Xa ndikhubeka kwindawo ebizwa ngokuba FEMICOM - imyuziyam yobufazi yabasetyhini - bendisazi ukuba ndiza kufumana into eyahlukileyo. Ekuboneni kokuqala, yonke into endiyibonileyo yayiyingqokelela yemidlalo yenkulungwane yamashumi amabini yamantombazana, indawo ekungaze kuthethwe ngayo. Kukwakhona, ngokuqinisekileyo, iseti yokudlala ebisoloko indiqhubela ngqo eludongeni. Imfashini kunye nokupheka imidlalo efakwe ipinki ayikaze ibe yinxalenye yereferensi yam, kwaye uluvo lwam olungqongqo ngayo yayiyenye yeendlela ezizinzileyo kunye noyilo lokungabikho. Kodwa endaweni yokudlula indawo, amehlo am abambelela kulaa tagline: Imyuziyam yabasetyhini. Kulungile, FEMICOM, bendicinga, ndicofa amakhonkco. Uchaza njani 'umntu obhinqileyo'? Abafazi ngokwe i-WHO ?
Njengoko kuvela, ngulo mbuzo kanye le FEMICOM ifuna ukuba ubuze. Ukusilela ukuphonononga le ndawo bekuya kuba yimpazamo enkulu kwicala lam. Ayikhokelelanga kuphela kwenye yeengxoxo ezixhokonxa iingcinga endibe nazo malunga nendima yesini kwimidlalo, kodwa indenze ndabeka ezam iindlela zokudlala phantsi kwemicroscope. Kudala ndihlafuna kumbuzo othi kutheni ndithanda izinto endizithandayo iintsuku ngoku.
I-FEMICOM yingqondo yengqondo URachel Weil , igcisa lokubonwayo kunye nenkqubo enobudlelwane kwinto ayibiza ngokwesiqhelo njengabafazi kwizinto zoyilo kwimidlalo. Injongo yakhe kukugcina le midlalo ilibalekayo ngendlela efikeleleka ngokulula, ecaleni kwezixhobo ezifanelekileyo. Isiza sasungulwa kuphela ngo-Epreli, ke umxholo usakhanya kancinci, kodwa ndachukumiseka kukususwa kwakhe, indlela ejolise kwindawo ekucacayo ukuba uyayithanda. Imidlalo ebandakanyiwe kwingqokelela ye-FEMICOM ngamangeniso alula ekubhekiswa kuwo - owayengumphuhlisi womdlalo, xa umdlalo wawukhutshwa, loluphi uhlobo, njalo njalo. Injongo yale nzame iphindwe kabini: ukugcina imidlalo engakhathalelwanga ikakhulu, kunye nokukhuthaza iingxoxo malunga nesini kwimidlalo. Kuye wamkelekile post , URachel wayenokuthetha oku kulandelayo malunga ne-FEMICOM:
Ngokuzisa ezi zinto zenziwayo zombane ndawonye kwindawo yogcino esembindini, ndiyathemba ukukhuthaza uthelekiso phakathi kwabo kwaye ndibuze kwaye ndiphendule imibuzo malunga nendima yesini engatshintshiyo kunye nendlela abakhe ngayo imidlalo yanamhlanje kunye namava ekhompyuter.
Iingcinga zesini azithathi ntlobo zimangalisayo zabantu kule planethi, ngombulelo. Kodwa ndiza kuphakamisa ukuba ukuhlalutya ngokucinga, ukukhathalogu, kunye nokubhiyozela izinto zoyilo lwabasetyhini okanye iindlela zokudlala akuthethi ukuba kuthintela ukuqhubela phambili ngokwesini. Ndiyathemba ukuba abantu bazo zonke iimvelaphi baya kukonwabela ukutyelela i-FEMICOM kwaye baqale incoko nabahlobo malunga noko bakubonayo apha.
Ngeli nqanaba, bendisazi ukuba ndifuna ukuthetha naye. Wayenobubele ngokwaneleyo ukuba anyanzele.
