Chapter 042: Awards

On the eve of New Year's Day, that is, on December 30, the first National College Student Software Game Development Competition, which caused a huge sensation in the country, officially ended, and awards were presented to the winners in Beijing. Tang Xin's "Goddess Cube" won the first place in the game category, and the number of downloads exceeded 30 million. The second place "Running Xiaohua" has been updated and optimized many times, and the audience has responded well, and its reputation and downloads have also made breakthroughs, and the final number of downloads has reached 3 million. In third place, "Crazy Design" ranked third in the game category with 2.8 million downloads.

After Zhuo Ping's production of "Poison Tyrant Antivirus" underwent a name change to "Golden Shield Antivirus", its downloads also ushered in a new peak, and the cumulative number of downloads has exceeded 10 million. It's also a testament to how much a good and meaningful name for the software can have on users. The previously highly anticipated music playback software "Listen to the Eye" ended up with only 2.6 million downloads, ranking third. The second place in the software category is a download software that rushed up in the later stage, and the final download volume of this software was 5 million.

At the award ceremony, Tang Xin met Hua Jun, the independent developer of "Running Xiaohua", a super nerdy boy with curly hair, black-framed glasses, thin, and a feeling of malnutrition.

"Hello goddess, my name is Hua Jun, I am from Jimei University, majoring in software and game development, and I am a sophomore this year, so I am very happy to meet you." Hua Jun introduced himself.

Tang Xin smiled and stretched out his hand to shake the other party's right hand, and said, "I'm a junior, I didn't expect that we were enrolled in the same year." I've tried your "Run, Xiaohua", and I feel that the playability is still good. ”

Hua Jun didn't expect the IT goddess to take the initiative to shake hands with him, he was flattered, that feeling made him feel that his previous life was really in vain, and he felt that he should not wash his hands for a month when he went back.

Once Hua Jun reported Tang Xin because of "Goddess Cube", thinking that Tang Xin was a brush. As a result, when he tried it himself, he was completely convinced. In terms of the playability of the game, his "Running Xiaohua" is much worse. Especially after the last version of "Goddess Cube" was updated, it directly captured his heart and made him fall in love with this game, so that he became the tap water of this game, and recommended it to friends and netizens when he had the opportunity.

"Senior sister, I heard that your game sold more than 100 million." Hua Jun asked.

Tang Xin nodded and said, "Yes, what about your game, "Run, Xiaohua" is actually quite good. ”

Hua Jun smiled bitterly: "Actually, it took me a lot of time to make the engine of this game, and after the game was made, I spent almost a year of my spare time on this game." But no one wants to buy it, and no one likes this game. But I'm in a good state of mind, I'm still young anyway, I'm only a sophomore. The next game, it will definitely be better. ”

"This game actually still has a lot of advantages, but the name is too casual, and the game background is a little too simple. If you are interested in joining the micro era, sign a contract first, which can allow you to study in school, and use your spare time to work for the micro era during your studies, and the micro era will allow you an annual salary of 100,000. After you graduate, you will officially join the micro era, and the salary will be negotiated. However, during the study period, all the projects you participated in or developed were copyrighted by Micro Times, and the company's trade secrets could not be disclosed. Tang Xin said.

Hua Jun was pleasantly surprised: "Really, can I really join Micro Times while I was in college?" Great, of course I promise. ”

Tang Xin smiled and said: "For talents, the micro era is extremely demanding. You are welcome to join us. ”

In fact, "Run, Xiaohua" may be difficult to get into the elegant hall as a computer game, but on Earth, there is a similar parkour adventure game "Temple Run" that does a very good job, especially coinciding with the smartphone fire, becoming the third largest mobile platform game application after "Angry Birds" and "Plants vs. Zombies", which is popular all over the world.

At present, Mango Technology is in the research and development of smart phones, and Micro Times has begun to cooperate with Mango Technology to launch mobile phone software and games for Mango smart phones at the same time as launching client products.

On the basis of "Run, Xiaohua", upgrade this game to create a domestic version of "Temple Run".

However, this mobile game is a full 3D third-person perspective, and for the current Internet market, 2D engines have not yet been popularized, let alone 3D engines. It takes a lot of time, but through this, the acceleration of the development of the 3D engine in the micro era also needs to be put on the agenda.

In his previous life, Tang Xin was very keen on 3D games, especially the popular "World of Warcraft" that swept the world, Tang Xin can be called addicted. In the entertainment industry, his hobby of games has been exposed by all the media. Although the era of mobile Internet came later, this game gradually declined, but it is undeniable that this game is a classic.

Of course, the current micro-era has just developed, and the stall can't be spread too big. On the one hand, there is still a shortage of talents, and the second is a lack of funds. After all, the operation of the company, everything costs money. She now has money to buy servers and broadband for the "Legend" open beta during the Spring Festival. As a 2D online game, "Legend" is not particularly commendable in the online game development market, but its ultimate pursuit of PK has made him addicted by more and more players. Once "Legend" is launched in the micro era, it will undoubtedly be a blockbuster nuclear weapon for the newly developed Internet market in China.

Although I don't know how the "Hope MT" created by Yang Yang's excellent network may gain a certain degree of popularity in the domestic online game market. But compared to "Legend", it is destined to be a . bit of the game.

"Xin Xin, what are you in a daze? Someone is shouting at you. ”

Tang Xin was thinking about the launch of the open beta of "Legend" during the Spring Festival, but she didn't notice that someone greeted her at the awards ceremony, and it wasn't until Zhuo Ping, who was traveling with her, couldn't help but touch her that she sobered up.

"Hello, I'm Xiao Jun from Modu University of Science and Technology, and I'm the developer of the music playback software "Listening". The person who came was not tall, and what impressed Tang Xin was that the other party's ears were wearing earrings.

For Xiao Jun, Tang Xin has long admired his name, after all, as this college student game software development competition, the first popular game is this music playback software. In the future, music players will sweep the computer and mobile phones. Although it is only a music playback software, it is a must-download software for many music lovers. However, music players have too high requirements for copyright, after all, there are many music players in the country, and each one hopes that musicians will exclusively authorize them. Naturally, for the sake of copyright, various music players have engaged in fierce competition.

In the previous life, the top three music playback software in China, QQ Music, Kugou and Kuwo Music Box merged to form a new China Music Group, and Penguin became the boss in the music market. Through the merger, New Music Group is at the forefront of the mobile Internet in terms of membership services, paid downloads, and live music broadcasts, and its market value is also rising.

As a king-level figure in her previous life, Tang Xin's music copyright was finally sold exclusively to Kugou, and after the merger of the music group, the three major music platforms will enjoy her music copyright, which is the benefit of the merger.

Tang Xin actually wants to develop music player software to open up the Internet entertainment in the future micro era. However, the music player involves the field of music copyright, and she hopes to complete the layout of music through acquisitions in the future.

"Senior Xiao, hello, look up for a long time." Tang Xin said politely to the other party.

Xiao Jun was a little embarrassed and said, "Where do I have any fame, or your IT goddess is the most famous." I have downloaded and installed "Goddess Cube", and I often have enough energy to challenge some of the levels in the game. ”

Tang Xin also smiled: "Actually, there are some levels that I can't complete by myself." I read the online reviews of the first version of "Goddess Cube", and I thought the game was too simple and unchallenging, so I thought, since you want to be difficult, then I will give you the difficulty. As a result, ten Challenge Mode versions have been added. ”

Xiao Jun was stunned: "There is still such an episode?" ”
