This game is awesome

"pain."

Gu Qingshi blew it for her, and when Gu Qingzhi wasn't paying attention, she played it again.

"Does it still hurt?"

"pain."

Gu Qingshi nodded and played it again.

"Still scared?"

"pain."

Li Xiaomeng came over to take a look and asked, "Is this child's brain okay?"

.......

Inside the venue, several judges took their seats. The host coughed twice while holding the microphone, indicating that something important was about to happen.

The audience stopped what they were doing and looked at the host at the same time.

"Honggang quality is as solid as a rock! Thank you Honggang Technology for your strong support for this competition!"

Wow, it’s a big deal.

"Okay, now we will enter the 13th judging session of the semi-finals of the North China Division of this year's Binary Competition!"

“Please open the table, take out the Acer KS330 gaming laptop, and open the Binary Contest game library. In the next 150 minutes, each viewer can freely try out these ten games and choose whether to give a [recommendation vote].”

"Each player has only three recommendation votes, and each game can only cast one vote, and the vote cannot be canceled or invalidated. In addition, when the play time of a game reaches 20 minutes, the recommendation votes will be doubled. After the time is up, we will count the total number of recommendation votes for each game and include it in the national and regional rankings of the Binary Competition."

Although the binary competition has judges, it also attaches great importance to market feedback.

For participating games, if one of these two items is not up to standard, it cannot be included in the national rankings. In other words, this game will only be able to get the provincial award and will not be able to win the national award.

Now the detailed information of national and regional rankings are displayed on the home page of the laptop.

Up to now, the game that ranks highest in the North China Division rankings is a game that focuses on breaking the "fourth wall", also known as a "meta" game. The judges scored it 9.6 points, but the number of recommended votes was very small, with only 1554 votes, 300 votes less than the second place.

This is the kind of game that is well-received but not popular. Also at the top of the Southwest Division rankings is another game that was rated 8.4 by the judges and received 2108 recommendation votes.

The latter is a placement and idle game a bit like "Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains" or "The King of Salted Fish". The numerical growth is quite market-friendly, so it also won the audience's recommendation votes.

But unfortunately, these niche games cannot make it to the national rankings. Or even if they do, they cannot compete with the monsters on the national rankings.

Gu Qingshi accidentally glanced at the current number one on the national list, which was a work from the East China region.

Rating 9.5, recommendation votes 2319, so terrifying.

Gu Qingshi whispered the name of the game.

"Strange Stories from the Mountains and Seas, Lin Xinran?"

Chapter 208 [Kingdom Defense]

The host is explaining the game to warm up the audience.

Several people on the judges' panel were communicating with each other.

As a scorer, two and a half hours is a bit tight for players.

The playable time for each of these 10 games is more than 30 minutes. Normal players may need at least 5 hours to review each game one by one.

But it’s different for the judges. Each judge has a unique understanding of game design. For a 30-hour game, professionals can understand the design ideas after watching the first third.

And a 30-minute game with 15 minutes of play time...

Time is even tighter for the judges!

It is necessary for a game to show all its essence in the first two hours to provide players with sufficient attraction and anticipation.

A 30-minute game must have a higher information density. Designers will rack their brains to cram the best into these minutes to attract audiences and judges!

Therefore, designers must not only consider the fun of the game content, but also work hard on the game's introduction and name to ensure that it is more "eye-catching" than other players.

Geng Sanqiang also knew this, so he didn't pay any attention to those fancy names, but just opened the first game.

The name of this game is "Taklinda's Adventure". It is a relatively retro pixel RPG. The art design is very interesting, and it is obviously trying to create a retro style + retro gameplay.

But the gameplay of this game does not deviate from the framework of the old-fashioned JRPG, and the plot design is not up to standard - the pace is too slow.

Especially the last point. Knowing that the judges had limited time, the film still arrogantly used lengthy foreshadowing and introduction to introduce the plot. More than ten minutes passed and the main story still did not appear, which gave a strong sense of being overambitious.

It's a matter of attitude.

Geng Sanqiang played the game for less than 15 minutes before he shook his head and casually gave "The Adventure of Taklinda" a score of 7.

His shaking head was projected on the big screen and was instantly seen by the contestants in the creator's seat.

Although they could only see the back of the notebook and had no idea which game Geng Sanqiang was playing, some contestants still panicked.

Even if others have a bad start, it is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will feel grief!

And who knows if this game was made by their own team!

A group of people sat in their seats anxiously waiting for the judgment of fate.

As the saying goes, do your best and leave the rest to fate. There is no point in thinking about it now.

Including Gu Qingzhi, she was also a little scared, and her little hands restlessly grabbed the edge of her skirt and rubbed it.

