Lin Yan is not so fond of joining in the fun, but although he doesn't like to join in the fun, he can't hold back the burning curiosity in his chest.

He apologized as he squeezed into the crowd and saw that the protagonist was an arcade machine. The shape of this arcade machine doesn't look much different from other arcade machines. Now there are special factories that produce universal arcade shells, and even universal arcade substrates, and those who make games only need to make games. This trend of platformization is, of course, making it easier and easier for game developers. You don't have to be like Lin Yan at the beginning, if you want to build an arcade machine, you have to start from scratch.

Since the appearance of the class is not the focus of attraction, the attraction should naturally be the content of the arcade. Lin Yan's eyesight is good, although it is still far away, he can still see clearly what kind of game is on that machine.

Huh? It's "Bird Knight". Lin Yan could see the name of this game at a glance, and he had countless games in his mind, although he was not necessarily proficient in all of them, but he knew them. Because the job he did later was game planning. And as an ordinary mobile game planner in the first half of the 21st century. Lin Yan, like many of his peers, draws inspiration from ancient games.

Of course, this is the case, but no one says this, they all say that they are innovative. He participated in the production of "Everyday Run", a popular game with social elements, in fact, the original planning inspiration came from "Super Mario".

Even if he draws on the advanced experience of foreign countries, he has focused on analyzing "Temple Run", and I heard that the original inspiration came from "Penguin Adventure". It's now on the game watch, a game that sells quite hot.

Of course, this can't be said to be plagiarism, in addition to borrowing from the core gameplay is more convenient, there is probably the feelings of these game designers.

Feelings are really not a bad thing, although later a fat man surnamed Luo made the word like a curse.

You have a lot of feelings for this product! Your whole family is full of feelings!

Lin Yan glanced at the person playing the game again, and found that it was a figure he was familiar with. It's the long hair that likes to carry a notebook when playing games.

"Hey! You're here too, where is your being? Lin Yan asked as he left the arcade when the long-haired young man died.

"Ontology? What ontology? The long hair was stunned by Lin Yan's brainless questioning, he didn't know what the body was.

"Ahh That's nothing, I mean your notebook? Lin Yan suddenly realized that the word "ontology" was a bit ahead of this era, and now was not the era when he saw an animated character without glasses and excitedly said, "Glasses are the body". Times are always evolving, and the world has come to that day.

When Lin Yan was feeling nostalgic here, his long hair had already come back to his senses, and he knew that Lin Yan was joking, saying that his notebook, which had been inseparable all day long, was his own body.

Such a harmless joke, in fact, if you think about it carefully, it will still make people smile.

"The ontology is in the company, I didn't come out today to play games, I didn't bring it, I came out today to show our products." Long Hair stood aside, and after giving up the position of the arcade, he said to Lin Yan.

"Your products?" Lin Yan quickly set his sights on the arcade machine of "Bird Rider", and estimated that the product he said was this machine. "The game is very good, it's fun, and it's going to be very popular and sell a lot of units."

"Thank you, I also think that our arcade machine is doing a good job and can achieve good results." The long hair is not modest, and he is very honest and proud.

Yes, it's definitely a source of pride and fulfillment to be part of designing a game yourself.

"Is he?" Long hair and Lin Yan talked for a short time, and the bald head asked Long Hair.

"An arcade player, playing games is particularly powerful, and he holds the record of all the games in that arcade hall." Long Hair responded.

"So powerful? Wait a minute...... He's not going to be the 'Eluke'. The bald head suddenly remembered the top ten rankings of popular games published in "Game Pass", and the name of "Ailu" was hanging high at the top of each list.

Long Hair nodded and said, "That's right, it's him." At the beginning, I didn't think he was very good, but when you really see him playing, you will understand that he is deliberately hiding his strength and not doing his best. ”

"You can't be number one without doing your best?" The bald head asked in disbelief. This seems a bit strange to him, because video games are actually quite similar to sports. Everyone is working hard, and if you don't work hard and don't do your best, it will be impossible to achieve good results.

Just like how many middle school students struggled in Koshien, how many players who later advanced to the profession were just because they worked too hard during the Koshien period. The body has received irreparable damage, which has a very bad impact on the future career path.

Like the athletes in Koshien, the whole of Japan has worked hard to achieve what it is today. This has enabled Japan to stand firmly among the nations of the world. Perhaps, for the older generation, there is not so much recognition of Japan as a country. But for people of Hayashi's age now, they have just experienced the decade of Japan's rise, everything is getting better, and their sense of national identity and national pride is unparalleled.

Because of so many factors, in the bald head's view, it is a very incredible thing that Lin Yan achieved the highest fame without doing his best.

Video game leaderboards, this stuff they've also studied. It was found that this is something that encourages players to spend continuously. Because everyone is competitive, and playing video games certainly goes the same way. No one will feel inferior to anyone. And the leaderboard is a thing that can just inspire the competitiveness of those who want to achieve good results, try again and again, generalize, sum up experience, and finally get a place on the leaderboard.

As an analytical talent, the bald head was the most surprised when he analyzed all the arcade machines on the market, only "Space Invaders", which appeared first.

Because, originally as a pioneering work, "Space Invaders" can be understood and tolerated even if there are various problems. After all, nothing is perfect from birth. Even if it's like a piano, isn't it just that the feather piano has been perfected little by little to become the current king of musical instruments.

