Xu Piao politely replied, "Hello, I'm CH."
"I know that." Mei He raised the corners of his lips and smiled calmly at Xu Piao's panda face, which had just changed its expression. "I have been hearing your name for the past few months."
Xu Piao cooperated and said a few polite words.
However, as they were talking, Mei He suddenly turned the topic to Xu Piao and Lake's collaboration on games. While secretly saying, "It must be very difficult to work with Lake," he asked Xu Piao if he was interested in a game with love elements, saying that he thought Xu Piao would be very suitable for this.
Xu Piao: ...Why do I feel that this person is a little teasing?
This shouldn't be her illusion. After Lake discovered that Mei He was secretly implying something about him, he turned his salty fish eyes and looked at her.
However, as for the B-sports that Mei He mentioned, Xu Piao didn't want to do it for the time being. Even if he wanted to do it in the future, it would probably take a long time before he could do it again.
While the producers were communicating at their seats, the judges' evaluation scores for each game began to be announced one by one.
The game that was announced now was a game that Xu Piao seemed to have seen somewhere, but did not have much impression of. The comprehensive evaluation score was 75 points. Xu Piao looked up and found that this comprehensive score was calculated based on the game's scenes, music, graphics, gameplay, and gameplay innovation. This game with a score of 75 had good hardware such as scenes, music, and graphics, but the gameplay was relatively mediocre, so it did not get a high score.
Xu Piao couldn't help but compare the graphics of "Hell's Distance" with the graphics of this game.
There is definitely no problem with the picture. In addition to his imagination, Xu Piao also used Lake's various formulas to refine it and asked him to check it again. As for the scene, there shouldn't be any major problems... The only thing he is not sure about is the music.
Because whether it is games like "The Distance Between the Dead and the Dead", "Peach Blossom Spring" or "Record of Mountains and Seas", Xu Piao's background music is mixed from the original sounds of various scenes. For some songs that have a slight melody idea, she also hums it based on her feelings, and then records the melody and edits it with other sounds to create some melodies that sound quite high-end.
Therefore, the background music of "The Distance Between Heaven and Earth" was mainly composed by someone specially hired by Lake.
"It's my turn." Mei He said suddenly.
Just at this moment, a section of game content appeared on the huge light screen behind the judges' seats that displayed the game screen.
One is clearly the player's character, and the other, a nearly perfect-looking male character, should be the protagonist of this otome game. The scene presented in the game is the moment when the player character falls off the aircraft. The protagonist grabs the player with his powerful hands, then gazes deeply into her eyes and utters the famous line:
"Don't ever let go of my hand."
Then, in the strong wind at high altitude, the hero pulled the heroine into his arms, and then jumped off the destroyed aircraft with her, falling rapidly in the air.
Usually, such plots can easily make the people involved have a surge of adrenaline and feel their hearts beating in excitement.
[The scene that was released was actually this one, and I recalled this damn exciting feeling.]
[It's Al, that's great! ]
['As long as you don't leave first, I will never let go']
[I'm moved to tears. In four years, Meimei has really improved a lot.]
[Looking at this now really gives me a completely different feeling. I remember when Meimei made her first game, I complained that the protagonist was too deliberate and contrived, and didn't have that romantic feeling.]
As the game clips played on the light screen, Xu Piao searched for Mei He and the games he made on the Star Network.
It is said that girls did not like the love stories that Meihe wrote in the beginning, because the male protagonists were too templated and deliberate. In today's words, they were a bit greasy when they were flirting.
But later on, I don’t know whether I got rid of the template, had an epiphany, or went to study further.
In short, after a long period of silence, when Mei He appeared in front of the public with a newly produced game, he seemed to have suddenly become a master of love. The emotional line was not only not greasy or deliberate, but also so sweet that players screamed.
After that, every game he made was very popular among girls, and over time he even had a certain number of male fans.
However, Xu Piao's focus was not on this, but on...
"Do all the games you make have a male and a female protagonist?" She looked at Mei He, who had light blond semi-curly hair and looked frivolous and romantic, with some surprise.
"Of course. How can there be an extra person interfering in a relationship?" Mei He said as a matter of course.
"...a little surprised." Xu Piao muttered in his heart, don't judge a book by its cover.
