Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall? Chapter 88

  Chapter 88 True Man-Han Feast

  Sunday morning, nine o'clock in the morning, Dongjin.

  Under the abundant sunlight, a huge exhibition hall building with an iconic inverted triangle design on the top and a height of nearly 60 meters stands on the square surrounded by greenery.

  This is Dongjin International Exhibition Center.

Completed in 1996, this international convention and exhibition center under the guidance of the internationally renowned organizational design firm "Sato Design" has always been one of the most iconic buildings in Dongjin, and even the entire Neon .

  Every year, countless large and small exhibitions are held here.

   And this year's Asian E-sports Game Developers Conference, as one of the largest game exhibitions in the pan-Asian region, naturally decided to hold the conference here!

  At this time, in the venue, it was the entrance stage of the conference. Players and the media entered the venue one after another.

   "Collect game news, focus on what players love, hello everyone, I am Tiantian, a reporter from "Tour Daily"!"

  Standing on the side of the entrance passage, holding a portable microphone every day, waving at the lens on the camera platform:

   "Welcome everyone to watch Tiantian Youbao's special live broadcast today!"

   "As you can see, right now, I am in Hall 1, West Building, Dongjin International Exhibition Center,"

   "The four-year Asian E-sports Game Developers Conference will be held here,"

   "According to our understanding, this Asian Competition has participated in the conference by manufacturers and designers from more than ten countries in five major regions,"

   "The conference collected a total of 25 games, including 15 small games, five medium-sized games, and five large-scale games,"

   "At the exhibition later, we will see ten large and medium-sized games displayed,"

   "And the final crown general will also be produced in these ten games,"

   "Now, let's follow the live broadcast and see how the participating manufacturers are preparing!"

   Talking!

   Tiantian beckoned, followed by the camera, and walked all the way to the manufacturer's seat at the right front of the venue.

  In the live broadcast room, there was a heated discussion—

   'Man, this venue is so big'

  'Hot knowledge: The name of the first exhibition hall is the International Conference Hall, which can accommodate thousands of people at the same time. The venue is equipped with a conference system and an efficient audio-visual system, as well as simultaneous translation in 7 languages, etc.'

  'Good guy, after all, it's the Intercontinental Developers Conference held every four years, so there's a lot of people there'

  'My evaluation is—Compared with the venue of the closing e-sports league, this place is the younger brother among the real brothers'

  'Yes (laughing and crying)'

  'Yeah, the closing league was played in the Bird's Nest. If you count it like this, this stadium is really not comparable'

  'The league at home, no matter whether it is a game champion or a league champion, there must be one in the Bird's Nest'

  'In contrast, I still hope that the game is our own'

  'I feel like there's a lot of drama, this time the representatives of the battle are Fuyan Game and Golden Wind'

  'Nuyan is very fierce. After all, it is an old brand company. It is said that this time it directly stretched the budget limit and invested 150 million yuan. The game type is also my specialty racing game, but the wind of gold...it's hard to say...'

  'Indeed, although the Golden Wind has been very fierce recently, after all, the weight class is here. At first, they said that they participated in the Asian Games. I thought it was a small game group, but it turned out to be a medium game group.'

  'The minimum investment for a medium-sized game group is 50 million, and the wind of gold is the money that was scraped together'

  'I feel like this wave is a bit of a gamble'

  'But having said that, Brother Sheng's second-generation FPS idea is really awesome. If you strike while the iron is hot and make a second-generation FPS shuttle, it shouldn't be a disastrous failure.'

  'I hope so, Xiao Huang, I don't ask you to win the Bird's Nest, I just ask you not to kill yourself in this wave'

  'Xiao Huang's name is too sloppy'

   'Hahahahahaha true...'

  'After all, I quite like the golden wind'

  'Leave the matter of winning the championship to your Nuyan Oudoudo! Xiao Huang's main point is participation, not dying is victory! '

I can tell!

   Players still love Golden Wind very much.

   But for the matter of 'winning the championship', they didn't report much hope.

   After all, Xiao Huang's current size is at best a small and medium-sized game company. In theory, even if he participates this time, he should also participate in the small game group.

  But now, the Golden Wind has sold out all the iron, and squeezed into the medium-sized game track abruptly.

   This is like a boxing match, a lightweight player squeezed into the middleweight or even heavyweight competition abruptly.

  The consequences can be foreseen.

  That's why the players shouted 'Please don't die'.

