. Total "What is the game?" Many friends asked me this question, what did you say? This is a very simple meaning, but it is a bit complicated. In English, the game is usually used as a noun, and when it is used as a verb, it is often used. This is some players asked, if it is a game magazine or a game website, there will be a game of Game, and the game running under the early DOS, the execution file will appear Play.bat.
Now players often say "play games", generally refer to video games, which is running at home computer (PC), home video game consoles (what PS, SS, SFC, MD, 3DO, more goes) or Emotional Game Machine (Game Boy) and an electronic game program on arcade.
In fact, the history of the game's words is much more early than the video game program. In the article, Song, "Teaching War", Su Shi has the word "game of wine", which is intended to "play". In the video game program, the word has been widely used when there is people, like "Kindergarten Teacher: 'Children, today we come to do a game, good?'" Or "Let's do a small Small intelligence game? "
two. Source of the content of the video game program
Ok, let's talk, we have been around the history and usage of the word word, go back and talk about the video game program.
In fact, the original shape of various video game programs is the game we can see, and take a lot of players, the role playing games of the players, RPG, which is rpg, its prototype actually It is the role chess game in the 1970s.
Although this kind of chess is much easier than the video game program, it cannot be said to be the ancestor of the RPG game. The approximate gameplay is like this. Double or multiplayer games, depending on the game script, everyone can choose the role you like, such as knights, magicians, elves, etc. Specifies a special person to execute the game script, if you come to a cave, do we go in front of a cave? "By the player to choose" into "or" do not enter "; then there is a terrible Dragon, is we killed it or escape? "By the player to choose" kill "or" escape ". The game is also the concept of Level. The higher the level, the higher the ability, is of course higher. Different in the character occupation, the translational relationship between its level and capabilities, generally can be seen on the role chess game. From these, we are not difficult to see that it is very similar to the RPG video game program. In addition, this kind of chess also has a SAVE and load (LOAD) concept, and a game chess is often consumed to consume a lot of time, so the game rule sets the player who participates in the game, can be left, keep ourselves Occupation and level in order to continue using the next game, as long as it is the same game, the player can join any other player with any other players with any other game. At that time, there was such a dialogue, "Hi, I Im a cavalier, level is nine, and you?" (I am a knight, nine, you ??) "OH, I im black pentateuch, level is thirteen" I am a black magic master, thirteen. If these two players don't have physical props to supplement, I feel that this risk is difficult, they can also invite a game with a partner who has made a good gauge. According to the game script, the game has the final purpose and ending. Of course, if the game is improper, the role played by the game will die, then he has to withdraw from the game. But there are other ways to resurrect him, and the game is a game. Where did we say before introducing this role chess? Yes, the original shape of various video game programs is the game we can see. War chess SLG and Tab games don't have to say, and similar wars have not played, should you hear it? For example, a few years ago, "strong hands" game, is not the prototype of "Master" game?
There is also a part of the video game program that is not before the simulation in the game consoles, it is a game. Such as sports games, racing games and puzzle games. Is it a football, blue ball or other ball, there is a car, throw it into the electronic game ingredient, and then put the modern sports spirit, isn't it a game? The video game program only has played an electronic model to simulate a role in the premise of retaining its rules.
There are also many puzzle toys, games are like this, chess, military chess, Go, mahjong, Hua Long Road, Jiuyi ring, Russian square, black and white chess ... These games, when "transplant" is a video game program, some original seal Don't keep the rules, some have some changes or upgrades. From the variant of the Russian square, we can't see the flexibility and randomness of the video game program.
three. Game is a competition
In English Game and Play, there are all the meaning of the competition, and the fun of the game itself is in the competition. This is the case from sports projects and chess.
Sports: Whether it is the struggling of the players on the green field, it is also the fight on track and field, even if there is no Aoity, there is also a competition. It can be said that there is no sports in sports without competition.
Chess: The same, the spirit and material reward after the victory, and the intelligence opposite to the hand, it is the fun of the chess itself, this is the reason why no one is often with himself. After simulating these game rules into the video game program, in addition to retaining people with people's competition, the designers of the video game program also designed a single game for people who like to play, that is, competing with the computer itself. So the concept of AI is born. The so-called AI is an abbreviation of Artificial Intelligence. It is artificial intelligence, and an electronic program is used to simulate a series of thinking and judgment of people. It is often used in all kinds of video game programs, but the computer is a computer. It can do it, just "judgment: If ............ then use ............ If ............ , Then use ......................................................................
We are not difficult to think about, whether it is multi-person video game program (it is a competition of people), or single video game procedures (people compete with electronic AI or people are running in the rules of the game), from a certain angle It is a kind of intelligence competition.
I saw the conclusions I have, I have someone who is not convinced, is it a single game like "Xianjian Qi Chuan"? The answer is yes. For example, during the game, you can ask players to find some props to continue the process of the game, and this props is placed in a certain corner of the game designer, this is not your design A simple "Tibet" and "find" intellectual competition? (Oh, Of course, after you have finished playing a game, you can say "the pig's pig, really don't be smart," but don't forget, the game is to make you pass and make you feel a sense of accomplishment. Game designer can do the game you will always never want to pass, that is, anywhere in this game, there is no such props, then you should yell at him).
For example, the "剑 传" and the "Guaing King" battle, the ability value of "Guaing King" is directly paired by the designer, and the Li Xiaoyao you control is from the level, slowly cultivated . The battle between them is not the specific performance of your fighting between the designer?
four. Game is culture
If I said that the game is culture, there will be a lot of friends who don't understand the video game program, "video games? 唧 唧 完 完 打 打 打 打 打 打 打 打 打 打 打 打 打
In fact, the game also contains a rich cultural atmosphere. In the previous chapter, we know that the source of the game is basically in life, and a game is different from the other game, that is, the style of the game, these styles The culture of the game constitutes.
