After a while, Qiu Hengyang arrived and sat next to Chen Mo.
The seats were arranged by the organizers. Other than the front row where the leaders sat, the other seats were arranged according to the level of the designers. Relationships with the designers were prioritized when arranging the seats.
Chen Mo and Qiu Hengyang were both A-grade designers and knew each other well, so they were placed in the same row.
Qiu Hengyang introduced them to Chen Mo.
"The ones in front are the leaders of the Game Committee. You'll have to interact with them in the future, so get to know them first. You'll have to ask them to go easy on you if you want to get your game approved. "
"That's Zhang in charge of the official app store."
"That's Liu in charge of the Illusion Game Editor."
Chen Mo was getting a headache as he memorized them one by one.
After introducing the leaders, Qiu Hengyang continued to introduce the designers.
"That's the three S-grade designers from Emperor Dynasty Entertainment. You know Qiu Jiang, the other two are Yan Zhenyuan and Qin Xiao. They're all in charge of VR games, and Zen Entertainment …"
"That's Ran He, the designer of Fire Assault. We met at the lecture yesterday …"
Chen Mo memorized as Qiu Hengyang introduced them. He didn't really care about these people, but it was always good to get to know more people. It would be awkward if he didn't know their names when he met them in the future.
There weren't many S-grade designers either. It was about time for the ceremony after Qiu Hengyang introduced all the S-grade designers and a few A-grade designers.
Chen Mo exclaimed, "There are so many talented people here. I've only realized that there are so many talented people here at this ceremony."
Qiu Hengyang nodded, "Of course, it's going to be lively with all the top players in the Chinese gaming industry here."
As the host went on stage, the designers who were whispering to each other immediately quieted down as a round of applause rang out.
The leaders were already seated. They were basically the department heads of the various departments in the Game Committee. They sat down according to the pre-arranged seats.
Chen Mo also noticed Qiao Hua, who contacted him earlier. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, skinny and elegant. He took good care of himself, completely different from the fat middle-aged men.
The chairman of the Game Committee, Zhang Zhongxiang, gave his speech.
The speech lasted for ten minutes. The content was no different from other leaders' speeches. It was nothing more than a summary of last year's achievements, pointing out some shortcomings, and proposing a development plan for the next year.
Soon, the speech ended and the award ceremony officially began.
Chen Mo could feel that this award ceremony wasn't as serious as the Science and Technology Award ceremony, it was more relaxed.
According to the process of the awards ceremony, the first thing to be announced was the Game Committee's honorary committee members.
The host spoke at a moderate pace, "I would like to announce that the honorary members of the Game Committee this year are: Li Feng, designer of Wings of Starsoul; Zhang Xiaokong, designer of Nightmare Three Kingdoms; Chen Mo, designer of Wulin Legend and Onmyoji; Zhu Fanglin, designer of Earthbound; and Dream Sword … Please come up to the stage to receive your award!"
Soon, a staff member found their positions and guided them to the stage.
The Game Committee would accept ten video game designers as honorary committee members each year. These video game designers were generally young, and they had to create a game that represented the industry within the year.
Obviously, other than Chen Mo, everyone else was especially excited, to the point that they were walking with a slight limp.
The other video game designers were all green with envy.
"Honorary committee member, that's amazing. It's like showing your face in front of the Game Committee and getting an official status."
"How long has Li Feng wanted to be an honorary committee member? He's been in the industry for seven or eight years, and he's made quite a few successful games. He only got in this year with Wings of Starsoul. "
"That's right. It's mainly because the official platform has to consider many aspects. It's not just about earning money, it has to have a certain level of influence and professionalism. For example, Evil Earth Travel was chosen because it used traditional cultural materials."
"But Chen Mo is an anomaly! He just became a B-grade video game designer this year, how did he jump straight to A-grade and even become an honorary committee member? "
"Are you comparing him to Chen Mo? That's a monster! "
"Yeah, he already made a name for himself in front of the Game Committee when he made Warcraft and Wulin Legend. When Onmyoji's revenue came out, the honorary committee member position was basically set in stone."
"Making both Western Fantasy and Wuxia, what a monster, I can't help but be jealous."
Chen Mo followed the team onto the stage, where the person in charge of giving out the awards handed out the certificates.
The honorary committee members didn't have an acceptance speech, so they left the stage after getting their certificates and taking pictures with them.
Qiu Hengyang asked, "How did it feel to be on stage?"
Chen Mo replied, "Not really."
Qiu Hengyan laughed, "Don't worry, it's just the beginning, the highlight is yet to come."
After giving out the certificates, it was time for the awards to be given out.
Especially the A-grade and S-grade video game designers, they were all looking at the stage nervously. These awards were very important to them, it was equivalent to receiving recognition and recognition after a year of hard work.
Soon, the first award was announced: Best Sound Design.
The person on stage cleared his throat, "I hereby announce that the winner of this year's best sound design is Dream Journey, designer Zhou Haibin!"
The audience instantly burst into enthusiastic applause!
Zhou Haibin stood up excitedly, his face filled with excitement and disbelief.
Qiu Hengyang was also clapping, he turned to Chen Mo and said, "This is an indie game, and Zhou Haibin is very talented in music, so it's no surprise that he got this award. But it's not easy for him to get this far as an indie game designer. "
Chen Mo also applauded. Indeed, a designer who treated games as art was worthy of respect.
Zhou Haibin went on stage to give his acceptance speech.
"Thank you, thank you. I didn't expect to get this award, as I'm making an indie game that's very niche. The gameplay isn't that great, and the only selling points are the music and sound design. Today, this award means a lot to me, because it is an affirmation of "Dream Journey", and also an affirmation of me personally. I'd like to thank the Game Committee members, and the players who have always supported me, thank you! "
Another round of applause.
