I just want players to save money, but I was made the richest man.

Chapter 187 Who in the family understands! I’m here to present awards, not to receive them!
  IJN News Flash: Verbal and verbal abuse? No, their game deserves to be known to more people! A comprehensive review of the mechanics from "Braid" to "The Binding of Isaac"!

Gamespot: A well-deserved textbook series! Ready Player One is always at the forefront of gaming trends! Let me take you through this miracle created by a game company from a powerful Eastern country!

Gamasutra: From the perspective of a game developer, an in-depth analysis of the charm of "The Binding of Isaac"!
  ……

Almost overnight.

Most of Omi's game media reacted overnight! And the previous article about charging Wei Wangdi benefits to smear the number one player was deleted overnight.

The rush to hype up Ready Player One begins!

It’s not that information would really spread that fast, especially in the Omi market where the number one player was unfamiliar with the place, it would be very easy to suppress it.

But after these three games were unboxed live, any one of them was enough to shock the audience present!

Especially the subversive nature brought about by "The Binding of Isaac", during the few hours it was broadcast live last night, it can be said that the entire live broadcast room continued to climax one after another! All kinds of ‘oh no, thank you, buy it’

The intensity of the barrage has even reached the highest level in the Twitch gaming section throughout the year!
  All Omi players have eyes.

Previously, the news was blocked, resulting in a lot of news about the East Asian gaming industry being blocked.

Then, coupled with the fact that the number one player is suspected of provoking the Omega manufacturer Wei Wangdi, people can’t help but feel like, ‘Huh? Who are you? ’ sense of absurdity.

Available after the game has been thoroughly demonstrated.

This ‘who are you? ’ has become a sharp sword pointed at Wei Wangdi by Omi players.

That night, Weiwangdi's official Twitter was criticized by many players.

And among them, there are naturally a large number of Chinese players who love to join in the fun.

I didn’t know the truth before.

And due to the influence of the number one player in China.

Even though the top player in this incident remained silent throughout the incident and did not make any statement, many domestic media selectively did not report it.

Now that word-of-mouth has reversed, domestic media will rush out to spread the word, for fear of being too late and being robbed of all traffic.

Many Chinese players are beginning to understand the truth.

"No dude, do you Wei Wangdi really dare to touch porcelain? You're awesome!"

"You are really not afraid of my carved bangbang giving you two punches!"

"I smoked half a pack of Huazi and I still don't understand. How dare Wei Wangdi, a veteran? Before they promoted it, they really didn't search for any of Ready Player One's previous works, right?"

"All eyes are on me! I have an announcement! The number one player has officially become the father of Wei Wang Di!"

"Dad Wei Yi? Ke Yi'er! Look where there is still the sound of Wei Wang's flute. You think you are too young and I think you are too young!"

In addition to the crazy output of some brave players who are not afraid of overcoming the wall, there are also a small number of supporters of Weiwangdi.

"No, don't get too carried away. Weiwangdi still has influence in Omi. It is also Omi's largest gaming platform. Why is it so hot in your mouth?"

"The top player is here to fight against Wei Wangdi? Isn't it just this time that he has released a few good works?"

But soon, it was drowned out by more sounds.

"Brother, I think you have never seen the hey society in the gaming industry!"

"Didn't you Wei Wangdi also come to compete this time? Why weren't you selected? Did you not want to?"

"As long as you play more games released by Ready Player One, you will never be able to say this!"

"First let's find out the prices of games owned by Gamer One before we start barking! If Gravograph could learn from Tengjing and understand how to play with krypton gold, it would have become the world's largest game company by now!"

"I get angry when I talk about this! Gravograph is good at everything, but he can't even make fucking money!"

"I couldn't agree more. This is the first time I want to put money directly into the hands of a game company, and then kneel down and beg him to take my money!"

"I'm really afraid that this company will go bankrupt if it makes games..."

"It is recommended that the number one player vigorously introduces talents with krypton gold! Get more krypton gold gift packages!"

"Teng Jing: Is anyone thinking about me?"

"Wait a minute, I remember that the current general manager of Oasis, that Bao Jingbi, seems to be one of Tengjing's former bad planners, right? Guild warfare was invented by this guy. I used to scold him on his Weibo every day, Why did he suddenly change his conscience after coming to Ready Player One?”