Amagumbi kaBekky: Kuvakala [ukusuka kwiposti eyamkelekileyo] ngathi sobabini siqale ukudlala kwi-90's yakuqala. Iilebhu zekhompyuter zesikolo zigcwele ii-Mac ezintsonkothileyo kunye nemini emva kwemini edlala uSonic beziyinxalenye yobuntwana bam, nazo. Nangona kunjalo, unaso isakhelo sesalathiso endingenaso. Imidlalo yamantombazana eyintombazana, njengoko ubachazile, yayingeyiyo indebe yam yeti, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo ndibhalisile ukungabikho kobukho babasetyhini kwimidlalo mna wayenjalo ukudlala. Ndinomdla wokwazi ukuba imidlalo yabantwana bethu ijongeka njani ngokwembono yakho, njengoko wawudlala yomibini imidlalo yamantombazana kunye neyamakhwenkwe. Ngaba ukhethe enye kwenye? Ngaba imidlalo yamantombazana yaziva yamkelekile? Okanye konke ibikukudlala nje kuwe?
URachel Weil: Ubuntwana bam bokuqala babungazaliswanga yimidlalo yevidiyo yamantombazana kwaphela; Andizange nje ndihlangane nabo de kwaba kwishumi elivisayo xa ndaba nomdla wokulinganisa kunye nemidlalo engaziwayo yaseJapan. Xa ndandimncinci, utata wam wandisa eArcadeni kancinci. Ndikwanayo nemidlalo ye-LCD ephathwayo engabizi kakhulu. Uninzi lokuvezwa kwam kwikhonsoli yokudlala ngelo xesha yayikukubukela abahlobo okanye abazala babo bedlala. Ngexesha lokufikelela kweminyaka esibhozo okanye esithoba ubudala, kwakucacile kum ukuba imidlalo yevidiyo yayenzelwe amakhwenkwe kuphela. Ngelixa ndingazange ndiphulukane nomdla kwimidlalo yevidiyo, ndiyifumene ngokucacileyo le nto yokuba akukho namnye kubafana oza kunikezela isilawuli kum kumjikelo owabiweyo Mntundini Kombat okanye Ihlabathi le-Super Mario . Ngethamsanqa, ndakwazi ukuyilungisa loo ndlela yokucinga ngexesha lokufikisa kwam. Ndiqale ukuthenga imidlalo ye-Super Nintendo ne-Sega yexabiso eliphantsi kwintengiso yegaraji kuba akukho mntu ebefuna into endala. Ndibuye ndalikhumbula elo xesha lokudlala kwaye ndadlala ngento endiyiphosileyo kwixesha lokuqala. Kwakukuhle, eneneni.
BC: Ungandixelela ntoni ngokuphefumlelwa kwakho ukwenza i-FEMICOM? Ngokoluvo lwakho, kutheni kubalulekile ukuba ugcine le niche yenkcubeko yokudlala?
RW: Ndilanda umdla wam kwimidlalo yevidiyo yabasetyhini kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo xa ndathandana kakhulu nemidlalo yaseJapan Super Famicom, ngakumbi INyanga yoLwandle izihloko ezinje Elinye iBali kunye neminye imidlalo emnandi esekwe kuthotho lwe-shoujo anime. Njengoko bendinomdla wokuqokelela imidlalo yakudala yevidiyo, ndiye ndabona ukuba phakathi kwemidlalo ekhutshwe e-US, bambalwa kakhulu ababonisa izinto zoyilo lwabasetyhini. Okukhona ndiphanda imidlalo yenkulungwane yamashumi amabini eyenzelwe amantombazana, kokukhona ndiya ndibona ukuba luncinci kangakanani ulwazi olufumanekayo ngezi zihloko. Ngaphezu koko, loluphi ulwazi endilufumeneyo phantse lwalusoloko luchasa okanye lubi. Ndifumene abaqokeleli kunye neentatheli bechaza imidlalo engaqhelekanga nenika umdla yamantombazana kunye nokuthuthuzelwa kwenkunkuma, inkunkuma, izithuko, njalo njalo. Bendinokuqonda ukuba yonke lembali yomdlalo wevidiyo inokugqibela inyamalale kwirekhodi, kwaye inokunyamalala ngaphandle kohlalutyo olunengcinga lokuba ingaba le midlalo yayiyinkunkuma yokwenyani ngenxa yepinki okanye ukusetyenziswa kweentliziyo okanye umdlalo weqonga osekwe kwimfashini. Bendingafuni ukuyibona le midlalo yakudala yeentombazana iphoselwa ecaleni kwaye ingaze yenziwe ikhathalogu kuba bekucingelwa ukuba iyahlehla ekuhlaleni okanye ichasene nengqondo ngandlela thile.
