Chapter 443: Winning Again (Three Watches)
On the side of the Imperial Dynasty, Qiu Jiang also turned around and said hello to Chen Mo.
The S-level designers in the front row are all older, basically in their forties, and designers like this have a very high status in the circle, and many of them no longer need to be active in the front line of research and development.
And those designers who are really active are not too old, basically between twenty-seven and eighty-eight years old.
The reason why there are many designers here who seem very young and even get the position of S-level designers earlier than Chen Mo is not because they are open, but because they take a completely different path from Chen Mo.
Chen Mo started from scratch, from mobile games, to PC, to VR, step by step. At the beginning, there was no money, no people, no resources, no channels, and it was very slow to make my own games, and it was completely accumulated little by little.
And these relatively young S-level designers often work as assistants to other S-level designers as soon as they enter the industry, and they have been exposed to VR games for a long time. After two or three years of work, he began to be independently responsible for part of the content in large-scale VR games, and after another two or three years, he began to be independently responsible for VR game projects under large companies such as Emperor Dynasty and Zenyi, and obtained the qualification of S-level designer.
It can be considered that some people at the top of the same company are starting from the grassroots level step by step and have been rising, but the starting point is relatively low; The other part of the people came in through the special channel of management trainees, so they made it to the top in a few years.
Relatively speaking, Chen Mo's path is more difficult, but it is also more comprehensive, and he will not be subject to capital and channels.
In the eyes of others, Chen Mo's development speed can already be regarded as a demon-level performance, because other S-level designers tend to only make VR games, while Chen Mo is proficient in mobile phones, PCs and VR.
……
Soon, the award ceremony officially began.
The moderator takes the stage.
Leader's speech.
Announcement of this year's Honorary Members of the Pleasure Committee.
Certificates were presented and a group photo was taken.
The whole process is basically fixed, and the ten rookie designers are very excited to go on stage to receive the certificate, and their faces are full of excitement.
Some of these designers have been in the industry for a year or two to get the status of honorary committee members, while most of them have been in the industry for more than five years. There are still many people who have been in the industry for seven or eight years or even longer, but they can't get it, and they can only be envious offstage.
For Chen Mo, he has long had the identity of an honorary member, and now watching these people come to the stage to accept the award, he has a feeling of "time flies".
After that, the awards began to be announced.
In the beginning, there were all kinds of small awards, Best Music, Best Art, Best Visual Art, Best Debut Work, Best Level Design, Best Character Development, Best Narrative, Best Performance......
Chen Mo didn't have much to look forward to these awards, mainly because his main works this year, "League of Legends", "Escape" and "Overwatch" are all competitive games, and if you have to talk about artistry, there is no special advantage.
However, Chen Mo's goal was not in these small awards, he had only one goal, which was the game of the year.
These awards are basically won by some A-level designers, and the games made by these designers are all games with distinctive characteristics, so it is easier to stand out when selecting this kind of category award.
However, to Chen Mo's great surprise, he still won the award.
After the award for Best Performance, the next award was Best Atmosphere, which was awarded to the horror game "Escape" produced by Chen Mo.
This surprised Chen Mo very much, he originally thought that a controversial work like "Escape" should not win the award, because there is no "best horror game" in the classified games, and in terms of artistry, "Escape" has no special advantages compared with other VR games.
This award for the best atmosphere has been given to those first-person adventure games with a strong sense of immersion in previous years, but this year it may be because the horror atmosphere of "Escape" is so good that it is awarded to a horror game for the first time.
For Chen Mo, this can be regarded as an unexpected joy. While taking the stage to accept the award, I also thanked the game committee for their understanding and tolerance of the game "Escape", as well as the support of the players.
……
Next is the most anticipated game, this award was selected for a game that has never been released before, and finally went to Zen Interactive Entertainment's VR game "Dengxian Road 2".
The game's predecessor has already been a lot of success, and it has won the award for best art, and the art style can be said to be unique. The influence of the previous game, coupled with the publicity and warm-up that Zen Mutual Entertainment has been all the way around, made this game attract much attention before its release.
After that, it was the best expansion film, which was given to Ran He's "Fire Assault".
"Fire Assault" has always been a masterpiece of FPS games in China, and the response to the new expansion is also very good, and it is well deserved to win this award.
Next, there is a special award, Best Operation Game.
The leader on the stage cleared his throat: "I announce that the winner of the best operating game of the year is "League of Legends", designer Chen Mo!" ”
The audience burst into applause!
Chen Mo stood up very calmly and walked towards the stage.
Indeed, there is basically no suspense in this award, and in this regard, League of Legends has indeed overshadowed all other games in the country.
Because the operation methods of other games are still at the stage of advertising, promotion, and activities, the operation activities of "League of Legends" have focused on e-sports.
The League of Legends Season 1 World Championship has caused a certain sensation at home and abroad, with records breaking in terms of popularity and viewership. During the S1 finals, related topics appeared on Weibo hot searches, and even swept major game media and forums, and even many people who don't play games heard about it.
And after the World Championship, the champion skin of "League of Legends" was sold out again, and the game itself was heavily promoted.
Whether it is the publicity method or the publicity effect, "League of Legends" deserves this award.
Chen Mo came to the stage again, a little short of words.
Because when "Escape" won the award before, he had already thanked everything he should have thanked, but it didn't take long for him to appear on stage for the second time, and it seemed a little inappropriate to thank him again.
Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "Thank you again for all the leaders and dear players. I hope that the success of League of Legends in operation will lead to the emergence of more competitive games, so that domestic e-sports can also achieve greater development and progress, thank you. ”
