Chapter 4: Competition Rules
After taking his seat, Chen Mo began observing the competition venue.
The audience had all entered, roughly around seven hundred people, chatting and laughing or playing on their phones.
The communication technology in this world was very advanced. An ordinary phone card came with hundreds of gigabytes of data per month, and the signal was excellent. Combined with widespread wireless network coverage, even if someone spent all their time watching videos and livestreams on their phone, the data would be more than enough.
Chen Mo felt that this was probably one of the reasons mobile games weren't very developed in this world. Most people played VR games when they got home, and mobile games were only played during boring moments like this, squeezed in between movies, TV dramas, variety shows, livestreams, news, social activities, and so on.
It was worth noting that entertainment in this parallel world was extremely developed, with many alternatives to games. Plus, since data was practically free, people could watch movies and TV dramas as much as they wanted, so many didn't bother playing mobile games.
Of course, most of the audience here should be game enthusiasts, especially mobile game lovers.
Only mobile game fans would come to this kind of competition as spectators.
After all, this game design competition was relatively basic. Among the contestants, there weren't even a few D-level game designers. What kind of games could they possibly design?
First, the judges could steer the direction. If two games had similar data, and the judges heavily praised one of them, the result would speak for itself.
Second, the judges had the ultimate veto power. If all three judges unanimously agreed that a game was unqualified, then even if it came in first place, it would be meaningless—it would be directly disqualified.
This was probably due to this world's respect for the professionalism of game design, but in Chen Mo's view, such rules were meaningless and very foolish.
However, since he was a contestant now, he could only obediently follow the rules.
At that moment, the big screen happened to be introducing Chen Mo's game.
