Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

"Game Making: Starting with Healing the Player ()"

The news about the acquisition of Galaxy Smart Technology by Nebula Games has not caused any waves in the game circle.

For ordinary players, it can be said that they do not pay attention to this at all.

After all, acquiring a company is not a new game.

As for the game industry, it's more or less a feeling of Nebula's handwriting.

It's not uncommon to acquire studios, or whatever.

Moreover, although the company "Galaxy Intelligent Technology" has a little reputation, it is still unfamiliar to most people except in the circle of intelligent AI research.

Therefore, the employees who responded the most to this acquisition were the employees of Nebula Games.

During the lunch break, in Nebula Games, employees of various departments chatted with each other with surprised expressions.

Everyone was surprised by the company's actions.

They actually bought a company?

This volume suddenly grew again! ?

For example, Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue knew that there was a big move this time. After all, Chen Xu had already disclosed some relevant news to them before.

It's just that they didn't know that this big move turned out to be a huge acquisition of a company.

On the contrary, Qin Yi and many people in the development team were very excited.

Obviously, they have begun to fantasize about how to perform AI performance in games in the future.

For the game, the improvement of technology can completely bring players a better experience.

"If AI intelligence is introduced into "Dark Soul", combined with the random mode, I don't know what kind of scene it will be!" Qin Yi, sitting on the sofa, looked at the picture of Dark Soul on the screen next to him, and was already looking forward to it. .

"Be a person!" Ruan Ningxue, who was on the side, complained when she heard Qin Yi's words.

The difficulty of “Dark Soul” itself is high enough, and after the random mode is opened, many non-Emirati players generally believe that the random mode is even more difficult than the normal “Dark Soul”.

Because everything is out of your control.

Now to join AI intelligence?

Wasn't that player being hanged and beaten?

"Mr. Chen's acquisition of this company is to prepare for the future sequel of "Dark Soul"?" Yang Xin guessed while holding his chin.

This is not just her guess, but also the guess of many Black Soul players.

But the next moment a voice answered her question: "Don't think about it, it's just for the future layout. The types of projects of Nebula Games in the future must be diversified, and we also need to accumulate technology."

With a cup of coffee in hand, Chen Xu found a place to sit down.

Hearing Chen Xu's words, Ruan Ningxue and Yang Xin also nodded.

"But Mr. Chen, do you have any plans for the next period of time?" Qin Yi asked Chen Xu.

Hearing Qin Yi's words, Chen Xu shook his head: "Of course there are arrangements for new projects, but the time will definitely not catch up. This year's Spring Festival is earlier, and in a few days, I will also participate in the annual game held by the game department. Activity."

Different from the previous life, in the case of the annual game awards, there are similar events held at home and abroad.

It's just that in the parallel world, Chen Xu was invited this time, and it was the game department.

It is an official color.

And compared with previous years, this year's annual game is also slightly different.

Although it was also the annual game awards ceremony in previous years, it is said that the annual game has a greater impact on the industry.

On the player level, there are not some awards activities with a strong commercial nature that have a great impact.

Last year, Chen Xu's works were also selected.

For example, "Under the Legend" won the best independent game award, and "To the Moon" also won a best music award.

And this year is different.

The game department has reformed the awards activities, trying to let more players participate to expand their influence, and the attention is completely different from previous years.

It can be seen from the various expedition activities in the past two years.

This is also one of the reasons why NetDragon and Tenghua suddenly released two VR masterpieces this year, and they are also tit-for-tat against Maimang.

On the other hand, Yang Chen, the head of the game department on the Magic Capital side, also informed Chen Xu privately, saying that at the same time at the annual event, a certificate will be issued to designers who have been promoted to senior titles this year.

So Chen Xu couldn't not go.

In this way, Chen Xu can be said to be very busy during this period of time, at least not much time to develop new works a few years ago.

After listening to Chen Xu's words, Qin Yi, Yang Xin, Ruan Ningxue and others were very excited.

Obviously, they also know that this year's annual game activities are very important.

"Mr. Chen, do we have a chance to win the award?"

"Yeah! We have a lot of works this year, don't we? "Fucking Kitchen", "Jelly Bean Man", "Three Kingdoms", "Braveheart: World War" and "Dark Souls"!"

Several people have some expectations.

"Braveheart: The War of the Worlds will definitely have an award, as for the others." Chen Xu said with a smile.

This is almost a default unspoken rule, after all, "Braveheart: World War" won the first title of this year's anti-war expedition.

It is impossible for the game department to say that there is no way to get an award, even a consolation award.

"In addition, about the new project, I already have an idea. "Dark Soul" has abused the players, and they have a lot of opinions on me on the Internet, so I decided to make a more friendly game for the next game. When I finish participating in the activities of the game department, I will have a meeting to talk about it in detail." Chen Xu said with a smile.

Friendship again? Hearing Chen Xu's words, the expressions of Ruan Ningxue, Yang Xin and Qin Yi became subtle.

………………

On the day of the annual game selection event, the weather was not bad.

