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

At six o'clock in the evening, after returning home, having dinner, and tidying up briefly, Chen Dong sat on the sofa, opened the writer's assistant on his computer, and continued his writing work for the day.

Based on the progress of the plot, Chen Dong can begin wrapping up the Terraria-related storylines in the novel today.

The British Empire, Zhongcheng, Imperial Theater, the venue for the awards ceremony of this global game development competition.

As one of the nominees for Game of the Year, Terraria's producer, Dong Cheng, naturally attended the awards ceremony.

When asked by the media about his thoughts on his work being nominated for Game of the Year, Dong Cheng only gave one sentence in response.

"Terraria is just the beginning; I will create more excellent works in the future."

After saying that, Dong Cheng turned around and walked onto the red carpet into the Imperial Theater.

After the guests were all seated, the host, Gifford, slowly walked onto the stage.

After a brief opening, the host didn't rush into the main topic. Instead, he used two lighthearted jokes to ease the slightly serious and tense atmosphere.

Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming more lively, the host then pointed to the large screen behind him.

Subsequently, footage from the six games nominated for Game of the Year appeared one by one on the big screen.

The influence of Terraria was clearly visible among them.

The unique side-scrolling pixel-art 2D game stands out among the nominated entries.

Meanwhile, many players in the Dragon Kingdom were sitting in front of their screens watching the awards ceremony.

After seeing images of Terraria appear on the big screen, forums, online communities, and comment sections were flooded with ecstatic messages from players.

Especially after the live broadcast director cut to a close-up of Dong Cheng, the live stream chat on Bilibili was flooded with the four characters "Dong Shen is awesome!"

At this point, Chen Dong paused to rest and glanced at the time.

8: 22.

There's still more than half an hour before Su Tao's broadcast starts.

After taking a sip of water to relieve the dryness in his throat, Chen Dong continued writing.

The subsequent plot had already been revised several times in Chen Dong's mind.

After confirming that the male lead, Dong Cheng, had won the Game of the Year award for "Terraria," Chen Dong's hands flew across the keyboard, the rapid typing echoing in the living room.

If an old internet cafe owner heard Chen Dong typing, his first reaction would definitely be that this kid is playing "QQ Dance" and ruining his keyboard.

As time passed by, little by little.

At 8:58, Chen Dong typed the last word of the latest chapter, completing the wrap-up of this part of the Terraria storyline.

Next, all Chen Dong needs to do is send out all the chapters at once tomorrow, and then he will know the conditions for redeeming the game through the system this time.

It's worth mentioning that after Chen Dong's novel surpassed the 100,000-word mark, it received a significant surge in traffic from the website.

Not only has the novel's collection reached over eight thousand, but the number of readers is also approaching two thousand.

This data can already be described as excellent.

Therefore, Chen Dong was quite confident that he could successfully redeem Terraria by fulfilling the system's requirements.

I closed the author assistant app and opened the Maozhua live streaming platform. Su Tao had just started her live stream, and Chen Dong entered the live stream room right on time.

Furthermore, as soon as he entered the live stream, Chen Dong generously gifted three sports cars.

"Host, please play Starcard's new game, 'Vampire Survivor,' tonight. Starcard hopes to hear the most authentic feedback from the game through the host."

Upon seeing Chen Dong's message, Su Tao revealed a sly smile.

"StarCard is too kind. Even if we don't send any gifts, the streamer plans to appreciate your new work tonight."

As she spoke, Su Tao changed the title of the live stream to "Vampire Survivors Evening Special!"

Upon seeing Su Tao's actions, Chen Dong was initially taken aback, and then sent another comment.

"Oh no, I sent the gift too early."

Seeing the game's official team get humiliated in front of the streamer, viewers in the live stream started leaving comments.

"Haha, the streamer cleverly used a series of tricks, and the official account accidentally sent three sports cars."

"Hey, I have an idea! The company could apply for refunds for minors!"

"No, no, no! If you do that, the streamer will probably cry themselves to sleep after the broadcast!"

As for the new viewers who entered the live stream, they raised some thought-provoking questions.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Oh no, I'm too late, I didn't even get to eat the melon."

"Judging from the comments, has the streamer encountered another case of a minor requesting a refund?"

Perhaps because it was the weekend, Su Tao's live stream attracted over 10,000 viewers in just a few minutes, and was rapidly approaching 20,000.

