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

"Mr. Chen, over here!"

As soon as Chen Dong got off the plane, he met the staff from the steam platform who came to pick him up.

She had long, straight black hair, wore gold-rimmed glasses, a suit skirt, and red high heels, looking very formal.

"Mr. Chen, I am Manager Ren Kang's secretary. Because Mr. Ren is very busy and cannot get away, he assigned me to be in charge of receiving you."

Chen Dong was surprised that Ren Kang would send his secretary to pick him up at the airport.

I suppose it's because they were too busy to get away, yet they needed to show that they valued themselves.

Chen Dong nodded slightly, shook hands with the female secretary, and followed her to the airport parking lot, then got into a Maybach S680 with a license plate starting with 京A.

Sitting in the back of the Maybach S680, Chen Dong had to admit that the difference between Mercedes-Benz S-Class models was even greater than the difference between the A-Class and the S-Class.

The female secretary sat in the passenger seat, turned to look at Chen Dong, and softly recounted the arrangements made by Ren Kang.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Ren has arranged for you to stay in the China World Suite on the top floor of the China World Hotel. We hope you will have a good rest."

Tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM, Mr. Ren and the person in charge of the TGA awards will meet with you at the company to discuss matters related to the TGA awards.

In the back seat of the Maybach, Chen Dong leaned back and nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

Then, Chen Dong turned his head to look out the car window.

6 p.m. is the time of Beijing's evening rush hour.

By the time Chen Dong arrived at the hotel, it was already 8 o'clock.

After bidding farewell to Ren Kang's secretary, Chen Dong, accompanied by waiters, arrived at the Guomao Suite on the top floor of the hotel.

As soon as the door opened, Chen Dong's attention was completely drawn to the floor-to-ceiling window that took up an entire wall.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one can take in the entire night view of the capital city; he can even clearly see the brightly lit squares and city gates.

"Mr. Chen, if you have any needs, you can contact the front desk via the phone in your room. The restaurant is located at..."

After giving a brief introduction to the hotel, the waiter backed out of the room and gently closed the door.

Chen Dong didn't stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for too long; he still needed to prepare for his meeting with Ren Kang the next day.

So, after quickly finishing dinner, Chen Dong typed for a short while and then went straight to bed.

At 9:30 a.m. the next morning, Chen Dong appeared downstairs at the China World Hotel on time, while Ren Kang's secretary and the familiar Maybach S680 seemed to have been waiting downstairs for a long time.

Good morning, Mr. Chen.

The female secretary bowed slightly, gesturing for Chen Dong to get into the car.

Soon, the Maybach smoothly drove out of the hotel and headed to the Steam Platform headquarters, which was not far from the China World Hotel.

Both are located in the CBD business district within Beijing's Second Ring Road.

Therefore, Chen Dong quickly arrived at the headquarters of the steam platform and, led by the female secretary, met Ren Kang, whom he had not seen for a long time.

The last time we met was at the Game Producers Conference.

"Mr. Chen, welcome."

In the reception room, Ren Kang stood up and extended his hand, showing great enthusiasm, which made the middle-aged white man sitting next to him also stand up and turn his gaze to Chen Dong.

To his surprise, the owner of the company that won the China Annual Game Production Competition was a young man who looked about the same age as his son.

Furthermore, the company he founded produced several wildly popular games within two years, which is enough to show that this young man is extraordinary.

"Long time no see, Mr. Ren."

Chen Dong quickened his pace and grasped Ren Kang's outstretched right hand.

"This is Mr. Wims, one of the people in charge of the TGA awards."

Ren Kang, acting as an intermediary, took on the responsibility of making the introduction.

"Mr. Wims, this is Mr. Chen Dong, the founder of Star Card Games."

"Hello, Mr. Wims."

"Hello, Mr. Chen Dong."

Wims spoke with an awkward accent, but his Chinese was fairly clear and fluent.

Seeing Chen Dong's surprised expression, Ren Kang laughed heartily.

"Mr. Weems is very interested in Chinese culture, and we owe this opportunity to receive a TGA nomination to him."

It turned out to be the case.

Chen Dong nodded slightly.

After the three of them sat down, Ren Kang got straight to the point.

"Mr. Chen, we invited you here today to discuss issues related to the overseas expansion of Terraria."

"Terraria going global? Does that mean an international version of Terraria is being made?"

"That's right." Weems nodded and added, picking up where he left off.

"TGA awards require both players and judges to score the winners."

"Therefore, we need Starcard to create the international version of Terraria and obtain rating data from overseas players."

Seeing that Chen Dong had directly said the second half of the sentence, Wims couldn't help but give him an approving look.

Talking to smart people is easy; you only need to say half of what they say.

According to the TGA award judging rules, Terraria has one month to collect rating data from overseas players, but considering the development time of the international version, it probably only has about half a month left.

Ren Kang said with some regret.

Based on the results of his previous discussions with Wims, Terraria could directly use player rating data from the domestic Steam platform to participate in the TGA awards evaluation.

However, the sudden change in the judging panel caused a turn of events.

For Terraria to be eligible for awards, it must have ratings from international players.

Ren Kang knew perfectly well that the reason the judging panel suddenly changed the conditions was simply to suppress Chinese games.

In the eyes of those white people, being able to bestow upon China a nomination for a TGA award was already a tremendous reward.

Upon hearing this, before Chen Dong could even speak, Weems, who was sitting to the side, took the initiative to apologize.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen Dong, this is a decision made by the jury after a vote, and I cannot interfere."

Although Wims was a pure white man, he had no prejudice against Chinese people and loved Chinese culture very much.

However, there are not many people in the Western world who share his ideas.

Chen Dong shook his head and offered words of comfort.

"Mr. Wims, there's no need to apologize. I know this isn't a decision you can make alone."

"But don't worry, Mr. Ren." Chen Dong looked up into Ren Kang's eyes, his expression serious and his voice solemn.

"Even with only half a month, Terraria will not lose to anyone."

For a game, having only half a month to obtain player ratings is indeed rather short and demanding.

Some malicious individuals may even resort to underhanded tactics to lower the game's rating and damage its reputation.

However, Chen Dong has absolute confidence in Terraria.

This confidence also infected Ren Kang, who was sitting opposite him.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Ren Kang had the first thought that he felt old.

His youthful spirit seemed to have died on some ordinary afternoon.

He greatly admired the high morale that Chen Dong exuded.
