Chapter 168: ChinaJoy Opening

After carefully reading all the student information reported under his disciples, Zheng Lu picked out some students who were good at the category or the type of game he liked that was not his strength, and handed them over to other teachers to teach. For example, if he is good at writing programs, he will be handed over to Xu Zhili, who is the most tolerant of loneliness. If you like music games, I recommend it to Flatbread. Of course, the reasons were explained to Lu Xiaocheng one by one.

At the end of the distribution, Zheng Lu filled the gap of several teachers, and the rest such as Lin Biyu and Shang Fei had a slight surplus, so they also made some adjustments, and now everyone was happy.

"Oh, the four madmen are ready to go it alone?"

Zheng Lu then flipped through the information and found that none of the four madmen were named among all the teachers and students, thinking that they were going to start their own projects. These little guys are indeed crazy enough, and they dare to stand on their own after only one year of study.

"Oh, they're not going it alone, they're four people united, ready to start a new game."

The four madmen had told Lu Xiaocheng about this idea, so she knew the movements of these people. After this half-year internship, they also understood that their strength was not yet at home, and it was very disadvantageous to work alone, so the four of them joined together, and now their strength has increased greatly.

"Hehe, I don't know what kind of plan they will come up with when the next semester starts. We teachers have to work hard, we can't be compared to students in the first year! ”

After the meeting was completed, Zheng Lu saw that it was not early, so he invited everyone to dinner here, and then broke up.

……………………………………… The Chinajoy conference has finally begun, and Zheng Lu, as a game producer, is preparing to participate in the China Game Developers Conference, and will also arrange some interviews with game magazines. As for the exhibition, Han Luoqi, the president of the teachers' association, led the idol group and cosplay team to perform for the area where Hantaku University is located.

In previous years, Chinajoy was basically based on online games, and stand-alone games only appeared as an additive, and the identity was not embarrassing. But this year is different, the stand-alone game group dominated by Hantaku University seems to have surpassed the momentum of online games, and basically every booth has a stand-alone game.

"Among this year's awards, there should be a place for single-player games, right?"

The members of the Chinajoy organizing committee are discussing, and they also have some expectations for the rise of single-player games in recent years. In particular, major online game manufacturers have also entered this area.

Game development is a money-burning thing, not to mention advertising investment, script, animation design, action, sound capture, modeling, programming, editing, molding, testing, packaging design and printing, pressing, contacting sellers, etc., are all huge expenses. Only these large companies with sufficient capital can develop sophisticated large-scale games.

"In the China Outstanding Game Producer Selection Competition, stand-alone games should have good results. It's just that this Golden Feather Award doesn't seem to have a single-player game award setting, right? There is one mobile game, but most of the exhibitors are computer games, do you want to set up a separate award? ”

"In addition, there are the ebox game consoles of the linkage company and the jade pupil of Hantaku University, if only the computer game award is set, then how can the games of their two platforms be counted?"

"Then open a single-player game category, no matter what game platform can join. The Game of the Year contest is held in November, so it's time to do it. ”

After the discussion, this year's ChinaJoy Conference added another award setting for stand-alone games, which can be regarded as a sign of the rise of the stand-alone game industry.

Zhou Yixuan, as a representative of Hanzhai University, participated in the China Game Business Conference. But the biggest headache for him is that the chinajoy organizing committee invited him to participate in a symposium with the main developer of the jade pupil jian's handheld, that is, the half-house immortal, and the main developer of ebox and the president of the company of the linkage company on the same stage. It is estimated that the success of ebox has added this symposium to this summit.

But where did Zhou Yixuan go to find a half-house immortal? In desperation, I had to find Tian Xiaofeng. In addition to the half-house immortal, he is also the main developer of the jade pupil Jane, and there is also the host development of the half-house university, and it is estimated that he will be asked to be a stand-in for the half-house immortal in the future.

"Well, I really want to go to the exhibition to watch the cosplay show, this game developer conference must be a boring conference. By the way, let's go away! ”

In a hotel in Shanghai, Zhou Yixuan booked rooms for everyone. Because there are too many people, I booked a double room with an extra bed. Zheng Lu felt that tomorrow's conference was too boring, and this developer conference was actually three days, and if he really wanted to listen to it one by one, he probably wouldn't have the opportunity to go to the exhibition to see the excitement.

"That's not good, if we are caught by Mr. Zhou, then we will be unlucky."

Before Caitou could reply, Cheng Xiaodong next to him picked up. He was a man who always followed the rules, so he was a little hesitant. However, the lion housekeeper didn't care so much, and immediately signed up for the slip operation. Chinajoy is only three days old, and instead of spending time in this boring meeting, it is better to walk around and take pictures.

"Then it's decided, don't call anyone else, the target is too big and it's easy to be exposed. Tomorrow we won't be in a team, let's play our own games. When the time comes, find a place to gather and unify the caliber. ”

After Zheng Lu finished speaking, he took out his backpack, which contained a full set of camera equipment, and it seemed that this guy had already prepared everything and was waiting to slip away. Except for the day of the interview, there is no way to get out, and the rest of the time is a paradise of freedom. Originally, Zheng Lu also planned to invite Fang Xin to visit the exhibition together, but she went back to her hometown with her mother two days ago, so she couldn't come together.

