Chapter 176: Award Ceremony (1st Update)

The exhibition lasted for three days, the content of these three days was much the same, on the first day, the staff of Emperor Dynasty Mutual Entertainment was still fighting with Chen Mo, and it wilted in the back, mainly because the VR games were thrown out, and the result was Chen Mo's "Happy Elimination" to steal the limelight, which hurt morale too much!

The exhibition was a great success, everyone's enthusiasm was also very high, they all returned to Beijing, and many people were reluctant to give up.

……

Experience the store.

Qian Kun said unsatisfactorily: "The exhibition is so good-looking, when will we hold another booth next time?" ”

Su Jinyu said: "Still thinking about next time? I guess it will be half a year later, and there should be no such exhibition before the year. ”

Qian Kun was a little regretful: "I haven't had enough fun, I strongly recommend more activities like this in the future!" ”

Zheng Hongxi said: "Having said that, the most popular game in this exhibition turned out to be "Happy Match", which really amused me. Those big game companies are probably confused, what the hell is this? ”

"yes." Su Jinyu also smiled, "A lot of game merchants have moved out all the VR games that have not been launched at such a big cost, and as a result, players are playing "Happy Match" one by one when they are queuing, and I am laughing to death." ”

With the closing of the YouPlay exhibition in the past few days, many game media have also issued releases, and what surprised these game media is that the hottest thing at the exhibition is not a VR game, but a very simple match-3 game.

This has also become one of the hot topics among the people who eat melons recently.

Immediately, "Happy Match" was launched simultaneously on the Thunder game platform and the official app store, and the popularity of this game began to rise wildly as soon as it was launched, with 460,000 downloads on the first day.

This data is already very terrifying, but it is also expected by Chen Mo. You must know that in the previous life, the number of downloads of "Happy Match" reached 3.5 million within 15 days of its launch, and the daily active users reached 1.5 million.

In the parallel world, Chen Mo's Thunder game platform is already one of the more influential game channels in China, coupled with Chen Mo's own appeal and the strong diffusion of the game itself, it is reasonable to achieve this achievement.

Players and game media can only sigh one after another, Chen Mo is a real evil person, and even match-3 games can be played!

After returning from the magic capital, the recruitment of people is almost decided. All the candidates were finally made by Chen Mo, and there were four or five of them who did not pass the final review, but most of them were okay.

These people are generally more professional, and the content of the work they are responsible for is also very clear, and they mainly help to share the work. The specific game plan is still decided by Chen Molai, and then the three assistants are responsible for different content, and the others are responsible for implementation.

However, these people will not join the company until the next year, so the period before the year has been relatively idle.

Chen Mo asked Su Jinyu and the three of them to make some small games to practice their hands, and if they did well, they would hang it on the Thunder game platform to promote it. As for himself, he was thinking about what the game should do after the year, as well as the Game of the Year Awards ceremony.

Not long after returning from the Demon Capital, Chen Mo received a notice from the Game Committee to let him participate in the Annual Game Awards Ceremony, at which he would be officially awarded the title of Honorary Commissioner.

Regarding this award ceremony, Chen Mo also checked it roughly.

Game of the Year Awards is a bit similar to the Game Developers Conference in the previous life, but with a twist.

This award ceremony is hosted by the Tourist Committee, once a year, basically before the Spring Festival, around mid-January.

Only domestic games and designers will participate in this award ceremony, which is equivalent to an official recognition and encouragement of excellent designers and games.

In addition to announcing the list of Honorary Members of the Board this year, many awards will also be presented at the ceremony.

In addition, there are some activities such as the exchange of design ideas, teaching lectures, etc.

In terms of awards, there are many awards such as Best Game of the Year, Best Creative, Best Newcomer Designer, Best VR/PC/Mobile Game, Best Story, etc., especially the Best Game of the Year, which can be said to be an honor that domestic designers attach great importance to.

After all, this is equivalent to official certification, which is difficult to say abroad, but the gold content in China is still very high.

In fact, Chen Mo doesn't particularly attach great importance to whether he wins the award, because so far, although he has been tossing in the game circle for more than two years and has made a lot of high-quality games, so far, he has not really entered the field of large-scale MMORPG and VR games.

As far as the game industry in the parallel world is concerned, the final awards and classics are still concentrated in the VR field, and some special game genres such as PC may also win awards, but after all, they are still a minority.

As for mobile games, it is basically impossible to win the "Game of the Year" award.

Therefore, for Chen Mo, he still has a lot of room for development, and at this award ceremony, there is still hope to compete for awards like "Best New Designer" and "Best Mobile Game", and there is basically no need to think about other awards.

Of course, as a rookie designer, he can do this in two years, which has made countless designers jealous.

……

On the day of the award ceremony, the weather was good.

This award ceremony is organized by the game committee, and it has a very high status in the game circle, but it generally doesn't do any live broadcasts, after all, this is not the entertainment industry, and few players care about these awards.

Therefore, although this award ceremony is important, it is not so hot.

The venue was at the Imperial Capital Cultural Center, Chen Mo arrived at the venue on time, and there was a staff member responsible for the reception.

Although the event is called the "Game of the Year Awards Ceremony", it is actually more than just awards.

According to the process, the event will last for two days. During the day, there are various exhibitions, networking, exchange of design ideas, teaching lectures and other activities, and in the evening of the second day, the official award ceremony is held.

For many designers, the awards ceremony is important, but these networking and networking events are also essential. The organizers will invite some well-known game designers to give lectures, and all other designers are free to participate and learn advanced game design concepts.

For the Game Committee, the annual Game Awards Ceremony is not only for selection, but also to take the opportunity to promote the exchange of designers and promote the development and progress of the entire game industry.
