As time went on, the sales of "To the Moon" gradually increased.
At the same time, many domestic media outlets that paid attention to this event also published articles one after another.
"Unforgettable Love, 'To the Moon' is a game that will make you burst into tears! 》
"Game Review: A game that hits your heart!" 》
"The favorite to win the game, can 'To the Moon' really be considered a science fiction game?" 》
"A game that made countless macho men cry"
A week after the tour event started, it has become very clear which games can compete for awards and which games cannot compete for awards.
Some came here just to play a passing game, and basically didn't cause much trouble.
As for games that aspire to win awards, many players, including game designers in the industry, are basically aware of it so far.
The first prize was basically awarded to "To the Moon" and "Galaxy Heroes" from NetDragon's Jian Huo Lei Studio.
Among them, in the player selection area, "To the Moon" surpassed "Galaxy Heroes" by Jian Huo Lei Studio by a lot.
But after all, this is not just a player evaluation, an evaluation from the official game department reviewer is also very important.
Although "To the Moon" has some advantages.
But it hasn't reached the point of being crushed.
So it still depends on the official rating.
As for these two games, players have also been arguing online during this period.
'The final winner must be "Galaxy Heroes". I admit that "To the Moon" has a pretty good plot, but can it be considered a game with no gameplay at all? Can it be considered a science fiction game? '
'With one vote from the top floor, "Galaxy Heroes" truly deserves the award! '
'Come on, what is gameplay? Why are you trying to translate it for me? Isn't the plot a kind of gameplay? Isn't music a kind of game? Must you have to defeat monsters and solve puzzles to be considered gameplay? '
'Yes, if "To the Moon" is not considered a science fiction game, then a large number of votes in the competition cannot be counted, then you ask the game department to exclude them all. '
'Don't listen, don't listen, you bastard chanting sutras, anyway, I voted for "To the Moon". '
'Haha, victory must belong to "Galaxy Heroes"! '
'Yes, "Galaxy Heroes" will definitely win the final victory! '
'Hmph, what about "Galaxy Heroes"? Look at the name of the game designer 'Meng Zuo'. Isn't this just a dream! If you want to get the first prize, you probably won it in your dream! '
'Oh, brother, your interpretation and analysis angle is very tricky! '
'By the way, you must be sure that "To the Moon" and "Galaxy Heroes" will be the winner? Look down on the "Black Beast" produced by my great devil'
'Haha, despite the fact that "To the Moon" and "Galaxy Heroes" now have far more player votes than other games, I have a hunch that the winner will be Widowmaker Studio's "Asha Ji"
'The two of you upstairs, the evening has not arrived yet, please stop daydreaming and leave cleanly and smoothly, okay? '
'+1, those two upstairs please leave gracefully! '
Every player has his or her own preferences, and the real conclusion has yet to come out.
This is naturally a wave of advantages in major communities.
But basically it’s the public saying that the public is justified and the mother-in-law is justified.
Compared with the various discussions among online players, there are still hot discussions.
At this time, Chen Xuze was much more calm.
… … …
Nebula Games' office.
Chen Xu sat in the office and called to inform the other party of the interview results.
Candidates for art and music have been found.
As for numerical level design, I interviewed several people, but none of them made Chen Xu particularly satisfied.
"Chen Xu, why are you not in a hurry?" Yang Xin next to him watched Chen Xu finish the phone call, stand up from the chair and wander around the office twice.
"Yeah, it seems like the list of winners will be announced today, right?" Ruan Ningxue was also a little excited at this time.
This is the third game she has worked on.
Regarding the gaming industry, she is no longer the person who knew nothing about it.
As for becoming a book king and then becoming a cartoonist, she had forgotten about it.
On the one hand, it is because she feels the joy brought by the game.
On the other hand, Nebula Games is developing so well, so why is she still thinking about comics
"It's useless even if I'm anxious! I can't control the final result." Chen Xu was speechless after hearing what Yang Xin and Ruan Ningxue said.
Of course he hopes to win the award, but the key is not that he has the final say, right
"By the way, for the development of the mobile version of "Under Legend", let's wait until the list of winners is announced today." Chen Xu thought of something and said: "According to the current trend, the top two are basically guaranteed, regardless of whether it is the first prize. Still not, there must be a lot of popularity, and when the time comes, we can take advantage of our own popularity.”
During the period when "To the Moon" was competing, the main internal work of Nebula Games was in two aspects.
"Undertale" has been ported to the mobile version. This did not take much effort and has already been ported.
I just put it off until now so I can soak up my own heat.
Another thing is the formation of the Nebula Game team.
Except for the R&D team, Chen Xu is preparing to expand.
Other departments throughout the company are also undergoing expansion during this time.
Operations, finance, personnel, basically the stage has been set up.
In addition, there is the platform development team.
Although at present, Nebula Games is regarded as a small workshop in the eyes of most players, including the gaming industry.
From "Mirror" to "Undertale" to "To the Moon", none of them have made any masterpieces. They are basically small-scale independent games.
But for Chen Xu, his ambition obviously doesn't stop there.
In the future, Nebula games will definitely involve a wider world.
Now the establishment of an independent platform can be regarded as the beginning of solidifying its own foundation.
As for whether it will attract the attention of the industry.
To put it bluntly, the current Nebula game is a hammer.
Even if "To the Moon" wins the first place in this event, it will at most create a stir in the independent game circle.
Then show your face in the entire gaming circle.
As for arousing the vigilance of the giants, or some kind of hostility.
I can only say that I think too much.
And this kind of self-operated platform is even more common.
After all, it doesn’t mean building a platform or creating channels.
You also need someone to set up the stage with you and have enough popularity.
For some second- and third-tier games, there are many independent game producers and companies, especially those with series of works, and their fans are relatively strong.
They all have self-operated platforms. After all, if a third-party platform goes online, you have to pay others.
As for the self-operated platform, players purchase it on their own platform.
In addition to taxes, it is pure profit.
At the same time, amidst the various discussions among online players, this time the tour was finalized with an official notice from the game department.