The next day, Zheng Lu and the others saw that Zhou Yixuan had gone to another exhibition area for a meeting, so they acted according to the plan. Report to the respective conference halls, and then use all kinds of escape methods to sneak out and run to other places to escape. Now the venue is not open, only the staff are walking around, which is more convenient for Zheng Lu to capture. Chinajoy's beauties have always been a landscape, and most of Zheng Lu's film is wasted on them. In addition, various commercial performances are also places where Zheng Lu intends to linger.

"Okay, don't shoot with little glasses anymore, it's important to do business!"

In Zheng Lu's backpack, there is also a PSP, through which the glasses girl and the fox Xiaoxuan are looking at the conference scene outside. Seeing that Zheng Lu was lingering among the beauties of the major booths, the glasses girl reminded her loudly. The reason why Zheng Lu slipped away this time, in addition to not liking to meetings, there is another important reason. That is, Zheng Lu plans to give a special performance to the exhibition area of Hanzhai University, so as to better promote the Jade Pupil Jian handheld.

"Alright, take a few more shots and go!"

Zheng Lu reluctantly took a few more photos, and then came to the exhibition area of Hanzhai University. Han Luoqi looked at Zheng Lu strangely, he should be holding a meeting in another venue at this time, why did he come here? Zheng Lu had to tell her a little, and lied that he was here to help Han Luoqi. Fortunately, Han Luoqi is now short of manpower, so he doesn't mind Zheng Lu's sneaking.

Zheng Lu was arranged to look at the computer to the side, adjust the live music and the broadcast of the advertising video, which was exactly what Zheng Lu wanted.

"Glasses girl, speed connect to this computer!"

The glasses girl connected in response, Zheng Lu clicked OK, and then the lights in the exhibition area flashed a few times, but then returned to normal. Others are just minor problems, so I don't care too much. In fact, when the booth was built, Zheng Lu asked Zhou Yixuan to stuff all the equipment he needed into the booth in the name of the half-house immortal, and now it was the time to play an effective role.

Soon the opening time of the venue arrived, and the flow of people waiting outside came in, and the whole hall instantly became lively. Stage performances, new work displays, trial games and other activities in various exhibition areas have also been opened. Zheng Lu was also itching to see it, and the network had been connected, so he sneaked out.

The big screen in the exhibition area of Hanzhai University is playing the game video of "Jianghu Game Dream", and the trial area is the display of Yutong Jian's handheld. The game cassette used by Hantaku University's Jade Hitomi Jian handheld is a card half the size of a playing card, which opens the passage cabin from the side and inserts it to start the game, similar to the memory card of PSP.

There are about 20 jade pupils prepared on the scene for players to try, and the time for each player to try out is ten minutes, although it is a little short, but this is also a helpless thing. Because the museum has only been open for a short time, there is a long queue in front of the trial area, and it is too late if you don't shorten the time. If you feel that the trial time is too short, you can also go to some other deserted exhibition areas, where the trial time is longer.

Because the stage performance was scheduled in the afternoon, all these students were pulled out to act as companions. They are now wearing character costumes, so it can also help attract players. The games on Jade Pupil Jane are all action shooters and side-scrolling games, so a ten-minute trial is enough. And there is only one that can really be regarded as a masterpiece, called "Five Rats in Tokyo".

This is a game developed to reflect the function of the Jade Pupil Jane's handheld, so Zheng Lu asked the glasses girl to raise the quality of this game to the highest level that the Jade Pupil Jian can play, and the end is extremely gorgeous. The opening CG alone is enough to compare "Jianghu Heroes' Dream", and when the picture is displayed on the big screen, players are even more amazed. Fortunately, this game is not an RPG, so it doesn't crash.

"The half-house immortal is strong, and his disciples are slightly lacking in comparison, although they are also very good."

Some players exclaimed as they watched the two titles on the big screen in turn while waiting for the demo. It's normal for a disciple to lose to a master, so everyone didn't look down on Banzhai University.

"I want to try this "Five Rats in Tokyo"!"

One of the players who had their turn made a request to the companion next to him, who helped him get a new card. "Five Rats in Tokyo" is based on the five rats in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", and it is a stealth game. There are three modes in the game, which are story mode, free mode, and competitive mode.

In the story mode, players will choose a fixed character under the instructions of Bao Zheng and infiltrate the target's home to steal all kinds of evidence needed to solve the case, so as to promote the development of the plot. The last level is the Chongxiao Tower of the King of Xiangyang, whether it can change the fate of the brocade mouse Bai Yutang who died in the copper net array, it depends on the player's own skills.

In the free mode, players can choose the character they want to control, choose the big family they want to attack in Tokyo City, and steal everything they want. Among them, the most difficult is the Imperial City, this level is not only a large map, but also quite heavily guarded, the most tricky of which is to fight against Zhanzhao, who is known as the 'Royal Cat'.

