Restart the Gaming Era

Guanghua City, Guanghua Art Institute.

GGAC, also known as the Global Game Art Concept Contest, entered the official selection stage after screening in the preliminary round.

At the preliminary selection, participants only need to submit a demo, or accept the on-site inquiry after submitting the design concept draft, and then they can pass the level. However, after entering the formal selection stage, all the entries must be truly competitive.

Is there a bug in the game?

Are there alternative resources?

Art style is not new enough?

Failed to achieve the expected results in the design draft?

The details in the game are not in place?

Will not work.

At the official selection stage, all games must be requested with the highest degree of completion, and any small flaws in the game may be deducted by the judges.

Zhong Ming still came to the meeting place on time. This time the meeting place was no longer the student activity center that was a bit stingy. It was replaced by a central auditorium.

Guanghua Academy of Art will choose here for some evening parties or large-scale events and competitions.

There were a lot of audiences at the scene, some of them were students from Guanghua Art College, and most of them came from Guanghua City or even other cities. They all wanted to see if this global game art concept competition would emerge What an interesting new game.

In the past, GGAC has also held many games and won first prize games. Some of them won and some did not, but no matter how they performed in the market, at least in terms of artistic value, they were not low.

There may be some games that are not popular because they are not innovative enough or the depth is not enough to sell a lot of sales, but the art level of these games is absolutely high.

Most of the audience who came to see GGAC came from the word "art".

The judges also entered in advance. The competition has not yet started, and the judges are also exchanging their views on the competition.

Wu Zhicheng looked at the official list of his hand, and said with emotion: "This year, there are more good games. Last year, I felt that many participants were mainly playing tickets, all for the purpose of winning prizes and making games. Not very serious. But this year, the completion of most games is already very high. Even if you do n’t participate, you can pay attention to it as an independent business game. Hey, Professor Jin, which one do you like? ”

Du Mingxian smiled: "Which one does Lao Jin have to ask if it is optimistic? It must be" Ink Cloud Smoke ". Last time, the producer didn't know what kind of soul soup was poured into Lao Jin, and Lao Jin respected this game. Oh, strictly speaking, it should be a five-body cast! Not only he played by himself, even the other members of the Calligraphy Association have been promoted by him. You say that evil is not evil. "

Jin Xi hummed: "Lao Du has something in your words, I'll tell you, you don't engage in calligraphy, you don't know how valuable this game is! This producer is a talented calligrapher, even money The chairman is very praiseful! I tell you, pay attention when scoring, the score is too low, that is, we can't get along with our calligraphy association! "

Wu Zhicheng smirked and said, "No, don't you, Professor Jin, do you give this game platform?"

Jin Xi nodded: "What, no?"

"Of course, we are all judges. The evaluation is both gameplay and artistry. If it is a very artistic work, of course, we must focus on it." Wu Zhicheng said, "How about this game? It depends on the effect of the demo. "

"Anyway, I'm optimistic about" Ink and Cloud ", and the display effect ... It will certainly not be bad." Jin Xi said.

Having said that, but the specific display effect is good, Lao Jin has no spectrum in his heart.

After all, a well-written game design draft and a well-done game are two different things.

Just like a movie, if the script is good, must it look good when it's shot? Not really.

It can only be said that if the script is well written, there is a possibility of making this movie good-looking, but if it is given to a bad director, that good book will not save it.

Making a game is similar to making a movie. In many cases, even if the designer's ability is OK, the art of the project is not strong, the program is not strong, and the game is still sparse, and often a good idea is blind.

The way to hold back, that's all kinds of things.

These judges at the scene have not seen the final version of the game, even if Lao Jin really likes "Ink Cloud Smoke", if the effect of the live show is too poor, then there is no way to be too biased.

Soon, the competition officially started.

The host first carried out a simple series of events, and thanked the organizers of the competition, the cooperative units, the audience, the judges and the contestants.

The organizer's leader gave a short speech, which slightly increased the value of the entire competition.

After that, there was a formal review.

The order of the finals is not based on the original registration order, but by the judges.

According to the submission of the demo and the effect of the on-site inquiry, the entries were sorted from poor to excellent to ensure that the good works were evenly distributed throughout the competition, while ensuring that the overall level was gradually rising.

