Chapter 176: Prospects for the Development of the Game Industry
"Actually, I personally have a question for Mr. Liu, according to the general opinion, in fact, Mr. Liu is already a successful person. In the game industry, in fact, I am also a player, I just want to ask, Mr. Liu, for the future development of the game industry, what do you think games will become in the future? Huang Huizhong did not continue to dwell on the question just now, but asked a rather strange question.
Liu Neng sighed, "Little girl, this question is too big, it's really hard to answer." I'm trying to use my perception to briefly state what I think, and if there's something not quite right, I hope you need to mind. ”
"For me personally, gaming is a belief in life, and it may be a bit of a big word to use, but it's true that I think so at this age, at this point in time. The game itself is a narrative, an expression. In this regard, in fact, I haven't done well enough in the last year or two, and I have paid too much attention to the form of the game and forgot about the theme of the game. In the past year or so, I am more satisfied with the works, in fact, there are only two games, "Spore" and "Three Kingdoms", and it has been proved that players will like games that are well expressed. ”
"It's not easy to say or do it."
"There are many game manufacturers in Huaxia, and they also make hundreds or even thousands of games every year, but in the past few years, they have been relatively low-end. It seems that they don't know that the game is supposed to convey a theme, and that theme, whether it's friendship, love, peace, or something like that, needs to have a theme. This theme should be a little more philosophical, but in my opinion, there are very few domestic games in the past that can really do this. So our game, many times it doesn't make sense that it can't compete with foreigners. ”
"Personally, I think that's the most important point of making games. Otherwise, it is only a matter of focusing on the form, and the game is empty, and it is difficult for players to achieve a sense of immersion. You've played Three Kingdoms, even if it's a card game, when you actually play it, you feel completely immersed in it, that's the immersion. For example, "Three Kingdoms", this game, is also the theme of the Three Kingdoms, although I also made it, but I personally think that it is not so successful, when playing this game, I know for sure that I am playing a game, it is just a game. ”
"In addition, the development of games is inseparable from the advancement of technology. At first, the game appeared, like Tetris, and later there were some pick-ups; Then online games appeared, at first they were just text web games, and then pictures, pictures, and so on. We are now more and more demanding for game graphics, and I think this is of course a good thing, after all, good graphics, very exquisite, the player's sense of immersion will naturally be strong, which is complementary to each other. As for the future, the development direction of games, I would like to give you some personal opinions, as I just mentioned, mobile games will gradually become one of the mainstream game categories after the emergence of smart devices; But terminal games will still occupy half of the country. Some new technologies will continue to develop, and in the distant future, I am afraid that virtual reality and augmented reality will appear, and the form of games will definitely change a lot at that time. As far as I know, Japan is studying somatosensory games, which is naturally a direction for the development of games in the future. But I personally think that virtual reality and augmented reality will become the mainstream in the future, but it may be more than ten or even twenty or thirty years later. ”
"As for the holographic technology in many novels, the consciousness extraction technology, I personally think that it is too science fiction and will not be possible in a hundred years. As for whether the future is possible, who knows? I'll be dead by then, anyway. ”
"To sum up, technology will always improve, and when technology appears, it will stimulate the emergence and prosperity of a number of new games; But in the end, it still has to fall on the game itself, the quality of the game, the theme of the game, the content of the game, these are the essence of the game, technology is only an auxiliary means, and the content is the foundation in order to gain an invincible position. ”
Huang Huizhong listened with relish, looked at the question draft in his hand, and said helplessly, "It seems that the questions I want to ask have been asked, does Mr. Liu have anything else to say to the majority of players?" ”
Liu Neng waved his hand, "Players don't have anything to say, anyway, thank you for liking our game, and we will do our best to make the most fun game for everyone to experience." But there are some things I want to say to my friends.,A lot of things are bright.,I know you're doing some small actions.,But the quality of the game made by the sprinkler family is here.,Really have the ability.,We face the gong and the drum in the ring.,Don't make small moves.,If you have the ability, you also export the game overseas? ”
"This ......" Huang hesitated a little, "It's okay to write it so directly?" ”
"You can decide for yourself, write if you want to write, and pull down if you don't want to write." looked at his watch, "There's no time, let's stop the interview, I'm going to go out for a walk, see if other companies exhibit games, if there are any points that can be plagiarized." ”
"This ......," Huang Huizhong was confused, "are you joking?" ”
"Just kidding." Liu Neng laughed, waved his hand to say goodbye to Huang Huizhong, and then walked out from the backstage to see the exhibition.
The exhibition is still very lively, there are more than 3,000 players and spectators who are eligible to participate in the vote, and the people who come to the entire exhibition, I am afraid that there are five or six thousand people, bustling and rubbing shoulders.
He slipped around casually, and accidentally arrived in front of the booth of Colorful Technology, and saw his old acquaintance Wang Juncai. When acquaintances meet, it's extremely embarrassing.
Wang Juncai is still working as a producer in Colorful Technology, but he was high-spirited before, and now he is a project manager, and he has no decision-making power in many things. On the other hand, Liu Neng has more than a dozen game projects in his hands, and he can be described as high-spirited in the game industry. In more than a year, it has become what it is now, which is embarrassing.
Wang Juncai also saw Liu Neng, and his heart suddenly became unhappy. He remembered that when that hairy boy was still under his hands, if he could have been a little more fair and just, maybe things would not have evolved into what they are now. Why did you listen to Sun Liang's blind promise at the beginning and give up this promising implementation plan?
Some time ago, Wang Juncai was still studying Liu Neng's "Three Kingdoms", which is also an SLG game, why can he make a completely different feeling. Before that, he even thought that web SLG games should be done according to their own set of models, which is great and has some fine-tuning; But "Three Kingdoms" gave him the feeling that he was starting anew, completely without those "effective" gameplay modes, and it was an unprecedented success.
In the current SLG web game market, "Three Kingdoms" can be said to be outstanding, and those old, old-fashioned SLG web games have completely run out of inventory......