"Gravograph is a charismatic person. He not only induces dogs to be good, but also deeply attracts the hearts/shyness/shyness of our players."

"The electronic succubus belongs to yes."

Compared with the previous public opinion campaigning done by Weiwangdi in the Oumi region, the trivial work done.

The real life depends on the Chinese player community!

Since the contents of Ready Player One’s three ‘textbooks’ have gradually spread.

The favorite thing for Chinese players to do is to go to the outside world to make risqué comments and make emoticons.

Come and ridicule Wei Wangdi's previous behavior.

Among them, the most widely circulated picture is undoubtedly a set of four-frame cartoons.

In the first picture, in an ancient battlefield filled with gunpowder, the two armies and horses faced each other. One of the generals stepped forward, with the three characters "Wei Wang Flute" above his head, shouting: Let me see whose general is so brave! Do you dare to fight me?
  In the second picture, the number one player is holding a halberd in his hand and wearing a red tassel on his head. The logo of "Braid" is affixed to his left arm, "Dead Cells" is on his right arm, and "The Binding of Isaac" is above his head. Behind the number one player , a tank was filled with logos of major games such as "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", "Mario", "Hollow Knight", and "Teamfight Tactics".

The third picture: Wei Wangdi is silent.

The fourth picture: Weiwang's flute head turned into "Ke Yi Er", his face was swollen, and he was kneeling on one knee to serve tea to his father.

Because the emoticon maker also thoughtfully translated it into a down-to-earth English version, once it was released, it went viral in the game sections of major media such as Twitter and TikTok.

Most of the Omi players were not angry at all. Instead, they found the emoticon to be a vivid image and treated it as a piece of fun to tell their gaming friends.

Over time, the name "Ke Yi'er" even became popular around the world.

Although the meaning of ridicule accounts for more, it is a counterattack force against the previous public opinion campaigns of Wei Wangdi.

But as the center of the vortex, Weiwangdi has not had a good time.

Although this kind of ridicule did not have any impact on his own industry, he really lost face.

What size of manufacturer is I, Wei Wangdi, and what size is your number one player?

Now the outside world thinks that your number one player beating my Wei Wangdi is as easy as a father beating his son?
  Simply nonsense!

For this reason, the board of directors of Weiwangdi also scolded Connor, the current general manager of the DF platform.

He also stated that if the matter cannot be dealt with in the follow-up and Weiwangdi's lost face is restored, the person in charge of the DF platform will be replaced.

……

And the country of China is far away on the other side of Blue Star.

Jiang Lin, the headquarters of Ready Player One.

After more than three years of development, Ready Player One is no longer what it used to be.

The three-story building is a bit underwhelming in terms of momentum, but if ordinary people passing by learned about the miraculous development speed of this company, they would probably stop and look up at the company without exception.

The signature figures at the entrance were life-size steel sculptures of Ellie and Amiya at the beginning of last year.

This year it has been replaced by a bearded plumber, and Ezio hiding in the shadows in a white robe.

"I heard that the room by the window on the left side of the third floor is the office of Ker Jin, the president and chief designer of Player One." A campus autumn outing group from the next city, the teacher led a group of children about seven or eight years old. Holding a small flag, he led the way and stopped at the headquarters of Ready Player One to give the children a brief explanation.

"Nowadays, many famous games in our country are inspired by that small office~" The young female teacher seemed to be a game fan of Ready Player One. When introducing her works, she was very knowledgeable and beautiful. His face was a little red with excitement.

"I really want to go in and have a look." The female teacher was talking about popular science, and she looked at the three-story building a little absent-mindedly.

"Teacher, when I grow up, I also want to be a game designer who can bring a lot of joy and excitement to players, just like a game designer." A little boy stood behind her, raising his little face, full of longing. looking.

From his perspective, the roof of Ready Player One's building was connected to the blue sky, making it look so tall.

