Chapter 7: Can This Be a Game?

It's time for an hour of gameplay.

The moderator came to the stage.

"Okay, it's game time! I wonder if you have found a game you like? ”

"So, let's move on to the next stage of the competition, first let's take a look at the results of each of these twenty games, please look at the big screen."

Viewers looked onto the big screen, which showed the total online time and recommended number of games for the twenty games.

The audience was in an uproar!

"Damn, fake, right?"

"This, this game is so nonsense? Lose your marbles? ”

"How can the data be so bad?"

"The dog is blind! Host, isn't there a shady scene? ”

On the big screen, everyone's eyes were drawn to the data of "Flappybird", which read: 349 hours of total game time, 544 recommendations!

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

The host was also stunned, he himself had just learned about these data, and like the audience, his first reaction was that the data was wrong!

The three judges also looked at each other, a little incredulous at this data.

The total number of spectators in attendance was 700 people, and these people spent an average of half an hour on the game!

544 out of 700 people are willing to share the 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 what he expected.

In fact, FlappyBird is not a very addictive game, on the contrary, it is very masochistic. If the game were to be played on the app market, most people would probably turn it off in five minutes.

But now that the audience is in the middle of a design contest, FlappyBird's competitors aren't full-fledged titles, but entry-level titles that have done a mess.

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

In this way, it is normal for "Flappybird" to be able to brush up on so many game durations.

The host whispered a few words through the headset, and after a while, he raised his head and said to the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have confirmed with the technical staff in the background just now that the data is correct, this is the final data of twenty games. ”

There was still a commotion in the venue.

Many viewers still don't believe that FlappyBird can achieve such results, especially those who are not interested in the game in the slightest and immediately turn it off after playing it.

However, most of the audience still accepted this fact.

"Is this game really that powerful? Such a simple pixel style, such a simple gameplay, is actually the first? It's so much more than the second place! ”

"What's so strange about that, think for yourself how much time you've spent on this game?"

“…… It had to be forty minutes. ”

"It took me almost an hour! I'm still a little dizzy. ”

"yes, as soon as I closed my eyes, I saw that stupid bird jumping there, and I couldn't help but want to order it......"

"You see, there are nearly 600 people on this list, and the top 200 have a score of over 20, and there are a lot of forty or fifty points, how long do you think you have to play to get 20 points?"

"This ...... It would take twenty minutes...... If it doesn't feel good, it may not be successful in an hour. ”

"So, that's the real data."

"Really...... This game is against the sky......" The audience who originally didn't believe it also began to doubt the belief at this time.

The host coughed lightly: "Okay, since the technicians have confirmed that the results are true and valid, then our current first place is the work of designer No. 7 "flappybird"! ”

"Next is the judges' comment session, and after the review, the audience will have the next round of recommendation."

The host paused and continued: "One thing to remind everyone is that at present, the game "Flappybird" is ahead of the second place in both game time and recommendations, according to the rules, each recommendation of a player is equal to 30 minutes of game time, that is, only the second game "Hunter Island" surpasses "Flappybird" by 128 recommendations, it is possible to compete for the first place. ”

"Next, let's ask the three judges to comment."

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

The three judges looked at each other, and Qiu Hengyang said to Shi Huazhe: "It's better for the seniors to speak first." ”

These three people are all B-level designers, and they don't 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 and let him say it first.

Shi Huazhe's face turned pale, and he moved the microphone on the table to his mouth, and cleared his throat in a low voice.

"This can also be considered a game?! I'm the first to disagree! If this can be considered a game, then isn't the game something that can be developed by cats and dogs?! ”

"Can a street singer be a singer?!"

"Can a graffiti on the wall be considered a painter?!"

"If you hit a few more carriage returns when writing prose, you will be considered a modern poet?!"

"Nonsense!"

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

"First of all, this game doesn't have any plot, the gameplay is single, the graphics are rough, and the feel is extremely poor! That's why I say it's a game that is not up to par in terms of production! ”

"Secondly, this game is completely exploiting a loophole, relying on stimulating players to compare, stimulating players' luck psychology, and forcibly extending the game time!"

"So, the data you see, whether it's the game time or the recommendation, these data are all virtual! Why, because it's going down a crooked path! ”

"In light of this, my attitude is clear, I strongly disagree with this game being number one!"

After Shi Huazhe finished speaking, he pushed the microphone to the side, and gasped heavily.

"Good! Teacher Shi said it well! ”

I don't know who shouted, and then the audience in the venue burst into laughter.

This cheer came from the contestants, most of whom were the authors of "Hunter Island".

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

Obviously, Shi Huazhe is very disgusted with this kind of game, because he is a handicapped and can't experience the fun of scoring at all.

And Chen Mo's super focuser made Shi Huazhe forcibly tortured in this game for ten minutes, and it was reasonable for him to hold back the fire in his belly.

The host obviously didn't expect Shi Huazhe to be so angry, so he quickly diverted the topic: "Okay, Mr. Shi Huazhe has already put forward his own opinion just now, and next, Mr. Lin Hai." ”

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

"What about this game...... I agree with Mr. Shi Huazhe one point, its own gameplay is really not very rich, and the quality is not very high, from the point of view of quality, it is really not worthy of the first place in this competition. ”

Lin Hai paused, and his words changed: "But what...... I think that since it has achieved its current results, the game time and the number of recommendations are good, which means that players recognize it. So, I still have reservations and leave the final decision to the audience. ”
