Restart the Gaming Era

The gameplay of drawing and generating props surprised many audiences.

Because the big stone generated is the same shape as the circle drawn by Zhong Ming, it is just a special program algorithm that adds a texture to it. It seems that after spending a circle casually, professional fine arts It was beautified and decorated with this circle as the outline.

However, there is even more surprise.

Zhong Ming again and again showed the use of many painting skills.

When the scholar fell on the cliff, he used drawing skills to draw a rectangle under his feet, and it automatically turned into a large slate. The student stepped on the large slate and jumped to the opposite side of the cliff with ease.

By drawing a stick figure of a villain, you can summon a samurai to fight alongside the scholar for a short period of time.

Draw a stick figure of an animal, you can summon a hunting dog to fight side by side with the scholar.

As the game progresses, the scholars will also encounter some special altars. Many special symbols are recorded on these altars. At this time, players can activate new drawing skills and use the symbols recorded in these altars (in fact, Jane Strokes) call for something completely new.

For example, by drawing a symbol of thunder, you can summon thunder in the air and hack some monsters.

In the water battle level, the thunder will be particularly useful. The thunder summoned will spread along the water surface, causing a large range of damage to the monster.

In addition, drawing skills can also wipe out things other than monsters and the lowest scenes, creating unexpected program effects.

For example, a monster that is two people tall is holding a huge stone and wants to smash the scholar. At this time, Zhong Ming activated the painting skills and directly wiped off the big stone on the monster's head.

After the stagnant time was restored, the monster continued to throw large stones out, and as a result, he threw an empty space, looking at the empty two front claws, with a grimace.

The monster's stupid expression made the audience laugh.

Later, Zhong Ming began to demonstrate calligraphy skills.

The first boss I met used the calligraphy skills to write the words "Iron Horse Glacier Into the Dream". Zhong Ming first wrote with the index finger on the virtual screen of the bracelet. The final judgement was 47%.

I saw a drizzle falling in the sky, and the glacier swept across. In the glacier, the cavalry troops in iron armor launched an attack on the opposite monster, and the monster was severely damaged.

Zhong Ming waited for the second time to cool down her calligraphy skills. This time, she wrote it with a pressure-sensitive pen, and the completion rate reached 96%.

In the sky, the torrential rain was like a hail. The glaciers even spread into the sea, occupying most of the screen, while the cavalry troops continued. The body was still flashing with golden light. The monster suffered massive damage and died on the spot!

This is only the first time I have used calligraphy skills, and there are different calligraphy skills behind.

When some monsters led a full-screen attack, the scholar directly wrote "Spring Breeze Does Not End at Yumen Pass". A magnificent and magnificent Xiongguan appeared in front of him. The monster's large-scale attacks were all blocked by the Xiongguan. The scholar was not harmed!

...

Ink wind game screens, sometimes melodious, and sometimes tense background melody, a variety of monsters, imaginative fighting methods, so that audiences at the scene watched the climaxes and no pee points.

"How come this drawing skill is so interesting! You can release skills, summon, and wipe out the weapons in monster hands?"

"This calligraphy skill is also very interesting. Can you fight with the mood expressed in the verse? A few big moves are very imaginative!"

"This game is really powerful. Although it is only a horizontal version of the game, but the art style is outstanding, the details are also very good, the key is that the creativity is great!"

"It feels like no suspense, let's vote! Why not vote for such a good game?"

There have been several good indie games before, but the key is to compare with whom.

Immediately after the "Ink Cloud Smoke" came out, the audience watched it very seriously and exclaimed twice from time to time. Many of the gameplays were really unexpected!

Several reviewers also nodded frequently, especially Lao Jin, the worship in his eyes could not be hidden.

Zhong Ming didn't introduce it for too long, and demonstrated all the highlights of the game.

The next step is to review comments and vote.

Old Kim couldn't wait to pick up the microphone first.

