Chapter 251 Rhythm Master: Simple Operation, Isn't It Enough to Have Hands? (Subscribe)

As the most basic game competition, the Music Special Game Festival does not have an offline exhibition hall.

However, as usual, major official platforms will set up a special activity area, and the participating games will be uploaded to the activity area. After the Music Special Game Festival begins, players can download and try it out by themselves.

Although the Music Special Game Festival is only the most basic game competition. As the highlight of the Sichuan Game Association this year, at least in its own small piece of land, it still has some face.

No offline exhibition hall?

The competition activities have little impact?

The number of participating manufacturers is not large?

Players' attention is not high?

None of these are problems!

The Sichuan Game Association has joined forces with major live broadcast platforms to broadcast the Music Special Game Festival simultaneously. In the form of a live broadcast competition, the major awards of the first Music Special Game Festival will be selected. There are special prizes, first, second, third prizes, and winning prizes.

As long as players watch for more than ten minutes in the official live broadcast room, they can get voting qualifications and vote for their favorite games. In this way, it is considered to increase the popularity and influence of the Music Special Game Festival in disguise.

Of course, as the first music-specific game festival in Sichuan Province, since there is a player voting session, it will naturally be very cautious and use technical means to avoid the screen-sweeping of participating manufacturers with ulterior motives.

However...

In this music-specific game festival, players and manufacturers know that Taipingdao is involved, and no one will be stupid enough to make themselves a laughing stock in the game circle by swiping votes.

Although the music-specific game festival is not as valuable as the college student game festival, the winner of the Golden Young Lion Badge of the college student game festival only has a bonus of 300,000 yuan, and only 600,000 yuan for breaking the record. As for the reward for the official recommendation position, the specifications are not high.

The special prize of the music-specific game festival, without breaking the record, has a bonus of 500,000 yuan, of course... there is no record-breaking music-specific game festival.

The Sichuan Provincial Game Association has also reached a promise with major official platforms in private that the winning games and the official recommendation positions they obtain will have a higher gold content than the college student game festival, which can also make up for the defect of no record-breaking bonus.

At 2 pm, the music-specific game festival officially began.

Major official platforms immediately broadcast live simultaneously.

"Oh wow, first place!"

"Grab the couch!"

"Let me see what's going on!"

"Small music game, easily won!"

"Live broadcast selection? No matter who holds the first game festival, they like to do some fancy things? I like it!"

"Live broadcast selection? Who are the judges?"

"Who knows, I'm here for General Tiangong's Rhythm Master."

"No matter whose competition it is, as long as the old thief participates, my Yellow Turban Army will definitely help out!"

A large number of players and spectators rushed into the live broadcast room at the first time, and nearly 70% of them came for the Rhythm Master.

The host walked to the front of the stage, raised the microphone and briefly introduced the rules of this competition, then waved his hand and pointed behind him, introducing the three judges.

They are -

The first judge Chu Tiankuo.

He is not only the president of the Sichuan Game Association, but also a senior game designer, and a leader of the older generation of the Sichuan game industry. He once taught at the Game Design College of Sichuan Art College and served as the dean. He has many students in Sichuan.

The second judge is Liuliu.

She is one of the few top female anchors in the game area. She has a strong influence in the game circle and is known as the Cyber ​​​​Postgraduate Entrance Examination Tutor. Her understanding of games and even her analysis of games are far better than other game anchors.

The third judge is Li Ying.

The Yinqueshan Game Company she founded is the leading game company in the field of domestic music games. It is also called the godmother of music games by people in this small circle. Logically speaking, Li Ying cannot be invited to participate in such a competition, but there are exceptions.

On the one hand, she has a very good personal relationship with Chu Tiankuo and is entrusted by someone.

On the other hand, she learned that Taipingdao would participate in the competition and was curious.

Li Ying has spent half her life on the small theme of music games. In her cognition, she has almost reached the peak of this theme. It is said that stones from other mountains can polish jade.

She also wants to see whether Cai Gou, the most prominent person in the game industry, can innovate and change the stagnant environment of music games when he first dabbles in music games.

