When the host takes the stage, unlike in the past, this time there are not so many tedious speech activities.
Just some simple introductions, and then Yang Chen, the director of the Magic City Game Department, came on stage and announced the list of designers selected for senior professional titles this year.
Just like if you want to get into the industry, you need to obtain the title certification of game designer, the same is true for senior professional titles.
Generally speaking, you need to have been in the game industry for more than five years and have certain achievements to obtain it.
As for Chen Xu, although it is not enough in terms of time and qualifications, as the saying goes, there is not enough time to make up for the results.
It has won the first place in the game department for two years, and its works such as "Fall Bean Man", "Dark Soul" and "Escape" have achieved great results.
So I was also selected for the big list this year.
Along with Chen Xu, fourteen other game designers were awarded.
But Chen Xu is obviously the most attractive among them.
As Chen Xu came on stage to express his thanks and then took the certificate from Yang Chen, there was a burst of applause.
Countless game designers are also filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
'As expected. '
'To be honest, although Chen Xu is not qualified enough in terms of time and qualifications, it would be unjustifiable if he could not be selected based on his performance in the past two years. '
'I'm jealous! I have been in the industry for 7 years and I don’t know if I can pass my application next year. '
'Don't think about it, you won't make it. '
'grass! '
After Chen Xu stepped down, some familiar game designers communicated quietly among themselves.
After taking his seat again, Meng Zuo next to him also smiled and congratulated.
Chen Xu also smiled in response.
But Chen Xu and Meng Zuo soon shut up.
Because next is the highlight of the night.
At this time, the nominated game designers sitting in the front row all cheered up and listened attentively to the host on stage as he revealed the answer.
Under the spotlight, the first award was soon announced.
First, the nominations of the winning games were announced, and finally the host standing on the stage took a microphone and loudly said: "I announce that the winning game for the best screenplay of the year is "Loulan" developed by designer Ling Hai!"
With the announcement of the winners, all the game designers present also gave warm applause.
Chen Xu also smiled and clapped.
As the winner of tonight's first game award, all game designers also did not hesitate to applaud.
As the winner, Ling Hai walked onto the stage very excitedly and received the trophy from the presenter.
Then he delivered his acceptance speech.
After he finished speaking, everyone at the scene continued to applaud.
Next is the second game award, the Best Art Direction Award, which is also an independent game.
As before, the winners were very excited and expressed their thanks in various ways.
Basically, some of the previous awards are relatively small awards.
For example, Best Art, Best Performance, Best Independent Game, etc.
These awards are not major game awards.
Soon, the distribution of these warm-up game awards was completed.
Now we get to the really big game awards.
Next up is the category game awards.
Award for Best Adventure Puzzle Game of the Year.
Not surprisingly, Chen Xu won the first award tonight.
"I declare that the best adventure puzzle game of the year is "Braveheart: World War" developed by designer Chen Xu!"
Under the thunderous applause of the scene, Chen Xu also took the stage to receive the trophy, and then expressed his official thanks to the game department and various players for their support.
For Chen Xu, this game award is an unexpected surprise.
The awards event is still going on, and the next thing to talk about is sports racing games. There are basically a few game manufacturers that make this type of games in China, and there is basically no big surprise.
Then there was the Best Action Game, and "Dark Soul" was also nominated, but the final award was given to a game called "Goddess Adventure 3" owned by Platinum Interactive.
This game is considered a well-established action IP in China, and Chen Xu himself was not too disappointed.
Because he knows that "Dark Soul"'s nomination is more about just making up the numbers.
After all, "Dark Soul" itself is not an action game. If it wins an award, it can only be said that it is all due to the support of its peers.
Then there is a rather special award, and at the same time, there is no suspense in everyone's eyes.
Unlike before, the host on the stage spoke slowly and seemed to be trying to sell something. This time, he announced the winning game directly.
"Congratulations, the game that won the Best Casual Game of the Year award is "Jelly Bean Man" developed by designer Chen Xu!"
Following the announcement, there was fierce applause.
No one showed any unexpected expressions.
This is the least suspenseful award.
After all, the popularity of "Fall Bean Man" was so high at the time that it could be called a phenomenon.
Many game designers present could not help but sigh.
'This is the most unsuspicious award! '
'Yes, this can be said to be the most phenomenal game this year. Even "Dark Soul" developed by Chen Xu cannot compare in terms of popularity. '
'This Chen Xu is simply a monster! '
'Where are you going? Just watch. There will probably be more in the future. Don’t forget that “Dark Souls” has not won an award yet. '
'It's crazy that these awards are well-deserved. '
Next are several major game awards.
