Chapter Ninety-Four: The Birth of a Legend
When Sin City was shortlisted for the best RPG of the year, many people felt like they had locked in the award.
In media reviews, Future Oasis and its Sin City have been a huge success in their attempts to explore new forms of RPGs, and some of the designs in Sin City will greatly influence the design of similar games.
The RPG elements of Sin City are not about the genre of the game, but about the player's experience. Players experience the feeling of role-playing in the game, then this game is enough to be called an excellent RPG game.
The best RPG game of the year is a relatively important award, and it is a relatively large award. Every year, the games that win the best categories are the best games released that year. In addition to RPG of the Year, Sin City was also nominated for several other categories, but RPG of the Year was the first of those awards.
The venue burst into applause, and the crowd of the future oasis erupted in cheers.
This is the first time they have won an award at the TGA, and when it really came to the moment of the award, even if they had been mentally prepared for a long time, everyone couldn't help but cheer.
It's really a blessing to be recognized.
"Congratulations."
Stephen also stood up and said to Su Li.
"But I think I'll probably have a couple more chances to congratulate you tonight."
"Thank you." Su Li responded to the congratulations of the people around him and thanked them.
The domestic game media also sent out the news that "Sin City" won the best RPG game of the year for the first time, and the live broadcast platform also swiped a large wave of barrage.
After all, there are still a lot of viewers who come to see the future Oasis win awards.
The applause in the room lasted for a short time, and they waited for Future Oasis to take the stage to accept the award and deliver their first acceptance speech.
Surprisingly, the person who will come to the stage to win the award in the future Oasis is not Su Li himself, but Taylor, although the exposure rate of the chief designer of "Sin City" is not as high as Su Li, but there are still many people who know this person.
The people in the venue were all industry insiders, and when they saw Fred who presented the award and Taylor who was about to go on stage to accept the award, they couldn't help but smile and felt that the scene in front of them was still very interesting.
If Fred makes some strange faces, the media will be able to hype it up again. They were eagerly watching the movement on stage, and the cameraman had already pointed the camera at Fred and gave him an ultra-high-definition close-up.
However, Fred is a long-standing boss after all, and the expression on his face has not changed in the slightest, he is still an impeccable smile, and he does not give people a chance to make memes.
Because the location of the future oasis is in the first row under the stage, and there are not many steps from here to the stage, Taylor's mood is now both excited and complicated, he did not expect that this first opportunity to receive the award was actually given to him.
The experience of the past two years is like a dream. Taylor, who had just run away from DICE, would never have imagined that it would not be long before he would have the opportunity to stand on the stage of TGA redemption and take away a heavyweight award.
In the domestic live broadcast platform, when they saw Taylor on stage, the audience suddenly exploded. Many of them didn't know who this bearded foreigner was, and when they saw him on stage, the number of barrages was even higher than when he won the award just now.
"Who is this?"
"Why is it a foreigner to receive an award?"
"I don't want to look at foreigners, I want to watch Brother Su go up and receive the award."
"Who is this, this beard has a lot of character."
Soon, the person in charge of the explanation on the live broadcast platform told the audience Taylor's identity that the identity of the chief designer of "Sin City" is indeed qualified to go up and win this award, but some people feel that Su Li has some support.
If this is the only award for Sin City, it will be a big loss.
However, in the live broadcast screen, Su Li applauded Taylor with a smile, in the design of "Sin City", he is more in control of the production progress and general planning of the game, Taylor as the chief designer, it can be said that he has worked hard to lay the foundation for the success of this game in the past two years.
As for whether it will be played off......
That certainly doesn't exist.
Taylor walked onto the stage, and as he took the stage, he gave Fred a friendly hug.
"Congratulations, Taylor."
Fred said to Taylor.
"Thank you."
Taylor responded kindly.
The calm performance on stage made the media off the stage a little disappointed, originally they wanted to watch a refreshing script of an employee who was swept out of the house to kill and slap his face, but the communication between the two was still very friendly.
For Taylor, Fred's decision at that time really made him extremely angry, after all, the game project he had put a lot of effort into was cut, and for him, the project leader, it was no different from sweeping the floor, and after the project was terminated, he resigned directly.
