Almighty Game Designer

The Imperial Dynasty reciprocated several good quality games this year, but overall did not qualify for the annual game.

Originally, people in the industry generally liked Sungtang. After all, "Three Realms" is an MMORPG. For profit, player retention and other data must sacrifice some gameplay. It naturally brings its own deductible attributes to the selection.

Shengtang is a single-machine game with a very intense Huaxia color, and all other aspects are fairly average. There are no obvious short boards except for the relatively poor content of the game.

However, the award for "Game of the Year” soon became disenchanted after the advent of Watch Pioneer.

Many designers realize that Watchpioneer is fully qualified to compete for this award!

While it's a competitive game, and the main fun comes from the player's rivalry, it's also very distinctive, with two things that are most likely to impress the judges.

The first is the construction of a world view and the enrichment of heroes. Heroes of the future, coexistence of man and machine, superpowers of all kinds… The whole background is very artistic and will certainly be very pleasing.

The second is innovation in gameplay. Although “skilled FPS” has appeared before, there is no complete system in place, and designers are more afraid that this pattern will affect the core fun of FPS games and the balance of games, so it is all done with caution, not as big an axe as "Watch Pioneer".

From current player feedback, it's important that WatchPioneer strikes a good balance between traditional FPS and MOBA play.

Ideas are worthless. It's only worth it if you really turn them into pieces.

There are plenty of details in the process of turning ideas into works, and any problems with any of these details can make the final product and previous expectations look like the north and south.

So, Watchpioneer is able to do the concept of "skilled FPS," which is already a remarkable thing in itself.

In addition, the main problem faced by Pioneer of the Watch in awarding awards is that they are not sufficiently rich. Simply put, there's no drama in the game, there's not many scenes, and there's not even that kind of open-world game content.

However, these three points are not lethal, as other elements of the Watch Pioneer can be remedied accordingly.

There are no plots, but there are background stories, and there are lots of colored eggs on the map, and all heroic background stories merge together. Storytellingly, The Pioneer of Watch is just not told to the players in the traditional way, and the storytelling is actually not weak.

Not many scenes, but different features. The architectural style of each of the King's Boulevard, Flower Village, River Tower, Hollywood and other scenarios in The Pioneer of Watch is completely different, and innovations have been made that combine the cultural characteristics of each country with a sense of technology. This scenario design is itself an addition.

Without open world game content, game content is not rich enough, which cannot be solved. But Watchpioneer, as a free VR game, has also innovated mainstream FPS play, and the players are very responsive. Is this going to be some kind of bonus? No one can say.

While many designers still feel that Sungtang is the best game for the award, they also have to admit that Vanguard is very competitive.

All of this will only be revealed once the final award ceremony is over!

……

Big designer chat group, a lot of designers are chatting.

“I'm already in the room. Is everybody here? ”

“The street is still at home, envy the big man who can go to the annual awards ceremony...”

“Envy...”

“Qiu, are you there? And where's the dog owner? ”

“Let's meet in the lobby! ”

“Hey, I see Big Chan! ”

This chat group is all independent game designers, several of whom are frequent visitors to the annual game award ceremony, such as Li Feng, who produced "Wings of the Spirit", Zhou Haibin of "Fantasy Journey", Zhu Fanglin of "Deathstroke", etc.

These people usually chat and fart in the crowd, and it is difficult to get together in the north of the Tianan Sea. Of course, get together and get in touch with each other on this critical occasion.

After all, the small circles of these independent game designers are relatively closed. The relationship with the designers of the Emperor Dynasty who entertain each other and Zen entertain each other is not very close, and there is basically no competitive relationship, so the relationship is very good.

Of course, there are a lot of designers in the group who are not qualified to come to this award ceremony, so they can only be envious.

Chen Jiao just walked into the hall and heard someone shouting at him.

“Big brother Chen! Here!”

At a glance, Li Feng, the designer of "Wings of the Stars", has been very active in the group.

Four or five people have gathered around Li Feng, and all greeted Chen Qiao.

Everyone in the room knew Chen Jiao. After all, he often chatted in the group before, and he was also a more famous person among independent designers. Chen Jiao had also looked at the photographs and materials.

Soon, Qiu Hengyang and Qun Zhang Xiaokong also came.

These are the old acquaintances in the group, but in reality it's been a long time, so they're all quite excited.

Zhang Xiaokong said: "All right, let's get out of the way here, let's go inside. Anyway, should we go to a lecture or a meeting? ”

Li Feng asked: "Whatever. Look at you. By the way, Mr. Chan, do you have a lecture this year? ”

Chen Qiao was a little helpless: “Don't be an old man, this is too embarrassing. ”

Li Feng smiled. “Hey, isn't that a habit? ”

“There are no lectures, probably because some of the games I've played this year are a little controversial," said Chen Qiao. "I'm afraid something will happen with the board. ”

Qiu Hengyang expressed his understanding: “Indeed, look at your" digging for elevation "and" escape ", two abusive games, especially" escape ", it is probably very controversial within the board, Minister Qiaohua did not criticize you? ”

Chen smiled. “What are you criticizing me for? If Minister Joe and Commissioner Chang hadn't nodded, would I have passed the trial for this horror game? ”

Qiu Hengyang smiled: “That's true. ”

Zhang Xiaokong said: “Hey? Isn't it? Why didn't you tell me about Chen's two big pieces this year? ”

Qiu Hengyang said: "You say" League of Heroes "and" Pioneer of Watch "? The Watchtower was just a few days old and couldn't be arranged; as for the League of Heroes, it was a success, but after all, it was a PC, not to be seen, and the E-competition thing, the attitude of the JC was ambiguous, but it should be controversial in the end, not very supportive. ”

Li Feng nodded: “Yeah, E-competition was previously classified as a gray industry, clubs and studios were confused, and the JC was discouraged from promoting it, but it was not expressly banned. Should still be watching. ”

Chen smiled and laughed: “It's a good thing you don't have to say it yourself. I'm still too lazy to say it. ”

Zhang Xiaokong looked at the morning lecture: “I don't think there's anything I really want to hear. By the way, do you guys want to go to a meeting or something? ”
