Game Design: Is that okay, CaiGou?

Chapter 101 Mountain City Game Industry: The shape it has become 310 Please order first

Mountain City, Xingcheng Tingyuan Community.

The night is like water and the sky is filled with stars.

Zhao Guang stood on the balcony, smoking cigarettes one after another.

When the wife saw this, she shouted: "Old Zhao, take care of yourself and don't smoke so much!"

"Hey, you go to bed first. I'll go to the study to work on it for a while. You don't have to wait for me."

"……OK!"

Zhao Guang is middle-aged, with both senior and junior subordinates. As an insider in the mountain city game industry, he opened a studio with less than ten people and made a living.

On the strength of the company?

On technological innovation?

On game creativity?

His Spark Studio is not ranked at all.

In the past, survival depended on outsourcing jobs.

But now...

grown ups! Times have changed!

The bottom studios in the mountain city game industry can only find a new way.

But where is the way out?

"Ugh!"

Zhao Guang put out the cigarette in his hand and returned to the study.

Pulling out the chair and sitting down, Zhao Guang logged into the Game Paradise website and browsed the mission section.

I wanted to see if there was any outsourcing work I could take on.

Who would have known that as soon as he logged into the forum, Zhao Guang discovered that something was wrong with the hot search terms on the forum.

【Game plus education seminar】

[Cai Gou’s first fire]

[Preparation plan for game plus education special exhibition]

【…】

He quickly clicked to view.

[Announcement from Shancheng Game Association]

[This association sincerely invites all colleagues in the Shancheng game industry to hold an offline game plus education seminar in Hall 215 on the first floor in two days' time]

[In this seminar, President Cai Gou will explain Shancheng official’s support policies for game plus education special exhibitions, and how to create and co-prosperity to make the game plus education special exhibition an exclusive feature of Shancheng’s game industry. 】

[At that time, everyone will participate in the grand event and make their own contribution to the prosperity of the mountain city game industry]

Comments section below the announcement.

Full of comments from Shancheng game practitioners.

The joy is beyond words.

"Hahaha, great. Seeing what Mr. Cai means, we can also catch a ride?!"

"Game plus education seminar? Mr. Cai has just taken office a few days ago, and there is quite a lot of movement!"

"Rumors say, it is said that the Shancheng official support is very strong this time, and the supervisory unit is the Shancheng Game Association!"

"Be a good boy! Mr. Cai won't let us play this time?"

"Can non-shancheng game industry practitioners watch?"

"I'm envious... Mr. Cai's skills are great!"

After Zhao Guang understood the whole story, he let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that the game industry in Shancheng was really about to change.

Perhaps his own studio could catch up with the times. Thinking of this, Zhao Guang was determined to participate in this seminar.

The news of the game plus education symposium gradually spread with the discussion in Game Paradise, and became known to more and more people.

Many people have focused their attention here, wanting to see what tricks Cai Gou can play.

Two days later.

Zhao Guang rushed to the association early in the morning, only to find that many colleagues had been waiting for a long time.

Obviously, being at the bottom of the food chain in the mountain city game industry, everyone is in urgent need of a shot in the arm.

"Hey, Lao Zhao, you came early enough?"

"Didn't you, Lao Li, come earlier?"

People were whispering in small groups, all discussing the level of official support.

nine in the morning.

All participants are present.

Cai Gou was sitting on the stage wearing a crisp suit.

Everyone present in the audience fell silent upon seeing this.

Cai Gou looked around and said:

"Compared to other provinces and cities, the mountain city game industry has a large number of small studios and low-level practitioners, but the local game industry is not developed."

"In the final analysis, it is because there is no innovation ability and no technical barriers, so we can only choose to undertake game business outsourcing. The profit is small, the repetitiveness is high, the burden is heavy, and there is no room for improvement."

"Is this the career development prospect you want?"

"Is this your original intention to work in the game industry?"

"Is this the reason why you have become an outsourcing factory?"

These words can be called a triple blow of real hurt, and most of the people present felt the same. Who doesn't want to change?

Easier said than done?

It’s difficult!

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Cai Gou continued:

"The hosting right of the game plus education special exhibition has been settled in Shancheng. This may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to overtake in a corner!"

"The Mountain City Game Association has a number of official support quotas for mountain cities."

"Any studio that signs up to participate can not only obtain an interest-free loan with the official guarantee, but also receive promotional resources from the Shancheng Game Association."

"For specific welfare policies, you can refer to the participant manual for detailed introduction."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guang quickly opened the manual to learn the details.

The official support from Shancheng this time is unprecedented.

But if they want to catch this opportunity, the studio must participate in next year’s game plus education exhibition.

Zhao Guang couldn't help but ask:

"But President Cai, many of us have no experience in making games and educational games..."

Cai Gou frowned slightly when he heard this: "If this pattern has just appeared, I understand what you said."

"But the game plus education track, counting from the time I released the Kerbal Space Program, it won't be a short time!"

"You are all insiders. You can't handle game innovation, and you can't handle micro-innovation either?"

"If this is the case, then there is really no need to waste the official support quota."

Zhao Guang said worriedly:

"But if you make a game, just bet on the chance of becoming popular at a game plus education exhibition?"

"Everyone has no confidence in his heart..."

Cai Gou saw this and smiled: "Who said you only have one chance to gamble your life?"

"Mr. Lanny, get up and say hello to everyone?"

Lanny stood up from the first row of the venue, turned his head and waved:

"Everyone, I am Lanny, the country manager of the steam platform!"

"boom!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Many people present are at the bottom of the industry, and most of them have never met Lanny.

A few people have seen it, but they can't figure out why Lanny attended this meeting.

"The Steam Platform National Area will open a long-term activity area starting from the first Game Plus Education Exhibition."

"Of course, it is limited to games plus educational models. The Steam Platform National Region will also provide certain support and incentives to works with outstanding performance."

In everyone's surprised eyes, Cai Gou smiled and said:

"Everyone, you don't need to gamble once a year. As long as the quality of the game passes the test, you can get traffic tilt and resource support."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Guang took a breath of cold air.

Long-term activities area?

Platform incentives and support?

Official policy support?

It seems...

Creating games and education into the characteristics of mountain city games is not an empty talk by Cai Gou.

As Cai Gou continued to explain the principles and policies in detail, everyone present became more and more excited.

"President, I respond positively and I want to participate!"

"Me too!"

"Count me in!"

"Mr. Cai, I want to sign up too!"
