白井博士の未来のゲームデサイン
“The Future of Game Design” Science in Entertainment Systems
The first time I read this book was for a class, but after reading it, it gave me a lot more insights
than what I was originally expected.
Even though the book is written in Japanese, overall the difficulties are not that bad, and with
intermediate level of Japanese should be able to understand the book.
It’s not simply a book about game design or entertainment system, it actually discussed the
meaning behind what is a game, what’s the purpose of a game, what elements does a game or
entertainment has... and many ext. The topics that this book discussed made me think deeper
about what a game should be and how would we, as game designers should deliver the game.
Here is a translation of one part of the book that I thought was interesting:
(I did my best to translate, so might not flow as well)
pg.149
“Normal”, and “Abnormal” technology
With research and tests, the following will discussed and analyze the “normal” and
“abnormal” technology.
For example, in order to make a game that made people excited, hyped, and think about
“how many hours I want to play this game on,” first a stable and fast engine, detailed and making
skills that doesn’t allow any margins of errors, and thoughtful testing are required for this kind of
game. For that, that is an example of the continuation and perfection of the current technology,
which would belong to the “normal” technology. In contrast, a technology that will draws
people’s attention, interest and willingness to buy it will go up due to “new interface and
experience” is a category of “abnormal” technology.
“Abnormal” technology is not a technology that’s simply “not normal.” In Japan, known
as one of the most technological advanced country that doesn’t happened in one day, a
international conference SIGGRAPH that has the biggest CG interactive technology has the
demonstration for “Emerging Technologies,” which draws the interest of many Japanese
researchers and they all have high evaluations towards this newer kind of technology. In
comparison, this kind of technology will let the English speakers be amazed and say “Awesome”
or “Amazing!” For sure the “normal” technology will receive high evaluations too, but the
comments towards the technology will be more directed to the quality of how well the
technology is represented, and usually will get a comment of “Excellent.”
As you can see, the content of this book is not simply, or actually is not like how the book is
written, just a gaming design book. There are sections that define the meaning of play, what does
it mean for people to enjoy the game, and the above section, what’s the difference between
different kinds of game and technology. All of these were big support and gave me a lot more to
consider about on the current technology and future technology. Overall the book is well written
and easy to understand, with a lot of information that is helpful. I won’t go too much in detail
about the whole book, but hopefully if you have the chance to get this book, and gain a deeper
understanding of the science behind entertainment system.
