泥中蟠龍 's Game 愛歌 [A love song for games of the dragon waiting for an opportunity]   Change of viewpoint makes novelty   Do you know a recent Japanese mobile game Survive! Mola Mola!? In most games, a game character has to survive, which is the most important mission. However, the more a fish dies, the more gets it stronger in the new concept of Survive! Mola Mola!. Nowadays I'm coming into competition with my friends how many times it dies. It's even hard to die after numerous death and rebirth because the character is too strong. My character has died eighty times and I'm now playing the game with my eighty-first sunfish. I'm hard at playing it for the hundredth revival. Do you Know a recent Korean movie The Deal? Most crime thrillers deal with a story of the main character tracking down a criminal. But the newly-released film talks about revenge for a murderer who has already caught since he frustrated due to limitations of the administration...

泥中蟠龍 's Game 愛歌 [A love song for games of the dragon waiting for an opportunity]   Have the courage to create uncontested market space   I have ever heard such a funny story that Kang Ho Dong, a famous South Korean MC and comedian, is not known to many junior high and high school students as the top wrestler-turned TV star. The former wrestler began a career as a master of ceremonies and comedian as well in 1999 on MBC TV show. But 20 years later, his successful wrestling — Ssireum — career appears to have not existed anymore. Recently video game users seem to take it for granted that a new mobile game is released through Kakao Talk almost like MC Kang Ho Dong, not the wrestler. Kakao Talk Game Center opened just 3 years ago, however, we already got used to it. I've recently asked a representative of a video game developer about the type of game between online and mobile when I had a business meeting with him. "Is there still an online game devel...

泥中蟠龍 's Game 愛歌 [A love song for games of the dragon waiting for an opportunity]   FPS! FPS! I wanna play FPS!   Today I have a confession to make. I have a very serious Stereoblindness. As you probably know, it is the inability to see in 3D using stereo vision. Even though it is generally caused by differences between a signal received by the optic nerve and the body, people in the gaming industry usually make fun of them saying that it's too boorish. The reason why I tell the truth is that I cannot play First-person shooter (FPS) video games despite a video game expert. After just 10-minutes playing, I feel sick and heavily dizzy. There was an only one FPS that I had finished it. It is a legendary First-person shooter Xbox video game Halo: Combat Evolved which was released in 2001. In those days FPS-style console games had a very small market share compared to the PC platform. I believe that the biggest reason — of course, there would be other reas...

泥中蟠龍 's Game 愛歌 [A love song for games of the dragon waiting for an opportunity]   Maximilien Ringelmann or Synergy effect   We usually say that we expect the synergy effect when we do something together between groups or individual members. The term synergy is derived from the Greek word for synergos meaning "working together". Synergy — synergistic effect — , as defined in Cambridge dictionary, is "the combined power of a group of things when they are working together that is greater than the total power achieved by each working separately“. But can we have all the good things from working together? Isn't there the worst possibility? You can easily see many loveless couples around you although they wanted to create a happy family with their partner before they were married. If the cooperation between the two produces good results all the time, there are no marriages ended in divorce. Maximilien Ringelmann, a French agricultural engine...

泥中蟠龍 's Game 愛歌 [A love song for games of the dragon waiting for an opportunity]   Every flood has its ebb   A domestic animation which I invested in was released at the end of last year. Being received positive reactions from the preview, I had high hopes for the children's animation aimed at Christmas and year-end. But it disappeared with a poor score of 30,000 audiences. The animation, which major local film distributor invested in and distributed, was expected to attract 300,000 moviegoers. I think that the biggest reason for the miserable failure at the box office, of course, there could have been many different causes, is the distributing agency's insincere stance; The distributor might think otherwise. There were very little theaters for the film in less than a week and I could barely find it in cinemas in Christmas season against its original plan. There were too many losses for some mobile games which came out last year due to a publisher...

泥中蟠龍 's Game 愛歌 [A love song for games of the dragon waiting for an opportunity]     What is the key factor of games success?     An epic science fiction film Interstellar has surpassed the 10-million-audience mark getting huge popularity since another Hollywood blockbuster Avatar recorded over 10 million viewers in 2009, except animation Frozen in late 2014. The Christopher Nolan movie shows many fundamental of modern physics to explain the abstract concept of the study and audiences can see signs of the director's effort in it. I'd like to talk about not modern physics itself but chaos theory which has popularly referred to as the butterfly effect. In the chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. This is another story. Recently I've ever had a conversation about k...
