Let you make games, you directly shoot blockbusters?

Chapter 95 Hand over control to the player (seeking the first order)

Independent Games Festival.

It went on for a week before it came to a successful conclusion.

As the event came to an end, those games that received good responses gradually emerged and appeared in the players' field of vision.

Among the more than a dozen most popular games, more than half are works made by independent gamers, and have been widely praised by players.

of course.

"Humanity Falls Flat" produced by Honghuang is also on the list.

Stand out from the crowd of studio works.

But the old employees responsible for making this game are very happy.

Early in the morning.

Under the auspices of Lao Song, they gathered in the conference room to make the final decision.

"What to do, I'm a little nervous."

"I don't know who made the most popular levels."

"I'm also nervous, but let's say it first, fair competition, don't be anxious for anyone who is not selected."

"It's necessary, the skills are not as good as others, and it's a big deal to go back and practice."

"Our team is probably suspended, whoever of you is selected remember to treat you."

"Yes!"

While the employees were discussing nervously, the door of the conference room opened, and Chen Lin, Lao Song and Lao Li walked in from the outside.

Seeing the documents they held in their hands, everyone froze and fell silent instantly.

"Okay, this time the team leader selection, I invited Mr. Chen to come over to be a witness, and everyone sat down."

Lao Song coughed twice, came to the stage and started the meeting directly.

And on the big screen behind him, the game data just calculated also lit up.

can be seen.

In this week alone, the number of players who have played "Humanity Falls Flat" has reached more than 50.

Although it was because of the free trial, it still exceeded their initial expectations.

Among them, the level with the highest play rate has reached an exaggerated level of 71%. It was developed by one of the oldest teams who are very familiar with the game market.

Seeing that the first level was designed by his own team, the veteran employee was immediately excited, and the others also cast envious glances.

As expected.

After Lao Song read aloud, the veteran employee became the leader of the first team and stood up amidst congratulations.

Then, the leaders of the second, third and fourth groups were also determined one after another.

All are selected according to the overall performance of the game results and daily performance.

"Okay, let's stop here for today's meeting first, and then I will arrange work with you alone."

"Don't be discouraged for those who are not selected. When the studio develops in the future, there will be plenty of opportunities for you."

Hearing Lao Song's words, the flames were rekindled in the eyes of those disappointed employees who were not selected.

Yes, this is just the beginning.

With the development of the studio in the future, there will only be more and more positions, and some opportunities are waiting for them!

"Then Mr. Chen, let's go back first."

After saying something to Chen Lin, everyone left the meeting room one after another, and started to go back to do the work of establishing the group in advance.

After they all left, Lao Song turned his head to look at Chen Lin, his face became solemn.

"problem occurs?"

Chen Lin knew him best, so he couldn't help asking.

Lao Li on the side looked over curiously.

"Well, a little trouble." Lao Song nodded, "I followed what you said, I contacted those indie game authors with good achievements as soon as the event was over, and invited them to join Honghuang, but they were all preempted by other manufacturers."

"Are you moving so fast?"

Chen Lin crossed his hands to support his chin, his face pondering.

In addition to screening the team leader, the purpose of letting employees participate in the Independent Game Festival this time is to show their strength in front of those independent game authors so as to better recruit them.

After all, they have just started in the prehistoric world, and what they lack the most is production talents, and it takes a long time to train newcomers.

And this independent game event.

It is also the stage for those independent authors to show themselves, hoping to get offers from major domestic manufacturers.

"It seems that other manufacturers have the same idea as us. Is it because they pay more than us?"

"That's not true." Lao Song shook his head.

"What is that? The treatment we opened is not lower than those of those big factories." Lao Li was puzzled.

Lao Song glanced at him and said, "It's the size."

"What those independent authors value more is the size of a company. I have talked to several times before, and I feel that the scale of our studio is too small. I will consider what I say. As a result, I switched to other big factories the next day."

"It's fine if we don't dislike them, but they still dislike us for being small??" Lao Li couldn't sit still now, and his temper immediately came up.

indeed.

Although Honghuang didn't say they were ranked first in China, they had released several popular games anyway, which were not comparable to ordinary studios and small factories.

It's all disgusting, it's really off the charts.

"It can't be helped. After all, when the salary is not much different, most people still prefer the well-known big factories." Lao Song said helplessly.

"And this is not the most important thing. The reason why those independent authors choose big factories is because of this reason."

As he spoke, he picked up the tablet, opened the page and handed it over.

Chen Lin and Lao Li looked at the computer and found that it was the game evaluation of this independent game festival.

[Professional evaluation (average): This game is really good, it is a fun choice worth playing with friends, but it has a huge flaw, too few levels!It's easy to get bored with repetitive content. 】

[Watermelon Evaluation (General): It can be seen that the object collision and design have been thoughtful, but there are indeed too many bugs. It doesn’t look like a game made by a well-known studio. Outsourcing? 】

[Old man Wu's evaluation (bad): Jumping blocks, climbing walls, moving things, and coming and going are all about this, and graduates can do better than this! 】

"Why are these guys spraying dung all over their mouths!"

Old Li glared angrily. Although he was not in charge of this game, except for the unconventional style of painting, he did his best in other aspects.

And anyone with a discerning eye can see that the popularity of this game at the Independent Games Festival can be achieved by a bad game?
These people are simply talking nonsense!

"Okay, it's just a business competition. It's not like you haven't seen it before."

Chen Lin's expression remained unchanged, and he could tell the nature of these comments at a glance.

Regardless of whether it is slander by peers or real comments, the result is the same.

That is the initial impression of ordinary players on this game.

When men and women fall in love, they say that first impressions are very important.

And let alone a point-and-play game?

What they have to do now is to erase the impact of these negative comments.

"Then what should we do? These comments are officially released by the event, and we have no right to delete them." Old Song asked.

"It's very simple." Chen Lin smiled slightly.

"Didn't they say that our game has little content and low playability? Then we will directly hand over the control to the players and let them make this game by themselves!"