  Don't even think about winning the championship, we'll be safe and sound, just don't die suddenly.

  Following the discussion of the players in the live broadcast room!

  Tiantian also followed the stairs all the way to the manufacturer's seat.

  Seeing that at this time, the representatives of the manufacturers are basically all in place, and Tiantian also interviewed representatives of several manufacturers one after another.

For example, Lionheart Games from Southeast Asia. The game they brought to the conference is called "Super Brawl". It is a MOBA game with a total investment of about 80 million. It is one of the five medium-sized games. member.

There is also Gerald Technology from the West Asia sector. Although they are a game company established last year, they are not small. The participating work this time is called "Scorching Track", which is a racing game. The total investment With a full 150 million, Huaguo's Fuyan game is regarded as the biggest competitor.

There is also Kol Co., Ltd. from the neon sector. As an old sports game company, this is the second time they have participated in the Asian Games. This time, they spent about 70 million to create a game based on comics. "Baseball Hero EX" hopes to win the ranking in this conference.

   Interview all the way down!

  Finally, Tiantian came to the Huaxia factory area at the forefront.

   And at this time.

  Gu Sheng was chatting with Li Xiaofeng, Chief Director of Nuyan Games beside him.

   In fact, the two had never met before.

  But at this kind of intercontinental conference, the two are both Chinese, so they will naturally get closer.

  Besides, the two companies are also one of Yiyou's in-depth partners, which can be regarded as 'relatively related'.

   After a few simple greetings, the two sides chatted together.

  Li Xiaofeng praised Gu Sheng's ingenuity and creativity, and Gu Sheng also affirmed the pioneering spirit of Nuyan Games.

   For a while, the two had a heated chat.

   Didn't notice the little Nezha mascot at the farthest end, he was so bored that he wanted to die.

  ah... what are they talking about... Lao Gu Lao Gu, hurry up and play with me... there is no end...

  Let's just make a cooking game. You can chat about hammers with serious participating manufacturers...

  Little Nezha looked left for a while, looked right for a while, clasped his fingers for a while, and stretched the corner of Gu Sheng's clothes for a while, it was extremely boring.

   And at this moment!

   "Hello? Mr. Shen? I'm Tian Tian, ​​a reporter from Tian Tian You Bao. May I interrupt you for a two-minute interview?"

  A voice sounded beside him.

  Shen Miaomiao turned her head to look, and saw Tian Tian bowed and stood beside her, reaching out her hand.

  Finally someone is willing to talk to me woo woo woo...

  Shen Miaomiao was almost moved to tears, she hurriedly stood up and shook hands with Tian Tian: "Oh, yes."

   Seeing a familiar figure appear, the barrage burst into cheers—

  'Wuhu! Mr. lotus root! '

  'Mr. Ou's hairstyle is very conservative today'

  'Hahahahaha, you can't have Xiaoxiangfeng's suit with two meatball heads, that's too weird'

  'It's okay'

  'Lotus root is always cute'

   "Thank you Mr. Shen,"

   Tian Tian smiled:

   "I noticed that this time our Golden Wind participated in a medium-sized game track, right? So can you tell me a little bit about the investment amount of our Golden Wind's participating works this time?"

   "Yes, hehe,"

  Shen Miaomiao chuckled and nodded:

   "As we all know, our Golden Wind is still just a start-up game company. It is a bit difficult to imagine that it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars like other large game companies,"

   "So this time, with an investment of 50 million, we will stick to the standard line and enter the medium-sized game track."

   "Oh—that's pretty good too,"

  Smile of approval every day:

   "After all, the Golden Wind has been established for a short time, and now it is already a legend in the industry to be able to enter the Asian Games. I believe that in the future, the Golden Wind will continue to triumph all the way."

  The corners of Shen Miaomiao's mouth twitched, and she smiled a little forcedly: "Hehe, I would like to borrow your good words."

   Didn't notice Shen Miaomiao's unnatural expression, and continued to ask every day: "We all know that under the leadership of you and Director Gu, Golden Wind has been conquering the market with creativity and attracting the love of countless players,"

   "So this time, what kind of game will our Golden Wind bring to you players?"

   Speaking of which!

   Shen Miaomiao's eyes lit up involuntarily!

   If you want to say this, I won't be sleepy!

   "What we brought this time is a...um..."

  Shen Miaomiao considered her words in her heart.