Compared with the past, this year's annual game selection, its gold content and attention can be said to be the most in history.

On the major live broadcast platforms, there are dedicated live broadcast channels to conduct live broadcasts of the entire live broadcast event.

Because of this, all invited game designers in the game industry, no matter what the reasons are, even if some people know that it is basically just a cutscene, they still come to attend this event.

On the one hand, the face of the game department needs to be given, and on the other hand, the sense of presence is also good.

Just like the Oscar party, even if it is soy sauce, it is good to be able to rub on the red carpet.

The venue for the event is located in the exhibition hall of the Magic City Convention Center.

For the hotel accommodation, the game department also specially prepared it in advance.

Compared with previous years, there are still some lectures and industry exchange activities.

This year's words are all cancelled, mainly because the theme of the event is for players.

Normal players are more concerned about what awards their favorite games have won. As for industry exchanges?

Don't care at all!

What's more, it is an industry exchange, but can the experience mentioned in the lecture be called experience?

Every game designer has a set of mature ideas and new ideas on how to design games.

But who would be foolish enough to tell others about it directly?

So some of the previous lectures are more of the same.

For ordinary game designers, it may be of great help.

But the game designers who can be directly invited to participate, not to mention the top ones.

But it is also the backbone of the industry, and these things have no nutrition at all.

It's just a walkthrough.

Therefore, the game department also simply canceled this link, leaving only the awarding link, which is what players are most looking forward to.

Before the event started, Chen Xu took his pass and entered from the door.

There are many designers at the event site.

But basically divided into several factions.

Tenghua, NetDragon... and some game designers from second- and third-tier game manufacturers, as well as some well-known game designers.

Compared with the fact that designers of Tenghua and NetDragon do not deal with each other, the relationship between ordinary game designers is relatively purer.

"This year's best game of the year doesn't know who's going to be!"

"I feel that the 'Star God' on NetDragon has a lot of hope."

"Not necessarily, the 'Sin City' on Tenghua's side is also doing well!"

"Speaking of which, no one of you said "Dark Soul", I feel that Dark Soul is definitely the top level."

"Cough, I don't dare to discuss it if the research is not deep."

"No, I haven't even been in an underground prison now."

"Although it is excellent, it still feels that the platform is too disadvantaged. If "Dark Souls" is VR, I think it is a favorite to win the championship, but compared with VR, the PC platform is still too disadvantaged, especially in this kind of award selection."

"Yeah, alas...is that Chen Xu?"

"Like, it really is!"

"Come on, let's say hi together."

Inside a corner of the hall.

A group of independent game designers and game designers who are acquainted with second- and third-tier manufacturers gathered to discuss this event.

Several people were game designers who had a relationship with Chen Xu at the previous exhibition held by the game department.

Later, Chen Xu also joined one of their designer exchange discussion groups.

But this time only a few people were invited.

As soon as Chen Xu entered the venue, he didn't have time to observe a situation when he heard someone calling him from behind.

Turning his head to look, they are all acquaintances.

"Everyone is here?" Chen Xu looked at the crowd and greeted them with a smile.

"I was lucky enough to be invited to come and meet the world." One of them said with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, your "Dark Soul" this year really taught designers in the industry a lesson!"

"Look at what you said, did Mr. Chen have no class last year? How many people's attention has been stunned by a "Under the Legend"?"

Everyone started a business model.

"Okay, okay, let's find a place to talk, just don't get in the way." Chen Xu looked at the crowd and said happily.

Several people walked towards the interior while chatting.

A few people found a place to continue chatting, and some other game designers noticed Chen Xu in the middle. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com came over to exchange contact information, and even greeted him with a familiar face.

It's night time soon.

It is also the highlight of this event.

The media in various game industries have basically all been present and live synchronously.

On the barrage in the live broadcast room, many players waiting in front of the computer were discussing one after another.

'Why hasn't it started yet! ? ’

'The game department will feel that in recent years, there are more actions than ever before! ’

'Vote for the game of the year "Star God"! ’

‘Think too much, Sin City is not a vegetarian! ’

‘I don’t know if Dark Souls has a chance to win. ’

'Don't talk too much about it, where is Mr. Chen? I didn't see it! ’

'+1, I have to write down what Mr. Chen looks like, this "Dark Soul" tortured me badly! ’

Each player in the live broadcast room is gags.

At the scene, Chen Xu and other game designers also entered the venue one after another.

"Mr. Chen, what a coincidence!"

The location of the site is pre-assigned.

The game designers in the front row are basically all nominated game designers.

Chen Xu found his seat, and a familiar voice came from beside him.

"Mr. Meng met again." Seeing the other person's appearance, Chen Xu immediately had a memory.

After all, he still remembers the enthusiastic performance of the other party at the exhibition.

"Yeah!" Meng Zuo had a smile on his face, but at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Because every time I see Chen Xu, there always seems to be a little accident!

I didn't give Meng Zuo much time to struggle.

With all the game designers in, the whole awards ceremony event started.
