Wednesday, July 12th.

The Piaomiao Fairy Palace Cup Game Design Grand Prix has started again, and this time the proposition is somewhat beyond everyone's expectations, that is, "horror game".

Compared with foreign countries, the game industry of Shending Kingdom started relatively late, and with the influence of various horror movies and TV series abroad, it is still relatively ahead in horror games.

The horror games of the Divine Ding Kingdom are for various reasons. They are still in the stage of imitating and drawing on foreign horror games. Therefore, many horror games cannot give players a sense of horror.

Even Xun Ze's "Destiny" was just a bit scary at the beginning. Now players go into the haunted house and go home, so naturally they will not feel any creepy fear.

Especially after Xun Ze opened the game permissions so that players could create their own MODs, some people even held birthday parties of dozens or even hundreds of people in the haunted house. How could such "Destiny" be scary?

If "Destiny" is still because of the player's own "wisdom" that it makes a horror game into a social game, then some domestic horror games have gone astray from the beginning. They can only be said to be covered with a layer of horror game skin. In the end, not only can't make players feel scared, but they are also a bit funny.

It is estimated that Piaomiao Immortal Palace also wants to change this point and make the game types of Shending Kingdom develop as comprehensively as possible, so it sets the proposition of this Grand Prix as a "horror game".

Although Xun Ze is a little interested in participating in this design grand prix, returning to his original intention and allowing players to feel the charm of horror games, he probably is not "qualified" to participate this time.

According to international practice, a game designer can be promoted to a five-star game designer by making a game with sales of more than 50 million copies and a score of 9 or above.

Free games need to be comprehensively considered from the number of downloads, the number of daily active players, and game ratings. If it is still a free online game, subsequent update quality, monthly flow and other standards need to be added.

In addition, this game designer must have experience in developing other large-scale games, and the performance of that large-scale game cannot be too bad.

Lan Fujie can become a five-star game designer with "Titans", and Xun Ze's "Overwatch" overturned "Titans".

In addition, "Tomb Raider" is a VR game, it has created many new ways of playing, and has also used the Best Game of the Year in Shending Kingdom and won the Best Game of the Year nomination of the Best Game of the Water Blue Star, which is in line with the prerequisites for promoting the five-star game design.

Now, as long as Piaomiao Fairy Palace conducts the final verification of Overwatch's data and everything is confirmed, Xun Ze can skip two levels in a row and become a five-star game designer.

The design grand prix is ​​generally aimed at Samsung game designers and below, as well as new game designers, four-star and five-star game designers often appear as judges or special guests.

"But to be more rigorous now, I am still a Samsung game designer. If I participate in this design Grand Prix, it seems that it is in line with the rules, right?"

However, in order to be on the safe side and to give face to Piaomiao Immortal Palace, Xun Ze still called the customer service number of Piaomiao Immortal Palace.

"Hello, Designer Xun, what can help you?" The customer service lady's voice was still beautiful and her tone was very enthusiastic, making people feel very comfortable when they heard it.

"Hello, I want to ask, am I still a Samsung game designer now?" Xun Ze asked.

"Please wait a moment." The customer service lady said after operating it on the computer: "Designer Xun, you are indeed a Samsung game designer now. Your five-star rating is still in progress. It should be completed within two months."

After all, it is also the top level among game designers. In addition, Xun Ze is still so young, in order to avoid being verbally quarrel, to be convinced, and to be responsible for Xun Ze and pave the way for Xun Ze's future development.

When Piaomiao Immortal Palace evaluated Xun Ze, it was more serious and rigorous, and it was reasonable to take longer. Xun Ze also expressed his understanding of this.

"Oh. OK. Thank you. Then there is no problem if I participate in this design Grand Prix?" Xun Ze asked with a smile.

The customer service lady was obviously stunned, but she quickly recovered and said, "Designer Xun, I have to ask the leader what he meant. Please give me some time."

"Okay. Thank you for your hard work."

After the call, Xun Ze looked relaxed. Anyway, even if he was unable to participate, he would not suffer any loss. Now even if he does not have the homepage recommendation of Piaomiao Immortal Palace, the game can still gain enough attention.

But the customer service lady was a little nervous. She had never heard of a quasi-five-star game designer who could participate in the design Grand Prix. In addition, this person was Xun Ze, so she quickly reported the matter.

When I just heard the report from the customer service lady, the people in Piaomiao Immortal Palace were also a little stunned.

"Is Xun Ze dissatisfied with our evaluation speed, so he wanted to use this to express his dissatisfaction?" Someone spoke in an office in Piaomiao Immortal Palace.

"Not for Xun Ze, becoming a five-star game designer is a sure thing. Even if you have to wait, at most you will only wait one more month or two. There is no need to throw a tantrum with us at this time." Another person said.

"Indeed, although Xun Ze is young, judging from his words and deeds since he entered the industry, he is not such an impatient and unaware of advancing and retreating. This young man is smart! There is no need to have an upset with us in this matter." Someone echoed.

The person who raised the suspicion at the beginning was also convinced. He nodded and said, "Since that's the case, why did Xun Ze participate in this design grand prix?"

"It might be a sudden idea!" The territory that had been listening to everyone's discussion suddenly spoke.

"Leader, what do you mean?" others asked one after another.

After picking up the thermos and drinking a sip of tea, the leader smiled and said, "Xun Ze's debut work "The Horror" is a horror game, but since then he has never made a new horror game, and the current "The Horror" is not very scary.

It just so happened that the design Grand Prix proposition was ‘horror game’, which aroused Xun Ze’s interest, or he wanted to take the opportunity to prove himself again in the horror game.

In addition, he asked us first, instead of quietly signing up for the competition, he still gave us enough face. Therefore, I think he is not expressing his dissatisfaction, but just simply itchy hands."

"You're the leader, you can see thoroughly!" others echoed.

"Since he has this interest, let him participate. However, he is also a quasi-five-star game designer. If he competes with the "schools" for rewards, it will be a bit of a degradation of latitude.

Let me tell Xun that he can participate in this competition, but at most he can only let his game be exhibited on the competition page. Even if his game is the first, he cannot get the rewards of the competition. It is better to give more opportunities to those who need it more!"

"Okay. Leader, I'll let someone communicate with Xun Ze."

The leader nodded and smiled and said, "Actually, Xun Ze is good at participating. It can make him the catfish in the catfish effect, add some vitality to other participating game designers, and save them from making any strange horror games."

"It's true!"

After receiving a reply from the customer service lady, Xun Ze also said that there was no problem. He just wanted to return to his original intention and bring a surprise to the players. It doesn’t matter what he rewarded.
Chapter completed!
