Restart the Gaming Era

According to the guidelines, there were some college student volunteers who came to the No. 3 Activity Center of Guanghua Art Institute to guide them. They took Zhong Ming and Zhou Sen to sit in their seats.

The venue is not good, but it is okay. After all, there is no audience or live broadcast. Strictly speaking, this is a large interview, and there is no need for a good venue.

Zhong Ming unscrewed the bottled water prepared by the organizer and took two sips, and looked at the famous brands on the judging table.

The judges haven't arrived yet, but the brand must have been placed. Zhong Ming opened the bracelet and searched it a bit.

"Senior Interactive Entertainment's senior game producer."

"Professor at the Art Department of Guanghua Art Institute."

"Member of the Calligraphy Association."

"Senior art director."

...

There are a total of six judges, and each one is not small.

Of course, this is not the highest level of judging for this competition. After all, this is only the first stage of the inquiry link. No need to show up at this stage.

Of course, senior game producers, professors of the art department, and members of the calligraphy association are also quite important.

Zhong Ming looked at the other contestants. Like him, these people only submitted design concepts and did not submit game demos.

There are a lot of very young faces in it, even a college student at first glance, probably the campus group that participated.

This competition is divided into two groups, namely the campus group and the professional group. The campus group has a lot of bonuses, and the first place is only 400,000. After all, college students in the school make independent games by themselves. No way.

However, for many college students who want to enter the game industry, if they can win prizes in this competition, they can add a very glorious sum to their resumes.

Zhong Ming remembered that there was a similar competition last year, but at that time he hadn't crossed, so naturally he didn't participate.

Soon, the inquiry began.

Because there is no audience, the process is more casual, which is to go to the stage to explain your game one by one according to the contest number, and then accept the questioning of the judges. After the questioning, the judges decide whether this game can enter the next stage.

This time the judging did not separate the professional group from the campus group, but generally introduced themselves when speaking on stage. If it is a contestant from the campus group, the judges will automatically lower the standard.

Soon, the contestants came on stage.

When stepping down, some were ecstatic, some were downcast, some were calm ...

As for the reasons for elimination, there are a variety of reasons.

Some are because the design concept draft has been picked out for many details errors. The reviewers believe that the person who wrote the design draft may not be enough to design all aspects of the game.

Some of them were not answered because they were asked some technical questions.

Others may be because the gameplay is too old-fashioned, the level of art is too terrible, and so on.

In short, most of the people who were questioned were works that were not good at all, and they took part in the competition with a focus on participation, so it was taken for granted.

It was okay at first, but after more than half an hour, it was obvious that two or three judges were very impatient.

In particular, the member of the Calligraphy Association, a lecturer at Guanghua Art College, an uncle in his forties named Jin Xi, has yawned several times.

There is no way around it, in fact, he came here, a bit of meaning.

After all, this game is called the Game Art Concept Contest, and the key word is "art".

However, calligraphy is not very useful in games, which is also true.

Jin Xi is also a game enthusiast. Otherwise, he will not come to this competition for judging, but the key is that it is now the primary selection, and it is still the poorer batch in the primary selection. The designed games are either pragmatic or The painting style is sparse, and it really makes people feel uncomfortable.

Another set of reviews was completed with a ten minute break.

The judges were also very tired, untwisting the bottled water and taking a sip, and chatting.

Du Mingxian, a professor at the Art Department of the Guanghua Academy of Art, looked at the sleepy Jin Xi, and joked: "Lao Jin, you are in a bad state of mind today. Take your energy to scold students during class?"

Jin Xi sipped: "Hey, I can't get it out. These entries are really not qualified for me to scold, it's boring."

Du Mingxian laughed: "I see, you want to scold, but you don't know how to scold. After all, these works have little to do with your profession. If there is a game related to calligraphy, then you will definitely be able to be spiritual."

"Don't, it's better not to, but don't practice calligraphy badly." Jin Xi waved his hand. "Calligraphy, how do you play games? It is a relatively niche category in itself."

Du Mingxian said: "Calligraphy is not a niche."

"Hey, it's the niche now. Technology has developed and eastern and western cultures have merged. You see how many people are still writing with pens."

The two chatted casually, and the inquiry continued.

Those contestants who have been questioned have either been brushed or passed. In short, all of them have retired, and there are only a few who need to be determined to stay on the scene and wait for the final result, so there are more people sitting in the audience. Less.

Zhong Ming and Zhou Sen waited a long time, but they couldn't help it. Who made Zhong Ming sign up late? Numbers come back.

Finally, it was Zhongming's turn.

A few judges didn't pay much attention, after all, the whole question was approaching the final stage, and there were not many people in the audience. After asking so much, most of the judges were dry.

Zhong Ming was very calm, his design concept draft was put on the projection screen next to him, and Zhong Ming began to explain.

"My entry is called" Ink and Smoke "."

Jin Xi said for a moment: "Ink cloud and smoke? This name sounds quite ancient."

Zhong Ming nodded: "Yes, from a poem titled" Tixiu Yetang "in the Song Dynasty. The original sentence was that the fish and birds are in the blue sky, and the clouds are filled with ink."

Jin Xi's spirit was instantly refreshed, and she became interested: "Then what do you mean, the style of this game is probably the traditional Chinese ink style?"

"Yes, it's the traditional ink style, but it also adds some modern game original painting techniques, which is more suitable for the game on the premise of retaining the charm of ink style." Zhong Ming paused and continued, "Besides, this In this game, there are not only ink paintings, but also calligraphy elements ~ www.readwn.com ~ Jin Xi is a bit surprised, but not as surprised as before.

Isn't it that he doesn't like calligraphy? He belongs to the calligraphy association. Can he not like calligraphy?

He was afraid that Zhong Ming was forcibly adding calligraphy to it, but he might destroy a game that was already good!

Of course, the design concept draft has not been finished yet, it is too early to interrupt.

Jin Xi raised his hand: "OK, you continue to say."

Du Mingxian next silently squeezed sweat for Zhong Ming.

You say that what you do is not good, you have to add calligraphy elements to the game!

Lao Jin was originally a picky person. If you make a mistake in another place, it ’s okay to say that Lao Jin is not too careless, but if you have any flaws in calligraphy, Lao Jin will definitely not show mercy ... ...

Maybe it will make Lao Jin feel that you are trying to win the favor and show off, which is counterproductive.
