Chapter 52: Under the Same Sky
Almost the next day, "Takahashi Celebrity's Adventure Island" passed the review. Enter the production process, the news that will be listed. It spread throughout the video game circle, in the ears of all practitioners.
Because, they have been waiting for this news for too long, too long.
Lin Yan and Little Fat Dun did not let the game pass the review. In fact, there is a lot of pressure. Not only do you have to face the risk of a third-party manufacturer, you may defect to the enemy camp, but you also have to bear the losses on the factory side.
The contracts that Lin Yan negotiated with those cassette factories were the same as those of chip factories. Even if there is no new game and the cartridges can't be sold, he has to buy a huge number of cartridges.
And now, the first third-party game has passed, which is definitely big news in game production circles.
Takahashi Toshiyuki, who was originally popular in the circle for a while, was pushed to the forefront by public opinion.
Fruit Building, in a cramped office. Takahashi Toshiyuki put down the magazine in his hand and said with a wry smile, "I'm really a pig standing in the wind." ”
"How good the pig in the tuyere is, there are so many people paying attention. We are a bit similar to those people in the entertainment industry, and the most fearful thing is that no one will pay attention. If you look at all kinds of gossip news with no lower limit every day in the entertainment industry, you will be satisfied. The long-haired youth said.
His small notebook also played a big role in the production of "Takahashi Celebrity's Adventure Island". He uses data, rather than emotional inference, to let the rest of the company know what kind of games players are interested in. What kind of games do they like.
Takahashi said, "Fortunately, we know Lin Yan, or I don't know if we can pass the audit." If we can't, we'll be miserable. ”
They were a small company, five people in total. Most of the money was used to license the platform for the Red and White Machine, while the rest of the money was used to develop MapleStory Island. That is to say, all their funds are invested in the red and white machine. It's an all-or-nothing bet. If they fail, it will be a devastating blow to them.
So. They didn't submit their work to Chiba Games until two months after Super Mario was released. This is the reason why there are few of them and the progress of work is slow. Another reason is that they're crafting the game. Perfect every detail, instead of handing in a half-finished product and fooling the Chiba game.
"The same cannot be said. Lin Yan: He is not the kind of person who looks at human feelings. It's the quality of our game, and it's really passed. Moreover, it is better not to say such things in the future. Said the young man in charge of the company's external relations.
He wouldn't let Takahashi say that. It's because it's taboo for him to say that. Originally, Lin Yan's behavior of being both a referee and a player was somewhat controversial.
However, most people don't know about it, so it doesn't cause discussion.
Otherwise, someone will make trouble.
These people will say, "Why do I think first-party games keep coming out and no third party has reviewed them?" That's why it's like this......"
Even, they don't have to say it too clearly. That's what it means. That's enough for people to think about.
Toshiyuki Takahashi is not a stupid person, not an idiot with extraordinary abilities in the movie "Rain Man". He naturally understood the meaning of his colleague's words.
He smiled and said, "I was wrong, forgive me this time." ”
"It's okay, pay attention in the future, never say that." After the colleague finished speaking, he said to everyone, "Remember not to say that, forget about the accusations of Chiba Games, it will be bad if we set ourselves on fire." ”
"Got it......"
"Got it."
"Alright. Don't talk about that. We should also have a good meal and a few days off. Celebrate, celebrate, relax, and relax. Takahashi said.
"That's how it should be." The long-haired young man echoed.
Perhaps, outsiders only saw that their game passed the review. Only their "success" was seen. But few people saw their hard work.
A small team of several people, working day and night, working overtime day and night. It only took two months to make such a one, with exquisite graphics and high playability. The game doesn't have a single bug.
The first two, perhaps through technical strength, can be done. The third one, however, is purely a matter of attitude. There are many companies that are reluctant to fix bugs. This is because the cause of the bug may be easy to solve on the surface. However, it is also possible to touch on the lowest level of issues.
The former is less work, while the latter is more than just a small amount of work. It will even lead the whole body. You changed the program and changed this bug, right, but there is a new bug, what should you do?
This process of eliminating old bugs and creating new bugs may cycle for a long, long time.
Of course, Lin Yan didn't know how hard it was for them to make the game. In his world, he makes games, much simpler. Staying up late and working overtime does not exist for him.
And his "high efficiency" in making games is also the reason why people in Chiba Games suspect that he is not alone, but a team.
Because, in their opinion, how can someone who can make such a good game so quickly be a person.
And in Lin Yan's opinion, the speed at which he makes games is relatively normal.
In a word, it means that the worldview is different.
For students who have graduated from key schools, those who have graduated from junior high school and work part-time are not enterprising. They will wonder why they don't study hard and go to such a low-end job.
And young people from wealthy backgrounds will look at the people who graduated from key schools, entered the company, and were willing to be an employee, honestly working for the boss, and accepting exploitation. Why are these people so unenterprising? Willingly exploited? Don't you know that you came out to start a business?
What the? Will entrepreneurship fail?
If you fail, you will fail, and it would be nice to do it again. If you can't do it once, you can come a second time, a third time, until it succeeds.
Which of the above three types of people is really unenterprising?
The bricks are trying to survive, and for him, survival is the most important thing.
The purpose of learning knowledge from part-time jobs is to make one's life stable and more competitive. can survive in the struggle in the workplace until he buys a car and a house in the big city where he works.
And the last one, they have more resources. There are also many opportunities for trial and error. But after many failures, he finally found a way.
The worldviews of the three are really different. Although they live under the same sky, their dreams are different. (To be continued.) )
