There is such a company in Japan, from repairing pianos, to find that making musical instruments is far more profitable than repairing musical instruments, so they started to make musical instruments.

Following the trend, it began to make electronic musical instruments, but the electronic components were too expensive, so they began to develop their own digital signal processors.

After mastering the digital signal processing technology, the Internet happened to be on the rise, and they naturally made routers.

In this way, they became a comprehensive manufacturer of musical instruments, electronic devices, and network equipment.

But that's not all.

In the process of repairing the piano, they gradually learned carpentry skills, so they tried to make furniture, and then they learned to build houses.

The government department saw that their furniture was so good that they ordered wooden propellers from them.

To test the propellers, they borrowed aircraft engines, but the borrowed engines were not of very good quality and were always bad.

So, before they knew it, they had mastered the art of repairing the engine.

At this time, a crazy employee asked, "It's better to do it ourselves, why don't we do it ourselves." ”

Then, they produced the engine.

Now that there is an engine, why not make a car, they produced a motorcycle.

At this time, they received an order for the engine of Toyo Sweet Automobile, and accidentally made the engine of Fujiwara Takumi's car galloping on the Akina Mountain.

With an engine, why not take a ship, they began to produce ships and mastered the process of FRP.

Mastering the craft of FRP, they are like making a sturdy water slide. And then a swimming pool?

Another crazy employee asked, "A swimming pool and a home bathtub are the same thing, why don't we do it." ”

Thereupon. They started producing bathtubs.

As a result, the company became a comprehensive manufacturer of musical instruments, electronic equipment, network equipment, furniture, housing construction, engines, motorcycles, shipbuilding, swimming pools, and household bathtubs.

It's not exactly a joke, it's a real reference. That's the Japanese Amaha.

In fact, Chiba Games seems to be expanding its business little by little, and perhaps many years later, future generations will talk about Chiba Games. It is also a manufacturer that spans a wide range of fields.

What Lin Yan is testing recently is the online version of "Counter-Strike", which is a multiplayer online battle and has relatively high network requirements. That is, the online game version of "Counter-Strike".

Counter-Strike is a game that places a lot of emphasis on reflexes. If you react quickly and shoot accurately, you will play well. And the reaction between ordinary players and good masters is really too different. This has the consequence that the master and the low hand play as if they were two games.

Play to the end. Look down at the battle of master players. It will be like a mortal, watching the gods fight.

It's like the game "Unreal Tournament", because the level of the master is too high, you can even know the opponent's position by judging the sound effect, and achieve the kill through prediction, even if you can't even see the opponent, the person is already dead.

This is for online games. Certainly not a good thing.

So, what Counter-Strike Online is going to do is simple. It is to narrow the gap between the master and the low. This is where the game mechanics come in.

Make Counter-Strike Online a fast-paced, multi-death, multi-kill game. The information summed up is not what Lin Yan said with empty teeth.

Rather, it is based on the popularity of fighting games, as well as the problems encountered in StarCraft and Warcraft.

Fighting games have been increasing the difficulty lately, but this is not a positive assessment on the Chiba side of the game.

Of course, the manufacturers of the fighting games are not stupid, and they do it for a reason.

To put it bluntly, there are many player bases, and there are no players. Therefore, it is necessary to deepen the difficulty, to improve the enjoyment, and to increase the challenge.

If the number of fighting players decreases, they will do something else, which is to start simplifying the difficulty of fighting games and lowering the barrier to entry.

And "Counter-Strike Online" is basically the same as not having a large user base, so it is necessary to make this game accessible to more people.

You must know that on the first day of the launch of "Stone Age", the user retention rate, that is, the chance of users who have registered to log in to the game for the second time is 40%.

This is a very remarkable number, you must know that the Internet is becoming more and more developed, and there are many manufacturers who are also trying to make online games, but the online games they make have a poor user retention rate on the first day. It doesn't matter how popular it was at first, it didn't take long for no one to play.

To put it bluntly, the problem in this, in fact, Chiba Games sees it very clearly, that is, they don't understand what an online game is. What is needed for online games.

They think that online games are just like those single-player games. However, even the online game is made into a stand-alone game that can be connected to the Internet. The existence of other players is of no use to them.

But that's not right. Since one person can play, why don't they play a single-player game. And, for a variety of reasons, the process won't be as moving as a masterpiece on a home machine. Everyone has seen delicious food, who will eat your garbage.

So, while watching the Chiba game flourish, they were secretly worrying about why they couldn't make a good game.

In fact, in the process of internal discussion, Chiba Games also had some discussions about some of the more vulgar things.

I don't think we should add these things, such as selling the world's loudspeakers. During the testing of the Chiba game, they found that in addition to the fact that this kind of speaker can sell things, the rest is almost scolding, scolding people in the air.

It's not just showing affection or something.

This kind of thing, it really looks a little vulgar. However, after discussion, it was decided that Stone Age, as a free-to-play online game, must have a profit point. It's not like console games, after charging once. The content can be pure.

After all, there is giving and taking, and there is existence and sacrifice.

At last. The Stone Age, which was born out of controversy, was thus launched.

And Lin Yan was just more attentive to this game during the production process, and after the production was completed, he seemed to forget about it and began to work on "Counter-Strike Online".

This is because "Stone Age" lacks an attractive core, although there is a ring battle every week.

The reason why fighting games are so popular is because it is a battle of wits between people. And although the ring of "Stone Age" also has a battle of wits and courage, it is not fierce and not flavorful now.