After staying for a while, the female teacher waved the small flag in her hand and said: "Okay, okay, everyone is ready to leave. Our next stop is Jianglin Game Center. It is said that this venue was built last year and is the center of Jianglin Game Center." It was built by the Lin government specifically to promote the development of e-sports culture. After one year of construction, it has become a large open-air venue that can accommodate [-] people. It is even about to become a local landmark building in Jianglin City. Many gaming industries The competitions and activities of the game have also gradually moved from the Magic City to Jianglin within a year. I heard that the upcoming game design conference will also conduct the final selection here. Let’s go and take a look at that magnificent building. Let’s build a big building!”

"Click." As the teacher led the primary school students away gradually, Ke Jin, who was standing by the window on the third floor, also slowly looked away from the street, with a smile on his lips, and closed the window.

"Time flies so fast. It has been more than three years in a flash."

"When it was first established, the entire company seemed very empty. The only members of the company at that time were me, the lead artist, and Director Gou. But now..." Ke Jin sat back on the boss's chair with a sigh.

Secretary Qiao Yuan filled up Ke Jin's teacup with a teapot and said with a smile on her face.

"Now you are almost burdened with being an idol. Even many children regard you as their future role model."

Hearing this, Ke Jin originally wanted to refute.

I want to say something like, ‘Gamers can’t be role models’.

But on second thought.

The environment of Blue Star is different from that of the previous life, and the gaming industry is no longer like the era of electronic opium where everyone was shouting about beatings and electronic opium in the previous life around the millennium.

Even as a game maker, I subconsciously believe that game designers are not worthy of being role models for children.

Then the game industry in China really cannot develop.

"Alas, the poison of the last life was too profound. The idea that games = playing with things to lose one's ambition is still somewhat residual in this new life." Ke Jin sighed in his heart and shook off some of his unconfident thoughts.

Then he started to read the opinion selection report brought by Qiao Yuan.

This report is a collection of opinions from Ready Player One and all Oasis employees.

The first Game Design Conference of Ready Player One has come to an end and will be held in Jianglin Open-Air Game Center in three days. The final list of winners will be announced soon.

Ready Player One also had an urgent overtime shift internally to screen the games that had been selected and rate them.

In the end, it is up to Ke Jin to decide.

After glancing at the report, Ke Jin had the answer in his mind.

The overall opinions of the employees are almost consistent with my own.

The winner of the Best Creativity Award is Emilie, a game designer from a small Nordic country, for the platform jumping themed game - "Tianma Xingkong"

Perhaps it was inspired by the imagination of "The Fantasy of Time and Space".

In the work "The Unbridled Sky", imagination is also well represented.

In the game, the player controls a simple villain to continuously complete platform jumps until the level is cleared.

And its platform jumping method is very novel.

frame!

Emilie cleverly integrated the borders of the game interface into the scene.

Players need to use the mouse to stretch the outermost border of the game interface to continuously modify and adjust the height or width of the platform within the game body, and finally allow the character to pass the level.

Sometimes you can also use various icons on the computer desktop to drag them to the characters in the game so that they can be used.

Although the overall scalability of the game is not that strong, it is destined to be impossible to make a playable game based on this idea.

But the victory lies in the novelty of creativity, which defines that platform jumping is not limited to things in the game, but can also be used in things outside the game.

This award will also inspire more young designers to associate "interesting" and "divergent thinking".

Let them think outside the traditional framework.

Many times, the birth of new things requires breaking the rules.

Therefore, the support rate of this work among the entire Ready Player One is as high as over 93%.

Ke Jin also nodded in agreement.

As for the best game, the one that Jinxiang chose was "The Digger Trapped Underground" produced by the young Chinese designer Wang Tianrui.

2D pixel art style, pigeon theme.

The main gameplay is that the player controls a miner trapped underground.

Dig out a path to the ground in the gravel that covers the entire screen.

Kejin got started and experienced it.

This game, at first glance, has the thrill of digging in the sand.

Every time you dig, it feels like painting on PS white cloth with a thick ink pen. Players can freely express their "paintings"

The ‘salsa’ sound from digging the sofa is also very comforting.

Of course, if this kind of experience is biased towards personal preference, "Digger" will definitely not be able to beat the crowd and win the best design.

This game has more or less absorbed the essence of random combination of any item pool in "Isaac".

At first, the player can only control the miner to wave the small shovel in his hand and move upward slowly like a slow lawnmower.

But in this process, as more and more gravel is dug out, many props hidden in the gravel will be revealed.