Judging from the first impression, most people who have met Mei He would think that he is a romantic playboy who likes to have a lot of fun.
But Xu Piao had never expected that even such a Mei He could be a pure love warrior! In every game he had made over the years, there was absolutely no third party involved. The heroine and hero, both players, were together naturally, in a firm 1v1 relationship.
...Xu Piao is completely different.
She believes that if you don't buy stocks in B-games, you might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes. What's wrong with girls having more choices in games? Therefore, there are usually one, two, three, four, five, six, or seven male characters, allowing players to choose their favorite player and follow his path.
——You can also have it all, break your heart into many pieces and fall in love with different people in each piece. Isn’t that normal?
In other words, if Mei He is a pure love warrior, then Xu Piao is an N/P warrior.
"Meihe's "Hunting Heartbeat" has an overall score of 90, a plot score of 85, and a player retention rate of 90%." The judges of the Game Production Association announced the scores of Meihe's shortlisted games.
Compared with the previous people, this score is already a high score.
【Go, go, go! 】
【Legendary Prize Rush! 】
[The highest score so far, hahaha, awesome]
Ai Yue, the former [Meimei's undisclosed girlfriend] and current [Xie Qingyu's only lover] who was originally a die-hard fan of Mei He, gave Mei He a cheer and then waited intently for the release of "The Distance Between the Netherworld".
The game that ranks behind "Hunting Heartbeat" is "Hell's Distance".
As soon as the game screen of "The Distance Between Heaven and Earth" appeared on the screen, the people sitting in the award ceremony felt the atmosphere around them inexplicably cold, and they touched their arms before starting to watch.
Compared to other shortlisted games, the tone of "The Hell's Distance" is a bit too dark.
An old woman embroidering shoes on the threshold, tentacles poking out from the sewage, a cat squatting on a coffin, a shadow clinging to a person's back, a monster with its body split open, an actor waving his sleeves on the stage, a girl hiding in a closet with a quiet smile, a corpse hanging in the kitchen...
This bizarre world composed of strange and beautiful pictures slowly unfolds before everyone's eyes.
Some people who were less courageous could not help but hiss and look away after watching a few scenes, not daring to look anymore.
Beyond the opening, the rest of the game, like all previous games, features actual player gameplay. Players gradually mastered the art of dodging ghosts and found joy in it, while the professionals on hand saw the rise of a new competitive style within this new gameplay mode.
"Overall score 94, plot 95, player retention rate 85%." Mei Jiangqiu read out the scores calculated by the data analysis program.
The whole audience was in an uproar, and the comments from the audience at the award ceremony became lively.
[This is the highest score! This is the highest score! ]
[People from the underworld, charge at me! ]
Is this score too high?
[? Hey, this is the score calculated directly by the program, right? Not a human score? I think the retention rate is too low.]
You know, while the player retention rate for Hell's Distance isn't that high, many of those who've played it once and haven't played it again are watching the livestream! We're just a little too timid to play it ourselves, but we still love the game!
[As long as the on-site test results, the prospect forecast, and the judges' scores are correct, it's a sure thing!]
While everyone was saying this, Lake's expression was not very good... Although his expression could not be seen from his salty appearance, the pressure on him had already dropped.
"If the score is too high upfront, it will be suppressed in the on-site test and the judges' evaluation. It's kind of an unspoken rule." Mei He kindly explained to Xu Piao, "Because the association likes to maintain balance, they try not to let the score gap be too big... Oh, right, when they rate the game, they also consider the producer's qualifications, experience, and other miscellaneous things."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Xu Piao suddenly realized.
Mei He: "...Why aren't you worried at all?"
"Winning the award is a pleasant surprise. Even if I didn't win, I could still consider myself taking advantage of the popularity of this awards ceremony. It's a win-win." Xu Piao patted the lazy Laker to reassure him. "Compared to this, I'm more curious about how the on-site test was conducted."
"Should we let the program do the testing, or let humans do the testing?"
The author has something to say:
The pure love mentioned here does not mean danmei
Pure love: pure and innocent love
The term "Pure Love Warrior" generally appears more frequently in the second dimension derivative frequency
So Xu Piao and Mei He should not be cooperating, but rather competing with each other. After all, pure love warriors and NP warriors cannot stand in the same camp. [Hey!