Official representatives, player representatives, and representatives of experts in related fields. As soon as the three judges appeared, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room reached a climax. Is this a real deal?

Even if it is a higher-level competition, it may not be possible to invite Li Ying to come out!

"Wow? Such a big scene?"

"Ah Zhen, are you serious?"

"The anticipation is rising all of a sudden!"

"Great, exciting! It is really a big scene!"

The host continued: "The first Sichuan Province Music Special Game Festival has officially begun. There are a total of 108 games participating in this competition. The official will break up the order of the games and let the three judges randomly try out a game at the same time."

"Each game has a maximum trial time of fifteen minutes. Of course, if the judges are not interested in this game, they can switch to the next game at any time. During this period, if the trial time of the three judges of a game is less than three minutes, they will be eliminated directly until all the games are evaluated."

"Finally, we enter the game scoring phase. The three judges will score the games in three levels: top, middle, and bottom. The game's awards, sales, and official recommendation are all closely related to the final game's score. Players can also vote for their favorite games at the same time!"

After introducing the rules, the official live broadcast room expanded into four grids.

Three judges each occupied a grid, and players could watch the judges' first-person perspective of trying out the game in real time. The host occupied the last grid, and the introduction information of the next game would be displayed in advance.

The three judges chatted with the fans who entered their live broadcast rooms and introduced a few words, and started to evaluate the games at the same time.

The first game [Note Collision] has a very simple game mode and gameplay. Players play the corresponding music rhythm through the collision of different notes according to the requirements of the current level.

Liu Liu, as the least qualified judge among the three judges, was very considerate and tried out the game for three minutes when the other two judges switched games in less than a minute.

But the gameplay of this game is too monotonous and there is nothing new. After three minutes, Liu Liu chose to switch to the next game. The host also introduced the manufacturer of this game and the details of the game in real time.

Although the rules say that a game has a maximum of fifteen minutes to evaluate, there are a total of 108 games. How can we have enough time to evaluate them so carefully?

Among them, a large part of the games are obviously to be quickly screened out.

Time passed slowly, one game after another appeared, and one game after another ended.

If each game has its own flowering period, then in the music special game festival, the flowering period of these flowers is very short.

Three hours later.

When the water friends in the live broadcast room were a little drowsy, the host introduced:

"The next one to be evaluated is the first music game developed by Taipingdao manufacturer - Rhythm Master!"

As soon as this was said, the water friends in the live broadcast room were no longer sleepy.

Even the judges who were evaluating the game in their hands changed their expressions.

Finally waited for you... Fortunately, I didn't give up.

"Woo woo woo, have we finally waited for the old thief to appear?"

"Isn't this three-hour foreplay too long?"

"The main course is here, the main course is here!"

"The Yellow Turban Army assembles!"

"Brothers, Liang guys, vote for me later!"

"I've been thirsty for my big vote!"

The host continued to introduce: "Taipingdao is known as the southeast in Sichuan Province, and is even more known as the stabilizer of Sichuan Province in the game industry. It has many honors such as military-industrial cooperative enterprises and civil aviation cooperative enterprises."

"The soul designer of Taipingdao is General Tiangong, who is affectionately called the old thief by players. From the Golden Young Lion Badge to the Green Bamboo Badge to the Benchmark Model Badge, he has long become a business card in the game industry."

"Although Rhythm Master is Taipingdao's first foray into the field of music games, we have reason to believe that General Tiangong will bring us surprises."

After the voice fell, Liuliu completed the game review in his hand, and the three judges advanced to switch to the next game, and Rhythm Master made a brilliant appearance.

[Game name: Rhythm Master]

[Developer: Taipingdao Company]

[Type: Hardcore·Music·Breakthrough]

[Price: None]

[Message from the developer: Can you do it, noob! ]

A large number of fans poured into Li Ying's live broadcast room, and everyone wanted to watch the music game godmother's evaluation of Rhythm Master from a first-person perspective.

Li Ying's long white hair was tied into a bun on her head, and the whole person had an elegant and noble temperament. She opened the game and soothing background music sounded.