Nge-FEMICOM, ndifuna ukubonelela ngesicatshulwa sembali, ikhathalogu, ethi, Nabu ubungqina bobukho bamashumi eminyaka omdlalo wevidiyo kunye nesoftware kunye nemithombo yeendaba yewebhu ezame ukukhuthaza kunye nokonwabisa. Ukuba sijamelene nemfumba yeentetho ezikhohlakeleyo, masithethe ngaloo nto. Ukuba besiphazamile ukugxeka umdlalo ngokungafani Mholweni , makhe sithethe ngaloo nto, nathi.
BC: Wenza inqaku elinomdla ngokubhekisele ekugwebeni imidlalo ngesiqulatho sayo, endaweni yokwenza iimpendulo zedolo malunga nokubonakala. Kumava am, bendisoloko ndizifumana ndikwimeko enqabileyo yokonwabela umdlalo kuphela wokudlala, ngaphandle kwento yokuba andithandi okanye ndiziva ndingonwabanga malunga nendlela ekhethe ukubonisa ngayo abalinganiswa ababhinqileyo. Uyinyani ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba andikuboleki kwa eso sibonelelo sokuthandabuza kwimidlalo enxibe iipinki kunye neeribhoni. Ngelixa kukho imidlalo endiye ndayiphepha ngokupheleleyo ngenxa yobugcisa bebhokisi yezesondo ngokungekho semthethweni okanye ulusu lomlinganiswa, kunokwenzeka ukuba ndiqengqe amehlo am, ndinyikime amazinyo kwaye ndiqhubeke ndidlala kumdlalo ongabonakalisi abantu basetyhini ngokufanelekileyo kunam nika umdlalo wentombazana ukudubula ngokufanelekileyo. Ngumgangatho ophindwe kabini onomdla, kwaye ndingabeka ingozi ekuqikeleleni ukuba yeyona nto uninzi lwabadlali bebhola- mhlawumbi ababhinqileyo ngokukodwa babhalisayo. Ndicinga ukuba kukubuyela umva kwimbono yokuba amantombazana akufuneki adlale izinto ezifanayo ezidlalwa ngamakhwenkwe, ukuba kufuneka sidlale into eyenziwe ngokukodwa kuthi.
RW: Ewe sinayo le mpendulo yamathumbu ukuba imidlalo enxibe izaphetha ayizukulunga kwaphela. Kodwa kutheni? Xa ujonga imidlalo yeNintendo DS kumthengisi womdlalo, umzekelo, uya kubona uluhlu olukhulu lweentombi. Kodwa bambalwa kakhulu kwezi ezifikelela kwiminyaka yeshumi elivisayo okanye nangaphaya, kwaye bambalwa ababonakala benobunzulu okanye umceli mngeni onokuthi uvuyise umdlali onamava. Abo balahlekayo kwingxolo epinki. Imidlalo yevidiyo yeentombazana ayifane ipapashwe, kunqabile ukuba iphononongwe, kunqabile ukuba ibhalwe, kwaye kunqabile ukuba iboniswe evenkileni. Akukho buzz ejikeleze i-sim yangoku yokwenza. Kodwa ngokucacileyo kufuneka kubekho intengiso kule midlalo, inikwe isabelo sabo kwisithuba esishelufini. Mhlawumbi ukuthengwa kuyenziwa ngabazali abafuna isipho esimnandi kwintombi yabo encinci, kwaye mhlawumbi ukupakishwa okupinki yinto yabo kubo hayi kuthi.
Ngokwamava am, ngokuqinisekileyo bendinamaxesha apho bendiziva ndinyanzelekile ukuba ndizibonakalise njengomdlali weqonga wokwenene okanye ukuvuma ukuba andinakuthathwa nzulu ngenxa yesini sam. Ndicinga ukuba uninzi lwamantombazana amadala anyamezelayo kumdlalo wokudlala asinda ngokujonga ubufazi kwaye abe ngomnye wabafana, ngokutsho oko. Kuyavunywa ukuba kunzima ukungena kwisihlwele sabadlali be-gamer kwaye ungene kunye nabo, Hee, ingaba niyidlalile yonke umdlalo weBarbie osandula ukuphuma? Kodwa, ewe, olu luhlobo lwento endiyenzayo ngalo lonke ixesha xa ndikunye nabanye abadlali. Ndiyathanda ukwenza abantu bathethe malunga nokuba kuthetha ukuthini ukuba ngumdlali weqonga wokwenene okanye onzima. Yinqanawa elungileyo, ukuba akukho enye into.
