Chapter 29 Make a contribution
Many times, there is no shortage of talented people in this world, there is no shortage of people who can make a good product, but unfortunately, most of the time money is limited in this world. No matter how many talented people there are, there are only so many funds that can be used, and if the output is not as high as the input, although the works produced are excellent, they will lose money.
So, even if you can occasionally produce one or two films and eat by feelings, in the end, it is still the kind of cheap that can make money, and it has become the mainstream of the market.
Recently, Lin Yan watched the trilogy of memories of Katsuhiro Otomo and was moved. Among them, the one that made him sigh the most was the second paragraph, the short story called "The Most Stinky Weapon".
Of course, in fact, the three short stories, each with its own point, are all extremely excellent works.
In the second work, Lin Yan actually thinks that it is very suitable to change it into a game or novel.
Here's how it goes.
A small staff member of the research institute, because of a cold, wanted to try a new cold medicine made by a colleague, but mistakenly ingested a drug secretly researched for the government, and became the source of a foul-smelling chemical gas, and all living things in his place would be smoked to death. Unaware of this situation, his boss ordered him to bring the "sample" to Tokyo, and he carried out his mission "loyally" through the encirclement of missiles, tanks, and warplanes. As a result, Tokyo was attacked by the poison gas he brought, and the American army personally stepped out to sacrifice the secret weapon.
Although, on the surface, this is a short story full of black humor. However, there is something about the Japanese workplace on the inside.
For example, the person in charge of so-and-so faced with a long report from the military. And the protagonist even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops besieging him, he still has to go to "work".
Of course, Lin Yan feels that this theme is very suitable for novels and games. There are some changes to be made. At least the modifications are in line with the taste of the general public.
For example, you can set that the person who was smoked did not die, but became a zombie. In this way, even if it is an ingenious zombie theme.
Then, the current mainstream zombie games are still similar to the stealth class. This game,Can it be changed to the Musou category?。
In this way, the protagonist can overcome all the obstacles and cut down all the zombies in the world, and in the end, he is the only one left on the earth.
Of course, he might also have had someone else take the medicine he took. Perhaps, organisms adapted to this gas will evolve. Perhaps, for these lives that have adapted to these gases. Without this smell, they may not be able to live.
After all, something like this, in history, has happened I don't know how many times.
This history is not the history of human beings in just 10,000 years, but the history of the evolution of life on earth.
Although Lin Yan thought this idea was good, he didn't even write a script. Because, on the one hand, he is now busy in the fabric material department, and on the other hand, because Lin Yan feels that this kind of work that changes other people's copyrights is actually very restrictive.
Otherwise, there won't be many powerful game companies that will make a mess of the game after taking the list of movie adaptations or anime adaptations.
It's not because they don't have the ability to make a good game, it's because they don't have the means to make a good game.
Because, there are too many requirements from the copyright owner and too many restrictions. For example, the movie "Star Wars" can be said to be very popular and has endured for decades. But why has the adapted game been rubbish. If there are excellent space works, it is not for nothing.
However, why is it not possible to get to "Star Wars", in fact, it is basically the responsibility of the copyright owner.
For example, a very popular character is sold by the copyright owner for some reason. Although it can still appear in movies, it can't appear in derivative works.
This can be fatal for adaptations, you must know that adaptations of game works can be sold, isn't it because there are a bunch of fans of the original work who want to interact with their favorite characters and take risks together?
Therefore, Chiba Games itself has not changed itself. Of course, after Chiba Games' animated film changed the game, they were still made and produced.
However, it is generally a small game, and it is difficult to have a game. Because, unless it is negotiated on both sides. Make a big game, it will not conflict with the movie, and it can be fun. Otherwise, just come up with a little game to fulfill the wishes of the fans.
Therefore, some people accuse Chiba Games of being a stupid donkey, and they don't even know how to make money.
Jiang Yibing and her group, in fact, are not very practical when they are actually operated. Most of the time, it's reading materials, all kinds of papers, all kinds of literature.
Even the real thing of various cloths. After all of this is basically done, they start the official game.
Although it is not a very professional counterpart for Lin Yan, for Lin Yan, he can also get started quickly. After all, Lin Yan had already eaten and seen it now.
Yes, there is no problem with the living fossils of the video game industry, because, to a certain extent, the history of Lin Yan's own game production is the history of the video game industry.
Of course, the prototype of a video game that appeared in the United States in the mid-twentieth century is not counted. After all, that's not a product of a commercial game. It's just that some cutting-edge scientific researchers, in order to persuade others, have carried out some small means.
The whole project took more than a month to complete. The result is a ready-made texture pack. It's integrated into the work package inside Chiba Games.
And, there was no immediate update to the companies it worked with. This is also a consistent practice of Chiba games. After all, the most advanced technology must be used by yourself and after launching a market-oriented product. It will be distributed layer by layer to the cooperative manufacturers according to a certain level.
Otherwise, it's easy to go wrong, for example, a long, long time ago, Chiba games were pushed because of new technologies.
Other manufacturers, ahead of the games launched by Chiba Games, adopted this technology. In the end, there are many fans of the game, saying that Chiba Games is a thief, a robber, and the company they like, and they are forced to contribute the technology they like.
