Almighty Game Designer

Chapter 8: Can This Be a Game?

Time for an hour of gameplay.

The moderator came to the stage.

“Okay, game experience time is over! I wonder if the audience has found their favorite game yet? ”

“So, as we move on to the next stage, let's start by looking at the results of each of these 20 games, and look at the big screen. ”

The audience looks on the big screen and it shows the total online length and number of recommendations for these 20 games.

The audience is loud!

“Holy shit, is that a fake? ”

“This, this game is so bullshit? Crazy?”

“How could the data be so poor? ”

“The dog is blind! Host, is there a dark screen? ”

On the big screen, everyone's eyes are drawn to Flappybird's data, and it says: 349 hours total game time, 544 recommended!

And the second place game, Hunter Island, is only 92 hours long, with 330 recommendations!

The host was also stunned, he himself just found out about the data, like the audience, his first reaction was the wrong data!

The three judges also face each other, and it is a little hard to believe this data.

What is the concept of this data, the total audience here is 700, and these people spend an average of half an hour in this game!

544 of 700 people are willing to share this game with others.

This data is a bit of an upside down!

Chen Qiao didn't have many accidents, and this data was basically what he expected.

In fact, Flappybird is not a very fascinating game; rather, it is self-inflicted. If this game hangs on the app market for players to play, most people may turn it off for five minutes.

But now that the audience is at the scene of the design contest, Flappybird's competitors are not mature game pieces, but making a messy entry-level game piece.

Other works, basically, don't appeal to the audience for too long, so most of the audience will still choose to come back and brush the score, and even individual, more committed audiences spend all their time brushing the flappybird.

In this way, it's perfectly normal for Flappybird to be able to brush up so much travel time.

The host pressed the whisper of the headset, and a moment later, he looked up and said to the audience in the room: "Gentlemen, I have just confirmed to the technicians in the background that the data is correct, and this is the final data of the 20 games. ”

There was still a riot on the field.

Many viewers still do not believe that Flappybird can achieve this, especially those who have no feelings for the game and turn it off immediately after playing it.

Nevertheless, that fact was accepted by the majority of the audience.

“Is this game really that good? Such a simple pixel breeze, such a simple way to play first? That's more than the second place! ”

“What's so strange about this? Think for yourself. How much time did you spend in this game? ”

“… has to be forty minutes. ”

“It took me almost an hour! I'm a little dizzy now that I'm brushing my share. ”

“Yeah, as soon as I closed my eyes I saw that stupid bird jumping and bouncing, I couldn't help but think about it...”

“You see, there are almost 600 people on this leaderboard, the top 200 scores have passed 20, and there are a lot of 45 points. How long do you think it takes to get 20 points? ”

“It's going to take 20 minutes anyway... if you don't feel well, you don't have to succeed for an hour. ”

“So, this is the real data. ”

“It's... it's a game against the sky...” The unbelieving audience also began to question the letter at this time.

Moderator softly coughed twice: “Okay, now that the technicians have confirmed that the results are real and effective, our first is the work of designer 7," Flappybird "! ”

“Next up is the judges' review session, after which the audience will have the next round of recommendations. ”

The host paused and continued: "There is one thing to remind you that Flappybird is currently second in both game length and recommendation data, according to the rules, each recommendation of the player equals a 30-minute game length, that is, only the second game Hunter Island exceeds the 128 recommendations of Flappybird will it be possible to compete for first place. ”

“Next, please leave a review to the three judges. ”

As soon as the moderator raised his hand, he suggested that the three judges could begin their statements.

The three judges looked at each other and Qiu Hengyang said to Swartze: "Better speak first. ”

All three of them are B designers and do not serve in the same company. There is no rank. Swartze is the oldest, so Linhai and Qiu Hengyang both showed respect to him and asked him to speak first.

Swartze looked iron and blue and moved the microphone on the table to her mouth, clearing her voice low.

“Can this be a game?! I'm the first to disagree! If this is a game, isn't it something that cats and dogs can develop?! ”

“Can a street seller be a singer?! ”

“Can a wall graffiti be a painter?! ”

“How many more comebacks to write prose, even a modern poet?! ”

“Bullshit! ”

Swartzer was obviously very angry and knocked his finger hard on the table.

“First of all, this game doesn't have any drama, single play, rough images, terrible hands! So I said that as a game, it fails at the level of production! ”

“Secondly, the game completely drilled an empty space, stimulating the player to climb, stimulating the player's luck, forcing the game to lengthen! ”

“So the data that you see, the game duration, the recommendation, it's all false! Why, because it's a crooked path! ”

“With this in mind, my attitude is clear and I strongly disagree that this game is the number one! ”

Swartzer finished, pushed the microphone aside, and gasped.

“Good, Mr. Stewart. ”

I don't know who shouted, and the audience laughed.

This good voice comes from the contestants, most of whom are the authors of Hunter Island.

Chen Jiao gently unwrapped the mineral water on the table for a sip, and Swartze's reaction was also unexpected.

Obviously Swartzer is very averse to this kind of game because he is handicapped and doesn't have the pleasure of brushing.

And Chan's super focuser forced Swartze to be abused in the game for 10 minutes, and he held his stomach to fire.

The moderator obviously didn't expect Swartzer to have such a big fire, so he quickly drew the topic away: "Okay, Mr. Swartzer has just put forward his own point of view. Next, Mr. Linhai. ”

Lin Hai looked at Swartze with some difficulty and watched the game "flappybird" again, hesitating to turn on the microphone for a moment.

“This game… I agree with Mr. Swartzer a little bit, it's not very rich in its own way, it's not very high quality, it doesn't really deserve the first place in this competition in terms of quality. ”

Lin Hayton turned his head: “But… I think since it can achieve what it is now, both the length of the game and the number of recommendations are good data, which means that the player recognizes it. So I remain reserved and leave the final decision to the audience. ”
