Restart the Gaming Era

Biquge www.xbiquge.tw, the fastest update to restart the game era!

According to the guidance, they came to the No. 3 activity center of Guanghua Art Academy. Some college student volunteers were doing the guiding work, leading Zhong Ming and Zhou Sen to sit down in their respective seats.

The venue is not good, but it is okay. After all, there are no audiences and no live broadcast. Strictly speaking, this is a large-scale interview, and it doesn't need a very good venue.

Zhong Ming unscrewed the bottled water prepared by the organizer and drank a couple of sips, then took a little look at the name tags on the judging booth.

The judges hadn't arrived yet, but the signs must have been set up long ago. Zhong Ming opened his bracelet and searched a bit.

"Senior game producer of Xinghua Interactive Entertainment."

"Professor of the Fine Arts Department of Guanghua Academy of Arts."

"Member of the Calligraphy Association."

"Senior art director."

...

There are a total of six judges, each of whom is not small.

Of course, this is not the highest level of judging in this competition. After all, this is only the first phase of the questioning session, which belongs to small troubles. Really outstanding works may not need to go through this link. Naturally, the most powerful judges will There is no need to show up at this stage.

Of course, senior game producers, professors of the art department, and members of the Calligraphy Association are also quite important.

Zhong Ming looked at the other contestants. Like him, these people only submitted design concept drafts and did not submit game demos.

There are many very young faces here, even college students at first glance, probably from the campus group.

This competition is divided into two groups, namely the campus group and the professional group. The prize money for the campus group is much less, and the first place is only 400,000. After all, the college students in the school make their own independent games, and the level is definitely the same as that of professional designers. No comparison.

However, for many college students who hope to enter the game industry, if they can win an award in this competition, it will add a very glorious stroke to their resume.

Zhong Ming remembered that there was a similar competition last year, but he hadn't traveled through time at that time, so naturally he didn't participate.

Soon, the questioning began.

Because there is no audience, the process is relatively random, that is, one by one according to the entry number, they will go to the stage to explain their games, and then accept the questions from the judges. After the questions are over, the judges will decide whether the game can enter the next stage.

This review did not separate the professional group from the campus group, but when speaking on stage, they usually introduce themselves. If they are contestants in the campus group, the judges will automatically lower their standards.

Soon, the contestants came to the stage one by one.

When stepping down, some were ecstatic, some were downcast, and some looked calm...

As for the reasons for elimination, there are also various reasons.

Some are because the design concept draft has been singled out for many details errors, and the reviewers think that the person who wrote this design draft may not be able to design all aspects of the entire game perfectly.

Some are because they were asked some technical questions and did not answer them.

There are also some, maybe because the gameplay is too old-fashioned, the art level is too horrible, and so on.

In short, among the group of people who received the questioning, most of the works themselves were not good, and they came to the competition with the mentality of focusing on participation, and it was a matter of course that they were rejected.

It was okay at first, but after more than half an hour, it was obvious that two or three judges were very impatient.

Especially the member of the Calligraphy Association, the lecturer of Guanghua Academy of Art, an uncle in his forties named Jin Xi, who has already yawned several times.

There's no other way. In fact, he came here to make up the numbers.

After all, this competition is called the Game Art Concept Competition, and the key word in it is "art".

However, it is also true that calligraphy is not very useful in games.

Jin Xi is also a game lover, otherwise she would not come to this competition to be a judge, but the key is that it is the primary election, and it is still the poorer group in the primary election. The painting style is messy, and it really makes people unable to lift their spirits.

Another set of reviews is completed, with a ten-minute break.

The judges were also quite tired, and each unscrewed the bottled water to drink a few sips and chat for a while.

Next to him, Du Mingxian, a professor of fine arts at Guanghua Academy of Arts, looked at the sleepy Jin Xi, and joked, "Old Jin, you're in a bit of a bad mood today, show off the vigor you used to scold students in class?"

Jin Xi took a sip of water: "Hey, I can't take it out. I really don't have the qualifications to scold these entries, it's so boring."

Du Mingxian smiled and said: "I see, you want to scold, but you don't know how to scold. After all, these works have little to do with your major. If there is a game related to calligraphy, then you will definitely be refreshed."

"No, it's better not to have any. Don't ruin calligraphy." Jin Xi waved his hand, "Calligraphy, how can you make a game? It's a relatively niche category."

Du Mingxian said: "Calligraphy is not considered a minority."

"Hey, it's a minority now. With the development of technology and the integration of Eastern and Western cultures, you can see how many people still write with a pen seriously."

The two chatted casually for a few words, and the questioning continued.

Those contestants who have been questioned have either been rejected or passed. In short, all of them have left the stage, and only a few need to be determined and are still waiting for the final result, so there are more and more people sitting in the audience. less and less.

Zhong Ming and Zhou Sen had been waiting so hard, but there was nothing they could do. Who made Zhong Ming sign up late? The number is ranked at the back.

Finally, it was Zhong Ming's turn to take the stage.

Several judges didn't pay much attention, after all, the entire questioning was coming to the final stage, and there were not many people in the audience. After asking so many questions, most of the judges were dry mouthed.

Zhong Ming was very calm, his design concept draft was projected on the projection screen next to him, and Zhong Ming began to explain.

"The name of my entry game is "Ink Painting Cloud Mist"."

Jin Xi was taken aback: "Shui Mo Yun Yan? This name sounds quite ancient."

Zhong Ming nodded: "That's right, it comes from a Song Dynasty poem "Ti Xiu Ye Tang".

Jin Xi was instantly refreshed and became interested: "Then, according to what you mean, the painting style of this game is probably the traditional Chinese ink painting style?"

"Yes, it's the traditional ink style, but it also incorporates some more modern game original painting techniques, which are more suitable for games while retaining the charm of the ink style." Zhong Ming paused, and continued, "Besides, this There are not only ink paintings in this game, but also calligraphy elements."

Jin Xi froze for a moment, but she was not as surprised as before.

It's not that he doesn't like calligraphy. He belongs to the Calligraphy Association. Can he not like calligraphy?

He was afraid that Zhong Ming was forcibly adding calligraphy to it, which might ruin an already good game!

Of course, the design concept draft has not been finished yet, and it is too early to interrupt.

Jin Xi raised her hand: "Okay, you continue."

Du Mingxian next to him was silently sweating for Zhong Ming.

You said that what you do is not good, you have to add calligraphy elements to the game!

Lao Jin is a rather picky person, it’s okay if you make some mistakes in other places, and Lao Jin won’t be too fussy, but if you have any flaws in calligraphy, Lao Jin will definitely not show mercy... …

Maybe it will make Lao Jin feel that you are sensationalizing and showing off, which will be counterproductive.
