I don't need presence or anything

Chapter 346 What's wrong with the game maker
The Independent Game Developers Conference that Lin Huan will participate in is referred to as IPA. So far, it has been held for ten consecutive sessions. Although the domestic game industry environment is very complicated and the influence of the works produced in the competition is very small, it is still held firmly. Going on, in recent years, with the popularity of the Sbeam platform, its popularity and attention have gradually increased, and the scale of the competition has also expanded. This year's competition prize pool has even reached 500 million, which is used for the research and development of independent game products. It is unimaginable for the kobold production team whose expenses are almost only under four figures (not counting the outsourcing expenses of Yuma).

The International Exhibition Center, where the conference is located, is a suburb very far from the city center, at the terminal station along a remote subway line; the exhibition starts at nine in the morning, and the kobold production team got up at five in the morning, ready to board The earliest subway departs for the exhibition centre.

"...Does our production team have so many people?"

Lin Huan, Aiyi, Xia Mo, and Abobo walked together. It took a lot of effort to wake Xia Mo up, so they were the last ones to arrive. When he arrived, he met Su Feiyue from the Manga Research Club and Xia Mo from the Student Union. Shi Yu, Liang Xinyue from the News Department, and Qinghua from Amano High School.

"The COS suit is provided by our department, and I want to help guide it." Feiyue's reasons are very good, and Lin Huan is not easy to refute.She seemed to be looking around for something, wondering if she was looking for Xia Mo who was reluctant to show her true presence.

"I... I was arranged by the ministers. They said that if your work wins the competition, the Supernatural Observation Club will become the second comic research club of our school." Xinyue was a little out of breath when she said this , Lin Huan asked, "Since the Ministry of Information thinks this matter is very important, why didn't they come by themselves and sent you?"

"I...the ministers probably won't get up."

Lin Huan sighed silently, not being able to get up is a good reason.

"I don't have any other reason..."

Before Lin Huan could ask, Qinghua took Xi Xiao's arm, "Xi Xiao invited me, so I'll come and see, maybe I can help."

Although it is a reasonable thing, is the relationship between you and Xi Xiao already close to this level?
Recalling the scene when she met her in high school, it really feels like a lifetime away...

"Since we are all together, then..."

"Wait, wait a minute!" Xia Shiyu babbled for a long time, seeing that Lin Huan ignored her, she immediately became angry, "Why don't you ask me why?"

"If it's not senior Lu Mingxue who admires you, then he's here to review the discipline on behalf of the student union. Otherwise, what else?"

"You, you," Xia Shiyu blushed, "You're right..."

Suddenly feel inexplicable shame.

And this sense of shame was brought to him by this kobold.

But compared to the first time I met him, this guy seems to have changed a lot.

Obviously, it used to be a background board that made it hard to distinguish the back when it passed by, but now it is a bit unforgettable.

What is the reason for this change... Could it be me...

Xia Shiyu rummaged through the records about Lin Huan in the book, and silently transcribed some information in the back.

The journey of the subway is very long, but Lin Huan and his party are sitting in the carriage, so it is quite comfortable.Xia Mo leaned on Lin Huan's shoulder and fell asleep. She slept very comfortably. Of course Lin Huan was also dozing off, but he had nowhere to lean on. He was squinting his eyes and trying to fall asleep with his head up. Lu Mingxue who walked over was woken up.

"Hmm... what?"

"I learned about the IPA conference process. Our games can only participate in the evaluation at four o'clock in the afternoon. Before that, it has been a booth roadshow. I said that this part will be explained by you; but I have a new idea temporarily. "

"Temporary change of mind, isn't this your style?"

"First of all, you have to understand that our purpose of competing this time is to gain the most sense of presence, so it doesn't really matter whether we win the championship." Lu Mingxue said flatly, "You want to be the star of the venue, so you can't Simply showing up like this won’t accumulate much sense of presence.”

"...Okay, tell me what to do."

A total of 50 entries were shortlisted in this IPA competition, and among these 50 games, more than half are games with challenge elements.This challenge element includes content such as confrontation, racing, and clearance. Studios with these elements set up challenge rewards in order to attract more players to try; this form is similar to the carnival gameplay. The more challenges you complete, the more Get richer prizes.

"So, let Gou Huan take the trouble." After listening to Lu Mingxue's introduction of the background, Abobo told the truth, "Pass all the challenges."

"I heard Xia Mo talk about your ability before, so there shouldn't be any problem?"

"Eh..." Lin Huan showed a embarrassed expression, "I seem to have endured extra expectations..."

"By the way...Speaking of which, when will your childhood sweetheart cousin Xia Nai come over?" Feiyue explained, "I have to let her try on the cosplay suit I prepared..."

"Ah... she should have gotten into the car, I'll ask again."

Now that the subway has arrived at the platform of the terminal station, everyone got off the subway together, and then followed Lu Mingxue to navigate along the road, and easily found the International Convention and Exhibition Center, which is just next to the subway.

As mentioned before, the attention and capital investment of this IPA competition are unprecedented. Many of your independent games are close to the investment of commercial development. It is difficult for the petty RM works of the kobold production team to pass the finalists. The one reviewed and highly praised by the judges came from the large amount of CG additions to the original painting by Ma Xuanxuan.Lin Huan later learned about the prices of the original paintings designed by those board paintings. With Ma Xuanxuan's painting level, a pair can be sold for at least 500+. All in all, Ma Xuanxuan's free labor has saved at least [-] to [-] in costs. But even if the cost is counted, whether it is the sincerity or experience spent, it is difficult to compare with other independent game studios.

Lin Huan and the others looked around the venue. There were hardly any high school students their age. They were all young people in their 20s and above. Wearing a stubble beard that doesn't match his age, it's hard to say how many college students account for it; Lu Mingxue, who was originally a smooth navigator, took the booth diagram and led everyone around several times before finding "What is the sense of existence?" I Don’t Need” booth, which is in a corner of the northwest corner of the venue, very remote from the entrance and the booth.

"Whoa, why is our booth in such a remote place?!"

Xia Mo rubbed his sleepy eyes and complained, Lin Huan asked Lu Mingxue to organize and arrange for the booth, and after using the excuse to go to the bathroom, he dragged Xia Mo to the corridor outside the bathroom.

"It's time for you to show up, everyone is asking about your whereabouts now."

"Ah... it's still a bit early," Xia Mo stretched, "I'll wait until the road show—"

"Don't wait for the road show, today..." Lin Huan paused, "Today you can always use your presence to feel that the show is over."

"Wow! No way! So generous!" Xia Mo's eyes widened in surprise, but the light soon dimmed, "However, it doesn't matter... After all, it's unclear about the girlfriend, Lin Yuner thought I'm your girlfriend, and everyone else knows that Xi Xiao is your recognized girlfriend."

"Don't care about such small things, and..." Lin Huan paused, "I still have to do what I did at the last carnival to attract a sense of presence."

So Lin Huan explained Lu Mingxue's strategy, and Xia Mo was very excited after hearing it, "That's fine, I just go with you, so that the group of dogs who play games can't find a girlfriend even if they are bald." People are envious to tears!"

Lin Huan's face was full of black lines after hearing Xia Mo's announcement - what did the game maker do wrong, you are too vicious, right? !
