Chapter 4 Competition Rules

After taking 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 mobile phones.

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

Chen Mo felt that this should also be one of the reasons why the world's mobile games are underdeveloped. Most people play VR games when they get home, and mobile games are only played when they are bored. They are also squeezed by movies, TV series, variety shows, live broadcasts, news, social networking and other activities.

You must know that the entertainment in the parallel world is very developed, there are many substitutes for games, and the traffic is almost free. Movies and TV series can be watched 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.

Only mobile game enthusiasts will come to this kind of game as a spectator.

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

At most, it will make a few relatively simple casual mobile games.

It is estimated that many of these spectators are watching with gift tickets, and they did not have much hope for the excitement of this game.

There are three more judges, just entered.

The three judges had identification tags 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. He used to be a designer in Dichao Interactive Entertainment, and now he is retired as a game evaluation expert.

Lin Hai, 39 years old, B-level game designer. Zen Interactive Entertainment designer, has now entered the management team and no longer participates in game development work. Game review experts.

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

The ages of these three people happened to be an arithmetic progression, in their twenties, thirties, and forties, basically covering the golden age of game designers.

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

Dichao Interactive Entertainment and Zenyi Interactive Entertainment are two of the best game R&D companies in China. They basically share more than 80% of the domestic game market. A large number of game designers like to go gold-plated here.

However, it doesn't mean that the two companies come out with great people. Like Shi Huazhe, although he used to work in Dichao Mutual Entertainment, he also has one or two decent works, but in fact there is no real talent and real learning. boiled out.

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

In this way, 27-year-old Qiu Hengyang has the highest level. He became a B-level designer at a young age, and he is also the founder of Hengyou.com. His future is much brighter than the previous two.

"I hope these three big brothers will raise their hands, at least one of them will let me pass the game..." Chen Mo prayed secretly in his heart.

The other players were also quite nervous. There were 20 contestants this time, but the highest reward was only given to 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 all for the 300,000 and experience stores. If they cannot win the championship, the competition will be of little significance.

Soon, the game officially started.

The host warms up.

leader's speech.

Introduce the judges.

Judges speak.

...

A series of lengthy foreplay ended, and finally got to the point.

The host looked at the drowsy audience in the arena, 400 of the 700 people were playing with their mobile phones,

More than 200 people were chatting, and some audience members even fell asleep directly in their seats.

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

"Cough cough."

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

"Okay, I'm about to enter the main event of this competition, which is the selection process. Please allow me to reiterate the rules of this competition."

"Everyone in the audience has already got a tablet computer for evaluation, and the game works of 20 contestants have been installed on it."

Chen Mo looked at it. There was a tablet computer fixed on the table in front of the audience's seats, and every audience member had one. As soon as the host's voice fell, the tablet computer turned on automatically.

"Audiences can choose the game on their tablet to experience for an hour. At the same time, our big screen will play a brief introduction to each game."

"When you quit the game, you can choose [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 twenty games during this period."

"After one hour, we will count the total time and the number of recommendations on each game, and rank the games based on this."

"After that, it's the judges' review session. After the judges' review session, the audience will have another chance to choose [recommended] or [not recommended] for each game."

"Finally, the game duration plus the number of recommendations, the game that ranks first in these two data comprehensively, its designer will be the first in this game design competition!"

The host changed the conversation and emphasized: "However, there is one more point for players to pay attention to. If the three judges unanimously disagree after the first-place game is selected, then it will be cancelled directly, and the original second place will become the first place. One, and so on."

"Everyone, do you understand the rules?"

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

There was no need for the host to announce, the audience was already excited to play.

Chen Mo already knew the rules of the 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 section. After the comment section is over, the audience has another round of voting.

That is to say, the judges can guide the wind direction. If the two games have similar data, and then the judges brag about one of the games, the result will be self-evident.

Secondly, the judges have the ultimate veto power. Once the three judges unanimously believe 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.
