Shi Huazhe didn't say anything. Although Qiu Hengyang was his junior, they were both B-grade video game designers, and Qiu Hengyang was still active in the research and development field. It wouldn't look good for either of them if they fought. Moreover, Shi Huazhe felt that he wouldn't be able to win against Qiu Hengyang.
Therefore, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and keep quiet.
The emcee also felt that the atmosphere between the three judges was a little strange, and quickly said, "Alright, thank you for your wonderful comments. In my opinion, there's no such thing as a game that everyone likes. Some people like it, some people don't. That's normal. There's no right or wrong, and the final decision lies in the hands of the audience. Now, let's move on to the second round of recommendations. "
The emcee smoothed things over, and Shi Huazhe's face looked a little better.
In the next segment, the audience could make another round of recommendations. However, it was obvious that the focus was on Flappybird and Hunter Island.
There was no way any other game could surpass Flappybird, and it all depended on how many recommendations Hunter Island could get.
The audience was hesitating.
"Which one are you voting for?"
"I think Mr. Shi is right. Isn't Flappybird a little too simple? Does it really deserve to be the champion? "
"Then are you voting for Hunter Island?"
"Sigh, it's hard to say. Although I think Hunter Island put more effort into making it, it's not as fun as Flappybird. "
"Then why are you hesitating? Qiu Hengyang has a point, I'm voting for Flappybird anyway. "
"Then I'll vote for Flappybird too."
"Go ahead, I can't be the only one who gets abused."
Soon, the new round of data came out.
Flappybird had 1037 recommendations!
Hunter Island recommendation count: 537!
Hunter Island needed 128 recommendations to surpass Flappybird for it to have a chance at first place. It was obviously hopeless.
Moreover, Flappybird had received another 500 recommendations in the second round. It was basically a crushing defeat!
The host said, "Alright, the final results are out. According to the rules, Flappybird has proven the audience's love for it with both playtime and number of recommendations. However, we still need to hear the opinions of the three judges. If all three judges agree that it can't get first place, then unfortunately, we'll have to disqualify it."
"Three judges, what do you think?"
The host looked at the three judges.
Shi Huazhe and Lin Hai did not speak.
In order to reject the game, all three judges had to oppose it unanimously. Qiu Hengyang's attitude was very clear. Even if Shi Huazhe and Lin Hai objected, it would not work, so they tactfully kept quiet.
Qiu Hengyang took the microphone and said, "I approve of this game. I think it deserves to win first place in this competition."
The host nodded and said, "Alright! The winner of this competition has been decided, and that is Designer No.7's' Flappybird '! "
"Next, let's welcome designer number seven to the stage to receive your award. You will receive three hundred thousand RMB in research and development, a D-grade video game designer qualification, and a personal experience store. Congratulations!"
Chen Mo stood up from his seat and walked towards the stage.
The audience and contestants were all watching, wanting to see what kind of person the creator of this insane game was.
Perhaps half of the audience wanted to pull on Chen Mo's hair and ask, "Do you have a sociopathic personality? Why did you make such a masochistic game? Why?! "
Of course, it was just a thought.
Much to everyone's surprise, Chen Mo's reaction was very calm. There wasn't any excitement on his face, as if he had expected this to happen.
Going up on stage to receive the award was just a formality for him.
"Congratulations."
The host shook hands with Chen Mo and handed the trophy to Chen Mo.
"A staff member will contact you after you leave the stage to transfer the prize money to your account. As for the experience store, please discuss the details with the staff. "
Chen Mo nodded.
The host said loudly, "Then, let's give a big round of applause to designer number seven, Chen Mo!"
The applause from the audience was thunderous, and the cameras from the surrounding reporters were flashing non-stop. Bai Ye held the trophy and very cooperatively put on a polite smile.
At this moment, a voice was heard.
"Ahem, host, can I say a few words?"
The host was shocked and turned around to see that it was Shi Huazhe.
What's the meaning of this?
The host hesitated. According to the process, the competition was already over, and the reviews were already given. What else was there to say?
However, since Shi Huazhe had brought it up, there was no reason not to let him speak. The host nodded and said, "Of course, please go ahead."
The applause gradually stopped, and the audience wondered what Shi Huazhe was going to say.
Shi Huazhe cleared his throat and said to Chen Mo, "First of all, congratulations on winning first place."
Chen Mo nodded, "Thank you."
Shi Huazhe continued, "As someone who's been through it, I'd like to share some of my experiences with you. Do you want to hear it?"
Chen Mo smiled and nodded, "Please go ahead."
Shi Huazhe said, "I think that young man has a unique way of thinking, and the way you think about making games is very unique. That's very impressive. However, making games isn't just about having ideas. Sometimes having too many ideas can be the bane of your life.
"Making games has to be down-to-earth, down-to-earth. Making games that rely on loopholes can only be popular for a while, but not forever.
"Let's take your game as an example. I still hold the same opinion. You didn't bring any emotion or happiness to the audience. Instead, you relied on triggering their negative emotions to keep them playing. I despise that."
"I hope you can turn back from the wrong path as soon as possible. Don't go further and further down the wrong path because of this award. That will only harm you, do you understand?"
As soon as Shi Huazhe said this, the atmosphere in the audience didn't feel quite right.
Although it was all pompous words, the underlying meaning was clear. He was saying that Chen Mo's game only became popular because of loopholes, scheming, and luck. If he made another similar game, he would definitely fail.
Obviously, Shi Huazhe couldn't just let it go. He couldn't just go against Qiu Hengyang, nor could he admit that he was wrong. That was why he had to teach Chen Mo a lesson.
Going against Qiu Hengyang had its risks. If Qiu Hengyang's temper flared up and they started a fight, Shi Huazhe might not be able to get the upper hand. However, going against Chen Mo had no risk. As a beginner designer, the most he could do was nod and say, "Thank you, sir, for your guidance." Even if he had something to say, he could only hold it in.
