Chen Mo heard someone call out to him as soon as he entered the venue, it was Qiu Hengyang.
"You're here too," Chen Mo greeted him.
Qiu Hengyang nodded, "Yeah, I wanted to tell you about it, but we just happened to bump into each other. I saw the news a couple of days ago, you're quite something, making a small game into big news. "
Chen Mo laughed, "It's not big news, it's just that the convention was pretty boring, so I made a small game to have some fun. It's my first time attending an award ceremony, why don't you introduce me? "
Qiu Hengyang nodded, "Of course, come with me."
The two chatted as they walked.
Chen Mo asked, "I heard your new game is doing quite well, is it an A grade game now?"
Qiu Hengyang nodded, "Yeah, but it took me four to five years to get from B grade to A grade, unlike you who only took a year to get there. It's like you're on steroids, how many games have you made? Warcraft, Wulin Legend, Onmyoji, Anipop, four games in a year, that's unparalleled in the Chinese video game industry. "
Chen Mo immediately said, "Warcraft started last October, it's been half a year, don't put it in this year's list of games. Moreover, Warcraft is the only one that's worth mentioning, the rest are all small productions. "
Qiu Hengyang laughed, "That's pretty fast, it's mainly because your games have been getting great reviews."
The two chatted as they walked into the venue.
Qiu Hengyang introduced as they walked, "Today and tomorrow will be a few conferences and talks. Most of the talks were arranged by the Game Committee."
Chen Mo asked, "Do you have a talk?"
Qiu Hengyang shook his head, "Me? I'm still far from qualified. Those who can give a talk here are all S-grade video game designers, and they all have at least one or two classic VR games under their belt. "
"Of course, you can give talks for classic games as well. With your achievements in mobile games this year, you definitely have the right to hold a small talk. But I'm guessing you haven't been appointed as an honorary committee member yet, and the Game Committee doesn't know much about you, so they didn't make any arrangements. "
Chen Mo said, "I don't really want to talk about it."
Qiu Hengyang smiled. "Actually, it's good to talk more. After all, as a designer, one's imagination is limited. You can only create more sparks by communicating with others."
"Which lecture do you want to attend?"
Chen Mo looked around. There were quite a lot of lectures in this place. There were more than ten lectures today, with an average of two hours per lecture. There were two or three lectures at the same time, so he had to pick the ones he wanted to listen to.
If you don't want to listen to the lecture, you can go to the exchange meeting. Gatherings were organized and attended on their own. Usually, only designers of similar genres would attend the same event.
Chen Mo thought for a bit, "Let's go to the lecture."
Chen Mo didn't want to go to the conference and argue with the other designers, it was better to listen to the lectures.
There were three upcoming lectures: "The Use of Lighting and Scenery in Game Levels", "Casual Game Design Philosophy and Experience Sharing", and "How to Create a High-Quality VR Shooting Game".
Qiu Hengyang said, "Do you want to listen to some casual games?"
Chen Mo was speechless. "What's so good about casual games? I'll tell you if you want."
Qiu Hengyang laughed, "That's true, it's a bit unfair for you to listen to other people talk about casual games. After all, your Plants vs Zombies and Anipop are both at the top of the casual games leaderboards."
Chen Mo thought for a bit, "Do you want to listen to VR Shooting Games?"
Qiu Hengyang nodded, "Sure, although we can't make VR games right now, we'll have to in the future. It's good to listen to it in advance."
There were quite a few people who came to listen to the lecture, and they were all B-grade and above video game designers. Everyone was dressed very formally and sat up straight.
Most of the seats in the front were already taken, so Chen Mo and Qiu Hengyang could only find a seat at the back.
The main speaker was an S-grade video game designer from Zen Entertainment, Ran He. His Raging Assault was one of the best VR Shooting Games in China, and was quite popular in the Chinese video game industry.
"I'm very honored to be able to share some of my thoughts on Raging Assault with everyone in this special occasion.
"Regarding VR FPS games, our design concepts are still slightly behind the West's. Therefore, this lecture can only be considered a sharing of experiences, I hope it can give everyone some inspiration.
"First of all, FPS games have always been a genre with a relatively high barrier to entry, and VR FPS games are even more so. This is because in the virtual world, we have to create a realistic gunfight environment. If we don't create a good atmosphere, the players will feel that it's not real and exciting. Then our game won't be able to compete with other FPS games.
"In this lecture, I hope to talk about how to develop a high-quality VR game from the three aspects of 'environment', 'guns', and 'gameplay'."
"First of all, for the environment, we have to choose a suitable location and story as this will affect the tone of the game, as well as the player's intuition …"
Ran He was quite straightforward, and his words were fluent, making it easy to understand. However, Chen Mo could tell that he wasn't going to talk about the essence and core of the design. He was going to talk about the deeper parts, but not the core.
This way, the designers who came to the lecture would be able to learn something, but they wouldn't steal the most important parts, which would threaten Ran He.
The lecture lasted for close to two hours. Ran He talked a lot, and answered a few questions at the end. The audience gave him a big round of applause when the lecture ended.
Qiu Hengyang asked Chen Mo as he clapped, "How was it, did you learn anything?"
Chen Mo replied, "It was alright, at least it was better than going to a lecture about casual games."
Qiu Hengyang laughed, "It's almost lunchtime, let's go eat."
There was a buffet in the venue, and all the designers could eat as they pleased. Chen Mo and Qiu Hengyang each took their own food, and found a seat by the window.
As soon as he sat down, Chen Mo heard someone calling out to him.
"Chen Mo?"
Chen Mo looked up and was shocked. Isn't that Saury?
I saw him at the Magic Games Expo last time, why am I seeing him again at this award ceremony?
Saury didn't stand on ceremony, and sat down next to the two of them with his plate.
Chen Mo was a bit confused, "Isn't this event only for designers?"
Saury nodded, "Yep."
Chen Mo asked, "Then how did you get in? I don't think there's a song and dance performance for this award ceremony, right? "
Saury giggled, "No."
