343 What mistakes did the game maker make?

The independent game developer conference that Lin Huan wants to attend is called IPA. It has been held for ten consecutive sessions so far. Although the domestic game industry environment is very complex and the influence of the works produced in the competition is very small, it has been held firmly. In recent years, with the popularity of the Sbeam platform, its popularity and attention have gradually increased, and the scale of the competition has also expanded. This year, the competition prize pool has accumulated even reached 5 million, which is used for the research and development of independent game products. This is unimaginable for the dog-head production team whose expenses are almost only below four digits (not counting the outsourcing costs of Youma).

The International Exhibition Center where the conference is located is a very far away from the city center, at the terminal station along a remote subway line. The exhibition starts at 9 am, and the dog-head production team gets up at 5 am and prepares to take the earliest subway to the exhibition center.

“…Is there so many people in our production team?”

Lin Huan, Aiyi, Xia Mo and Abobo were walking together. They took a lot of time to wake up Xia Mo, so they were the last ones to arrive. When they arrived, they met Su Feiyue from Manyan Club, Xia Shiyu from the Student Union, Liang Xinyue from the News Department, and Haruka from Amano High School.

"The COS server is provided by our department, and I want to help provide guidance." Feiyue had a very good reason, and Lin Huan was not easy to argue. She seemed to be looking around, not knowing whether she was looking for Xia Mo who was reluctant to show her true presence.

"I... I was arranged by the ministers. They said that if your works won the award, the Supernatural Observation Society will become our second Manyan Society in our school." Xinyue was a little indifferent when she said this, and Lin Huan asked, "Since the Ministry of Information thinks this matter is very important, why don't they come here and send you one?"

"I... ministers probably won't get up."

Lin Huan sighed silently, it would be okay if he couldn't get up.

"I have no other reason..."

Qinghua took Xixiao's arm before Lin Huan asked, "Xixiao invited me, I'll come and have a look. Maybe I can help."

Although it is reasonable, is your relationship with Xi Xiao so close?

Thinking of the scene when she met her in high school, it really feels like a different life...

"Since we are all together, then..."

"Wait, wait a moment!" Xia Shiyu talked for a long time, and when she saw Lin Huan ignored her, she was so angry that she was so angry that she came, "Why don't you ask me the reason?"

"If it's not for Senior Lu Mingxue who admires you, then it's on behalf of the student union to come to review the discipline, otherwise what else?"

"You, you," Xia Shiyu's face turned red, "You are right..."

Suddenly I felt inexplicably ashamed.

And this sense of shame was brought to him by this kobold.

But compared to the first time I saw him, this guy seemed to have changed a lot.

It was obvious that the background board that could not tell the back as soon as it passed by, but now it is a bit unforgettable.

Why is this change... Could it be that I...

Xia Shiyu searched for the records about Lin Huan in the notebook and silently copied some information behind.

The subway trip was very long, but Lin Huan and his group were sitting in the car, so it was quite comfortable. Xia Mo leaned on Lin Huan's shoulder and slept very comfortably. Lin Huan was dozing off, of course, but he had no place to lean on. He was squinting his eyes and trying to sleep with his head tilted down, but he was woken up by Lu Mingxue who was walking by himself.

"Hmm...what?"

"I learned about the IPA conference process. Our game will not be able to participate in the evaluation at 4 pm. Before that, it was a booth roadshow. I said this part before and will be explained by you; but I temporarily had a new idea."

"A temporary change of mind, isn't this your style?"

"First of all, you have to understand that the purpose of our participation this time is to gain the most sense of presence, so whether to win the championship or not is that much." Lu Mingxue said lightly, "You want to become a star in the venue, so you can't show up like this, you can't accumulate much sense of presence."

"...Okay, what did you say you asked me to do."

There are a total of 50 entries in this IPA competition, and among these 50 games, there are more than half of them. This challenge element game includes confrontation, racing, passing levels and other content. Studios with these elements have set up challenge rewards in order to attract more players to try; this form is similar to the gameplay of Carnival, the more challenges you complete, the richer prizes you can get.

"So, let Gou Huan smash the situation." After listening to the background situation introduced by Lu Mingxue, Apopo told the secret in one sentence, "pass all those challenging projects."

"I heard Xia Mo talk about your abilities before, so there should be no problem, right?"

"Uh..." Lin Huan showed a embarrassed expression, "I seem to have endured additional expectations..."

"By the way... Speaking of which, your childhood sweetheart, Shinai, will you come here?" Fei Yue explained, "I have to let her try on the COS server I have prepared..."

"Ah...she should have gotten in the car, I'll ask again."

Now that the subway has arrived at the terminal station, everyone got off the subway together, followed Lu Mingxue along the road, and easily found the International Convention and Exhibition Center near the subway.

As mentioned before, the attention and capital investment of this IPA competition are unprecedented. Many of our independent games are close to the investment in commercial development. These small-scale RM works of the Kobster Production Group were difficult to pass the shortlisted review, and the judges praised it very well. It was from the large amount of original paintings CG bonuses of Ma Xuanxuan. Lin Huan later learned about the prices of those original paintings for those board painting designs. Based on Ma Xuanxuan's painting level, a pair can be sold at least 500+. Overall, Ma Xuanxuan's free labor saved at least 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, but even if this cost is counted, it is difficult to compare with other independent game studios, whether it is the sincerity or experience spent.

Lin Huan and the others looked around the venue. There were basically no high school students of their age, and they were young people over 20 years old. They were dressed very strangely, full of mature artistic atmosphere, and some even had big beards that were not in line with their age. It is hard to say how much proportion of college students are here. Lu Mingxue, who was originally a good guide, took the booth diagram and took everyone around several times before finding the booth of "I don't need it". This was in a corner of the northwest corner of the venue, which was very remote from the entrance or the booth.

"Ah, why is our booth so remote?!"

Xia Mo rubbed her sleepy eyes and complained loudly. Lin Huan asked Lu Mingxue to organize the establishment of a booth. After using the excuse of going to the bathroom, he pulled Xia Mo to the corridor outside the bathroom.

"It's time for you to show up, and now everyone is asking about your whereabouts."

"Ah...it's better a little early," Xia Mo stretched, "I'll wait for the roadshow to--"

"No need to wait for the roadshow, today..." Lin Huan paused, "Today you can always feel that the exhibition ends with existence."

"Wow! No! So generous!" Xia Mo opened her eyes in surprise, but the light quickly dimmed, "But there is no need to... After all, I can't explain my girlfriend clearly. Lin Yun'er thought I was your girlfriend. Everyone else knew that Xi Xiao was your recognized girlfriend."

"Don't care about such small things, and..." Lin Huan paused, "I still have to do what I did last carnival to attract a sense of presence."

So Lin Huan explained Lu Mingxue's strategy. Xia Mo was very excited after hearing this, "That's OK, I happened to go with you, let those dog-headed people who are bald and unable to find a girlfriend when they play games are envious and cry!"
