Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

In the Magic City Game Department.

Different from the previous life, each entertainment industry in the parallel world is not determined by a head office.

Instead, it is subdivided into various departments.

The game department is naturally responsible for the game content.

Domestic agents act as agents for overseas games and review domestic games.

There are also games that have passed the domestic review but are to be exported overseas. These are reviewed by the game department.

If you also review this section, it is different from the one-shot cut in the previous life. The parallel world has a detailed grading system.

Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that some technologies in the parallel world are more powerful. At least the online real-name system in games can be said to be fully planned.

Don't think about Naiko if you are a minor, you will definitely not be able to find it.

It is precisely because of this element that the audit regulations are more relaxed than those in the previous life.

Of course, if you have to engage in color, it is still not enough.

Just like the first game "Magic Mirror" developed by Chen Xu, it can only be exported for domestic sales.

It is a gray business, not supported but not directly destroyed.

In addition, the game department is open to the outside world with a self-developed game engine.

Almost like the Unreal Engine of the previous life.

It's just that one is commercial and the other is state-owned.

And the technology is not at one level either.

At this time, the relevant leaders and judges in charge of this sci-fi expedition competition in the game department of the Magic City were in a meeting to discuss the corresponding situation.

Different from ordinary players, these reviewers basically have to play every game, so they are basically based on some summaries given by the reviewers below, as well as some content judgments of the game themselves, to score.

After all, it is really unrealistic to face so many games in such a short period of time.

At the same time, considering the games that were selected in previous years, the opinions of the players are relatively large.

After all, the significance of the game department's expedition is to better guide the domestic game market environment.

The game market is determined by the players.

They have officially selected the corresponding game, but players don't like it. How can this guide the market?

"Let's start by voting for the highest first prize. Let's explain your opinions one by one." The leader of the judges sitting in the first place spoke.

"The Heroes of the Galaxy developed by designer Meng Zuo of NetDragon Games has some flaws in the plot performance and numerical values, but the rhythm of the level design is very good." Everyone began to speak in turn, and the first judge said.

"Nebula Games, "To the Moon" developed by designer Chen Xu, although there is nothing worth mentioning in terms of gameplay, but the entire game is in a flashback mode, and it can be said that the rhythm is perfectly controlled."

"Also agree, although Chen Xu's game is different from the previous "Under the Legend", it does not show such an amazing setting system, but the pure story is enough to be called shocking."

"Heroes of the Galaxy is really good, but To the Moon is also very good, but from a personal point of view, I think compared to most ordinary game designers, there should be no resources to make something like "Heroes of the Galaxy" It’s a game-like game, and To the Moon is different, so from this point of view, I think I am more inclined to choose To the Moon.”

"Although I'm sure this game is excellent, can "To the Moon" be called a sci-fi game? Because of its essence, this game seems to be about love, right?"

"Strictly speaking, "To the Moon" is naturally not a science fiction, but if you really want to use this standard, more than 40% of the entries in this competition are not science fiction."

"Doubtful, I'm still more optimistic about Heroes of the Galaxy."

………………

As the game review leader of this event, because of the game selection, he entered into a fierce debate.

Also on the Internet, countless players have already participated in the game experience and trial play.

In the previous heat promotion, many of the games participating in this competition were promoted.

But the most eye-catching one is Chen Xu.

After all, the popularity of "Under the Legend" was not completely over before, and then Zhong Media, who pretended to be dead, jumped out and was killed by Chen Xu.

So in terms of heat, it can be said that Chen Xu has completely grasped it.

This also led to many players trying out "To the Moon" for the first time.

And in various forums and player groups, they are already full of their crazy Amway and discussions.

"I strongly encourage everyone to play Chen Xu's new work "To the Moon" this time. I was moved to tears!"

"What about my brother upstairs? I was moved to tears. Isn't this a game that Chen Xu made in ten days?"

"What about the game made in ten days? It's good enough to be awesome! And the plot is really touching. After playing it, you will understand what it means to cry."

"Grass, seeing your discussion, I'm about to burst into tears again!"

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"Don't you know if you play it yourself? This game makes me understand that my tears are so low!"

"So awesome? Damn it, I'm going to buy one to play with."

"Who do you decide to vote for? Anyway, I decided to vote for "To the Moon", no one can do it!"

"Same, I also decided to vote for "To the Moon"!"

"Although I am also very moved, I don't think "To the Moon" is a sci-fi game, right?"

"I don't care if it's a sci-fi game? I'm going to vote for it anyway!"

These players who played "To the Moon" for the first time voted for this game without hesitation.

As for saying that it can't be regarded as a sci-fi game in the strict sense?

But after experiencing the touching plot, not many players care at all.

After all, is it a sci-fi game, what do they care about?

If you think this game is great, if you think this game impresses them, then the voting is over.

As for eligibility, that is officially confirmed.

…………

Soon, the three-day sales of this batch of participating games have also come out.

Among them, "Going to the Moon" took the lead with 193,000 sales, followed by "Galaxy Hero" with 87,000 sales.

This number is already quite exaggerated.

However, there are two main reasons why sales are leading so much.

That is, "To the Moon" is a double-ended game, with both mobile and PC, and the player base is wider.

Secondly, the price of "To the Moon" is only 15 yuan.

And "Galaxy Hero" is 65 yuan.

Although the price of "To the Moon" is so low, it is also related to the process of the game.

After all, the entire game process, from start to finish, is actually just over four hours.

But lower prices still have a big impact on sales.
