In a blink of an eye.
The Independent Games Festival is coming.
As the most anticipated event for independent manufacturers and gamers, a large number of games appeared on the official website of the event early in the morning.
These games all have one unified feature, which is low cost.
Some can even be made by just one person.
This is also one of the reasons why many independent manufacturers and individuals participate in this event, because they can take the opportunity to promote their own games.
If you become famous in the event, you can also sell it on major platforms and earn a good income.
For them who don’t have much initial capital, it can be considered a good starting opportunity.
It is also a carnival for players and anchors.
"Come on, let's take a look at what games have been updated today."
In the live broadcast room.
The long-awaited Wang Laoju aired early, so open the event homepage to look for games.
Because the event works are free to play, many people were attracted to the live broadcast room, and there were even more comments than usual.
"The multi-person snake up there looks good."
"Why don't you try the pixel shooter below?"
"I like the bomber better, the picture seems to be okay."
“It feels like there are many more games this year than in previous years.”
"Yes, many of them are studios and independent authors that I have never seen before."
"It's so cool. I want to play it when I get home."
Anyone who has experienced the joy of free sex will be very addicted, let alone playing so many games for free at once?
As the anchor, Wang Laoju naturally needs no introduction.
I can’t wait to click on the game introductions one after another, looking for interesting things.
"Huh? This game..."
Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a game that had just been updated.
After watching it for two seconds, a burst of laughter instantly spread throughout the live broadcast room.
"Hahaha... What is this? Can this kind of game also participate in events?"
Everyone looked around and saw the game he clicked on.
[Game: Humanity is utterly defeated]
[Introduction: A relaxing and funny sand sculpture game. The game scene takes place in a misty dreamland. Players can either play alone or play together with up to eight people online. 】
[Type: level entry, multiplayer, puzzle, fun]
...
"Pfft hahaha! What kind of sand sculpture game is this?"
"The painting style is too abstract."
"Humanity is a total failure? Even the name is so weird."
"How do you have the nerve to bring out this kind of game?"
"Sure enough, strange things happen every year, especially this year."
"Just play with this, it looks interesting. (dog head)"
Funny games are the most essential and fun program at the annual Independent Games Festival.
Because there will always be some designers who are too pressed for time and can't finish the work, so they simply put it away and serve the semi-finished product directly.
On the contrary, this kind of risk-taking mood brings a lot of different fun to the players.
During the teasing, Wang Laoju and the audience in the live broadcast room also looked down, to the developer column.
[Developer: Honghuang Studio]
...
Um??
Honghuang Studio?
This awesome game is actually produced by Honghuang Studio??
Seeing the developer's name, everyone's expressions froze, and they subconsciously glanced at the screen a few more times.
"This is... the same prehistoric studio that made "Monster Hunter"?"
Wang Laoju's face was full of questions, and she couldn't associate the two together at all.
You must know that he is a loyal player of "Monster Hunter".
I have been working hard on hunting during this time.
Did you tell him that the game with the ultimate in action and combat was made by the same studio as the one in front of you?
"Good guy, Honghuang also participated in this event?"
"This style of painting is a return to nature."
"I'm afraid it's not a game made with feet."
"Interesting, I'd like to see what kind of shit Honghuang is doing."
Not only the audience was curious, but Wang Laoju was also very curious.
Skillfully click on the icon to enter the interface and choose to start the game.
After waiting for a while.
With a "pop" sound, a little man wearing a yellow hoodie fell down.
That's right.
It just fell straight down.
When they saw the villain's appearance, Wang Laoju and the audience couldn't hold back.
"What is this? You don't even have any facial features or fingers?"
"Hahaha, I knew it."
"This guy is just a character made of rubber, right?"
"Can you believe that there is an option to pinch someone?"
“The designer’s final stubbornness belongs to Yes.”
"It's too rough goose goose goose..."
The game characters that appeared in front of them at this time could no longer be described as scribbles. They were basically little people made out of a handful of clay by the kid from the old Wang family next door.
What's even more outrageous is that there are actually multiplayer games and various pinch-in options.
【Model】
【Upper body】
【color】
【Painting】
【return】
...
Don't say it.
If you just look at the UI, it seems to be something like that, it has everything it should have.
But with this funny character, the taste suddenly changes and the painting style becomes abstract.
"Regardless of anything else, in terms of survival alone, Honghuang has already won many other games."
Wang Laoju suppressed her smile, quickly pinched the character, and switched to the level selection screen.
Power plant, darkness, steam, mansion, train, mountain, castle, water...
Several styles of levels come into view, and the content is actually richer than imagined.
He randomly selected a "train" level.
The next second.
The character he pinched was suspended in the air, fell directly from a high altitude onto a crudely made 3D block map, and stood up unsteadily.
"???"
Looking at the body shaking back and forth like a ghost and the weak limbs, Wang Laoju almost suspected that she had entered the wrong game.
This character...
It turns out that he is really like a rubber man, he walks softly!
"No, I'm going to die laughing here today."
"This physics engine is so messed up that I can't even stand still."
"Are you sure this is a game for people to play?"
"It's really not for people to play with, because mankind has been completely defeated. (dog head)"
"I understand, Honghuang is here specifically to fix things!"
Amidst the laughter, Wang Laoju controlled the character to move forward slowly, towards the locomotive resting on the house in the distance.
I tried jumping several times but couldn't get to the top.
"It's strange, isn't this game a level-breaking game? Why can't I pass it?"
Wang Laoju looked around, and her eyes quickly locked on the bench by the wall. She walked over and tried to put her hand on it, and found that it could be moved.
"Huh? It seems pretty good?"
His eyes lit up and he finally understood how to play the game.
I took a look at the online avatar on the side and clicked on the voice channel to contact my friends.
"Sanren, Lao Zhou, Donggua, I found an interesting game, come and play together!"
After a while, there was a voice response from the channel.
"What game? I am also browsing the Independent Games Festival homepage."
"Find something interesting? Just send the link."
"Come on, come on, there are so many games that I don't know which one to play."
Wang Laoju didn't waste any time and sent the link to the channel, along with a screenshot of the game.
The channel was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Lao Ju, are you sure you got it right?"
"What kind of bullshit style is this?"
"Come right away."
Soon, the three of them figured out their roles and were pulled into the same room by Wang Laoju.
They laughed even louder now, all delighted by the funny style and movements.
