Through the dismantling and reproduction of the game creation process, the exhibition allows game lovers and the general public to see the game behind the scenes closer to the content creation side, and also let people more intuitively feel the charm of the game is called the "ninth art". Curator Yang Jing said that "Youtobang: Game Scene" selected 19 works that have special creative experiments and breakthroughs in these creative links, and dissected the games that seemed to be mixed into one, "In time, we retreat to the game artists and designers, except for a whimsical idea in the brain, we start with nothing, to see how they go through the steps of prototype, iteration, testing, user generation, etc., and gather sand into towers; spatially, we put the buildings, characters, art, animation, text, narrative, level, and so on in the game. The subsystems are disassembled, and through the systems-theory microscope, look at the appearance of each part in the final forming giant system, as well as the tension and cushioning inside the system. ”

Among a number of highly experimental and exploratory exhibition projects, the miniature landscape of Coconut Island Games' "100 Views of Jiangnan" attracted many people to stop and take photos. In the form of media that young people love, traditional culture can become the core theme.
The coconut island game staff said that as a representative of the on-site national style exhibition, the miniature landscape followed the highly acclaimed classical Chinese painting techniques and styles of "Jiangnan Hundred Views", and was created by the production team to invite craftsmen to create one knife at a time, which took several months. From Yingtianfu, Huizhoufu, Suzhoufu, Hangzhoufu and finally to Songjiangfu, from the octagonal archway to the broken bridge remnants of snow, from the willow wave to the Yuyuan Jiuqu Bridge to the City God Temple, the miniature landscape models are presented one by one from the details, and the audience can clearly see the system and traditional layout of jiangnan ancient town architecture in the Ming Dynasty, and can also feel the respective wonders of Jiangnan ancient town, like the grand view of Jiangnan ancient town.

Participating in the exhibition and allowing the audience to quickly "enter the painting" is an important consideration in the design of the booth, and the reason why there are works such as miniature landscapes is also based on the past experience of "Jiangnan Hundred Views" in traditional cultural inheritance and linkage.
As a head of the national style game work, "Jiangnan Hundred Views" with its inheritance of classical Chinese painting techniques and styles such as "Qingming On the River Map", the reproduction of the style of Jiangnan ancient town in the Ming Dynasty, to achieve a broken circle in the young group and even the public group. In the past invited offline scene linkage and content linkage cases, such as Shanghai Yu garden, Huizhou, the movie "Tianshu Qitan" and other linkages are also mostly related to traditional culture, which has promoted the production team to have the idea of continuing to deepen, do fine and thorough traditional cultural themes.
According to reports, "100 Scenic Spots of Jiangnan" will expand the presentation of traditional Chinese cultural features in the work by implanting more scenes, such as the newly launched Yangzhou City. In addition, in the external promotion, "Jiangnan Hundred Scenic Spots" will always adhere to the dissemination of Chinese culture as the primary task, "let the charm of traditional culture become the audience's first perception point." For example, since the beginning of the game's launch, we have been making small videos that promote traditional festival customs. "Chen Wen, COO of Coconut Island Games, said that in addition to commercial value, games as a popular medium for young people and as an important form of artistic creation should also be faced squarely, and a series of examples have also proved that games can play a positive leading role in telling Chinese stories and inheriting and exporting traditional culture to the world." We have proved the charm of traditional Chinese culture through "100 Scenic Pictures of Jiangnan", and we will also dig more good content creation themes in the future to show the charm of Chinese stories to the world.
