Game Entertainment Empire

A day later, after getting the officially reserved tickets from the ticket counter, Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang went to Shanghai.

It is not far from Jiangshi to Shanghai, and the high-speed rail is only about an hour's drive away. After getting off the bus, I took a taxi from the taxi at the station, and the two went directly to the official venue.

"Can we win the award? I just read the comments on the Internet, and it seems that there is a lot of support for us to win the award!" Wang Yaliang and Yang Chen in the back row were whispering next to each other.

"There is a high probability. The best ideas may be captured by us, and the others are not clear. As for the best independent game, there may be little hope, because "Octopian Traveler" and "The Binding of Isaac" have a strong commercial flavor. Yes." Yang Chen thought for a while and said.

The game industry has developed so far, it is almost like a movie. It does not mean that your game sales are high and you can win an award. If it is an award that players participate in, it is who is more popular.

However, such as the Golden Bird Game Award, which is more official, the sales volume is only a reference. The Golden Bird Game Award is more inclined to give the award method of the best independent game to some games with profound meaning.

To put it simply, it is the type of literary film in the movie, but also in order to greet the attention of the players, the Golden Bird Game Award also has a most popular award for players to participate in, mainly for the players to judge by themselves.

It is compared to the popularity of the manufacturer's game.

"That's it!" Listening to Yang Chen's words, Wang Yaliang showed a stunned expression.

Chatting along the way, two people arrived at the venue after half an hour.

Shanghai Grand Theater, including some games and e-sports events, as well as star concerts, drama performances, and some awards activities have been held here.

It has been five years since the Golden Bird Game Awards chose Shanghai Grand Theater as the venue for the awards ceremony.

Unlike some other game awards, the Golden Bird Game Awards have some official flavors, and basically they are not invited to the outside world. Except for people in the game circle, ordinary players will not be invited as audiences.

There were quite a lot of people in the theater, and some people who knew each other greeted each other, while Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang were blank when they got their names.

Don't be at a loss, there is no way, what should I do if no one knows?

After contacting the official in advance to say hello, Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang's seat numbers were linked together, and those who found the numbers were seated as two people.

However, what surprised Yang Chen a bit was that there was an acquaintance next to his seat.

Lin Jiayi of Chang'an Studio, and Zhuo Qing.

When they saw Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang, the other party was obviously stunned.

"This is our first time meeting, right?" Lin Jia greeted with a smile and introduced Zhuo Qing next to her.

Although the two have talked several times on the phone, they have never met each other in reality.

"Indeed." Yang Chen nodded and introduced Wang Yaliang.

"How did you come up with this method of The Binding of Isaac? I feel like this kind of gameplay is like being born for indie games, well, I mean indie games are very suitable for such a kind of gameplay. "Lin Jiayi said with great interest.

"Dream in a dream." Yang Chen smiled and said honestly.

"So, I also have a lot of ideas about the game, and they are all dreams." Lin Jiayi showed a very happy expression on his face, as if he had met a confidant.

"But how did you come up with the idea of ​​using modern techniques to combine pixel styles? It's a great attempt. I tried it after watching it, but it didn't have that kind of taste, and it felt very inconsistent." Lin Jiayi continued. asked.

"Actually, I saw it in my dream." Yang Chen told the truth very honestly.

However, the smile on Lin Jia's face froze.

The first time you said in a dream,

I believe it?

The second time, are you still in a dream?

The development cycle of the two games is only a few months. Do you dream of being so awesome?

"Humph……"

Lin Jiayi didn't say anything, but when he entered the venue, a middle-aged man who had just sat behind Yang Chen couldn't help but snorted while listening to their conversation.

Although the voice was very soft, it was very close, and there was not much noise in the venue, so Yang Chen and the others heard it clearly, and turned to look with some doubts.

"The game is also an art. It's not just about having fun, but showing something more core through the gameplay. This is what gamers should do."

Yang Chen, Wang Yaliang: ? ? ? ? ?

Listening to the other person's appearance, Yang Chen and Wang Yaliang looked confused.

Uncle, who are you? we know you?

"Okay, Old Wang, what are you going to wear? The lemon essence is reincarnated?"

Seeing that Lin Jiayi next to the other party clearly knew him, he laughed and teased, and then introduced him to Yang Chen.

"My former classmate is now the chief producer of Jiasheng Games, but after so many years of making games, he has released two million-dollar games, and it took a year to accumulate them." Lin Jiayi Said without hesitation.

"I follow a different business route than you, and your game can easily cost millions, tens of millions, and my game development cost is only a million at most? And how many game awards have you won?" Wang Chang An snorted again.

Hearing the two people mocking each other, Yang Chen probably understood.

This Wang Changan is almost like a director who makes a literary film. He likes to engage in deep thoughts in games.

Video games are called the ninth art, and with the development of the industry, there are actually many such game makers.

Although most gamers are not very interested in this kind of game, it does not mean that this game really does not make money, it can only be said that it does not make much money.

"The real game is to make the players have fun. Who would have the leisure to listen to you? And your games have sold millions of dollars, and many of them are given away by Xijiayi. How many players can you understand? ?"

"vulgar……"

"You are elegant, then don't make money, don't eat."

Lin Jiayi and Wang Changan next to them chatted and chatted, but it was basically Lin Jiayi who was talking. Faced with the more murderous question, Wang Changan, who couldn't answer for a long time, just hummed. He stopped talking for a while.

"However, you're here today basically to make soy sauce. "Time and Space" and "Time and Space Wheel" are not independent games, even if other game media say they are independent games." Wang Changan glanced at Lin Jiayi.

"Just use soy sauce. Anyway, the sales of the two games have exceeded 2 million recently." Lin Jia said with a smile.

"The idea of ​​"Octopian Traveler" is very good, but the plot can be better, and "The Binding of Isaac" feels that you haven't digged deeply in many places, such as the monsters in the dungeon in "The Binding of Isaac", Is it the product of the fantasy of Isaac's abuse, and why is the final boss Isaac himself?" Too lazy to talk to Lin Jiayi, Wang Changan said regretfully to Yang Chen after changing the subject.

Everyone else focused on Isaac's gameplay, but he focused on the plot.

In this regard, Yang Chen can only perfunctory with a smile, after all, the other party has no malicious intentions, just expressing his own views.

On the other hand, Wang Yaliang, who was next to him, played with his mobile phone with his head down silently, saying that it had nothing to do with her at all.

A few people chatted. Although there was no deep friendship before, Yang Chen could still feel that Wang Changan didn't actually have any malicious intentions, just that his speech was a little straight.

At this time, music suddenly sounded from all sides, and then the big screen became cold, and the game screen displayed one square after another, and the host appeared with a word card and a microphone in his hand.

The place also became quiet.

Yang Chen and Lin Jiayi stopped communicating with Wang Changan. After the brief opening speech, the host went straight to the topic, and the squares on the big screen began to disappear: "First, let's reveal the Today's first award, the Best Drama Award..."
