Chapter 8 Is This the Reason You Score Points?

Lin Hai's speech was much more slippery, obviously not offending both ends. In fact, he did not have a particularly clear attitude.

The audience began to whisper.

Shi Huazhe's words still played a role. A senior designer opposed a game so clearly, and he said it well. Many viewers were also shaken, and began to doubt whether such a game is really worth recommending?

And Lin Hai's speech seems to be fair, but it is actually useless. The audience forgot what he said as soon as they turned their heads, but what Shi Huazhe said will always be remembered by the audience.

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

If Lin Hai jumped out against "flappybird" again, his situation would be very embarrassing. The attitude of the two judges is enough to influence a large number of audiences, and Lin Hai occupies a neutral position, which is neither good nor bad.

Still, don't take it lightly.

It is the turn of the youngest judge, Qiu Hengyang. One of the other two judges is firmly opposed, and the other is neutral. His attitude will determine the fate of this game to some extent.

Qiu Hengyang turned on the microphone and pondered for a moment before saying, "I have a different opinion from Teacher Shi Huazhe about this game."

Chen Mo couldn't help but be stunned, what, this guy wants to speak for me? Could it be that his vision is more unique than those two, and can he see what is special about this game?

Shi Huazhe also had an incredible look on his face, staring at Qiu Hengyang, wanting to see what he was going to say.

Qiu Hengyang said: "I wanted to give this game an 8 out of 10 before knowing the live data, but after knowing the live data, I think I can give it a nine. Of course, this rating is related to the Nineteen other games in comparison."

"In other words, this first place is well deserved."

The audience was in an uproar!

What the hell, nine points? percent system?

Judging from Qiu Hengyang's tone and demeanor, it was obvious that it was nine points out of ten.

There are a lot of people in the audience who love to play "flappybird", but they love to play and they also know that this game is shoddy. A score of seven is very good, and a score of nine is too exaggerated, right?

Qiu Hengyang ignored the surprise of the audience and continued: "Don't feel strange, this is the difference between a professional game designer and an ordinary player's perspective."

"What you see is a small game with a simple style and a single gameplay, but what I see is a sincere game with exquisite design and advanced thinking!"

"Why do I say that? Please listen to my explanation."

The audience present were attracted by Qiu Hengyang. Many audiences were very curious. How did Qiu Hengyang blow this game so magically?

There will be live broadcasts and videos of this competition. If Qiu Hengyang is talking nonsense,

That would be humiliating in the game circle!

Qiu Hengyang said: "Next, I want to ask you a few questions, you don't need to answer, just think silently in your heart."

"The first question, you all said that the style of this game is very simple, so let me ask you, do you think this little bird is really ugly? Or, do you think this little bird is a little stupid, it looks like it's flying and falling. Is it funny to look dead?"

"Second question, has anyone roughly calculated the speed of the bird's natural fall? After the finger clicks, what is the height of the bird's upward flight?"

"The third question, why after gameover, just click on the screen to start immediately? Why does this very simple game need to have leaderboards and networking functions?"

"The fourth question, have you noticed the advertisement column on the gameover screen?"

"Let's think about these questions carefully."

After Qiu Hengyang finished speaking, he deliberately turned off the microphone to give the audience a few minutes to think.

The audience immediately discussed it.

These people are game lovers. They are interested in some aspects of the game, and they like to study it. In addition, most of these audiences are addicted to "flappybird", so these questions from Qiu Hengyang make the audience They all think.

Chen Mo was a little surprised, because Qiu Hengyang's questions basically hit all the key points of the game, which was incredible in Chen Mo's view.

After all, the game design concept in 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, rather than rudely attributed it to "luck" and other reasons, which is the most important thing for a game designer in Chen Mo's opinion. quality.

Based on this alone, Chen Mo has no doubt that if he throws Qiu Hengyang into his past life, he will still be a very good game designer.

Qiu Hengyang felt that the audience had almost thought about it, and continued: "Everyone should have a vague feeling, so congratulations, you have taken the first step, and welcome to the designer's thinking field."

"The first question, is the style of this game really bad?"

"Everyone looks at this bird, what's your first impression? Stupid? Cute? Stupid? Stupid? Everyone pay attention, this is a pixel style game, the lines and colors used for the whole bird are very simple, but, big eyes + Sausage mouth + small wings, it is not an easy thing to directly outline the image of a stupid bird."

"Moreover, the image of this bird is very consistent with the content of the game. The stupidity of the bird effectively dilutes the frustration of losing the game, and even makes you feel that the bird is stupid rather than you, right?"

As soon as Qiu Hengyang's voice fell, there was a burst of laughter in the arena.

Qiu Hengyang continued: "The second question, why do I ask the bird's falling speed and the flying height after clicking? It's very simple. These are two key numerical elements, which are directly related to the difficulty of this game."

"If the fall is too fast and the ascent is too high, then the game will be very difficult, and most people will not score more than double digits. Then, the frustration of this game is very strong, and most people will not score more than double digits. won't play for long."

"But what about the other way around? This game will become too simple again, most people can score a few points, and soon players will realize that this game is very boring, very boring, and will also give up quickly."

"So, in my opinion, the numerical design of this game is very clever, it has well grasped this balance point, making this game difficult and abusive, so that most people can't get high scores, but Gives you a little more hope, so that you can always have a fluke to keep trying."

"The third question, the designers of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com deliberately designed the gameover screen to be very simple. One click will start over, just to reduce unnecessary steps and allow you to quickly restart the next game. In the constant repetition, you become numb to the gameover thing, and you can't even feel the passage of time."

"As for the networking and ranking functions, in my opinion, it is the finishing touch of this game. If there is no networking function, its data will be one third of what it is now, or even less."

"Why? Because of this kind of game, only by comparison can your score be meaningful. Otherwise, even if you score 100 points or 1,000 points, what's the point of not showing off to others?"

"When I'm talking about showing off, I don't mean to show it to others with my phone, but to show it to all players who have played this game directly through the leaderboard - look, how amazing I am! How many of you here are the same as me? Scored?"

A large audience raised their hands.

Qiu Hengyang nodded: "That's what I said, networking and ranking functions are the finishing touches of this game!"

An audience member in the front row said loudly, "Mr. Qiu, is this why you signed your own name after scoring 39 points?"

The scene burst into laughter.
