On the other side of the Emperor Chao Interactive Entertainment, Qiu Jiang also turned around and greeted Chen Mo.

The S-level designers in the front row are older, basically in their forties. Designers like this have a high status in the circle, and many of them no longer need to be active in the front line of R&D.

And those really active designers are not too old, basically between the ages of 27 or 80 and 40.

The reason why many designers here seem very young and even get the position of S-level designers earlier than Chen Mo is not because they have cheated, but because they are taking a completely different path from Chen Mo.

Chen Mo started from scratch, from mobile games, to PC, and then to VR, step by step. At the beginning, he had no money, no people, no resources, and no channels. He made games by himself very slowly, and he accumulated a little bit.

These younger S-level designers often serve as assistants to other S-level designers as soon as they enter the industry and have been in contact with VR games very early. After working for two or three years, they will start to independently take charge of some of the content in large VR games. In another two or three years, they will start to independently take charge of VR game projects under large companies such as Di Dynasty and Zen, and obtain the qualification of S-level designers.

It can be believed that some people who are also senior executives of a company have started step by step from the grassroots level and have been rising, but the starting point is relatively low; while others come in through special channels such as management training, so they have become senior executives in just a few years.

Relatively speaking, Chen Mo's path is more difficult, but it is also more comprehensive, and will not be subject to capital and channels.

In the eyes of others, Chen Mo's development speed can be regarded as a demon-level expression, because other S-level designers often only make VR games, while Chen Mo is a mobile phone, and he is proficient in both PC and VR.

...

Soon, the award ceremony officially began.

The host takes the stage.

Reincarnation leads to resignation.

Announce this year's list of honorary members of the Tourism Committee.

Issuing certificates and taking photos.

The whole process was basically fixed. Ten new designers were very excited to go on stage to get the certificate, their faces full of excitement.

Some designers here have obtained the status of honorary committee members after one or two years of entering the industry, while most of them have obtained it for more than five years of entering the industry. There are also many people who have been in the industry for seven or eight years or even longer, but they can't get it, so they can only envy them in the audience.

For Chen Mo, he had already had the identity of honorary committee member. Now, seeing these people come to the stage to receive the award, he feels like "time flies".

After that, various awards began to be announced one after another.

At the beginning, there were various small awards, best music, best art, best visual art, best debut work, best level design, best character shaping, best narrative, best performance...

Chen Mo didn't expect much of these awards, mainly because his main works this year, "League of Legends", "Escape" and "Overwatch" are all competitive games. If you have to say artistic things, you don't have any special advantages.

However, Chen Mo's goal was not at these small awards, and he only had one goal, which was the game of the year.

These awards have basically been won by some A-level designers. The games made by these designers are all distinctive games, so it is easier to stand out when selecting such category awards.

However, what surprised Chen Mo was that he actually won the award.

After the award for Best Performance was awarded, the next award was the best atmosphere, which was awarded to the horror game "Escape" produced by Chen Mo.

This surprised Chen Mo. He originally thought that controversial works like "Escape" should not win awards, because there is no "best horror game" in the category games. In terms of artistic terms, "Escape" has no special advantages compared to other VR games.

This award for the best atmosphere was awarded to first-person adventure games with strong immersion in previous years. This year, it may be because the horror atmosphere of "Escape" was created so well that it was awarded to a horror game for the first time.

For Chen Mo, this was also an unexpected surprise. While taking the stage to receive the award, he also thanked the Travel Committee for its understanding and tolerance for the game "Escape" and the support of the players.

...

Next is the most anticipated game. This award was selected from the unlisted games, and it was finally given to Zen Interactive Entertainment's VR game "The Road to the Immortal 2".

The predecessor of this game has achieved considerable success, and has won the Best Art Award, and its art style can be said to be unique. The influence of the predecessor and Zen Interactive Entertainment's long-standing publicity and preheating have made this game attract much attention before it was released.

Then there was the best expansion pack, which was given to Ran He's "Fire Assault".

"Fire Assault" has always been a representative work of domestic FPS games. The new expansion pack has also received a very good response, and it deserves the award.

Next, there is a relatively special award, the best operating game.

The leader on the stage cleared his throat: "I announced that the one who won the best operating game of the year is "League of Legends", designer Chen Mo!"

There was a burst of warm applause in the audience instantly!

Chen Mo stood up very calmly and walked towards the stage.

Indeed, there is basically no suspense about this award. In this regard, the popularity of "League of Legends" has indeed overwhelmed all other games in China.

Because the operation methods of other games are still at the stage of advertising, promotion, and activities, the operation activities of "League of Legends" have focused their attention on e-sports events.

"League of Legends" season 1 global finals caused a certain sensation at home and abroad, with popularity and number of viewers breaking records. During the S1 finals, related topics became hot searches on Weibo and swept through major game media and forums. Even many people who don't play games heard about this.

After the global finals, the champion skin of "League of Legends" was sold again, and it promoted the game itself.

Whether it is the promotional method or the promotional effect, "League of Legends" deserves this award.

Chen Mo came to the stage again, a little bit exhausted.

Because when he won the award in "Escape" before, he had already thanked everything he should have thanked, but it didn't take the stage for a second time. It seemed a bit inappropriate to thank him again.
Chapter completed!
