Lin Hai"s speech was more slick and sly, obviously so he wouldn"t offend the two. In fact, he didn"t have a particularly clear att.i.tude.
The audience began to whisper.
The words of s.h.i.+ Huazhe still played a certain role. A senior game designer was so sharply opposed to a work, and his words were reasonable. Many viewers also wavered and began to doubt that such a game is really worth recommending?
Lin Hai"s speech seems to be fair, but it"s useless. The audience will forget what he said quickly, but the words of s.h.i.+ Huazhe will be remembered by the audience.
Chen Mo felt relieved.
If Lin Hai jumps out against 《Flappy Bird》, then his situation would have been very difficult. The att.i.tude of the two judges is enough to affect a large number of audience, and Lin Hai occupies a neutral position, which is not bad.
However, he still can"t let down his guard.
It is now the turn of the youngest judge, Qiu Hengyang. One judge is firmly opposed and the other is neutral, so now his att.i.tude will determine the fate of the game to some extent.
Qiu Hengyang opened the microphone and meditated for a while before speaking: "I have a different opinion about this game than teacher s.h.i.+ Huazhe."
Chen Mo couldn"t help but be startled. What, this buddy wants to debate for me? Is his vision unique compared with the other two? He sees the special features of this game?
s.h.i.+ Huazhe also had a stunned face, staring at Qiu Hengyang, and he wanted to see what he is going to say.
Qiu Hengyang said: "This game, if I didn"t know the live data, I wanted to give it 8 points, but after I saw the live data, I think I can give it a 9 points. Of course, I give this rating after comparing the other games."
"That is to say, it deserves the first place."
The audience in the venue was in an uproar!
What the h.e.l.l, 9 points? Is it a 100 points system.
Looking at Qiu Hengyang"s tone and demeanor, obviously this is a 9-point system.
There are a lot of people in the audience who had fun playing 《Flappy Bird》, but they also know that this game is crudely made. The best result is that they will rate it at 7 points. It is too exaggerating to rate it 9 points.
Qiu Hengyang ignored the audience"s surprise and continued: "Please don"t be surprised, this is the difference between a professional game designer and a normal player."
"What you see is a mini-game with simple style and simple play, and what I see is a sincere work with exquisite design and advanced thinking!"
"Why would I say that? Please listen to me."
The audience present was attracted by Qiu Hengyang. Many viewers were very curious. Qiu Hengyang magically boasts of the game. How will he explain to make it sound reasonable?
This contest has live broadcasts and video recordings. If Qiu Hengyang says nonsense, he will lose his face in the game circle!
Qiu Hengyang said: "Next, I have to ask you a few questions. You don"t need to answer them. Just think about it in your mind."
"The first question, you all said that the style of this game is very simple, then I ask you, do you think this bird is really ugly? Or, you think this bird is a bit stupid but you feel it interesting when it flies then falls down to its death"
"The second question, is there anyone who roughly calculated the speed at which the bird naturally falls? What is the height of the bird flying up after the finger clicks?"
"The third question is, why does the gameover start as soon as you click on the screen? Why this very simple game has a network and ranking features?"
"The fourth question, did you notice the advertising bar on the gameover screen?"
"Let"s think about these issues."
After Qiu Hengyang finished speaking, he deliberately turned off the microphone and gave the audience a few minutes to think about the questions.
The audience immediately discussed about it.
These people are all game enthusiasts, they are interested in some of the gateways of game and love to study it. Moreover, most of the audience were addicted to 《Flappy Bird》, so Qiu Hengyang"s questions made the audience think about them.
Chen Mo was a little surprised, because Qiu Hengyang"s problems basically hit all the key points of the game, which is incredible in Chen Mo"s view.
After all, the game design philosophy of this world is very backward and full of prejudice.
Obviously, this Qiu Hengyang is not simple. He can put aside prejudice and seriously study the factors of a game"s success, instead of roughly attributing it to "luck", which in Chen Mo"s view is a game designer"s most critical quality.
Based on this, Chen Mo did not doubt that, if he threw Qiu Hengyang into his previous life, he would still be a very good game designer.
Qiu Hengyang thought that the audience almost finished thinking about it and continued: "Everyone should have a vague feeling, then congratulations, you are taking the first step to the game designers" field of thinking."
"The first question, is the style of this game really that bad?"
"Look at this little bird, what is your first feeling? Stupid? Cute? Silly? Foolish? Attention, this is a game of pixel styling. The lines and colors used by the whole bird is very simple, but it"s not easy for a big eyes + sausage mouth + small wings to directly outline a silly bird image.
"And, the image of this bird is very consistent with the content of the game. The stupidity of the bird effectively dilutes the frustration for failing the game, and even made you feel that the bird is stupid instead of you, right?"
As soon as Qiu Hengyang"s voice just dropped, and there was a burst of laughter immediately.
Qiu Hengyang continued: "The second question, why should I ask the bird"s falling speed and the flying height after clicking? Very simple, this is two key numerical factors that directly affect the difficulty of the game."
"If the falling speed is too fast and the rise is too high, then the game will be very difficult. Most people will not score more than double digits. Then the frustration of this game will be stronger, most people won"t play it for a long time."
"Can it be reversed? This game will become too simple, most people can easily get dozens of points, and soon players will realize that the game is very boring, very dull, and will quickly give up."
"So, in my opinion, the numerical design of this game is very clever, it has a good grasp of balance point, making this game very difficult, very abusive, so that most people can not get high scores, but it gives you a little hope that you can always have a chance if you keep trying."
"The third question, the designer deliberately designed the gameover screen very simple, click and it will start again, in order to reduce some unnecessary steps, so that you can quickly restart the game. With the constant repet.i.tion, it will let you become numb to gameover, and even make you not feel the pa.s.sage of time."
"As for the networking and ranking features, it seems to me that this is the highlight of the game. Without networking function, its data will be one-third or even less."
"Why? Because this kind of game, only by comparing, your points will it be meaningful, otherwise even if you get 100 points, 1000 points, you can"t show it off to others, what is the point?"
"When I mention show off, I don"t mean taking the phone and let others see your scores, but directly through the ranking list displaying your scores to all players who are playing this game – see, how awesome I am! How many of you can keep trying to get better points like me??"
A large number of audience raised their hands.
Qiu Hengyang nodded: "This is what I meant, networking and ranking features are the highlight of this game!"
A front-row audience shouted: "Teacher Qiu, is this why you got 39 points and use your name?"
The venue was full of laughter.
