Game Design: Players are moved to tears

Chapter 112 AR Game
Ghost Valley and Eight Wastelands!

When the final winner of the special prize came out, everyone was surprised and felt that it was natural at the same time.

Everyone is either a long-known B-level or a well-known A-level in the country, and they all have their own judgment abilities.

It is no surprise that a game like "Ghost Valley Eight Wilds" won the championship.

What surprised everyone was——

The chief designer who developed this game, Liu Wei, was an obscure college student last year.

In just over a year, he achieved a miraculous transformation from an intern designer to a B-level designer.

What's even more terrifying is that Liu Wei seems to be making progress all the time.

Crossing from one field to another, it feels like an old designer who has been in the industry for more than ten years.

Every time, the ideas are wild and unconstrained, completely beyond everyone's expectations.

During the award ceremony, a host said:

""Guigu Bahuang" won the crown with its unique gameplay features, and its colorful and diverse genres are even more amazing. Based on the Classic of Mountains and Seas and ancient myths and legends as the main line, it has promoted the vast Chinese culture to us and the world .”

"It is true that "Guigu Bahuang" has shortcomings such as difficulty in getting started and unbalanced genres, but the high degree of freedom makes up for this shortcoming..."

"Just like the 'way of heaven', 'the way of earth' and 'the way of humanity' in the game, the rules of becoming immortals are the same. The way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency when there is more damage, and the way of man is to make up for the deficiency when there is more damage."

"The domestic game market also needs to learn from this experience. It must actively learn from beneficial experiences and urgently improve its own gameplay instead of just reskinned games!"

The words of the host of the Golden Game Awards completely established the victory of "Guigu Bahuang", which means that this time the championship was a careful decision made after many aspects of thinking.

From a layman's perspective, this is a good thing.

The domestic game market has been dominated by two major companies for too long and has become a stagnant water. New people are needed to stir up this stagnant water.

As for whether the result is good or bad, no one cares.

The important thing is that if you want to make progress, you need to make changes first.

But in the eyes of insiders, this official statement revealed a lot of information, and this information may very well mean that the entire domestic game market will be in turmoil.

……

Experience the store.

Ling Jingwen was holding a crystal trophy and posing in various poses for photos.

The trophy is of regular size and made of pure transparent crystal. On the top is the iconic red and white console that represents the gaming industry, and on the bottom is a line of small words engraved -

The winner of the [-]th Golden Game Award - "Guigu Bahuang" Fumei Technology.

"Senior, please be careful, don't break it. I haven't taken the picture yet." Chen Yaohui, who was holding a mobile phone, saw Ling Jingwen making a dangerous move and immediately reminded him carefully.

Ling Jingwen waved her hand: "I'll pay attention. Are you okay? I'm going to change my posture."

Chen Yaohui had no choice but to continue taking pictures pitifully. When he saw Liu Wei, he couldn't help complaining: "Boss, don't you care about my senior sister? This is your hard work."

Liu Wei waved his hand nonchalantly: "Let her play with it as she pleases. If it breaks, just get another one after three years."

Everyone: "..."

We like the confidence of the boss in speaking, but are you a little too arrogant?
Liu Wei smiled mysteriously.

He was not bragging, but came to a conclusion based on analysis of the actual situation.

Although Tianyu's "The Legend of Sword" is very good, in terms of plot, not to mention the previous "Sword of Sword One", even "Sword of Sword Two" cannot compare.

You must know that "Sword and Sword II" is a half-finished product, and the plot is a mess.

In this regard, "The Legend of Sword" cannot compare.

How could Liu Wei not win the championship?

But from another level, this is also because domestic games have been controlled by Fujii and Tianyi for too long.

Focusing too much on profits and ignoring the original intention of the game to bring joy and joy to players.

I even forgot to convey the designer’s ideas through the game.But this is also normal.

Think about it, you have worked so hard to develop a triple-A masterpiece for ten years.

The result is not even comparable to the sales of one skin of a mobile game, and no one can accept it.

This is also an important reason why domestic games have stagnated for a long time.

"It's time to make a new game."

Liu Wei gave up his plan to take a three-month break and suddenly had the idea of ​​​​making a new game.

"It's time to come up with a game product to prove to everyone that a good enough game can not only convey the designer's concept, but also make money!"

Liu Wei's idea is very simple.

Isn’t it true that the domestic game market is addicted to making money, so no company is willing to invest in developing new games?
Then create a new river by yourself and prove it to everyone.

Innovative games that can make money!

And it’s very profitable!
……

Early in the morning.

Chen Yaohui walked in with big and small boxes in his arms and complained:

"Boss, why did you buy so many things? I'm exhausted."

Putting down the carton with a clang, Chen Yaohui rubbed his arms.

On the other side, Ling Jingwen yawned and walked out of the room. She was shocked when she saw the cardboard boxes that took up half of the room.

"What, what is this?!"

Zeng Meixue ran around the carton excitedly: "I like to open express delivery the most, let me do it."

Liu Wei casually picked up a cardboard box the size of a rice cooker and said, "AR equipment."

"AR equipment!" Chen Yaohui's eyes lit up and he ran to the 'hill' like the wind, "Are these all?"

Liu Wei nodded.

Chen Yaohui muttered softly with his eyes shining: "With so many devices, how long will I be able to play, mom, I have found heaven."

"Junior, why did you buy so many AR devices?"

"I'm going to enter AR games, let's see how the level is first."

With that said, Liu Wei tore open a courier package and fell into deep thought while looking at the AR equipment in front of him.

An object the size of a pair of glasses and a cell phone?

Liu Wei opened other AR devices and found that they were similar.

Basically, it is a structure of a host plus a pair of glasses. The host is responsible for providing energy and collecting data. The glasses are the monitor, and two in-ear headphones hang below the frame.

Liu Wei found a random device and tried it for half an hour. After taking off his glasses, he rubbed his eyes and felt a little dizzy.

AR games are also so-called augmented reality games.

It is a game that creates game characters based on reality.

Although it's complicated to say, it's almost like turning on the console, putting on glasses, and you can see Hatsune Miku in your room.

But it is limited to visual and auditory feedback, and no other senses of smell or touch are available.

The advantage is that compared to VR games, the price is very cheap.

And it’s not like VR games are too real, fear of addiction, and have obvious play time limits.

The disadvantage is that because it is cheap, the works on the market are both good and bad.

Liu Wei said: "It looks like it's easy to make money."
