Chapter 4 Competition Rules
After sitting in the seat, Chen Mo began to observe the situation at the competition site.
The audience had already entered the venue, with about 700 people, chatting and laughing, or playing with their mobile phones.
The communication technology in this world is very advanced. An ordinary phone card has hundreds of g of traffic every month, and the signal is very good. In addition, the wireless network covered by blockbusters basically uses your phone to watch videos and live broadcasts, and the traffic is enough.
Chen Mo thinks that this should be one of the reasons why mobile games in this world are underdeveloped. Most people go home to play VR games, and mobile games are just played when they are bored, and they are squeezed by movies, TV series, variety shows, live broadcasts, news, social networking and other activities.
You should know that entertainment in parallel worlds is very developed, and there are many alternatives to games. In addition, traffic is almost cost-effective. You can watch movies and TV series as you want, and many people don’t play mobile games.
Of course, most of the audiences on the scene should love to play games, especially mobile game enthusiasts.
Only mobile game enthusiasts will come to such competitions as audiences.
After all, this game design competition is relatively basic, and there are not many D-level game designers among the contestants. What games can be designed?
At most, I can only make a few simpler casual mobile games.
I guess many of these audiences watched with free tickets, and they didn't have much hope for the excitement of this competition.
There are three more judges who have just entered the venue.
There were identity signs on the tables of the three judges. Chen Mo searched with his mobile phone and quickly found the identities of these three judges.
Shi Huazhe, 47 years old, is a B-level game designer. He used to be a designer at Dichao Interactive Entertainment, and is now retired. He is a game review expert.
Lin Hai, 39 years old, B-level game designer, Zen Interactive Entertainment designer, has now entered the management team and no longer participate in game research and development. Game review expert.
Qiu Hengyang, 27 years old, B-level game designer, founder of Hengyou.com.
The ages of these three people happen to be an arithmetic sequence, 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 still different.
Dichao Interactive Entertainment and Zen Interactive Entertainment are the two best game research and development companies in China now. They basically divide more than 80% of the domestic game market, and a large number of game designers like to go to gilder here.
However, it is not to say that the two companies must be powerful figures. For example, Shi Huazhe, although he had worked in the Imperial Dynasty Interactive Entertainment, had one or two works that were acceptable, but he actually had no real talent and knowledge. He was purely a result of the years.
As for Lin Hai, his design level is much better than Shi Huazhe, but since he chose to transform into management, his level will definitely decline after he is not in the front line of R&D.
It seems that 27-year-old Qiu Hengyang has the highest level. He has become a B-level designer at a young age and is the founder of Hengyou.com. His future is much brighter than the previous two.
"I hope these three elder brothers will be proud of themselves, at least one of them can pass my game..." Chen Mo prayed secretly in his heart.
The other contestants were also very nervous. There were 20 contestants this time, but the highest reward was only for the champion.
Although the qualification of a D-level designer is also relatively important, it is obvious that those who come to participate in the competition are all for the 300,000 yuan and the experience store. If you can't win the championship, the competition will not be of much significance.
Soon, the competition officially began.
The host warms up the scene.
Reincarnation leads to resignation.
Introducing the judges.
The judges made a speech.
...
A series of lengthy foreplays ended and finally got to the point.
The host looked at the sleepy audience in the venue. Among the seven hundred people, four hundred were playing with their mobile phones, more than two hundred were whispering, and some viewers even sat down in their seats and fell asleep.
There is no way, these steps cannot be omitted from the official activities.
"Ahem."
The host cleared his throat twice and signaled the audience to wake up, and the topic was about to begin.
"Okay, I will enter the highlight of this competition next, that is, the selection process. Please allow me to reiterate the rules of this competition."
"All the audience have already got a tablet for evaluation, and the game works of twenty contestants have been installed on it."
Chen Mo looked at it and found that there was a tablet computer fixed on the table in front of the audience's seats, and each audience member had it. As soon as the host finished speaking, the tablet computer automatically turned on.
"Dear viewers can choose games on their tablets to experience them for a limited time of one hour. At the same time, a brief introduction to each game will be played on our large screen."
"When you exit the game, you can choose [Recommended] or [Don't recommend]. The recommendation means that you are willing to share this game with your friends."
"Our three judges will also try these twenty games during this period."
"After an hour, we will count the total duration and recommendations for each game, and use this as a basis for ranking the game."
"After this, it is the judges' comments. After the judges' comments, the audience will get another chance to choose [Recommended] or [Don't Recommend] for each game."
"Finally, with the game duration plus the number of recommendations, these two games ranked first in the overall number of data, their designers will become the first in this game design competition!"
The host changed his tone and emphasized: "However, there is another point that please pay attention to. If the three judges unanimously disagree with the first place game after the first place game is selected, it will be invalidated directly, and the original second place will become the first place, and so on."
"Everyone, do you all know the rules?"
"Okay, then an hour of experience time, now, start!"
There is no need for the host to announce it, and the audience has already started playing with great enthusiasm.
Chen Mo had known the rules of the game for a long time, so he was a little worried about these three judges.
In this selection rule, the role of the audience is very important, because the audience's game duration 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 commented on the comments. After the comments, the audience will have another round of votes.
In other words, the judges can guide the wind direction. If the data of the two games are similar and the judges will make a big splash on 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 not qualified, it will be useless even if they get the first place 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, such rules are meaningless and very stupid.
But after all, he is a contestant now and can only obey the rules honestly.
