Game Design: Players are moved to tears

Chapter 61

Sign up on site.Another luxury car drove up and down, and all kinds of people came and went.

It dwarfs ordinary people like Liu Wei.

While everyone was lining up, Zeng Jianye introduced the simple selection rules.

"The selection rules for this competition are not much different from the previous ones."

“It’s still based on players’ experience data, supplemented by the judges’ evaluations.”

"I remember there were ten judges in total. If more than half of the judges felt that the game work was unqualified, they would be disqualified. However, it seems that I haven't seen anyone disqualified in so many years."

"The game awards are divided into several categories: Best Game, Best Action, Best Music, Best Casual, Best Story, and Best Art."

Liu Wei suddenly asked: "Can multiple games participate in the competition at the same time?"

Zeng Jianye glanced at Liu Wei with strange eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Theoretically, yes, after all, the rules do not state that each person can only participate in one game."

"But I don't recommend it?"

Chen Yaohui immediately asked: "Why? The more games you participate in, the higher the probability of winning, shouldn't it?"

Ling Jingwen took the initiative to take over the topic: "First of all, it's because of energy. People's energy is limited. If there are multiple games participating, it is very likely that you will not win any game awards."

Liu Wei raised his eyebrows: "What if it's a genius like me?"

Call ~
Ling Jingwen took a deep breath and then said angrily: "This involves another selection rule. A game should win one game award as much as possible. If the same contestant has already won the award, other awards will be selected later. Depend on."

Liu Wei understood.

The official selection is different. It focuses on ensuring the interests of the majority of people. With so many awards, there must be one suitable for children from different backgrounds.

"However..." Ling Jingwen seemed to have thought of something, and added: "Not necessarily, as long as your game quality is high enough, you can also win other game awards."

Isn't it another high-ranking cadre's son coming down to get gold plating?

Liu Wei's heart was full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

After registering, Liu Wei got familiar with the exhibition area where he was.

It has to be said that official competitions are luxurious.

The competition venue is tens of thousands of square meters, and each person has an exhibition area of ​​dozens of square meters, which is much larger than the Magic City Competition.

As for the zoning, Liu Wei was assigned to Zone A, which was almost the prime area of ​​the venue.

This is entirely because Liu Wei has worked hard with his own strength in the past period of time.

"Brave the Dungeon", "Magic Tower" and "Red Alert"

Any of these three games will have a place in Zone B.

When three games are created by one person, it is natural to have an exhibition area in Area A.

When everyone was getting familiar with the divisions, Ling Jingwen suddenly looked into the distance and exclaimed:
"Hey, why did he come to participate?"

Liu Wei followed his gaze and saw a college student wearing a suit and leather shoes being surrounded by crowds of people.

With a sunny face, he greeted the people around him.

Liu Wei asked curiously: "Who is this?"

In his own memory, there seems to be no deeds of this person.

But looking at everyone's performance, this person seems to be very famous.

Ling Jingwen replied with a solemn expression: "Cai Zhichu is a very powerful enemy."

"He participated in the competition when he was a freshman. Although he didn't get results, his creativity was favored by major companies."

"I heard that when I was a freshman, I went to an overseas storm company as an intern as an exchange student, and it caused quite a stir that year."

"But as time went by, Cai Zhichu gradually faded out of the public eye. I originally thought that he would not participate in the competition, but I didn't expect that this year..."

Liu Wei understood, this guy is a purebred genius.

You can participate in competitions as a freshman, and your creativity can be favored by major game companies. What is this but genius?
I still need to take advantage of the time traveler, which relies directly on talent.

Sure enough, life is a surreal game.

Cheating is not as good as Ou Huang. "So is his game this time VR or AR?"

"No..." Ling Jingwen shook her head: "It is almost certain that his game must be on PC."

"Why?" Liu Wei was puzzled.

Ling Jingwen explained: "Remember when I said he was an intern at Baofeng Company?"

"Baofeng Company is a very special game company. As an industry leader that emerged in the last century, all its games are on PC."

""StarCraft" and "Orcs Are Never Slaved" are all his works."

"When VR and AR games are sweeping the world, Baofeng Games is not unconventional. It still adheres to its own unique concept and focuses on developing PC games."

Ling Jingwen twirled her hair with her fingers: "However, the situation of Baofeng Company has not been very good in the past few years. The main creative team has resigned, and the development of new games is far away. It seems that Baofeng Company has announced the launch of a reset version."

Hearing this, Liu Wei felt vaguely familiar.

Think about it more carefully.

Knock, isn’t this the Blizzard Company in the previous life?

It took more than ten years to make junk products from Blizzard, which must be high-quality products.

Thinking of this, Liu Wei's eyes changed when he looked at Cai Zhichu.

In any case, he is an intern at Baofeng Company and has learned Baofeng Company’s game philosophy.

If it’s the company’s philosophy after the main creative team leaves, that’s nothing to be afraid of.

But if it's the company's philosophy before the main creative company leaves...Liu Wei needs to think about it.

"Forget it, let's not talk about him, we should go back to make games." Ling Jingwen grabbed Chen Yaohui who was going to ask for an autograph.

Said to the remaining two people.

Everyone nodded, but the atmosphere was quite solemn.

……

a month later.

Liu Wei, who was working in the studio, suddenly rang his cell phone ringtone.

Liu Wei picked up his phone and saw that it was Wenyi Song.

"Hello, hello."

The other person quickly replied: "Hello Mr. Liu, Zhou Tangqian's album will be released in half a month. Do you need to promote it at that time?"

Liu Wei decisively refused: "You only need to say that it is a promotional song for a certain game, and don't say anything else."

Wenyi Song: "Okay."

For creative players like Liu Wei, half of the industry maintains a friendly attitude.

Maybe one day it will be asked to others.

hang up the phone.

Liu Wei showed a satisfied smile.

Not bad... everything is going on in an orderly manner, music promotion, game design.

Oh, yes, there are also peripheral game consoles.

Liu Wei quickly called Zhao Hao again: "How is the peripheral modification going?"

Zhao Hao sent some photos.

Liu Wei took a look... How should I put it? It had the temperament of a will-o'-the-wisp boy. It was colorful, with all kinds of neon lights flashing, and it was equipped with a loud speaker.

But the most eye-catching thing is the dashboard of the motorcycle.

Different from the two palm-sized dashboards on ordinary motorcycles, the modified dashboard is the size of a tablet.

Looks slightly bloated.