After picking up these props, the original sand digging efficiency of the miner can be changed.

Some can dig three lines at once, and some can automatically pick up surrounding props or gold coins.

Some can also emit shock waves to clear the gravel in front of them at a very long distance. After clearing the area behind, players can move at high speeds.

Of course, in the entire game advancement process, the core elements of fighting monsters are naturally indispensable.

Players will encounter many bugs living underground on the way forward. If they defeat them, they can obtain a small amount of basic attribute bonuses.

But no matter how small the basic attributes are, the effects exerted through the superposition of various props can add up to a lot.

In addition, what shocked Kejin the most was the visual impact.

As the player continues to mine upward, the miner's own layer will slowly scale step by step.

The scene map that players can see has also been further expanded.

Until it is almost reaching the ground.

The entire cross-section of the underground gravel world will be clearly visible to the player.

At this time, the miner has become a small black dot composed of several pixels.

However, after combining a variety of props, the shovel can dig as wide as a palm.

Minimum and maximum are better reflected at this moment.

The final ending of the game left a deep impression on Ke Jin. After the miner was killed underground, he survived the catastrophe and began to dig upwards. Along the way, captions kept popping up to express his mood at this time and his longing for his family. He would even dig up many products from the city along the way. For example, collectibles such as mobile phones, TVs, motorcycles, etc. When I find a dirty Hello Kitty, I will put it in my pocket and think about giving it to my daughter when I get it out.

Until the miners made their way up and finally broke out of the underground world.

Only to find that the entire world has been swept by a mysterious strong wind, turning everything into a desert, and all the products of human civilization have long been buried deep underground.

But fortunately, the radios he collected on the way told him that human civilization has not yet disappeared, and there are many human survivors in the underground world, and his family may be among them.

Ever since, in order to find relatives buried deep in the yellow sand who may still be alive. The miners began a new round of sand digging adventure.

It can be said that the endless gameplay theme of Meat Pigeon is coupled with a concept that requires players to "play over again and again."

Overall, it is a pretty good and playable little game. It has all the elements, is barely balanced, and has a certain appeal.

But its core key to attracting players is the prop pool.

It is still relatively shallow, with only about 20 species.

According to what the designer Wang Tianrui said in the attachment to the game installation package, his original idea for this game was to dig in the sand and then defeat monsters to become stronger. The elements of the meat pigeon are randomly changing terrain and randomly appearing props. .

But after getting the "Isaac" game installation package distributed by Number One Player and trying it for two days, I was shocked.

The direction of the props was immediately changed so that various props in the game can blend with each other, creating more novelty and playability.

For a small independent game that was completed in just over half a month, "Diggers" still has too many shortcomings.

But compared to other meat pigeon themes that Kejin has tried, this work is undoubtedly better.

"Add "Digger" too, best game award." Ke Jin said, and Qiao Yuan immediately recorded it.

As for the three awards: Best Visual, Best Plot, and Best Design.

The three award-winning games are quite satisfactory in terms of gameplay and do not have much innovation. However, they have achieved the best level within the time limit in their respective fields.

He also stood out among Kejin's repeated selections.

After finalizing the five best games, the next step is to nominate the 5 best games in 25 tracks.

After the trial, Kejin comprehensively reviewed the employees’ ratings and then selected them one by one.

Time flickers.

Three days later.

Jianglin Open-air Game Center.

Ready Player One’s first game design conference begins here.

To Ke Jin's surprise.

I thought that few players would come to this kind of game design conference.

Today, the venue with a capacity of [-] people was actually filled with tens of thousands of people.

In addition to the media and fellow game manufacturers, many players and cosplayers also appeared.

The award ceremony hasn't even started yet, but the entire venue is already bustling with activity. There are also many snack and milk tea vendors pushing small carts around the venue.

The overall atmosphere is like visiting an exhibition.

"It's a good thing we didn't sell the tickets." Ke Jin couldn't help but praise his wit.

There are more than 100 people, and if a ticket is sold for [-], it is a profit of one million yuan.

The total money I raised from the SW escort job was 5250 million.

It’s just right to treat it all as a bonus, plus some additional on-site incidental expenses.

