Chapter 30 Lectures
Although electronic games are very popular, electronic games have not been popular for a long time. Therefore, the experience of specializing in electronic games or electronic games in the industry is not very rich.
Moreover, because it is very easy to make money in the electronic game industry now, most of the first-line game makers are in game production companies, not on campus.
Therefore, although this well-known school has a major in electronic games, none of the teachers who teach have produced best-selling electronic games.
Most of them are teachers who have been transferred from other majors in the computer department. Although they talk about electronic games, they don’t know much about electronic games and look down on them.
This is the case with the introduction to the usual electronic game. Professors who only know how to read the textbooks ten times.
In addition, the exam scope of this class is very large and the exam is very difficult. Although everyone doesn’t like this class and doesn’t want to attend it, they have to come for their usual grades and test scores.
Fortunately, the professor who taught the lecture was sick, so no one had to listen to his nagging anymore.
But when everyone thought this class was self-study, a person suddenly appeared on the podium. He was dressed like a teacher from the 19th century, with a strange beard, and looked very funny.
Seeing him like this, the students in the audience began to despair.
Who can expect a guy who looks old-fashioned in this way to understand video games?
Sure enough, the guy standing on the stage actually asked, "What kind of class is this?"
Standing on the podium, Takahashi found himself being taken to the real class. He was a little panicked at the beginning, but he calmed down in a flash.
As a host of the event with tens of thousands of people and millions of viewers watching and broadcasting, Takahashi's psychological quality is actually quite strong.
Takahashi thinks this may be a joke made by the seniors to him, and want to test whether his acting skills are really passing. If the students below don’t think there is anything abnormal, then the role he plays has been very successful.
"What kind of class is this?" Takahashi asked.
There were at least one hundred students below, and none of them answered. The classmate who took him to come, didn't know where he went.
"You answer!" Takahashi said casually, pointing to someone.
"Introduction to Electronic Games!" said the unlucky guy who was called up.
"Okay! Introduction to Electronic Games!" Takahashi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the name of this course. Although he is not a researcher in electronic games, he still has some experience in the production of electronic games. Perhaps there are differences in philosophy from other excellent game makers, but teaching students is enough.
"Please sit!" Takahashi said in his trained voice.
Then he asked, “Where did you go in the last class?”
This time, a student stood up and said, "Sir, it's the page 203!"
Takahashi pretended to look at his script, and the total number of pages of the script was less than 203. Even if he had one, he could not read the script.
So he closed the script in his hand and slapped it on the table, saying, "Put your books together! I don't care what your previous teachers said, but in my class, we don't need to read the textbook!"
Takahashi's appearance looks a bit different from his old-fashioned appearance.
However, the students do not like old pedantics, so they find this teacher a bit novel about the teacher's behavior of breaking the rules.
Those guys who buried their heads in the book and didn't want to look at the teacher at all were finally willing to pull their heads up.
Takahashi looked at them and asked, "What do you think video games are?"
"You stand up and answer!"
The unlucky child stood up and thought for a while and said, "I think electronic games are games that people play with electronic devices!"
"Very good!" Takahashi said to the classmate who had no explanation, "What do you think the game is?"
"I think..." He was still thinking, and the classmate next to him pulled his sleeve. He looked down at the book and said, "Games are a human instinct, part of human learning. Games are a function of training and imitation. Not only humans, but many animals also have game instincts. For example, the game where a kitten grabs the cat's mother's tail is actually a mouse-catching exercise."
"The answer is good! But I want you to close the books! Do you really think that's it?"
Takahashi glared at the owner of the book and continued to ask.
"I think..." This unlucky child, without the assistance of textbooks, never thought about what the game was, of course he didn't know.
"Sit." Takahashi did not make things difficult for the student.
What is a game?
For this question, let alone these students in school, even the vast majority of practitioners do not know what the game is.
And that small group of people who feel that they understand what the game is, have a variety of understandings about the game.
The differences in concepts are ultimately reflected in the differences in the game.
For students who have never really only played games and are still in the stage of talking on paper, Takahashi's problem is actually making things difficult for others.
However, Takahashi was not trying to make things difficult for these students. He said, "It means that everyone is more or less interested in electronic games. You might as well think slowly, what are electronic games?
Perhaps one day everyone will understand this problem and achieve something in electronic games.
Of course! I don’t recommend everyone to dream of it. I suggest everyone to make some small games when they are fine.
During the process, don’t think too much, and make a summary after doing it.
Summarize the game I made and see if you can find the answer in the game.
Practice to produce true knowledge, everyone should remember it.
OK, I heard that many people have made video games privately. Have you ever encountered any problems? I think I can give you some advice!
I think you can read less of the textbooks you have written by unknown people!”
The students in the audience were surprised to hear Takahashi's words.
However, everyone is trying to make electronic games privately. On the one hand, they like electronic games, but on the other hand, there are too many people who get rich overnight because of making electronic games.
Whether students who make games with that kind of mood, they actually encounter many problems in the process of making games.