At this time, it is different from the previous awards for Best Sound Effects, Score and Performance.
These game awards now awarded are all very important awards.
All prove that its games, at least in this category this year, are enough to be recognized.
Best shooting game, best adventure game, best strategy game…
During this period, Chen Xu also won some awards, among which "Dark Soul" won the award for best level design, and "Kitchen" won the award for best cooperative game.
In addition, compared to the past, this year there is an additional game award that is most popular among players, which is selected by players online voting.
This is also the biggest difference between this year’s event and previous years.
"Dark Souls" successfully defeated NetDragon's "Star God" to win this award.
Looking at Chen Xu walking down the stage, Meng Zuo, who was sitting next to him, felt like he was having a myocardial infarction.
It seemed like it was back to the scene a year ago when they were attending the awards event.
And this is just the beginning.
Again and again, Chen Xu took the stage to receive an award.
This time, Chen Xu won the award for the best mobile game. The winning game was "Three Kingdoms" on the mobile phone.
The applause from the audience was a little numb, and the host was a little speechless after announcing the winners.
Chen Xu held the trophy in his hand and thanked him at every step as usual.
At this time, in the live broadcast room where this event was broadcast, countless viewers were also swiping the screen to discuss.
'Let me go, 2333333, has any old brother counted it? What award has Chen Xu won
'Good guy, are you here to wholesale trophies? '
'Haha, did anyone notice something? Mr. Chen seemed to have repeated the thank you speech he gave before? '
"Mr. Chen is feeling miserable. He has been there so many times, but how can he have so many words of thanks?" '
'Haha, show Chen Xu the camera, I want to see where he should put all his trophies! '
Countless people in the live broadcast room were posting comments.
There are also many people who know for the first time that Chen Xu, a game designer, is so awesome.
This is also normal.
After all, most players play games, and most players don't pay much attention to game designers and even game manufacturers.
Some players even don’t know that games such as “Dark Soul” and “Fall Bean Man” were actually made by a game designer.
However, compared to the curiosity and discussion among online players, Chen Xu is indeed a little embarrassed now.
"Ahem, Teacher Meng, can you help me get the trophy? It's a bit too much to put down." Chen Xu returned to his seat and said to Meng Zuo next to him with a slight embarrassment.
Although the trophies are not big, they cannot stand up to the large number.
A total of 6 trophies.
Although the awards vary in size, the trophies can be said to be treated equally. They are all the same shape and size, except for the inscriptions on the bases.
In addition, there was no staff on site who could take care of them, so it was difficult for Chen Xu to put these trophies on the ground.
So he could only look at Meng Zuo next to him.
There is no way, the designer here, Chen Xu, knows this one.
And judging from the previous encounters, Chen Xu felt that the teacher Meng in front of him was quite enthusiastic.
After hearing Chen Xu's words, some game designers sitting next to him turned their heads silently.
Too many trophies to put down
Do you listen to what others say
As for Meng Zuo who was questioned, he finally understood why he panicked before.
I should be outside the house and not inside the house. I don’t know why such a sentence suddenly appeared in Meng Zuo’s mind.
But what came out of his mouth was: "No problem, I just happen to be in the spotlight of Mr. Chen. I can touch the trophy and experience this feeling."
Chen Xu:…
There's nothing wrong with what you said, but why does it sound so weird
But before Chen Xu could think about it, he heard the host on the stage call out a familiar name again.
'Congratulations, the game that won the Best Role-Playing Game of the Year award is "Dark Souls" developed by designer Chen Xu! '
As the words fell, all the game designers on the scene looked at Chen Xu's position.
At the same time, a shot of the scene was also given.
The audience who watched the live broadcast instantly became happy.
'Oh my God, it's him again! '
'Haha, Chen Xu said that his buttocks haven't warmed up yet and he's about to get up again! '
Ordinary gamers and game designers enjoy it.
But at this time, many designers also started talking about it.
'Dark Souls' Best Role-Playing Game? '
'It's well deserved, but it's still a bit of a pity. '
'Yeah, I guess it will be "Star God" competing with "Sin City" in the end. '
There was a lot of discussion among the designers in the nomination area.
One of them, a game designer in his thirties, had his eyes closed at this moment and clasped his hands together as if praying for something.
That's the designer of Sin City.
Meng Zuo, who was also holding a bunch of other people's trophies in his hand, also became excited at this time.
Chen Xu himself didn't feel much.
Taking the trophy from the host and picking up the microphone in front of him, Chen Xu delivered a speech of thanks.
