Chapter Ninety-Four: Doctor Mary
The arcade hall on the street is much quieter than usual, not only is there no inferior electronic music like game consoles, but even the noise of people is much quieter.
Although there are still people playing games, the number of people who play games is about eighty percent less than in previous days.
Don't underestimate the impression of public opinion on an industry.
If you say the wrong thing, you can kill someone. What's more, a lot of people are concerned about one thing.
"Hey! Don't go to the arcade these days. The arcade is so messy, there are everyone, you don't want to be locked up in a small dark room. Father Lin shouted at Lin Yan, who came home.
He looked at his son's back as he went upstairs and shook his head, what did his son do, did he release a devil? Daddy Lin remembered the photos in the newspaper that the neighborhood showed him today, and he really felt "premature". Why would anyone do such a sinful act?
Father Lin also lived in the era of war, even in that era, no one did such a thing to his own people.
"Alas, it's really the hearts of people who are not ancient, and the world is declining...... Daddy Lin sighed and shook his head again, in this era of drunkenness, it seems that what happens will not surprise people.
Lin Yan returned upstairs and began to think about the plan for the puzzle game.
"Tetris" can't be thrown now, it's a big killer, and now it's thrown out, it's a bit blind.
However, there is nothing wrong with matching games of the same kind.
Hayashi drew a sketch on paper to depict another time and space, "Doctor Mary" produced by Gunpei Yokoi.
Mary, that is, Mario.
At that time, Chinese pirates, perhaps uneducated, or brain-pumped, put "Super Mario". It's changed to Super Mario.
Super Mario is a game that can be said to have pioneered video game culture. Ren Hell was very extreme at the beginning, as long as the company produced a more high-quality game, all of them would make up Mario's name.
Lin Yan has all the codes of "Doctor Mary" in his head. However, he didn't choose to write all the code as he used to.
But. Only one plan was written, and he was going to exercise the guys who were going to work, Chiba Games.
The next day, Lin Yan took the brown paper bag and came to the office building of Chiba Games.
Although, although some employees have come to work, it is just a look of panic on their faces. I know that they are quite worried about the news in the market. The people who can now come to work in the uncertain future of video games are not the kind of people who go with the flow and don't know what they do. Those who come to work after being admitted.
There are also people who really have a love for video games, and they will worry about the news and what the consequences will be. Lin Yan was also quite pleased.
He stood in front of everyone, patted his desk, and when the people who were talking to him had all looked at him, he said, "Now." I've got a game plan that I need you to work on. It's made. Sister Yui, please make a copy of this, and everyone will send a copy in their hands. ”
The female clerk who was called Sister Yui by Lin Yan took the file bag and went to copy the document.
Lin Yan only said that he wanted to make a game, but he didn't say what game he would do. This caused the people to continue to communicate in small voices.
Although everyone doesn't talk about it. But I also thought to myself, maybe this is the effort made by the upper echelons to appease them. This little trick can be understood by everyone, and everyone is still at ease.
The paper copied by the laser printer is still hot.
Everyone's hands. All have a warm plan. Everyone who got the plan fell silent, and looked carefully at what kind of game this young man they admired a little bit of was planning a new game.
Lin Yan knows that the sales of the game "Doctor Mary" may not be too high. It's not going to catch up with the million-dollar sales of other games.
However, this is the most appropriate game at this time. Even "Super Mario" has a "violent" element such as stepping on mushrooms. This is only a game of elimination, and it is not "violent" at all.
When everyone looked through the plan, there was no great amazement. It's not that this plan is bad, but because it's too mature. As long as you follow the diagram and follow the instructions on it, you can make it.
Compared with the planning cases that are not so clear in most ideas, "Doctor Mary" shows a stability that does not match Lin Yan's age.
The employees of Chiba Games, no one is surprised. There are no vanity under the fame, and they all know what games Lin Yan has done. There will be no exclamation at how powerful Lin Yan is.
However, in this world, no matter what time it is, there are people who like to meet their bosses.
In the Chiba game, there are naturally such people. After reading the plan, he was stunned for a while, and immediately led everyone to applaud.
The applause was thunderous, and Lin Yan pressed his hands and said, "Planning department, please work out a specific timetable according to this plan." I hope that within a month, everyone will have a finished game. ”
Compared to a masterpiece like "Super Mario", "Doctor Mary" can only be regarded as a dessert.
In addition to being delicious, the dessert is not too difficult. Although, in the eyes of everyone, there is indeed a little bit of prohibition.
On second thought, though, it's a team of thirty people. What would it be like if such a team, like a small workshop of a few people, needed months to make a game?
Seeing that everyone had accepted the deadline, Lin Yan continued, "Everyone already knows about the recent tragedy, and I am very sad about it. I believe that everyone's mood is the same. Perhaps, it was because of the violence in the game that the four young men committed such a heinous mistake.
I thought about it and wondered if it would be better to make a game that was completely free of violence. So, there is this game.
That's why I've limited the production time. As one of the leaders in the video game industry, we should set an example, and everyone says yes. ”
"Yes!" Whether everyone thinks so or not, they all say yes.
Although Lin Yan also felt that his words were a bit hypocritical, he saw that the atmosphere of all the employees had been mobilized. He nodded, told him to get to work as soon as possible, and sat down.
While Hayashi was doing these things, Chiba Yuki was in the lobby of a hotel in Ginza, ready to hold a press conference. (To be continued......)
