As the most basic game competition event, the Music Special Game Festival does not have an offline event exhibition hall.

However, each major official platform will open a special event area as usual, and participating games will be uploaded to the event area. After the music-specific game festival begins, players can download and try it on their own.

Although the music-specific game festival is only the most elementary game competition. But as this year's highlight of the Sichuan Provincial Game Association, at least on one-third of an acre of land, there are still some cards.

No offline event exhibition hall?

Competition activities have little impact?

Are there not many participating manufacturers?

Players don’t pay much attention?

None of this is a problem!

The Sichuan Provincial Game Association unites major live broadcast platforms to conduct simultaneous live broadcasts for the music-specific game festival. The major awards of the first music-specific game festival will be selected in the form of a live competition. There are different awards including special prizes, first, second and third prizes, as well as winning prizes.

As long as players watch the official live broadcast room for more than ten minutes, they will be eligible to vote and vote for their favorite games. In this way, it can be regarded as a disguised increase in the popularity and influence of the music-specific game festival.

Of course, as the first music-specific game festival in Sichuan Province, since there is a player voting session, we will naturally be cautious and use technical means to prevent participating manufacturers with ulterior motives from swiping the screen.

but……

In this music-specific game festival, players and manufacturers all know that Taipingdao is participating, and no one is stupid enough to squander tickets and make themselves a laughing stock in the gaming circle.

Even though the Music Special Game Festival is not as valuable as the College Student Game Festival, the Golden Cub Badge winner of the College Student Game Festival only has a bonus of 300,000 yuan, and the record-breaking one only has 600,000 yuan. As for the official recommendation reward, the specifications are not the same. high.

As for the special prize of the Music Special Game Festival, if there is no record breaking, the bonus will be as high as 500,000. Of course... there is no record breaking in the Music Special Game Festival.

The Sichuan Provincial Game Association has also made a private commitment with major official platforms that award-winning games will receive official recommendation slots with a higher amount of gold than those in the College Student Game Festival. This can be considered to make up for the lack of record-breaking bonuses.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the music-specific game festival officially started.

All major official platforms immediately carried out simultaneous live broadcasts.

"Oh, first place!"

"Grab the couch!"

"Let me see what's going on!"

"Xiao Xiaoyinyou, easy to win!"

"Live broadcast selection? No matter who holds the first game festival, they all like to do some fancy things? I like it!"

"Live broadcast selection? Who are the judges?"

"Who knows, I came here to be the rhythm master of General Tiangong."

"No matter whose competition it is, as long as there are old thieves participating, I, the Yellow Turban Army, will definitely help out!"

A large number of players and fans rushed into the live broadcast room immediately, and nearly 70% of the players came for the Rhythm Master.

The host walked to the stage, raised the microphone and briefly introduced the rules of the competition. Then he pointed behind him with a wave of his hand and introduced the three judges.

They are--

The first judge is Chu Tiankuo.

He is not only the president of the Sichuan Game Association, but also a senior game designer. He is also a leader of the older generation in the game industry in Sichuan Province. He once taught at the Game Design School of Sichuan Art Institute and served as the dean. It can be said that the world is filled with peaches and plums.

The second judge is sixty-six.

She is one of the few top female anchors in the gaming area. She has a very strong influence in the gaming circle. She is also known as a tutor for cyber postgraduate entrance examinations. Her understanding of games and even analysis of games are far better than other game anchors. grade.

The third judge Li Ying.

The Yinqueshan Game Company she founded is the leading game company in the field of domestic audio games, and is even called the godmother of audio games by people in this small circle. Logically speaking, it would be impossible to invite Li Ying to a competition of this size, but there are exceptions to everything.

On the one hand, she has a very good personal relationship with Chu Tiankuo and is trusted by others.

On the one hand, she was curious when she learned that Taipingdao would participate in the competition.

Li Ying has spent half her life on the small subject of music games. In her opinion, it has almost reached the pinnacle of this subject. It is said that the stone from the mountain can attack the jade.

She also wanted to see if Cai Gou, the most prominent figurehead in the gaming industry who was involved in audio games for the first time, could innovate and change the stagnant environment of audio games.

