Game Design: Players are moved to tears

Chapter 65
Zhou Yi quickly found the game "Almighty Knight Adventure".

Double-click the icon to start the game.

Rationally speaking, Cai Zhi's "The Adventure of the Almighty Knight" can be described as full of creativity.

Although it is an old-fashioned Dragon Quest plot.

But the knight has three different weapons, sword, shield, spear, and giant shield with three different attack modes.

The sword and shield can launch a double jump, which is used to jump over some very long traps.

Changmao shoots out the spear and uses it to reach places that are normally inaccessible.

The giant shield can launch a violent surprise attack, knocking out the monsters in front of you.

It is a classic puzzle game.

But it's a pity...Zhou Yi's gaming talent is not focused on decryption, coupled with the rich impression left by the previous "Atlantis".

The publicity for Mighty Knight Adventures had the opposite effect.

Looking at the knight on the screen who fell to the bottom of the valley and died again, Zhou Yi's face turned pale.

Friends in the live broadcast room also started to advise:
"Let's change the game. This game doesn't seem interesting."

"It's just that, it doesn't have the excitement of riding a motorcycle at all."

"Is this all the returnees?"

"Zhou Yi, listen to my brothers' advice. If you can't play this game, you'd better play a simple and crude racing game."

Zhou Yi was almost crying.

She also wants to play a game that doesn’t require too much brain power, like racing, but the problem is that she is the anchor of the platform.

There must be certain publicity tasks, otherwise money will be deducted.

So...she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue the live broadcast.

……

On the other side, on the player bench.

Chen Yaohui was slumped on his chair with a look of disappointment on his face. When he got closer, he could still vaguely hear: "My games, I have so many games."

Ling Jingwen frowned and was about to say something.

But Liu Wei stopped him directly: "Forget it, let him vent."

Liu Wei understood Chen Yaohui's current inner fluctuations very well.

It's like when he was a kid and got [-] points in the test, his parents said they would take him out to experience farmhouse fun, but instead he ended up doing farm work in the fields.

The mood is very broken and complicated.

Ling Jingwen glanced at the huge broadcast screen, nodded unobtrusively, and then looked at Liu Wei:

"Junior, we must be number one this time!"

Liu Wei said: "Not necessarily."

Ling Jingwen was surprised: "So many players are playing your game now, and you actually say you are not sure?"

Liu Wei pursed his lips and smiled.

If he were to participate in an overseas exhibition, he could now slap his chest and shout "Who else?!"

But it's a pity that this is a domestic and official competition, so I can't shout.

Although at Blue Star, the importance and significance of creativity far exceeds all attributes.

But in China, after all, there is a mysterious group of "harmonious and friendly parents".

This is a group of big guys who even have harmonious skills icons. Faced with a game like "Atlantis" that obviously contains the word "violence", it is impossible to have no objections.

Liu Wei's guess was correct.

Now the official commentary box is almost scolding backstage.

Two groups of people pointed at each other and yelled at each other, while a few others stayed out of the incident, looking like they were watching the show. "I don't agree. I firmly disagree that this kind of game can participate in the competition." A middle-aged man in clothes said.

"That's right, is your review team all idiots? Can a game like "Violent Motor-Atlantis" that obviously contains the word 'violence' pass the review?" Someone immediately echoed.

But someone immediately began to retort: ​​"Hey, what are you talking about? You can only know whether a game is good or not after playing it. Isn't it too hasty to dismiss the game just based on its name?"

The middle-aged man in clothes and leather shoes let out a 'huh' and said disdainfully: "If you can't even name a game well, what qualifications do you have to participate in it?"

"That's right. And if you look at the content of this game, it's racing, fighting with fists, and using chains. What are you doing? This is clearly teaching bad children!" Those who fit the criteria immediately followed.

At this time, the onlookers seemed to be infected and chose to join the battlefield:

"I think Lao Song is right. The essence of games is to bring happiness and educational significance to players. If a game promotes violence, then it is understandable to ban it from competition."

"Not only that, I strongly urge everyone to ban the designer who designed this game. What will happen if a child sees such a violent game? Will he learn to be bad? Flowers are learning to be bad, and society is regressing!" A female reviewer made the final remarks.

The hat was placed on this one, and even the selectors who were obviously supportive looked embarrassed.

This hat is too big, it will teach young people badly and hinder social progress.

Although everyone knows that this is an almost impossible thing.

How can a game teach bad things to children if the parents have enough company?

But everyone looked at each other and didn't dare to speak.

I don’t dare to gamble, I don’t dare to gamble.

If there is a mentally retarded person who likes to play mahjong and gamble, regardless of the child's parents, if the child plays this game again and commits crimes again, the pot will be big.

Seeing this, the female reviewer showed a successful smile, and the voice of a male duck suddenly sounded:
"In that case, let's vote by a show of hands."

Soon, the ticket type appeared.

There were nine judges present, and five supported excluding the game from the competition.

But the remaining four people were not vegetarians and chose to abstain one after another.

Anyway, the rule is that only if more than half of the designers decide that they do not comply with the competition rules, they can participate.

I can’t object, so I can’t abstain?

"Only half...it looks like this game will continue to compete." A strange voice came from the abstention crowd, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

The female reviewer's face turned pale and she said, "Humph, don't be complacent. There is still one person who hasn't come back. If he agrees, he will be kicked out of the game."

The laughter of the abstaining crowd suddenly fell silent.

As far as they knew, the remaining judge seemed to have a vague relationship with Liu Wei.

On the surface it looks very close, but people familiar with it know that there are great conflicts between the two parties.

It is said... He was not originally the judge this time, but he borrowed the power of the company behind him to become the judge.

"Hey, everyone is here? What are we talking about?"

Just then, the last judge appeared.

The uninhibited tone and casual attitude seemed to be a little dismissive of everyone present.

Everyone turned their heads to look in unison.

A somewhat lazy figure stood at the door, with an indifferent smile on his face——

Yin Huahui!
The organizer of the Magic City Fantasy Contest is the regional head of Fujii Technology and a B-level designer.

This level, among others, can only be considered below average.

But if you add a prefix to this level, it is an existence that everyone must pay attention to.

The youngest B-level designer in China—obtained the title of B-level designer at the age of 21.

If nothing unexpected happens, it is possible to be promoted to an A-level designer within five years, and he is also the most likely candidate to be promoted to an S-level designer in the country.