This is to ensure the program effect of the competition, and save the first one to play the best game. As a result, a crab is not as good as a crab, which is boring.

The judges were very tired, and the audience also looked drowsy, and the impact was not good.

The first producer came on stage.

"Dear judges, viewers, everyone. My entry is called" Deep Sea Journey "..."

The first game had a good response.

"Deep Ocean Journey" is an independent game based on ocean scenes. There are many unique scenes and monster designs in it. They are drawn from some scenes and creatures in the ocean, making people feel as if they are in a blue underwater world. The scene is beautiful.

The second game, the performance is average, the response is mediocre.

In the fifth game, the drowsy audience raised their interest and applause.

The order is arranged in advance, to a certain extent to ensure the effect of the program, but the specific score, it still has to be performed in the stands.

The evaluation of each game is divided into three parts: producer display, explanation, audience voting, review and evaluation, and scoring.

Finally, the audience vote and judges' scores are combined to determine the final ranking.

There were a total of 340 audiences at the site, and there were 16 judges.

The votes of the judges are 10 votes per person. In this case, a full vote is equivalent to 500 votes.

In the event of a tie, the votes of the judges will take precedence.

This rule is fairly fair. On the one hand, the audience has more votes than the judges, which can avoid human sentiment and shady to a certain extent. On the other hand, the weight of the judges' votes is not low, which can ensure that the art of the game is comprehensively considered.

Many of the producers on stage are very nervous.

After all, many people are accustomed to playing games, and they are really not good at facing this kind of scene.

One game after another quickly passed.

Du Mingxian stunned Lao Jin who was next to him: "The quality of these games this year is good."

"Um." Lao Jin responded perfunctoryly, and said to you, Lao Du, you don't always have to talk.

Du Mingxian looked at the sequence of entries: "The next one is" Ink and Cloud "."

"I'm not blind. I'll look at the sequence table myself. You're annoying." Lao Jin was speechless.

Since Lao Jin's attitude towards "Ink and Cloud" and Zhong Ming made a 180-degree turn last time, Du Mingxian has always been joking about this, and Lao Jin himself is annoyed.

Just wait for Zhong Ming to step on the stage and take the finished product of "Ink and Cloud" to educate these people well!

Of course, Lao Jin himself is very much looking forward to "Ink and Cloud Smoke". After all, this is the first work he has ever seen that incorporates calligraphy art into the game content. Of course, he doesn't want to see Zhong Ming mess up.

...

"The next entry is" Ink Cloud Smoke "from Weiguang Studio. Please come on stage!"

Zhong Ming stood up, sorted out her clothes a little, and stepped onto the stage.

There are some audiences talking about the audience.

"Slight Studio? It sounds familiar."

"They do the" Empty Roads of Lurking "and" Working Dog Survival Manual ", they all do it!"

"Oh," Working Dog Single Manual ", I have an impression."

"What single handbook, survival handbook! Can your name be crooked?"

"It's really a well-known studio, and even came to this competition? This game should be very exciting!"

"I also feel that" The Lazy Way "is a god-made work! I always think that this producer is a genius and I don't know what this game will look like."

"Is this the producer? It looks so young."

The low-light studio is also a little famous.

Two word-of-mouth independent games let the name and logo of Weiguang Studio be engraved in the hearts of many players. Before introducing the game, they added a lot of points to themselves.

On the stage, there is a large screen, which will display the game screen in real time, and a small window, which will show the operation at hand.

Of course, for most games, this small window is useless, after all, there are only a few ways to operate, hand rub, or mouse and keyboard, or handle.

But for "Ink and Cloud", this small window is still more important.

Zhong Ming didn't say too much, and did not over-render and describe the game content of "Ink and Cloud". Many places were simply mentioned in one sentence, and more importantly, let players feel through their eyes and ears. The unique charm of "Ink and Smoke".

...

Entering the game, first is an opening CG.

CG is not complicated. It is presented in the form of ink painting scroll. As the scroll unfolded, the black clouds of ink and wind gathered, and a ferocious beast was born. Zhangya dance claws, a distant city, shrouded in its shadow ...

