Of course, Tang Tang didn't really know what the situation was at the Federal Center. After all, she was not very familiar with many things in this era.
On the contrary, the experienced Luo Qingmei seemed to have thought of some key points and asked:
"Xiao Tang, do you know Gu Yang, the Alpha game designer?"
Gu Yang? Who is he? I don't know him?
"I don't know, but Sister Luo, why are you asking this question all of a sudden? Does this have anything to do with whether I can get the application to enter the Federation Center Star Network Center?"
"Well, there is some connection." Luo Qingmei nodded and said so.
"Gu Yang is a talented game designer from the Federation Center. Before Star Trek became popular, games created by this designer dominated the entire gaming market. But after the hugely popular game My Beast Manor faded, Gu Yang seemed to have hit a plateau. He hasn't released any new games in almost two years."
"It wasn't until a while ago that I heard he'd created a new game. It's only been on the market a few days now, and there's been no promotion, so not many people know about it. Furthermore, as is his habit, he always fine-tunes every detail to perfection before promoting his game. Applying for access to the Federation Center's all-star network was one of the details he'd perfected in advance. Plus, since he's a designer from the Federation Center, they might give his application priority."
After hearing this, Tang Tang finally understood what Luo Qingmei meant.
This is somewhat similar to the "local people-friendly policies" and "prioritized support for local business development policies," which will give priority support to game designers from the federal center.
The most important thing is that there is only one entry quota each year. If the designer named 'Gu Yang' also applied for this year's All Star Network entry, she would most likely be rejected, right? After all, there is only one entry quota.
But what about the new game designed by game designer Gu Yang? Tang Tang had played "My Exotic Beast Manor" when she first started playing the interstellar market, but she felt that game was still a little different from "Star Trek", not to mention her "Xianxia Qiyuan".
You can't say the managers of the Federation Center are blind, right? Normally, the production level of the two games should be similar to convince people.
Tang Tang thought about this and asked subconsciously. She also wanted to know what game Gu Yang designed. She also wanted to take a look.
"Gu Yang's new game isn't fully launched yet, it's only half-launched. It's in a closed beta test phase, and they've only sent out invitation codes to a select number of players. Dongyang and I both happen to have one. Go to Star Network, and I'll give you the invitation code. I'll take you to check out the game."
Luo Qingmei was also a person who acted decisively. In just a short while, she took Tang Tang over there.
After finishing a round of the game, Tang Tang had to admit that the other party was indeed a game design genius!
The game designed by Gu Yang's designer is a game that combines role-playing, pursuit and puzzle-solving.
Yes, you heard it right. This is actually a holographic puzzle game. The background design and environment rendering of the game are all very well done, which can instantly put people into the tension. Even a game veteran like Tang Tang couldn't help but play the game for almost half a day after entering it. This is enough to prove the excellence of this game.
But this was designed when the game market was not very prosperous at that time, which was completely different from Tang Tang's experience of having come from a prosperous game market. Tang Tang even felt that if she and this game designer named "Gu Yang" were to design games on the same level, the games she designed might not be as good as those designed by Gu Yang.
The game designed by the other party now is expected to be a huge hit once it is advertised in the future.
It seems that there may be no chance of getting StarNet approval this year. We may have to wait until next year to apply again. Otherwise, we can change our thinking and fine-tune the attribute data of game characters from different star regions to adjust the game balance.
This method is only temporary, and it cannot keep the player characters equal for a long time. The most important thing is that this fine-tuning is a big project. It is estimated that even if she, Zhang Shang, and Luo Qingmei work overtime, it will take a week to complete it. After completion, they will have to continue to adjust.
Just when Tang Tang was thinking about whether she should do this, the Federal Center actually responded to her application for admission. Unexpectedly, this year the Federal Center did not block her application for admission, but approved the access of "Xianxia Qiyuan" to the Federal Center's star network management. This also meant that the big stone that had been weighing on her heart could finally be relaxed.
But what Tang Tang didn't expect was that in addition to receiving the admission application from the Federal Center, she also received another private message from the Federal Center on her Star Network account. The person who sent her the private message was none other than the genius game designer - Gu Yang.
Tang Tang hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and decided to contact the other party's Star Network number as written in the other party's private message.
After a while, the image of the other party emerged in front of him. He was a very young and arrogant game designer who spoke directly. As soon as the call was connected, the other party started talking directly.
