Hello. I’m Azuma, a writer who writes game-related articles for SQOOL.NET.
The author is an old man who spent his youth in the Showa era, especially in the 1980s, when subculture was at its peak.Personally, I remember that it was a time when games were especially popular, creative, and interesting (although it was the most interesting era). is now and in the future).
I would like to write a column about the gaming situation of the past and present from the perspective of such a fossil gamer.
Well, I was looking at SQOOL.NET thinking about what I should write about as a column…Click hereSomething that struck me when I saw the article.
Yes, I think many of SQOOL.NET’s readers are young people who love games, so naturally I want to get a job related to games! I think there are many people who say that.
That’s why the author’s first column is a memorable one, with some thoughts on the “game job” (piggybacking).
Start with a simple profile
I would like to briefly introduce my profile.
When I was a child, I was obsessed with games, manga, and music, and had no interest in studying or sports. He was a boy who vaguely thought that he wanted to work in a game-related job in the future.
About five years after entering the workforce, he became a professional editor who produced game strategy guides, and then became a freelance writer.
I was mainly writing articles about games and mobile phone calls, but when I saw the explosive success of mobile phone games, I became interested in the IT industry and changed jobs to a company that produces mobile content, and later started creating games and homepages. Engaged.
I have worked in various related industries, and currently am a writer who writes articles about games.
Most of my time as a member of society has been spent working in games, and I would like to share with you my thoughts and feelings about working in games based on that experience.
Play the game! Do it as hard as you can! Do it until you get bored!
As was argued in this column, if you like games, I think you should just play them.
By the way, Mr. Hayashi, who is famous for his famous line, “It’s now!”, said, “Even if you cut down on your gaming time, you won’t increase your study time.” There is a famous saying that I am grateful for, and this is exactly what it says!
Don’t play games with your parents! If you are being bothered, try saying the above.
Since it comes from a professor who graduated from the University of Tokyo, it’s very persuasive, and I think it will be an indulgence for playing games (lol).
That is right. I think that you should do what you like, and that it is an ability that you should develop.
By continuing to play games like this, there are always things you can’t see or places you can end up in that you can’t see unless you play the game.
I will now explain this point in detail.
Games are fun! It doesn’t end there. Don’t miss the mechanism that makes it so fun!
If I had to add one thing to the idea of ”playing games thoroughly,” I would say that it means understanding and grasping the stories, music, images, ideas, and historical perspectives that make games fun. I can list it.
My opinion on this point is that it’s not just about having fun, it’s important to understand the messages and hints that make up that fun in your own way and broaden your horizons. is nothing else.
This tendency is especially noticeable in works that are said to be masterpieces, and a famous example of this is “Momotaro Dentetsu.”
I hear that many Momotetsu players use it as an opportunity to expand their knowledge by learning about geography, becoming interested in regional characteristics, and looking at local history.
There are many people who became interested in music and playing musical instruments and started bands from “Guitar Freaks” and “Drum Mania,” which were derived from the “Beat Mania Series.”
In fact, there are many cases in which games serve as an opportunity to broaden one’s horizons and lead to other skills.
Many people may have become interested in historical things because of “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” and “Nobunaga’s Ambition.”
It turns out that the stories of RPGs reflect a lot of the history and characters that humans have walked through up until now, and in the case of SLGs related to urban development, it is important to have a sense of business management, design sense, and efficiency from city development. Tips, etc. If you continue to play games and become interested in other things, your horizons will expand, and if you end up making a game, that experience will expand the breadth and depth of your creations. It will be connected.
I would like to conclude this article with a statement from Hitoshi Matsumoto, also known as Downtown’s Macchan, a comedy legend.
「Games can be both inspiring and educational.」
This is a comment about a musician’s mother who destroyed her child’s game console because he broke the rules for playing games.
As Mr. Matsumoto says, “learning” is absolutely essential in order to improve yourself, whether it’s playing a game or anything else.
Please continue to play the game and learn many things.
If you aim to become a game creator, the lessons learned from this experience will surely help you.
