Chapter 31 Walk with your head
The answers and answers in class are still continuing.
The game review work in Wanhu North America is also underway.
The power of role models is infinite. There are myths of getting rich that have been cast on making electronic games, which have made countless people choose to make electronic games.
Although Wanhu North America is not an early game publisher to enter the US market, it has supported many local game developers in the United States because of its previous "Hundred People Plan".
Some of these developers have become role models for getting rich, so there are many more people who choose to invest in games in Wanhu.
However, although there are many contributions, there are very few games with decent quality.
Too many people think that making electronic games is like bent over to pick up money. If you buy a book and turn it into a textbook, you can take a look. The things you make seem to make a lot of money.
In fact, compared with these people who make electronic games, those who sell computers, textbooks, and teaching classes really make money.
Just like the gold rush back then, gold diggers turned to less money, but those who sold jeans and shovels made real money.
Although game makers trust Wanhu North America's distribution capabilities very much, Wanhu North America's game review capabilities are very limited.
With limited review capabilities, the review of submissions by tens of thousands of North Americans is naturally not very fast.
The game where Takahashi and Ai did not mark their real names and did not say hello in advance was naturally submerged in this ocean of submissions.
The submission review of Wanhu North America is divided into three stages: preliminary review, re-examination and final review.
The preliminary review stage is the loosest, but also the link with the highest elimination rate.
Basically, as long as the game can run normally and enter the game normally, the preliminary review will be passed.
However, most of the submissions cannot even be done with this step.
The review is relatively strict. At least there must be a title screen, a button to start the game, and all kinds of places must be complete.
Compared with the elimination rate of up to 70% in the preliminary review, the elimination rate of re-examination is lower, about 50%.
That is, there are twenty games that can be reviewed, and they can be roughly three or four of them.
And the remaining three or four games are eliminated at the final review, and the probability of elimination is about 50%.
Although these game titles are all available, the graphics are still a good match, and they can be regarded as a game.
But there are still a lot of works that take advantage of the troubled waters.
For example, the gameplay and even the level design are all copied from other games. It looks like a game that changes the shell.
For example, games are too boring, and some games even drive a truck and have no end to drive.
Eliminate these games with obvious problems, and the remaining games will contact the game maker.
There will be special people to communicate with the game maker to solve immature parts of the game and make the game more suitable for real distribution.
Among them, there are also a few producers who can communicate effectively. Although many game makers want to make money, they have all kinds of inexplicable persistence.
Although I hope my work is a commercial work, I don’t want to adapt to the market.
For game makers who have no way to communicate, they naturally choose to give up. Put their limited experience on those producers who are willing to cooperate.
After rounds of elimination and running-in, among the last thousand game submissions, there are probably only one game that can be launched.
The game with such a high degree of completion produced by Takahashi and Ai can be said to be passed in the preliminary review and re-examination effortlessly.
However, during the final trial, many people expressed different opinions.
"I think this "The Sims" cannot be regarded as a game! If this is a game, what is the goal of this game? Is it to let the villains here live? Can such a game that simulates life be regarded as a game? I don't think it should pass the final review."
Someone who had conflicts with the reviewer who spoke with him, and didn't know whether to take advantage of the topic or how he said, "I think this "The Sims" is a good game! Everyone has played the "The Sims" series on handheld consoles! I think although these two games only have the same names, I think the inner core of the game is very same! Think about it, did the protagonists on the "The Sims" handheld console version have also been successful again and again. After playing this game for five hours, I found that the same is true.
I think this game has some reference to the handheld version of The Sims, but it does not constitute plagiarism.
I have also checked the code, and I have found no traces of plagiarism in the above code!
And, I think this game is very complete! It is very suitable for us to promote it with all our might!”
"This is not a game at all! If you say it is a game, can I also make a game to build a house?
Build a city from scratch?
Isn't it also very fulfilling?
But is this a game?
What is the goal of the game?
What is the challenge?
Are there really people who are bored to build a building?”
"I think it's good that you can make such a game. I've thought about the name for you. How about it? "Simulation City"!
I remember you had run for a parliamentarian without success.
That's just right!
In this game, you are the mayor, you do whatever you want, and no one can stop you.
However, I think you may not even be able to play a game well, right?
My 'Mr.' Do you think it's?"
"you……"
"Okay!" As the supervisor of the audit department, he suddenly took a photo of the table.
"This game is very complete, but it is controversial in terms of gameplay. I think this game is left first, and you can send someone to contact the producer first. I will submit it to the headquarters for review and see what the headquarters thinks!"
When the two of them heard the word "Headquarters", they immediately closed their mouths.
Wanhu Headquarters are like holy lands for both of them.
There is almost no game that comes from Wanhu headquarters, two people don’t like to play.
A place where such an interesting game can be made is a paradise for those of them who like to play games!
"I think the headquarters will definitely think this is a good game!" The reviewer who thought this was a game said in a low voice.
"No! Absolutely not! If this could be considered a game, I would walk with my head!"
"This is what you said! Walk with your head! Don't regret it! Haha!"
"That's what I said! Do you dare to bet with me? If the headquarters says this is not a game, you walk with your head!"
"Okay! Let's see which of us has a harder head!"
I am in a bad state and sad.
Chapter completed!
