The work brought by the "KuranGame" team is "Build & Conquer". This is a comprehensive game that integrates management, strategy, and competitive elements, "The interaction between villagers and buildings is the core of the entire city management gameplay. Players need to allocate the resources within their territory to ensure that the city is thriving and the villagers live and work in peace. Team leader Wu Tong introduced.
The team members come from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Hong Kong Baptist University and other universities, and they are all veteran gamers who have met each other because of their common hobbies. "We're making the games we love the most, so we're having fun. Wu Tong said that they have produced a number of free games and game mods, "We hope to make excellent domestic games and pass on our values to the world." ”
After experiencing the exotic scenery at the end of Asia, the work "The Great Hero" brought the audience to the chivalrous world of Chinese style. The work received comprehensive praise from the jury for its excellent gameplay, beautiful graphics and sound effects.
This is a roguelike card game with original gameplay, where players will challenge a group of heroes in the form of animals, using restraint elimination mechanics and finishing mechanics to defeat opponents. "The card moves are a reference to Chinese martial arts and presented in a witty way. Xiong Quanwu from Shanghai Jiao Tong University introduced.
"We started working on the game at the end of February this year, and we encountered a lot of difficulties during this period. For the game to be fun, the values must be in place, such as how to set the boss blood to make the player feel the most accomplished? ”
Xiong Quanwu introduced that the friends of "Fishman Wharf" come from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Tongji University and other universities. "What we need most now is feedback from more card game enthusiasts to help us better tune in and improve. ”
Cards, audio games, adventures, business simulations... The ten games in the finals have different genres, different world views, and different art styles. What kind of games are more appealing to the judges?
As a writer, Wang Yurong pays more attention to the narration of the game's story, as well as the relevance of the gameplay and the story. Including the core story points told by the game, the logic of the story, and the character design. The setting of a game level and the main line of the game's story should fit. Wang Yurong, secretary of the Party branch of the China Internet Writers Village and a young writer, said.
Ideas on the field were wild, ideas collided with sparks, and the judge Shanyang "pulled" them into the real world.
"The idea is very good, but whether it can be implemented and realized requires a process. Many game teams are also college student entrepreneurial teams, hoping to be recognized by the market while expressing themselves. Shanyang, founder of Wuhu Animation Human Space, said. His advice to the contestants with his entrepreneurial experience as a college student is: pay attention to teamwork and team division of labor.
"At the same time, games are products, and I will check whether the team has done market research, whether they are familiar with the market of similar games, and whether they are clear about the target audience they attract. "Commercialization feasibility is also a factor for Shanyang.