Of course, in the Chiba game camp, there is actually a sharing of technology. However, technology sharing is not free. Even if you want to use a Chiba game, it doesn't mean that you can use it for free.
It is completely impossible to say that Chiba Games stole the technology of which manufacturer, or that Chiba Games overwhelmed people and forced someone to hand over a certain technology.
It's not that Chiba Games doesn't have that ability. I don't want to. Because, Chiba Games clearly understands that although these manufacturers will temporarily succumb because of the strength of Chiba Games, as long as Chiba Games are slightly declining. Or maybe it's a manufacturer that wants to get something. They will quickly defect.
In Lin Yan's memory, he used such an example.
At the beginning, Suo Mud relied on various preferential policies for manufacturers, and grabbed many game companies from Ren Hell. These game companies have contributed to the rise of the lock mud console, however, the rise of the console has also made the lock mud expand.
Lock mud did such a thing when they launched a new console. A lot of strange technology is used, and all discounts for game manufacturers are canceled, and many harsh conditions are in place. In this case, these Japanese manufacturers all ran to the opponent of the lock mud at that time, the slightly hard murder box host.
In the end, there was no choice but to find a game studio in the United States, buy them, and let them become the second party of Lock Mud, and make games for Lock Mud.
If you don't have people in the video game industry, look at the game lineups of both, and the companies that launch them. An illusion is created.
It's a slightly hard murder box, which seems to be the host of Japan, and Pierce, who is locked in mud, looks like the host of the United States.
Of course, the fact that you will die if you have an advantage is not just a matter of locking mud. Ren Hell had done this before it. Otherwise, let hell be replaced by mud locks.
And after the mud is dead, it is slightly hard to take advantage of the situation. Of course, the slight hardness that is in the advantage already feels that it has won.
So, their next-generation host, began to continue to do the dead. Not only is the performance poor, but the size of the entire machine is also very large, and in such a large case, the power supply cannot be built-in.
If these are not the places where they die the most, the place where they die the most is that they actually sell more expensive than the game consoles launched by the lock mud at the same time that are smaller than them, with good performance and better experience. Even, it is more expensive than 30%.
As a result, due to the fact that the host did not sell well. Game manufacturers feel that there is no future in this platform. Unless it's a game wholly invested by Micro Hard, otherwise, there is no game that is exclusive to this game console.
On the other side of the lock mud, there are leading game companies, Naughty Dog's "The Last of Us" and "Uncharted" series exclusive escort. In addition, all kinds of masterpieces will also be preferentially launched on game consoles with mud locks.
This time, it can make Wei Hard panic. However, their decision is also more intriguing. Maybe it's because their new president of India doesn't like to play games. Maybe it's because of the game business, for micro hard, there is no significant effect. did not achieve the mission entrusted to it, so the president of India even wanted to abolish the entire murder box department.
Of course, in the end, it was not undone. However, it's not much worse. All games announced for Murder Box will also have a Windows version. That is, the PC version.
This can actually be considered cross-platform. You know, the expensive price and poor configuration of the murder box are prohibitive.
The only reason to buy, apart from faith, is probably indie games. Now, soft fans of faith are basically crying, and in order to monopolize the game, it turns out that it can be played on the computer, why do you want to buy your mentally handicapped console.
As a result, the situation of the murder box became worse and worse. In the end, there are fewer and fewer players who choose to use the murder box.
The fabric material group was disbanded, but Jiang Yibing did not have a new job. Her job is still to study fabrics. Study how the cloth is shown in the case of the game, the facts.
The project team was cancelled because most of the work on the project had already been done. Several basic fabrics, and the fabric materials that can be used, have basically been realized.
Jiang Yibing's follow-up work is to add more rare, even impossible materials. Then, there is also a matter of going to the specific game project team to assist them and make better use of this feature.
Of course, this function can be as easy to use as it is now, in fact, it is not entirely because of Jiang Yibing. It seems to be so easy to use now because there are underlying personnel optimization, and in the new version of the host graphics driver, all the data is built-in.
Of course, although the graphics driver of the game console has been updated, the average gamer is actually unaware of it.
Game consoles, for players, are actually like a black box. Players may not care what happens inside, they just care about being able to play the game and see good graphics.
According to this characteristic of the player, the Chiba game console, although it is updated from time to time, but, every update shows a progress bar, what is being updated, is never said to the player on the update screen of the game console.
Of course, if you are interested, if you go to the official website of Chiba Games, you will be able to see the specific update. Of course, it's not so much gamers who watch these updates, but professionals who are looking at them.
Because, what updates have the driver made to the game console, what optimizations have been made, and what new skills have been updated. For these technicians, it's all about that.
Perhaps, the special effects that could not be used before can now be used after the driver has been updated.
Chiba Games, in this subtle change, is actually perfecting their console. Although, the functions are definitely getting more and more cumbersome, and the whole structure is getting more and more bloated.
But, to some extent, these must be there. Not for some reason, they don't exist.
In this process, Lin Yan actually played a facilitator. Because, for him, making video games is not so much a career as his calling.
To use a more vulgar sentence, it is a call of duty.
Otherwise, why would he come into this world? I'm afraid that if not, he won't have a reason to come.
People always have to contribute. (To be continued.) )
