Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

This annual game selection event is led by the Game Committee.

The location is on the second floor of the Imperial City Convention Center Exhibition Hall.

The game committee has also specially prepared the accommodation in the hotel in advance.

The first two days were mainly about exchange activities in an industry.

Of course, the focus of more game designers is actually on who will win the best game of the year.

Compared with previous annual game selections, there is actually not much concern about who can win.

The main reason is that the gold content is not that heavy.

Secondly, there is basically no big difference between winning a prize and not winning a prize, as far as the game itself is concerned.

Because players simply don’t understand what this award is.

No heat at all.

Therefore, most game designers, except for some independent game designers, will look forward to such an award.

Most first-line game designers and game manufacturers actually don't value it very much.

Because it really feels a bit tasteless.

It is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

However, this year the Game Committee has undergone drastic reforms, and the annual game selection event held is different.

There is no such thing as a PC platform or a VR platform. In addition, the entire process is broadcast live and includes promotion from all parties.

It directly makes this year's award selection more authoritative and valuable, and the attention suddenly increases.

The focus of everyone's attention is naturally focused on the topic of who will win the annual game.

If it were in previous years, then the annual game on the PC platform would basically be chosen between"Dark Soul" and"League of Legends", two games developed by Chen Xu.

After all, on the PC platform, these two phenomenal games were released this year.

But this year it’s different according to one rule.

Because VR platforms will also participate.

Although on the PC platform, Tenghua, Yilong and Interactive Entertainment were directly defeated by"League of Legends" and"Dark Soul".

Coupled with Chen Xu's continuous efforts, his Fengyun gaming platform has directly harvested a large number of users on PC platforms from several channels.

A trend of conflict has emerged.

But in terms of VR, Chen Xu and Fengyun Games have not yet entered it.

At present, Fengyun Games’ core base is still on the PC platform.

And in VR.

Interactive entertainment mainly distributes and distributes overseas VR masterpieces.

My own self-research ability is incomparable to Tenghua and Yilong.

This time I just came to run with him to make some fun.

Tenghua said that there will be an ARPG masterpiece"Legend" on the VR platform this year.

In the game, players will play the role of a person with only divine blood left in the world, and explore the truth behind the disappearance of the ancient gods.

The main selling point of this game is the extremely spectacular scene under the VR platform.

There are also various scenes, including myths and stories from all over the world, all presented in it.

Of course, it also has quite a shortcoming, that is, the difficulty of the game is mainly driven by numerical values.

So in the second half of the journey, a large number of players will feel bored.

Moreover, the plot content of the main plot is also remarkable, and it can be said to be a strong competitor for the game of the year.

The other one is"Sin City", a sandbox action-adventure VR game developed by Yilong.

This game is actually an old IP game owned by Yilong. This year, Yilong directly took it out and carried out most of the drastic remakes.

However, its quality is quite good and it is not the type that sells feelings.

The game is an alternate historical background. Players will play the role of a gang member named Li Kema and experience a series of stories in a sandbox city.

The biggest selling point, apart from the plot of the game, is that the game is filled with various mini-games.

It allows players to fully feel the life of that city.

In Chen Xu's opinion, although this game is a sandbox game, it has a bit of an open world feel.

As for the shortcomings, it is that no breakthrough reforms have been made.

The main core gameplay still revolves around the previous game.

However, this game is also recognized by the industry as a contender for the best game of the year.

As for some games from other manufacturers, they may be excellent in some aspects, but they still fall short of qualifications in the annual game competition.

Basically, it is used as a companion mode.

As for the rest, it is naturally"Dark Soul" which Chen Xu has just produced and launched recently.

Previously its main competitor was League of Legends.

But in fact, most game designers are still not optimistic that"League of Legends" can win the game of the year.

Because this is a competitive multiplayer game, even if it is popular all over the world, one thing has to be admitted.

That is the current"League of Legends", which does not have much connotative content.

Even though the characteristics of each hero in the game are very distinct, the background of the entire game includes Aioria, Demacia, etc.

Fengyun Games is currently also slowly improving the background.

But in terms of depth and content, it lacks some flavor.

But its popularity and innovative MOBA gameplay are enough reasons for it to become the game of the year.

Another game,"Dark Soul" by Chen Xu, is also quite competitive.

The exquisite map design, the huge background world view, and the story full of connotations have also made"Dark Soul" a competitive point for the game of the year.

If there weren't two VR games, many game designers think that this year's game of the year should be Chen Xu's left hand playing right hand.

But now, there is still some suspense.

Because of a feature of the VR platform itself, it can actually add points to the game.

For example, in adventure games, the effect displayed on the PC platform is the same as that on the VR platform. The latter definitely brings a more shocking visual experience to players.

There is no doubt about this.

But no matter what, who will win the Game of the Year award can only be known when the awards are presented.
