Game Design: Is it possible? CaiGou

Zero o'clock arrives.

The "Who Can Be a Multimillionaire" event, divided into divisions, has officially ended.

In these three months, we relied on the outstanding performance of the players in the Red Stone Division, Animation Division, Construction Division, and Speed ​​Pass Division.

The market share of Tianming Game Platform has grown by leaps and bounds from 30% at the beginning to 65% now.

Today, Tianming Platform has become the number one giant in the domestic gaming platform industry.

The end of the division does not mean the end of the event, but the beginning of the finals.

After an all-night discussion by the jury, combined with the votes of netizens, the voice of the audience, and the quality of the entries, the contest was comprehensively judged from multiple dimensions.

The jury finally selected the champions of the four competition areas——

Redstone Division·Mingyue Village Master·Masterpiece·Redstone Computer.

Animation Division·Knights of the Round Table·Masterpiece·Minecraft Version Three-Body Problem.

Architecture Competition Area·Jiashen Team of Steamed Dumplings·Masterpiece·Along the River During Qingming Festival.

Speedrun Division·Gao Tianyang·Masterpiece·Fixed seed speedrun record is 1 minute and 48 seconds.

The masterpieces of the champions of the four major regions are well-known in the gaming circle, and the gold content of the championship in the sub-region is also ridiculously high, and everyone is convinced.

Each champion player or team will receive a cash prize of five million. When the news of the award was announced, the entire network went crazy.

It is better to chase down the enemy with courage than to use your reputation to become the overlord. These four division champions still understand.

Therefore, during the next three weeks of the finals, the four champion contestants frantically canvassed for votes for a multi-million-dollar endorsement contract, and even released additional works of their own.

The owner of Mingyue Villa learned that Redstone players particularly liked Redstone computers, so he opened a series of cyber courses at Bizhan focusing on the production principles of Redstone computers, and invited Liuliu, a famous cyberspace master, to canvass for his votes.

The Knights of the Round Table, knowing their own strengths, produced the Minecraft version of That Rabbit. Once released, it directly dominated the charts and became another masterpiece of MC animation.

The Jia Shen team in the construction competition area was divided into two groups.

A small team studied with the Master of Mingyue Manor, teaching a series of courses on making buildings in Minecraft.

A small team gathered members of the Steamed Dumpling Cult to establish a new construction project - Map of China.

Although the Jia Shen team has a large number of people, so the five million cash prize is divided equally among everyone, which is not much, but precisely because of the large number of people, the finals are also the most prestigious.

On the contrary, Gao Tianyang in the speedrunning division is alone. Even he himself cannot break the current speedrunning record. He can only learn to walk in Handan and start classes at Bizhan to teach players the precautions for speedrunning.

Three weeks passed in the blink of an eye, and the canvassing for votes in the finals was over.

Due to the competition system, the champions of the four divisions can only know who the overall champion is this time when they go to the award ceremony and Cai Gou announces the final answer.

This time, Taipingdao has spent a lot of money.

General Tiangong not only chose the Bird's Nest as the venue for the awards ceremony.

Douyin, Douyu and other live broadcast platforms were also invited to live broadcast the entire event.

Major self-media reporters in the gaming industry were also invited to the event.

There is no shortage of contestants' entrance, red carpet, autographs, photos, interviews, flowers, and applause.

At the same time, this award ceremony also involves this year’s surprise feedback, which is the voting for game customization rights.

Therefore, as long as players have the Jiuding badge on the Taipingdao Community APP, they can receive free tickets and come to the Bird's Nest to participate in the event.

Of course, even though the Bird's Nest is very big, it can accommodate 91,000 spectators, but if the conditions are really relaxed, the venue may not be able to accommodate everyone.

Therefore, these free tickets are distributed according to time periods, with 10,000 tickets distributed every hour. Players can claim them based on their hand speed, first come first served.

There are also a thousand tickets, two hundred for each of the four champions, and two hundred for Taipingdao Company.

This event, which can be called the party of the century in the gaming circle, attracted the attention of the entire gaming circle. The four champions walked down the red carpet in sequence, followed by the runner-up, third runner-up and Eugenics Award winner in each division.

When the event officially started, performances, lights, fireworks, and all other aspects came on stage, leaving players dazzled.