At this moment, Su Tao had just opened the Steam platform, found the game bundle on Xingka Games, and quickly scanned the code to pay.

"StarCard official, please don't be angry. The streamer actually contributed to your sales."

Seeing the payment success page on the screen, Su Tao winked playfully at the camera, striking an innocent pose.

Since "Vampire Survivor" requires less memory than the 2GB "Devil Roulette", Su Tao only needed to interact briefly with the comments before the game was downloaded.

Upon logging into the main interface, Su Tao was presented with only four buttons: Start, Enhance, Favorites, and Battle Records.

Su Tao's eyes lit up when she saw the "Enhance" and "Collect" buttons.

The biggest drawback of Devil Roulette is its lack of rich content, which results in a short lifespan for the game.

After completing the game, players may still log in occasionally to play, but they will not continue to invest a lot of time in it continuously.

However, Starcard Games seems to have learned from Devil Roulette and has set up character progression paths in its new game to provide players with goals, thus extending the game's lifespan to some extent.

This is a commendable place.

After he expressed his thoughts, the live chat was immediately filled with comments of shock and admiration.

However, Su Tao didn't have time to pay attention to the comments; she had already chosen her character and entered the game.

"It seems... I don't need to control the character's attacks, I only need to control the character's movement by pressing buttons?"

Seeing that the character on the screen automatically attacked the approaching monster without her doing anything, Su Tao frowned slightly.

This was completely different from the gameplay of most games on the market, so Su Tao felt quite uncomfortable.

"What's the purpose of the progress bar at the top? It seems like eating sapphires dropped by monsters can fill up the progress bar."

While controlling the character's movement, Su Tao kept a close eye on the progress bar above.

After she consumed yet another sapphire, the progress bar was completely full.

Then, three new treasures popped up.

"Holy water, axe, and divine whip."

Is this... letting me choose a weapon?

Su Tao tried choosing the axe, which could increase damage and attack range.

next second.

The selection interface disappears, and the screen returns to the green grass.

However, unlike before, the attack range of the character controlled by Su Tao was visibly much larger.

Furthermore, the increased damage means that each attack by the character can take down several monsters.

Therefore, these monsters that appear off-screen have almost no chance of getting close to the character controlled by Su Tao.

As the game continued, the progress bar at the top filled up several more times, and Su Tao continued to choose to upgrade her axe to increase damage and attack range.

If any monsters dare to approach, they will be wiped out in one strike!

Just as Su Tao was getting a little bored, a monster that was significantly taller appeared at the edge of the screen.

Its health and defense are significantly higher than the initial monsters.

Even though Su Tao had upgraded her axe several levels, it still took her two or three hits to kill such a monster.

However, the sapphires dropped after the monster dies are noticeably larger, providing more energy to the progress bar.

Therefore, after killing several large monsters by using movement techniques, the character levels up again.

This time, Su Tao did not choose the axe, but instead chose the divine whip that could increase the projectiles.

She felt that relying solely on the axe was too slow, and she needed to add another attack method to clear out the smaller monsters around the larger one.

As the game progressed, the monsters became significantly stronger, and Su Tao could no longer freely control her character's movement by pressing buttons as she had at the beginning.

Instead, before each move, you need to consider the density of monsters and whether your character's attacks can quickly clear out the monsters in front of you, ensuring that you will not be attacked by monsters.

Furthermore, what Su Tao found particularly exciting was that every time a character leveled up, it would bring an unknown choice.

Each choice can have a huge impact on the course of the game.

In addition, you need to consider whether to upgrade the existing treasures first, or choose new treasures that seem to have more suitable functions.

Ten minutes into the game, Su Tao made a misjudgment and entered the monsters' encirclement, resulting in her character's immediate death.

However, after the game ended and she returned to the main interface, Su Tao noticed that the gold coins at the top of the screen, which were originally zero, had become 150.

Next, she clicked into the enhancement interface, intending to see what she could do with the gold coins.

However, she discovered that just the first time she enhanced her power, she needed a full 200 gold coins, which she did not have enough of.

So, Su Tao decisively started the second round.

As a result, due to a mistake in choosing the treasure, she lasted even less time than before.

Coupled with the mockery from many viewers in the live stream, Su Tao suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

"Hey, this game is kind of interesting."

Rolling up her sleeves, Su Tao struck a pose as if she was ready to fight "Vampire Survivor" for three hundred rounds.