"Let me say a few words first." Ink Cloud Smoke "is a game that I have been following in the first trial because I am a calligraphy association and I love calligraphy very much. The reason I like this game is because of it. The calligraphy element in it! As you can see, Ink and Cloud Smoke creatively incorporates the traditional Chinese art form of painting and calligraphy into the game, and it is very interesting to do, which is very rare! "

"It is also very important that there is a lot of calligraphy works in the game" Ink and Cloud Smoke ", that is, the part that players need to transcribe when skills are released. Everyone notice that these calligraphy works are all written by the producer , And the level of art is very high! This is what I admire very much. In short, I am very optimistic about this game, Zhong Ming, continue to cheer! "

Lao Jin's speech made the other judges a little bit painful. Is this a bit objective and fair?

It is very doubtful whether our reviewers received black money!

The audience below also listened for a moment.

What do you mean, is this a bit overdone? All the judges can't wait to jump on the table and exaggerate!

Wu Zhicheng also picked up the microphone: "I'll simply talk about it from the perspective of gameplay. In fact, when I first saw the design concept of this game, I felt very new. Painting, calligraphy, many games may have used similar Elements, but they have never been better integrated into the game ’s combat system than Ink and Cloud Smoke. When it comes to painting and calligraphy, many people may say that this is not related to battle? ”

"But this is exactly the essence of this game. After adding these elements, the game's combat system can be said to be unique. Moreover, the game's style, sound effects, and overall completion are all very satisfying to me. Yes, I think this is a rare indie game that takes into account both gameplay and artistry, which is very consistent with the theme of our contest! "

Several reviewers spoke in turn, and they all spoke well of "Ink and Cloud".

Of course, are there any disadvantages to this game?

If there are any shortcomings, it is probably that this game is a horizontal version of the game. This game type itself is a bit outdated. If it is a 3D effect, it may follow the trend.

But then again, let players draw pictures on the screen into a scene, or write directly on the screen, these play methods are still more suitable for 2D effects.

Therefore, as an independent game with limited investment, "Ink and Smoke" can achieve this level quite well!

In the final voting session, the audience voted 328 and the judges voted 14 * 10, for a total of 468 votes!

It seems that there is not a small gap from the full ticket of 500, but after all, it is difficult to adjust the mouth, and everyone does not like the good things. It is not surprising that some people do not like this style of "Ink and Smoke".

But then again, this number of votes is already terrifying, directly crushing the second place with more than 50 votes!

There are still several games behind, but the results are no longer suspicious. After watching "Ink and Smoke", players basically have no interest in these games. I just want to know when "Ink and Smoke" will be online and where to play it. !!

...

Game Art Concept Contest ended successfully.

"Ink and Smoke" won the first prize with a disparity in votes, with a prize of 1.8 million.

The bonus has not been paid for the time being. It will take a few days to arrive.

Subsequently, "Ink and Cloud Smoke" will be an excellent work, and it will be displayed on the official page of GGAC for a long time.

Of course, this kind of publicity is a win-win situation. GGAC can use this to show excellent works, showing "how hot you look at our competition", which obviously attracts more partners, and "Ink and Smoke" can also use this Opportunity to get more exposure, the data is bound to be better when online.

After the game, Lao Jin caught Zhong Ming directly in the background.

"Don't hurry, when will you write" Lanting Preface "?"

Zhong Ming couldn't laugh or cry: "This kind of post is a famous post, and it's not Chinese cabbage sold on the street. How can you write and write it? You ask the Calligraphy Association to help me to promote" Ink Clouds ", maybe wait for the game data, The influence has also come up, and I can write The Preface to the Lanting Collection with inspiration. "

Lao Jin: "Relax, even if you don't say it, the Calligraphy Association intends to promote" Ink and Cloud Smoke ". Now the art of calligraphy has been weakening, and there are not many young people interested in it. Opportunity, the art of calligraphy can also attract more attention. Of course, the calligraphy association is willing. Haven't you eaten yet? Go, please eat! "

Zhong Ming waved her hand: "Next time, I have an appointment."

Lao Jin was very upset: "Hey, boy. Forget it, remember," Lanting Episode "!"

Zhong Ming didn't bluff him, he really has an appointment.

Tang Ying knew that Zhong Ming was coming to Guanghua, so he made an appointment in advance to ask for dinner. It was also thanks to Zhong Ming for his help.

at night.

An upscale restaurant near the Guanghua Art Institute.

