Play Game of Life

Seeing these four words, there was an uproar at the scene.

"Horror game??"

"There are really all types of games in this lottery box?"

"It's too difficult! It's several times more difficult than the previous 'Simulation Driving' theme!"

"It can't be compared like this. The intensity of competition is still about the same. But it is true that horror games are not easy to make."

"And don't forget the selection rules of this game, you have to come up with new ideas!"

"Create something new? I don't think it's necessary. Didn't you see that "Mech Legend" made a lot of new ideas before? On the contrary, "Simple Flight Simulator" and "Domestic Truck Simulator" became popular. So I I think it’s better to make a serious horror game, if you don’t get the first place, you won’t get it, as long as you can win the favor of other investors, you can still make money.”

"Come on, I think no matter how you do it, the chances of a horror game making money are very slim. Instead of hoping to make a profitable horror game, it's better to hope to make some fools and get the first place with the 10 million investment. "

The designers in the audience insisted on their own opinions, and no one could convince anyone.

But one thing is certain, that is, the theme of "horror games" really stumped them!

In many game types, the production difficulty is completely different.

For example, action games have a very high production threshold, not only the problem of motion collection, but more importantly, a series of complicated factors such as the design of various actions, the adjustment of values, and the judgment of model collisions. Any problem may cause the player's feel to collapse.

The difficulty of designing a horror game lies in the control of the player's psychology and the creation of a sense of atmosphere.

If it is said that action games are difficult to make, the threshold is high, which is a kind of hard difficulty; then horror games are difficult to make, which is a kind of soft difficulty.

It does not lie in a specific technical or design difficulty, but in a mysterious feeling.

Even the top game manufacturers in China generally don't touch this theme.

Only some specific and talented foreign manufacturers can enjoy the horror game.

This time Li Rushan drew a king bomb in one draw, and the game designers in the audience were worried, but he himself was smiling.

Very good, the probability of losing 10 million has been greatly increased!

The success of the game theme is half of the success, and the other half of the success is of course finding a "reliable" designer.

Li Rushan looked down the stage, and quickly locked on to his target.

It is the designer named Lu Zhixing!

Li Rushan has been obsessed with 404 Studio since he played "Ordinary Life". After some simple investigations, he locked on Lu Zhixing. This time, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Lu Zhixing had also signed up for this game competition, of course it was a key concern.

There are still some follow-up activities on stage, but that has nothing to do with Li Rushan.

He gave a few instructions to one of his employees, then turned and went to the reception room at the back of the venue.

The employee walked quickly to Lu Zhixing's side and said in a low voice, "Hello, Mr. Li would like to ask you to talk."

Lu Zhixing was stunned for a moment, this President Li is also paying attention to him?

Well, save some trouble.

He pointed to Zhao Haoyan and asked, "This is the level design director of our studio, do you need to go there together?"

The employee nodded: "Yes, Mr. Li said, you and your friends can come together."

"Okay, then please lead the way."

Lu Zhixing stood up, pulled Zhao Haoyan who was still eating snacks, and walked to the reception room at the back of the hall.

...

"Mr. Lu! Hello, hello, I have admired you for a long time. I have played your "Ordinary Life" and I like it very much. As an investor, I only have one idea, which is to witness the activation of your infinite potential!"

As soon as he entered the meeting room, Lu Zhixing felt Li Rushan's enthusiasm.

The little fat man held Lu Zhixing's hand tightly as soon as he came up, feeling like he hated seeing each other later.

Lu Zhixing smiled slightly: "Where, I have admired Mr. Li for a long time."

This is the truth, I have heard a lot of gossip from Professor He Cheng before.

Li Rushan was very happy: "Please take a seat! Who is this?"

He slightly raised his head to look at Zhao Haoyan who was following behind Lu Zhixing.

Lu Zhixing introduced: "This is Zhao Haoyan, my roommate in college, and the current level design director of 404 Studio."

Zhao Haoyan also shook hands with Li Rushan: "Mr. Li, hello! I hope to have time to play games together. I have recently trained a few new heroes, and they are killing me in the bronze game!"

Lu Zhixing was speechless for a while, it seems that Lao Zhao's interpersonal skills still need to be practiced more.

But Li Rushan didn't mind at all, instead he smiled happily.

"Okay, okay, come on, please sit down, let's talk in detail."

He waved, and the waiter brought all kinds of drinks. Lu Zhixing chose a cocktail at random, while Zhao Haoyan chose the largest one after being dazzled, and drank it in his arms.

"Both are excellent young designers! Being able to participate in this design competition of mine really makes me feel radiant...

"Forget it, I won't talk about those empty-headed things, let's go straight, I came to you this time, I just want to talk to you about this game, and I want to hear it by the way. theme, do you have any good ideas?

"Don't be restrained, speak freely! You also know that the theme of my design competition is 'Building Dreams', so this dream, the more outrageous the better!"

Li Rushan looked at Lu Zhixing and Zhao Haoyan expectantly.

These two people gave him a very good first impression.

Li Rushan was a little worried before, if Lu Zhixing could make such a fun game as "Ordinary Life", would he really be a genius producer? What if you can't help yourself lose money?

But this meeting, this worry was dispelled to a certain extent.

Because he discovered that Lu Zhixing is not good at everything! Look at this man he brought.

This Zhao Haoyan is a roommate in his dormitory, who holds such an important position as the person in charge of the checkpoint? Does this count as... cronyism?

It seems that Lu Zhixing is not very good at company management and talent selection.

For some reason, when Li Rushan saw Lu Zhixing, he had an inexplicable sense of trust. He always felt that the games he made would definitely help him burn money, and he couldn't explain why.

Maybe... this is God's will in the dark?

As for Zhao Haoyan, Li Rushan was even more satisfied.

Isn't this the head of the "Three Idiots" who played in his true colors at the welcome party of the Game Design Academy?

When I saw it today, the state on the stage was indeed not a performance, it was completely natural.

There is a kind of not-so-intelligent temperament naturally revealed in this gesture.

Li Rushan always has a sense of surprise that he wants to have both Wolong and Fengchu at once.

Of course, whether these two are Wolong and Fengchu depends on their performance later.

Li Rushan is also very cautious. After all, whether he can burn the 500 million yuan is directly related to whether he can fulfill his wish, not to be burdened by the family business, and to be a happy and carefree homeboy.

Lu Zhixing pondered for a moment: "My thoughts on the theme of this competition...

"There are too many traditional forms of horror games. I think it must be unconventional! It must be bold and innovative, and integrate multiple gameplays!"

Li Rushan nodded like pecking rice: "Yes, yes, continue!"

Lu Zhixing continued: "I think that since it is a horror game, it must be as scary as possible. Some traditional horror games arrange various weapons for players, such as pistols, submachine guns and even rocket launchers. Reduce the horror of the game.

"There is a saying that the source of all horror is insufficient firepower. Therefore, in order to ensure that this game can give players the most extreme horror game experience, players must not have any weapons in their hands."

Li Rushan gave a thumbs up: "Okay! This idea won my heart! Since it is a horror game, it must be scary enough. It is best to scare all players away... Oh no, it is best for all players to get the most The ultimate horror experience!

"Horror games without weapons, okay, let the players strengthen their fear of insufficient firepower!

"But...if it's too scary, won't it attract those horror game fans too much?"

Lu Zhixing nodded: "Well, there may indeed be this problem. So my idea is to give players some improvements in terms of physical fitness.

"Simply put, it's...into the parkour gameplay!"
