Why are you so into games?
One ofNIMASO 's game-loving staff members replied that games allow them to experience such fantasies with their very own bodies.
That's certainly true. There are things like sports that you experience with your body, but those are real. Games are a unique form of entertainment that allows you to experience fantasies that don't exist in this world. Games allow you to have such experiences in a variety of situations, anytime, anywhere.
However, 10 years ago, if you said "games," most people probably thought of PC games. In the last few years, if you say "games," people will always be stalked and asked, "Is it a PC game? Or a smartphone game?"
So when did we become like this?
Every year at Apple's fall event, when discussing the performance of the iPhone, they emphasize the comfort of playing games. Now, when they announce the iPhone 14 series (tentative) this year, they will definitely talk about the comfort of playing games.
Since the implementation of the iTunes App Store in 2008, Apple has contributed greatly to creating one of the most dynamic gaming markets.
In particular, the iPhone 3 GS, released in 2009, was the first portable game console equipped with an acceleration sensor. The 3GS is an iPhone model that many people are not familiar with. However, the iPhone 3 GS, released 13 years ago, already had features such as a 3 megapixel autofocus camera, video recording, tethering function, voice control (hands-free voice control), accessibility, and a digital compass. In other words, from that time on, Apple had the idea that the iPhone was not just a mobile phone.
The iPhone 4, which came out afterwards and received the most praise in the history of the iPhone, was smaller and had a flat design with tempered glass instead of a rounded polycarbonate back.
In addition, 12 years later, the iPhone 14 series (tentative), scheduled to be released this fall, is expected to be the most beautiful model in the history of iPhones . For this iPhone 14 series, the most beautiful iPhone in history, NIMASO has improved the performance of the glass film and strives to provide customers with higher quality products. It is easier to apply and feels even smoother than previous products.The NIMASO iPhone 14 series (tentative) glass film may be better for gaming than our previous products. Let's play games together!
NIMASO conducted a survey of its in-house staff and compiled its own original [History of the Development of Smartphone Games]. Are there any games among them that hold special memories for you? Let's take a look at [History of the Development of Smartphone Games] together with NIMASO.
In the history of smartphone game development selected by NIMASO staff, the game that can be considered a milestone is "Angry Birds."
I think Angry Birds was the first game to show developers that the iPhone's glass touchscreen was a new control interface. It was one of the most addictive games we've ever had the pleasure of playing, and it was incredibly user-friendly - just swipe and release your finger to control it.
It has received high praise, with one commenting, "Like Fruit Ninja, which was released around the same time, it's super fun and easy, and anyone can get used to it right away. Playing it is a real stress reliever!!!"
"The genius feature of this game is the controls," said a NIMASO staff member. "It was the first time that the world learned that you could enjoy a game without using a touch screen."
It's "Doodle Jump," which was released in 2009! It's a game that came out at the same time as "Angry Birds."
"Doodle Jump" makes use of the iPhone's accelerometer, allowing almost all controls to be performed simply by tilting the iPhone left and right, and this innovative control system was often imitated by many subsequent game apps.
"Pokémon GO was one of the first gaming apps to use augmented reality in a spectacular way!!! It is by far the biggest success of all time," said a NIMASO staff member who has been enjoying the game ever since it was released.
This game stands out among them, and has created enthusiastic fans of all ages. Players can use GPS to discover, capture, and train Pokémon in a world that combines the real and digital worlds, and the streets are filled with people running around looking at their iPhone displays. Pokémon GO has become a game that transcends various frameworks, such as occupation and age.
Finally, I would like to introduce you to a game app called " Up Spell ," in which you compete to make English words from seven letters. This game was installed on a prototype iPod touch made over 10 years ago, and is an internal test app that has been ported almost exactly as it was. The creator is Kenneth Kocienda (who retired in 2017), who developed the software keyboard for the first iPhone. If you're interested, please give it a try.