"Thank you for your help. I heard my sister talk about a lot of your affairs. I didn't expect it to be such a big mess. It is said that the original world architect left hundreds of thousands of pits? You still give Filled in? "

Although it was to thank Zhong Ming, Tang Ying was obviously very interested in things that Zhong Ming had helped before.

Zhong Ming was silent for a moment: "Strictly speaking, it was not filled in."

"Ah? Didn't fill it in?" Tang Ying was a little hesitant. "I heard that the feedback from the players is very good, and they said that the plot is particularly brilliant."

Zhong Ming smiled: "It was not filled in, it was just a trap made of ready-made pits, and then some small surprises and gifts were placed under the traps, so that when the player stepped into the pit, he would not think it was Pits, but it feels like carefully prepared content. "

"Yeah." Tang Ying hid his mouth and smiled. "You're so funny, the first time I saw you such a fun designer."

"How many designers have you met?" Zhong Ming asked.

Tang Ying: "Uh, just you."

She thought about it, and explained, "I mean, I used to think that designers were the kind of professionals who are particularly tall and professional.

Zhong Ming quickly shook his head: "No, no, this is a complete misunderstanding. In fact, most designers are internet addiction teenagers with a tendency to be autistic. They are similar to programmers, but they do n’t wear plaid shirts."

The two chatted casually, and Tang Ying talked about Tian Yuan's situation.

"Fantasy Time Studio seems to have had no work years ago. The entire studio is in a state of stocking. My sister still feels very boring. I can't be envious. I want a vacation. It's difficult. Sometimes I want to take a day off. It was said that the ace pigeon was a pigeon again, so mad. "

Zhong Ming smiled: "After all, your job is to broadcast live. Many viewers feel that the live broadcast has no technical content, and feel that the broadcast time is less lazy. Actually, the anchor is also very tired."

"Then," Ink and Smoke "won the first prize, should it be released next?" Tang Ying asked.

Zhong Ming nodded: "Yes, these things were mainly these years ago. If you are after the year, you are going to change your work place and recruit a few more people."

"Changing your work place?"

"Yes, we have to rent a formal office building. We can't always stay in private houses, and we can't hold so many people."

Tang Ying was interested: "Come to Guanghua City, when I'm fine, I can go and see the new games you make."

Zhong Ming smirked and said, "Ah? Then I have to move the entire company and all the employees. That's a lot of work. If you want to see it, how easy it is to move to Ming'an."

Tang Ying was silent for a moment: "I'm lazy ... hey, okay, this matter will be discussed later. So, can you inquire a little, what is the next game going to do?"

Tang Ying was really curious about this.

So far, Lowlight Studio is mainly engaged in independent games.

"Three Ways to Stay", "Working Dog Survival Manual", "Ink and Smoke", these three game types are different, but all have received good results.

Tang Ying felt that Weiguang Studio should be able to produce some large-scale games. Zhong Ming said that it was necessary to recruit people for the purpose of developing large-scale games.

Zhong Ming sold a key point: "I'll make another indie game after the year, and then I can start making some big games."

...

the next day.

Zhong Ming returned to the studio.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Sen asked, "Hey, Zhong Ming is back! What about it, did you get the prize?"

"Just a joke ~ www.readwn.com ~ The first prize of 1.8 million is here, what do you think." Zhong Ming sat down on the sofa.

"It's over, you're inflated." Zhou Sen said with emotion. "Ah, think of it this way, time flies so fast, it seems that I was still playing with Lightwing Entertainment yesterday. In a blink of an eye, I have made three games."

"Three games have all been completed. I told some of my classmates who were also in the game industry. They all expressed their envy, jealousy and hatred, and said that my ancestor's grave was smoking." Brother Dahui teased.

An independent game studio has made three games in three or four months, and all of them have been well received, and the sales and reputation are very good, which is already a miracle.

"Come, let's take a look together, where is our new office address?"

Zhong Ming opened the rental app on the bracelet and searched for a suitable office address.

A lot of people will be recruited after the year. This place will definitely not be able to fit, and it must be changed to some regular office buildings. But where to move, this has to be discussed from the long-term. After all, different office buildings have different rents, environments, and so on. Zhong Ming himself is not good at making decisions. Let ’s take a look.
