God-level Game Designers Start From Scaring the Crying Anchor

January 17th, Monday.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. After the most difficult initial stage, and the friends including Lin Qingyao are gradually entering the state, the development of "Battle of Survival" is finally on the right track.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

In the office, when Xun Ze was helping to test the melee feel of the characters in "Battle of Survival", he suddenly received a text message on his phone.

He opened it and saw that it was actually sent by Misty Asgard.

"Hello, respected game designer, the Misty Asgard Cup Game Design Grand Prix is ​​open again, and I look forward to your participation. For details, please click the link..."

"Game Design Grand Prix?" Xun Ze raised his eyebrows slightly. After confirming that it was not a phishing website, he clicked the link.

The mobile phone interface immediately jumped to the homepage of the Misty Asgard. The most prominent position on the homepage was the promotional poster for this competition.

After entering the details page, Xun Ze spent about five minutes to get a general understanding of the content of the game.

In general, Misty Asgard will hold a game design competition from time to time, and the game designers who get the top ten in the competition can get corresponding rewards.

The first place can get the official promotion of Misty Asgard.

Don't look at Misty Asgard is a game editor and the largest official regulatory organization for the game industry in China.

But it can be said that hundreds of millions of people browse the official website of Misty Asgard every day.

Because even if it is a big game platform, the game they recommend may give players a bad game for various reasons.

But Misty Asgard wouldn't do such a thing. How could any capital be able to bribe Misty Asgard?

If someone does that, not only will they fail to achieve their goals, but they will also be arrested for bribery.

So as long as it is a game recommended by Misty Asgard, players basically start with no brains. Even if it is not a 3A-level masterpiece, it will at least be a boutique game of the same type.

To be recommended by the Misty Asgard, either the sales volume and rating have reached a certain height, or it is to participate in the game design grand prix held by Misty Asgard.

The former is undoubtedly very difficult for most game designers. Even Xun Ze's three games have not been recommended on the homepage of the Misty Asgard.

His game rating is in line with the requirements, the problem is that his sales are not enough, so every time he is so close.

The Game Grand Prix gives game designers an excellent opportunity to promote their games.

Many game designers became game designers with a higher star rating just by winning the first place in the competition and then recommending through the homepage of Misty Asgard.

It is worth mentioning that Misty Asgard holds the Game Design Grand Prix, and another important purpose is to give newcomer game designers a relatively fair competitive environment.

In other environments, limited by fame, capital, platform and other reasons, it is more difficult for rookie game designers to succeed in their games.

But at the Game Design Grand Prix, no matter who's game is on the competition page, even a rookie game designer, as long as your game is fun enough, you're not afraid of being buried.

Therefore, the themes given by the Game Design Grand Prix are relatively simple, in order to take care of new game designers who may encounter the dilemma of insufficient funds.

After all, if the theme given is "war", "cosmos" and other hard-core themes, although a game that fits the theme can be made at a small cost, it will definitely be overwhelmed by a game with a large cost.

When the gameplay is similar, the most intuitive picture is enough to decide the winner.

The theme of this game design competition is "casual puzzle games".

As long as the game allows players to easily pass the time in their spare time, they can be included in the category of casual puzzle games.

Such as Snake, Xiaoxiaole, Lianliankan, etc.

"Well... "Battle for Survival" is going well at the moment, and I'm not in a hurry to release the game, so I can polish it well."

"You can participate in this competition. First, it is recommended on the homepage of Misty Asgard, but it is a rare good thing. Second, during the blank period of the development of "Battle of Survival", you can properly brush your sense of existence."

"The most important thing is that after winning the first place, you can accumulate a lot of attention, which is also good for the release of "Battle of Survival"."

Although the winning game can only be recommended on the homepage for a month, players will definitely follow the recommendation to see if the game designer who won the first place has a similar game.

Even if not, I will try to play the designer's other games.

This is also why some game designers can use this to reach a higher star rating, because with attention and fame, the sales of the game will naturally rise.

"Then what game should I use to participate in the competition?" Xun Ze supported his head with his right hand, and the names of the games came to his mind.

"Since it is to pave the way for "Battle of Survival", then make a game with the same elements as "Battle of Survival"..."

"Zombie... corpse tide... shooting..."

Thinking of this, Xun Ze's eyes lit up and said, "It's decided to be you! "Plants vs. Zombies"!"

"Plants vs. Zombies" can also be regarded as a casual puzzle game. In the game, players have to use plants to defend their defenses and face a large number of zombies from time to time.

This is exactly the same as "Battle of Survival"~www.novelmt.com~ It can be called a cartoon version of "Battle of Survival".

After all, when a pea shooter shoots a pea, it is considered a shot! It's just that the pea shooter moves on its own without the player pulling the trigger.

"Well... there are two months of competition, which is indeed enough for a casual puzzle game..."

"But for Plants vs. Zombies, it's a little tight..."

"But it doesn't matter, as long as the time is arranged, it is still in time..."

Thinking of this, Xun Ze clicked on the registration page, filled in his information in detail and correctly and submitted it, Xun Ze's avatar and name appeared in the list of contestants.

Xun Ze took a look at the list, good guy! There are not a lot of people, but there are hundreds of people who signed up.

And the number of game designers is still increasing. Xun Ze is not the only game designer who wants to win the competition.

At the same time, Xun Ze also found that many of the people who signed up were still game designers who were backed by giants.

For example, Emperor Penguin Games, Tianpeng Game Company, and old friend Yiwang Game Company.

In addition, there are many Samsung game designers.

As for the four-star game designer, there is no one, let alone the five-star game designer.

Because they might have been invited by Misty Asgard to be judges long ago, so naturally it is impossible for them to appear in the list of contestants.

This is a good thing for other game designers, but for Xun Ze, it is not so meaningful.

If he can beat a five-star game designer in this competition, his fame will not take off like a rocket.

But it doesn't matter, the effect of defeating many Samsung game designers will not be too bad.
