===534 The world needs more indie games===(None Edited)

  When I was a child, I ran in the farmland, watching small insects churning in the fields. Occasionally, there would be some squirrels or birds, these bad guys steal the crops in the farmland to eat.

  In the more than ten years of working in the city, Chiaki Suzuki has almost forgotten the feeling of being in his hometown.

  And this game allowed him to rediscover the beauty of his childhood.

  He really liked this game very much, even though it looked so mediocre and the picture quality was a little bad, but this game made him regain his original intention.

  There are many people who have similar feelings to Suzuki Chiaki, and they all like the warm feeling of Stardew Valley very much.

  Several people even got up the courage to return to their hometowns after playing the game.

  A game made by one person, sold 50,000, and the average selling price was 1,700 yen.

  Battle.net also just took this opportunity to publicize its own sharing clause.

  Game developers get a 70 percent share of game revenue.

  At the same time, Battle.net also added a special label to Stardew Valley: indie games.

  The term indie game is easy to understand. Just like independent movies in the film and television industry, they are all works created by one or very few people at very low cost.

  Indie movies are very mature in the film industry, but video games have hardly been tried before.

  Most people subconsciously define video games as high-investment products.

  Perhaps it is because the programming, painting, music, and level design of video games are very specialized, which makes most people shy away from these complex jobs. In addition, the recent trend of video games is toward large investment. , only a few casual games of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment can capture some players outside the game, but no one can see the potential of casual games now, and more people still pay attention to games with high investment.

  Under such circumstances, no one expected that a little dark horse would suddenly appear.

  The sales of 50,000 games is really nothing for a big company, but it seems to have opened a whole new door for some game developers who are in a period of confusion.

  Stardew Valley's graphics weren't great, but even that was a small success.

  Professional developers can quickly confirm that the development of Stardew Valley is not difficult in all aspects, and the only thing missing is that one idea.

  And if there is really enough creativity, then the level of picture quality does not seem to be so necessary, and high investment is naturally even less necessary.

  This has allowed many confused game developers to find a new direction.

  It turns out that it's not just big productions that succeed.

  Look, Stardew Valley is only created by one person, and it is not difficult to reproduce the gameplay and picture quality of Stardew Valley.

  Such a game can sell 50,000 copies, and the money in hand is almost 50 million yen.

  That's almost five years' income for senior white-collar workers.

  The eyes of the confused game developers were red.

  And the sales of Stardew Valley have not stopped, and the game is still increasing in sales, which means that the developers of this game can continue to earn revenue from the game.

  This is simply a role model in their minds!

  For a while, Stardew Valley was not only circulating in the circle of game lovers, but also the game was discussed in the small circle of game developers.

  At the same time, the developer of this game is also discussed: Nintendo is the master of the world.

  The name is really weird.

  The name seems to mean that Nintendo is very powerful.

  But what is Nintendo? Or who is Nintendo?

  A netizen 1: "The name Nintendo sounds like a century-old store, because only a century-old store is qualified to call itself a hall. This is our Japanese custom, don't you know?" A

  netizen 2: "What does Rentian mean? It seems to mean resignation?" A

  netizen 1: "It seems like this, a century-old shop that is resigned to fate? Why is this century-old shop the world's master? Really incomprehensible."

  A netizen 3: "Wait, what are you talking about?" A

  netizen 1: "There's a new guy, and I'll repeat it for you again, forget it, I'll say it again, we are now discussing what Nintendo is What do you mean, why is this game developer calling Nintendo the master of the world." A

  netizen 3: "Is this the crux of the problem? I thought you were discussing the development concepts in the game, which made me happy for a long time." A

  netizen 2: "The name of the game developer is also very meaningful. Why do you dare to underestimate the name of the game developer?"

  A netizen 4: "Everyone! The latest news, I just found an ancient linguist. The ancient linguist seems to say that in ancient history, a kind of Varis language is called Nintendo, which represents the most holy god. Maybe this What Mr. Nintendo wants to describe is that a certain holy god is the ruler of the world?" A

  netizen 123: "Why is this related to a god again?"

  ...

  Zhu Yuxing, who was wandering the Internet a little bored, saw the chat content in this chat room When he was confused.

  Why do these people always like to decipher such boring things?

  It's just a meme, and it's certainly impossible for people in this world to know what Nintendo is.

  And in addition to the username Nintendo is the world's master, he has also registered a series of users such as Sony Dafa, Ubisoft potato cultivation expert, ten years of gaming, nine years of CG, CG with heart, and games with feet, etc. Small name.

  Now he just spent ten years making games and nine years doing CG trumpets hanging out in the chat room, and he didn't expect to see a group of people talking about this kind of thing.

  You can play my games when you have time, and let you understand that the game is not a big investment or a good one, and sometimes small and beautiful games are also very attractive.

  However, it is meaningless to say Zhuyou Xingguang here, and the people here will not pay attention to Zhuyou Xing.

  They were just there to discuss who this senior called Nintendo was and why he was the master of the world.

  Sure enough, the brains of netizens are infinite, and it is meaningless to justify them.

  However, it is interesting to watch the discussions of these sand sculpture netizens occasionally.

  Of course, after watching the discussion of sand sculpture netizens, he still has business to do, which is to encourage more people in the community to develop in the direction of independent games. This world should not only have large-scale games.

  The world needs more indie games.
