[Chu Wei]: Well, my situation is pretty good here. I watched the previous concert, which is very outstanding.

Chu Wei made a reply, then scrolled up again, looked at the conversation between the two in the chat box, and felt a little emotional.

[Xu Rui]: That's good. We often receive user complaints, saying why the [Future] has not been updated, and can we urge him to update it as soon as possible.

[Chu Wei]: Uh, this is done, it’s done.

Chu Wei showed an awkward smile when facing the screen, which was actually something he was struggling with.

If he is a video maker of Hakonica Video Network [Future], he can indeed continue to cover songs, earn income through traffic, and even develop in this area. As he grows up, Chu Mian's voice that is indistinguishable from men and women has changed, becoming clearer and more refreshing, and is very suitable for popular songs.

But Chu Future is still hesitating whether to develop in this industry. The reason why he chose computer-related is also because of this consideration.

In Chu Wei's opinion, animations and comics may not be watched for the rest of his life. He likes covers now because of his love for his works. But if he gradually changes his interests in the future, can the job continue?

He doesn't know.

Xu Rui still talks with Chu Wei every month. The two of them are like brothers, talking about Chu Wei's future studies and his life with Qin Shanshan. Xu Rui did not interfere too much about Chu Wei's choices, and he is more willing to let the young man make his own decisions.

[Xue Rui]: By the way, you know the "steam" platform, this is a comprehensive game platform that Hatsune Games is preparing to build.

[Chu Wei]: Well, I heard Shanshan say that she has also obtained the qualification for the preliminary test.

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

【Chu Wei】: Yes?

[Xu Rui]: Didn’t you say before that Shanshan and you want to make a game? I think you can participate and just try it.

Seeing Xu Rui's words, Chu Wei was suddenly moved.

In fact, he just said this to Xu Rui casually. He didn't expect that he actually remembered that although Chu Wei didn't think that this independent game award was held by Xu Rui because of him, the feeling that someone pays attention to him at all times did touch Chu Wei, who had always lacked care in the past.

[Chu Wei]: Well, I will tell Shanshan.

After that, they talked about daily life. After Xu Rui invited Chu Wei to take Qin Shanshan to Ningjiang to play, the two ended the conversation.

Two minutes later, Xu Rui sent a manuscript. Obviously, this is the promotional copy of the Independent Game Awards. Since the poster special design has not been completed, there is only text at present.

Chu Wei carefully browsed it. Simply put, this independent game award is aimed at game developers of individual and small studio nature. When the work is released on the "Steam" platform, it will enter a partition called "Green Light Plan". Players can play the game trial version for free, or they can pay to download the full version. Developers can also continue to update their game version. In the "Green Light Plan" partition, the game is in the "pre-development" state, and bugs and vulnerabilities are allowed to some extent, which is equivalent to a large public testing platform.

Only when the work is completed can you enter the official game platform and receive various promotions.

The selection criteria for independent game awards, besides the industry insiders of Hatsune Games, is the number of positive reviews received by the work on the "Green Light Plan" page.

The deadline for the selection 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 advantage it has, but in the end it depends on the quality of the work.

The genre of the game is not limited, you can develop pixel-like mini games or full 3D large games.

The independent game award will eventually be selected based on the game type, popularity, quality, etc. The winner will not only receive various promotions of the "Steam" platform, but will also receive financial investment support from Hatsune Games. It can be said that it is a sure profit and no loss.

“What are you looking at?”

Qin Shanshan had just finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom. Her hair was wet, and her cheeks became red due to hot water and had a few drops of water left behind, which seemed to make people unable to control them at all.

She came over and the fragrance of shampoo floated, making Chu Wei feel restless.

"This is, uh, my friend at Hatsune Games sent me a promotional copy about the Indie Game Awards on the 'Steam' platform."

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

It was still a bit cold in March. Seeing that Qin Shanshan's hair had not been completely blown dry, Chu Wei turned around and brought a hair dryer to help her dry her hair while she was reading the copywriting.

His fingers passed through Qin Shanshan's black hair, and the hot wind from the hairdryer blew away, taking away the water vapor.

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

Qin Shanshan has obtained the preliminary test qualification for the "Steam" platform. Originally, she only participated as a player and an anchor, but now she sees this independent game award and can't help but look forward to it.

"So, my friend asked me, uh, we, do you want to try it out?"

Hearing Chu Wei's words, Qin Shanshan suddenly turned around.

"real?"

Qin Shanshan felt unbelievable. She originally thought Chu Wei would not be interested in game production, and she often felt guilty of dragging Chu Wei to play games.

"Well, I think the requirements for programming technology in game production are very high, and it should be an opportunity to exercise."

He said, and his eyes lit up when he saw Qin Shanshan.

"Then we have to do it quickly."

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

"We are starting to do it now, and it's not a few months by the end of the year. It's very difficult to make interesting games, but I think we're the two of us together, well, plus Wei Tian, ​​it's definitely okay for the three of us to be together."

She talked a lot, and seemed to be thinking about what game to make and how to make the game.

"It's definitely too late for 3D, so why not just jump on the platform or shoot horizontally?"

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

The news about the independent game award was not prepared for a long time. On April 1, while the "Steam" platform launched an early online test, the platform's homepage special topic announced the news about the independent game award.

This is something unprecedented in the game industry. In an instant, all the independent game producers and the entire industry were immediately excited by this news.
Chapter completed!