"My application for admission was received three hours ago, but I heard that other game developers have also applied for admission this year, and their games are currently many times more popular than mine. I've also played 'Xianxia Qiyuan', and it's indeed a very good game. I don't think my new game will be worse than 'Xianxia Qiyuan', but... 'Xianxia Qiyuan' is indeed many times more popular and popular than my game. This is a fact."
"So, I've withdrawn my application for this year's entry. I think Xianxia Qiyuan is more qualified than me right now, but at the same time, I don't think my game would be inferior to yours if our games were launched at the same starting point."
This is a game designer who "keeps his word and won't tolerate any inaccuracies". After hearing this, Tang Tang finally understood what this meant. The other party should have obtained the access, but he obviously thought that this matter had to follow the procedure.
According to the previous selection rules, whoever designed the most popular and hottest game would be approved. Just because he is 'Gu Yang', the spot cannot be reserved for him.
Therefore, the other party took the initiative to withdraw the application, allowing "Xianxia Qiyuan" to return to its normal position.
Regarding this, Tang Tang had to admire the other party's persistence and courage, but there was one thing Tang Tang didn't quite understand, which was why the other party came all the way to say these words. The other party didn't look like someone who wanted to show off or get any benefits from her.
"Indeed, I came to you for a purpose. I admire your game design for 'Xianxia Qiyuan', but I also feel my game design skills are comparable to yours... Miss Tangmu, can we have a competition between the two game designers? We'll set a set design timeframe, keep the names of the game designers secret, and release the games anonymously at the same time. Player retention rate and game ratings will be the judges!"
Is this what the game designers meant by a direct competition showdown?
It must be said that Tang Tang's interest was aroused to some extent after hearing this. This is the advantage of designing games in the interstellar era. One can realize his own game concept design in a short period of time and challenge the various possibilities of game designers to the maximum extent.
Tang Tang is not a competitive person, but it must be said that at this moment, Tang Tang was indeed moved.
It doesn't matter whether she wins or loses this game design competition. She just wants to know how far she can go with her level.
So Tang Tang didn't hesitate much and quickly nodded in agreement.
Luo Qingmei, who happened to be standing nearby, happened to know about this and suggested that she be the judge to summarize the player retention rates and related data to determine who was better. She also suggested that since they were going to compete, they might as well give the questions to the players and let them come up with keywords to make the questions.
So, the next day, someone discovered that the game designer of "Star Survival", Luo Qingmei, had posted an invitation on the Star Network, "Players Say What You Want", inviting many players to express their thoughts on the game.
If there were game designers who could design games based on what they wanted, they would want to see what kind of game it was. Each player can only come up with one keyword.
[Hey, what does this invitation post mean? Does it mean... that the game designer will make whatever game we say?]
[Hey, I don't quite understand, but it sounds like a lot of fun. It just so happens that I have a request right now. Games like "Xianxia Qiyuan" and "Star Survival" are all really fun, but the playtimes are a bit long. It's fine during my free time, so I can play as much as I want. But during my free time, I can't even play games. Are there any fun games I can play during those free time? Like, games that last only four or five minutes?]
[Yes, yes, yes, the above person hit the nail on the head. I've got a suggestion too. Can you add music? Recently, goddess Lin Lin released several great new songs, and I really like them. I want to play a game related to Lin Lin's new songs.]
[Yes, it would be even better if there was a competitive aspect, like three or four people in a game.]
The keywords were randomly drawn by Luo Qingmei on the floor, and finally there were three keywords: four to five minutes per game, related to Lin Lin's new song, and wanting to be competitive.
Tang Tang and the other party only had one day to design the game. In the early morning of the next day, both sides would launch the game at the same time and count player retention feedback three days later. There would be three games in total, and two wins out of three would be considered a win.
It can be said that after receiving the keywords given by Luo Qingmei, the first thing that came to Tang Tang's mind was to design a music game.
A song lasts about four or five minutes, which just meets the requirements of the first two keywords. The only difficulty is that it needs to be competitive.
After all, music games are less likely to be competitive, and even if there is a player-versus-player mode, it won't be very strong. However, music beat games in the past did have their own unique charm.
Moreover, one thing we need to note is that this is the era of holographic games. Holographic mode can be played at any time without any pressure, so music rhythm games alone are not enough. Holographic game factors must also be combined.
However, although Tang Tang thought a lot, his hands did not hesitate and he quickly logged into the Star Network game designer room, intending to first create the prototype of the music game he had in mind.
So, in the early morning of the next day, two anonymous mini-games without the names of the game designers were quietly launched.
The author has something to say:
