The exhibition lasted for three days, and the content was pretty much the same. On the first day, the staff from Emperor Dynasty Entertainment were still fighting fiercely with Chen Mo, but towards the end, their morale was greatly diminished, mainly because Chen Mo's Anipop had stolen the spotlight after releasing a VR game. It was a huge blow to their morale!
The exhibition was a success, and everyone was very enthusiastic. There were still many people who were reluctant to leave after returning to Beijing.
… …
Inside the experience store.-
Qian Kun said, "The exhibition was so good, when's the next time we'll have our own booth?"
Su Jinyu said, "Thinking about next time? Probably at least half a year from now, there probably won't be an exhibition like this before the new year. "
Qian Kun was a bit disappointed, "I didn't get enough, I strongly recommend more events like this!"
Zheng Hongxi said, "Speaking of which, the most popular game in this exhibition is actually Anipop. It's so funny. The big video game companies are probably shocked, what the heck is that? "
"Yeah." Su Jinyu also laughed. "Many game developers have spent so much effort to bring out VR games that haven't been released yet, but the players are all playing Anipop when they're queuing up. I'm dying of laughter."
Following the conclusion of the exhibition, many video game media released their articles. What surprised them was that the most popular game at the exhibition wasn't a VR game, but a very simple matchmaking game.
This became one of the hottest topics among the general public.
Shortly after, Anipop was released on Thunderbolt Gaming Platform and the official app store at the same time. The game's popularity skyrocketed as soon as it was released, with 460,000 downloads on the first day, crushing all the other casual games of the same time period.
This was a terrifying number, but it was still within Chen Mo's expectations. In his previous life, Anipop had three and a half million downloads in fifteen days, with one and a half million daily active users.
In the parallel world, Chen Mo's Thunderbolt Gaming Platform was one of the more influential video game channels in China. Combined with Chen Mo's popularity and the popularity of the game, it made sense for him to achieve such results.
The players and video game media could only sigh at how strange Chen Mo was, to be able to do so much with a simple matchmaking game!
After returning from Shanghai, the recruitment was more or less settled. All the candidates were decided by Chen Mo. Four or five of them didn't pass the final screening, but most of them were passable.
These people were generally more professional, and they were responsible for their respective tasks. They were mainly here to help share the workload. Chen Mo was still in charge of the planning of the game. The three assistants were in charge of different things, and the others were in charge of implementing them.
However, these people would only start working after the New Year, so the period before the New Year was relatively free.
Chen Mo told the three of them to make a few games to practice their skills. If they did well, they would advertise it on the Thunderbolt Gaming Platform. As for himself, he was thinking about what to do with the game after the New Year, as well as the Annual Game Awards Ceremony.
Not long after returning from Magic City, Chen Mo received a notice from the Game Committee to attend the annual Game Awards ceremony, where he would be given the title of honorary committee member.
Chen Mo also did some research on the award ceremony.
The Annual Game Awards Ceremony was similar to the Game Developers Conference in his previous life, but there were some differences.
The award ceremony was hosted by the Game Committee once a year, usually around the middle of January before Chinese New Year.
Only domestic games and video game designers would participate in the awards ceremony. It was basically a form of recognition and encouragement for excellent video game designers and games.
Apart from the announcement of the honorary members of the Game Committee, there would also be many awards given out.
Apart from that, there were also events such as design exchange, lectures, etc.
In terms of awards, there were Best Game of the Year, Best Creativity, Best New Game Designer, Best Mobile Game, Best Story, and many more. Especially Best Game of the Year, it was an honor that was highly valued by domestic video game designers. Anyone who could get this award would basically become a very influential video game designer.
After all, this was equivalent to being recognized by the government. It might not be the same overseas, but it was still very valuable in China.
Actually, Chen Mo didn't really care about getting an award. Although he had been in the video game industry for over two years and made quite a few high quality games, he still hadn't entered the MMORPG or VR game industry.
For the video game industry in the parallel world, most of the major awards and classics were in the VR industry. Some PC games might get an award, but they were in the minority.
As for mobile games, it was basically impossible for them to get an award like 'Game of the Year'.
Therefore, Chen Mo still had a lot of room to grow. Awards like 'Best New Video Designer' and 'Best Mobile Game' were still possible, but he didn't have to think about the other awards.
Of course, as a new video game designer, being able to do so much in two years was already enough to make many other video game designers jealous.
…
The weather was nice on the day of the award ceremony.
The awards ceremony was organized by the Game Committee. It had a high status in the gaming industry, but it wasn't usually broadcasted. After all, this wasn't the entertainment industry. Players rarely paid attention to these awards. At most, they would wait for the video game media to reveal the awards before they went to check it out.
Therefore, although the award ceremony was important, it wasn't that popular.
The venue was at the Imperial Cultural Center. Chen Mo arrived on time and was greeted by staff.
Although the event was called 'Annual Game Awards Ceremony', it wasn't just an award ceremony.
According to the schedule, the event would last for two days. During the day, there would be exhibitions, social gatherings, exchange of ideas, lectures, etc. The official award ceremony would be held on the second night.
For many video game designers, the award ceremony was important, but these social gatherings and activities were also important. The organizers would invite famous video game designers to give talks. All other video game designers were free to attend and learn about advanced video game design concepts.