Whether it is a magic, the medieval style of the knight, or the fantastic future style, in the game, it follows a certain rule.
If you are interested, you can list all the games we have played one by one, classify from the style of style, so that several cultural circles of the game will be aerated.
At the day of the Street Fighter Wood, I have heard a few very little primary school students, and I am very exciting to discuss KIN, Run and Spring Li. Who are more powerful. In fact, although it is already an adult, it is time when it is a friend who is playing with the game. It is this kind of game culture, and I am working with those primary school students. (Laugh), then say that the two "Star" is fascinated, inevitably discuss the advantages and disadvantages of three races; two magic door heroes invincible masters meet, will also study, the rapid development of the racial development, related They are together, is the different culture of every game. Fives. Game is the manifestation of heroism
In this section, we talked about the sense of accomplishment of the game. The same reason, every player is in a play position when playing in the game. Whether it is a SLG that controls thousands of martial arts, still playing a generation of heroes RPG, then the racing, pilot, or restaurant, park, hospital operator, more or less to meet the hero of each player Miss fantasy.
The so-called heroism, we know, that is, human beings have the admire complex of heroes. The game can make all the people who make everyone become the hero of their worship. Whether it is a killer assassin, a big rich, a brave warrior, or even a god that is higher than humans, God can become the object being played.
Developers tried to meet the players' desires from different perspectives, hunters, ninja, submarine commanders, castle owners, even zombies, toys, chicks, cockroaches, are all displayed to playing it. .
This is indeed a very interesting thing, whether it is from the angle of the player or from the angle of the game producer. Everyone is undoubtedly a pleasure when trying to play the role that has never tried. Although this innovation and breakthrough has exceeded the category of heroism, it can also be understood.
Sometimes I am thinking, why can't I create a game from other perspectives?
"Space lost person": a powerful spacecraft because some reason lost in the outer space of the universe, they only look for the endless universe, by them have been many planets, these planets have a lot of strange things, such as time counterflow Space, such as you can eat your own creatures, as people's thinking is created in the universe ... This story will never be over, the lost person will be lost forever, waiting for them more stories.
"Revenge": The protagonist has been murdered, and his soul comes, the real sees a lot of things in the middle. With the help of the late friend, his soul returned to the world. He can do it, only a dream, night showing spirit, if you have a dead body, he can also brutally borrow your body. His purpose is to find out the true fierce of killing himself through listening to people's dialogue, so that they should have a report. Of course, you can also join some touching emotions. In general, there is a relatively good deeds.

six. The game is a mirror world
The world of the game can be both true history or reproduction of modern world, of course, can also be a space that never exists in fantasies. Whether it is the historical world of Tang Fengqi, or the magic and swords of the Chinese century world, or the bloody wind martial arts and lake, or a Chinese colorful Tiangong Government, or a planet in outer space space. It can be said that as long as you can imagine, you can do an element of the game world.
Time, space can be virtually and rebuild, fantasy, and the reality can also be unified in the game peace, this is the charm of the game world.
We will give an example, now you have to create a world that belongs to you, you can make time not uniform (蜉蝣 蜉蝣 一 人 人 人 人,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, In a space, there is a problem that can make the creatures in myths with the real life in your world, you can let the items that don't think about there is thinking, let the thoughts of creatures don't think about, completely Disrupt the inventory of the real world, now, future causal relationships, fully creating a fantasy creature in theory in theory. It's like writing myths or science fiction, I am afraid that I can't think of it. The novel is only built in the form of text, and the reader understands in an imagination. The game is in a strong intuitive way, through the screen, and the sound gives a world clearly presentation to the player. In addition, the player can know your world more step by step, control the role to a item, maybe he will speak; walk through the mirror smooth ground, perhaps the ground will fall; walk a seemingly ordinary Tree, maybe it will suddenly attack. This way of understanding the world and understanding the world is far more exciting than reading, more intuitive.
Seven. The game is a fantastic plot. In fact, a good game is designer, it is a writer (of course, is the famous or last flow, depending on the human text writing ability, there is a good writing is not good.). Let's talk about writers. The novel written by writers is not a bizarre plot, and each plot has its own characteristics. There is a simple and strange, and it is delicate. And the reason is more likely to change to the game, the reason is very simple, only the bizarre story, can be more than one wave in the game performance, and the excipient. So the game changed from the writing works, generally science fiction, martial arts, detective, and thrilling themes. The same reason, like the "Dream of Red Mansions", "Tea Female", has a large amount of inner departments and until the dialogue work, it is difficult to change the game. Of course, we also exclude some games as the main point with a delicate love story, but it is a few after all. So from the perspective of game plot design, science fiction, martial arts, detective, thrilling, while the game's plot is more striped than novels in order to meet players. This is also the difficulty of game design. Of course, there are individual game designers to pursue this song of the game, and add a lot of plots of snakes, which makes the game quality discount from the whole. For example: The protagonist is to listen to the girlfriend, so he goes to the friend's friend. It is not at home, and his friend's mother told the protagonist. She went to the company. The company got to the female friend friend did not let the door, the reason is her Not the company, so he has to go to the company's supervisor gift. However, because of the drink, he is still asleep because he is drinking at the head of the day, so I went to the store to buy wake up. The biaser is sold out, so I will go to the manufacturer, but the manufacturer answers the lack of raw materials ... The plot of such dogs, can increase in unlimited, and this will make the player very troublesome. The good plot is not a feeling of moving the plot, but there must be the feeling of "Mountain Poor Water Doubuilding, Liu Decorative Ming and a Village", and the fantasy plot will be the pen to make the game that is unforgettable.
