Judging from the flow of people throughout the exhibition, Youxing Electronic Entertainment naturally has the most frequent flow of people and the most people playing.
Except for Youxing Electronic Entertainment, some small game companies on the margins look a bit pitiful.
They will only have three or two people come to take a look in about ten minutes.
Even if only two or three people enter their exhibition area, people from those game companies will work hard to promote their games.
While Zhu Youxing was wandering around, a man suddenly called Zhu Youxing from behind.
"Sir, please come and take a look at our exhibition. Our games are very interesting!"
Zhu Youxing turned around and looked around. It was a small booth that occupied an area a little larger than a bathroom. There were three or two players gathering in front of a single laptop to play.
Next to the two or three players, there is a man with a work badge, bald hair and a strong beard who is enthusiastically explaining how to play the game.
The person who called Zhu Youxing was a tall and thin man.
His hair is also very thin, which shows that he is a master of programming.
Zhu Youxing glanced at the work badge of this tall and thin man.
Black Diamond Games Studios.
Lead Game Designer Tim Darnley.
"Sir, you seem to be a very classy person. We have a brand new game that we have just developed. You can try it. You will definitely not be disappointed."
Regarding the other party's enthusiastic solicitation, Zhu Youxing was okay with it and nodded: "Okay, what kind of game are you playing?"
Hearing Zhu Yuxing's proactive question, the person named Tim Darnley immediately said: "It is a role-playing game, but our game is not an adventure story of knights or brave men, nor is it a Final Fantasy game.
This is a story with some magical science fantasy, but a brand-new world view setting. I would like to call it a doomsday style role-playing game. This is a brand-new world view, and the game rules are based on the running group to a certain extent. It has a very mature
The numerical system will definitely not let you down. At the same time, our game also draws on..."
Zhu Youxing asked a question and the other party immediately started to introduce it endlessly.
Zhu Youxing suddenly felt a little dizzy after hearing this.
This guy is really a bit too eloquent.
Zhu Youxing quickly stopped: "Well, wait a moment, there is no need to introduce so much, I can try to play with it."
"Great! Then sir, come with me! It's just that we may not have any gifts to give, but if you want our signatures, we are willing to provide them."
Zhu Youxing was speechless for a while.
A signature from an unknown studio is certainly unattractive.
He probably understood why there seemed to be so few people in this small booth.
Even if the other booths are not as good as Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, the average number of visitors is about seven or eight.
But here, there are only two or three, and they look like they haven't changed for a while.
The two or three people seemed to have been sitting there for a long time. The cold drinks around them had begun to melt due to being left for a long time, and condensation water was dripping down the table.
But this is quite unusual.
A general exhibition stand will not retain players for too long.
Most of them were attracted by the small gifts given by the booth or the beauty.
Then when they find that the game is boring, they will decisively leave without stopping at all.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhu Youxing also became curious and wanted to go and experience it.
Gluten wax
Apocalyptic style role play?
This immediately reminded Zhu Youxing of a well-known game from his previous life, that is, the Fallout series.
The games in the Fallout series can probably be collectively called wasteland-style role-playing games, which are somewhat similar to what Tim Darnley calls doomsday-style role-playing games.
Is it based on the rules of the running group?
Tim seemed to be afraid that Zhu Youxing would be scared away, so he directly took Zhu Youxing's arm to their booth.
"Hey, Bourne, I've brought another one! Remember to buy me a drink later!"
"No problem! Sir, please sit down for a while and see how this player plays. Then I will explain to you the basic gameplay of the game!"
When the bearded and balding man saw another person approaching, his eyes immediately lit up, and he took Zhu Youxing's arm cheerfully, and then pressed him onto a seat with a big hand.
To be honest, if Zhu Yuxing wasn't really curious about this game, he would probably be scared away by the behavior of these two guys. No wonder there is no one here.
Two big and thick men, and they don't seem to care much about hospitality. It would be awesome if they could attract players to come and play games.
It doesn't matter to Zhu Youxing.
Anyway, he was indeed a little curious.
So he stretched his neck and looked at the small laptop screen.
On his notebook, Zhu Youxing suddenly saw the oblique top-down perspective that was very familiar to him.
That's the classic perspective from games like Diablo, Fantasy Westward Journey, and Wasteland.
The design of this perspective can be said to be just right, very consistent with the normal perception of human vision.
At the same time, this perspective can also save a lot of game resources, and even one person can still make a good game.
If there is a high-quality game engine, the efficiency of developing games will increase by another order of magnitude.
Zhu Youxing started to really become interested in this game.
Final Fantasy 7 is also made from this perspective.
However, until now, other game manufacturers have not tried much this kind of game perspective.
The current game market is still in the exploratory stage, and no one really knows what kind of design is best for players to experience the game.
They haven't yet thought about how much impact perspective has on the game.
And this game has won at least in this look and feel.
This made Zhu Youxing's favorable impression of this game increase a lot.
"When you come to this place, you can try to take risks by rolling the dice. If the number of the dice is within the range you just specified, the closer you get, the higher the damage you will get, thereby defeating the enemy."
The bearded and bald man was still explaining the rules and gameplay of his game.
As Zhu Youxing listened, he felt that this was indeed a game type derived from group running games.
Even game rules like dice are included.
There was a classic indie game Disco Elysium in the previous life that used this method.
However, this game method is too retro and boring, and it is actually difficult for ordinary players to get into it.
However, the idea of applying team running rules into the game should be considered the first of these two people, and they seem to be really trying to make this game have a different expressive power.
Well, it's interesting. At least these two people have good minds.
