Almighty Video Game Designer

It was already the middle of October. In the following month, there were no other classic games being released. If nothing unexpected happened,"end of the United States" winning the Game of the Year award was already set.

However, this wasn't the only thing that shocked the gaming industry. Another thing was how many of Chen Mo's games would be nominated for the annual gaming competition?

Last year, Chen Mo won game of the year with his excellent level design, world view, story, and difficulty, and also gave Thunderbolt entertainment the title of "dark god Factory." Many people in the gaming industry thought that he would continue to develop this style and continue to explore more hardcore games.

However, Chen Zhao had taken a completely different path.

Mysterious sea redefined adventure themed games, while end of the world redefined United States themes.

Obviously,"mysterious sea" had the upper hand with a high score of 9 points, even compared with the best works from the big manufacturers this year. Not to mention,"end of the United States" had a full score, which was even more impressive.

These two games weren't the scariest. There was another game that was even more popular than these two games, and that was PlayerUnknown's Battleground.

After PlayerUnknown's Battleground launched its international server, the game's popularity had been rising steadily, and the market share of VR gaming pods had also been constantly refreshing people's perception. On the VR platform, PlayerUnknown's Battleground was unstoppable. If there were no other dark horses to step in, PlayerUnknown's Battleground would most likely reach the popularity of League of Legends on the PC platform.

Even the mobile game PlayerUnknown's Battleground had topped the best-selling mobile game charts in more than 130 countries and regions. It was only a matter of time before the game dominated the world.

It was said that in some foreign schools, students 'addiction to PlayerUnknown's Battleground had affected their normal curriculum. Some schools' Wi-Fi had even been blocked from PlayerUnknown's Battleground, which showed how popular the game was.

At first, traditional video game designers didn't pay much attention to PlayerUnknown's Battleground because it didn't look like a game of the year. No matter how popular it was, it had nothing to do with them.

However, after it had reached such a level of popularity, no one could ignore it.

When major video game media reviewed a game,'popularity' would also be an important factor. With PlayerUnknown's Battleground's popularity, even if it didn't win game of the year, it was likely to be nominated for game of the year.

Usually, video game media had different selection rules, and the number of nominations for best game of the year varied from five to six to ten. As long as a game was released this year with a good rating (above 8.5), it had a chance of being nominated.

After all, there was only one Game of the Year award, and the others were all just side-by-side. It would be a little too much if he didn't even allow a game that he had painstakingly created to be a side-by-side.

However, this year was a little special, because "end of the United States","mysterious seas", and "PlayerUnknown's Battleground" were almost guaranteed to be nominated for the annual Gaming Awards. The first two were highly rated, while "PlayerUnknown's Battleground" was highly popular.

This meant that, excluding games like seaside mansion, Chen Mo had produced three major games this year, and all of them were nominated for the annual Gaming Awards ...

This was truly terrifying ...

In the videogame industry, there were plenty of designers who produced high volumes and had stable quality. However, it was terrifying to see designers who produced high volumes and had stable quality at the same time.

A lot of industry insiders were guessing that this year would be the year when Chen Mo and Thunderbolt entertainment would truly rise to power. Perhaps in the future, Chen Mo would start a gaming era that was completely dominated by him, and even reach a height that the traditional big companies couldn't reach!

……

As the popularity of "doomsday of the United States" continued to ferment, more and more implications of the game were dug out.

The players seemed to have returned to a year ago, when they tried to deduce the complete story through the description of the items in Dark Souls.

Of course, the story of "doomsday of the United States" was very complete and smooth, but there were still many little riddles hidden in it waiting for the players to explore. These riddles could be about a certain character, or the background of the whole story, or it could be about the story that happened in a certain place.

These riddles further enriched and perfected the world view of "doomsday of the United States," making it a unique apocalyptic world.

For example, in a certain room, Allie saw a man committing suicide in a bathtub, saying that he couldn't stand this kind of life, so he chose a more relaxed way to escape. But qiaoer said,"trust me, it's not easy. Being bitten to death by zombies or drinking bullets to commit suicide is much better than this feeling." In other words, in the past 20 years, qiaoer, who had suffered the pain of losing his daughter, had tried to commit suicide, but in the end, he chose to live on.

For example, the younger black brother wanted a toy, but the older brother stopped him, so Allie specially helped the younger black brother bring the toy. After her black brother died, Allie even took the toy with her in her backpack. Her other collections included her mother's letter and her good friend Riley's Firefly dog tag.

In the beginning of the story, qiaoer approached two passers-by. One of them provoked him, and the other passer-by hurriedly apologized to qiaoer. After qiaoer walked away, the person who apologized asked his companion,""Are you crazy? Do you know who that guy is?" It could be seen from the side that Joel was a man who made many people fear him when he was a stowaway.

In the man-eating Hunter Town, there was a place where these people were cremated, a place where they threw their clothes, a "list of gains" for each batch, and a detailed record of the number of victims at a certain period of time.

In the inventory records of the Firefly lab, there was even a joke about Halloween. The inventory list on Halloween was 50000 werewolves, and it was also marked with Happy Halloween.

These seemingly insignificant riddles and details filled the entire game. The players could always find many interesting little things in the corners, such as a note, an identity card, or an audio recording. These little details made the world of 'end of the United States' more complete and real. The players seemed to be able to see the life experiences of every supporting character through qiaoer and Ellie's experiences.

Many players were sighing. This was the real zombie theme, this was the real apocalypse!

The games that created the apocalypse just to let the players kill wantonly in the game had been taught a lesson by "end of the United States."