Only lose but not make any profit, just get a batch.

But if the million-dollar ticket revenue is included, it might be hard to say...

Fortunately, I didn't take advantage of this small advantage.

Soon, the award ceremony began.

And the process was extremely smooth.

Basically, a beautiful host sister is invited to come on stage to say a few words, introduce the highlights and advantages of the game, project it on the big screen, and then start awarding awards.

After finishing the ceremony, Jin came on stage wearing a formal suit and presented trophies to the young people who looked to be only [-] or [-] years old.

They held the trophy again, took the large bonus check, and said a few words of thanks.

The audience burst into applause, and the media clicked their flashbulbs.

That's it.

Finally it was time for the Best Game Award.

There were some little surprises...

As the winner of the Best Game Award, "The Digger Trapped Underground", its designer Wang Tianrui is a 20-year-old computer student studying at Jianglin University.

Ke Jin also came to the stage holding a large check board with a face value of 300 million as always, expressing his recognition of the game "Digger".

He also hopes that Wang Tianrui can design more new and good games in the future and create a better and better game soil for players.

And just when Ke Jin handed over the check for 300 million yuan.

It happened by accident!
  he! No! collar! prize!
  Ke Jin's expression twitched slightly.

This little brat, when he handed over the check, took two steps back, then shook his head, raised the microphone and said.

"Designer, to be honest, I have been a fan of your games since you designed "iwanna". I like every one of your games very much."

"The current design of "Digger" is deeply inspired by your "The Binding of Isaac". It is what it is today, and with the help of the platform of Ready Player One, it is sold at a price of 49 yuan in just one week. Over 20 copies sold."

"Without the textbook work that you went out of your way to publicize, Digger would never have won the Best Game Award today."

"So I want to award this award to you, to all the staff of Ready Player One, and to "The Binding of Isaac". It is the best game this time in my heart!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Tianrui bowed deeply towards Ke Jin to show his respect.

The audience suddenly burst into thunderous applause and cheers from the whole hall.

"it is good!!!"

"Fuck! This young man!! Awesome!!"

"This situation is really big! I'm sorry! Why don't you just say you don't want three million?"

"This man is from our school, a second-generation rich man. His family is not short of money, and he is a die-hard fan of the number one player. It is not unusual. But one thing is that he is indeed a big player."

"Ahhh! Gravograph! Receive the award!"

"It's well-deserved!! After watching the recording and broadcast on the external network, I also think that "The Binding of Isaac" is well-deserved for the Best Game Award!!"

"Why can't the works presented at game design conferences win awards?"

"Gravograph rush!! Receive your prize!!"

Compared with the boiling discussion in the audience and the constantly flashing shutter.

The expression on Ke Jin's face was particularly wonderful.

The corners of his eyes kept twitching...

No, you little brat!
  I'm here to award awards! Why did I still receive the award?
  You brat, use my money to give me an award, right?
  This is not true of Tiangang!

And most importantly.

This is a gap of 300 million!
  If you don't take it, it means I haven't spent the money.

If the money is not spent, the task is not completed.

Thinking of this, people in Jin Dynasty became numb.

What the hell is this?

I have never experienced such a scene!

Let alone experience it, I have never even seen it...

I don’t know how to deal with the situation where the winner refuses to accept the award...

no! I want to come to the rescue!
  After running at high speed in my mind.

Kejin stood up to all the opinions and ignored the deafening cheers from the audience, such as "Everyone is waiting for you" and "Let's accept the award, Kebao". He gritted his teeth and said with a smile on his face.

"I'm very grateful to this guy... who is even younger than me, for recognizing our No. [-] player's game so much."

"But the number one player's own game cannot participate. This is a rule established before the start of the competition. It is obviously unfeasible for us to open a game conference ourselves and then win awards ourselves, both emotionally and rationally."

"I feel your enthusiasm, but this award belongs to you."

snort! Brother uses rules to suppress you!

No rules no standards!
  My words must be impeccable!
  You bastard, take your money and get off the stage!
  I beg you, brother...

With that said, Ke Jin insisted on putting the check board into Wang Tianrui's hand.

Wang Tianrui also pushed the board into Ke Jin's hand, but refused to take it.

Then, he said something that killed the game.

