Chapter Ninety-One: The Mario Club
Mayou by the river held the bone china cup, facing the light, looking at its crystal clear appearance, his face was full of the joy of a little girl.
Lin Yan is not a flower saint, and naturally he doesn't understand what the joy of Mayou by the river at this time represents.
He and she were chatting with each other.
Mayu Riverside is talking about the people and things she has met at the shrine these days, while Hayashi is talking about what he has seen and heard in the United States.
The two of them are basically cats and dogs, and they can see that they are very happy with each other.
The night was a little thicker, Lin Yan stood up and said goodbye, and Mayou by the river sent him to the door.
When Lin Yan went out, he saw the three brothers by the river, the three brothers had no face and nose, and their nose was not face, and they looked very dissatisfied with Lin Yan talking to their sister for so long.
Lin Yan said hello to the three of them amicably, and then walked out of the shrine slowly.
Outside the house, it was snowing, and I didn't feel the cold, and the fine snowflakes melted when they fell on my skin. This slightly cold feeling made Lin Yan sober up a bit. Suddenly, he kind of understood why the three brothers by the river looked at him so unpleasantly.
The New Year was spent in peace. The Japanese celebrate the New Lunar New Year, which is the first of January. They don't have any Spring Festival Gala, and the larger celebration program is the Red and White Song Battle broadcast by the Japan Broadcasting Association, referred to as the Red and White Song Club.
The red team and the white team compete with each other, and the most influential singers in history or in the past will take the stage to sing. In addition to the scene of reunion, there is also a sense of crisis of competition.
Back home, it's not yet time for the Red and White Song Party to begin. But. Today, Daddy Lin closed the shop early, and the family gathered around the quilt. Watch the pre-warm-up on TV.
Lin Yan enjoyed this feeling of happiness a little, but. He was also a little sad, if this New Year was with his real family, how nice it would be.
However, Lin Yan thought that if he hadn't been reborn and hadn't crossed over, he hadn't returned home for ten years, and the expression on his face was a little gloomy.
He didn't go home because he couldn't go home, but because he didn't want to. After so many years of going out and drifting, nothing came of it. I'm still a little game planner, and it's quite faceless to mention it when I go back.
Coupled with relatives and friends, I don't want to go back. As for the parents, if they want to think about it, they just give it a call.
Even if he was asked to work in his hometown, he wouldn't be able to do it. Because, his skill is to make games, and his hometown is that place. There is no company that makes games. Basically, a desert that can be called a game.
The New Year passes.
People are slowly getting back to work.
The game of the red and white machine is also steadily launched at the rate of one per week according to Lin Yan's plan.
During this time. Among the games launched, there are also some popular games.
"Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Stealing Eggs", "Crystal Castle", ......
and a series of games with sales of more than 500,000 have appeared on the market, and those children who have won red and white for the New Year. Quickly turn their money into a game.
And these game companies. Champagne was opened to celebrate.
The hot sales of games have naturally led to the growth of sales of red and white machines. After the Spring Festival, this period of sales season. The number of red and white machines in Japan has reached 3 million.
Such a number of arcade machines has made many manufacturers covetous, and at the same time, they have also thrown themselves into the arms of the red and white machine camp.
All of a sudden, Lin Yan was even busier.
During this time, Lin Yan came to work at Chiba Games as an expatriate.
Because he had appeared before, he was recognized by some employees. So, although he came to work at Chiba Games, it was exciting, but it was not surprising.
Lin Yan is the kind of person who hates talking, so after a few words, he started to work immediately.
And the people rode on their heads for this seventeen-year-old man, and led their young man. Regardless of whether he was convinced or not, at least on the surface, he obeyed Lin Yan.
After all, he can be regarded as the grandfather of video games, the first person in arcades, and the designer of the most popular home game console. This series of titles, not to mention on a teenager, even on the head of a pig, he can also be respected.
Lin Yan didn't immediately start organizing these people to start developing games. Instead, the "Mario Club" was established, and the role of this club was to review the game of red and white machines.
He did this, firstly, because there were too many new manufacturers, too many games submitted, and Xiao Fat Dun was making his own games, and he couldn't review it alone. Second, he thinks it's a good way to improve the knowledge of people in Chiba Games.
"Hey, you see that Lin Jun is really meticulous in his work!" A female employee talks to an employee next to her.
"Of course seriously, otherwise how could he be the first person in video games." Another female employee whispered to her.
These female employees are in the insect catching department. Their job is to keep trying out the game, and then find out the problems in the game and submit it. Submit it to the program department for revision.
The reason why all girls are used is that it is simpler in the end that these girls are more patient and more careful.
Before Lin Yan established the "Mario Club", he subdivided the various departments and determined their functions.
There is a department dedicated to art, a department dedicated to programming, a department dedicated to debugging hardware, a bug catching department, and a game planning department.
Lin Yan is now the head of the game planning department, and his department is mainly responsible for the game's world view, gameplay, numerical balance, and all the messy things.
When he first set these up, Lin Yan was still a little in a hurry. However, as time went on, he felt that he was still able to adapt to this position.
Managing five departments with a total of thirty people, he suddenly felt that it was not as difficult as he had imagined. On the contrary, it was quite relaxed, and his mind slowly became lighter.
Because of him, all the departments also became lighter.
Lin Yan didn't put forward his understanding of video games during his daily working hours, but listened, listened constantly, listened to the opinions of these colleagues on games, and saw what kind of game they wanted to make.
Lin Yan believes that a project should be interesting to the people working on the project before they will do it, so he talks to each employee to determine what kind of game they like. Finally, the new game is only started.
This is a bit idealistic, but Lin Yan doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with it.
And just like that, time flew by again. (To be continued......)
