"There is no standard answer to this question, and everyone can speak freely."

With Luo Bai's encouragement, many people gave their own answers.

"Games are the result of the wisdom and sweat of game developers."

"A game is a game."

"Games are a means for game developers to make a living."

“……”

The commotion of the audience gradually subsided under Luo Bai's signal, he looked around, and then gave his own answer:

"For me, a game is a commodity that can bring joy to players."

Almost everyone present captured the key words in Luo Bai's sentence just now:

"Bring joy to players" and "Merchandise".

Some agreed, others frowned.

Luo Bai didn't care what everyone present thought, he continued to say to himself:

"A game developer's job is to make a game, but the job itself is not a game.

It's one thing to make games as a hobby, but when it comes to cost, sales, manpower, and other factors, you can't help but think about how you can make the best-selling game at the lowest cost.

Because only by making money can game developers survive in this society and continue to produce new games.

There may be game developers in this world who don't even think about cost and sales, but there are very few of them. ”

For this, everyone in the audience nodded their heads.

Yes, no matter what wonderful ideas and brilliant ideas a game developer has in his head, as long as he can't output the idea as a product and sell it, the only way to wait for a game developer is to starve to death or change careers.

Therefore, surviving is the most important thing.

"I believe that many of the people present are more or less filled with a sense of superiority in their hearts.

But what I can tell you is that if I had been born ten years earlier, if my original heart had been born ten years earlier, I would have not hesitated to do mobile games.

Even if I had the idea of Ori in my head at the time, even if I knew that Ori would be as successful as I am today.

And this brings us to the second concept I'm going to talk about today, which is how we should approach the job of game development. ”

Speaking of the rise, Luo Bai only hated that there was no blackboard behind the conference room, but the emotions had already come up, and it was difficult to stop, so he could only continue:

"Ideally, all of us game developers would be free to make any game we want.

Because I read a certain story, because I suddenly have an idea in my head, because someone else said something unintentionally, etc.

can be the introduction to the birth of a game.

However, this is a prerequisite that does not take into account profitability.

And once we start thinking about making a profit, it means that you have to be cautious and ready to respond to demand, and a lot of game makers end up developing games that they don't like to play, and that's the way life is.

Taking the artist as an example, if the artist himself is a pure love warrior, but the company he works for is a game company that focuses on minotaur games as a selling point, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to enjoy his work.

But even so, work is work, you have to do it, and you should do it with your best effort. ”

Compared to the laughter of most of the people who heard Luo Bai's example, Mo Yun's face changed several times when he heard it below.

Finally, when Luo Bai finally finished this large paragraph, he raised his hand.

After Luo Bai nodded at him, he hurriedly asked:

"But Mr. Luo, if you repeat something you don't like every day, how can you guarantee that you can deal with it with a 200% attitude?

Under the premise that you can't guarantee your mood and what you like to make, how can you ensure that you can do your best to do it well? ”

If it was really as Luo Bai said, Mo Yun felt that there was no need for him to jump from Tianxing to his original heart.

When I was in Tianxing, I was doing some games I didn't like, if I still did games I didn't like after I came to the beginning, then what was the point of changing jobs?

Mo Yun was a little confused now.

"That's a good question." Luo Bai smiled and nodded at Mo Yun,

"Before answering your question, Mo Yun, do you know why I am in this business? Why should I make games? ”

"Because you like games?"

"It's just one aspect."

Luo Bai shook his head,

"The more important thing is that I'm good at making games, and I get a sense of joy and accomplishment from making games."

Like......

Excel......

Mo Yun felt that he had vaguely grasped something.

"Likes are just an emotion, and emotions are ephemeral.

When I was younger, I really liked to play games, and I remember when I was in high school, I liked to run to Internet cafes when I was on vacation.

I don't want to go back until it gets dark, until my family comes looking for me. ”

Luo Bai's eyes carried a little reminiscence.

And offstage, there are not a few resonators.

Who wasn't an internet addict in the first place?

"But as I got older, I went to college, I went into society.

I've found that my love for games is decreasing, and sometimes I just don't want to play games when everyone says they're fun.

I'd already bought the game and put it in my warehouse, but I'd rather put it there and eat dust than play it.

Can I say I don't like playing games? No, of course I still like to play games.

It's just that I can't get enough sense of accomplishment and fun from playing games like I did when I was a kid. ”

Mo Yun looked at Luo Baichen's earnest eyes, and he suddenly realized that he would have that day.

"Then why are there still people who are willing to play the game tirelessly?"

"Because...... They can also get enough sense of accomplishment and joy from playing the game. ”

Mo Yun muttered.

"Yes, if you like to play a game, you will hesitate when you encounter a type of game you don't like, a design idea that you don't like.

A qualified game developer needs to find content that can be fun and valuable in the development of the game.

Turn your love of making games into a good at making games. ”

Luo Bai smiled and looked at the audience,

"That's what I'm telling you.

It may be a disappointment for some, but I still have to say yes.

As the cradle of game developers, the core purpose of my ideal Chuxin Game Studio is to cultivate talents who can develop games that are loved by players according to the market, and make a profit from them, and continue to move towards a positive cycle.

And it is not arrogant to think that the idea in his head is an invincible good idea, but he lacks an opportunity.

IMHO, you can't talk about a good word without a market-tested idea.

In the game development process, we have to put our own preferences aside. ”

Many people in the audience blinked their eyes thoughtfully, and Mo Yun seemed to have bright eyes.

He knew he was in the right place!

"Mr. Luo, how did you find content that you can feel fun and value in the development process of the game?

Can you share this experience with us? ”

Pu Xingyu raised his right hand high, with an excited face.

Well? Good guy, let's do something, Pu.

Glancing at the system panel in the void, which no one could see except himself, Luo Bai hooked the corners of his mouth and said:

"It's hard for me to answer that question.

It's just that every time I like something, the majority of gamers like it. ”

The audience was silent.

This old thing! It's really good at pretending!

Wait, I'll blast your gold coins when I have the chance!

Pu Xingyu secretly slandered, and his teeth were about to be crushed.
