Reborn Game Pioneer

Chapter 1 National College Student Game Design Competition

"Old Gu!"

The young man who was sitting in a daze on his seat was startled by the sudden shout.

Gu Feng rubbed his ears. With his head buzzing, he looked at the culprit on the side with a dissatisfied look on his face: "What's the ghost's name?"

In my memory, the name of the guy in front of me is Xu Shiyu. Like him, he is from the capital of Sichuan. His family owns a hotpot restaurant. There are hundreds or thousands of chain stores at least. He is a real big business.

"I've been calling you for a long time but you didn't get any response." Xu Shiyu glanced at him speechlessly, "If you don't talk about this, how are you doing in school recruiting?"

Gu Feng was stunned for a moment, and his mood suddenly dropped a lot.

He does not belong to this world. He does not know what is going on with the original owner named Gu Feng. He only knows that he may have dedicated himself to 996 Blessings.

He didn't know whether his situation was time travel or something. He worked overtime as usual, and when his eyes darkened, he woke up again and found himself in this strange environment. He was still in a state of confusion, and there were a lot of things that didn't belong to him. His own memories were poured into his mind.

The whole morning of meditation was not only digesting the memory of the original owner, but also hesitating about the future.

Listening to Xu Shiyu's question, Gu Feng said expressionlessly: "It's not good, we should do something about it."

"What's wrong with that? Do you really want to repeat a grade? How about I call you my old man and give you an internship offer first? You can finish your studies first."

Gu Feng understands what he means. In his memory, he still has three required courses that he has failed. The universities in this world are no different from those in his previous life. In order to have a good employment rate, as long as you can get an offer, it is completely okay to fail the courses. Flexible.

Gu Feng smiled gratefully. He hesitated and shook his head: "Thanks, there are still two months left. I'll think about it again."

He didn't agree directly because he didn't like to owe favors. To be more precise, he didn't want to trouble others.

But he didn't refuse immediately, because he was not very used to it when he first arrived. After all, the current situation of the original owner was not optimistic. If there was no other way, Xu Shiyu might have to use this method.

"Okay, anyway, if you have something to say, you don't have to be polite. We brothers don't need to be polite. Then think about it slowly, I'll go play."

After saying this, the guy ran away in a hurry.

He was the only one left in the dormitory. Gu Feng started to stay still again. He had finished absorbing the memories. In order to adapt to the new identity and new environment as soon as possible, he had to sort it out.

From his memory, he found that the development track of this world is very strange, science and technology is advancing rapidly, from entering the electrical age to today's artificial intelligence has entered thousands of households in less than a hundred years, which is outrageous.

Then he discovered a strange phenomenon.

Compared with the flourishing and prosperous culture and entertainment industries such as music, film and television, online literature, and games in the previous life, if he could evaluate the development of this world in the field of culture and entertainment, he could only describe it in two words: abnormal.

Subconsciously, people will think that products derived from advanced technology are also advanced. This view sounds very reasonable, but under the premise of the great technological leap in this world, there is a problem. Just imagine, as soon as VR technology came out, game manufacturers still Will you pay attention to the development of mobile games and PC games?Yes, but I definitely don't pay attention to it.

The game industry, which has a short development time and lacks experience, encounters the epoch-making virtual reality technology. To use the simplest analogy, it is like a child who has never seen a bicycle and directly entered the cockpit of an airplane.

What about the splits?Damn it!Gu Feng complained silently.

Returning to himself, he is now a senior at the School of Game Development and Design at Imperial College of Art.My parents are still alive, and I have a sister who is a third-year graduate student at the same school.To make an analogy, the Imperial Art Academy is a bit like the Beijing Film Academy in the previous life. The only difference is that the status of games in this world is much higher than in the previous life, and it is an industry that is truly classified as the ninth art.

The original owner was also a top student in the past, and got admitted purely based on his academic performance. However, he did not resist the temptation in college and studied games. He did not learn much, but he had fun playing. He failed more than a dozen subjects in his junior year. Parents were invited.

