Almighty Video Game Designer

On Emperor dynasty Entertainment's side, Qiu Jiang also turned around and greeted Chen Mo.

The S-grade video game designers in the front row were all in their forties. Video game designers like them had a high status in the industry, and many of them didn't need to be active in the research and development front line anymore.

As for the designers who were really active, they weren't too old. They were basically between 27 to 40 years old.

The reason why many of these designers were so young and even became S-grade designers before Chen Mo wasn't because they were cheating, but because they walked a completely different path from Chen Mo.

Chen Mo had started from scratch, from mobile games to PC, then to VR. In the beginning, there was no money, no people, no resources, no channels, and it was very slow to make the game by itself. It was all accumulated bit by bit.

These young S-grade video game designers would usually be the assistants of other S-grade video game designers, and would have been in touch with VR games for a long time. After two to three years, he would be in charge of a portion of the content in large VR games. After another two to three years, he would be in charge of VR games under big companies like Emperor dynasty and Zen, and he would get the S-grade videogame designer license.

It could be said that some of the higher-ups in the same company started from the bottom and kept rising, but their starting point was lower. On the other hand, some of them had entered through special channels such as Management Trainees, so it took them only a few years to become high-level executives.

In comparison, Chen Mo's path was more difficult, but it was also more comprehensive and wouldn't be restricted by capital and channels.

In other people's eyes, Chen Mo's development speed was already unbelievable, since other S-grade video game designers only made VR games, while Chen Mo was proficient in cell phone, PC, and VR games.

……

Soon, the award ceremony officially began.

The host went on stage.

The leader gave a speech.

Announcing this year's honorary game committee members.

They would issue the certificate and take a photo.

The entire process was basically fixed. The ten new designers went on stage excitedly to receive their certificates, their faces full of excitement.

Some of the designers had only been in the industry for one or two years before they were able to become Honorary Committee members, while most of them had been in the industry for more than five years. There were also many people who had been in the industry for seven to eight years, or even longer, but still couldn't get it. They could only be envious in the audience.

Chen Mo had been an Honorary Committee member for a long time, and it felt like time had flown by as he watched these people go on stage to receive their awards.

After that, the various awards were announced.

In the beginning, there were all kinds of small awards, such as best music, best art, best visual art, best debut work, best level design, best character creation, Best Narrative, best performance ...

Chen Mo wasn't looking forward to any of these awards, mainly because his main works this year, such as League of Legends, outlast, and Overwatch, were all competitive games. In terms of artistic quality, they didn't have any special advantages.

However, Chen Mo's goal wasn't these small awards. He only had one goal, and that was game of the year.

These awards were mostly won by A-grade video game designers. The games made by these designers were all unique, so it was easier for them to stand out in these categories.

However, to Chen Zhao's surprise, he still won the award.

After the Best Performance Award, the next award was for the best atmosphere, which was given to Chen Mo's horror game outlast.

This surprised Chen Mo. He didn't think that a game as controversial as outlast would win since there wasn't a 'best horror game' award in the game category, and in terms of art, outlast didn't have any special advantage over other VR games.

The best atmosphere award had always been given to first-person adventure games that had a strong sense of immersion. This year, perhaps because outlast had created such a good atmosphere, it was given to a horror game for the first time.

To Chen Zhao, this was an unexpected surprise. As he went on stage to receive his prize, he also thanked the game Committee for their understanding and tolerance of outlast, as well as the support of the players.

……

Next up was the most anticipated game. This award was selected from the games that had yet to be released. In the end, it went to ZEN Entertainment's VR game, road to heaven 2.

The game's prequel had already achieved considerable success and had even won the best art Award. The art style of the game could be said to be unique. The prequel's influence and ZEN Entertainment's constant promotion had attracted a lot of attention even before the game was released.

Next was the best information film, which was given to ran he's raging inferno assault.

Fire assault had always been one of the most famous FPS games in the country. The response to the new documentary was also very good, and it was well-deserved to win this award.

Next up was a special award, best operational game.

The leader on stage cleared his throat."I hereby announce that the winner of the best operational game of the year goes to Qin Zhuan: League of Legends, designer Chen Mo!"

The crowd instantly burst into warm applause!

Chen Mo stood up very calmly and walked up to the stage.

Indeed, there wasn't much suspense about this award. In this aspect, League of Legends had indeed overshadowed all the other games in the country.

Other games were still stuck at the stage of advertising, promotion, and promotion, while League of Legends's operations had already focused on esports.

The first season of League of Legends's global Grand Finals had caused a certain sensation both at home and abroad. The popularity and number of spectators had broken records. During the period of the S1 finals, this topic had made it to the top of Weibo's search list. It had swept through all the major video game media and forums, and even many people who didn't play games had heard of this matter.

After the global Finals, the champion skin of League of Legends was sold like crazy again, which greatly promoted the game itself.

Whether it was the publicity method or the publicity effect, League of Legends deserved to win this award.

Chen Mo went on stage again, at a loss for words.

This was because he had already thanked them when outlast won the award. It didn't take long for him to go on stage again, so it didn't seem appropriate to thank them again.

Chen Mo thought about it and said,"thank you again, leaders and dear players." I hope that the success of League of Legends will promote the emergence of more competitive games, so that the e-sports in the country can achieve greater development and progress. Thank you, everyone. "
