It was signed "Games and Virtual Reality Technology Committee" yesterday.
Chen Mo's mouth twitched.
Isn't this an official document?
Even the punctuation marks were filled with a strong bureaucratic tone!
Moreover, what is this "Games and Virtual Reality Technology Committee"? There was no such department in Chen Mo's previous life!
Chen Mo had always used the video game engine to make games, so he didn't pay much attention to the relationship between the video game engine, the app store, and the related departments.
Chen Mo finally understood after looking it up on the internet.
This "Games and Virtual Reality Technology Committee", or "Game Committee" for short, was an official department under the Ministry of Culture. It had a lot of power, and basically controlled the entire video game industry.
Why was there such a department?
The emergence of virtual reality technology made every country aware of the development prospects of this technology. For example, soldiers could train in a VR world, which was both safe and cost effective.
Virtual reality technology wasn't only used for games, but it was also invaluable in other areas.
However, to use the video game engine to create a complete virtual reality world, it still had to be done by the designers.
Therefore, this "Game Committee" was created.
The reason why the world placed so much importance on the video game industry wasn't because of "artistic considerations", but because the video game industry would promote the development of virtual reality technology, and virtual reality technology could be used in many other areas.
As such, the status of the designers would also rise.
The Game Committee represented the relevant departments in the country. They gathered the best researchers in the country to create the Fantasy Editor for the designers to use. They also created a rating system to allow the designers to grow and eventually enter the VR industry to create virtual reality games.
The official app store was also part of the Game Committee. Twenty percent of the revenue from the app store would be given to the Game Committee for daily expenses and research.
At this point, Chen Mo understood.
Why Lin Mao told him to take this seriously? Because this event was organized by the Game Committee! This was the relevant department of the relevant departments!
If the game was done well and the game was promoted by the official platform, it might even appear on the news. Wouldn't the game's popularity skyrocket?
"You really don't let me rest well."
Chen Mo had planned to rest for two days, but he was back to work so soon.
The event seemed to have plenty of time, but there was only one season, which was three months! This event, Chen Chen Chen Chen of Game, of Chen Chen of, and Chen had of Of Of Games, Gaming, and had of Chen of Chen of the of the Chen of Games.
Since he was going to participate in the selection, he would definitely aim for first place.
"A China themed game? You want to teach and entertain?
Chen Mo had a few China themed games in his mind, but he wasn't sure which one he wanted to make. After some consideration, Chen Mo decided to meet with Lin Mao first.
…
Chen Mo and Lin Mao were eating skewers in a barbeque shop.
The two hadn't seen each other for a while. Chen Mo had been busy with the game and didn't have much time to spare. The two of them chatted casually as a way to relax and relieve stress.
Lin Mao asked, "Did you see the announcement?"
Chen Mo nodded, "Yep, I did. But I haven't really thought of what game I want to make. "
Lin Mao said, "It's fine, take your time. This event isn't mandatory. If you have your own plans, you don't have to participate. You're good at Western Fantasy after all. If you don't feel comfortable making a China themed game, then there's no need for you to put in the effort. "
Chen Mo picked up a string of tendons from the table, "I really want to make something like that. The few games I've made since I entered the industry have all been related to Western Fantasy. I've never made a China themed game. "
Lin Mao said, "It'd be great if you want to do it, and it'd be great if you could get a good placing. The recommendation spots are secondary, the main thing is to show your face in front of the Game Committee. That's more important. "
Chen Mo was shocked, "Huh? That's the most important thing? "
Lin Mao said, "What do you think? They're in charge of the entire video game industry. Of course, we're not talking about what happens if we offend them, and there's no need to offend them. Let's just say that if you can make them pay attention to you, it'd be very important for your future development. "
Chen Mo nodded, "Yep, that sounds about right. Then I'll have to prepare myself and try to get first place. "
Lin Mao waved his hand, "Don't even think about first place, second or third would be good enough."
Chen Mo was confused, "Why?"
Lin Mao said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not questioning your ability. The main thing is time. The event only lasts for three months, which means you have to make the game in three months. "
Chen Mo nodded, "Yeah, didn't the others get three months too?"
Lin Mao shook his head, "Of course not! Big companies like Emperor Dynasty Entertainment and Zen Entertainment have their own people who are well-informed. They'd know about this a month or two ago. How can you compete with them when they have a whole month or two more than you? "
Chen Mo was shocked, "What? You can do that? "
Lin Mao said, "Why not? It's not like it's a secret in the Game Committee. As long as you know the people, it's easy to get wind of it. Only designers like us would know about this after the announcement. "
Chen Mo said in frustration, "I'm speechless, is there any fairness in this event?"
