独立游戏大电影（2012）

I have a hard time sleeping.
别的事也没心思想
I can’t think of anything else.
整天不停地在想这件事
It’s constantly running through my head.
这事太重大了 这次展示太重要了
And it’s such a big deal, it’s such a big show,
因为会有那么多人来观看
there are gonna be so many people.
我现在还不想走到前台
I’m not in a head space right now,
也不想受到太多关注
where I want to be exposing myself,
也不想当个公众人物 接受访谈什么的
and being a public figure, and talking to people.
我完全沉浸在个人世界里
I’m so in my own little world.
制♥作♥《菲斯帽》 努力完成它
Just working on FEZ. Trying to finish it.
除此之外我什么都不想做
I don’t do anything else.
除此之外的任何事都让我煎熬
Every other aspect of my life is suffering.
因为我他妈只是想快点把游戏做完
Because I’m just trying to finish this fucking game.
因为现在 各种可能性都存在
Because right now, it could go either way.
可能会演变成一场噩梦 我不知道
It could be a nightmare… I don’t know.
距PAX开幕
还有两天
《时空幻境》已于2008年8月发♥售♥
这有个游戏 名叫《时空幻境》
They got this game right? This shit called ‘Braid’
瞧瞧
Watch this shit!
说的是这个西装男
It’s about this little guy in a suit
就像是未来版的马里奥
It look like Mario in the future.
游戏一经发♥售♥
立即获得市场和评论界的热烈反响
也是那么走走跳跳
And he’s just walking around, jumping on shit
但好玩的是你还能这么做 瞧着
But the funny part is: You can do this, watch this…
《时空幻境》: XBLA史上 首日销♥售♥额最佳游戏之一
GameSpot评分
编辑推荐
《时空幻境》随意逆转时间
在发♥售♥日
On release day,
你会忍♥不住上网看玩家反应如何
you start seeing reactions of people on the Internet.
就我而言 这是件很容易上瘾的事
And for me, it was a very addictive thing.
因为我为这游戏辛苦数年
Because here I’ve spent several years
大部分时间都与世隔绝埋头苦干
working on this thing in isolation for the most part.
然后有一天游戏发♥售♥了
And then suddenly it gets out. And a lot of people,
几天之内大概有上万人玩过
like tens of thousands of people play it in the first few days.
网上都在谈论你的游戏
You see that all over the Internet.
对我来说 这是一种非常负面的体验
And, for me, that was a very negative experience.
《时空幻境》发♥售♥之后
When Braid was coming out,
人们肯定要在网上热烈讨论
people would talk about it online.
这前后一段时间
And this was around the birth
正赶上一大批游戏评论博客的出现
of serious video game blog commentary
有不少人在博客里评论他们玩过的游戏
Lots of people on blog writing actually pretty good stuff
有一些写得还非常不错
about what they were playing, what they thought of it.
只要你提到了他的名字
Every time you mentioned his name,
他就会几乎立即在你的评论文章下面回复
he would show up in your comments almost instantly.
就好像他的谷歌♥提醒 我看他不会用这个
Like his Google Alerts… I don’t even think he uses Google Alerts.
他肯定会用一些比谷歌♥提醒更好的应用
I think he has something better than ‘Google Alerts’.
总之他一定会出现发表评论或回复
So he’d pop up and comment and reply to things,
或者纠正网友的一些说法
or correct people on things.
甚至因此出了名
And became kind of famous for it.
Penny Arcade[在线漫画网站]还调侃了一番
Penny Arcade even cracked about it.
我发现网上把我看成是这样一种人
I found that there was this perception of me on the Internet,
乔纳森·布洛绝不放过 任何一条对他游戏的评论
而这种形象很快就变得
that was running away, very quickly
不像是我了
from who I think I am,
乔恩·布洛的欢乐一刻
所以这种事让人 非常烦恼
And that was kind of disturbing.
变♥态♥天才
乔·布洛是个固执己见的混♥蛋♥
这好说 去问我管家的园丁就行
装腔作势又讨人厌的话痨
而对此我似乎又没什么应对的办法
And there didn’t seem to be much that I could do about that.
所以说这种体验对我而言非常负面
So that was actually a pretty negative experience.
所以在《时空幻境》发♥售♥之后
I was actually seriously depressed
我大约抑郁了三 四个月
for probably 3-4 months after Braid came out.
把这么多时间花在这么精致的作品上
When you work a long time on something really intricate like that,
你就不由得希望
there’s a hope that
玩家将会理解你的作品的思想和内涵
people are going to understand the things that you did.
这样你才和你的受众
And that you’ll have some line of communication
有了共同语言
with your audience.
而实际上 最让人沮丧的一件事
And actually, some of the most demoralizing things
就是对游戏的正面评价
were actually positive reviews of the game.
