Popular new mobile game targets China’s Zen-generation
A new mobile game called Travel Frog has taken China by storm. This game was developed by Hit-Point Co, a Japanese company. It starts with a tiny frog sitting at home. What it does is reading, writing, eating and traveling. You have to prepare food and travel supplies such as a cup, lantern, rice bowl and amulet (in case it encounters danger outside). While it is on its trip, it will send you a photo of it at famous Japanese historic sites. It will also bring you some special gifts after its journey.
最近,由一家叫Hit-Point的日本游戏公司开发的一款手游风靡中国,它叫旅行青蛙。游戏从一只蹲在家里的青蛙开始,它每天的行踪就是床上看书,桌前写日记,吃饭,旅行。你需要给它准备食物和旅行用品,比如水杯、灯笼、饭碗和护身符(保佑它在外的安全)。当它开始旅行时,会给你寄它与日本各个名胜古迹的合影,回家后还会送你一些特产。
The most interesting thing you can do while playing this game is patiently "wait," because the frog's traveling time is not fixed. Whether it wants to go out or go home depends on it. The players can't set a time, and don't know the progress of the game. It is possible for it to stay at home reading a book for a whole day; likewise, it is likely to travel for two or more days. At this time, you can only comfort yourself, "Whatever will be, will be."
玩这个游戏最有趣的事情就是,耐心等待,因为蛙儿子回家的时间不是固定的,它去留随意,玩家也不能设定时间,还不知道游戏的进度。蛙儿子有可能在家看一整天书,也可能外出两天都不回来,这时候你只能安慰自己:“一切随缘。”
When playing this game, I seem to play the same role as my mother: preparing food or anxiously waiting at home, yet I'm also happy to see it making new friends in different places. It often leaves without saying goodbye, but when I do see it at home and writing in its diary, I feel tranquility in my heart. "No matter how far it goes, as long as it comes back." How touching!
玩这个游戏时,我仿佛扮演了我妈妈的角色:不是为蛙儿子准备食物,就是焦急地等它回家,然而,当看到它又交了新朋友时,我依旧很开心。虽然它离家出走时连句“再见”也没有,但当我看到它坐在桌前安静地写日记时,我又感到很暖心,“无论它走多远,只要回来就好”。多令人感动啊!
However, I feel guilty as well. In real life, I am the frog. I often enjoy happiness and freedom, and leave anxiety and worry to my mother. I don't even share my photos with her when I go on a trip. These days I often see my friends showing off how intimate their frogs are, because their frogs brought them many gifts, and how anxious my friends are, because their frogs ran away from home. Just as my mother did when I won achievements and when I was away from home. "You'd rather care more about a virtual frog and don't really care about your mother," my boss said to me. How selfish I am!
燃鹅,我也会感到内疚。因为在现实生活中,我是那只青蛙,我经常在享受欢乐与自由时,把烦恼和焦虑抛给妈妈,我甚至都不会在外出旅游时和她一起分享旅行照片。这些天我经常看到我的朋友们在朋友圈中晒他们的蛙儿子有多体贴,因为给他们带了礼物,也会看到他们对蛙儿子有多焦虑,因为它总不回家,正如我取得进步时或者身处他乡时,我妈妈的做法一样。“你宁愿关心一只虚拟的青蛙,也不愿多关心下你妈妈!”我的boss提醒我。我好自私!
But this game does have its charms. Sina.com.cn recently published an article saying that Travel Frog is now the most downloaded free game on the App Store. So why is this game popular?
但,这个游戏确实有它的独特之处!Sina.com.cn最近发布了一篇文章说,旅行青蛙已经是App Store里免费下载榜单中的第一名了!为啥它那么火呢?
Recently, an internet buzzword has become popular among China's post-1990s generation, "Zen-generation." It refers to the Buddha-like attitude of Chinese youth. We now pay more attention to our inner selves and don't want to be disturbed by outside things. In the Zen-generation's opinion, playing competitive games is led by the nose by the game companies, though you seem to be stronger in the game. But keeping an untrammeled frog is different.
最近,网络上有一个形容90后的词“佛系青年”,意思是有着像佛一样生活态度的年轻人,我们更关注自己内心想要什么,而不会过多地被外界事物打扰,在佛系青年眼中,玩竞技类游戏时,即使你很牛,但也不过是被游戏公司牵着鼻子走,但养一只蛙就不一样。
Because of another popular new game, Love and Producer, China's female gamer market is finally being vigorously explored. Most of my friends who play Love and Producer are girls. Unlike many competitive games more suitable for boys, the style of this game is lovely and with lively music. It is easy to operate, and there is no plot that can take you a lot of time.
因为恋与制作人的热潮,中国女性玩家的市场被大力发掘,我身边多数玩恋与制作人的朋友都是女生。和很多适合男生玩的竞技类游戏不同,旅行青蛙的画风很萌,背景音乐也很欢快,它很容易上手,而且没有可能浪费你时间的大量的剧情。
Travel Frog doesn't set any level to induce the players to pay. It's a good thing for people like me who want to play games but don't want to spend money. I like animals, but I think it's a complicated thing to keep a pet in real life. In this game, I can keep a frog, and while waiting for it, it will send me gifts unexpectedly. Who doesn't want to keep a quiet, independent pet?
这款游戏没有设置任何需要付费的关卡,对于我这样想玩游戏又不想花钱的人来说简直是福音!我很喜欢动物,但又觉得在现实生活中养一只动物太累,不如在游戏中养一只蛙,而且,在等蛙的过程中,不经意间你还能收到它带给你的小礼物,谁不想养一只安静又独立的宠物呢?
Oh, I just noticed my frog is back, and I'm going to see what it has brought to me. Then make a call to greet my mother.
噢!我刚看到我的蛙儿子回来了,我准备去看看它给我带了啥~然后,我要给妈妈打个电话问候一下~
(好吧……应该叫 “旅行青蛙” 而不是青蛙旅行,请无视这个bug……我不是个合格的蛙麻麻
