Lin Hais speech was much more thought out, not offending either side. In truth, he didnt have a clear stance on the matter.
Whispers started coming from the audience.
Shi Huazhes speech still made an impact. A senior designer having such a strong opposing stance on a video ga all the while providing valid argunts caused so of the audience to waver on their stance, wondering if a ga like this was really worth recomnding.
On the other hand, Lin Hai was just trying to be neutral. In reality, it made no difference, the words had left the audience as soon as he said them. In contrast, Shi Huazhes speech had made a deep impression.
Chen Mo still managed to heave a sigh of relief.
If Lin Hai turned out to be against FlappyBird, he would be stuck in an awkward situation. The attitudes of the two judges would affect a majority of the audience. While Lin Hai staying neutral wasnt good, it wasnt bad, either.
However, Chen Mo didnt let his guard down.
The youngest judge, Qiu Hengyang, was up next. One of the two judges opposed strongly and another remained neutral, his thoughts on the ga decided the fate of the ga to a certain extent.
Qiu Hengyang turned on his mic, speaking after so thought, About this ga, I actually have a different view than Mr. Shi Huazhe.
Chen Mo was shocked. Why is this guy helping ? Could it be that his tastes were more unique than the previous two, and he could see the good sides of this ga?-
Shi Huazhe also showed surprise, staring at Qiu Hengyang, wanting to see what Qiu Hengyang was going to say.
Qiu Hengyang said, This ga before I saw the numbers, I gave it an eight, but after I saw the statistics, I think it deserves a nine. Of course, this score is compared to the other nineteen gas.
That is to say, this ga is truly deserving of its first place status.
The audience let out a gasp.
What the? Nine? Maybe out of a hundred?
However, based on Qiu Hengyangs tone and expression, it was obviously nine out of ten!
Many in the audience liked FlappyBird. Sure they might like it, but they knew that the ga was rough around the edges. A seven out of ten wouldve been quite good, but nine out of ten was a bit too much?
Qiu Hengyang ignored the surprised audience and continued, Please dont think its weird. This is the difference in perspectives of a video ga designer from normal players.
You guys see a miniga with simple graphics and a monotonous playstyle, but in my eyes this was a carefully crafted, carefully thought out ga made genuinely.
Why do I say that? Let explain.
The audience was drawn in by Qiu Hengyang, many of them curious about the praises he was singing about the ga. What was so good about it?
The competition was also being live-stread and recorded. If Qiu Hengyang was talking rubbish, it would be detrintal to his image in video gaming circles!
Qiu Hengyang said, Next up, Ill ask you guys a few questions. Dont worry about answering, just think about it.
First question, you guys said that the ga looks so simple its an eyesore. Let ask, do you guys really think the bird is ugly? Or do you think that the bird looks kind of dumb, but the flying and dying animation is still quite amusing?
Second question, did anyone attempt to calculate how fast the bird falls? Or how much it moves up when you tap?
Third question, why does the ga restart with one tap after gaover? Why does a simple miniga need a leaderboard and online functions?
Fourth question, did you guys notice the ad space on the topside of the Ga Over screen?
Please think seriously about these questions.
After Qiu Hengyang finished, he intentionally turned off the microphone to allow so ti for the audience to think.
The audience imdiately started discussing.
These were all gars, so they were naturally interested in the video ga ta and trying to dig into the reasoning behind it. Furthermore, most of the audience was addicted to FlappyBird, so the questions Qiu Hengyang asked raised plenty of discussions.
Chen Mo felt quite shocked, because the questions Qiu Hengyang asked were right on the key points of the ga, leaving him quite surprised. After all, the video ga design ideology in this world was lagging behind and filled with prejudice.
Qiu Hengyang was quite incredible. He could put aside his biases and dig deeper into the factors that make a ga successful while completely disregarding the idea of blind luck sothing Chen Mo valued highly in a video ga designer.
Just from this quality alone, Chen Mo was confident that even in his previous world, Qiu Hengyang would have still been an extraordinary video ga designer!
Once Qiu Hengyang decided that the audience had plenty of ti to think about it, he continued, Everyone should have so ideas now. Congratulations on taking the first step into the world of a video ga designers thoughts.
First question, were the graphics of this ga really that bad?
When you look at this bird, what was the first thought that went through your mind? Stupid? Immature? Silly? Make no mistake, this may seem like a graphically simple ga; the bird was drawn using simple colors and lines, but the big eyes, sausage lips, and small wings imdiately invoke an image of a stupid bird. Its no simple task!
Moreover, the looks of the bird match quite well with the contents of the ga. The silly look of the bird takes the edge off the disappointnt and the failure from the ga. It even makes you feel that its the bird thats stupid, not you, right?
As Qiu Hengyang finished, laughter ca from the audience.
Qiu Hengyang continued, Second question! Why did I ask about the falling and flying speed? Simple, these were key factors of the code, directly impacting the difficulty of this ga.
If the falling speed was too high and the speed of flying back up was also too high, the ga would be overly difficult. Most people wouldnt reach two digits. This ans that the ga would be too punishing, and most wouldnt play this ga for longer than they have to.
In the opposite case, the ga would beco too easy, most would be able to reach double digits. The player would then feel that the ga was incredibly stale and boring; also ending in the player quitting.
Therefore, in my view, the gas design was carefully thought out. It was able to get the right balance of being difficult and torturous while giving you hope, constantly giving you wishful thinking, driving you to try again and again!
Third question! The ga intentionally made the ga design simple, restarting on a tap. This was to reduce the number of unnecessary steps and allow you to start the next round quicker. During the nurous attempts, the player grows numb to the Ga Over screen, even making the player lose their sense of ti.
As for leaderboard and online capabilities, I think it was the finishing touch. Without the online function, its results might be a third of what it is now, possibly even less.
Why? Because in these types of gas, its the climbing of ranks that makes your result aningful. Otherwise whats the point of trying to get 100 or 1000 points if you cant brag about it?
I say brag; not by showing others your phone, but you are able show other players how good you are through the leaderboards! It is like saying, Look, see how incredible I am! How many of you were grinding out your high score? I did!
A large portion of the audience raised their hands.
Qiu Hengyang nodded, Thats what Im saying! The online connectivity and leaderboard were vital finishing touches to this ga!
A mber of the audience in the front row shouted Mr Qiu, is that why you ground out a score of 39 and signed your na? Huge laughter ca from the audience.
