Video Game Designer

Selected? What was selected?

Seeing Chuhe's surprised look, Wu Zifei and Xu Zhi next to him looked at each other in blank dismay.

But soon after hanging up the phone, Chuhe answered their questions.

"I just received the notification. We received the TGA notification. Including the best game of the year and the best multiplayer game, we have received a total of 5 nominations." Chu He looked at Xu Zhi and Wu Zifei and said.

Newly sponsored by industry giants such as Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo, TGA has replaced the previous VGA and VGX, and is known as the Oscar ceremony in the gaming industry.

And the games selected for each game award must be released in that year, and there are only 5 nominations. It is definitely a lie to say that a game maker doesn't care about this award at all.

Compared with other game awards, there is no doubt that the TGA awards are the most authoritative event.

There are a total of five nominations for each award, all of which are voted by players. At the same time, the award-winning games are not just judged and selected, but will refer to the opinions of most players.

Hearing Chuhe's words, Wu Zifei and Xu Zhi beside them also showed expressions of surprise and envy.

As people in the game industry, how could they not know the name of TGA?

Even if it is nominated for the TGA award, it also shows that its game is definitely an extremely successful game, whether it is commercial or otherwise.

"Congratulations, Mr. Chu." Wu Zifei smiled and congratulated Chuhe.

"Although we have been nominated for the best game of the year, it is unlikely that it will be our turn." Chu He shook his head and said.

The best game of the year is Left 4 Dead, along with EA’s Battlefield One, Activision’s Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed, and a big-name production compared to the previous few. Much inferior, but a small production with a strong artistic atmosphere.

Produced by a small independent video game company established in Santa Monica, California, and a company released by a company that exerts its directorial power to enter the game circle, it is a game invested by Annable - What Remains of Edith Finch.

With a special style of painting, the game is produced in the way of movie narration. Players who love this game will regard it as a masterpiece, and players who don't like it will sneer at it.

Probably because of tradition, or special care, or other reasons, every TGA nomination for the best game of the year will have one or two independent games included in the nomination list.

But there has never been an independent game that can get this supreme glory.

Although he said that he was hopeless, Chuhe felt that he might still have some hope for this year's TGA awards ceremony, because the nominated contestants were not strong.

The most likely opponents are Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty Modern Warfare. One returns to the old World War I, perfectly creating a cruel war atmosphere; the other sets the background to virtual time and the world, modern war weapons, and tension. Stimulating battles and first-class picture effects make people extremely intoxicated.

As for Ubisoft's new Assassin's Creed series, it's basically the one that runs with you. Compared with the previous Assassin's Creed, although Ubisoft wants to make breakthrough innovations and has made many attempts, it is basically a change. It does not change the medicine, and it is full of Ubisoft game features, such as BUG and a large number of repetitive tasks.

If it weren't for the fact that there are relatively few game masterpieces released this year, and with the bonus of its own Assassin's Creed IP, Chuhe feels that none of the new Assassin's Creed games this time will be included in the nominations of TGA.

"The engine you use is Unity. If you have technical problems, you can learn from Longzu. They are definitely at the top level in the use of Unity in China." Chu He looked at Wu Zifei and Xu Zhi.

Regarding the development work of Time at Portia, in fact, Paz Meow has already started production, and the engine used is the same as most game manufacturers in Donne, which is the engine of Unity.

It's not that I don't want to use a better engine, but there are too many conditions required. Funds are one aspect, and talents are another aspect.

Basically, companies that will learn new engines usually have strong financial resources, such as Penguin and Wangyi. Otherwise, most small game companies will still use the more mature unity engine.

Chatted with Wu Zifei and Xu Zhi about the concept of the game Time at Portia, as well as some of its details. In the afternoon, they left Tianhe Network and returned to the mountain city.

Regarding the matter of investment, it was not carried out with great fanfare. After all, it was not a big deal, and Chuhe did not take this small investment into consideration.

As for losing money, according to the game planning plan given by the other party, it can be said to be a good game. Delegating power to the other party to improve the quality of the game may not be able to make a lot of money, but it will definitely not lose money.

After seeing off Wu Zifei and the two of them, Chuhe contacted the development team of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Next, they will go to the United States again, and they will go to the TGA Awards Ceremony soon.

Besides the five nominations notified by TGA, Chuhe now finally knows what Charles meant by surprise when he was in EA.

This time, he not only wanted to go to the TGA site as an award nomination, but TGA also invited him as a special event guest.

In addition to him, Hideo Kojima who has left Konami to create his own studio and invested in Sony, Charles from EA, Phil, the president of XBOX, and the money from Valve who is blown by strong winds will never count to three. Once it’s summer vacation The man who watched you with a smile on Christmas will also appear as a special guest, and it can be said that all the big names in the game industry participated in it.

Being able to be invited to play is undoubtedly an affirmation of Chuhe. At least Chuhe never thought that he would be invited by the TGA organizer to be a special guest.

"However, this year's TGA is announced, and there may be some controversy." Chu He looked at the received information and thought inwardly.

Because it is different from the previous TGA, this year's award has been changed compared with the previous awards, and there is also a very controversial award.

This award is an award sponsored by Penguin alone. It is called the best Chinese game, and the list of five games selected also covers various ranks of online games, mobile games, and stand-alone games. Three of the five are related to Penguin. .

"I don't know which ghost came up with the propaganda method. TGA, which has always been regarded as an authority by players, probably will attract a lot of infamy this time, and Penguin, who has been committed to whitewashing, this time he beat a man in the mound. Get lost." Chu He shook his head and sighed.

In fact, this is just an ordinary PY transaction. Even if it hasn't started yet, Chuhe has already expected the follow-up. It is estimated that this is the first time that there will be an award for the best Chinese game, and it will also be the last time.