However, if you lose the east, you will harvest the mulberry elm. The decision to leave DICE may really be an opportunity for Taylor himself. In the future oasis, the birth of "Sin City" has made him let go of those emotions a long time ago, and think carefully if he does not leave DICE, if DICE does not terminate his project, maybe the person who can stand at the TGA awards gala today will be someone else.
Before today, Taylor wondered what he would do when he faced Fred again. Maybe I'll triumphantly show off my success to him?
But when he faced Fred again, it was at this special moment at the TGA awards ceremony, and he found that his mood was extremely calm, as if nothing had happened.
He knew that his coming to the stage this time was just a prelude to the awards for Sin City tonight, and it was just a beginning, not an end. For Taylor, all he thinks about now is how good it was to have made that risky decision and leave his familiar surroundings.
Taylor didn't waste much time, he said a few words and walked off the stage. When he returned to his position, he received applause from the people around him, he and Su Li hugged each other, and said words of thanks incoherently,
Taylor, who was still a little calm on stage, still couldn't control his emotions when he returned to the stage.
It's great to be able to make a game with such a group of people in the future Oasis that is enough to go down in the history of gaming.

The RPG Game of the Year is really just a prologue, as Sin City is nominated for much more than that, and among the several categories, Sin City has also been shortlisted for several other categories, just waiting for the results to be announced.
After winning the first award, everyone in the future oasis was in a much more relaxed mood, and the mood of watching the film was also much better.
Before the start of the TGA, there was also speculation about whether Oasis would reveal some plans for the next step in the future, or simply announce the new work directly. But now it looks like many people are going to be disappointed, tonight there is no news about the future Oasis to be revealed, it's not that I don't want to, but I really don't.
In the coming period, Future Oasis will need to digest the benefits that Sin City has brought them, and then make a plan for the next development.
At the very least, now that Future Oasis has enough capital to abandon the previous model of single-line operation, it will be able to set up multiple studios and start the development of game projects at the same time. The revenue generated by Sin City provides at least the next five to ten years of development funding.
In the future, Oasis can also rely on the success of Sin City to completely break away from the scale of its own workshop and enter the ranks of large game developers.
At the end of this year, Future Oasis opened a special channel for employees to submit their own game design proposals, including design drafts, concept drawings, or game demos.
In the future, Oasis will display these designs from its employees so that everyone in the development department can see them. Future Oasis hopes to be able to dig out some potential game projects from these solutions, the most intuitive criterion, if a game design plan can attract enough people to join the company, then Future Oasis is willing to promote the project.
Every game designer has the dream of being a producer or master designer to lead the development of a game. And in the future, Oasis is willing to give its employees such an opportunity.
For Su Li, he is willing to train their own designers, thus forming a kind of inheritance. Just like Nintendo's development department, a generation of producers who have supported the façade of the development department, such as Aoei Nuji and Koizumi Kanaki, have inherited the glory of the older generation and made their own achievements.
Su Li hopes that his future oasis can also have a kind of inheritance, which can cultivate his own top game producers and designers from generation to generation.

At the TGA awards gala, the miracle of Sin City continues. After winning the RPG Game of the Year, they quickly won another game, Multiplayer Game of the Year.
This award is not unexpected, if it is only the content of the story mode, then Sin City can only be called a triple-A masterpiece, worthy of the name of triple-A, and a strong contender for this year's game awards.
But it's just a strong contender, and it definitely can't shine as brightly as it does now.
In the end, Sin City's multiplayer mode is still too much of a bonus to this game, with a unique game experience, unconventional gameplay content, and so many hidden content that has not been explored so far makes this game's multiplayer mode a big explosion.
In terms of multiplayer, Sin City, both in terms of the content of the game and the number of people online, has hung up several new games that focus on multiplayer mode this year. Even on Steam, Sin City has as many people online as those versus games.
It can be said that this award was not at all unexpected, and "Sin City" went to the next city and won a second award of great weight.
After that, the third and fourth also came quickly, and Sin City won two consecutive awards for Best XBOX Game of the Year and Best PC Game of the Year.
Needless to say, PC games are on par with the PC version of Sin City this time around, and even without the intrusion of cheats, the PC version has now outsold the console version. Quite a few console gamers have bought another game and joined the PC bandwagon.
This time, it was released on all platforms and was shortlisted for the best game award on each platform. Originally, Su Li thought that for the sake of balance, "Sin City" could only win one of the awards, after all, if this kind of award really made "Sin City" eat all, then others would have to lose face.
