Chapter 92: The Designer's Final Stubbornness

In a blink of an eye.

The Independent Games Festival is here.

As the most anticipated event by independent manufacturers and gamers, a large number of games appeared on the official website of the event early in the morning.

These games all have one thing in common: they are low-cost.

Some can even be made by one person alone.

This is also one of the reasons why many independent manufacturers and individuals participate in this event, because they can take the opportunity to promote their own games.

If you become famous at the event, you can also sell your products on major platforms and earn a good income.

For those who don't have much initial capital, this is a good starting opportunity.

It is also a carnival for players and anchors.

"Here I come, let's see what games have been updated today."

In the live broadcast room.

Wang Laoju, who had been waiting for a long time, started the live broadcast early and opened the event homepage to look for games.

Because the event works are free to play, it attracted a lot of people to enter the live broadcast room, and even the barrage of comments was much more than usual .

"That multiplayer snake up there looks good."

"How about playing that pixel shooting game below?"

"I prefer the bomber, the graphics seem okay."

“It feels like there are a lot more games this year than in previous years.”

“Yes, many of them are studios and independent authors that I have never seen before.”

"That's awesome. I'm going to try it when I get home."

The joy of getting something for free will be very addictive for anyone who has experienced it, let alone getting so many games for free at once?

There is no need to say much about the host, Wang Laoju.

I couldn't wait to click on the game introductions one by one, looking for fun things.

"Eh? This game..."

Suddenly, his attention was attracted by a newly updated game.

After watching for two seconds, a loud laugh instantly spread throughout the entire live broadcast room.

"Hahahaha... What is this? Can this kind of game be included in the event?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the game he opened.

【Game: Human: Fall Flat】

[Introduction: A lighthearted and funny sand sculpture game. The game scene takes place in a misty dream. Players can play alone or play with up to eight people online. ]

[Type: level-breaking, multiplayer, puzzle, fun]

…

"Haha! What kind of stupid game is this."

“The painting style is too freaking abstract.”

"Humanity is totally defeated? Even the name is so weird."

"How dare you bring out a game like this?"

"As expected, strange things happen every year, but this year there are especially many."

"Let's play this, it looks interesting. (dog head)"

Funny games are the most indispensable fun program at the annual Independent Games Festival.

Because there are always some designers who cannot finish their work due to time constraints, so they just give up and serve up unfinished products.

On the contrary, this kind of risk-taking mentality has brought a lot of different fun to the players.

While joking, Wang Laoju and the audience in the live broadcast room also looked down to the developer column.

[Developer: Honghuang Studio]

…

Um??

Honghuang Studio?

This game is actually produced by Honghuang Studio? ?

When they saw the developer's name, everyone's expressions froze and they subconsciously looked at the screen a few more times.

"Is this... the Honghuang Studio that made Monster Hunter?"

Wang Laoju's face was full of puzzles, and she had no way of connecting the two together.

You know, he is a loyal player of "Monster Hunter".

I have been hunting hard during this period.

You told him that the game that was the best in both action and combat was made by the same studio as this one?

"Wow, Hong Huang also participated in this event?"

"This painting style is a return to the original simplicity."

"I'm afraid it's not a game made with feet."

"Interesting, I want to see what Hong Huang is up to next."

Not only the audience was curious, but Wang Laoju was also very curious.

Click the icon skillfully to enter the interface and choose to start the game.

After waiting for a while.

With a "pop", a little man in a yellow hoodie fell down.

That's right.

It just fell straight down.

When they saw the villain's appearance, Wang Laoju and the audience couldn't hold back their excitement.

"What is this? It doesn't even have any facial features or fingers?"

"Hahahaha I knew it."

"Isn't this guy made of rubber?"

"Can you believe there's even a character customization option?"

"The designer's final stubbornness belongs to him."

"It's too fucking..."

The game characters that appeared in front of them at this time could no longer be described as sloppy. They were simply little figures casually made of mud by the kid from the Wang family next door.

What’s even more outrageous is that there are actually multiplayer games and various character creation options.

【Model】

[Upper body]

【color】

【Painting】

【return】

…

Don't say that.

If you just look at the UI, it's quite nice, it has everything it should have.

But with this funny character, the flavor suddenly changes and the style becomes abstract.

"Regardless of other things, in terms of overall liveliness alone, Honghuang has already surpassed other games by a huge margin."

Wang Laoju held back her smile, quickly sculpted the character, and switched to the level selection screen.

Power plant, darkness, steam, mansion, train, mountain, castle, water...

Several styles of levels come into view, and the content is surprisingly richer than imagined.

He randomly picked a "train" level.

Next second.

The character he created was suspended in the air, and fell directly from a high altitude onto a crudely made 3D block map, then stood up staggeringly.

"???"

Looking at the body shaking back and forth like a beast and the weak limbs, Wang Laoju almost suspected that he had entered the wrong game.

This character...

It's actually like a rubber man, and it's so limp when it walks!

"No, I'm going to die of laughter here today."

"This physics engine is so messed up that I can't even stand still."

"Are you sure this is a game for people?"

"It's definitely not for humans to play with, because humans have already been completely defeated. (Dog head)"

"I understand. Hong Huang is here to make trouble!"

Amidst the laughter, Wang Laoju controlled the character to move slowly forward towards the locomotive built on the house in the distance.

I tried to jump several times, but couldn't get on it.

"Strange, isn't this a game about passing levels? Why can't I pass it?"

Wang Laoju looked around and his eyes quickly locked on the bench against the wall. He walked over and tried to put his hand on it, and found that it could actually be moved.

"Huh? Seems pretty good?"

His eyes lit up and he finally understood how to play this game.

I took a look at the online avatar next to me and clicked on the voice channel to contact my friend.

"Sanren, Lao Zhou, Donggua, I found an interesting game, come and play it together!"

After a while, there was a voice response in the channel.

"What game? I'm also browsing the Independent Games Festival homepage right now."

"Found something interesting? Just send me the link."

"Here we go, there are so many games I don't know which one to play."

Wang Laojiu didn't waste any time and sent the link to the channel, along with a screenshot of the game.

The channel was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Laoju, are you sure you didn't send the wrong message?"

"What a crap painting style."
