National Game Producer

August 15th is the opening day of the national competition.

The participating students gathered together in the competition venue.

After some routine leadership speeches, the competition officially started at two o'clock in the afternoon.

64 teams took action one after another.

After experiencing several limited-time games, He Chu and Yu Suai were already familiar with the corresponding creative process. In addition, their planning of the game itself was detailed enough. In the end, the entire production process of the two was unexpectedly smooth.

It went smoothly, with almost no interruptions.

20 hours passed quickly.

While other competition students are still working hard against the clock, He Chu and Yu Suai have polished the game to the point where it is close to a finished product.

"It seems a bit fast..."

"Well, it's indeed a bit faster."

"The main thing is that there is basically no room for me to play alone in this game. I just need to work with you to create content."

Yu Suai opened the lunch box provided by the official and prepared to have lunch. "If you had come up with this idea earlier, we wouldn't have been so tired during the provincial competition."

"If we had made this game at the provincial competition, we would have definitely switched to another game now, and the result would have been the same."

He Jiu sat next to her, opened the lunch box and started eating, "When we finish eating later, we will spend two hours polishing the game again and fixing the less important details."

"Then, hand over the finished product in advance?"

"Then let's make another game."

"???" Yu Suai looked confused.

"I have a similar idea, but the game content is in a foreign language, so the difficulty will be higher."

He Xu smiled and said, "Usually the teachers give us difficult questions. Now that we have such a rare opportunity, let's give the teachers more difficult questions."

"Foreign language...that kind of puzzle game?"

"It should be similar to you, but it may be different for the review teacher."

"Well, there are still two days left, is it too late?" Yu Suai hesitated.

"There's enough time. We only need to create puzzles for this game, and other content can basically be ignored."

After He Ji finished speaking, he raised his chin and gestured, "Eat quickly, we will start working immediately after eating."

"...have you started to want to be the boss and direct your employees to work?" Yu Suai muttered softly.

"If I were the boss, then you are also the boss's wife. How could you be an employee?" He Xu said seriously.

…

The three days of competition passed by in a blink of an eye.

Once all students' works have been submitted, the national competition will be officially over.

Next, just wait patiently for the results to be announced the next day.

It is worth mentioning that when the results were announced the next afternoon, everyone still had to gather at the venue.

Moreover, the official will not directly sort out the ranking of the top ten works at that time. Instead, these works will be taken out one by one, and the competition judges will conduct on-site trials and comments, and finally the ranking will be sorted.

In this way, the top ten teams in the competition can clearly see their shortcomings, and the remaining participating students can learn the ideas and creativity of top student producers.

This review process, which offers the best of both worlds, has been followed for a long time in previous national competitions.

Judging from the experience of previous years, the top ten teams must be mentally prepared to be criticized wildly.

——The professional teachers responsible for the review will definitely treat their works with the most severe attitude.

…

"Hey, is the game going well?"

When leaving the venue, the short-haired boy from Linhai Province took the initiative to find He Ji and the two of them and said hello with a smile.

"Well... Judging from your appearance, you should have done well, right?" He Xiu asked.

"Hey, it's almost... this is also a story and puzzle that I spent a month preparing. The overall structure should be much more complete than the game in the provincial competition."

"So, what you are making this time is still a point-and-click puzzle game?"

"His favorite game is the Painted World of Firebringer." Tang Lin walked closer and explained.

The short-haired boy shook his head when he heard this:

"That was my favorite game a month ago. Now my favorite is the "Rust Lake" series. Well... the main reason is that its plot and story are both exciting and mysterious. There are many small details related to the plot that are hidden.

It's very deep, and you'll find something new every time you play it again...

"By the way, have you ever played the "Rust Lake" series of "Firebringer"? Let me tell you..."

"Have you played it many times?" He Xu quickly interrupted him.

If you let him continue talking, it will probably be endless.

But this guy can play a point-and-click puzzle game over and over again and try to discover all the hidden details. It can be regarded as a sign of his love for games.

"Well, the main thing is that I want to learn and imitate...the two puzzle games of 'Firebringer' are so exquisite. I feel like they are enough for me to study for an entire high school." The short-haired boy nodded in response.

"Then we need to find ways to make a more interesting click-and-click puzzle game to defeat the 'Fire Bearer'?" He Xu glanced at Yu Suai beside him and asked with a chuckle.

"That's not the case." The short-haired boy shook his head, "I just want to catch up with him in the puzzle game genre, and I don't dare to think about other new types of games."

After a pause, he added, "But it should be more than enough to beat those new types of games in the national competition... For example, the producer of "Xianyou" and "Stardew Valley" feel better than

'Firebringer' is far behind."

"..."

He Jiu and the two girls looked at each other in confusion.

After a disagreement, he started belittling the producers of "Stardew Valley" again...

They wanted to see how long it would take for this guy to discover the truth.

…

the other side.

After the competition ended, the review teachers responsible for the preliminary review began to review the competition works non-stop.

The specific process is actually similar to the review process of the provincial competition.

The only difference is that after they rank the top ten in the competition, they will erase the results of the top ten works.

These ten works will be re-tested and scored at the venue by more professional judges.

While everyone was busy, Du Rongshan quietly came to the scene of the preliminary hearing.

Originally, as one of tomorrow's on-site judges, he shouldn't have appeared here.

But he was really unwilling to do so.

He wanted to come over in advance to see if there was any team with a new type of game that had the potential to impress the chief judge Zhou Kaiyuan.

If he really couldn't find it, he would have to make other plans in advance.
