The game is only half finished, and the entire internet is begging for an update!

For the next period of time.

Chaoxi Game Studio has officially entered an immersive development mode.

This time, the entire office was in a completely different state than before.

If the previous development was to prove one's abilities and to make a name for oneself in the industry.

So now, this group of people are completely possessed by some kind of sacred sense of mission!

The premise of "Love Requires Talking to People" has given everyone the motivation to go crazy burning their hairlines!

Although Jiang Bo's temporary skill card, "The Flawless Master of Deceiving the World," has long expired, the highest level of deceiving the world lies in its delayed gratification.

What's more, the biscuit Jiang Bo gave us was a compressed biscuit!

The more they develop it and the more content they add, the more satisfied the group of people feel. This thing has potential!

Zhou Guangqi became increasingly engrossed in writing.

When he used to write plots, his biggest fear was that the characters wouldn't have any conflict.

it's good now.

This group of animals has no shortage of conflict.

The surface is all fuzzy, but digging around reveals a whole lot of hidden secrets. He's got such a clever mind!

Hehehe... Spreading sugar, I'm going to spread sugar like crazy!

Then look at the players' expressions after they learn the truth!

Jie Jie Jie...

Even before the project was launched, everyone at Chaoxi Games was already incredibly excited.

……

That morning, in the office.

Jiang Bo enjoyed this rare moment of tranquility.

"Knock knock knock!"

A knock came at the door.

Jiang Bo looked up.

"Enter."

The door was pushed open.

Sheng Tinglan walked in carrying a tablet, her steps noticeably faster than usual, and a hint of excitement was evident in her eyes.

"General Manager Jiang."

"Great news! Absolutely great news!"

Jiang Bo glanced at her.

"What's wrong?"

Sheng Tinglan handed the tablet to him.

"The 33rd Mini-Game Competition, jointly organized by the National Game Association and DeepBlue Games Platform, is now open for registration."

Jiang Bo's brows twitched slightly.

"A mini-game competition?"

Sheng Tinglan nodded.

"right."

"This competition has been held for many years and has received a lot of attention every year."

"This is the 33rd edition, and the registration channel has just opened."

"I looked at the competition requirements, and Chaoxi Games meets them perfectly."

Sheng Tinglan was afraid that Jiang Bo was unaware of the market situation, so she quickly explained it to him.

"President Jiang, this competition is extremely prestigious. Every year it attracts countless independent game developers, studios incubated by major companies, and all sorts of talented individuals from the community to compete!"

"Most importantly, the competition format is absolutely insane, severely testing the game developers' reaction speed and creativity!"

Jiang Bo's brows twitched slightly, a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "How exactly is it so heinous?"

Sheng Tinglan swallowed hard, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"First: Absolutely no brought-in finished products will be accepted!"

"All registered producers or teams must gather at the officially designated closed venue on the opening day of the competition. Before entering, you won't even know what type of game you're making!"

Second: On-site blind box draw for keyword entries!

"The competition theme wasn't officially set; it was randomly selected on-site! Each team would draw two terms from a blind box machine containing various vocabulary words, all in full view of everyone! They then had to develop a project on the spot, using those two terms as the core elements!"

"Can you believe it? I've seen previous competition records. Some big companies' teams drew two completely unrelated keywords, like 'Cthulhu' and 'cleaning,' and ended up making a game called 'I Opened a Bathhouse in the Abyss'..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bo's expression slowly changed. He took the tablet and began to examine it carefully.

The competition page is very formal, and it also displays winning entries from previous years.

There are minimalist puzzle games, pixel platformers, short horror games, and highly abstract text-based interactive works.

"That's interesting. What are the judging criteria?"

Sheng Tinglan had clearly done her homework.

"The development period for this competition was extremely short, only a single week!"

"The competition was already being streamed live across the entire internet from the start. Once the game was developed, it had to be packaged and uploaded to the official public trial section, where it was streamed live in its entirety!"

"Judges and netizens will score based on three main dimensions:"

The first is completion: see if your game can run normally and if the story is complete!

The second factor is popularity: how popular it is, how intense the player reaction is, and how good the reviews are!

Third, and most importantly!

Value for money!

As I understand it, you have to use the fewest people and the most limited time to create the most unimaginable gameplay!

For example, if you bring ten senior programmers and they just make a Tetris game, even if your visuals are all ray-traced, your score in this category will definitely be low!

Sheng Tinglan became more and more excited as she spoke.

"In addition, as long as a team achieves a ranking, it will receive a prize, recommendations from the DeepBlue platform, annual support from the association, and a series of media exposures."

"Most importantly, the competition itself is very popular."

"Even without outstanding results, as long as it goes viral enough, it will still generate a lot of discussion!"

Jiang Bo looked at the various cases on the page, and with Sheng Tinglan's explanation, he immediately understood.

Wow, this competition is really something else.

No wonder it's attracting so much attention from players.

The entries were drawn on-site.

Closed-loop development.

Completeness, popularity, cost-effectiveness... it naturally attracts attention and enhances the live streaming experience.

This is practically a golden opportunity delivered right to my door!

"Love Requires Talking to People" is a big project.

It needs to be polished slowly and cannot be rushed, but mini-game competitions are different.

It's short, fast, and public, and it naturally generates buzz.

Moreover, random keywords naturally create suspense.

Players will first look forward to what affixes they will draw, and after drawing the affixes, they will look forward to how they will be developed. When it comes to the demonstration stage, they will also look forward to how playable the final product will be.

There is anticipation at every step.

Moreover, Jiang Bo didn't need to actively design this expectation; the official event broadcast the entire event live, attracting at least hundreds of thousands of viewers!

Thinking of this, Jiang Bo's eyes lit up completely!

This is tens of thousands of times more efficient than him slowly releasing the game online and letting players experience it one by one!

What is a golden opportunity? This is a golden opportunity!

Looking at Jiang Bo's expression, Sheng Tinglan tentatively asked:

"Mr. Jiang, would you like to sign up?"

"I've taken a look, and the application materials aren't complicated."

"Company qualifications, past works, team size, and information of the person in charge of the competition."

"We are completely satisfied."

"only……"

She paused.

"The book 'Love Requires Talking to People' is currently under development. If I participate in this competition again, it might take up some of my energy."

Jiang Bo put the tablet down.

No, it won't.

Jiang Bo spoke calmly.

"This mini-game competition doesn't require the entire company to participate."

"The project 'Love Requires Talking to People' continues to move forward."

"For this competition, we'll draw another small team separately."

Sheng Tinglan nodded.

"Then, Mr. Jiang... shall I go and organize the registration materials? Also, what do you mean by the other team you mentioned...?"

Jiang Bo was full of vigor and high spirits.

"I'll register under the name of Chaoxi Games."

"Write my name as the person in charge of the competition."

"Participants..."

Write about me too!