Official representatives, player representatives, and expert representatives in related fields. As soon as these three judges appeared, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room immediately reached a climax. Is this serious?
Even if it is a higher-level competition, Li Ying may not be invited to come out!
"Holy shit? The battle is so big?"

"Azhen, are you serious?"

“The sense of anticipation suddenly came up!”

"Okay, exciting! It's really a big scene!"

The host continued: "The first music-specific game festival in Sichuan Province has officially begun. There are 108 participating games in total. The official will break up the order of the games and let three judges randomly try out a game at the same time."

"Each game has a maximum trial play time of fifteen minutes. Of course, if the judges are not interested in the game, they can switch to the next game at any time. During this period, all three judges of a game are not satisfied with the trial play time. After three minutes, all games will be eliminated directly.”

“Finally, we enter the game scoring section. Three judges rate the game at three levels: upper, middle, and lower. The game’s awards, release, and official recommendation are all closely related to the scoring of the final game. Players can also simultaneously rate their favorite games. Game, vote for it!”

After the rules were introduced, the official live broadcast room was expanded into four grids.

Each of the three judges occupies a grid, and players can watch the first-person perspective of the judges trying out the game in real time. The host occupies the last square and will display the introduction information of the next game in advance.

The three judges briefly chatted and introduced a few words to the water friends who entered their live broadcast room, and then began to evaluate the game in unison.

The first game [Note Collision] has a very simple game mode and gameplay. Players can play the corresponding music rhythm through the collision of different notes according to the needs of the current level.

Liuliu was the least qualified judge among the three judges. When the other two judges switched games in less than a minute, it was a shame to try the game for three minutes.

However, the gameplay of this game was too monotonous and there was nothing new. After three minutes, Liuliu chose to switch to the next game. The host also introduced the manufacturer of this game and the details of the game in real time.

Even though the rules say that a game can be reviewed for up to fifteen minutes, there are 108 games in total. If you really want to review them in such detail, how can you find the time?
Among them, a large number of games will obviously be quickly screened and eliminated.

Time passes slowly, one game after another appears, and one game after another ends.

If every game has its own flowering period, then in the music-specific game festival, the flowering period of these flowers is very short.

Three hours later.

When the water friends in the live broadcast room were a little sleepy, the host introduced:
"What will be reviewed next is the first audio game developed by Taipingdao manufacturer - Rhythm Master!"

As soon as these words came out, the water friends in the live broadcast room were not sleepy at all.

Even the judges who were evaluating the games in their hands changed their expressions.

I finally waited for you... Fortunately, I didn't give up.

"Woo hoo, have you finally waited for the old thief to appear?"

"Three hours of foreplay is too long, isn't it?"

"The main meal is here, the main meal is here!"

"The Yellow Turbans gather!"

"Brothers, bright guy, vote hard for me later!"

"My big vote is already hungry and thirsty!"

The host continued: "Taiping Road is known as the gateway to the southeast in Sichuan Province. In the gaming industry, it is also known as the magic needle of Sichuan Province. It has been blessed with many honors such as military-industrial cooperation enterprises and civil aviation cooperation enterprises."

"The soul designer of Taipingdao is the Tiangong General who is affectionately called the old thief by players. From the golden lion badge to the green bamboo badge to the benchmark badge, to this day, he has long become a business card in the game industry." Although Rhythm Master is Taipingdao’s first foray into the field of music games, we have reason to believe that General Tiangong will surprise us.”

After the words fell, Liuliu completed the evaluation of the game in his hand. The three judges advanced to switch to the next game, and the rhythm master made his debut.

[Game name: Rhythm Master]

[Developer: Taipingdao Company]

[Type: Hardcore·Music·Breakthrough]

[Price: None]

[Message from the developer: Can it be done, you bastard! 】

In Li Ying's live broadcast room, a large number of fans poured in, everyone wanted to watch the music godmother's evaluation of the rhythm master from a first-person perspective.

Li Ying's long white hair was pulled into a bun on her head, and she had an elegant and noble temperament. She clicked on the game and soothing background music played.