BC: Kwisihloko somgangatho wokudlala umdlalo, ulwazi lwam olunqunyelweyo kwimidlalo yamantombazana lubonisa ukuba uninzi lwazo lwenziwe ngabaphuhlisi abangamadoda kuhlahlo-lwabiwo mali oluncinci. Luthini uluvo lwakho kwimeko apho le midlalo yadalwa khona?
RW: Nantso umbono wam, kananjalo, nangona ndiyavuma ukuba andizazi izinto ezithile. Ndiyacinga lonto Uhlobo lweSavvy yeNintendo DS ibinemali ephezulu kunenye yezinye izihloko zefashoni phaya kuba uNintendo wapapasha kwaye wavelisa umdlalo. USatoru Iwata wayengumvelisi olawulayo kuloo mdlalo. Kwaye uBeyonce wayenenkwenkwezi kwiintengiso zikamabonwakude! Uhlobo lweSavvy ngumdlalo onomdla kum ngokwembono yezifundo. Ithengise kakuhle kakhulu, kwaye la magama makhulu ayabandakanyeka, ukanti umdlalo awufumananga phantse ungaphononongi eMelika. Umkhondo we-3DS ucwangciselwe ukukhutshwa eJapan, kwaye ndinethemba lokuba ukukhutshwa kwe-US kuya kulandela. Kumnandi ukubona uNintendo etyala imali kumdlalo onje Uhlobo lweSavvy .
BC: Uluvo lwemidlalo yamantombazana yinto ekhoyo ngoku kwiingxoxo zeshishini zangoku malunga nendlela yokujongana ngakumbi nabasetyhini bebhola. Kukho inkampu ezimbini: enye iphikisana nokwenza imidlalo ngakumbi amantombazana nabafazi, kwaye enye ikholelwa ekubeni eyona nto iphambili ekufuneka ijolise kuyo kukwenza imidlalo ingathathi cala kwezesini (okanye ubuncinci ibandakanye abafazi). Ngoku, imakethi yabasetyhini ayinangqondo, kwaye ndicinga ukuba kukho indawo ebaleni lokudlala lomntu wonke, kodwa ndiyavuma ukuba ukugxila kwam kugxile kubumbano lwesini, endaweni yokwahlulahlula izinto. Ngenxa yomnqweno wakho wokugcina abo bangaphambi kwabo, ndinomdla wokwazi malunga neengcinga zakho kuphuhliso lwangoku (okanye nakwikamva) lemidlalo yamantombazana.
RW: Ndingathanda ukuqaphela ukuba ndijonga umdla wam kulondolozo loyilo lomdlalo wabasetyhini njengenzame eyahlukileyo ekubandakanyeni ababhinqileyo. Njengoko uchazile, ndicinga ukuba, isisombululo sokungalingani ngokwesini kwimidlalo ayenziwanga Imfazwe yanamhlanje: Girlz ndibize usuku. Iindlela zokudlala umdlalo kunye nokuzibandakanya kwabaphulaphuli ababhinqileyo zizinto ezicel'umngeni endinyanisekileyo ukuba andikufanelanga ukuthetha nazo. Kukho inani labantu eliqaqambileyo ngokumangalisayo kwizifundiswa nakumzi-mveliso ojonga lo mbandela, kodwa andibeki phakathi kwabo.
Imidlalo endiyiqokelelayo ye-FEMICOM ubukhulu becala izimele kumdlali. Zimalunga nezo zinto zibalelwa emxholweni njengabafazi: iintliziyo, izaphetha ezipinki, amachaphaza e-polka, ivenkile, ifashoni, njalo njalo. Ke ngelixa umdlalo uthanda Tetris inokuba ithandwa kakhulu phakathi kwamantombazana, ayifakwanga kwingqokelela ye-FEMICOM kuba ayinabuhle. Ngokuqhelekileyo, Ukuzonwabisa kukaKirby kuba i-NES yayiyeyona idumileyo phakathi kwamakhwenkwe, kodwa ndingatsho ukuba isebenzisa izinto ezininzi zoyilo lwabasetyhini ezinje ngokuthambeka, indawo ye-pastel kunye neqhawe elihle, elinoboya, elipinki.
