こんにちは、M.Sです。
今回は、AmebaPiggネタ、および旬のネタあわせて二本エントリを公開します。
一本目はピグ釣りゲーム開発者、Kosakaさん。釣りゲーム開発は、相当なハードスケジュールの中リリースされましたが、これまでのブラック企業での経歴が役立っているのか、まるで彼にはこたえなかったようで、今は「つねに厳しいことにチャレンジしていたい」ということで、彼の趣味の山登りをさらに強化させているとのこと。
うちの新卒研修では、その一貫として２年前に富士登山があったんですが、一部根強い復活論があるので、仮に再度企画されたときは、ぜひ参加していただきたいものです....M.S.の代りとして。
ところで釣りゲームといえば、苦労のかいあってか、各所で攻略法が公開されたり、私も先日の飲み会で某著名人の方から「全然釣れない！攻略法教えろ！」とクレームを受けるほどの盛況さですが、当の開発者に攻略法を聞いてみたところ、「エサと釣り竿の選び方」というマニュアル回答が返ってきました。
それでも食い下がって、「昔のゲーム開発者って、宣伝目的やデバッグ目的で必ず何かしらバックドア仕込んでおいたものですが、なんかそういうのはないんですかねー」、とKosaka氏に聞いてみたんですが、「そんなものはないです（キッパリ）」と断言されてしまいました……残念。
それでは、どうぞ。
Today, we'll post two blog articles about Ameba Pig and about the famous Japanese satellite 'Hayabusa'.
The first article is written by Kosaka. He is in charge of the online fishing game, Ameba Pig Fishing. It was a very hard project to make this fishing game, one that forced him and his co-workers to take on a very heavy workload. However, it was easy for him because he was used to working for some terrible companies that are famous for their heavy workloads. He usually tries to take on difficult tasks like this project. That's why now his next project is to climb a high mountain and put his body under stress.
Our company used to hold a mountain climbing training program for new workers two years ago. Some people sometimes tell me that we should do this training again, because it gave many participants not only physical toughness but also a better sense of teamwork. If this training is held again, I hope he'll join it in place of me.
By the way, the fishing game I mentioned above is very popular among players. Some of them have made websites how to get a high score, and one famous economist's son grumbled to me at a recent social gathering because he can't get a high score on this game. Actually, I asked Kosaka how to get a high score on this game. However, he only told me to choose good bait and a good fishing rod. I got tough with him again. I said to him, 'The old style programmers sometimes made a special way to get a high score to drum up sales or get players to debug the code. I thought you would have included a similar feature in this fishing game.' But he only said to me, 'I am a new type of programmer. The answer is no!'. Oh, man...
Ok. Please check his article.