However, "Space Invaders", which is a groundbreaking work, does not seem so ordinary. It has many advanced systems, such as the Player Leaderboard, which is one of the many advanced ones. Moreover, both in terms of the gaming experience and the feeling of the entire arcade frame, it makes people feel that this is a product that is not too much to be faulted with. It's just perfect not like the first arcade machine, it's more like an arcade machine that has been summarized by summarizing the experience of its predecessors.

It's like the "Bird Knight" in front of you. Bald Toshiyuki Takahashi after summarizing most of the arcade machines on the market. I found that there are too many games in the shooting and maze escape genres, almost to the extent of flooding. And getting acquainted with action-adventure games like "Donkey Kong" is still a very scarce appearance. And there is no other video game that can be played in two-player co-op except "Tank Wars". Although he saw that the first arcade machine "Space Invaders" also seemed to have a two-player opening, he didn't know why it wasn't opened.

"Space Invaders" did not open a two-player mode, Lin Yan thought about it carefully, although at first he felt that it was a good choice to open the two-player mode. However, after his observation, he found that after turning on the two-player mode. Levels that originally seemed difficult will be greatly reduced in difficulty. The end result is an increase in players' unit of playtime, which reduces arcade revenue. After weighing the pros and cons, he gave up on the idea of turning on the two-player mode.

However, in "Bomberman", he wanted to develop a two-player mode. Because, the gameplay of this game, the two-player mode, is far more interesting than the single-player game. There were even two online games as proof later, one was "Bubble Hall" produced by a Korean game company, and the other was "Qiu Qiu Tang" produced by China Goose Factory. Lin Yan wouldn't say that when he first heard "Qiuqiutang", he didn't associate the name with the game, but thought of fruit gummies.

The bald head and the long hair exchanged ears for a while, only to realize that the person they were discussing was still in front of them. This made the two of them feel a little embarrassed. Because, they could see that Lin Yan was not a blind man, and in front of a person who was neither blind nor deaf, it was definitely a very impolite behavior to discuss him like this.

"How did you play the arcade game? Would you like to try this game of ours? The bald head asked Lin Yan, he was very enthusiastic, and seemed to be delaying the embarrassment just now.

Lin Yan said modestly, "I play averagely, and this one next to you is the master of playing games." I was just a fluke. Do you specialize in designing video games? ”

"Well, a couple of us are video game lovers. I happened to be young, so I entered the video game industry and tried it, and it was nothing if I failed, I was still young. "The bald head looks very optimistic, very lively, and seems to be a very good person.

Miserable and miserable relatives are a day, and happiness is also a day, so why not live happily every day. Even if you are not happy today or are not happy now, you can laugh again later. Life, in fact, is just like that, and the smile is over.

Lin Yan inexplicably came up with a life insight, he looked at the bald head wearing a peaked cap, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt. However, it seems that this kind of familiarity is not the familiarity of "this life". This kind of familiarity has a very distant feeling.

"What's your name?" Lin Yan asked.

"Toshiyuki Takahashi, what's wrong?" The bald game replied inexplicably. It's not wrong to ask someone's name, but it's really not a lot like Lin Yan asking so suddenly.

Toshiyuki Takahashi, Toshiyuki Takahashi...... Lin Yan repeated the name in his mind, with a little impression, but not particularly clearly.

Wait a minute...... Pregnant!

Lin Yan remembered who the owner of the name was. If it's Toshiyuki Takahashi, maybe many people are not familiar with this name. But when it comes to "Takahashi celebrities", many people will know about it.

Even if you don't know him, you've basically played a game on your console called "Takahashi Celebrity Adventure Island".

MapleStory is a high-quality side-scrolling game, and his planner happens to be Toshiyuki Takahashi. As a game producer, the reason why he can name a game is not because of how powerful his game planning is. Even if he is powerful, he can't be as powerful as Shigeru Miyamoto, then Shigeru Miyamoto didn't use his own name, titled "Donkey Kong of "Shigeru Miyamoto", "Little King Kong of "Shigeru Miyamoto", "Super Mario Bros of Shigeru Miyamoto", so why Toshiyuki Takahashi.

He can, and for good reason, because he's not just a game planner, he's a well-known gamer. Or a star player, his famous stunt is the speed of the right hand combo button. It is said that there is a terrifying speed of "sixteen beats per second".

And his game company will naturally use his explosive popularity among players to name a game. In fact, there was already a version of that game before the Takahashi celebrity title version was launched. However, although the game was still quite fun, it didn't have that big gimmicks, and the sales weren't too good.

Later, the main character was replaced with a Takahashi celebrity with a hat, and the arcade machine equipped with this game sold very well. Later, it was also transplanted to home game consoles. Later, "MapleStory II", "MapleStory III", and finally "MapleStory IV" were launched.

Lin Yan's feeling now is very subtle, he feels as if he is living in history, seeing a game developer who has gone down in the history of video games. Of course, he didn't worship Takahashi much, but this experience was also very novel.

He went up and grabbed Takahashi Toshiyuki's right hand, which was comparable to Taka Kato, shook it several times and said, "Your future wife will definitely be very happy." ”

Bah!

Again, it's wrong.

Lin Yan said again, "You will definitely make more fun games in the future, and you ......"

Lin Yan pointed to his long hair and said, "You will be crowned king and become the overlord of the game." (To be continued.) )