Next to him, Li Xiaomeng was sleeping soundly on Gu Qingshi's lap.

The creator seats are different from the audience seats. The organizer does not provide any equipment at all. Li Xiaomeng felt sleepy after browsing his phone for a while. He lay on Gu Qingshi's lap and his eyelids began to droop after a while.

Gu Qingzhi subconsciously ignored Li Xiaomeng and asked nervously, "Senior, that can't be our game, right?"

Gu Qingshi was also very sleepy. She barely raised her eyelids and took a look, and found that it was an acquaintance.

Geng Sanqiang is quite familiar with Xu Qiusheng. When Fanxing was developing Baldur's Gate, Geng Sanqiang came to congratulate Baldur's Gate and Xu Qiusheng on their successful start.

Gu Qingshi also recognized Hua Wenzong who was standing next to him.

Editor-in-Chief Hua and NGI's Editor-in-Chief Lin are good friends. When Gu Qingshi contacted the Imperial Capital Copyright Bureau to launch an iron fist attack on Qingyun, the video creator who brainlessly plagiarized "The Rat in the Wall", she borrowed Hua Wenzong's connections.

Seeing this, Gu Qingshi felt relieved, yawned, and her body swayed.

"Have some confidence in yourself, don't be so easily startled... Let me lean on your shoulder for a while..."

Gu Qingshi leaned on the girl's shoulder and was about to fall asleep.

The contestants nearby were all extremely nervous. When they suddenly saw this scene, they instantly felt that the atmosphere was a little subtle.

........

In the audience seats in the distance, a couple opened their laptops, and they were affectionate with each other for a while, showing off their love to the single guys next to them, and then they started playing the game.

The screen first lit up with an advertisement that read "Sponsored by Honggang Technology" before officially entering the game page.

Considering that his girlfriend is a girl, the boy considerately chose a game with a very cartoon style.

The name is similar to a game that kids in kindergarten play, like "Kingdom Rush". Anyway, it's easy to understand.

As soon as she entered the game, the girl was amused by the picture and started giggling while staring at the screen.

"This is obviously a game for children, and I'm not a child! Just play what you like."

"It's all open, let's just give it a try."

The boy smiled understandingly.

In secret, the boys couldn't help but complain: You say you don't want to play, but your eyes are honestly staring at the screen. What's that? I'm afraid that if I change to someone I like and you don't like, it will mean that I don't have you in my heart...

The UI of the game screen is simple and easy to understand, with only four buttons: "Start", "Options", "Thanks List" and "Exit", which are clear at a glance.

The boy clicked start, created a new save file and entered the game, uttering an "eh".

“This picture is quite interesting.”

The painting style is still very cartoon-like, with jungles, hills and towns on the left, a big snowy mountain in the middle, and deserts, lava volcanoes and swampy black forests with green bubbles on the right. These places are all connected by a winding path.

It tells players very directly what maps the game has.

The boy himself is also a major in electronic games, and he can tell at a glance that the map design has some level.

The girl next to her urged, "Don't just look at the map, try it quickly!"

"I'll try it right away, sister, please forgive me."

The boy raised his hands in surrender and immediately clicked on the small flag of the first level to enter the game.

There was a series of instructions before entering the game. After reading two pages, the boy understood something: this was probably a tower defense game.

Although he understood it very well, the boy still turned the pages slowly and patiently until his girlfriend started to urge him to speed up.

When the game started, he placed an archer tower according to the tutorial, and then clicked on the skull head at the end of the path, and the first wave of enemies officially arrived.

Several goblins holding green sticks appeared at the end of the road. They walked to a position a little away from the archer tower. The archer drew his bow and shot many arrows, knocking the goblins to the ground.

The scene was quite cartoon-like, and when the goblin died, it fell to the ground, leaving behind ketchup. This made the boy feel a little relieved.

He once taught his girlfriend how to play Battlefield, and the girl almost kicked his computer away out of nervousness.

The girl looked at it carefully for a while and found it quite interesting.

So she poked the boy's shoulder and said, "This game looks pretty simple. I want to play it too!"

Chapter 209 [Failed RTS and Successful MOBA]

"The barracks is interesting. This hero unit is also well done..."

Geng Sanqiang nodded frequently in front of the computer, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.

There are many good things coming out of binary this year.

On the screen, a knight in heavy silver armor with a sword and shield quickly eliminated the goblins like chopping melons and vegetables.

The barracks next to them had already been built, intercepting a large number of goblins and orcs, and several artillery towers were bombarding them indiscriminately.

In this level, Geng Sanqiang missed several monsters, resulting in only one star.

Returning to the page for selecting levels on the big map, this veteran gamer seemed to be thinking about something.
