Chapter 974: Is This Statistical Error?
Just like Chen Xu's feelings, the players who watched "Truman's World" for the first time on the Internet are also discussing it in the game community and various channels.
Although compared to the movies that are actually put on the big screen, the "Truman's World" made with the help of the "Sims" game actually has a lot of flaws.
But apparently unlike ordinary popcorn movies, "Truman's World" is not a film with the help of special effects, it is also a feature film in itself.
The whole story is its main core, and compared to the experience of ordinary movies, there must be something missing, after all, if you can completely reproduce an excellent movie by relying on the content of the game, then the film and television industry should almost lose your job or transform.
However, the plot of "Truman's World" still gives players a great sense of shock.
It's like when I first experienced "Under the Legend", I broke the fourth wall and let the little flower in the game have a direct conversation with the player.
Although "Truman's World" does not directly talk to the player in front of the computer, it shows that meaning.
Just like Truman's World, the producer represents the player, and Truman in the game represents the player-controlled character.
However, compared with the plot of "Truman's World", Chen Xu is a little difficult at this time.
Originally, in his thoughts, he had already prepared the stories he wanted to shoot.
But now after watching "Truman's World", he feels that what he originally wanted to shoot is not so interesting at all.
Of course, he also knows that he definitely has no way to compare with "Truman's World", after all, this is the official story script produced by Nebula Games, and it may even be produced by a team.
Not to mention the rest, just the dubbing of the various NPC characters in it, he can't do this.
After all, it's all money!
If you don't consider pulling people to make a free cameo, but invite a special voice actor, if there are more characters involved, then this amount of money is not a small amount.
After all, voice actors are all based on sentences.
"Wait, if I can't do it myself, I can work with others! Nebulas Games also didn't say that it had to be an individual entry. Suddenly thinking of something, Chen Xu's eyes couldn't help but light up.
His own ability is naturally limited, although he can make the content better, but it also costs money.
And those money are actually quite painful for him now.
But he doesn't have to be alone.
For example, he also saw some news on the Internet, and some foreign hobby teams also announced that they would participate in this event as a team.
You must know that in Super Mario Manufacturing, which he played before, there are some maps that appear to have been uploaded by just one author, but are actually researched and made by a group of people.
He also has some connections in the circle, and in terms of PY's skills, he Chen Xu doesn't lose at all!
…………………………
The appearance of "Truman's World" has opened a new door for many players, at least for them to understand how to make a scripted story in "The Sims".
Soon, with the opening date of the Sims Script Contest, a large number of entries were uploaded to the official website of The Sims.
Of course, the content of this first batch is actually very poor.
Because many of the players in it didn't actually think about participating in this competition at the beginning, they just wanted to get a purchase qualification for Nebula game vouchers.
Although as long as you sign up, you can get the qualification to buy game vouchers, but for some players, this registration has participated, and this itself can be regarded as a more interesting gameplay in "The Sims", so it is better to upload one to join in the fun.
So this also led to a large number of scripted stories with bad content in the early stage, but as the limelight passed in the first few days, some entries with better quality soon appeared.
At this time, Yang Chen was also discussing with the members of the team.
"Mr. Yang, there are many works that are not individual entries, but teamwork." Wang Ye reported the latest news to Yang Chen.
This time, the idea of the "Sims" script contest was proposed by Yang Chen, but Wang Ye was responsible for the operation of the event.
"Divide it into two groups, and the top 10 positions will be counted separately for the single group and the team group, and the total number of places will be increased by 100 places on the original basis and divided equally." Hearing Wang Ye's report, Yang Chen thought about it and made a decision.
After all, compared to individual players, teams have a much greater advantage.
And although it is not a competitive event like e-sports, after all, it is also a competition, but at least it is necessary to ensure a basic fairness.
Thinking of this, Yang Chen said to Wang Ye again: "By the way, all the works that currently have follow-up entries will be numbered and blurred." ”
In addition to ordinary gamers, there are also some well-known game streamers or video writers.
Since it has been decided to be fair, it is better to follow through to the end, after all, compared to the average player, their advantage is also very large.
The quality of the two works, even if the works of some well-known anchors and video authors is not as good as the other, but the large number of fans themselves is estimated to be able to make them win in the voting session.
So what Yang Chen can do is almost to make this game as fair as possible.
After Yang Chen finished speaking, Wang Ye returned to the team with some recorded details.
It's not a very complicated content, just publicly announce the changes to the rules, and add a filtering program function.
As for the players, there is no resistance to this sudden change of rules, but they are very happy.
After all, judging from the content of the rule changes, this is actually a good thing for most of the contestants, after all, it is more fair.
……………………
With the advancement of the event time, it was almost the end of the end, and at this time, Yang Chen also paid a little attention to the final result.
In the past few days, his main experience has been in the development of the subsequent origins of Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, and there is not much attention paid to the Sims script event.
After knowing that the results had been calculated internally according to the data, Yang Chen also took a look.
With the ranking of the normal team group and the individual group, Yang Chen didn't have too many emotional fluctuations.
But when he saw the data of one of the entries, Yang Chen was instantly shocked.
How hot is this data?
Isn't the statistics wrong?
