Chapter 402. Indie Game Awards

[Chu Future]: Well, the situation on my side is very good, and I also watched the previous concert, which is very good.

Chu Future replied, scrolled up again, looked at the conversation between the two in the chat box, and was inexplicably a little emotional.

[Xu Rui]: That's good, we often receive complaints from users here, saying that it is why [Future] is not updated, can you urge him to update it quickly.

[Chu Future]: Well, this is being done, being done.

Chu Future showed an embarrassed smile at the screen, which was actually what he was struggling with.

If he is the video producer of Chuyin Video Network [Future], he can indeed continue to cover songs, earn income from traffic, and even develop towards this area, after growing up, Chu Future's indistinguishable voice has changed, becoming clearer, hearty, and very suitable for pop songs.

But Chu is still hesitant to develop in this industry, and the reason why he chose computer-related is also because of this consideration.

In Chu Future's view, animation and comics may not be able to be watched for a lifetime, and he likes covers now because of his love for his works, but if he gradually changes his interest in the future, will this job continue?

He didn't know.

Xu Rui still chats with Chu Future every month, the two are like brothers, talking about Chu Future's studies, talking about his life with Qin Shanshan, Xu Rui didn't interfere too much in Chu's future choice, he preferred to let the teenager make his own decisions.

[Xu Rui]: By the way, you know the "Steam" platform, this is a comprehensive game platform that Hatsune Games is going to make.

[Chu Future]: Well, I heard Shanshan say that she also got the qualification for the first test.

[Xu Rui]: Our platform is going to launch an independent game award at the beginning, and I will send you the specific information later.

[Chu Future]: Huh?

[Xu Rui]: Didn't you say before that Shanshan and you want to make a game, I think you can participate in it as an attempt.

Seeing Xu Rui's words, Chu Future was suddenly a little moved.

In fact, he casually said this to Xu Rui, but he didn't expect him to really remember that although Chu Future didn't think that this independent game award was held with him in mind, Xu Rui held it, but this feeling of someone paying attention to him at this moment did make Chu Future, who had been lacking care in the past, a little moved.

[Chu Future]: Well, I'll talk to Shanshan.

After chatting a few more words about daily life, after Xu Rui invited Chu Future to take Qin Shanshan to Ningjiang to play, the two ended the conversation.

After two minutes, Xu Rui sent a text, obviously, this is the promotional copy of the Independent Game Awards, because the poster theme design has not yet been completed, so there is only text at present.

Chu Future carefully browsed,To put it simply,This independent game award is for individual and small studio game developers,When the work is released on the "steam" platform,It will enter a partition called "Green Light Project", players can play the trial version of the game for free,You can also pay to download the full version,Developers can also continue to update their own game versions,In the "Green Light Project" partition,The games are all in the "pre-development" state,BUGS and vulnerabilities are allowed to some extent, This is the equivalent of a large public testing platform.

When the work is completed, it can enter the official game platform and get various promotions.

The selection criteria for the Independent Game Awards, in addition to those in Hatsune Games, is the number of positive reviews the work receives on the "Green Light Project" page.

The deadline for judging is December 31 this year, in other words, the work must be uploaded at least before the end of this year, of course, the earlier the work is released, the more advantageous, but in the end it depends on the quality of the work.

There is no limit to the genre of the game, and it can be developed from small pixel games to large games with full 3D.

In the end, the Indie Game Awards will select several awards based on the genre, popularity, quality, etc., and the winners will not only receive various promotions on the "Steam" platform, but also receive financial investment support from Hatsune Games.

"What are you looking at?"

Qin Shanshan had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower at this time, her hair was wet, and there were still a few drops of water left on her cheeks that had become red from the hot water, which looked like she couldn't hold it at all.

She came over, and the scent of shampoo wafted in, making Chu Future uneasy for a while.

"This is, uh, a friend of mine at Hatsune Games sent me a promotional copy for the Indie Game Awards for the 'Steam' platform."

He thought that he would show Qin Shanshan anyway, so he gave up his position.

It was still a little cold in March, and Chu Future saw that Qin Shanshan's hair was not completely dry, so he turned around and brought a hair dryer to help her dry her hair while she was reading the copywriting.

Fingers ran through Qin Shanshan's black hair, and the hot wind from the hair dryer blew through, taking away the moisture.

"Wow, this game contest seems to be very powerful."

Qin Shanshan has already obtained the pre-test qualification for the "Steam" platform, originally she only participated as a player and streamer, but now seeing this independent game award, she can't help but look forward to it a little more.

"So, my friend asked me, uh, let's, would you like to give it a try?"

Hearing Chu Future's words, Qin Shanshan suddenly turned her head.

"Really?"

Qin Shanshan felt incredulous, originally she thought that Chu Future would not be interested in game production, and she often felt guilty that she was dragging Chu Future to play games.

"Well, I think game production requires a lot of programming skills, and it should be an opportunity to practice."

He said, seeing Qin Shanshan's eyes lit up.

"Then we're going to do it quickly."

Qin Shanshan got down from the chair and looked very much looking forward to it.

"We're starting to do it now, and it's not a few months until the end of the year, and it's very difficult to make a game that makes people feel interesting, but I think the two of us together, well, plus Wei Tian, the three of us will definitely be fine together."

She babbled a lot, and her mind seemed to be thinking about what game to make and how to make it.

"It's definitely too late for 3D, why don't you just platform jump, or shoot side-by-side?"

Looking at Qin Shanshan's excited appearance, Chu Future smiled and silently put away the hair dryer.

The news of the Indie Game Awards was not prepared for long, and on April 1, the news of the Indie Game Awards was announced on the platform's homepage at the same time as the "Steam" platform launched its early online testing.

This is something that has never been seen before in the game industry, and in an instant, all the indie game producers, the entire industry, are suddenly boiling over this piece of news.