"Engraver, let's do this."

"This money will be automatically postponed to the next game design conference and awarded to those more outstanding game designers. "Digger" has absorbed too much essence from "Isaac" and it really does not deserve it. Such a good reputation. Moreover, I also sincerely hope that design conferences like this that can promote the development of the game industry can be held better and better! They will become more and more famous!"

As soon as the words fell, explosive cheers came directly from the audience!
  Postpone the Game Design Conference and contribute to the future development of the game industry!

This idea was too big, and it was in front of everyone.

Ke Jin found that he couldn't take it at all...

If we refuse again, it would be like saying that ‘the Ready Player One Design Conference will not be held again in the future, and we do not intend to encourage outstanding young designers’

Moreover, the money was not returned to the number one player.

Belonging is postponed to the next term, and it means "leave it to better people" in a self-effacing manner.

It's like someone took the prize and kept it in the hands of the number one player.

It can be said that he killed the game in all aspects!

What made Ke Jin even more desperate was.

At this time, another person walked up directly from the audience.

As soon as this energetic old man appeared, the entire noisy venue fell silent.

At first, the audience was still whispering among themselves, wondering who this is?
  And when someone recognized the old man on stage as Tang Shenghua, the deputy director of the Huaguang Bureau, they spread the word and the audience exploded again!
  The deputy director of the Huaguang Bureau personally participated in this game design conference?
  What level of cards is this?
  You know, let alone the gaming industry, which is still developing.

Even the major award ceremonies in China's most popular film and television industry couldn't invite this big shot to support the scene!
  Even Ke Jin was confused now.

no……

Tang Bureau?

I'm thinking that my sister will call you to come!

What wind has brought you here!

When Tang Shenghua came this time, he was strongly invited by Mayor Jiang Lin.

Secondly, he heard that Ready Player One's game design conference was so famous that it even caused quite a stir abroad.

The senior management of Huaguang Bureau still attaches great importance to this culture of being able to get out of the circle.

Furthermore, the purpose of the Game Design Conference is to encourage more outstanding young people to explore the depth of the industry.

As a leader of the older generation, Tang Shenghua still admires Ready Player One, a game company that dares to pioneer.

He walked up to the stage in two steps, and the host on the side hurriedly ran up and handed him the microphone.

I saw Tang Shenghua unfurling a banner directly in front of everyone.

And took the microphone, with a red face and a smile, and expressed his gratitude to Ke Jin.

Thanks to him for his indelible contributions to the entire Chinese gaming industry over the past three years.

I would also like to thank Kejin for spending so much money at his own expense to hold a game design conference for the future development of the game industry.

As a Chinese official responsible for art, entertainment and culture, there is nothing to express.

I can only send a brief banner and wish the number one player will prosper in the future development!
  In fact, from Tang Shenghua's position, the words coming out of his mouth are already worth thousands of gold.

Along with it, I don’t know which photographer in the audience found a good angle and pressed the shutter.

The final picture is fixed on the stage.

A young and handsome man was surrounded by an old man and a young man in the center of the stage.

Compared with the old man and the young man, the handsome man seemed like a real winner, holding a banner in his left hand and a 300 million bonus check in his right hand, with a smile on his face that was filled with tears of joy.

……

"Is this expression on my brother's face because he was so happy that he shed tears?" With his slender palms coated with translucent nail polish, he gently picked up a captured photo of the conference site.

Luo Xinlin looked at the face in the photo, which was the face on the day when Ke Jin won the award, and then moved the photo away, and saw an identical face, sitting face to face with her.

It's just that the face seemed a little numb at the moment, and his eyes were looking blankly at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.

Luo Xinlin pursed her lips and smiled slightly, then put the photo into her small bag.

"This airplane food tastes so bad, I almost fainted from it." At this time, Keyu, who was sitting next to Luo Xinlin, wiped his mouth vaguely and interjected.

Soon, she pouted her little mouth again and muttered something to herself.

"But when I think about the expensive and unpalatable food in the Disneyland, this unpalatable but free airplane meal seems not so hard to accept."

Next, we enter a chapter of daily transitional plot that you don’t like to watch. I’ll tell you about it in advance so that you can skip the chapter easily.

(End of this chapter)
