where she came out, and listening to her voice, she seemed to be bold, and she was cautiously asking Lin Yan.

"Huh?" Lin Yan turned his head to look at the flesh-cushioned girl, she was wearing a sportswear similar to Sadako Yamazaki, also revealing large sections of her arms and thighs, but her complexion was different from Sadako Yamazaki's healthy wheat color, but a touch of snow white. I don't know if it's because I don't usually participate in sports, or if I can maintain it, or because I don't tan my physique.

He looked at the figure, skin, and appearance of the girl with a cushion, and suddenly felt shocked. Yuki Sakata, that kid, wouldn't have deliberately hit her. If so, then the estimate he had in mind was that he hit his sister and won a beautiful daydream of life. However, the appearance of Sakura Sakata immediately turned his dream into a nightmare. This brother and sister are also interesting, Lin Yan shook his head thoughtfully.

"Count yourself aware, what's wrong?" Lin Yan replied, the meat cushion girl......

"I didn't ...... Didn't ...... much" The Flesh Cushion Girl is like a hamster you are only afraid of raw, and the voice of the answer is timid. This kind of girl is actually quite easy to attract the favor of men, because this kind of weak appearance will cause many people to have the idea of protecting and caring for her.

However, it didn't have much impact on Lin Yan, because the meat ball of the meat cushion girl was very large, and he didn't like it very much. At this time, he was thinking, flat chest is king, poor milk is justice. It seems that there is a little abnormality, but there is no problem, there are a few people in this world who are normal.

"Do you know that Yamazaki-senpai is amazing?" The girl paused for a long time, during which Lin Yan did not answer, and after a while she asked.

"Oh, isn't that amazing?" Lin Yan continued. He didn't want to know about Sadako Yamazaki's current situation, and it was useless to understand, so everyone thought that Su Weiping was born.

"That's amazing! When she competed, none of the people in the men's department could beat him! The Flesh Cushion Girl's tone was quite agitated, and there seemed to be a religious fanaticism on her face.

Is this a cult of personality? Lin Yan looked at the appearance of the flesh pad girl and was a little surprised, it was indeed two brushes that could make people worship like this.

Wait a minute...... Since she is in sports, she can win against boys. That...... Her level of video games must not be bad.

In fact, like most sports or competitive sports, video games are more talented. However, as with most things at this time, most people, even when they play video games, don't reach the ceiling of hard work, to the point of hard work.

Of course, this world is fairer. In general, "smart people" tend to be lazy, while those with mediocre qualifications work harder. And those who really stand at the top of each industry are more likely to have strong self-control and strong execution.

These popular video games on the market today are actually games that compete with neural reflexes and backboards. Nervous reflexes can be exercised, and people like Sadako Yamazaki, who are extremely good at sports among their peers, generally do not have much worse neurological reflexes. The backboard is to remember all the situations in the game in your head, and when playing the game, it is more about not relying on reflexes, but completely playing the game according to memory.

A game like Pac-Man is a game that can be backboarded. The four little ghosts in the game move according to the player's movements, and as long as the player designs their route, these ghosts are almost useless.

Lin Yan was waiting for the time when he made the second generation of "Pac-Man". Perhaps more random elements will be added, such as a map that can be moved randomly instead of a fixed map. Of course, it is basically impossible for a computer program to be completely random, but it is still possible to produce corresponding changes according to a certain algorithm.

This increases both the difficulty and the fun.

Lin Yan continued to chat with the meat pad girl, he really wanted to ask her, it's really okay for you to leave the club for so long.

Generally speaking, juniors are about the same as handymen in the club, and a handyman leaves without notice, which will make the seniors very unhappy.

Although Lin Yan wanted to ask, he didn't ask. Because, after all, everyone is not familiar with each other, and asking this is a bit like asking someone what their monthly salary is. It's all their own **, and it's not good for people who are not familiar with it to talk about this.

Lin Yan, who was "in his previous life", didn't like to be asked how much money he earned a month. Of course, this also has something to do with his low salary level. Maybe he makes more money, and he will take the initiative to say it without others asking.