XBLA最佳游戏
XBLA最佳游戏
等游戏一上市
The game would come out
人们就会说 “这游戏太好玩了”
and people would say ‘Oh, this game’s great!’
真正的艺术品
“差一分就满分”
‘9 out of 10!’
“就得给满分”
’10 out of 10!’
然后他们就会解释到底哪里好
And they’d say what’s good about the game.
但是许多时候
And in many cases it would be
高明的谜题
时间流动机制
风格美妙异常
这些对游戏的解读都非常肤浅
just a very surface understanding of the game.
他们完全没领会
That didn’t even see
这款游戏最独特的气质
what I thought was most special about it.
并没有那么多人理解你
Not that many people understood.
从某个角度讲让我挺伤心的
And that was a little bit heartbreaking, in a way.
我本来设想着要通过这个游戏
I visualized I was going to have some kind of connection
与玩家建立某种联♥系♥
with people through this game.
他们很喜欢这游戏 但却没能理解我
And they think it’s great, but the connection isn’t there.
因为他们生活在另一个世界里
Because, they’re kind of living in a different world still.
评论 《时空幻境》发人深省 乐趣盎然
《时空幻境》探索游戏未来的怀旧之旅
他们赞美游戏的原因我也认同一部分 但是
So they think it’s great for some of the reasons I do, but…
但是其它的我并不…
but not for other…
总之他们没有体会到最重要的内涵
They’re not seeing the most important thing.
今天是周一 也是媒体解禁日
Today is Monday. And that’s the ‘Embargo’ Date.
你知道”解禁日”是什么意思吗
Do you know what an ‘Embargo’ is?
我就不知道 还为此出了点麻烦
‘Cause I didn’t. And I got in trouble for not knowing.
媒体解禁日
10月18日
距发♥售♥日还剩两天
解禁日的意思就是你选个日期
An Embargo I guess is: You set a date
过了这天媒体就可以发表评论了
when press can review your game.
十二点刚过去
So, 12 o’clock rolls around.
我在刷新推特上的”通知”列表
And I start refreshing ‘Twitter mentions’.
你能搜到提及《超级肉肉哥》的推文
You can search who’s talking about Super Meat Boy.
然后各种评论就跳出来了
And reviews just start popping out.
然后我就开始引用评论发布推文
So, I just start grabbing quotes and posting them.
这一个说 体验超棒 5分制打4分
So we got: ‘A great experience 4 out of 5’
《超级食肉男孩》轻松把你逼疯
‘Super Meat Boy revels in driving you crazy,’
但也很容易让你疯狂上瘾
‘but you end up crazy in love.’
10分制打9分 来自Eurogamer
‘… 9 out of 10’, Eurogamer.
粗暴又滑稽 打满分 来自Console Arcade
‘Brutal and hilarious, 5 out of 5’. Console Arcade.
我’玩肉’这么些年
‘I’ve never felt so challenged and rewarded’
从未感到如此棘手而又满足感爆棚
‘in all my years playing with meat.’
我不知道这是谁说的 但我转发了
I don’t know who that is. But I posted it.
这一类的评论越来越多
All these reviews keep coming up.
但是我一直在想
And every single time, I’m thinking…
我一直在等负面的评价
I’m waiting for the really bad one.
我在等着看最差的评价
I’m waiting for the lowest review
肯定有人不喜欢这游戏
like some one has to hate it.
《超级食肉男孩》完全可以
‘Super Meat Boy can stand confidently’
和《马里奥》等其他经典平台游戏齐名
‘next to Mario and the rest of the platforming elite.’
这是XBLA上最好的游戏
‘It’s the best game on XBLA’.
这个游戏太棒了 满分 非常好玩
‘This game is wonderful: 10 out of 10, very addicting.’
这是一封写给电子游戏的情书
‘It’s a love letter to everything great about video games.’
这款游戏完全配得上伟大的评价
‘This is nothing short of greatness.’
这么好的游戏你怎能不买♥♥
‘How could you not pick this game up?’
快买♥♥吧 满分
‘Buy it now! ‘ ‘5 out of 5!’
这些评论飞速增加
They just kept coming and kept coming.
我完全没想到 完全没有
I did not expect this. At all.
这真的不是我期望的评论
I honestly did not expect these reviews.
现在就买♥♥ 满分10分
‘Get this game now!’ ’10 out of 10.”
5分里给4分 10分里给9分
‘4.5 out of 5’ ‘9 out of 10’,
10分里给9.5分
‘9.5 out of 10.’
跟《辐射》在同一天上线开放评论
It’s weird to be launching the same time as ‘Fallout’…
结果得分还更高 实在太诡异了
and be getting reviews that are almost better.
辐射 新维加斯
太奇怪了
Like, that’s weird.
