Chapter 42

  The outside world is noisy, but the cooperation between Xbox and Sprout Studio has not been affected in any way.

　　　There is no sound from Sprout Studio, but Xbox is constantly running related content.

TheGameAwards is hailed by players as the Oscars of the gaming industry. It is a global annual video game selection event. After the game works are voted by the players and the media jury, the winners of each award will be officially announced.

 The general rules of the awards are similar to those of Ye Feng's previous life, but they are also a little different.

　　The previous TGA was not an award ceremony where player votes dominated the final result. No matter how many official portals the voting channel was opened to, player votes always accounted for only 10%, while the media jury accounted for as high as 90%.

 In this world, the two results are completely reversed.

 Player voting accounts for 90%, and media review accounts for 10%.

 All player votes are real votes. First of all, votes from the same IP are excluded. Game accounts also need corresponding annual active time, eliminating the mechanism of brushing votes and points.

 The purpose is to select the most realistic results.

 There are real-time synchronized voting results online. From the very beginning, in the column of best independent game, "Dead Cells" has been far ahead in the voting.

 This award is used to recognize outstanding works that cannot invest a lot of money in research and development and promotion, but are full of innovation and fun in gameplay.

  TGA divides the awards into 32 categories, including Game of the Year, Most Anticipated Game in the Future, Best Action Game, Best Independent Game…

 There are many categories, giving games of different types and sizes the opportunity to win awards.

 Because the size of the game is too small, the game under Ye Feng’s name cannot win the best game of the year in this selection event.

 But what is unexpected is that in addition to Dead Cells, several other games also received a lot of votes in other awards.

Best Narrative Game—This War of Mine

Best family game—Kitchen Kitchen

Best Action Game—Dead Cells

Best Indie Game—Dead Cells

 Before the awards list came out, no one could have imagined that a small studio could occupy such an important position.

 The moment he saw the list, Ivan smiled.

 He directly shared the web link with Lambert. There are a total of thirty-two awards, and no one has ever been able to occupy four.

 No, that’s not right, it’s five.

Evan looked at the column of the most anticipated game awards. Bloodborne ranked second in the number of votes, but its upward momentum was very strong.

 He did not hesitate and voted for Bloodborne directly.

Looking at the increasing number of votes on the screen, the upward trend was more moving than the stock. He couldn't help but said to himself, "Carter, you really introduced me to a legend."

 …

 “Vote, vote for the old thief!” Yinzi fully utilized his advantage as a host and frantically pulled votes for Ye Feng in the live broadcast room.

"One person monopolizes half of the country, who else? Who else!" Yinzi couldn't restrain his inner excitement.

 In the past, he has never participated in this type of list competition, because the previous list selections had little to do with the game designers of Daxia.

 Although it is embarrassing to say it, it is the fact.

“Swiping votes? Do I lead players to swipe votes?” Yinzi saw a barrage saying that he was swiping votes, and emotions suddenly came to his heart.

"I do have the mentality of swiping votes, but I can say with certainty that the old thief's performance has nothing to do with swiping votes." After Yinzi finished speaking, he clicked on the components of the vote count.

“You must not have noticed. Click on the vote details to see the IP composition of the vote. Among the votes obtained by the old thief, only 7% belong to Daxia players, and 93% are foreign players.”

"You said we should swipe votes? Do you mean I should lead foreign players to swipe votes? I'm just a small anchor, I don't have that much energy." Yinzi looked at the tally of votes, but there was a hint of pride in his voice.

"I don't want to say more. If you question the quality of his game, you can buy the game yourself and give it a try." When he said this, Yinzi was a little angry. The game has been on the shelves for so long, and the quality is poor. It is obvious to all, but there are still so many doubts in the market.

Fans have never seen Brother Yin so angry.

 ‘I still don’t believe his game is that good unless you give me one. ’

　　‘I’ve heard all your calculations. ’

 ‘Oh my god, Naughty Kitchen is on the list. When I saw the name, my heart throbbed. ’

 ‘Sometimes I wonder, is five prizes the limit for an old thief? ’

 …

Yinzi saw the barrage with sharp eyes. He looked at the other game awards and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

“Those who won awards this year should really be glad that they released the game early. If the game is produced next year, it may not be able to win the award.” Yinzi did not hide his intention to speak for Ye Feng.

“Don’t look at the big prizes, the old thief is really hardworking.

“In the six months since the studio was established, it has produced four games, and next year, it will be eight games.” Yinzi smiled jokingly and counted the numbers on his fingers.

 He knew he couldn't calculate it like this, but he couldn't help it.

“I don’t want any other awards. I just want to be a good blood source and win next year’s Best of the Year award.” Yinzi looked at the annual award. This award is definitely the Oscar in the gaming industry.

As he was speaking, a rocket shot into the sky in the live broadcast room.

 “Thank you Black Star for sending me the rocket.”

Yinzi thanked the gift as usual, but he was shocked just after he finished reading.

black Star? Is this a real person?

 When he clicked on that person’s profile, the sprouting studio for subsequent certification was clearly visible.

 “Old thief! Damn it!”

Yinzi did not hesitate and directly chose Lianmai.

"Old thief, are you confident that you will win the best game of the year next year? As long as your game is completed, I promise to canvass you for votes. All my votes and the votes of my fans will be given to you."

 Ye Feng smiled, "How many awards do you think I can win next year?"

Yinzi was silent when asked by Ye Feng, "I just hope you do Bloodborne well and win the best award of the year."

“The rest of the prizes are tempting, but they are just icing on the cake.”

"Then you will be disappointed." Ye Feng shook his head, "I have the best player of the year in mind, but it is not the blood source."

 “As for how many awards we can win next year?”

“I can’t say for sure. I think 32 awards is the limit for the annual selection, but it is definitely not my limit.”

As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, the live broadcast room fell into silence.

 They just think Ye Feng is a little crazy. Does he mean that he wants to win a Grand Slam?

 But how is this possible?

 It is now November, only one month before the new year, and it is impossible to win all the awards in one year.

 “Don’t be too arrogant!” Yinzi couldn’t help roaring.

 “It’s just a joke.” Ye Feng said happily, “But I am very diligent.”
