Chapter 61: TGA? Does this world also have a TGA?
Aurora Games.
Upon seeing these promoters online, Ji Yuan immediately summoned Director Yan to his office.
"Is this what you mean by 'absolutely foolproof'?"
"Now, you immediately launch a publicity campaign to show that Aurora's 'Kitchen Adventure' is absolutely no less fun than 'Overcooked'!"
Currently, the development directions of the two games seem to be completely different.
But the project has already been completed, even though it only costs a few million.
But if we really cancel the project outright, wouldn't that be contradicting ourselves?
Ji Yuan picked up his phone.
My gaze fell on the trending topics on Weibo.
He is extremely familiar with the sources of trending topics on Weibo, Douyin, and DiliDili.
Especially Weibo's trending topics, which are a major target for paid advertising.
"Short-term sales don't matter, as long as KitchenAid can get a TGA nomination."
"So this mess in the kitchen isn't a big deal."
Ji Yuan muttered a couple of sentences softly.
Then he continued to say to Director Yan, "By the way, go and tell some of our streamers."
"To guide them to have a negative impression of Overcooked."
"Furthermore, we hereby prohibit our streamers from streaming the game 'Overcooked'!"
Aurora Games, backed by the Black Dragon.
A large family and a large business.
Within the live streaming room, they prevent their own streamers from broadcasting works developed by Insomnia Game.
There are absolutely no problems.
"Yes, Mr. Ji."
[Kitchen All Day is definitely the best interactive game of the year; don't mistake it for a steam engine game!]
With the release of this announcement from Aurora Games.
Like a depth charge, it instantly fueled another wave of online public opinion that was already at its peak.
Especially some players who were originally haters of Overcooked.
Having found a backer, they didn't hesitate to use Aurora Games' official statement to their advantage, and became even bolder in attacking Insomnia Games' players and fans.
However, all of this seemed to have no effect on Shen Huaizhou.
He is one of the three giants of insomnia games.
He's sitting in his office now, completely bewildered.
Before them stood Su Jianxue and Chen Qingshan, both of the three giants.
"What's going on? It's rare to see the two of you coming together."
Shen Huaizhou frowned, puzzled.
The fact that Su Jianxue and Chen Qingshan came together definitely means something bad is going on.
What's going on with these two today?
Especially Su Jianxue, whose gaze was like that of a cat and a mouse.
She is a cat, and I am a mouse.
I felt uneasy and had a chill run down my spine.
"Dear Designer Shen, or Director Shen, what are your thoughts on our game being released on overseas console gaming platforms?"
"..."
"Chairman Chen, what's your opinion on this matter?"
Shen Huaizhou rolled his eyes at the guy, speechless.
He is one of the three directors and one of the three giants.
Insomnia Games has no plans to go public, no possibility of financing, and no possibility of being acquired by others.
After all, if any of these three events occur, they might as well rush home to nurse their babies.
Being a security guard is so comfortable.
Once a company is completely controlled by capital, it can no longer make any game it wants.
Insomnia Game Studio offers a lot of freedom.
If this gets controlled by someone, that would be terrible.
"I think it's a good idea. Several overseas gaming platforms have already contacted me."
"Mr. Qian from Steam Engine also wants to be our overseas exclusive distributor for the PC version."
"In addition, several gaming platforms, including those from Japan and the United States, have sent letters."
As he spoke, Chen Qingshan placed the printed emails on Shen Huaizhou's desk: "Here, more than ten companies."
"The price of Niso from Japan is quite good, while Paradise Bird is currently taking a wait-and-see approach to our game."
Nisso? Isn't that just Sony?
Could the bird of paradise be Nintendo?
To be fair, if that's really the case, then the bird of paradise has a condescending attitude towards people.
That's perfectly normal.
"By the way, Huaizhou, the sales figures for our game on the first day are also out."
"Because it was launched simultaneously on PC in both domestic and international markets, it achieved the second place in total sales for the Steam platform."
"The number one game is a AAA title, a sequel to an existing IP."
"Furthermore, we've been promoting it for almost a year, so our sales performance this time is definitely not a loss."
As they spoke, Shen Huaizhou had already seen the sales figures for the first day.
"One, ten, hundred, thousand...three hundred thousand?"
Shen Huaizhou was somewhat surprised by this, but upon reflection, he realized it was indeed true.
This is not like the era of the past, where new games were everywhere, and this is different in terms of gameplay and interactivity.
All of this was completely unexpected.
Even after the first day ended, it sparked a wave of public opinion.
With such game sales figures, reaching 300,000 on the first day is absolutely no problem.
Furthermore, it passed the tests conducted by game streamers last night.
There are quite a few viewers watching, and many people who want to try it are here.
Therefore, Shen Huaizhou was not surprised at all by this result.
"I've heard about Brother Chen's situation."
"Ah Xue, what are you doing here?"
Shen Huaizhou raised his head and looked at Su Jianxue, asking her a question.
"Hehehe, good news, good news!"
Su Jianxue took out her phone and handed it to Shen Huaizhou for a quick look: "Look!"
"TGA!"
"What the hell?!"
Before Su Jianxue could explain, Shen Huaizhou was stunned for a moment, then immediately saw the message in the text message!
TGA? Isn't that the most famous video game award from the past?
The purpose of this game is to recognize the best video games released worldwide in the past year!
Its advisory board includes companies such as Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Apple.
Held annually in December in the United States, the awards ceremony once achieved a record of four million simultaneous online viewers across all platforms!
Does this world even have a game award like The Game Awards (TGA)?
"You didn't know that?"
"TGA, a renowned international video game award."
"Even just getting one nomination would be enough for us to make a name for ourselves in the Donghuang gaming industry."
How could I not know!
The most important thing at TGA isn't the nominations, it's the Players' Voice and all the other awards!
Of course, a game cannot win all the awards at the same time.
However, winning three or four awards would be enough to make the entire Insomnia Game Studio famous.
"So, Huaizhou, do we have any ideas?"
Su Jianxue moved closer, and you could even smell the fragrance on her body.
"Dry!"
"If you're going to do something, do something meaningful! What's the point of nominations!"
"Let's think about what game we should make next!"
