Restart the Gaming Era

Zhong Ming is also very speechless, the key is that he really didn't pay attention to this game!

Because such competitions are generally not very popular, after all, they are participated by independent producers and studios, and they are even divided into student groups and professional groups. The level is not high enough. The attention in the industry is OK, but The attention on the Internet is basically not high.

And Zhong Ming has been busy with the game some time ago, and did not pay special attention to this information.

In short, the time available to him is very limited ...

Moreover, not only must the design concept draft be driven out, but also a trip to the scene.

It stands to reason that the first stage of this type of election requires submission of a demo, that is, a sample of the game.

The game may not be completed in time, but at least a simple demo can be submitted so that the reviewers can see the basic gameplay, fun, art style, etc. of the game, so as to roughly determine whether the finished product is reliable.

Otherwise, there is no demo, there is only a design concept draft, how can the judges be sure that you can successfully make this game?

The design concept draft is easy to write, but it is really hard to do.

This competition is equivalent to opening up the Internet. Participants who have submitted the design concept draft can temporarily not submit demos during the sea election phase. They need to go to the site to accept the questions of the judges and pass the questions to enter the next stage.

Zhong Ming immediately began to write a design concept draft, and then said to Jiang Wanna: "Well, book two tickets, and I will go to Guanghua with Zhou Sen."

This competition was held in Guanghua City, and the collaborator also has the famous Guanghua Art Institute.

Jiang Wanna was a bit surprised: "You really want to go, don't say demo, is the design draft too late?"

Zhong Ming said: "It's okay, I write now, it should be too late."

Zhou Sen also heard a conversation between the two people: "Ah? Why is there something about me here? Why go to Guanghua?"

Zhong Ming explained: "There is a game design competition, you have to go with me to be questioned by the judges. I am afraid that the judges will not be able to answer some technical questions."

Zhou Sen scratched his head: "Game design competition? What's so interesting about participating in this, let's keep making games and make money ..."

Zhong Ming: "There is a prize of 1.8 million for the first prize."

Zhou Sen: "I'll pack my luggage when I get home from work!"

"Tickets are booked." Jiang Wanna glanced at Zhong Ming, who was pounding on the keyboard, "You must be able to catch up ... forget to disturb you, please write quickly."

Zhong Ming instantly entered the tentacle state, and the keyboard was crackled.

This competition is a game art concept competition.

As you can see from this name, general commercial games are not easy to win.

Participating games must be highly artistic, and games that reflect the combination of art and games, and the future direction of the game, are more likely to win.

In other words, the success of a business may only be ranked third or lower. The key is artistic success.

Zhong Ming does not have a particularly suitable game at hand, but he can still create an original.

...

At night, Zhong Ming took out all the calligraphy fruits in the ring and ate them all.

After eating, Zhong Ming's first feeling was ... a little supportive.

As for the 11 fruits, if you eat them, they will occupy your belly. When it was first extracted, Zhong Ming ate a lot of fruits of music and literature.

After eating, Zhong Ming felt that all kinds of calligraphy information had flowed into his brain, not only various calligraphy knowledge, but also many calligraphy techniques and techniques.

"This should be almost the same, but I feel that the judges of tomorrow should not ask too deeply."

...

I've been busy for a long time, and finally sent the draft of the game design concept before the time expired, and then passed it smoothly.

However, whether it can pass the preliminary review depends on the opinions of the reviewers on the game after the on-site inquiry.

Zhong Ming and Zhou Sen were flying nonstop and flying from Ming'an to Guanghua.

Both of these cities are very large first-tier cities, and Guanghua may be slightly larger than Mingan. Xinghua Mutual Entertainment, which previously held the virtual idol contest, is in Guanghua City.

Moreover, Guanghua City also has the well-known Guanghua Art Institute, which is a first-class art university in the Chinese cultural circle and the world. The majors of fine arts, calligraphy and game design are all very famous.

After getting off the plane, Zhong Ming and Zhou Sen had a taxi in the air and rushed directly to the booked hotel.

In the hotel standard room, put their luggage down, Zhou Sen began to watch the design concept sent by Zhong Ming to himself on the bracelet.

Tomorrow's speaker is definitely Zhong Ming, but after all, design is one thing. Whether or not it can be done is another matter.

There are some professional procedures in the review, which may raise questions about the feasibility of some designs, so Zhong Ming still has to bring Zhou Sen with him, a little safer.

Zhou Sen read the design concept draft again: "It should be no big problem, the content of the game itself is not complicated. However, it is a bit bad. This game requires external specialized equipment to play. Is it a bit ... too harsh? ? "

Zhong Ming explained: "In fact, it is not necessary to connect an external device. If you are an ordinary player, just to see a bonus, then you can play with a keyboard and mouse or bracelet. The so-called external pressure-sensitive pen and hand-painted board settings are for Those big cattle are specially prepared. "

Zhou Sen nodded: "Okay, you can decide on design matters anyway. There should be no problem technically. You can't ask me if you ask."

The two were slightly on the right side and felt that there was no major problem.

Just wait for tomorrow's review and inquiry.

...

The next morning.

Zhong Ming and Zhou Sen were both dressed like dogs ... oh no, they went to Guanghua Art College.

This is the inquiry link of the preliminary review of the competition. It is certainly impossible for all the judges to be present, and it is not necessary, because there are not many participants who only submit the design concept draft without submitting a demo at the preliminary selection stage.

There may be two or three hundred entries in the preliminary stage of the competition, and more than half of them are submitted by demo.

So ~ www.readwn.com ~ This inquiry just borrowed an activity center of Guanghua Art Institute, and there were no audiences. There were only a few judges who happened to be present in Guanghua City to make a simple selection of the preliminary entries. Question.

As for the specific question.

First, I asked some design details that were not clearly stated in the draft design concept draft. After all, it ’s just a concept draft. It ’s not a very detailed design document. There are a lot of things that have n’t been written clearly, but these details often affect the overall performance of the game. Therefore, the judges can ask where they do n’t understand.

Second, inquire about some technical issues, and make sure that the participants can successfully develop this game if the design details are OK.

Those who submitted the demo have basically proved that their technical level will not be too bad, and the group who did not submit the demo has only one design draft. It is really hard to say whether they can make it.

In addition to this, there are some miscellaneous questions. For example, if this is a game with an art specialty, can your project's art level be achieved? Is there a concept map? If not, then at least you have to show the qualifications of the master art of your project, and convince the judges that you have this strength to complete.
