Have you ever made games? Then you should write about games!

Just as the two were sitting in a corner of the venue, whispering to each other.

Ren Kang, the CEO of the Steam Platform and vice president, has somehow taken center stage.

"Distinguished guests, good afternoon. I am the Vice President of Steam Game Technology Co., Ltd., and also the CEO of the Steam platform."

In fact, even if Ren Kang didn't introduce himself, most people in the audience would have been able to recognize him.

Everyone present at the event was a professional in the gaming industry, and almost everyone recognized him as the CEO of China's largest gaming platform.

Out of respect, applause rang out in the room as soon as I finished my self-introduction.

After the applause subsided, Ren Kangcai continued, "First of all, I would like to thank everyone for attending this Game Producers Conference. I also hope that through this conference, you can make more friends, partners, and like-minded people."

As Ren Kang began to speak, Xiao You, a reporter from the Daily Travel News, led the cameraman through the crowd to the very front of the stage.

The red dot below the camera started flashing, indicating that recording had begun.

Ignoring the camera lens pointing directly at him, Ren Kang continued.

"Secondly, I would like to take this opportunity to announce something to my colleagues in the industry."

As Ren Kang got to the point in his speech, the guests who had been chatting with others stopped and turned their attention to him.

Before the Game Producers Conference was held, many rumors, the truth of which were difficult to discern, circulated outside the venue.

The most credible one comes from a senior executive of the Steam platform.

Ren Kang was preparing to hold an annual game development competition after the Game Producers Conference.

If you win the annual game development competition, not only will the winning game receive strong promotion from Steam, but the game's creator will also be certified by Steam as the Steam annual champion creator.

If the news is true, then Ren Kang is very likely planning to cultivate a star producer with appeal for the Steam platform in order to compete with other game platforms on the market.

In a corner of the venue, Chen Dong and Yin Qingying also pricked up their ears, ready to hear what important matter Ren Kang planned to announce on this occasion.

Seeing that everyone's attention had been drawn to him, Ren Kang's eyes flashed with satisfaction. He stopped keeping everyone in suspense and continued.

"I'm here to announce that Steam is planning to hold an annual game development competition in one month!"

"The competition has no judges; the scores are determined by multiple factors, including sales volume, number of players, and player reviews."

"The ultimate champion of the competition will not only receive a month-long feature on the Steam homepage, but the creator of the winning game will also receive the Steam annual champion creator title certified by the Steam platform."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was in an uproar.

No one expected that the rumor would actually be true.

However, both the boss and the producer quickly showed excited expressions.

For the boss, the appeal was the free recommendations on the Steam platform; for the producer, the appeal was the title that symbolized honor.

In a corner, after hearing Ren Kang's announcement, Chen Dong murmured to himself.

"The Steam platform is planning to create a star; that's interesting."

As an online novelist, Chen Dong is well aware of the importance of a pen name. If he can accumulate a number of fans, it will provide a lot of help for the author's subsequent creation.

Steam will not use a pseudonym; instead, it will use the title of "Annual Champion Producer" as a substitute.

Many people lack the ability to choose games and usually just look at the strength of the game company, the title of the producer, and the previous works.

If he were to be crowned with the title of champion producer of the year, Chen Dong believes that many players would be willing to pay for that title.

However, seeing that Ren Kang looked like he hadn't said enough, everyone in the room realized that Ren Kang had more to say.

Seeing that the noise of the crowd had gradually subsided, Ren Kangcai spoke slowly with a faint smile.

"Steam has reached an agreement with the international TGA awards; the winning game in this competition will be directly nominated for TGA Game of the Year!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Everyone seemed to be stunned by the bombshell that Ren Kang dropped.

What is TGA?

If we were to use the famous Oscars as a metaphor, TGA could be considered the Oscars of the gaming world!

Therefore, let alone winning an award, even just getting a nomination is enough to make the game producers present green with envy.

Similarly, game company owners are also extremely interested in this.

It's worth noting that for ten consecutive years, no Chinese game has made it onto the TGA nomination list.

As for the 29 regular awards at TGA, China has yet to win any.

Everyone could foresee that the nominated game would become the undisputed blockbuster of the year!

The returns that a blockbuster product can bring will be measured in hundreds of millions.

In a corner of the venue, upon hearing Ren Kang's announcement, Chen Dong's breathing involuntarily paused for a moment.

Beside her, Yin Qingying's beautiful eyes widened, and she could no longer maintain her cool demeanor.

When Chen Dong's vision returned to focus, he suddenly realized that Ren Kang on the stage had been watching him the whole time.

So Chen Dong nodded slightly, as if to greet the other party.

On stage, Ren Kang noticed Chen Dong's actions and nodded in response with a smile.

He didn't know much about Starcard Games, a game company that had been established for less than a year.

Or rather, there wasn't much for him to understand.

However, a company that can create a game that can be considered a minor hit on its very first attempt is certainly not an easy one.

According to the backend data, "Devil Roulette" is already far ahead of the second place. Even though the development festival has not yet ended, Ren Kang can be certain that "Devil Roulette" is the champion of this summer game development festival.

"Young man, I hope you are not a brilliant but short-lived shooting star, but a constant star that shines with endless light."

After silently saying something to himself, Ren Kang waved with a smile and walked off the stage.

Next up on stage are invited celebrities and singers, who are responsible for warming up the audience with their performances.

However, few people present paid attention to their performance; instead, they returned to their companions to discuss the bombshell news that Ren Kang had just given them.

In a corner of the venue, Chen Dong and Yin Qingying exchanged a glance, then stood up simultaneously and walked out of the venue.

Yin Qingying plans to return to the company as soon as possible and organize her colleagues to complete the development, release, and sales of "Vampire Survivor" as quickly as possible, laying the foundation for subsequent new games.

Chen Dong prepared to go back and work on his writing, speeding up the pace of the story to complete the relevant plot of "Terraria" as soon as possible, and to directly redeem "Terraria" through the system.

Chen Dong was full of confidence that once Terraria was released, it would be invincible.

What's a TGA nomination? We're already here, let's just bring an award home!