Lin Yan's mind for making "Counter-Strike Online" is extremely simple. It's about using competitions to promote.

Shooters are just as easy as fighting games to understand what this game is about. And Lin Yan has made so many improvements, all he has to do is to narrow the gap between the master and the low. In other words, a shooting game that can be played by monkeys. A shooting game that can be played even by handicapped.

As long as it's in colleges and universities now. Promote this game, and this game will definitely be popular. Of course, the type of player, just like fighting games, is dominated by male players.

It's rare to have a female player who will cherish it like a giant panda.

Of course, Lin Yan did not give up on the development of the female player market. He made such a game on a new generation of multimedia game consoles. It's called "Chiba Dog".

As the name suggests, it is a machine that simulates raising a dog. The dog needs to be fed daily. Take a bath every day and walk every day.

Speaking of which, this game is more like a high-quality upgrade of the original electronic pet machine.

The image is not the kind of rough particles, but just like a real dog.

There are many types of dogs, from the Shiba Inu, which is the largest in Japan, to the Alaskan Malamute of Erji, to the tiny Teacup Dog.

In short, each has its own cuteness, and each has its own cute point. Needless to say, female gamers will love this game.

Because, from the hot sales of furry toys, it is known that women are difficult to resist animals with furry limbs and short limbs.

And the closest animals to good humans are cats and dogs. As a result, there are all kinds of cat and dog powder. It can be said that the game "Chiba Dog" has not yet been released, and Chiba Games knows internally that this is a work that can boost the sales of new consoles.

In fact, every generation of console updates, Chiba games need this kind of game. The game is fun, the pull machine is hot, the machine is hot, and the third party looks profitable, so the game will be made on the new platform. Otherwise, it is possible to let them die on the old platform.

After all, entering a new platform means a new challenge. There is a lot of cost to pay. Therefore, for the sake of insurance, when the new console is listed, they will take a wait-and-see attitude.

Lin Yan doesn't pay much attention to this game, because the profits created by this game are actually so much. The life cycle of the game will not be strong either.

Besides, as a man, it's actually a bit difficult to engage in this kind of soft game.

Of course, many female players really eat Lin Yan's signboard, and they will play any game Lin Yan makes.

There is even an organization like the so-called "Lin Yan Support Group".

In addition, Lin Yan himself is still a little good-looking, so even if he changes careers to become a star, there will be people who will pursue him on purpose.

Of course, Lin Yan doesn't want to do things like stars. Living in the spotlight every day has too much inconvenience. And when the spotlight doesn't shine on you, it means that you are not red and you are out of breath. At this time, you have to do something to make everyone pay attention to you.

For example, scandals and the like, for the sake of so-called fame, always want to make headlines but can't get it, which is a very sad thing.

Of course, Lin Yan, who has incomplete tones, feels that there is actually no big problem with being a singer.

You must know that no matter how good a singer sings in the recording studio, it is not necessarily the real thing. Why many famous singers never hold live concerts is such a question.

Because, you can tune in the recording studio, but you can't do it on the spot. And this kind of thing is lip-synching, a little bit of exposure, it's a big deal.

Especially compared to Japan, which has zero tolerance for celebrities, as long as there is a little negative news, it can't stand it. The live concert lip-to-play was exposed, and it was simply the end of the rest of his career.

Therefore, if you really don't sing well, if you are really unsatisfactory, you won't have a solo concert. Of course, there are also real warriors who sing quite badly, but they go to a live concert.

After listening to the concert, many fans felt tired and didn't love it. Of course, there are also children who go to concerts and don't cry anymore.

Because, the ghost crying wolf howl is so shocking.

The debugging of Counter-Strike Online is progressing in an orderly manner. Low-latency technologies are also being developed.

Don't trust the player's tricks, as cheats are a big factor in ruining a game.

As long as there are loopholes to exploit, there will definitely be cheats. Therefore, it is a very unreliable thing to perform local computing on the client, so the Chiba game has to be quickly pressed with the server, which requires a lot of bandwidth and higher latency.

These are all things that technology can overcome, though. As long as you work hard, as long as you work hard, as long as you have enough human and financial resources, these things are not things.

In fact, there are many things in this world that can be accomplished as long as you concentrate your efforts. For example, how many years to extend the lifespan of all people in this world. Ninety percent of diseases can be treated and controlled.

It may sound like a fantasy, but with enough resources, these things can be solved in ten years.

However, what are the sufficient resources. The drug research and development industry is a gold-swallowing monster, and it is estimated that all the resources produced by mankind for decades will be invested in this field, so that there is only a little possibility.

But who would do that. Because, quite simply, there are too many industries in this world. Despite the enormity of the wealth created by human beings. However, it's like spreading a pie. To every part, it has been diluted, not much.

So, although it seems that the Arabian Nights is possible, it is still a fantasy after all.

It's like when there is no need, the so-called space program will hardly develop much. After the first time humans landed on the moon, they did not go up to the moon for the next few decades.

Therefore, some people wonder if the first trip to the moon is fake. And a lot of evidence was found. For example, there is no air on the moon, but why does the flag of the United States flutter in the wind?

In fact, all the problems in the world, in the final analysis, are about money.

The entire human world revolves around money.

Lin Yan sometimes wonders whether there is a need for an industry like the video game industry, which wastes money and wastes youth. (To be continued.) )