After a full two hours, we finally came to the final awards ceremony.

The host shouted at the top of his lungs: "Next, let us welcome General Tiangong to the stage and announce to us who can become the winner of this multi-millionaire event and the finals!"

The scene immediately burst into warm and lasting applause, and at the same time, shouts resounded throughout the Bird's Nest.

At first, the players shouted everything, but gradually the shouts from the audience converged into one sentence——

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand! At the age of sixty, the world will be at peace!"

Cai Gou was wearing a well-tailored black suit. The coat was slightly open, revealing a white shirt collar and a delicate silver tie.

Amid the shouts of the players, Cai Gou walked to the center of the stage and stood still.

Cai Gou's standing posture is straight, his feet are naturally separated, and his left hand is casually inserted into the pocket of his suit pants, showing confidence and calmness.

His every move, as it was played on the big screen, was watched by nearly 100,000 people in the Bird's Nest and online viewers on major live broadcast platforms.

"Hello everyone, I am General Tiangong."

Cai Gou raised the microphone and said in a steady voice:

"After four months of competition, the Who Can Become a Millionaire event has finally come to an end. During these four months, I would like to thank every contestant for their efforts."

"It is because of everyone's efforts that a large number of excellent works have emerged in the four major competition areas of My World."

"It has made My World appear on Weibo hot searches many times, appeared on the evening news, and was even collected and exhibited by the Palace Museum. It has also nurtured the current game culture ecology of My World."

"But no matter how beautiful the moment is, there will always be a day to end the curtain, but I believe that this is just the end of the event, not the end of My World's charge to the limits of human imagination and creativity."

"At this moment, after the players voted and the jury strictly selected, the ranking results of the finals are already in my hands!"

There were nearly 100,000 people at the scene, and you could hear a pin drop. Everyone held their breath and waited for the final result to be announced.

Cai Gou opened the card, took a look at the result, and announced loudly:

"On behalf of Taipingdao, Tianming Platform, the organizer of the Who Can Become a Millionaire event, I announce the first Who Can Become a Millionaire competition."

"The winner of the fourth place trophy is Gao Tianyang from the Speed ​​Pass Division!"

The audience burst into warm applause.

Gao Tianyang, who was sitting in the center of the first row, was not very happy when he learned the result, but was very depressed.

The fourth place sounds good, but it actually means that he is the last in the finals.

"Huh..."

Gao Tianyang took a deep breath, regained his spirit, and walked onto the stage under the guidance of the staff. Cai Gou personally presented the fourth place trophy and gave a speech.

Afterwards, he stood beside the stage under the guidance of the staff, preparing for the next event.

Cai Gou's voice was heard from time to time, and the rankings of the champion, runner-up and third place were also revealed one by one.

"The winner of the third place trophy is the Knights of the Round Table in the animation competition area!"

"The winner of the second place trophy is the Redstone competition area - Mingyue Manor!"

"The winner of the first place trophy is the Architecture competition area - Jiashen Team!"

The representatives of the three winning teams came on stage one by one, took the heavy trophies from Cai Gou, and gave speeches one by one.

Among them, the most excited was the representative of the Jiashen team in the Architecture competition area, Su Yijun.

He was facing the microphone and the camera, holding up the trophy and the multi-million-level spokesperson contract in his hand, trembling with excitement.

He had already prepared a speech in his mind, but at this moment, Su Yijun was silent for a long time, and thousands of words converged into one sentence -

"I have no regrets in joining Taiping in this life, and I will still be a Yellow Turban Army in the next life! Thank you everyone."

Everyone in the audience understood his excitement at the moment, and even more so, they all responded with fierce applause.

Cai Gou took over the stage again and said to the four award-winning contestants standing aside:

"You four award-winning contestants, there are senior members of the Yellow Turban Army, and there are also non-Yellow Turban Army members, but you should all know one thing."

"Since the establishment of the Taipingdao Community APP, there has been a saying that whoever gets the Nine Tripod Badges will win the world."

"The reason why I keep you on the stage today is that you will start the last event of this award ceremony next-"

"Nine Tripod Badges·Game Customization Voting!"

The Bird's Nest was boiling. The audience and the water friends in the live broadcast room had been waiting for a whole night. Isn't it now?

