You said you were going to make games, how did you become the richest man without doing anything?

Chapter 176 Action Game Development Competition

Chapter 176 Action Game Development Competition (Please Order)

"What the hell is this Tianzun Cup?" Lu Yu frowned and wanted to push it away.

Lin Ying explained:
"Mr. Lu, the Tianzun Cup is one of the most prestigious action game development competitions in our country.

When you look at the name of its governing body, you will know that this competition has official support and endorsement.
Its organizer, the China Electronic Sports League, is also an industry association with a very long history.

The members of this association are all manufacturers with great achievements in the field of e-sports games.
Their games include League of Legends, Glory of the Overlords, CS:GO, APEX Legends, etc...

This alliance has a very high entry threshold, but once we join the alliance, our games will be able to open the door to e-sports events and even have our games selected for the Asian Games.

Moreover, the name of this competition comes from the co-organizer Capcom, who is known as the Action God in the gaming industry..."

Lu Yu yawned and lost interest.

E-sports events?

It sounds like it would be extremely troublesome, and I'm afraid it would drag the company into a deeper internal hell.

Liu Mengyuan beside him looked very interested and asked Lin Ying to continue explaining the rules of the competition.

"This development carnival does not focus on the commercial performance of the game, but on the scoring by professional judges and a panel of experienced players.

The participating companies will submit their self-developed games to the judges for evaluation, and then the judges and the players will vote.

The voting weight ratio of professional judges and senior players is 10:1.

The winner of the voting process will win directly.”

Lu Yu was shocked. It sounded a bit like a cooking competition.

Liu Mengyuan continued to ask: "If we participate in this competition, can we get any benefits?"

"The winning game will be featured on the gaming platforms and official website of all member companies of the alliance for two consecutive weeks.

Furthermore, the game can permanently use the title of "Action Master of the Year" on all promotional pages."

Lu Yu glanced at the list of alliance members: Tenghui, Youyi, Alibaba, Beautiful World, Shengju Network, Nanshanju...

Basically, it covers most of the benchmark companies in the industry.

Being able to receive continuous recommendations from these companies for half a month is indeed a very attractive reward. If converted into advertising purchase fees, it would be a sky-high price.

"It seems like I spent a lot of money on this award." Lu Yu sighed.

Lin Ying explained:

"Because our country started late in the field of action games and has made few achievements, there are very few e-sports events for action games. This is a blue ocean market that needs to be developed urgently.

So it seems that the eSports League is interested in supporting action games.”

Just as everyone was amazed at the reward, Lu Yu calmly asked the technical director Chu Xiong:

"Given the current technological level of our Taoyuan Township, what are the chances of winning the competition?"

Chu Xiong held up his fat chin and spoke frankly:

"Brother Lu, the development of action games pays great attention to details.

First is the physics engine. The physical movement of the characters and the environment needs to be very accurate.
Secondly, the character's movements should be natural and smooth, avoiding stiffness and frame freezing. The player's input should be reflected in the movement in a very timely manner. This is why many companies use motion capture technology.

The above two items greatly affect the so-called "feel".
When the character is hit, there needs to be obvious special effects, actions and sound feedback, which is the "feeling of impact".

The sense of impact and the feel of the hand are two very difficult hurdles to overcome in the development of action games. Any slight difference in details will lead to a huge difference in the final effect.

After listening to Chuxiong's analysis, the employees backed off again.

That’s right, if action games are really that easy to make, how come after so many years, the domestic action field is still barren.

Seeing that everyone was thinking of withdrawing, Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that it is indeed better for us not to participate."

That’s right, why participate in a competition? It’s so much better to just lie down and make money!
However, at this moment, Lu Yu caught a glimpse of a company that had appeared on the list of registered participants attached to the email.

Mile Tour!
Entries: Next-generation action mobile game "Disintegration 3".

Lu Yu's eyes lit up.

Lin Ying sighed, "I'll go and tell the organizing committee right away that we refuse..."

"No, on the contrary, we want to participate!" Lu Yu raised his hand to interrupt, scaring everyone.

Everyone was full of questions. Why did Mr. Lu gasp when he spoke?
The reason why Lu Yu changed his mind was because he felt that the reason why these little rollercoasters in the company were getting more and more excited was because they had received positive feedback from the previous game project developments!
Taoyuan Township has been on a roll all the time, and it's like they've been on a roll. Every game they make becomes a hit, so it would be strange if these guys didn't become arrogant.

In the first few rounds, the competitors' projects were either copied from the Sharingan or plagiarized from the planning proposals. They couldn't be said to be weak, but they could also be said to be a bunch of noobs.
But Mileyou is different. It will be the dominant force in the field of 2D mobile games in the future.
Especially the action game category, which is the core business of Milegame.

Second dimension, beautiful girls, action games, full buff, Mileyou has a huge competitive advantage in this track,

If Taoyuan Township signs up for the competition and competes with Mileyou, there is a high probability that they will be beaten severely.

To put it bluntly, he wanted to use Mileyou's strength to make his subordinates give up their internal competition, lie down and enjoy life leisurely.

Moreover, in this cycle, there is a system task to develop a beautiful girl action mobile game, so it’s like killing two birds with one stone, how great!
……

After Mr. Lu decided to sign up for the competition, everyone was quite puzzled and started posting @刘梦圆 in the development group:
"Boss Liu, what's this Mr. Lu talking about? We're not familiar with action games at all. Aren't we being beaten?"

Liu Mengyuan, however, gave a mysterious smile and said:
“When analyzing Mr. Lu’s behavior, we must not just look at the surface. Don’t forget, he is an old man with a thousand layers of cake.

Think about it, why did Mr. Lu mindlessly turn down all the small cooperation invitations before?
This shows that he has been waiting for the invitation email for the Tianzun Cup.

Why did he deliberately emphasize the difficulty of developing action games and act as if he was going to refuse?
That's because he wants to see us not afraid of difficulties and take the initiative to volunteer.

In the end, we disappointed him, but he still didn't want to give up the opportunity to train us, so he accepted the invitation."

Everyone suddenly felt ashamed and moved, and regained their confidence.

"So that's how it is! I was saying it! There's no way Mr. Lu is deliberately asking us to do work we're not qualified for in order to dampen our morale and enthusiasm. I'm so superficial!"

"In this case, we have no choice but to continue to work harder to repay Mr. Lu's expectations."

"Exactly, what happened to Mi Leyou? Look, I'll crush them!"

……

on Tuesday.

Li Hongmei came to Lu Yu's workstation carrying a pile of resumes.

"Mr. Lu, our recruitment process has come to an end. Each project team has recruited enough candidates. Here are the candidates' resumes. Please review them..."

Lu Yu glanced at it casually, then waved his hand: "Just check it out."

Li Hongmei hesitated and said, "Mr. Lu, there's nothing wrong with the other candidates, but one candidate's resume is so strange that it makes me question her mental state. I'd like to ask for your decision."

Lu Yu took the resume and looked at the photo of a strange girl.

She has two black ponytails and a devil headband with pointed horns on her head. One of her eyes has a blue contact lens, and the other eye is covered by a black eye patch.

She wore dark lolita clothes with magic symbols printed on them, and wore various strange skull rings on her hands.

There was a kind of insightful depth in the girl's eyes, and she had a wicked smile.

Lu Yu looked at the information:
