The process of online competition is very fast.
After an hour of PK, 32 top players were finally selected from thousands of contestants and divided into four rooms for the most critical semi-finals.
And at this time.
In Sister Lin's live broadcast room, barrages kept popping up one after another.
"Quick! Slow down! There's a U-shaped curve ahead!"
"Come on, anchor! We will surpass fifth place soon!"
"Go! There is still a chance, don't give up!"
"So strong! You can actually compete with those great gods. Come on, sister Lin!"
In front of the camera, Sister Lin, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was looking attentively, staring closely at the red phantom flying on the screen.
At this time, she seemed to be a different person. She changed from her usual weakness and her fingers were operating quickly on the keyboard.
The old viewers in the live broadcast room did not expect that her talent in racing games would be so strong, and she had already reached such an exaggerated level after only two days of practice.
Seeing the fiercely competitive racing vehicles in the picture and the red stream of light traveling between the curves, everyone was excited and sent crazy barrages to cheer her up.
Finally, at the last continuous hairpin corner of the track, he used a tricky angle to drift into the turn and overtook the two cars in front of him that were fighting.
Finally reached the finish line in third place.
this moment.
The entire live broadcast room became excited.
"Third! Sister Lin won third place!"
"What a pity. We almost passed the second place and advanced to the finals."
"Yes, they have all been sucked into the wake."
"I started slowly just now and I wasn't very good at it, otherwise I could have gone faster."
"Damn it, if only the track was longer."
Looking at the rankings displayed on the interface, the audience was filled with regret.
I wish I could go on stage and knock over all the cars in front of me for the anchor.
And in front of the camera.
Sister Lin's face was red, and there was a small amount of sweat on her forehead. Instead of being disappointed by the ranking, she felt very happy.
"They are all very good. It's great to reach the semifinals."
Even she herself didn't expect to reach this point in the competition.
Perhaps it was because of the long period of silence that her concentration was much higher than that of ordinary people, and she was able to master it so quickly.
This unprecedented experience made her excited, and she seemed to have regained the excitement she had lost.
The originally dark and monotonous world gradually gained a bit of brilliance.
If possible, she really wanted to meet the designer of this game in person and say thank you in person.
To make such a good game.
The other party should be a knowledgeable elder, right?
...
that's all.
The semi-finals are over.
The remaining eight people reconvened into a room for the finals.
After another thrilling competition and exciting fight, the rankings were finally determined.
Not surprisingly.
The first place winner was a game master in the industry.
Both his strength, experience and reaction speed have reached a level beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The second and third were the team’s apprentice who had previously filmed CG, and another racing game anchor.
Although they failed to win the championship, their performance in the game was recognized by a large number of players and they gained a lot of fame.
certainly.
The most profitable ones are the official ones.
After one game, the popularity of "Need for Speed" nearly tripled, and sales surged into the top ten on the daily sales list that day.
Especially after the game video was posted online, the fierce competition caused a huge response in the gaming circle.
Many people were shocked by the real physics engine and dreamy track scenes of "Need for Speed", and started to experience it one after another.
“The response has been pretty good.”
Chen Lin looked at the statistics just compiled and nodded with satisfaction.
Then he looked at the time and said to the employees: "Everyone has worked hard tonight. Go back and have a good rest. I will ask the finance department to calculate the overtime pay and bonus for you."
As soon as the words fell, the exhausted employees suddenly cheered.
He returned to his seat and hurriedly finished the remaining work at hand.
As for Chen Lin and the others, they came to one side to sit down and began to discuss the next plan.
"I've just seen it. Monster Hunter and several other games have performed well recently. After deducting operation and development costs, we still have more than 10 million yuan left. Chen Lin, what are you going to do?"
As the pillar of the company, Lao Song was the first to speak.
Because "Need for Speed" had just been released, he didn't include this profit.
"More than ten million?"
Chen Lin fell into deep thought.
He originally thought that the development of a large-scale game like "Need for Speed" would use almost all the funds, but unexpectedly there was still a surplus.
After customizing CG animation, his wealth has increased to more than 30 million, and the momentum is even faster than before.
According to the movie, the wealth value of 100,000 per minute is calculated.
It is completely possible to make a three-hour CG blockbuster!
Thinking of this, he raised his head again: "Is there any big trend in the gaming industry recently?"
"I know this." Lao Li on the side interjected, "I heard that a developer exchange conference will be held in Jiangcheng recently, on the 5th of next month."
"That's what you're talking about. I've heard about it too. Isn't it a cake-painting convention?" Lao Song curled his lips and seemed to know something about this matter.
Developer exchange conference.
To put it nicely, it is a place where manufacturers promote the games they are developing, communicate with each other, and warm up the games first.
To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than all kinds of bragging, with each one taking the stage to brag about how powerful their new game engine is, how beautiful the graphics are, how rich the gameplay is, and how advanced the concept is.
When I opened my computer, I saw that I had just created a new folder.
Not even a warm one.
"I remember, this exhibition was held at the beginning of the year, right?" Chen Lin said strangely.
"It's indeed the beginning of the year." Lao Song nodded, "I guess it's because of the capital coming in. Manufacturers have funds and have started to develop new games. They definitely want to use this conference to promote it."
"So, the competition has started a long time ago, right?" Chen Lin's face became solemn.
After those manufacturers receive a large amount of capital injection, the next step must be to develop new games to occupy the market.
Even projects that were almost dead can be revived with huge resources.
When the time comes, it won't be as easy as it is now to stand out among the massive number of games.
"Then do we want to participate?" Lao Li asked.
"My suggestion is that it's best to participate." Lao Song replied.
"But we have just released two new games. Even if we have a self-developed engine to shorten the cycle, it will take time to make the next one."
"Drawing a pie, do you know what drawing a pie means? What we want now is not a game, but a gimmick, a gimmick that allows players to remember our prehistoric times."
Lao Song is worthy of being a former boss. His vision is much sharper than that of Lao Li. He immediately pointed out the key to this exchange conference.
Bragging.
Who doesn’t know how to do it?
Isn't this kind of exhibition just a competition to see who can blow harder and louder?
And the more times this happens, the less likely you are to take the ordinary path.
If they are all the same as those from other manufacturers, players will definitely not remember them. They must be special enough!
"How about we try VR games? Didn't Mr. Chen recently order a batch of VR glasses?" Lao Li suddenly suggested.