"Woo woo woo, finally waited until today!"

"I'm looking forward to it, the highlight is coming!"

"General Tian Gong, come on!"

In the live broadcast room, the water friends' barrage rolled wildly, almost freezing the screen.

The biggest rule of this game customization right event is that there are no rules.

When the four award-winning contestants announced the start of the event and pressed the event switch together.

At the Bird's Nest, 91,000 spectators, each of them had a voting machine in their hands, and everyone could freely fill in the type of game they liked.

These data will be concentrated on the big screen and displayed in real time. The game customization type that received the most votes is the Taipingdao surprise feedback.

Satellite, Gao Tianyang and others were happy that they could participate in this activity in person. The four of them stood in one direction and pressed the button together.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Boom! Wow——"

Various fireworks flashed over the Bird's Nest, and the big screen of the stage also lit up in real time.

[Racing] [Gunfight] [Horror]

[Music] [Fishing] [Hardcore]

[Open] [Roleplay] [Meat Pigeon]

[……]

Various game types compete with each other.

In addition to game elements and the division of game types, more of the players' wild imagination is the imagination of the players——

[General Tiangong, can you make a food delivery simulator]

[Old thief, can you make a game with unlimited modules]

[Make a game where players play the role of game designers and make games]

There are more and more entries, and each entry has different numbers of players voting.

The four winning contestants also have voting devices and can participate in the voting.

Wei Xing thought for a moment and asked, "General, can we discuss the type of game?"

After Cai Gou agreed, the four of them gathered in a corner of the stage.

Wei Xing suggested, "Everyone, surprise feedback is almost every year. Why don't we give the general a surprise this time? What do you think?"

Although Gao Tianyang is a member of the Steamed Dumpling Sect and Wei Xing is a reformist, he was still the first to respond. The owner of Mingyue Manor didn't care about it at all and nodded in agreement. Su Yijun was also a senior member of the Yellow Turban Army, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

So after discussing, the four of them reached an agreement and entered the same answer in the voting machine -

[General, make any game you want to make]

Because the four are award-winning contestants, their answers will be displayed on every voting machine and will be pinned on the big screen.

These four people are the existence of the Yellow Turban Army. As soon as this answer came out, the remaining contestants who had not voted immediately voted for them.

In the live broadcast room, the water friends were crazy about the screen -

"Wei Xing, well done!"

"Hahaha, reverse surprise feedback!"

"Let him give birth! Let him give birth! Let him give birth!"

"At this time, the little ghost upstairs, be serious!"

At the Bird's Nest, Cai Gou looked at the game option [General, make any game you want to make] in surprise.

Surprises are given every year, who would have thought that the Yellow Turban Army would give themselves a surprise in return?

Every year, we complete customized games that others like, and we thought this kind of life would continue.

Today, the Yellow Turban Army collectively gave another completely different answer -

No need to accommodate us!

General, make any type of game you want.

[Emotional value +99]

[Emotional value +99]

[Emotional value +99]

The emotional value and the number of votes rose wildly.

In the end, the game option [General, make any game you want, make any game] won the first place with an overwhelming advantage.

[Emotional value +99]

[Emotional value +99]

[S-level entry treasure chest x1]

At the same time, Cai Gou also received an unexpected treasure chest reward in the atmosphere of inexplicable excitement.

"Boom!"

"Hua La La!"

At the Bird's Nest, the moment the players saw the final result, applause and cheers came one after another.

Everyone was very happy.

The reason for happiness. It's not about what game customization rights players have, or who can become a millionaire.

The reason for happiness. It's that players have proved to Cai Gou with their actual actions that there is a two-way drama between players and game designers.

The cheers and applause gradually faded away, and everyone stared at Cai Gou with their eyes wide open, like a child waiting for praise.

Cai Gou secretly reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, raised the microphone, and couldn't hide his excitement:

"You guys, you really don't mind watching the excitement."

"Such an important matter is handed over to me."

"Then I really have to do my best."

"Although I am not sure about the game type, production cycle, release date, and gameplay now."

"But you will hand this hard-won opportunity to me, and I, General Tiangong, promise you."

"This must be an unprecedented - epoch-making game!"