   After all, she has never read Gu Sheng's draft plan, and she doesn't know what the core of this game is.

  But she couldn't say directly in front of the media reporters, 'The work we brought this time is a sand sculpture game that allows players to act as cooks and compete in cooking'.

  So!

  The quick-witted Shen Miaomiao had an idea and changed the phrase:

   "It's an...innovative work that can satisfy the taste buds of all players! And the appearance of this game will definitely bring a gluttonous feast to the game circle!"

   Let's cook and stir-fry!

   Isn't it just to satisfy the taste buds of all players and bring a table full of Han Chinese to the game circle!

   And it's [True Man-Han Banquet] (Physical).

   Whoo—! !

   As soon as this remark comes out!

   Every day, I can't help but shake my delicate body!

   Sounds awesome!

  Could it be that this time, the golden wind held back another big move?

However!

   Before she could continue asking questions.

   On the stage, the voice of the host sounded:

   "Ladies and gentlemen, representatives of manufacturers and outstanding designers, friends from the media, guests,"

   "Please take your seats in an orderly manner,"

   "Our conference is about to start..."

  Hearing this, even though there are still countless questions in my heart, Tiantian can only let it go for now:

   "Okay, thank you Mr. Shen, then my interview here will end here first, and I am very much looking forward to the official announcement of our Golden Wind game in the introduction session."

  The two shook hands again to signify that the interview came to an end.

  Shen Miaomiao sat down again, secretly smiling.

   Wait for the introduction, and I'm waiting too.

   It's not how much I look forward to this game.

   After all, it's just a cooking game, no matter how fancy it is, it's just like a little master, letting the dishes shine.

  She was just looking forward to the expressions of the friends and merchants present after the game was announced.

  I believe that everyone here, after seeing such a work of Wolong appearing in this majestic Asian Games, the astonished and surprised expressions on their faces must be very exciting!

  Thinking, the lights in the venue gradually dimmed.

  The 6th Asian E-sports Game Developers Conference officially opened amidst warm applause!

  First of all, Jiang Yingcai, as the representative of the organizing committee, gave a speech on stage.

After that, the manufacturer representatives who won the Crown Award last time also took the stage to give a speech, and will represent the Golden Crown of the "Asia's Best E-sports Game Crown Award", and the "Asia's Best E-sports Game Designer Award" The golden scepter was returned to the organizing committee.

   This is a tradition of the Asian Games.

  The golden crown and golden scepter are not permanent.

The award-winning developer can only hold it for four years, and after four years, the organizing committee will produce a 1:1 replica of the crown and scepter, and present it to the winning manufacturer as a souvenir, while the original crown and scepter, shall be returned to the organizing committee.

   After the handover ceremony is over, it will be the "game introduction session" that media players are most looking forward to.

  According to the regulations of the organizing committee, in the following time, the ten games that have the right to participate in the crown competition will be displayed on the stage in turn.

  The representative of the designer or manufacturer will introduce the investment amount of his work, the type of game and the general gameplay of the game.

   It is a kind of advance announcement.

   Afterwards, 200 game media and 500 invited guests will vote on the spot for the [Most Anticipated Game Award] through secret ballots to participate in the closing ceremony.

  After the host introduces the rules!

  A round of applause!

   Next!

  Major manufacturers introduced on stage one by one.

  Since it is an e-sports game conference, the types of games are nothing more than shooting, racing, sports, MOBA and chess and cards.

   Among the games on stage, the one that attracted the most applause from the audience was the FPS game—Descendants of Lieyang—produced by Park Dongwang, the head designer of Jintuo Game Company, from the Goryeo section.

   This is a multiplayer battle design game with the theme of modern warfare.

   What amazes players and the media the most is its so-called "arms race" mode in which 20 players fight each other.

  In the game, players fight on their own, and you can gain experience points by killing other players.

  But after the experience points are enough to upgrade, what awaits the players will no longer be an upgrade, but a weapon downgrade.

  Every time you upgrade, the weapon in your hand will drop by one level, from the very beginning of an assault rifle, to a submachine gun, to a sniper rifle, and finally a pistol or even a knife!

  Every upgrade is a test of the player's skills.

   In the end, the first player to kill with a knife will win the crown and win the game!

   Such a novel and interesting setting, once released, caused heated discussions among almost all players present!

  For a while, the whispers in the venue, the whispers of media players and even manufacturer representatives were novel and surprising——
