What should a game do?

We are so accustomed to the standard answer that we think there is a standard answer to any questions in the world.

 

Many people think that high ARPU is a good game. A good game is a good game with a large number of online players. It is a good game that can hook up players and make players addicted, some people think that the mentally retarded and Low-barrier games are good games, while others think that social games, viral games, are good games.

 

In the complex game theories, numerical analysis, and design trends, game designers lost themselves and become angry.

 

Calm down and ask yourself, gameWhat should I do??

 

Finding her in the dream, the truth is often very simple.

 

A game is a media expression that game designers express to players. Players feel what a designer wants to express in a game. In this regard, games are the same as movies and literature. Making money through games is just to let the games have the game rules that spread concurrently in this capitalist market. I believe that every game designer has the game he or she wants to make and his or her own dream game. You can make a good game by playing the game you want. No matter how small it is, (if you want to make a game that you don't even want to play, how can you expect players to play it ?).

 

Game designers should not put the cart before the horse, so they should think too much about how to sell the game for publishers or channel vendors. Just like an architect won't consider how to sell a house for a lady. If I were a sales lady, I would make the house the same as the prison, maximize the use of land, and make the highest profit. But is this what architects want to see? Is this a product that the consumer is willing to accept? I have seen a lot of plans. On the one hand, they complain about helping the boss design a game to make money, and on the other hand, they are doing the work of the sales lady to design a building. When talking about this key point, they usually push their responsibilities to the current situation in the domestic market.

 

It is true that the current situation in the domestic market cannot be changed by ourselves, but what about the international market? Completely free to compete in the market? If you want to make a game that you don't want to do, just to eat it with a mixed mouth, then I will choose a more profitable industry.
