Chapter Ninety-Seven: Bejeweled
The video game league's first-party arcade halls were forced to close several because of the crowds marching.
After suffering huge financial losses, the Video Game Alliance, also held a press conference.
They expressed their deep condolences over this tragedy. Then, they took out a donation of 2 million yen, as well as a donation of 200 yen each for the following year.
Although, it looks like it is twice as high as Chiba Games, but if you calculate carefully, it is difficult for them to sell more than five million cartridges a year, which is too small compared to the sales of almost two million copies per month for Chiba Games.
The reporters present are basically reporters who interviewed the Chiba game press conference a few days ago. They are already familiar with this donation strategy.
As expected, sure enough, a reporter questioned how much video game league will sell cartridges in the coming year.
Shiraishi, the spokesman for the Video Game Alliance, wiped the sweat from his head with some embarrassment. After a few explanations and a look forward to the grand future, the press conference ended.
Ordinary people, easily angry and blind.
The press conference of the Video Game League, after media coverage, was known to the majority of the public. During the demonstration, they no longer went to the official arcade hall of the video game league, but went to the front of the county government to stand quietly.
Every day you close is a day of loss. Rent and labor will not be suspended because you close your business.
The arcade hall of the video game league opened its doors tremblingly. They hired a lot of security guards and stood at the door of the arcade. It looks very intimidating. Although some people felt that they made people feel safe and went in to play. But. Those delinquent teenagers, or unemployed vagrants. When I saw these security guards, I felt a little scared.
In the office of Chiba Games, there are 30 staff members, and the game development department led by Hayashi Yan should be regarded as the largest development team in this era.
In this day and age, it's not uncommon for one person to make games. Five people is considered a small team, and ten people is considered a large team. Thirty people, say it's a super big team. It's no problem.
Lin Yan himself is actually a little dissatisfied with the fact that "Doctor Mary" takes thirty days to make. However, he also knew that this efficiency would not come in a hurry. So many people, enough is enough. If you add more people, it's two things to say whether it's fast or not, but it's definitely going to be messy.
The second game planning book that Lin Yan came up with is still a game of elimination. Some are similar to Bejeweled.
However, due to the display ability of the red and white machine, the picture does not look very good. The best level that can be achieved by the many gems in it is probably only in "Minecraft". Gem icon level.
Because, it's the same kind of game development. Developers, already in the last Doctor Mary. Accumulated a lot of experience. Therefore, compared with the previous "Doctor Mary", the progress makes Lin Yan feel a lot more comfortable.
In fact, that's true for most game production teams. They are all games that only do one type. Specialized in one subject.
Take the production team of the Fallout series, for example, what they are good at is role-playing games. So, after a couple of lead producers left, they could use their fame to pull contracts for the game.
Of course, the designers of the Fallout series are probably still kids, and maybe they've lost interest in video games because they've played too many bad games for Atari.
Of course, Lin Yan couldn't think of so much, in fact, he was too busy during this time. Managing so many people, although it seems that I don't have to do any work at all, but the scheduling and coordination are really tiring.
He's starting to miss the time he used to play games. He doesn't have to communicate with so many people, even if they don't understand what he means, he has to communicate over and over again. He just needs to make the game.
Although he wanted to continue making games on his own, his sanity stopped him.
For his future plans, he is now going to start training people to make games.
And the best teaching is undoubtedly in actual combat.
Although it is very troublesome, Lin Yan knows from the production process of "Bejeweled" that they have grown a lot compared to the period of "Doctor Mary".
"This ...... What is it? Lin Yan anxiously picked up the brown paper bag that Chiba Yuki had just placed in front of him.
"This is a game made by Chubby Dun, and he said he wants you to review it yourself." Chiba Yuki said.
Lin Yan patted his head, and then he remembered that Xiao Fat Dun had been making games all this time, and he said, "I'll watch it quickly, I don't worry about the games he makes, it should be able to pass it all at once, and there won't be any problems." ”
Chiba Yuki looked at Lin Yan, who was as busy as a headless fly, and felt a little funny, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "You better take a good look, otherwise, someone should say that Chiba Yuki's review system is not fair at all." ”
"Got it, I'll take it seriously." Lin Yan replied.
Fair? There is absolute fairness in this world.
If there is anything that is the most unfair, Lin Yan feels that his rebirth is one thing. How can there be such a thing as a prescient one, going back to the past, and competing with those who are ignorant of the future.
Lin Yan sighed.
During the period when "Mario Club" organized the production of games by Lin Yan, it can be regarded as a game submitted by a third party with full firepower.
All the members of the "Mario Club" were all nominated by Lin Yan. These people are all developers he found to be more potential in the process of making games together during this time.
There are artists, programmers, and quality audits. Although, getting them to join the "Mario Club" review game increases their workload. However, Lin Yan believes that this is very helpful to improve their horizons.
In a sense, all talents are forced. If you don't practice and study every day, you will lie in bed and pretend to be dead every day, even if you have potential, you will be just a waste.
Lin Yan has always felt that people are not afraid of tiredness and idleness.
It's like a car, if you drive it all the time, it's rarely going to have a big problem, and if you leave it for a year and a half, it's bound to be a big problem.
After Lin Yan arranged his work, he came to the room of the "Mario Club", found a TV and sat down, inserted the cassette, picked up the handle, and wanted to see what kind of game the little chubby dun made. (To be continued......)
