Almighty Game Designer Chapter 442: Awards Ceremony

Mobile reading

The night of the award ceremony.

All the designers know that lectures and exchange meetings are all imaginary. The most important thing is the award ceremony in the evening.

Those lectures are all supporting the scene, and the award ceremony in the evening represents the achievements and honors that the designer has won this year.

Designers entered the venue one after another. When Chen Mo and others entered, there were already many people on the scene.

This year’s award ceremony seems to be more grand than in previous years. Although the venue has not changed, the layout is more gorgeous, and there is a special camera to record the entire award ceremony.

Moreover, several video sites have also started to broadcast simultaneously.

This year is the first live broadcast of the awards ceremony. The technical conditions of the previous awards ceremony were completely fine. The reason why there was no live broadcast was just because the leaders of the game committee did not want to arrange, because this award ceremony was mainly an internal matter of the designer and the game committee, and had little to do with the players. .

But this year, the leaders of the gaming committee probably want to expand the influence of this awards ceremony so that more players can also participate, so for the first time a live broadcast is arranged so that all players can see.

Although the live broadcast was arranged, it was not so much fanfare. It was just that the live broadcast room was opened on several live broadcast platforms and video websites, and the popularity was not too high.

But even so, hundreds of thousands of viewers are watching it.

On the barrage, many viewers are discussing.

"Why haven't you started yet?"

"Hurry up and announce the awards!"

"The annual game of "The Tang Dynasty", it's proper!"

"Will there be "League of Legends"?"

"Can you see Chen Mo? Where is Chen Mo?"

"Those sitting in the front row are all S-level designers? Who are they? It's too far to see..."

The award ceremony has not officially started, so the current screen is still the entry screen of the designers. Most of these audiences are players who are more concerned about the game industry, prefer VR and stand-alone games, and a small part of them are fresh and chaotic.

Chen Mo and Zhang Xiaokong and others entered the venue together, and the staff was also very responsible for guiding them the way.

What surprised Chen Mo was that this year he was not seated with Zhang Xiaokong and Qiu Hengyang. Instead, he was sitting very far forward.

Looking around, there is no one acquaintance, which makes Chen Mo very embarrassed.

Zhang Xiaokong said: "Sure enough, your position in the eyes of the leaders of the tour committee is different, but it's no longer the time to sit with us before. Go ahead, with the designers of the Emperor Dynasty and Zen. Have a good time."

Chen Mo: "..."

The seats are arranged in advance. Except for the leader in the front row, the seats are basically arranged from front to back according to the designer's level. The first two rows are basically S-level designers, and then there are A-level and B-level designers.

Of course, there is a distinction between designers of the same level. Some A-level designers already have several masterpieces, and they must sit a little higher.

As for Chen Mo, he was placed in a more sensitive position, in the first two rows, but the position was relatively close.

Because Chen Mo is still strictly A+, not S-level, but the S-level designer does not have two rows full, and two or three places are empty, so Chen Mo was squeezed in.

Obviously, in the eyes of some leaders of the tour committee, Chen Mo is basically one step away from the S-level.

Chen Mo basically knows the other S-level designers, but he has never spoken or dealt with. This is because most of these designers are affiliated to Emperor Muyu and Zen Muyu, and Chen Mo and these two companies don't deal much with it.

There are also individual independent designers, but that kind of designer is even more solitary, playing games, seldom show up, let alone get in touch.

When Chen Mo came over, most S-level designers kept a polite distance.

The reason for this is more complicated. It is one aspect of the literati being indifferent. As an S-level designer, everyone must be a bit arrogant; the discord between companies is also on the other side. I didn't even deal with it, especially Lin Zhaoxu and Liu Yuanfeng were often thrown off the table by Chen Mo in secret. It is not good for these designers to be too close to Chen Mo as employees.

As for these S-level designers, why they want to join the Imperial and Zen mutual entertainment? This is another matter.

Because making games is relatively high-return but also high-risk, these large-scale VR games often invest tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and it is natural to make a profit, but what if you lose? Most S-level designers cannot afford this kind of risk.

The biggest advantage of joining a large company such as Emperor Dynasty and Zen is that you can avoid risks. R&D funds and promotion are all companies worry about. It doesn’t matter if you lose money. Anyway, you lose the company; if you make a profit, you will have to give the company a lot. Money, but I can also make a lot of money.

Considering comprehensive considerations, joining a large company can effectively avoid risks, and these designers can create without any worries.

There are specialties in the technical industry. Most designers are good at designing games, and they don’t know anything about company operations, promotion, etc.~IndoMTL.com~ So these big companies are also attractive to S-level designers. Forceful.

As for Chen Mo, it is completely a special case. Starting from scratch like him, designers who both develop games and channels, and who are their own bosses, can be said to be rare, so they are a different kind.

Chen Mo just sat down, and the designer next to him turned around.

"Chen Mo? Long Yang."

When Chen Mo saw, he knew this person, Ran He, an S-level designer of Zen Interactive Entertainment, who was also the producer of "Fire Assault".

Ran He can be regarded as a relatively old S-level designer in China, and he specializes in FPS games and has a certain reputation in the game industry.

Chen Mo hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, you are a senior."

Ran He smiled: "What predecessors, it is nothing more than a few years early in the industry. This year, "Overwatch" came out, and the momentum is strong. If nothing happens this year, the game of the year should be your "Overwatch" , You will also enter the S grade."

The two chatted a few words.

As a designer of FPS games, Ran He obviously did not study "Overwatch" less, and he is also very clear about the innovation of this game for FPS games, so he is so optimistic.

As for himself, he has just finished updating a major version of "Fire Assault" this year. The new game is still in preparation, so there are no works available for the selection.

S-level designers like these have long passed the cutoff of winning by quantity. It would be good to be able to produce one work in two or three years.

This is especially true for designers such as Ran He and Qin Xiao who have designed high-quality games. They usually don’t open new projects frequently. They have to prioritize the operation of old projects and wait until the life of old projects is almost reached Open a new project.

It's like Chen Mo, who has several games a year, just like no money.
