Chapter 177 Let the World Begin to Change! (The End)
"Brothers, it looks like Black Monkey is planning to sweep all the awards this year if this trend continues."
The TGA awards ceremony was playing on Su Tao's live stream screen.
Logically, Starcard Games' Terraria should have won a TGA award last year, but it only received a nomination.
This year, Black Myth: Wukong not only won Best Action Game, but also Most Anticipated Game, Best Narrative Game, and the most prestigious Game of the Year.
The appearance of Black Monkey allowed Huaxia, which had never won a TGA award before, to sweep four major awards in the TGA sub-categories in one go, which is enough to show the excellence of this game.
With Black Myth: Wukong winning a series of international awards, the game's popularity has surged once again, achieving a second breakthrough.
This made Black Monkey a household name overseas.
Neon, Edo, Konami Corporation.
Last month, President Kim Jung sat alone in his office, and after witnessing the terrifying power of the Black Monkey, he began to regret the decision he had made months earlier.
The elaborate scheme he meticulously devised for the Chinese people has now quietly become a vicious dog that turns against him.
From the moment Black Myth: Wukong won the TGA Game of the Year award, his attempt to piggyback on Black Myth: Wukong's success with Pro Evolution Soccer became utterly ridiculous.
This no longer falls into the category of a challenge; it's blatant suicide.
As Black Monkey's quality gained widespread recognition within the industry, even when the Golden Keyboard Awards, hosted by the Chinese organization, ultimately awarded Black Monkey the Best Game of the Year, it could no longer claim that this was due to insider dealings in the awards.
Even after the awards ceremony, he and Konami Corporation may be ridiculed as arrogant clowns.
You have to understand, this is not just a loss of face for him and his company, but for the entire Japanese people.
Therefore, Kim Jong-un was extremely restless last month, constantly thinking about how to break the deadlock.
He sat there from morning until evening, spending almost all his time, apart from some extremely important tasks, thinking about how to break the deadlock.
Ultimately, he had no choice but to sacrifice his own interests to protect the greater good.
Just a few months after Konami Corporation announced its participation in the Golden Keyboard Awards, the company's official account posted another notice withdrawing from the award selection process.
Of course, Kim Jong-un did not directly state the real reason for her withdrawal in the announcement last month. Instead, she maintained the fine tradition of Japan by using some rambling and convoluted language to cover up the real reason and save face as much as possible.
Even so, last month, Kim Jong-un and Konami Corporation remained a topic of conversation among gamers for a long time, and fans who liked Konami's games were unable to stand up for themselves in subsequent arguments with other players.
Fortunately, Kim Jong made a decision last month that minimized the damage. Apart from receiving some criticism, neither she nor her company was greatly affected.
Compared to the reputation of Japanese people, the company's reputation seems less important.
However, Kim Jong-un's actions last month actually helped Ren Kang's Golden Keyboard Awards gain a significant amount of attention, bringing this award, which was organized by a Chinese person, back into the public eye.
As time passed, the Golden Keyboard Awards ceremony arrived as scheduled.
As this is the first game industry award with international influence organized by Chinese people, Ren Kang specially chose the spacious and modern Beijing Gymnasium as the venue for the awards ceremony.
Surprisingly, not only did the CEO of Jade Company attend the awards ceremony, but also leaders from many internationally renowned game companies and some famous game reviewers came to Beijing, China, to participate in the Golden Keyboard Awards ceremony.
Seeing the foreign faces in the guest seats, many viewers at the awards ceremony and in the live broadcast room couldn't help but feel a deep sense of pride.
Before this, China didn't have a single game that had won a TGA award. Now, with the emergence of Star Card Games, not only has China broken its zero record in TGA awards, but it has also helped Ren Kang host China's first international game award, which has gained international recognition.
This signifies that China is no longer a game wasteland, but has transformed from a pawn into a player who sets the rules.
"This is awesome, guys! Tonight is going to be historic!"
"When I think about those two clowns next to me, who always like to boast about being a gaming powerhouse but don't even have a single decent international gaming award, I can't help but laugh."
"I looked outside and the Japanese were alright, but the Koreans were in an uproar. They all think that Starcard and CEO Chen stole Korean ideas to create so many high-quality games, which is exactly what they are doing, maintaining their usual thieving style."
Comments scrolled rapidly across the live stream chat.
After all, the number of viewers in the live stream has exceeded ten million, and countless bullet comments appear every minute and every second, quickly scrolling across the screen, making it dazzling.
At the awards ceremony, Chen Dong was sitting in the VIP seat in the first row. Not only was one of his company's games nominated for the Golden Keyboard Awards, but he was also one of the founding partners of the Golden Keyboard Awards, so it was not surprising that he was sitting in this position.
Looking at the Chinese faces on the stage and the traditional Chinese costumes worn by the host, Chen Dong couldn't help but feel as if he were in another world.
Suddenly, Chen Dong felt someone pat him on the shoulder twice.
Turning around, the rough, wrinkled face of Jade Company's CEO, Ivor, appeared before him.
"Mr. Chen, your company's 'Black Myth: Wukong' is indeed an excellent game."
To Chen Dong's surprise, when Eve said this, she did not use her native French, but spoke Chinese with an awkward accent.
This smell inexplicably reminded Chen Dong of a French gambling god in a movie who liked to have his shoes shined.
Faced with Ifre's praise, Chen Dong simply smiled politely, then turned back to look at the stage.
Seeing Chen Dong's action, Ifre's expression froze. He awkwardly licked his lips and withdrew his right hand, which was halfway out.
In his view, Chen Dong was very arrogant, but he had the right to be arrogant.
With the international success of "Black Myth: Wukong" and the growing international recognition and influence of the Golden Keyboard Awards, China is no longer the gaming desert that used to rejoice at winning an international award, but has gradually become a powerhouse in the gaming industry.
As China's game development capabilities have improved, the global game industry landscape is gradually changing.
As time went by, to the surprise of the entire world's gaming community, after Black Myth: Wukong, Chen Dong once again delivered a groundbreaking AAA masterpiece—Titanfall!
Furthermore, as the book "We Promised to Develop a Match-3 Game, What the Heck is Titanfall?" grew longer and longer, Starcard also saw the emergence of more and more excellent game projects, which were successfully developed into games that became real-world games.
Thus, StarCard Games gradually became a massive global gaming empire.
This has prompted the world to proactively change and abandon its past stereotypes about the Chinese people.
(The story ends here. Although it has a bad ending, it's still better than leaving it unfinished.)
Even if I continued writing, it would just be a repetition of the same old formula, and wouldn't be very meaningful.
Finally, thank you so much to all the readers of this book for your support!! I'll strive to write an even better book next time!
