Almighty Game Designer Chapter 7: Can this be considered a game?

It's time for an hour of gaming experience.

　　

　　The host came to the stage.

　　

　　"Okay, the game experience time is over! I wonder if you have found a game you like?"

　　

　　"Then, the game will continue to the next stage. First, let's take a look at the results of each of these twenty games. Please look at the big screen."

　　

　　The audience looked at the big screen, which showed the total online time and the number of recommendations for these twenty games.

　　

　　 The audience was in an uproar!

　　

　　 "Damn it, fake it?"

　　

　　"This, is this game so nonsense? Crazy?"

　　

　　"How can the data difference be so much?"

　　

　　"The dog's eyes are blind! Host, is there a shady scene!"

　　

　　 On the big screen, everyone's eyes were attracted by the data of "flappybird", which read: The total game time is 349 hours, and the recommended number is 544!

　　

　　 And the second place game "Hunter Island" only has a total game time of 92 hours, and the recommended number is 330!

　　

　　 The host was also taken aback, he himself just learned the data, just like the audience, his first reaction was that the data was wrong!

　　

　　The three judges also looked at each other, and they couldn't believe the data.

　　

　　What is the concept of this data? The total number of spectators present is 700, and these people spend an average of half an hour on this game!

　　

　　 544 out of 700 people are willing to share this game with others to play.

　　

　　 This data is simply a bit against the sky!

　　

　　 Chen Mo didn't have too many surprises. This data was basically in his expectation.

　　

　　 Actually, "flappybird" is not a very fascinating game, on the contrary, it is very self-abusing. If this game is hanging on the app market for players to play, most people may turn it off in five minutes.

　　

　　 However, now the audience is on the scene of the design competition. The competitors of "flappybird" are not those mature game works, but the entry-level game works that have made a mess.

　　

　　Other works basically won’t attract the audience for too long, so most viewers will still choose to come back to score points, and even some more persistent viewers spend all their time on the scores of "flappybird" .

　　

　　 In this way, it is normal for "flappybird" to be able to run so much time.

　　

　　 The host pressed his headset and whispered a few words. After a while, he raised his head and said to the audience: "Dear audience, I have just confirmed with the backstage technicians that the data is correct. The final data of ten games."

　　

　　 There was still a commotion in the field.

　　

　　 Many viewers still don't believe that "flappybird" can achieve such results, especially those who have no feeling for this kind of game and immediately shut down after playing it.

　　

　　 However, most viewers still accepted this fact.

　　

　　"This game is really so powerful? Such a simple pixel style, such a simple gameplay, unexpectedly number one? It surpassed the second place so much!"

　　

　　 "What is weird about this, how much time do you spend on this game?"

　　

　　 "...forty minutes."

　　

　　 "It took me nearly an hour! I've been patronizing points, and I'm still a little dizzy."

　　

　　 "Yeah, as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw that stupid bird jumping and jumping there, and I couldn't help but think about it..."

　　

　　"Look, there are nearly 600 people on this ranking. The top two hundred have scores above 20, and there are still a lot of forty to fifty points. How long do you think about playing to get 20 points? "

　　

　　 "This...it takes twenty minutes... if you feel bad, you may not be able to succeed in one hour."

　　

　　 "So, this is its real data."

　　

　　 "It's really...this game is against the sky..." The audience who didn't believe it at this time also began to be suspicious.

　　

　　 The host coughed slightly: "Okay, since the technical staff has confirmed that the results are true and valid, then our current number one is "flappybird" by designer No. 7!"

　　

　　"Next is the comment section of the judges. After the comment is over, the audience will have the next round of recommendation section."

　　

　　 The host paused and continued: "I need to remind everyone that the current game "flappybird" leads the second place in terms of game length and recommendation. According to the rules, each recommendation of the player is equivalent In 30 minutes of game time, that is to say, only the second game "Hunter Island" exceeds 128 recommendations of "flappybird" in order to compete for the first place."

　　

　　"Then, let the three judges comment."

　　

　　 The host raised his hand and signaled that the three judges could start speaking.

　　

　　The three judges looked at each other, Qiu Hengyang said to Shi Huazhe: "Senior should speak first."

　　

　　 These three people are all B-level designers, and they do not work in the same company. There is no difference in status. Shi Huazhe is the oldest, so Lin Hai and Qiu Hengyang both respect him, let him speak first.

　　

　　 Shi Huazhe's face was pale, he moved the microphone on the table to his mouth and cleared his throat lowly.

　　

　　"Can this be considered a game?! I am the first to disagree! If this can also be considered a game, isn't it something that both cats and dogs can develop?!"

　　

　　 "Can a street singer count as a singer?!"

　　

　　 "Can the graffiti on the wall count as a painter?!"

　　

　　 "When writing prose, hit a few more carriage returns, even if you are a modern poet?!"

　　

　　 "Making a fool!"

　　

　　 Shi Huazhe was obviously very angry, and hit the table with his knuckles.

　　

　　"First of all, this game does not have any plot, the gameplay is single, the screen is rough, and the hand feel is extremely bad! So I say that as a game, it fails at the production level!"

　　

　　"Secondly, this game completely exploited a loophole, relying on stimulating players to compare, stimulate players' fluke psychology, and forcefully extend the game time!"

　　

　　"So, the data that everyone sees, whether the game is long or recommended, these data are all false! Why, because it is a crooked way!"

　　

　　"In view of this, my attitude is very clear. I firmly disagree with this game becoming the number one!"

　　

　　 Shi Huazhe finished speaking, pushed the microphone aside, and panted heavily.

　　

　　 "Good! Teacher Shi said it well!"

　　

　　 didn't know who yelled, and the audience burst into laughter.

　　

　　 This shout came from the contestants, mostly the author of "Hunter Island".

　　

　　 Chen Mo calmly unscrewed the mineral water on the table and took a sip. Shi Huazhe's reaction was also expected.

　　

　　 Obviously, Shi Huazhe is very disgusted with this kind of game, because he is a handicapped ~ IndoMTL.com~ completely does not realize the fun of scoring.

　　

　　 And Chen Mo's super focus device made Shi Huazhe forcibly abused in this game for ten minutes, and it was reasonable for him to hold back his stomach.

　　

　　 The host obviously didn’t expect Shi Huazhe to get such a big fire, so he quickly changed the topic: "Okay, Mr. Shi Huazhe has already put forward his own views. Next, Mr. Lin Hai."

　　

　　 Lin Hai looked at Shi Huazhe with a dilemma, then looked at the game "flappybird", hesitated for a moment before turning on the microphone.

　　

　　"This game...I agree with Mr. Shi Huazhe. The gameplay itself is really not very rich, and the quality is not very high. From the quality point of view, it is really not worthy of this competition. First place."

　　

　　 Lin Hay paused, and the conversation changed: "But... I think since it can achieve the current results, the game length and the number of recommendations are good, then the player recognizes it. So, I still have reservations and leave the final decision to the audience."
