For the “Library Warfare”, “PSYCHO-PASS”, “JOJO’s Bizarre Adventures (Parts 3 to 5)” and other animations, the well-known composer Kanno Youwu opened a question box the day before to answer the fans’ questions. .
In the next two days, Mr. Takino and his fans exchanged ideas, and they were able to take care of the staff of the firm. Yesterday, he opened the question box again, but he brushed up such a “question”:
.

Light novelist and game scripter posted a column on the electric shock Online website about the changes he brought to the game scripting world as “Fate/Grand Order” he saw in the industry. .
Shishi said that originally, mobile games in the feature phone era did not pay attention to scripts. Functional mobile phone screen is small, screen display and performance capabilities are limited, not suitable for scripting games; plus developers believe that many players are eager to play games to kill debris time, let them press the button to see the dialogue, only catch Take the player. .
As a result, there is a general policy on the mobile game development site: “Every script that is shown to the player should be controlled within 10 clicks”. .
In the era of smart phones, although the performance of mobile games and the actual ability have been greatly improved, there have been some games that value scripts, but most developers still avoid scripts that require long-time clicks to read dialogues. . The teacher called this phenomenon “the curse of the number of clicks.” .
“Fate/Grand Order” was also affected by the “curse of clicks” at the beginning of the line. The chapters of the game are basically composed of plots and battles. In the early days of the game, I once consciously controlled the number of hits in the plot. The result was that the characters were talking, and suddenly there was no warning. “While the words are half, but the pterosaurs are coming over,” forcibly Cut into the battle. .
This is also a common problem with many mobile games. Although the intention is to avoid the long-term plot to make the player impatient, but instead let the plot fragmented, slowing down the pace of the plot progress, the result is upside down. .
However, “FGO” broke this “curse of clicks”. One of the opportunities for the popularity of the game is the launch of Chapter 6 of the main storyline. It is not surprising that Chapter 6 of Nai’s き こ script has 100 hits in a scene. This fully proves that no matter how long the clicks are, as long as they are good enough, they will be accepted by the players. .
Although “FGO” is not the first mobile game that emphasizes scripting, its success has become a shortcut. Thus, from 2017 to the present, a major change has taken place in the game scripting community: developers have begun investing in scripts. .
The game with a lot of pure text has been added, and some games have seen a significant improvement in script quality and character description during the operation. There are still games that, while still controlling each story within 10 clicks, are also pursuing a full atmosphere and conveying concepts in short articles. .
Since game developers invest in scripts, they naturally invest in scripters. Companies that employ accomplished writers and scriptwriters as official members have soared. Originally, most of the game scripters were freelancers, but now they can enjoy the benefits of company employees, which has become a hot topic in the circle. Moreover, due to fierce competition among talents, companies have also raised their salaries. .
In addition, the outsourcing company that specializes in making game scripts has also been added. Recently, there have been many writers and scriptwriters who have joined the group to pick up live companies. This number of companies has not known how many times they have turned over in the past few years. .
Originally, the game script was easy to do. In the past, many companies did not ask experts to write scripts, but to those who wanted to write in the company. As a result, although many famous games have been born, there are also games that have been rated as “character collapse” and “the plot is inexplicable.” And troublesome things, many people think that as long as the game is fun, the level of the story does not matter.
However, today the industry is pursuing a stable long-term mass production of high-level scripts, but often does not have time to train scripters from scratch. It was in order to solve this situation that they hired novelists who had the achievements of making stories as members of the society. .
The teacher walked several times and chatted with the writer who had won the Newcomer Award. When he asked about the situation, he learned that the other party was already a member of a company and was taken aback. .
The teacher did not know how long this situation lasted. If the supply is greatly increased because of the increase in demand, then the excess supply will survive the inferior. No matter which line is the case. In fact, the teacher also heard some news that the economy is not so good. .
However, he believes that this kind of case is good news for at least those who want to be novelists and scripters. As mentioned earlier, novelists and scriptwriters are basically freelance workers. Their income is unstable and there is no five-in-one gold. Unless there is any special contact achievement, it is difficult to show their talents in other industries. The overheating of the game scripting community has brought examples of improvements to these problems. .
In addition, although the division does not think that the maximum number of clicks is not good, but the “curse of clicks” brought by the old rules leads to limited performance of the game story is a pity. Since this curse is gradually being eliminated, it is of course a good thing for players who love the wonderful story. .

GAINAX’s animated painting and performance artist Saeki Satoshi recalls that he is still a fun (?) thing when he is a newcomer. .
One day, Saeki spent the night in the studio, at 7 o’clock in the morning, suddenly someone came to visit. Because there is no one else in the studio, he goes to open the door. The self-reported person: “We are the person inspected by the Ministry of Finance of the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China.” The national tax was forcibly searched. That night, it became news. .
Saebo’s income for the month was only 50,000 yen, and even the starting point was not available, so he couldn’t find him. He stayed out-of-the-way, and although he felt unsure, he felt a sense of excitement like a holiday. .
The search officer started the search according to the formal process and proposed that he hopes that Saeki will be a witness. He certainly does not dare to refuse. However, no one came to him to testify afterwards. .
During the search, the search officers asked Saebo many questions. Interestingly, the search officer pointed out that the room where LD-BOX was used to sleep while Yukio Satoshi was staying in the studio asked: “Is this a private room supervised by Takino?” Saeki almost couldn’t help but laugh. Come out and answer “yes”. Afterwards, I recalled that they had been very clear before they went to the door. .
The searchable uncles collected the pictures of the superb paintings, which made Saeki feel very grotesque. At the time, the studio was full of material for Evangelion. A search officer looked at the materials and said, “My son can like this.” Saeki replied: “Then you can show off with him.” The search officer listened to furious: “How can I tell the child!”
More than just the studio, there are several search officers in the building. One of them, who seemed to be a big official, used the reception room as a search headquarters. I saw that when I saw it, I thought it was fun. I took this scene with a digital camera and I was shot by the big official. Something: “What are you doing! No shooting!” The sadness of Yan’s wilderness is also very surreal. . The
Search ended very early in the afternoon. Later, at the time, it was also a newcomer’s painting, Takamura and Hiroshi said, “If there is no such opportunity, this time,” took a commemorative photo with the wilderness. .
Saebo has never had a sense of reality from beginning to end, and he has not been affected by himself. Later, he realized that the search was of great significance to the company. The Tokyo Internal Revenue Service accused GAINAX of tax evasion of 580 million yen, which made the then president, Mr. Zemura, finally resign and resign. .
Now, in retrospect, Saeki only regrets: I also took a photo with me at the time. .