Enter the main interface of the game [Player Account] [Classic Mode] [Level Mode] [World Battle] […]

The game contains multiple modes. The mode selection buttons are centralized and integrated. Players can freely switch between star mode, free mode and other modes by clicking the [More Modes] button on the mode selection interface of the interface.

In the classic mode, players can hit the falling notes along with the music rhythm in the game, or continuously hit the continuous melody notes by sliding to get a smooth gaming experience.

Of course, this requires the player to consume one [Stamina] to play a game in free mode.

As for the level-breaking mode, players need to complete songs with different difficulties and completion conditions in different levels to pass the level. The accumulated number of levels passed can also be ranked in the friend relationship chain.

In each level, players need to challenge a designated song and meet the conditions to pass the level before they can pass the level and open the next level. While players are challenging levels, they can also compete with their friends to see who has cleared more levels.

Players can complete the level challenge by consuming a lightning-shaped [stamina]. If the completion conditions are met, the level will be successfully cleared.

The account in the hands of the judges is a special evaluation account, and all content has been unlocked.

But according to Li Ying's rigorous style, she still chose to check out the most basic classic mode first, and the selected songs were——

[Don’t listen to slow songs when you are sad]

She secretly thought: "Little one, I hope you won't disappoint me!"

After entering the game, the game interface displays four areas of the same area, and then each area lights up and the cursors land one after another.

Li Ying clicked on the corresponding area in the order in which the cursor dropped.

As the cursor is perfectly triggered, the melody of the song unfolds.

[You are too tired from crying and you are hurt too deeply]

【You love so stupidly】

【You cry like the end is coming】

In the live broadcast room, water friends immediately excitedly posted the barrage——

"It's really easy to get started with this game, and the difficulty is very low... I like it!"

"Holy shit, a pop song? That's rare!"

"Is every level a song? Then I can play for a hundred years!"

"Don't say it, don't say it, this game doesn't seem to be very difficult!"

"Wow, this game is so easy to play!"

"Rhythm Master? I am also an old player in the music game circle, but I have never seen this game mode made by the old thief."

This kind of interface, or this kind of game form, is rare in audio games. Li Ying's eyes lit up, and she deliberately missed a cursor, and sure enough, the lyrics were not displayed.

In music games, players perform actions in conjunction with music and rhythm to play the game.

Usually the player's actions will increase the score if they are consistent with the rhythm. On the contrary, points will be deducted. Some works will even force the game to end due to too many mistakes.

In addition, some games will require a certain score. If it cannot be achieved, the game will end. This type of game mainly tests the player's grasp of rhythm, as well as finger reaction and eyesight.

This is almost an unwritten iron rule in the circle of audio game designers.

When developing games of this type, game designers often design innovations in players' actions in conjunction with music and rhythm, constantly raising the difficulty level, making the threshold for this industry higher and higher.

Even Li Ying would not involuntarily rely on this aspect when developing audio games, but no manufacturer would think of doing the opposite.

Only Taipingdao’s rhythm master found another way.

After the song was played, Li Ying exhaled: "Falling style, touch, music rhythm, puzzle game? Wonderful!"

As a godmother-level designer in the field of music games, Li Ying gave a clear definition of the game after simply trying it out.

Getting started is easy...

It means a large audience!
Pop music……

It means the heat is high!
Novel gameplay...

Means new trend!
Li Ying is over 50 years old. She originally had an elegant temperament and was calm and calm even when Mount Tai collapsed in front of her without changing her expression. However, when she saw the rhythm master in front of her, she felt as if she had found a treasure and thought it was an excellent game.

She understands...the emergence of the rhythm master has opened up a bright road for the music game circle.

"Good game, absolutely good game!" Li Ying praised water friends in the live broadcast room:

"It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to meet General Tiangong... Otherwise, I really want to ask him for advice."

Player: "!!!"

Water friend: "!!!"

Judge: "!!!"

The whole audience was shocked for a moment, and even Chu Tiankuo and Liuliu who were on the side were shocked when they heard this.

Who is Li Ying?

Godmother of music games!

Who has ever seen her praise a music game so highly?

It’s finally here today!
Today is an eye-opener!

Can……