Finally, the competitive mode is to play with other players, set a goal and make their own shots, and whoever gets the goal first is considered a winner. In the monthly newspaper, all the actions of the player will be recorded, and the evaluation on it will also affect the player's title, and how to reproduce the sensational scene of 'Five Rats in Tokyo' will be a major problem.

In addition, in most of the levels in the story mode, Bao Zheng's requirements are to absolutely avoid identity leakage, unable to use force, and can only rely on skills to win. In Free Mode, there is no such restriction, and players can go on the road with full gear or sneak in. Some of the victories won by the player were the usual gold and silver goods, some were handy items, and some were weapons and equipment.

Players who chose to try the game were obviously attracted by the beautiful graphics on the big screen, but they didn't take into account the time it would take. The initial levels of this game, even for those who are fully familiar with the map, will take at least five minutes to complete. It's really unlikely that someone who has never been exposed to this game will want to beat it in the ten-minute trial time, unless they are super game masters.

It was clear that this player was not a master, and soon with one of his careless actions, he was discovered by infiltrating it. And he played the story mode, the level that Bao Zheng ordered not to be discovered, as soon as he found it, it was a mission failure.

"Mother, do you want to start again? It's going to take two minutes to watch the cutscenes! ”

Later, as soon as he started playing, the accompanying staff next to him told him with a smile that the time was up, and he had to put down the jade pupil in frustration. However, this guy has enough perseverance, and soon returned to the end of the line to line up, and it seems that he intends to challenge again.

"What about Zheng Lu, where did this kid go?"

Han Luoqi saw that manpower was tight, and when he wanted to ask Zheng Lu for help, he found that he didn't know where he had disappeared. Han Luoqi was angry and clenched his teeth, what to help, it was obvious that he was lazy and didn't go to the meeting, and it was true that he wanted to go shopping. After going back, he went to Fang Xin to complain, saying that he had a nosebleed when he looked at the beautiful women at the exhibition! Han Luoqi thought viciously in his heart.

This didn't wronged Zheng Lu, this kid wandered around, and when he saw a beautiful woman, he came to one. When the shooting is almost over, I go to each booth and line up to try the game.

"Teacher Zheng Lu, how did you come here?"

When Zheng Lu was queuing, a surprised voice sounded in his ears. Zheng Lu was also taken aback, he didn't know who recognized him, if it was Mr. Zhou, then he wouldn't be able to eat and walk around. So Zheng Lu hurriedly turned his head to take a look, but it was the leader of the Daewoo CG team that cooperated with Hantaku University in the first semester.

"Haha, it's you. I'm not here to line up to try out the fairy sword. ”

Zheng Lu was relieved to see that he was not from the school. But he couldn't remember the name of the person in front of him, so he had to play haha.

"Oh yes, it's an honor for the number one game developer at Hantaku University to try out our game. Don't stand in line, come here. You're really, if you want to play, you can get a game CD! Where do you have to queue? ”

The eldest brother enthusiastically welcomed Zheng Lu aside, and really took out a disc and stuffed it to Zheng Lu. It's good to buy it. I didn't expect that my face was quite big, and if each exhibition area gave itself a game, it would be developed.

Zheng Lu thought beautifully in his heart. But it's a pity that this is just Zheng Lu's dream. People in other exhibition areas didn't recognize Zheng Lulai at all, let alone have any friendship.

By the time Zheng Lu had finished visiting all the exhibition areas, it was already noon. So Zheng Lu returned to the exhibition area of Banzhai University and prepared to have a working meal.

"Stinky boy, are you willing to come back?"

As soon as Zheng Lu came back, he met Han Luoqi. She was thinking about 'framing' Zheng Lu in the law, but she didn't expect to run back and throw herself into the net.

"Well, I've lost my observation of the enemy, and only by knowing myself and the other can I win a hundred battles."

Zheng Luting Han Luoqi spoke in a low tone, and he knew that something was wrong, this was a precursor to Han Luoqi's madness. So he hurriedly made up an excuse to try to get by.

"You will sit here for me in the afternoon, if you want to escape, I will tell Fang Xin that you will pick up girls at the exhibition, and then go to dinner with the unknown lady!"

Han Luoqi's trick was poisonous enough, and Zheng Lu said on the spot that he would resolutely hold his post and not waver in his death. Han Luoqi has always said that he will do it, and for the sake of his future, it is better to settle down. It's a pity that the afternoon is the focus, and all the stage performances will come out, so I don't have a chance to enjoy it now.

When the other classmates saw Zheng Lu deflated, they all laughed in low voices, which made Zheng Lu even more depressed. Fortunately, I can also watch my own stage performance in the afternoon, which is a small compensation. Since the performance team was selected, it was handed over to someone else to be responsible for designing the stage movements, and Zheng Lu hadn't seen it once, so the freshness was still there.

"Little glasses, when will our plan start?"

While Zheng Lu was eating, the glasses girl couldn't wait to run out. She was ready now, and she waited inside for a long time, but she didn't see Zheng Lu give an order, and now she was a little impatient.