Ngelixa ndinqwenela ukugcina injongo yokuqokelelwa kwe-FEMICOM, ndiyathemba ukuba i-FEMICOM iyakhuthaza kwiincoko ezinje ngale kwaye abantu baqala ukucinga malunga nento eyenza umdlalo wamantombazana okanye wamakhwenkwe. Ngokwam, ndingathanda ukubona imidlalo yabasetyhini enzima kakhulu kwaye inzima, efikelela kubadlala phambili kuyo yonke iminyaka kunye nesini. (A Iponi yam encinci: Ubuhlobo Ngumlingo I-JRPG, nabani na?) Ndiyakuthanda ukubona utshintsho kwindlela abadlali, iintatheli, abagcini boovimba, kunye nabaphuhlisi abacinga nabathetha ngezinto zoyilo lobufazi. Ndicinga ukuba oko sikuthethayo ngemidlalo yabasetyhini kutyhila into malunga nendlela esibuxabisa ngayo ubufazi ngokubanzi.
BC: Kuyahlekisa ukuba ukhankanye ukuba ufuna le midlalo ifikelele kubo bonke abantu besini, kuba yile nto kanye bendicinga ngayo kule ncoko. Ukuphawula umdlalo njenge yamantombazana ngokufanelekileyo ichaza yonke eminye imidlalo njenge hayi eyamantombazana . Ndibona iingxaki ezintathu kuloo nto - enye yeyamantombazana akhetha amazembe edabi kunye neziqhushumbisi zerokethi, enye yeyabafana abafuna ukudlala kwenye indawo ngaphandle kwendawo yemfazwe, kwaye enye yeyamantombazana abaziva ngathi abanako ukuzibiza ngokuba ngabadlala umdlalo wokwenene kuba bakhetha imidlalo ngepinki.
Ndicinga ukuba ukulungiswa okulula iya kuba kukususa yamantombazana Ithegi iyonke-ayisiyilo loyilo, kodwa yileyibhile kuphela. Yenza imidlalo ngayo nayiphi na imibala, umzobo kunye neendlela zokudlala ozifunayo, kodwa ke umdlali makenze isigqibo sokuba zezobani. Ukuba unamapulatifomu amabini e-puzzle - yithi, enye kwiipastels, enye kwi-metallic gritty-kufuneka babe kwi-shelf efanayo. Zombini zihlobo olufanayo; Yonke into emva kwenyani yinto nje yobuhle. Oku, ewe, kubotshelelwe kwingxaki enkulu yokuhlulwa kwesini kwinkcubeko yabathengi ngokubanzi, kodwa ngoku ndinomdla woluvo lokungena kwivenkile yomdlalo kwaye ndibona imidlalo epinki isasazwa ngokulinganayo phakathi kwayo yonke eminye imidlalo, kunokuba yahlulwe kwikona enye ebuhlungu.
RW: Ngaba akunakuba mnandi oko?
BC: Umbuzo wokugqibela: I-FEMICOM ngokucacileyo ngumsebenzi oqhubekayo, kwaye uchaza kwiwebhusayithi ukuba uvulelekile kwiminikelo nakwizimvo. Luhlobo luni lwenkxaso oyifunayo kule projekthi, kwaye abo banomdla banokunceda njani?
RW: Ewe ukuqhuba i-FEMICOM yinto oyithandayo ngalo mzuzu, ke ixesha kunye nemali zezona ngxaki ziphambili ekunikezeleni umxholo ongaphezulu. Nangona kunjalo, ngokuqinisekileyo ndinomdla wokuva kuye nabani na ongathanda ukwabelana nengqondo yakhe kuphuhliso lwemidlalo yevidiyo yabasetyhini kunye nesoftware, ngakumbi ukusuka ku-2000 okanye ngaphambili. Njengawe, ndinomdla wenkqubo yophuhliso kunye notyalo mali oluye kule midlalo. Ndingathanda ukubandakanya uphando olwenziweyo kwisiza ukwenza ukuba kube lula kubatyeleli ukuba babelane ngeenkumbulo zabo kwaye babonelele ngokwabo ukuqonda kokwenza i-FEMICOM ibe nkulu ngakumbi kwaye ibengcono. Njengokuba amathuba okubandakanyeka koluntu efumaneka, ndiza kubabandakanya Iphepha leFEMICOM lokuXhasa .
