Rebirth 86: I use games to kick open the door to the world

This classmate obviously does not understand the meaning of Fire Emblem itself.

He just wanted to play it immediately because he heard that Zuo Zhen was going to make a new game, and it was completely different from the previous horizontal version.

Of course, at the same time, he also wanted to learn about game development.

Because he thinks this is much more interesting than the boring programming he is learning now.

"What kind of game is this?"

"It's like playing chess."

"Playing chess?" This classmate was a little disappointed.

"Can't I just go and play chess with someone else?"

Fire Emblem, the name sounds very domineering, but why does it sound like a game like chess?

At this moment, the only chess games he could imagine in his mind were the most traditional Go and chess.

Zuo Zhen laughed and said: "Of course it can't be that simple. This is a video game after all, so it must be more special than just playing chess."

"Really? Can you tell me more about it?"

"First of all, do you know the origin of the story of chess?"

"The source of the story? Are you talking about the Chu River and Han Dynasties? It should be the struggle between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, right?"

"Yes, but through chess alone, can you understand more of the detailed story in chess?"

"This is definitely not possible. Isn't the purpose of chess simply to win? Who cares what the story is? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?" the classmate replied without thinking.

"Yes, chess has no story, and my Fire Emblem is a chess with a story."

"Uh...what's the point of that?"

"Don't worry, this is just one of them. In addition, what if each chess piece has its own characteristics, and each chess piece has its own story, and each chess piece can also grow?"

"Growth? How to grow?"

After Zuo Zhen said these words, he had already begun to touch upon the knowledge blind spots of this classmate.

"It's very simple. This requires the use of computer programming. I can set a value for each character. When they kill enough enemies or complete certain tasks, they will be improved, and then gradually Become stronger."

This classmate scratched his head a little after hearing this.

"What happens after you become stronger?"

"Some enemies are impossible to defeat at the beginning, and if you want to defeat them, you must first make your pieces stronger, or use more sophisticated chess-playing skills."

This classmate carefully imagined such a scene in his mind.

A bunch of chess pieces move around the screen.

And each chess piece has its own abilities.

"These chess pieces will have their own turns. In their own turns, these chess pieces can perform various actions, such as attacking, defending, destroying, protecting, escaping, etc. In chess, the chess pieces can only choose to eat the enemy, or Either being eaten by the enemy or escaping, do you think Fire Emblem is interesting?"

"It seems... it's getting a little interesting."

Gradually, the prototype of a game was gradually taking shape in the mind of this classmate.

Chess pieces with various images perform their own duties. They all have their own abilities and have different levels.

All he has to do is manipulate these chess pieces to meet each powerful enemy.

"The threat posed by the enemy is not fixed, and it is not like chess. Chess is basically fair for both parties, but the game will definitely not be so fair, and what players have to do is to defeat strong enemies under unfair circumstances. , just like games like Contra and Squirrel Wars, you have to defeat so many enemies with your own fragile character."

"Wow, it seems to have suddenly become interesting."

"Yeah, are you interested in taking part in this job?"

"Okay, I'm not satisfied with my studies anyway. Teacher Zhan Weishan has told us that we should learn more from you, so there should be no difference between learning programming and learning to make games."

"Okay, let me test your programming ability later. If you meet the standards, you can become employee number three."

"Employees? This is not learning and helping, but working?" the classmate asked with a wink.

"Of course, otherwise what do you think? Video games are an industry. Since it is an industry, it must also be a job."

"But...but I still think that I can enter the Computer Research Institute in the future..."

As soon as he heard that he was going to be an employee, he immediately gave up.

Zuo Zhen showed a clear look: "It seems that you still don't trust video games. Do you think this job will be unstable?"

"Um... more or less." What this classmate was thinking was that he was really worried about the instability of this job.

At present, the iron rice bowl is still the most popular industry.

Whether you are an industrial worker, an administrative clerk, or a salesperson in a department store or supermarket, you all have a bright future.

This is unanimous consensus.

And these positions are real job opportunities.

If you have an iron rice bowl, you can sit back and relax in this life.

Zuo Zhen naturally knew what he was thinking in his heart.

If he lived in this world, he would probably pursue the iron rice bowl like most people.

However, he knows that the world will develop in the future, and the individual economy will gradually replace the big pot environment.

Sooner or later, the iron rice bowl will no longer be strong.

But not many people believe this now.

Zuo Zhen just nodded at the other party's answer: "It doesn't matter. You have to make your own decision on this kind of thing. I can't decide your future at will."

"I'm sorry, Zuo Zhen, I really don't want to disappoint you, I just have a little..." The classmate hesitated to speak.

He is still really interested in video games.

But he still has worries if he really wants to engage in this industry.

The current development is still unclear, and he always feels that this kind of thing is not reliable.

Zuo Zhen shook his head: "You don't need to apologize. I haven't lost anything, but you may have to lose a hundred yuan a month in salary."

classmate:? ? ?

What did you just hear?

A salary of one hundred yuan a month?

Zuo Zhen will give himself a salary of one hundred yuan a month?

this……

"Well, Zuo Zhen-san, the salary of one hundred yuan a month you just mentioned...is it the salary for playing games?"

Zuo Zhen nodded: "Yes, it's the salary for playing games. Yu Mengchen's current salary is this."

At this moment, the wages of most industrial workers are still around thirty to fifty.

People with higher levels can still get a hundred yuan, which is amazing.

But when Zuo Zhen came here, he could earn a hundred yuan a month by playing games. Even though this classmate was worried about the future of the game industry, he was really moved.

Are you not dreaming?

And Zuo Zhen is not fooling him, right?
