Chapter 119 Huaxia Independent Game Contest - What to Play?

The caller was from the Independent Game Contest Alliance, informing Chuhe that he had been selected as one of the six judges of the Independent Game Contest.

The venue is Shanghai, which sounds like a big name, but in fact this independent game competition also has an official background.

In recent years, the development of games has been in full swing, and the government has also vigorously supported game-related industries. This independent game competition is one of them.

Most of the participants in the competition are domestic independent game developers, and the judges are people from major game companies in the industry. Wangyi and Penguin are the resident guests of this competition.

Although it has an official color, this competition has indeed done some things. At least if the contestants are really capable, it is not a problem to get some sponsors.

But the key point is that Chuhe himself is not very interested. On the one hand, he is busy with the road to survival, and on the other hand, this competition has been held for a long time. From the preliminary round of registration to the final finals, there are three days in total. schedule time.

In addition, because it is an official competition, it is basically impossible for many subjects that are more interesting in the eyes of players to be shortlisted. This is also one of the reasons why Chuhe does not want to participate.

But although he didn't want to, Chuhe still had to go through when it came to the official level, at least to show his face. Of course, there was a deeper reason besides this.

That is, the current development of Tianhe Network also needs to maintain a good relationship with its superiors. Thanks to Jianghu and Famine emerging abroad and achieving certain results, the relationship between Tianhe Network and the official level is actually quite good.

Especially in the bidding for the game version number and the review, basically as long as it does not touch the bottom line, it will be passed directly.

Game review is still very important in China. For example, if you can’t get the version number of a certain department, the game cannot have a built-in recharge and payment system. If you can’t pass the review, the game cannot be targeted to players.

For an online game of normal quality, the development cycle is usually as long as about two years, and it is not uncommon for it to cost nearly [-] million yuan.

But there are also many companies that have developed games that have never passed the review and cannot get a copyright number. In the end, they can only be remade, and then when they finally pass the review and are available to players, the popularity of this kind of game has passed.

Although there are countless online games on the market that seem to be money-making, but in fact, there are countless game projects that are still unborn without the player's knowledge.

And this time Chuhe also wanted to find out, for example, whether the road to survival could be approved in China.

If it was the original version with flesh and blood flying around, limbs and arms falling all over the ground, let alone Tianhe Network, even if Wangyi was tied up with Penguin, it would not be able to pass the review.

But if it is a little more harmonious, such as canceling the setting of crushing corpses, Chuhe doesn't know if the road to survival can still pass the trial.

It's the best thing to try when the time comes, but if you want to pass the review, you need to make a lot of changes.

For example, changing the background of the game, turning the four-person protagonist into soldiers, policemen, and members of the organization, and making the zombies look less scary, if they don’t pass the trial, then it’s okay to pass the trial.

Anyway, according to Chuhe's plan, in addition to landing on the console platform, the game will also be ported to the PC platform in the shortest possible time.

There is no way to log in to WEGAME and other domestic platforms, but there is still no problem with the steam platform. When the time comes to set up a domestic server, it is actually not a big problem to fail the review.

Of course, if the higher-ups really want to directly give the steam platform to the wall, then players can only rely on the players themselves to use scientific online methods to buy and play games.

The event will be held a week later, Chuhe thought about it and called back, and gave the other party an answer that he will participate in it at that time, and at the same time asked sideways about the other judges participating in the competition.

Fang Ping from Penguin, Chen Jing from Thunderbolt, Wu Qian from Shengda, Chief Yang from Shang Hai, and Minister Li.

After getting the list of judges, Chuhe silently put down his phone, speechless.

What judging lineup is this?
Indie game contest, what kind of review is this?
Not to mention Fang Ping, Chen Jing, and Wu Qian. Although they are all in charge of the online game studios of their respective companies, they are also well-known game producers in the industry.

But why are the director and the minister here?
Is it true that there are no suitable game reviewers in China?
Not to mention, although Yao Daxian has always been called Yao Daxian, Yao Daxian himself still has a little ability, and Qian Bin and Zhang Ke on Longzu's side, with the birth of Meteor Butterfly Sword, are also somewhat famous .

The result is the last reviewer.

Chuhe shook his head, not knowing what to say.

It seems that the government is beginning to pay attention to it and also support the game industry.

Bank loans, policy easing, etc., are a good thing, but they are also a bad thing.

This means that more and more people are entering the game industry, and it represents the vigorous development of the game industry.

But in the process of development, more and more spicy chicken games will be born, just like the online game boom a few years ago, and the policy supports online games, how many spicy chicken online games have been born on the market?

(The same is true of mobile games in recent years. Seeing the economic effects of the mobile game industry, various local governments have begun to support the mobile game industry, and many mobile game companies have been born. The local GDP has increased, but a large number of people have formed mobile games Studio, and then produced a bunch of spicy chickens, not to mention his own death, and even added a lot of spicy chickens to the market.)
Now that he has decided to participate and serve as a judge, the other party also sent the relevant information, Chu He sat on the chair in the office and began to look.

The Huaxia Independent Game Competition sounds quite famous, but the competition has only been held for two years, and this year is the third year.

The main works cover PC platforms, console platforms, and mobile platforms, and because the official is the main organizer, the major domestic media, including live broadcast platforms, are very respectful, and those who can be called are basically cooperative media.

But after looking at the information, Chuhe found out that basically this event is full of thunder and rain, and there are not many awards in the event. There are only the following best art works, the best PC platform, console platform, and mobile platform Work, Best Creative Work, and most importantly Best Game Work.

In the previous two competitions, Chuhe found that the winning works basically did not cause much trouble, and the best one was a mobile game invested by Penguin.

Some of the rest are still alive, some are dead, and some have not even been released.

"I don't know what the game is about." Chu He looked at the information, shook his head, and muttered in his heart.

If he didn't want to get close to the people above him and explore the possibility of passing the trial on the road to survival, he himself would not want to go.