The games went on one by one, and Hayashi continued to chat with the meat pad girl while waiting for Yuki Sakata's return. Regarding the appearance of Sakura Sakata, Lin Yan can only mourn for Yuki Sakata, but he won't worry too much, after all, he is his own brother. No matter how ruthless Sakura Sakata is, he won't kill his brother.

However, what is the reason why this brother and sister has become such a strange relationship, Lin Yan is also very curious. He hasn't figured it out.,Isn't it normal for his brother to like to watch girls.,Why doesn't my sister allow it.。 Is it brother control? Or do you think my brother's behavior is embarrassing?

Lin Yan felt that he should read the books on psychology to understand why these things were all about. At the same time, the psychology is just that it should be used in the process of making games.

Making money from a big game sale is something that game companies have to think about, and what game makers have to think about is how to make the game fun and how to make gamers really like the game. It seems to be a very simple question, but there seems to be a lot of knowledge in it.

There are so many things that seem so easy, like writing novels, making games, or even growing vegetables. However, after actually doing it, I found that there were problems almost everywhere. These problems may be like this or that, but they cannot be easily solved by a layman.

Although Lin Yan used to be a member of a well-established game industry system, this does not mean that he can really be much better than these current game makers. There are definitely advantages, but they are definitely not as big as imagined. Maybe a genius will appear out of thin air at some point, and there will be no scum left to beat Lin Yan. However, genius is such a thing as a time to appear. Maybe a genius of game planning has sold sweet potatoes all his life, and he hasn't discovered his talent in game planning for a lifetime. Men, I'm afraid of getting into the wrong business.

A long time passed, and Lin Yan thought of a lot of messy things in his head like chatter. Yukito Sakata finally reappeared in front of his eyes.

This kid is much worse than when he first went out today, the kind of brightly dressed and looking like a fan boy. I touched I don't know how much hairspray, and the shiny hair was messy like a grass nest. The originally shiny face also looks like the walls of this old stadium, and it looks a little vicissitudes.

Sakura Sakata behind him was still the same, and he didn't see any difference.

"Let's go, Xiaoyan, let's stop watching. Go home and play the arcade machine. Sakata Yuki said dejectedly and Hayashihiko.

Lin Yan also doesn't like to watch this kind of league that is not very interesting, and playing arcade basically meets his needs. Because, after all, Sadako Yamazaki has already challenged him. If he should not fight, wouldn't it be too cowardly.

As the only seedling of the Lin family, Lin Yan felt that he had the obligation to bear the glory of the Lin family. He really doesn't like Yamazaki Rekuya, the uncle who was still very kind when he was a child.

Lin Yan didn't know why he regarded Lin Yan's "childhood" as his own childhood almost without any guilt. Lin Yan, the original owner of this body, all his experiences are just simple memories for Lin Yan. There shouldn't be any emotional fluctuations, but as he spent more time in this body, it seemed that it was easier and easier for him to mix the memories of this body with his own. Alas, memory is a pretty unreliable thing.

"Xiaoyan! You keep the left, and the right is mine! Yuki Sakata shouted as he stood next to the arcade machine and operated a small dark green tank.

Lin Yan cooperated very well to the left, squatting in the gap of the brick wall, waiting for a rabbit, attacking the tank that came to send him to death. In fact, the game "Tank Wars" has a relatively safe, or rather rogue gameplay. That is, after upgrading to a Level 3 tank, near the central axis of the screen, punch through all the brick and steel walls that can be pierced, and then keep pressing the attack button. In this way, the tanks in the middle of the troop will be killed by shells as soon as they are refreshed.

And the enemy tanks in "Tank Wars" don't even have the same IQ as the ghosts in "Pac-Man". Tanks in Tank Wars don't change their position depending on the player's position. All tanks are based on algorithms, wandering around the map in an orderly manner, but because there can be up to eight or eight enemy tanks on the same screen, there is no need to make these tanks too smart.

