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

The annual game development competition has ended, and the terms "Terraria" and "Terraria won the championship" quickly became trending topics, occupying several spots in the top ten.

Not only Steam platforms, but also NetEase, Tencent, and many other established game companies have released videos or statements congratulating Starcard Games.

In no time, the level of discussion surrounding Terraria among gamers reached its peak.

The name "Terraria" has almost become a password for online traffic.

In addition, a move by StarCard Games further fueled the already hot popularity of Terraria.

"To celebrate the victory, Terraria version 1.3 will be released tonight at 6 PM!"

The statement released by StarCard Games on its official account instantly topped the trending search list.

The comments section below is practically a place for Starcard fans to celebrate.

"Terraria winning means it will be nominated for a The Game Awards!"

"I've never even been abroad, and you're telling me that the game I love has already gone abroad and is going to win international awards?"

"Star Card Games has really made something of itself; it's even generating a lot of discussion on foreign websites."

"I also checked it out, and many foreign game streamers are really looking forward to the international version of Terraria being released on the EC platform."

"Why does it feel like a country bumpkin from my village suddenly became a Miss International?"

"The TGA awards ceremony is being held in Xinxiang, England, which means my favorite game is coming to the city!"

……

Star Card Game, in Chen Dong's office.

After briefly explaining the arrangements for the next few days, Chen Dong told Yin Qingying to go back to work.

Afterwards, Chen Dong used his computer to buy a plane ticket to Beijing.

China Express Airlines, 3 PM next Monday, first class.

As for why it was only one photo, it's because Chen Dong didn't plan to take Yin Qingying with him to the capital.

Currently, Star Card Games may be temporarily without its boss Chen Dong, but its manager Yin Qingying cannot leave for even a moment.

After completing the payment on his phone, Chen Dong stared at the computer screen in front of him, and a sudden idea popped into his head: to recruit a new manager and have Yin Qingying act as his secretary.

However, this idea was immediately rejected by Chen Dong.

"With Manager Yin's abilities, it would be a waste of her talents to have her as a secretary."

"Recruiting a deputy manager for Xingka to lighten Manager Yin's workload is a good idea."

Without hesitation, Chen Dong immediately contacted a headhunting firm and commissioned them to recruit a deputy manager.

He only made two requests: first, that the candidate be experienced and possess the skills required for the position; and second, that the candidate have good professional ethics and not engage in any behavior that abuses their power for personal gain.

Wang Xin and Sun Dan really gave Chen Dong a psychological trauma.

After issuing the "call for talent," Chen Dong thought for a moment, opened the Maozhua live streaming platform, and sent a private message to the streamer Su Tao.

……

At 8 p.m., Su Tao's live stream room on the Cat's Claw live streaming platform lit up on time.

As soon as the broadcast started, the number of viewers in the live stream skyrocketed.

300...5000...20000...

Perhaps due to the explosive popularity of Terraria, she, as a streamer who streams Terraria on YiZhi, has also benefited greatly.

In the past, Su Tao might have felt a little embarrassed, but now, she can accept this traffic as a matter of course.

"Holy crap, Sister Su Su got recruited?"

"As expected of Sister Su, she gave us a big surprise right from the start of the broadcast."

"From now on, Sister Su will be receiving government subsidies from Star Card holders, so don't forget about your brothers!"

On the live stream screen, Su Tao held her phone up to the camera, deliberately looking to the side, pouting and making a smug expression.

The content displayed on her phone was enough for her to show off a little.

"Ms. Su, on behalf of StarCard, I would like to invite you to become a contracted streamer for StarCard Games. Would you be interested?"

This single private message from the backend caused a cacophony of wails and screams from the viewers in the live stream, with many saying that Su Tao was no longer innocent, and some even claiming that Su Tao had sold herself to Xingka.

This ambiguous remark infuriated Su Tao, causing her cheeks to puff up like an angry chipmunk.

Off-screen, watching Su Tao bickering with viewers in the live stream, Chen Dong sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead.

He's starting to have some doubts about whether signing Su Tao as the first official streamer for StarCard Games was the right decision.

This decision wasn't something he came up with on a whim; it was a plan he finalized after discussing it with Yin Qingying.

For game developers, there is actually no need to sign contracts with streamers, since playing games is also the streamers' job and live streaming content.

However, Chen Dong believes that cultivating a well-known streamer would be a significant help in the development of Star Card Games.

Although Su Tao started with games under Xingka, she gradually developed from a mid-level streamer to a top streamer on the platform, with a stable audience of over 5 in her live stream.

But precisely because of this, Su Tao has gradually been branded with the mark of Star Cards, becoming a spontaneous promoter of the Star Card game.

Signing Su Tao as an official streamer for Xingka can be seen as opening up a new avenue for promotion.

In addition, a game absolutely needs these game streamers to maintain its popularity in the long run.

Chen Dong lay on the sofa, shifting to a more comfortable position, and watched Su Tao's live stream on his phone.

Suddenly, he remembered a story from his previous life about a professional gamer who had a love-hate relationship with the game, to the point that his achievements overshadowed those of his master.

"For a game to go viral, it's not enough for the game company to just promote it; game streamers and players also need to create memes."

Whether from the perspective of game developers or players, Chen Dong believes this statement is absolutely correct.

As a gamer, he has often bought and played a game because of a video or a popular internet meme.

When Chen Dong saw Su Tao nearly die due to a mistake and make an expression that didn't match her good looks at all, he couldn't help but laugh.

A comedic woman like Su Tao, with her naturally contrasting personality, is undoubtedly the easiest target for viewers in the live stream to create memes about.

Chen Dong didn't watch the live stream for too long, as he needed to prepare drafts in advance for a series of events to come.

Looking at the numerous comments urging for updates in the novel's reader community, with one post even having over a thousand replies, Chen Dong couldn't help but sigh that today's readers have too much free time.

Despite his reflections, Chen Dong didn't stop working, quickly writing down the plot he had designed in his mind.

It's still just a simple, slightly modified version of the classic "show-off and face-slapping" plot, only this time the game used is "Black Myth: Wukong".
