National Game Producer

093 'Word Game'

The game "Separating the Herd" is, simply put, an upgraded version of the problem of using a boat to carry sheep and wolves across the river in elementary school.

The gameplay of the game is to send the designated sheep to the designated location when the boat's load is limited, thereby completing the current level.

During the game, players cannot let the number of sheep decrease, otherwise they will have to challenge again.

As the game levels continue to advance, the difficulty of the game will become higher and higher, and later there will even be a chaotic situation where multiple boats and multiple animals gather in one level at the same time.

All in all, this is a very creative and brain-burning puzzle game.

The competition students in the audience, even if they were just watching from a distance, were already subconsciously immersed in the puzzles of the game, and they wished they could rush to the stage immediately to help the slow judges complete the game.

…

Among the competition teams in Shendong City.

The thin boy wearing glasses looked at the game screen on the big screen and was stunned for a long time.

"This game looks really simple, but it's also really fun... Especially for students who like to solve puzzles, it's really attractive." The mellow boy on the side said with emotion.

"This should be considered a creative game that has never appeared on the market, right?" the skinny boy murmured.

"Well, although it's not as shocking as the new type of game 'Firebringer', it is indeed a very innovative and creative game." The mellow boy nodded and replied.

"It can't be compared..."

The skinny boy sighed, "To be able to extend a simple elementary school calculation problem into such a game, these people from Pingbei No. 3 Middle School are really..."

"Then we can only take second place?" The mellow boy turned to look at him.

"There is no way, why can't we come up with such a game?" the skinny boy said helplessly.

…

"How do you feel?" Yu Suai asked He Ji beside him.

"Okay."

While eating the biscuits provided by the official, He Xu commented, "It's just that the difficulty setting of the game is a little unreasonable. With the difficulty we see now, some people who are not smart enough may not be able to pass a few levels at all...

"Well... they should set up several limited tasks of increasing difficulty for each level, and then change the conditions for passing the level to be completed by completing the lowest difficulty limited task; and for the highest difficulty limited task, just change

It requires the most extreme algorithm to complete.

“In order to distinguish players who clear the level at different difficulties, they can award one collection star to the player who cleared the level on the lowest difficulty level, and three collection stars to the player who cleared the level on the highest level of difficulty.

"In this way, whether you are a fool with insufficient brains or a smart person with sufficient brains, you can get fun and a sense of accomplishment from this game."

"..."

Yu Suai pursed her lips and was silent for a moment, and finally scratched her head in distress, "When you said that, I suddenly felt that the game they made didn't seem very fun anymore..."

"Take your time and give them some time to grow."

He Xu chuckled and said, "We always need to explore the small skills and details of making good games step by step."

"Then how can you figure it out so quickly?" Yu Suai tilted her head to look at him.

"Because behind me, there are countless powerful game producers." He Jiu said truthfully.

"What nonsense..." Yu Suai wrinkled her nose and didn't ask any more questions. She turned around and continued to look at the big screen.

…

Fifteen minutes later.

The game trial has come to an end.

Du Rongshan took off his VR glasses first and turned to look at the others.

The remaining two judges are still fighting in the world of "Separating the Flock".

As for the chief judge Zhou Kaiyuan...he has also taken off his VR glasses.

Du Rongshan was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but moved closer to him, and asked in a low voice:

"how do you feel?"

Zhou Kaiyuan, whose temples were slightly white and there were some wrinkles on his face, glanced at him and said calmly:

"Although I didn't participate in the Pingbei City competition, I have tried out the first-place work in the competition."

"..."

Du Rongshan's expression was slightly dull, and he instantly understood what he meant, "The first place in the competition was the team from Pingbei No. 3 Middle School, and the game they made at that time was actually similar to this time's "Separation of the Herds"?"

"The games are different, but the idea is the same."

Zhou Kaiyuan tapped the tabletop in front of him with his fingers, "Their creativity is enough, and the game is also to my liking, but I always feel that something is missing... Well, I have to observe more."

Du Rongshan's heart sank, and then asked:

"Are you going to add points or deduct points?"

"You guys go and score first."

Zhou Kaiyuan waved his hand and turned to look at the competition students in the audience, "I have to think about it again..."

Du Rongshan silently returned to his seat.

It seems that this "Separating the Flock" also failed to impress the other party.

...if you think about it carefully.

This game is creative, but it is still within the cognitive scope of most people. It cannot bring a full shock effect to people. At most, it can only make people excited for a while.

so……

After all, is there still no way to use this national competition to change the opponent's mind?

Du Rongshan's mood hit rock bottom.

…

five minutes later.

The trial of "Separating the Flock" is over.

The three reviewers gave it an average score of 9.0.

Zhou Kaiyuan thought for a moment and deducted 0.1 points from the game.

Then, as usual, he gave the reason for deducting points:

"Every aspect is pretty good, but in every aspect it fails to make a breakthrough based on the provincial competition game... My score in my mind is between 8.4 and 8.5. Since there is really nothing wrong with the game, I just

A little less deduction.”

After hearing his comments, the competition students in the audience were numb.

Do you even have to deduct points for a game like this?

The personal rating is only between 8.4 and 8.5?

So, is it impossible to break through 8.5 points after all?

Although there are still four games left to be displayed, the competition students no longer have any expectations.

Even the first-place entry in the Pingbei City competition failed to impress the chief judge on the stage. Who else can we rely on?

The first place in the competition in Shendong City?

No matter how good this team's work is, it can only be 50-50 equal to "Separating the Herd", right?

This national competition is over...

At this moment, the seventh game was displayed on the big screen.
