The Misty Asgard Cup Game Design Grand Prix is open again, and this time the proposition is somewhat unexpected, that is "horror game".
Compared with foreign countries, Shendingguo's game industry started relatively late, and coupled with the influence of various foreign horror movies and TV series, it is still a leader abroad in the field of horror games.
Due to various reasons, the horror games of Shendingguo are still in the stage of imitating and learning from foreign horror games, so many horror games cannot give players a sense of horror.
Even Xun Ze's "Fear of Ghosts" was only scary at the beginning. Now players enter a haunted house just like going home, and naturally they will no longer have any creepy fear.
Especially after Xun Ze opened the game's permissions, allowing players to make their own MODs, some people even held birthday parties with dozens or even hundreds of people in the haunted house. How can such a "fear of ghosts" be scary?
If "Ghost Fear" is still played as a social game because of the player's own "wisdom", then some domestic horror games have strayed from the beginning, and can only be said to be covered in a layer of horror The skin of the game, in the end, not only can not make players feel scared, but it is also a bit funny.
It is estimated that Misty Asgard also wants to change this, so that the game type of Shendingguo can develop as comprehensively as possible, so the proposition of this grand prix is named "horror game".
Although Xun Ze wanted to participate in this design competition, return to his original intention and let players feel the charm of horror games, but it is estimated that he is not "qualified" to participate this time.
According to international practice, a game designer can be promoted to a five-star game designer by making a game with a sales volume of more than 50 million copies and a score of 9 points or above.
Free games need to be comprehensively considered from the number of downloads, the number of daily active players, and game ratings. If it is still a free online game, it is also necessary to add standards such as subsequent update quality and monthly flow.
In addition, the game designer must have experience in developing other large-scale games, and the results of that large-scale game should not be too bad.
Lan Fujie can become a five-star game designer with "Titan", but Xun Ze's "Overwatch" has overturned "Titan".
In addition, as a VR game, "Rise of the Tomb Raider" has also created many new ways of playing. It also used the best game of the Shending Kingdom and was nominated for the best game of the year by Aquamarine, which is in line with the promotion of five-star games. design prerequisites.
Now, as long as Misty Asgard conducts the final verification of the "Overwatch" data and everything is confirmed, Xun Ze will be able to jump two levels in a row and become a five-star game designer.
The Design Grand Prix is generally for Samsung game designers and below, as well as newcomer game designers. Four-star and five-star game designers often appear as judges or special guests.
"But I'm still a Samsung game designer now, to be more rigorous. If I participate in this design competition, it seems to be in line with the rules, right?"
However, to be on the safe side, Xun Ze still called Piao Miao Xian Palace's customer service number to save face.
"Hello Designer Xun, how can I help you?" The voice of the customer service lady is still pleasant and enthusiastic, which makes people feel very comfortable.
"Hello, I would like to ask, am I still a Samsung game designer?" Xun Ze asked.
"Please wait a moment." The customer service lady said after operating it on the computer: "Designer Xun, you are indeed still a Samsung game designer, and your five-star evaluation is still in progress. It should be one or two months. can be done within.”
In any case, it is also the top level among game designers. In addition, Xun Ze is still so young, in order to avoid falling into the limelight and to convince people, it is also responsible for Xun Ze and paving the way for Xun Ze's future development.
When Piaomiao Xiangong evaluated Xun Ze, it was more serious and rigorous, and it was reasonable that it would take longer. Xun Ze also expressed his understanding of this.
"Oh. Okay. Thank you. Then I will be fine if I participate in this design competition, right?" Xun Ze asked with a smile.
The customer service lady was obviously taken aback, but she quickly recovered and said, "Designer Xun, I have to ask the leader about this, please give me some time."
"Okay. Thank you very much."
After finishing the call, Xun Ze had a relaxed expression on his face. Anyway, even if he couldn't participate in the competition, he would have nothing to lose. Even if he didn't have the homepage recommendation of Misty Asgard, the game could still get enough attention.
But the customer service lady was a little nervous. She had never heard that a quasi-five-star game designer could participate in the Design Grand Prix. In addition, this person was Xun Ze, so she quickly reported the matter.
When I just heard the report from the customer service lady, the people in Misty Asgard were also a little stunned.
"Could it be that Xun Ze is dissatisfied with our evaluation speed, so he wants to express his dissatisfaction with this?" Someone said in an office of Misty Asgard.
"Not really. For Xun Ze, becoming a five-star game designer is already a sure thing. Even if you need to wait, it will only take an extra month or two at most. There is no need to play with us at this time." said another.
"Indeed, although Xun Ze is young, judging from his words and deeds since he entered the industry, he is not such a person who is impatient and doesn't know how to advance or retreat. This young man is shrewd! There is no need to get angry with us on this matter. ." Someone echoed.
The person who raised his suspicions at the beginning was also persuaded. He nodded and said, "If that's the case, why did Xun Ze participate in this design competition?"
"It may be a whim!" Territory, who had been listening to everyone's discussion, suddenly said.
"Leader, what do you say?" Others asked one after another.
After the leader picked up the thermos cup and took a sip of tea, he said with a smile: "Xun Ze's debut novel "Ghost Fear" is a horror game, but he has not made any new horror games since then, and now "Ghost Fear" isn't so scary anymore.
It just so happened that the title of the design competition this time was "horror games", which aroused Xun Ze's interest, or he wanted to take the opportunity to re-prove himself in the field of horror games.
In addition, he asked our side first, instead of quietly signing up for the competition himself, which still gave us face, so I don't think he was expressing dissatisfaction, but just an itchy hand. "
"You still have a thorough understanding of the leader!" Others echoed.
"Since he has this interest, let him participate~www.novel35.com~ However, he is also a quasi-five-star game designer, and if he competes with the 'juniors' for rewards, it will be a bit of a blow.
How about this! Tell Xun, he can participate in this competition, but at most he can only display his game on the competition page. Even if his game comes out on top, he will not be able to get the reward of the competition, so he should give more opportunities to People who need it more! "
"Okay. Leader, I'll send someone to communicate with Xun Ze."
The leader nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, it's good for Xun Ze to participate, it just makes him the catfish in the catfish effect, adding a little vitality to the other game designers participating in the competition, so that they don't have to make any strange things. Horror game."
"Indeed!"
After receiving the reply from the customer service lady, Xun Ze also said that there was no problem. He just wanted to return to his original intention and bring a surprise to the players. It doesn't matter what the reward is.
After confirming that there was no problem with both sides, Xun Ze officially signed up for this design competition, and when his name appeared on the list of contestants, the discussion about him became lively.