At the same time, a low voice was telling the background of the story.

"According to legend, in ancient times, there was a kind of evil beast named Hua Xia in Huaxia."

"The reason for the birth of Moonkin is unknown. There are rumors that Moonkin can weave dreams ..."

In the background of this story, Zhong Ming told the judges when he questioned, but now it is presented to the players in CG mode.

This simple dynamic CG does not cost much money, and it is not difficult to do. The dubbing can be directly recorded by the voice actors, but the effect is excellent.

When talking about "Students use pens and inks, scrolls to face the enemy, draw on the landscape in paintings, and use poetry and calligraphy as swords", the background melody suddenly became agitated, and the picture on CG turned around, and the students and nightmares Monster battle scene.

The scholar holds the scroll in his left hand and the writing brush in his right hand, and on the opposite side of him, there are horrible monsters who are not nicknamed!

The scholar opened the scroll with a shake in his left hand, and brushed it with a brush on the right hand, splattered with ink, and drew a boulder covered with moss.

After that, when the scholar brush was thrown away, the huge stone suddenly broke away from the painting, changed into the real world, and smashed into the monster in front of it! Several monsters were unable to dodge, were pressed under the boulder, turned into a burst of black smoke, and quickly dissipated.

Other monsters are even more angry, and more and more black gas condenses into monsters and gathers up.

A three-legged monster uprooted a large tree next to it and threw it at the scholar. The scholar brushed the brush gently, and the big tree flew in the air, and was suddenly wiped out of nothing!

The scholar kept on, the brush on his right hand continued to trace on the scroll, and the thunder appeared in the sky. Suddenly, all the thunders fell from the sky and smashed the monsters in front of him!

In the end, the scholar sprayed ink and wrote poems on the scrolls in his hands.

"Yanlang lying listening to the wind and rain, Tiema Glacier came to dream!"

Several powerful and powerful characters appeared on the picture scroll, and the sky suddenly changed suddenly.

The ice and rain fell, the frost was piercing, a heavy armored cavalry suddenly appeared out of thin air, Jin Ge iron horse, swallowed up like a tiger!

Those sorrowful sorrows mourned, slumped by the ice and rain, and smashed by the cavalry of the Jinge Iron Horse, quickly turned into black smoke and quickly dissipated.

The powerful enemy was eliminated, but the scholar's expression was still dignified. His gaze looked far into the distance. On the mountain top, a group of black gas lingered, and the beast was still waiting for him to fight.

CG is over and officially enters the game screen.

The content of the CG is not too much, it is less than three minutes, but this CG attracts all the attention of the audience.

"Ink wind! A little fun!"

"Also, this fighting method is very interesting. This is the legendary magic pen Ma Liang?"

"Looking at the content in the CG, what can be drawn can be directly turned into reality. Fighting calligraphy with painting? A little handsome."

"I give full marks for this idea, and I give full marks for the style of painting! I just don't know if it's really fun to play, it's fun."

"Not necessarily, really not necessarily. This game mainly needs such a concept. I can't think of a great way to stuff the contents of painting and calligraphy."

"With this concept, it's actually pretty good!"

The audience in the audience were watching carefully, and wanted to see the real picture of the game ~ www.readwn.com ~ Zhong Ming didn't sell any tricks and started the game directly.

"Ink Cloud Smoke" can be played on both the computer and the bracelet. This time it is displayed with a bracelet, but a special hand-painted board is prepared next to it.

Enter the game, the classic horizontal version pass layout, drag the virtual joystick, the scholar starts to move, and start fighting with the monsters generated in front.

The first two minutes are mainly to show the basic operations, including running, jumping, attacking, defending, etc. There is nothing to say, the movement is smooth and the scene is beautiful. In the horizontal version of the game, there is no doubt that it is a high-quality game.

Soon, the system began to guide the use of drawing skills to overcome obstacles.

A tall cliff appeared in front of the scholar, and he couldn't cross it with a double jump.

Zhong Ming clicked the [Drawing] skill on her right hand, and made a tick on the virtual screen of the bracelet to draw a circle.

A large rock exactly like this circle appeared out of thin air and landed on the ground. The scholar stepped on it gently, crossed the cliff and moved on.