Relying only on the algorithm to move randomly can make most players deflated, so if they are a little wiser, then players will probably smash the arcade. Because, for them, the difficulty of video games is too difficult, so difficult that players playing games are tantamount to masochism, and this game will not be played by too many players to a large extent, and it will not be loved by most players.

However, this is also a matter of course. Because, in the current timeline, if you go back a few decades, there will be a man named Hidetaka Miyazaki, who will design a series of games with the theme of "abuse" players. Players need to think hard and try again and again to kill the monster. Not to mention facing a group of enemies, it is one-on-one heads-up, you need to be cautious and cautious, otherwise if you don't pay attention, you will die a miserable death, and then the hero will start over.

However, after analyzing the reasons why this game is really popular, you will feel that its "abuse" of players is not excessive.

One person can single-handedly take on an army of 100,000 people, and it is cool to mow the grass all the way. And it is also "cool" to work hard to study the way to fight an enemy, and finally kill this enemy, and even the comfort brought by the latter, or the sense of achievement, is likely to be greater than the former.

Always cranky, this is a very bad habit of Lin Yan. As soon as what is going on in front of him doesn't have much appeal to him, it will slip away. Because he is playing a game with Yuki Sakata, he has to take care of Yuki Sakata, a relatively rookie existence. So, you have to slow down the pace of playing the game, otherwise Sakata may not want to play. Video games are meant to make players happy, and if someone is unhappy because of video games, it is not what Lin Yan wants.

"I'll rest for a while, Xiaoyan, you can play by yourself." After playing for more than an hour, after the two of them passed more than 70 levels of "Tank Wars", Yuki Sakata said.

Playing video games requires a high degree of mental concentration, and a high level of mental concentration will consume more mental energy, and then produce a feeling of fatigue.

Lin Yan of the "previous life", that's it, let him play a game, for more than five hours, he will feel like he has a splitting headache. There was a time when he was doing playtesting for a while, and it was almost a nightmare for him.

It takes a long time to play a game full of bugs and needs to constantly report vulnerability information, which is simply a torment for Lin Yan, who has a headache after playing the game for a long time.

However, the help he brought during that time was also enough. At least let him understand that the vicious loopholes of a game will make a game that is originally creative and playable to a certain extent, to what extent is rubbish. Didn't China have a game that claimed to be able to save China's single-player market, but in the end ruined the entire single-player market?

Actually, it may be really perfect, and it's also a more fun game. However, who let it be launched before it was completely modified in order to catch up with the schedule, and finally ruined the already sluggish Chinese single-player game market.

Hayashi saw Yuki Sakata sitting on the side, so he switched the game to "Space Invaders". One board and one eye operation, easily destroy the enemy, and enter the next level.

"Xiaoyan, you're having a good time." Yuki Sakata, who was sitting next to him and took out some pastries and snacks, was watching the battle while eating. It looks very laid-back, just like watching funny artists perform in a small theater, eating snacks and watching the lively people.

Lin Yan did not respond to Sakata's praise, he was playing the game very carefully. He wanted to see where his limit was, and whether he could really get through the level with one life and get a super high score.

Lin Yan rarely took video games as seriously as he does now, even in the arcade he frequented, all the games occupied the top spot on the charts. However, he really didn't take it too seriously. Because, at that time, he didn't really care too much about being the first or not. The whole game ranks first, and more is that he is relatively empty and boring. He didn't know what to do other than play video games.

Lin Yan gently shook his wrist and wrenched the joystick, allowing the small spaceship to move around in the dense cannonball attack of the alien octopus. As the number of levels in the Space Invaders game increases, the frequency of attacks by the alien octopus increases. The increased frequency of attacks according to the established algorithm will end up filling the screen with bullets, and the small ship has nowhere to escape.

In today's games, the increase in difficulty is generally carried out by this unreliable algorithm. Take "Donkey Kong", which has recently become popular in the United States, for example, every time a player passes an additional level, the time for the next level will be reduced by a few seconds. When the player has played the game, there are only a few seconds left to clear the game. And in such a short period of time, it is absolutely impossible for the player to rush over and save the princess.

