Software there are many: ShrinkWrap (software packaging inside the box), Web APP (software-based web pages), Internal Software (or school or within an organization's enterprise software), Games (games), Mobile Apps (mobile application), operating systems (OS), tools (software tools)
I'm here to select three software for resolution.
The first is what I now use: RPG Maker MV , the second paragraph is from a long time ago and even today I still use: the Steam , the last paragraph is: Noteped ++
Now I'm gradually to answer each question required for the job:
First, the software developers is how to convince you (strangers) to become their users? Their goal is profitable it? Their goal is to earn cash user What? Or something else?
Second, the software is how to get your hands (mail order, download, copy each other ......)
Third, you personally for the first time is when using such software, you were a few years class, the teacher called what? Where, what state, when the software is how to get (buy genuine, piracy, download?)
answer:
(A) the Steam platform Valve hired BitTorrent ( BT Download ) inventor Bram Cohen personally designed and developed gaming platform. Steam platform is one of the world's largest integrated digital distribution platform. Players can buy in the platform, downloads, discussion, upload and share games and software.
And in 2009 I was in contact with such a platform, by browsing the web that, and because it was my favorite game Counter Strike 1.6 is the sale of Steam on top of a game . Before that I have been home machine comes with piracy CS1.6, to support genuine landed on the steam to buy a genuine game software.
As mentioned above, Steam, as the world's largest digital distribution platform, which is vulgar to say gaming platform, which aims first, to dominate the global game publishing industry , or by the sale of game software and digital were profitable , so many years later, Steam not only earned money as well as prestige, Steam is now recognized as the most just and the most extensive content of the largest gaming platform, a virtual monopoly in the previous years in the same industry.
(B) The RPG maker MV what I found on the Steam game , said the game is in fact not, RPG maker MV is a game making tool , it can easily help beginners and some people in the industry production of the game.
I precisely because of love , so bought this RPG maker's latest series of RPG maker MV on Steam, and some game production .
RpgMaker from Japan, Enterbrain Incorporation production company, the initial purpose is to facilitate the game developers of convenience, as well as attract more beginners or novices are not really even the entry to make the game, but a hit at first, continue to grow this series, thus the profitability of the user money . Not only that, RPG maker series is now recognized as similar products in the representative series .
(C) Noteped ++ , the code editor or in small WINDOWS program for text editing features comparable to Windows WordPad text editing. It is an open source, compact, free of plain text editor. Because I want to try in about 14 years when writing JS script friend recommended, because a lot of scripting efficient use Noteped ++, but also does a lot of similar products, but a habit. Noteped ++ I have been downloaded from the website free version, many of the features in the advanced version for a fee, the company's profit for the developer, but I always go up over the wall developers web page, so it can not support of the company, which I feel sorry!
Fourth, when such software is what began to emerge, between how the same type of software is competition? How trends?
A: As already mentioned above, in 2002 , the Steam system and CS1.4 Beta come together. So far, Steam operation is very widespread success, many game publishers game publisher on this platform update.
CS1.4 because of the number of users significantly , forcing the Steam booming all the way, until it was directly monopolize the market , similar to the aid of Tencent QQ user base.
RPG maker is through improved generation after generation, iterative update , and constantly enrich the developer (the players) are operating, high-precision screen, flexible and powerful scripting system, has become a masterpiece of similar products from similar products stand out , For now it seems, RPGMAKERMV the outlook remains very bright .
Fifth, the list of "special" phenomenon you observed when using the software and hardware they any different? These can explain some of the essential characteristics of the software it?
A: This "special" phenomenon is for user fees, iterative update, the number of users, usage , and different hardware, the hardware is through user outright performed using the product, after iterative update legacy will be discarded, the number of users obviously not as good as the above-mentioned multi-user software, because the type of hardware very much, dispersed the user's choice, and the software is different, the same user can pursue at the same time all the software , but the hardware does not work, resulting in single-user hardware as much as followers, these and other followers rarely experience the same type of hardware. The software user is no limit. For example, the same user, and you can run steam, and use rpgmaker on steam, and use noteped ++ scripting editor in rpgmaker production process. But the user is now used with a monitor, motherboard, cpu, video card, if you use one way to replace, it can not work no problem, but also very incompatibility may occur.
Six, you are proficient in how this software? It gives you any good, bad?
A: not really proficient, not just steam or RPGmaker or Noteped, I still have not fully grasp all its features , but I have basically mastered its main function . Give me the benefit of steam was my first experience of a huge variety of games, software, computer contacts from my 04 years so far, I have experienced a variety of games in 3000 on steam, 10 models software. The bad news is that because of its rich and charges , so I spend a large part are on Steam.
RPGmaker to my advantage is I finally try to do my own favorite, favorite, want to do , let me experience the fun as a game developer, also made me learn so much information, so I learn a lot about the game development process, details, programming languages and the like, but the downside is it takes me too much time, because to do such a thing looks great from a beginner do not understand anything, really need to spend too much time and effort to learn.
Noteped ++ gave me the benefit is to facilitate access to the script of my question, so far no harm.
Seven, what you still use it, or different brands of similar software, why?
A: still, because representatives of three software I use is the same software, the Steam commercial monopoly, RPGmaker is recognized representatives, Noteped also the more popular products.
Eight, the software in another 10 or 20 years it will continue to exist, and why?
A: The inevitable will continue to exist , because people need . Not only is it necessary, or because technological development, more and more people to explore this area and these basic things will be more and more people need to know and so I personally think that this type of software in the next 10 there is also a certain year, may not be more than software, it just might be, but this type of software will exist.