However, Sin City eventually won two of them, and the other one was taken by SN's first-party exclusive, which was expected.
The person who presented the award for the best XBOX game of the year was none other than Stephen, and Su Li was on stage for the first time tonight.
"When I first saw Sin City, I thought it was a great game, but I didn't expect to be awarded to this game here one day."
"You've done a great job, it's a miracle."
Stephen and Su Li hugged each other, and it was Stephen who brought Sin City to the MS show at E3, giving the game its first global exposure.
At the time, he only thought Sin City was a good game that was worth their investment, but he didn't expect it to become a legend in the end.
Four kills.
In these dozens of minutes, "Sin City" completed a quadruple kill and won four very important awards, which can be called the biggest winner tonight.
But as everyone knows, that doesn't mean this crazy night ends here. The attendees, the media, the players who guarded the live streaming platform, and the other employees who are now gathered at the Future Oasis to watch the awards ceremony, are all waiting for the final prize to be revealed.
Game of the year, Game of the Year, this is the biggest award tonight, and it is also the focus of the world's attention.
In each year's TGA, the attribution of the game of the year accounts for 90% of the traffic, and the difference between the remaining heavy awards and the game of the year is that the attribution of the previous awards will only appear in the body of the detailed media report, but the attribution of the game of the year will appear directly on the news headline.
Many players can name which TGA Game of the Year has been in recent years, but few can name a few names that have won awards in other categories.
For this trip to the TGA of Future Oasis, although they have now won four trophies, if they don't win Game of the Year, then it means failure.
But Sin City, which has already completed four kills, won't it win this Game of the Year?
If there were still people who could raise questions about this before the party began, but now, all these doubts have disappeared with this wave of four killings.
The guest of honor for this year's Game of the Year award was Harris Cohen, and the president of SIE went above and beyond to present the final award.
For Harris Cohen, this year's TGA was a failure, as their PS games only won one PlayStation Game of the Year and one Game Music of the Year at the gala, and they didn't win any other awards.
He was slightly relieved that MS had only taken away one shooter of the year tonight, and even the best XBOX game of the year was taken away by a third party.
Harris Cohen gracefully took the stage, and the result was the card with the winner written on it.
He smiled and glanced around the room, Harris Cohen was more of a business elite than anyone else present.
Harris Cohen stood in the center of the stage, and in front of several cameras and under the watchful eyes of countless people, he read out the name of the eventual big winner.
"The title I announced to be the winner of this year's Game of the Year award is ......"
"Sin City, from the Oasis of the Future."
No surprises, Sin City won this year's Game of the Year, etching its name into the history of the game, and it became the brightest star of the year.
The spotlight hits the area where the Oasis of the Future sits, and they are the biggest winners of the night by winning five prizes, including Game of the Year, and completing a wave of five kills.
Moreover, it is also the biggest winner in the gaming world this year.
Su Li's eyes have also become a little moist now, and when the future Oasis won four awards before, he was still very calm. But even if he was calm before, he still revealed his emotions now.
The barrage of domestic live broadcast platforms has filled the entire screen, and almost at the same time, major game media, or players, or other big Vs who want to gain popularity, have released or forwarded the news that "Sin City" won the TGA Game of the Year.
Now the time in China is already in the morning, and many people have seen the overwhelming relevant news for the first time, and all kinds of news have been completed in a few minutes. It didn't take long for keywords such as Future Oasis, Sin City, and Game of the Year to appear on the hot search list instantly, and many people who didn't pay attention to the game were a little surprised to find that various keywords that they hadn't seen suddenly appeared on the hot search list.
Once famous, the world knows!
In the venue, many people stood up in turn, and the applause was several times warmer than before. They congratulate and congratulate the rising star of the gaming industry, a company that started with indie games and was founded only a few years ago, and now brings a title to the gaming industry that can stand on the cusp of an era.
Tonight belongs to the oasis of the future, and everyone else is a foil.
The passage to the stage, Su Li has already walked through it once. But this second time I walked, it was a different feeling. He felt as if the whole time was flowing much slower than before.
From a small workshop of five people, to a development team of 100 people today.
From cheering for 100,000 sales, to 10 million sales in the first week of today.
From obscurity, to receiving the trophy of Game of the Year today.
Sin City has reached a peak, and Su Li and his future oasis are also on the road to the throne.
