Chapter 14: The work that subverts the gaming world
Chapter 14 is a work that subverts the gaming world
Reviews and discussions for the Junior Game Design Contest will begin soon.
A twenty-year-old game censor on the federal gaming platform put down the SNS handheld in his hand, pushed his colleague on the side, and excitedly said: "Hey, Gasquelo, this new Super Mario Bros. is very fun, have you downloaded it?" ”
Gasquelo, a bald young man in his twenties, said:
"Of course, Watt, don't help me to be blind and deaf! How could I not download this kind of excellent quality game, I am a little suspicious that this game is made by an anonymous A-level designer, maybe it is still the more capable kind of an A-class designer.
Otherwise, how could it be possible to make such a work that subverts the entire game industry with only a size of 14MB, and it seems that it is the champion today. ”
Watt grinned and said, "Hahaha, I think so, we earned it anyway, let me see if his maker is the legendary A-grade game design master." ”
"Huh?!" Watt flipped through the list of producers of the new Superhorse on the computer, and all four of them were Wang Wei, "It's a name I've never heard of, and it's incredible that it's a poor place like Atlantis." ”
Gasquelo heard his colleague's muttering, and curiously approached the computer to check the list and information of the game producers, "Hey, if a person can do such a good job of making an independent game, how much time does it take him, ten or twenty years?" Impossible, is he an alien? ”
Watt was also curious about this, and when he reached 10:25, he pushed down his colleague next to him and shook his head and said with a smile: "Hehe, how is it possible." Let's go to the scene and maybe find out the secret. ”
"Well, let's go."
When the two arrived in the audience, they saw two game icons and the number of downloads displayed on the big screen on the stage, namely "New Super Mario Bros. 1888"; Jedi: Lightsaber 1234 times.
Viewers were just as amazed by the number of downloads this indie game.
"It can't be!"
"Is the download data fake?"
"An obscure indie game has more downloads than a B-grade game designer?"
"The data must be wrong, I suspect there's something shady in it!"
"There must be a shady scene, otherwise why is a casual game so downloaded."
Jerome, the head of operations of the Federal Game Platform, served as the host, this handsome old man with white hair who looked to be over fifty years old, with a handsome appearance and a very elegant voice, he heard the voices around him holding the microphone and said:
"Everyone should download one of these two games today, or download both of them."
Hearing this, there was a commotion in the audience,
"Of course, you have to download it for free from B-level designers!"
"The new Super Mario Bros. has a weird name, but it's a lot of fun, and my dad recommended me to download it."
"The new Super Mario Bros. is so fun, and the size is so small, who would be stupid if you don't download it."
"But that's not a reason to cheat, I demand that the correct data be published!"
…… At least most of the jumbled voices are talking about "New Super Mario Bros.", and some of them are trying to discredit it.
Jerome heard the lively voices in the audience, pressed down with his hands to indicate that please be quiet, and he smiled slightly when talking:
"The data is definitely no problem. It doesn't matter if you haven't played it, I'll start as a player to give a shallow evaluation of these two games that have been downloaded more than 1,000 times. ”
The audience in the front row of the auditorium is the operator of the platform, or the owner of some game studio, who laughs and says:
"You are so humble, there are not hundreds of classic games that you have excavated, but more than a dozen, and you are a well-deserved game detective."
Jerome smiled faintly, acquiescing to this nickname, and he pointed to "Jedi Warrior: Lightsaber" and said:
"I don't need to mention the game work made by a B-level game designer, right? Hahaha
I'll just briefly say it - this game is a hardcore regular RPG, the action elements are very interesting, and the theme is very much in line with the background of the current warriors trying to survive, and the atmosphere is good.
But the game's attack judgment is a bit problematic.,It's hard to tell if you've attacked the enemy.,Some of the game's settings are also a little vague.,You need to dig in the later stage.,So the overall fun of the work is not less.,The difficulty is not small.,Those hardcore players who play with a small tolerance rate should like it very much.。
Despite these shortcomings and features, the overall story and graphics are full of charm, and the two settings in the game, where you can stay upgraded without taking damage, and the attack power of the lightsaber decreases when attacked, bring tension to players and enhance the unique experience in the game.
Overall, it is an excellent work that requires a certain amount of skill. ”
Bang Bang Bang ...... The applause was prolonged, and it was clear that Jerome's 'simple talk' hit the nail on the head of the game, and the audience in the first row nodded in agreement.
Jerome was very happy to see so many games today, smiled and ordered his assistant to hand the spare microphone to the audience with identity and experience in the first row, "Next, please say some comments about this game." ”
In the past, because the host has been praising and touting the game, the audience in the first row was required to take the position of 'last man', that is, thinking about the problems in the game and opposing the host's explanation and evaluation.
But today Jerome said all the advantages and disadvantages, and as a result, there was such a situation, and more than a dozen front-row audience members you look at me, I look at you, all refused to comment one by one.
Everyone shook their heads with a smile and didn't want to say more, "Lord Jerome, you already believe what you said, and we don't need to talk about it at all." ”
Seeing the abnormal performance in the audience, Jerome didn't realize that his behavior had broken the usual explanation, he took a sip of water and continued to point to the number one download "New Super Mario Bros." to start commenting.
The handsome old man with gray hair first closed his eyes and was silent in the midst of everyone's attention, and then said in a pious and deep voice:
"I'm very grateful to this game designer named Wang Wei, who showed me another innovative way to play games, and he used his game language to subvert my understanding of the entire game industry, yes, it's the word subversion, and I didn't say it wrong."
The audience let out a good-natured laugh, waiting for the handsome old guy host to continue to explain.
Jerome swallowed and said, "Now I'm going to talk about how this game has changed my understanding - the first point is the original vertical play split-screen setting, which is very novel in two, and the map composition and the clever technical setting of the X/Y virtual buttons opened my eyes."
The second point is that this game can actually combine the graphics, music, plot, and gameplay cleverly and seamlessly together, without any abrupt feeling, and it can be said that this is the first time in my life that I have seen a game with such a high degree of completion.
The third point, that is, the colorful and interesting settings of the various traps in the game, the various creative routes and the sense of fun it expresses, is the richest game I have ever seen in my life. ”
Jerome said how he felt in his heart, and when he saw the audience fall into an unprecedented state of silence, they were all stretching their necks to listen to his evaluation, and the old naughty boy stopped when he felt interesting, and took a few sips of water leisurely,
"I'll talk about it in detail, but I'll summarize it according to my excitement now - this is a game that has changed the world of games like never before!"