'Thank you to all the players who supported me, I'm very touched. '
'The game "Dark Souls" is different from many RPGs, but fortunately we are very happy with the feedback from players. '
'In addition, I also want to share the joy of winning the award with the employees of Nebula Games. This is an achievement achieved by all of us. I also want to thank the leaders and judges of the game department for their recognition. '
'Finally, I would like to solemnly thank all the players again. It was you who made this possible, and we are deeply honored for this. '
'In the days to come, I will continue to make better games. '
'Thank you everyone! '
With Chen Xu's last speech, thunderous applause sounded again.
On major live broadcast platforms, there are also countless players crazily discussing Chen Xu's award.
'Haha, Chen Xu finally said something new about this major award. '
'Didn't you notice something? A producer who once claimed to love Warrior said a very key word, that is, the feedback from players makes him very happy! '
'yes! "Dark Soul" is a difficult suffering game. Does this mean that Mr. Chen is very happy to see us players suffering? '
'The stone is hammered, the stone is hammered! Chen Xu turned out to be such a person! '
'However, I still feel a little regretful. I feel that winning this award will miss out on the final Game of the Year award, right? '
Countless players on the Internet are having heated discussions.
At this time, Chen Xu also walked down from the stage.
Next up is the last award of the night, Game of the Year.
The selected designer from Tenghua was staring at the big screen of the main stage with all his attention, clutching his knees with both hands, obviously very excited.
Meng Zuo, who was next to Chen Xu, was chatting with others calmly on the surface, but his little eyes kept secretly looking at the stage.
The lights in the entire venue suddenly went out.
Footage from the nominated games appeared on the big screen on stage.
When each game clip is played, there will be corresponding BGM and prompts.
The magnificent palace of the gods has gone from prosperity to collapse. Countless legendary monsters have appeared on the land. The magnificent scenery is displayed in front of the players. A young man with a mysterious bloodline in the mountains embarks on a journey to find the lost people. The Journey of God—"Star God"
The bloody gang life, the feasting night city, as an undercover agent lurking in the gang, the protagonist struggles in this endless purgatory, scenes of family love, responsibility, and friendship, classic plot scenes in the game flash by like a revolving lantern - "Sin City" 》
Ash Guda, the Farlan Undead Team, the Unknown King, the Fireproof Woman, as well as the Lothrik High Wall, the Farlan Fortress, and the Fireproof Sacrifice Site, all the scenes that are extremely familiar to the players and full of 'good' memories are skipped, and finally accompanied by As the bell rings, ashes crawl out of the coffin - "Dark Souls"
After all the performances were played, the lights came on.
The host announced loudly, and the designer on Tenghua's side shouted excitedly, while Meng Zuo next to Chen Xu covered his face with his hands.
The final Game of the Year award went to "Sin City."
From Chen Xu's perspective, this is not that surprising.
Because if you really want to say it, "Sin City" is indeed higher than "Star God" in terms of plot depth.
At the same time, technically speaking, "Sin City" is not worse than "Star God".
The only thing that surprised Chen Xu was that "Star God" failed to achieve anything in this event.
"Mr. Meng... think about it. The market performance of "Star God" is still very good, and the players have also given it affirmation." Chen Xu looked at the disappointed Meng Zuo who was still holding the trophy for him, and couldn't help but comfort him. road.
After all, Teacher Meng is a good person!
Hearing Chen Xu's words, Meng Zuo looked at the trophy in the opponent's hand, and then at the trophy he was holding for the opponent. Suddenly I had an urge to cry.
… … …
At this point, all the awards have been awarded, and the reformed annual game event has come to an end.
Major media outlets also published reports as soon as possible.
However, the biggest hot topic on the Internet is not that "Sin City" won the best movie of the year.
It was Chen Xu and Nebula Games, which had just been established two years ago.
After all, it is really eye-catching to almost win awards and get soft at the awards event. Although the most important ones are the three category game awards, it is also quite incredible.
Of course, there is another topic that many players discuss, and that is that "Star God" has failed to produce any results.
In terms of game popularity and player feedback, "Star God" is not bad. Before this, no one thought that the real companion game would be "Star God".
Especially in the last scene broadcast live, the director also showed Chen Xu and Meng Zuo in the same frame, which made it even more contrasting.
Many players have excerpted them and made them into emoticons.
In the picture, Meng Zuo and Chen Xu are holding several trophies to each other, and then the players added a few words next to them.
[Meng Zuo: It feels so good to hold the trophy!]
[Chen Xu: Is the trophy easy to touch? Remember to return it later, it’s all mine!]
