Some people say that this book is for Xiaobai, and it is suitable for reading without thinking. Let's put it this way, my setting is very rigorous, but you don't understand it.
There are only two unreasonable places in this book. The first is why the protagonist travels through time, and the second is why the technological explosion occurred in this world. But these two points are the basic setting of this book, which web article does not have a golden finger? Apart from these two points, the world view of this book is logically self-consistent.
Regarding the game field of this world, I didn't say much in the first few chapters, because the content of the first three chapters is very precious, and I can't spend 1,500 words on the world background.
To put it simply, this world is roughly equivalent to the real world in 2000. What were the popular games at that time, such as Legend of Sword and Fairy, Red Police, and Stone Age.
Of course, I don't mention the year, mainly because I don't want everyone to have a feeling of time travel.
If a technological explosion occurs at this time, and scientists tell you that we can make VR games, what is your first reaction? It must be to make a vr version of Legend of Sword and Fairy, instead of slapping your head and saying that we should make League of Legends.
Technology and ideas will not advance at the same time, and there is no necessary connection between them.
All game concept development has a process, and there has never been any game that can be completed in one step. Just like eating chicken, this mode is not difficult to make, but there are so many high-quality fps games before it, and there is no such mode, because the concept has not appeared.
The time that the protagonist travels is roughly within 3 to 5 years after the technological explosion. Although the game industry has developed rapidly, the concept is far from reaching the level of our real world. It can be said that the game industry at this time is a false prosperity.
At the same time, VR is not just a game, it is also a very practical technology. For example, soldiers can train in VR.
Therefore, if VR technology appears in the parallel world, it will definitely be vigorously supported, and designers, as the people who create the VR world, their status will naturally rise.
Just as the Internet is on fire, the salaries of product managers and programmers are also rising.
Therefore, technological progress, backward ideas, and high status of designers are not contradictory in the context of this world.
The so-called backward concept is equivalent to using our 2017 standard to demand designers in 2004. It is normal to be backward in concept, and it will be a ghost if it is not backward.
The second question is why the development of PCs and mobile phones is slow, and VR has not yet crushed PCs and mobile phones.
I have explained this issue in chapters 95 and 96. Simply put, because of the industry’s strong support for VR, many powerful designers have gathered in the VR field, so the development of PC and mobile games is relatively slow.
However, due to technical reasons, the development cost of VR games is high, and the cost of games is high, so it is impossible to be as popular as PCs, which are enjoyed by the rich.
In other words, vr games are high-end games in this world, with the most concentrated talents, but because of the difficulty of popularization, they have not achieved a dominant position.
The third question is why mini games are still popular with VR.
"Lifeline" became popular in 2015. At that time, players had already played countless classic masterpieces. Why is it still popular
Now there are many simple but creative indie games on steam, why are they still alive
According to some people, after playing vr games, everyone must not be interested in any small games, is that true? of course not.
For games, the most important thing is the core gameplay, not the skin. Of course, the skin is important, but it's not the whole story.
Of course, all of the above, you can say that this is lowering the IQ of a world.
Yeah, that's it, what do you think
I'm just lowering the IQ of this world, otherwise
Have you ever seen Wen Chaogong travel to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to copy poems
If the level of this world is much higher than the real world, why don't you go through it
If the game design concept of the parallel world surpasses ours, it would be nonsense to beat local designers through the past.
The purpose of this book is twofold, one is to let readers experience the fun of designing games, and the other is to bring you back to those classic games.
This book does not popularize the history of game development, and I don't want to arrange thirty anonymous programmers for the protagonist. Programmers are important in reality, but not in this story.
This book is an online article. On the premise of self-consistent logic, it is for readers to enjoy reading it, changing some realistic settings, and sacrificing some rationality, all in order to make this story better.
Even the theme of Wen Chao Gong has to be sprayed. I really want to ask, is this the first time you read a book of Wen Chao Gong type
Also, if you see a monthly turnover of 2 billion, you will say that I have no idea about numbers. Do you know that the daily turnover of the King of Glory is 100 million
Indeed, there are quite a few bigwigs in the game industry who can beat me up, but I am an industry insider after all, and I can't make mistakes on common sense issues.
Before spraying, please, please think about it first, okay
If you like this subject, don't pay too much attention to those bad-mouthing remarks, this book will not let you down.
