Almighty Game Designer Chapter 4: Game rules


  After sitting in his seat, Chen Mo began to observe the situation at the game.

   The audience has already entered the venue. There are about 700 people, all chatting and laughing, or playing with their mobile phones.

   The communication technology in this world is very advanced. An ordinary phone card has hundreds of gigabytes of traffic per month, and the signal is very good. Coupled with the large-scale coverage of the wireless network, basically using mobile phones to watch videos and watch live broadcasts, and the traffic is enough.

   Chen Mo feels that this should also be one of the reasons why mobile games in this world are underdeveloped. Most people get home to play VR games, and mobile games are only played during this boring time, and they are also squeezed by movies, TV series, variety shows, live broadcasts, news, social activities and other activities.

   You should know that the entertainment in the parallel world is very developed. There are many alternatives to games. In addition, the traffic is almost free. Movies and TV series can be watched whatever they want. Many people don't play mobile games.

   Of course, most of the audience at the scene should love to play games, especially mobile game lovers.

  , only mobile game enthusiasts will come to this kind of competition as spectators.

   After all, this game design competition is relatively elementary. There are not a few D-level game designers among the contestants. What games can be designed?

   has made a few simpler casual mobile games at most.

   These spectators, it is estimated that many of them came with free tickets, and they didn't have much hope for the excitement of this competition.

   There are three more judges who have just entered.

  The three judges have identity signs on their desks. Chen Mo searched with his mobile phone and quickly found the identities of the three judges.

   Shi Huazhe, 47 years old, B-level game designer. Once worked as a designer in Dichao Huyu, he has now retired as a game evaluation expert.

   Lin Hai, 39 years old, B-level game designer. Zen Mutual Entertainment designer has now entered the management and no longer participates in game development. Game evaluation expert.

   Qiu Hengyang, 27 years old, B-level game designer. Founder of Hengyou.com.

   The ages of these three people are just an arithmetic series, in their twenties, thirties, and forties, which basically cover the golden age of game designers.

   Although they are all B-level designers on the surface, their actual abilities are different.

  Dichao Mutual Entertainment and Zen Yi Mutual Entertainment are currently the two best game development companies in China. They basically carve up more than 80% of the domestic game market. A large number of game designers like to go there for gilding.

   However, it does not mean that these two companies must be powerful characters. For example, Shi Huazhe, although he used to entertain each other in the imperial dynasty, there are also one or two decent works, but in fact there is no real talent, pure It was made through years.

   As for Lin Hai, his design level is much better than that of Shi Huazhe, but since he has chosen to transform into the management, his level will definitely decline after he is not on the front line of research and development.

  , it seems that Qiu Hengyang, 27, has the highest level. He has become a B-level designer at a young age. He is also the founder of Hengyou.com, and his future is much brighter than the previous two.

   "I hope these three elder brothers will hold their hands high, at least one of them will let my game pass..." Chen Mo prayed secretly in his heart.

  The other players are also very worried. There are 20 players in this contest, but the highest reward is only for the champion.

   Although the qualifications of D-level designers are also more important, it is clear that those who come to participate in the competition are all for the 300,000 and experience stores. If you can't win the championship, the competition is of little significance.

   Soon, the game officially began.

  The host warms up.

  Leader's speech.

   introduce the judges.

  The judges speak.

  ……

   After a long series of foreplay ended, I finally got to the point.

   The host looked at the drowsy audience in the venue. Among the 700 people, 400 people were playing mobile phones, more than 200 people were whispering to each other, and some audience members even fell asleep directly in their seats.

  No way, these steps cannot be omitted for official activities.

   "Ahem."

   The host cleared his throat twice and signaled the audience to wake up and the topic was about to begin.

   "Okay, I will soon enter the highlight of this competition, which is the selection process. Please allow me to repeat the rules of this competition."

   "Every audience has already got a tablet for evaluation, on which the game works of 20 contestants have been installed."

  Chen Mo took a look, and there was a tablet computer fixed on the table in front of the audience seats. Every audience had it. As soon as the host's voice fell, the tablet computer turned on automatically.

   "You can choose the game on the tablet for one hour. At the same time, a brief introduction of each game will be shown on our big screen."

  "When you quit the game, you can choose either [Recommended] or [Not recommended]. Recommendation means that you are willing to share this game with your friends."

  "Our three judges will also try out these 20 games during this period."

  "In one hour, we will count everyone’s total time spent on each game and the number of recommendations, and use this as a basis to rank the game."

  "After this, there will be the judges' comments. After the judges' comments, the audience will get another chance~IndoMTL.com~choose [recommended] or [not recommended] for each game."

  "Finally, the game duration plus the number of recommendations, these two data comprehensively ranked the game, its designer will become the first place in this game design competition!"

   The host changed his words and emphasized: "However, there is one more point, please note that the players. If the first place game is selected and the three judges unanimously do not approve it, it will be directly invalidated. The first name becomes the first, and so on."

   "Everyone, do you know the rules?"

   "Okay, then one hour experience time, now, start!"

  , there is no need for the host to announce, the audience has already started playing enthusiastically.

  The rules of the game, Chen Mo had known for a long time, so he was a little worried about these three judges.

  In this selection rule, the role of the audience is very important, because the audience’s game duration plus the number of recommendations directly determines the ranking of the game.

   However, the role of judges is more important.

   First of all, the judges have a comment section. After the comment section is over, the audience will have another round of voting.

   In other words, the judges can guide the wind direction. If the data of two games are similar, then the judges make a big fuss about one of the games, then the result is self-evident.

  Secondly, the judges have the ultimate veto power. Once the three judges agree that the game is unqualified, it is useless to win the first place and will be directly disqualified.

   This is probably because the world respects the professionalism of game design, but in Chen Mo's view, such rules are meaningless and very stupid.

   But after all, he is now a contestant and can only obey the rules honestly.

   At this time, Chen Mo's game was introduced on the big screen.
