The alarm went off.
Chen Mo turned it off with a tap.
"I had a nightmare, the system suddenly turned into a boss and enslaved all of humanity, and I led humanity to fight back …"
"This f * cking plot is too lame. He must have wanted to do 'The Terminator' last night. What you think about in the day, you dream about at night …"
Chen Mo yawned and took a sip of water from the glass by the bedside.
The curtains opened automatically, letting in the blinding sunlight. J.A.R.V.I.S. started reporting the weather in a calm voice.
"The weather in the Imperial Capital is great today, the highest temperature is thirty-three degrees Celsius, the lowest is twenty-five degrees Celsius, the overall temperature is forty-seven degrees Celsius, the air quality is excellent, the humidity is forty-three percent, the UV rays are strong, the heat index is as hot as a dog."
Chen Mo sat up unwillingly, "Why would a tycoon like you go out in this weather? Can anyone tell me why? "
He looked to the side. Li Jingsi was already awake, probably making breakfast.
J.A.R.V.I.S. replied, "Probably because … you're the host of the video game design competition today?"
J.A.R.V.I.S. replied, "Shut up, you talk too much."
J.A.R.V.I.S. felt wronged, "You asked first."
J.A.R.V.I.S. said, "… I think there's a need to make an AI version 0. What do you think about calling it Keavis?"
J.A.R.V.I.S., "(= ′ k` =)"
After washing up, he went to the dining room. Breakfast was already prepared.
Chen Mo ate two slices of bread and looked at his watch, "I'm heading out."
Li Jingsi frowned, "So early? Who set this damned time? "
"… Myself," said Chen Mo.
Li Jingsi was speechless.
Chen Mo said helplessly, "Sweating on a hot day like this, it's my own fault."
Li Jingsi laughed and asked while sipping her coffee, "So, it's time for the finals, right? I think the theme of the competition is a horror game? "
Chen Mo nodded, "Yes, a horror game. But none of the demos I saw last time really caught my eye. "
Li Jingsi smiled. "Making your eyes light up? That's asking too much."
Chen Mo stood up after eating his fill, "I'm heading out. I'll probably be back at night, don't wait for me for lunch."
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he felt that Jarvis wasn't lying when he said that his body temperature was 47 degrees Celsius.
Fortunately, the moment he stepped out of the door, he stepped into the car. The heating time was less than a minute.
I arrived at Thunderbolt Entertainment HQ and took the staff elevator from the underground carpark. I met up with the staff and made some preparations before heading to the main venue.
The Video Game Design Competition was held at Thunderbolt Entertainment's headquarters. The Video Game Design Competition had given Thunderbolt Entertainment quite a few outstanding video game designers, many of whom were already working on Oasis.
For many young people who were interested in entering the game industry, the Game Design Competition had become the most important event every year. It was even more important than any international company's job fair.
Thunderbolt Entertainment's Video Game Design Competition was held twice a year. It was aimed at freshmen and experienced video game designers, with different standards.
The design competition this time was open to students of the corresponding year, and it was the graduation season in July. Needless to say, the weather reminded Chen Mo of many years ago, when he participated in the video game design competition right after he graduated.
Chen Mo suddenly remembered why he set the time so early, it was because he was afraid of the heat …
What he was thinking at the time was that it wouldn't be as hot as it used to be if the competition started at eight in the morning.
Now that he thought about it, it was a stupid idea.
Why did Chen Mo make such a mistake? It was obviously because he had been working at ten for a long time, and didn't know that eight in the Imperial Capital was this hot …
Now that the Video Game Design Competition was in its final stages, the freshmen, or prospective video game designers, had been busy preparing for the finals for a week.
In this week, they were all staying in nearby hotels. During the day, they would come to Thunderbolt Entertainment HQ's specially prepared venue to create their own games using the game editor and materials prepared by the company.
Today was the day the awards would be announced. Whether or not they could win the favor of the judges would directly determine whether or not they could enter the video game industry, and whether or not they could get a higher starting point.
Some of the more outstanding video game designers might even have the chance to work on Oasis. This was something they could brag about for the rest of their lives.
Game introduction.
Audience demo.
Judges comments.
The theme of the Video Game Design Competition this time was horror games, so the materials prepared by the company were mainly horror games.
All sorts of hideous monsters, ghosts, scary sceneries, large amounts of blood, as well as music and sound effects that would make people go crazy if they listened to it for too long …
The video game designers could use whatever they wanted.
It was the same for every Video Game Design Competition. The video game designers would use the art library, so they didn't have to worry about using the same art. There was a wide range of choices.
The effect of this was instant. It was obvious that the number of people in the audience was less than half of what they wanted to experience …
The big screen was introducing the video game designers' works, and the locations were all different. There were schools, hospitals, cemeteries, haunted houses, abandoned cities, etc. The audience was so scared that they didn't know which game they should experience.
The game genre was still traditional VR games, the kind that used consciousness signals. There wasn't a need to prepare heavy VR gaming pods, they could just use the latest Matrix glasses to experience the game.
Although the lack of feeling and the lack of neural connection were the drawbacks of traditional VR, it was actually a good thing for the players in the audience.
Screams could be heard from the audience as they entered the live audience. Many of the audience members took off their helmets to get some fresh air after playing for a while, obviously scared out of their wits.
Chen Mo was also wearing his helmet, silently starting from the first game and going through all the video games.
After that was the voting, data analysis, and judges' comments.
Player comments and voting were mainly based on two aspects. One was the scare factor of the game, and the other was the quality of the game.
The data analysis was based on the data collected by the Matrix glasses, such as the average time the player spent in the game, the scare factor, and the changes in their emotions.
Whether a horror game was good or not, one of the most important factors was the creation of the atmosphere and the control of the players' emotions. This could be shown through data.