Enter the main interface of the game [Player Account] [Classic Mode] [Breakthrough Mode] [World Battle] […]

The game contains multiple modes. The mode selection buttons are centralized and integrated, and players can freely switch between star mode, free mode and other modes by clicking the [More Modes] button on the mode selection interface of the interface.

In classic mode, players can hit the falling notes to the rhythm of the music, or hit continuous melody notes by sliding to get a smooth game experience.

Of course, this requires players to consume a [Stamina] to play a game in free mode.

As for the level-breaking mode, players need to complete songs of different difficulty and completion conditions in different levels before they can pass the level. The accumulated number of levels passed can also be ranked in the friend relationship chain.

In each level, players need to challenge a specified song and meet the level-clearing conditions before they can pass the level and start the next level. While challenging the level, players can also compete with their friends to see who has more levels.

Players can challenge the level by consuming a lightning-shaped [physical strength], and the level is successful if the completion conditions are met.

The account in the hands of the judges is a special evaluation account, and all the content has been unlocked.

But in accordance with Li Ying's rigorous style, she still chose to check the most basic classic mode first, and the song she selected was——

[Don't listen to slow songs when you are sad]

She said in her heart: "Little guy, I hope you don't let me down!"

After entering the game, the game interface shows four areas of the same area, and then each area lights up, and cursors fall one after another.

Li Ying clicks the corresponding area in the order of the falling cursors.

As the cursor is perfectly triggered, the melody of the song unfolds.

[You are too tired to cry, you are too hurt]

[You love too foolishly]

[You cry like the end of the world is coming]

In the live broadcast room, the fans immediately posted comments excitedly-

"This game is really easy to get started, and the difficulty is very low... I like it!"

"Damn, pop songs? This is rare!"

"Is each level a song? Then I can play for a hundred years!"

"Don't tell me, don't tell me, this game doesn't seem to be difficult!"

"Wow, this game, you just need hands!"

"Rhythm Master? I am also an old player in the music game circle, but I have never seen this game mode made by Lao Zei."

This kind of interface or this kind of game form is rare in music games. Li Ying's eyes lit up and she deliberately omitted a cursor. Sure enough, the lyrics did not appear.

In music games, players play games by making movements in accordance with music and rhythm.

Usually, if the player's movements match the rhythm, the score will be increased, otherwise the score will be deducted, and some works will even force the game to end due to too many mistakes.

In addition, some games require a certain score, and if it cannot be achieved, the game will end. This type of game mainly tests the player's grasp of rhythm, finger reaction and eyesight.

This is almost an unwritten rule in the music game designer circle.

When developing this type of game, game designers often design innovative points in the player's coordination with music and rhythm to make actions, constantly increasing the difficulty, making the threshold of this circle higher and higher.

Even Li Ying would not involuntarily lean towards this aspect when developing music games, but no manufacturer would think of doing the opposite.

Only the rhythm master of Taipingdao took a different approach.

After a song, Li Ying exhaled: "Falling, touch, music rhythm, puzzle game? Great!"

As a godmother-level designer in the field of music games, Li Ying gave a clear and concise definition of this game after a simple trial play.

Easy to get started...

Means a large audience!

Popular music...

Means high popularity!

Novel gameplay...

Means a new trend!

Li Ying is over 50 years old. She was originally elegant and calm, even when facing a disaster, she remained calm. But when she saw the rhythm master in front of her, she felt like she had found a treasure and thought it was an excellent game.

She understood... the emergence of rhythm master has opened up a smooth road for the music game circle.

"Good game, absolutely good game!" Li Ying praised the fans in the live broadcast room:

"It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to meet General Tiangong... otherwise I really want to ask him for advice."

Players: "!!!"

Fans: "!!!"

Judges: "!!!"

The whole audience was shocked for a moment, even Chu Tiankuo and Liuliu on the side were shocked when they heard it.

Who is Li Ying?

Godmother of music games!

Who has ever seen her praise a music game so much?

I am here today!

I am open-minded today!

But...

In the eyes of players, rhythm master is not hardcore at all.

Rhythm master does not match the usual tonality of Taipingdao.

And the operation is simple, just have hands.

What is the charm of this game?

Can Li Ying say this?