So, although the current games are theoretically infinite levels, in fact, there are extreme levels.

The limit of "Space Invaders" is indiscriminate full-screen bullet coverage, and the limit of "Pac-Man" is the data overflow of level 256, resulting in half-screen garbled characters. The limit of Tank Wars is ninety-nine levels, and then it loops indefinitely. The limit of Donkey Kong is six seconds of death.

The limits of these games may not be discovered by players for the time being. However, as long as there are players playing these games, they are bound to touch the end of these games.

For Yuki Sakata, it seems that watching Hayashi play is more fun than playing by himself.

Lin Yan stood there calmly playing the game, while Yuki Sakata, who hadn't even touched the joystick, shouted.

This phenomenon in Yuki Sakata can be seen in many players. Rather than playing by themselves, they should watch others play, especially the masters.

This is probably because the level of playing by yourself is relatively limited after all, and it depends on the master to play. You don't have to think about it, and you can see the smooth game screen. Looking at such a picture, for them who understand the difficulty, it will make them very excited, like knocking on medicine.

It's like a person who sees a very good movie in which he is an extra, and he will also watch it with enthusiasm. Because, though he looks at it, it is as a viewer. But he also used to be a participant, able to have more sense of substitution than others.

And with the development of video games, video games are bound to tend to become more complex. At that time, there will be a problem, if you don't play a game, then you can't even read it.

And the hands of video games at that time will also be different from the video game audience today. The player base will gradually shrink, the number of players will gradually decrease, and the players who play video games are more often referred to as core players.

Housewives who are having a lot of fun playing Space Invaders or Pac-Man today will give up video games as entertainment.

They don't know if they press the wrong button on a super-complicated handle that would later detonate a nuclear bomb and level the world.

"Xiaoyan, do you know there was a video gamer conference recently?" After eating a plate of pastries, Sakata said to Hayashihiko.

Of course Lin Yan knew, but he proposed to hold this event. However, he wouldn't say that to Yuki Sakata. Although Yuki Sakata has been tight-lipped about the news that he is an arcade maker, he is still a little uneasy. In case the innocent Yuki Sakata is stimulated by that boy, or seduced by a girl, he will tell everything he knows. Then Lin Yanke will be miserable.

In fact, until now, only a few people knew that he was the maker of video game arcades. It didn't spread to a large area, otherwise Lin Yan still wanted to live quietly, it was obviously impossible. He didn't want to be targeted by those big conglomerates that looked like gluttonous monsters, and then there was no scum left to squeeze.

"Lin Yan! Lin Yan! Where are you~" Lin Yan was still playing the game, and the simple electronic noise was mixed with a voice calling his name.

This voice sounds, it seems to be the voice of Yuki Chiba. What is she doing here?

"Lin Yan! Where are you~"

The shouting outside continued, and Lin Yan and Sakata Yuki walked out of the gate. I saw Yuki Chiba, who was dressed in fresh casual clothes, squatting and shouting at a hole in the corner.

"Don't shout, I'm here, that's a dog hole, I'm not a dog, what's the use of you yelling at that?" Lin Yan's brows furrowed slightly, and he said a little unpleasantly. Anyone who sees another person shouting their name at the dog hole will feel very uncomfortable.

"How useless! You see, I'm not calling you out! Chiba Yuki said with a smile, and it could be seen that she was in a good mood, and her eyes were smiling like two small crescents. I went to your house to look for you, and your father said you weren't at home. In this kid's house. Although your father told me where his house was, I couldn't find it, so I had to shout. You see, how successful my strategy is, I must have called you out. ”

"What's wrong? Something's wrong, looking for me in such a hurry. Lin Yan asked. Chiba Yuki is looking for herself, basically she will only look for him when she has something, and she usually estimates that she will put him on Java Island.

"Something!" Chiba Yuki's face suddenly became serious, and she said, "Do you have a problem with your brain, what kind of video game player conference are you doing, why don't you have a "Game of Destiny" project." ”

"Is Destiny Games a video game?"
