The next award was for best art. This ti it wasn’t an indie ga, it was received by Ascension, a VR ga by Zen Entertainnt.
The designer was also very emotional, thanking the leaders, their company, and the players as per usual.
The rewards were being handed out one by one, best visuals, best debut work, best level design, best models...
These awards focused on different points. For example, art focused on art, and visuals focused on graphics from an artistic point of view. One must have an excellent art style to be able to receive the ward.
Most of the awards at the beginning were taken by PC or VR gas. There were so indie gas too, but mobile gas have yet to be represented.
Although a ga like Onmyoji was one of the best in the mobile industry, it still couldn’t go toe to toe to VR or PC gas.
Soon, they reached awards by genre, Best FPS ga, Best Fighting Ga, Best Sports Ga...
Finally, they reached the Best Strategy Ga.
The leader on the stage handing out the awards had changed a couple tis, this ti it was Qiao Hua’s turn handing out awards.
Many had an idea who could win this category as there was only one person who made an RTS in the country this year, and there was only one person who made a really popular RTS ga!
Qiao Hua said sternly, “I’m happy to announce, the winner of this year’s Best Strategy Ga Award is—the designer of Warcraft, Chen Mo!
A huge wave of applause followed!
Many knew who was going to win this award this year as Warcraft was really eye catching in the RTS industry. It managed to overco an overseas ga like Legion Conquest too. Moreover, it was doing really well no matter in or outside of China, so this award was well deserved.
Chen Mo went up the stage to receive the award.
Qiao Hua passed the award to Chen Mo, smiling, “Congratulations.”
Chen Mo nodded in thanks, then grabbed the microphone to start his speech.
“Everybody knows that Warcraft is an excellent ga. Therefore I fully acknowledge the acknowledgent the officials give this ga. Thank you.”
There was a mont of silence before another huge wave of applause.
“Hahaha, this Chen Mo guy loves ssing around! He’s doing it when he received an award too!”
“My goodness, does his family know he’s doing this?”
“Warcraft’s results are to be proud of.”
“But that’s crazy what he did! It’s an award ceremony after all, and the leaders are all watching!”
There were varying reactions from the leaders.
“This Chen Mo is quite cocky,” Mr Zhang from the official appstore departnt scowled.
“He’s still young, it’s a good thing. Moreover, the video ga industry is an industry that needs personalities like this,” Chairman Zhang Zhongxiang waved his hand, “He can be even more bold if he makes better gas.”
Soon, the awards for various genres were done. Up next were the more important gas, Best VR GA, Best PC Ga, and Best Mobile Ga.
Best VR Ga was awarded to Qiu Jiang’s Moon Lord’s Prophecy. The ga was released at the end of the year, and seed like it had a chance at overtaking Legend of the Sword to receive Ga of the Year.
Best PC Ga was awarded to “Songs of Deter”, Zen Entertainnt’s MMORPG, now commonly viewed as Zen Entertainnt’s hit product after Tale of the Sword.
Next was the Best Mobile Ga Award.
Most didn’t care about this award in previous years as mobile gas focused on casual gas. Even if there might be one or two decent gas, they’d hover around thirty to forty million RMB in monthly revenue.
This year wasn’t like the last as Onmyoji managed to get over three hundred million in monthly revenue, surpassing many PC gas by a longshot.
“Best Mobile Ga, probably Onmyoji.”
“But Onmyoji has a japanese the. Are the leaders going to like it? Most gas that receive the award are Chinese thed.”
“It’s difficult to say. Onmyoji’s results are right there in plain sight, and the monthly revenue is sky high.”
“The leaders are just basing it on profitability, they take artistic value and uniqueness into account too, it’s hard to tell.”
Everyone was waiting for the winner to be announced.
“I’m happy to announce, this year’s winner for Best Mobile Ga Is—
“The designer of Onmyoji, Chen Mo!”
Chen Mo was a bit surprised, but he still got up and walked onto the stage.
There was a lot of chatter under the stage.
“It really was Onmyoji!”
“That ans the leaders don’t mind its the?”
“You think they really care that much about it? They can accept western thes, so why not japanese thes? Moreover, if the players like it doesn’t that an it’s a good ga?”
“That’s true.”
Chen Mo accepted his trophy and grabbed the microphone.
“To be honest, I’m surprised to receive this award. Strictly speaking, I don’t think Onmyoji is a perfect ga.
‘I think Mr Zhang Yuanchao’s Ho and Mr Lin Yuan’s Evening Valley Rain were all incredible Chinese thed gas. Their graphics were much better than Onmyoji. I think I’m unworthy of this award.
“I will continue working hard to be able to make gas that are artistically rich and able to represent China so I can live up to this award. Thank you!”
Applause followed the end of his speech. MAny thought that CHen Mo would deliver a speech like his last one, but Chen Mo was really down to earth in accepting Onmyoji’s flaws. This made them feel like Chen Mo wasn’t soone with no respect, netting him a lot of applause.
