Chapter 4 Contest Rules
After taking his seat, Chen Mo began to observe the situation at the game site.
The audience has already entered, and there are about 700 people, all chatting and laughing, or playing with mobile phones.
The communication technology in this world is very advanced, and an ordinary phone card has hundreds of gigabytes of traffic every month, and the signal is very good. Coupled with the wireless network covered by a large area, basically use the mobile phone to watch videos and 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 not developed. Most people play VR games at home, and mobile games are just played when they are bored, and they are squeezed by movies, TV series, variety shows, live broadcasts, news, social and other activities.
You must know that the entertainment in the parallel world is very developed, there are many alternatives to games, plus the traffic is almost free of money, movies and TV series can be watched as much as they want, and many people don't play mobile games.
Of course, most of the audience at the scene should love to play games, especially mobile game enthusiasts.
That's why only mobile game enthusiasts will come to this kind of competition as spectators.
After all, this game design competition is relatively beginner, and there are few D-level game designers among the contestants, so what games can they design?
At most, I will make a few relatively simple casual mobile games.
These spectators, it is estimated that many of them came to see it with free tickets, and they didn't have much hope for the excitement of this competition.
There are also three judges, who have just entered.
The three judges had identity tags on their tables, and Chen Mo searched for his mobile phone and quickly found the identities of the three judges.
Shi Huazhe, 47 years old, is a B-level game designer. He used to work as a designer at Imperial Interactive Entertainment, and now he is retired as a game review expert.
Lin Hai, 39 years old, is a B-level game designer. Zen Interactive Entertainment Designer has now entered the management team and is no longer involved in game development. Game review experts.
Qiu Hengyang, 27 years old, is a B-level game designer. Founder of Hengyou.com.
The ages of these three people are exactly a series of equal differences, in their twenties, thirties, and forties, which basically covers the golden age of game designers.
Although they are all B-level designers on the surface, their actual abilities are still different.
Imperial Interactive Entertainment and Zen Interactive Entertainment are now the two best game development companies in China, basically carving up more than 80% of the domestic game market, and a large number of game designers like to go to gild here.
However, it doesn't mean that these two companies must be powerful people, like Shi Huazhe, although he has entertained each other in the imperial dynasty, and there are one or two works that are passable, but in fact, there is no real talent to learn, it is purely out of the years.
As for Lin Hai, his design level is much stronger than Shi Huazhe, but since he has chosen to transform into a management team, his level will definitely decline after he is not on the front line of R&D.
It seems that the 27-year-old Qiu Hengyang has the highest level, he became a B-level designer at a young age, and he is the founder of Hengyou.com, and his future is much brighter than the previous two.
"I hope that these three big brothers will raise their noble hands, at least one of them can let my game pass......" Chen Mo secretly prayed in his heart.
The other contestants were also quite apprehensive, and there were a total of 20 contestants this time, but the highest reward was only for the champion.
Although the qualifications of D-level designers are also more important, it is obvious that those who come to participate in the competition are for the 300,000 yuan and the experience store, and if they don't win the championship, this competition is of little significance.
Soon, the competition officially began.
The host warms up.
Leader's speech.
Introduce the judges.
The judges spoke.
……
A series of lengthy foreplays ended, and finally got to the point.
The host looked at the drowsy audience in the venue, 400 of the 700 people were playing with their mobile phones, more than 200 people were talking to each other, and some of the audience even fell asleep directly in their seats.
There is 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 main topic was about to begin.
"Okay, now we're about to get to the highlight of this competition, which is the selection process, so allow me to reiterate the rules of this competition."
"All the viewers have already got a tablet for evaluation, and the game works of 20 contestants have been installed on it."
Chen Mo looked at it, and there was a tablet fixed on the table in front of the audience's seats, and every audience member had it. As soon as the host's voice fell, the tablet automatically turned on.
"Viewers can choose to play the game on their tablet, and it's limited to one hour. At the same time, a brief introduction to each game is shown on our big screen. ”
"When you exit the game, you can choose [Recommended] or [Not Recommended]. A recommendation means that you are willing to share the game with your friends. ”
"Our three judges will also try out these 20 games during this period."
"After an hour, we'll count the total time spent on each game and the number of recommendations and rank the games based on that."
After that, it's time for the judges to comment. After the judges' review session, the audience will have another chance to choose whether to "Recommend" or "Not Recommended" for each game. ”
"Finally, the game length plus the number of recommendations, the two games that rank first in the overall data, 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 that please pay attention to the players. If the first place game is selected and the three judges unanimously disapprove it, it will be invalidated, and the original second place will become the first place, and so on. ”
"Everyone, do you know the rules?"
"Okay, so one hour of experience time, now, let's go!"
There is no need for the host to announce, the audience has already started playing with great interest.
Chen Mo already knew the rules of this game, so he was a little worried about the three judges.
In this selection rule, the role of the audience is very important, because the audience's game time plus the number of recommendations directly determines the ranking of the game.
However, the role of the judges is more important.
First of all, the judges have a comment session, and after the comment session, the audience has another round of voting.
In other words, the judges can steer the wind, and if two games are similar, and then the judges blow up one of the games, the results speak for themselves.
Secondly, the judges have the ultimate veto power, and once the three judges unanimously agree that the game is not qualified, then even if they get the first place, it is useless and will be directly disqualified.
This is probably because of the world's respect for the professionalism of game design, but in Chen Mo's opinion, this kind of rule is meaningless and very stupid.
But after all, he is a contestant now, and he can only honestly follow the rules.
At this time, Chen Mo's game was introduced on the big screen.