As he was about to graduate, he realized that he would never graduate. With no way out, he regarded the annual National College Student Campus Game Design Competition as his last straw.

The value of this competition is quite high. It can be said that as long as you win the prize, you can go out to find a job, which is better than the Imperial Art Academy brand.So basically all seniors majoring in gaming will participate. After all, as long as you win an award, it will be a plus point on your resume.

This year's design theme is casual puzzle. The original owner worked hard for two months and submitted his masterpiece with full confidence. However, after a week, the data cannot be said to be unsatisfactory, but can only be said to be terrible.

The only comment was this: What a piece of rubbish. If I didn’t feel sorry for you, I wouldn’t even give you a single point.

Thinking of this, Gu Feng couldn't help laughing.

The original owner may not be mad at this comment, he speculated with malicious intent.

After laughing for a few seconds, his smile suddenly froze. The person who made the comment was Gu Feng. I am Gu Feng now. As soon as the original owner left, it was me who was scolded. I was the clown myself?

He didn't hesitate anymore, turned on the computer directly, logged into the competition's event webpage, searched for the name of the entry uploaded by the original owner - "Banana Man's Adventure", and hit Enter!

Seeing the data that was exactly the same as in his memory, Gu Feng put his hand on his forehead and closed his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, I glanced at the ranking, 80396...

I took another look at the information next to the page number below. There were 81036 items in total.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he thought he knew why the original owner was gone.

It goes without saying that the competition is very popular, but Gu Feng knows very well that many of the more than 8 works must be just for fun. The contestants may not even be gaming professionals, and they are purely interested in participating.

The reason why the original owner is so low in the rankings is partly because the game is bad, but also partly because he didn't find relatives and friends to help support him.

After opening "Banana Man Adventure", he decided to try it himself.

However, only 5 minutes passed...

Gu Feng quickly quit the game and felt relieved.

Originally, he wanted to see if there was any room for salvage for the original owner's game, but now it seems that he can only say that it is hopeless and he should wait to die...

Delete this game without any nostalgia. It is impossible to keep it. What is left waiting for you cannot be a miracle, it can only be a dark history that will be uncovered in the future.

After calming down, he began to think.

The road to optimizing current works is definitely dead, but Gu Feng has no intention of giving up this opportunity.

Although there are only 5 days left before the end of the competition, if you want to win a prize, you still need to reserve some time for fermentation, and of course the longer the better.

So he had to design and produce a game as quickly as possible, and then immediately find someone to promote it.

Originally, 5 days just to design the game was actually very demanding. After all, he couldn't get a Minesweeper or Snake to go up, so deciding which game to make was very important.

Gu Feng was originally a senior algorithm engineer with a strong foundation in programming. In addition, the intelligent programming technology in this world is quite advanced. If he just designs a simple game, he can handle the programming alone.

After some thought, he listed a few key points: small size, low art requirements, simple gameplay, simple level design, low numerical requirements, and low music and sound effects requirements.And on the premise that these conditions are met, it still needs to be popular.

He recalled those classic casual puzzle games in his past life.

"Plants vs. Zombies"?No, the numerical value is very important. If the balance is too poor, you may die suddenly...

"angry Birds"?No, the numerical values ​​are also difficult to adjust, and this game has too many interactions with object collisions in a short period of time, making it too easy for bugs to occur. It is almost impossible to adjust it in a short time...

"Defend Carrot"?In my impression, the rating was average, mainly because he had never played it in his previous life and only knew it was a tower defense game, so he skipped it decisively...

One game after another was eliminated by him, and just when he was hesitating whether to just give it a go with "Plants vs. Zombies", a game suddenly came into his mind.

Damn it!How could I forget it!

He finally no longer has to hesitate. In front of this game, it can be said that all casual puzzle games are like younger brothers.

Quickly opening the built-in editor on the competition web page and creating a new game, he tapped the keyboard skillfully and typed out the familiar name.

Have fun!
