Certificates will be awarded to the winning designers, and the winning games will be recommended by the official app market for one month.
It was signed by the "Games and Virtual Reality Technical Committee", and the time was yesterday.
The corners of Chen Mo's mouth twitched slightly.
Isn't this just a proper official document?
Even the punctuation marks have a strong official taste!
And, what the hell is the "Games & Virtual Reality Technical Committee"? Chen Mo didn't have this department at all in his previous life!
Chen Mo only used the editor to make games before, and he really didn't pay attention to the relationship between the editor, the application market and the relevant departments.
After checking it on the Internet, Chen Mo suddenly realized.
This "Game and Virtual Reality Technical Committee", referred to as the "Game Committee", is really a serious relevant department, under the Ministry of Culture, and has a lot of power, basically the entire game industry is under its control.
As for why there is this department?
The advent of virtual reality technology has made various countries aware of the development prospects of this technology. As a simple example, military personnel can conduct actual combat training in the VR world, which is both safe and saves training costs.
Virtual reality technology can be used not only for games, but also in other fields, and its value is immeasurable.
However, if you want to use the editor to build a complete virtual reality world, it is still up to the designer to do it.
Therefore, this "game committee" came into being.
The world places such a high value on the gaming industry, of course, not because of any "artistic considerations", but because the gaming industry promotes the development of virtual reality technology, which can play a huge role in various fields.
In this way, the status of designers has also risen.
On behalf of the relevant departments of the state, they gathered the front-line scientific researchers in China to produce the Phantom Editor for the designers to use, and formulated a rating mechanism to allow the designers to continue to grow, and finally enter the field of VR games and make virtual reality games.
As for the official app store, it is also affiliated with the Gaming Committee. For games on the app store, 20% of the revenue is handed over, which is used by the game committee for daily expenses and R&D funds.
At this point, Chen Mo understood.
Why did Lin Mao tell him to pay attention to this matter? Because this event is organized by the tour committee! This is a proper department of the relevant department.
If the game is done well, the official will promote it, and maybe it will be in the news, then won't this popularity go crazy at that time?
"You really won't let me have a good rest."
Chen Mo originally said that he would rest for two days, but he came to work so soon.
This event seems to have plenty of time, but it is only one quarter, which is three months! In other words, Chen Mo had to make a game related to traditional Chinese culture within three months, and the quality must be excellent, and it must meet the requirements of the judges of the game committee.
Since you want to participate in the selection, you must be rushing to be the first.
"Chinoiserie games? Still want to educate and entertain? ”
Chen Mo has a few Chinese-style games in his heart now, but he hasn't thought too much about which one to do. After thinking about it for a while, let's meet with Lin Mao first.
……
In the barbecue restaurant, Chen Mo and Lin Mao were skewering.
The two of them haven't seen each other for a while, Chen Mo has been busy with games for a while, and basically doesn't have much time, this time the two of them chatted with each other, which is actually equivalent to relaxing and reducing pressure.
Lin Mao asked, "Have you read that notice?" ”
Chen Mo nodded: "Well, I saw it." But I haven't thought too much about what game I'm going to make. ”
Lin Mao said: "It's okay, don't worry, think slowly." In fact, this activity is not mandatory, if you have your own plans, it is okay not to participate. After all, your strength is in the Western Fantasy area, if you feel that the Chinese-style game is not doing well and can't get the ranking, then there is no need to bother with it. ”
Chen Mo picked up a string of tendons on the table: "I really want to do this theme." Since I entered the industry, the few games I've made are basically related to the theme of Western fantasy, and I really haven't made a Chinese-style game. ”
Lin Mao said: "If you want to do it, of course it's better, if you can get the ranking, it's the best." The recommendation is secondary, mainly to show your face in front of those people in the travel committee, which is more important. ”
Chen Mo was stunned: "Huh? The most important thing is this? ”
Lin Mao said: "What do you think. The entire game industry is under their control, of course, we don't say what will happen to offend them, and there is no need to offend, just say, if you can make them notice and even value you, it will be too important for future development. ”
Chen Mo nodded: "Well, it sounds like that." Then I have to prepare well and try to win the first prize. ”
Lin Mao waved his hand: "Don't count on the first prize, it's good to get a second prize and a third prize." ”
Chen Mo was puzzled: "Why?" ”
Lin Mao said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying to question your ability." The main thing is time, this event is only three months in total, which means that you have to make the game in three months. ”
Chen Mo nodded and said, "Yes, aren't the others also three months?" ”
Lin Mao shook his head: "Of course not!" Large companies like Imperial Mutual Entertainment and Zen Mutual Entertainment have insiders and are well-informed, and they already knew the news a month or two ago, and they have a full month or two more research and development period than you, how can you compare. ”
Chen Mo was shocked: "What's the matter?" Is that okay? ”
Lin Mao said: "Hey, why not, this news is not a secret within the game committee, as long as you know people, what is it difficult to get some rumors." Only designers like us would know about it after the announcement was issued. ”
Chen Modan said bitterly: "Speechless, is there still fairness in this activity?" ”
Lin Mao said: "Then you can't help it, this is basically an unspoken rule in the industry, everyone knows it, if we can develop to the level of Emperor Dynasty or Zen, we can also play like this." Right now? I can only relax. ”
