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

After finalizing the production of the AAA title "Black Myth: Wukong", Yin Qingying had another task added to her responsibilities.

That means recruiting, poaching, and stealing talent!

After all, it's a AAA title, so its prestige is naturally exceptional.

According to Chen Dong's idea, the product development department five, which is responsible for producing "Black Myth: Wukong", will be the department with the most programmers in Star Card.

After briefly discussing the details of the department's formation with Yin Qingying, Chen Dong slowly left the manager's office and went to the Product Development Department III, which was in charge of Terraria.

"President Chen." Upon seeing Chen Dong, Xiao Qin jumped up from his chair.

"The Terraria 1.4 update has been installed on the international server. It will be available as soon as Mr. Chen gives the order."

Xiao Qin bowed slightly and spoke softly, full of respect.

Chen Dong nodded slightly upon hearing this and patted Xiao Qin's shoulder lightly.

"Well done, thank you for your hard work."

Let's release version 1.4 on the international server before we leave work tonight.

Terraria is nearing the end of its development, with version 1.4 already completed, as the only updates provided by the system have been up to version 1.4.5.

As for continuing to update to versions 1.5 and 1.6, the manpower and resources required are on a completely different scale.

Currently, Chen Dong is preparing to invest the vast majority of Starcard's resources into the development of "Escape from Chickenkov" and "Black Myth: Wukong".

Terraria only needs to act as a health pack, providing more development funds for the two subsequent games.

"Understood, Mr. Chen, I guarantee I will complete the task."

Xiao Qin nodded vigorously, his expression very serious.

Chen Dong smiled, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Only after Chen Dong's figure disappeared through the door did Xiao Qin turn his gaze to the programmers under his command.

"Everyone heard General Manager Chen's order: release version 1.4 before the end of the workday!"

……

It's 6 PM Beijing time.

The update for Terraria version 1.4 has been released on major international gaming platforms on time.

Even without prior announcement, version 1.4 was quietly released on the international server, causing a huge uproar on social media abroad.

On social media platforms such as Instagram and video platforms like YouTube, there are one or two posts about the Terraria 1.4 update trending in search results.

Page views and clicks quickly surpassed one million.

If these data cannot intuitively demonstrate the popularity of Terraria overseas...

The fact that Terraria's sales on the EC platform increased by millions within hours of the update is enough to prove that Terraria has already gained a certain degree of international recognition.

Furthermore, Terraria has a player base of over two million, and its average rating is steadily rising, heading towards 4.6 or 4.7.

Six hours have passed since the 1.4 version update, and on MouseTV, there are already more than twenty live streams of people playing Terraria to keep up with the trend, and the number is still increasing.

As for the player with the largest audience, it was the one who first started streaming Terraria, "Smiling Guy".

He was given this nickname by viewers because he liked to wear a smiley face mask during his live streams.

When he first started streaming Terraria, he only had three to five thousand viewers. Because he couldn't understand Chinese characters, he also experienced a period of low popularity.

Fortunately, Terraria is an attractive game, and its true charm is revealed after the initial learning curve.

As a result, the number of viewers in Brother Smile's live stream steadily increased, eventually reaching more than 10,000.

Today, coinciding with the 1.4 version update, the number of viewers in Smiley Guy's live stream reached over 20,000.

This was almost the most-watched live stream in his entire career.

However, he didn't seem to realize that the number of viewers in the live stream had exceeded 20,000, and he was completely focused on the game.

When he died due to a mistake and respawned at the spawn point, he suddenly realized why there were so many people in the live stream.

"Hey crab, bro, thank you all for your likes and donations! If you enjoy my streaming style, please subscribe to my account!"

In the dimly lit room, a young man wearing a smiling mask repeatedly expressed his gratitude and thanked the viewers in the live stream for their donations.

Remembering those who helped you, Smiling Guy also took advantage of the peak viewership in his livestream to give Terraria a free "GG" (game over).

"Bro, Terraria is definitely the most fun game of the year, and it's also a TGA award nominee. Most importantly, this game is less than $10, so everyone can buy it and try it out!"

If there's demand, I'll be making some beginner-friendly videos on my YouTube channel.

Even without receiving any payment, Smiley Guy remained incredibly enthusiastic and excited when promoting Terraria, boasting wildly as if not playing Terraria would be a huge loss.

If you could only describe Terraria in one sentence, the most fitting one would be—99.9%, a rare find!

Terraria experienced explosive growth in data within a single day, naturally attracting the attention of some game developers, especially Jade and Konami, who were vying with StarCraft for the best action/adventure game of the year.

A Prince of Persia and a Quiet Hill are both nominated for this year's TGA awards.

The next step is from nomination to winning the award.

Besides these, there are several other games on the market that are capable of winning a nomination, but the chances of beating them to win are significantly reduced.

Neon, Edo, Konami Corporation.

"President, the sales of Terraria, produced by Huaxia Star Card, exploded yesterday, and the rating has not decreased; in fact, it is trending upwards."

Following this trend, Terraria is very likely to become a competitor to Silent Hill.

Secretary Takeshita stood in front of the desk, almost folding her body in half, with her spine curving at an angle that clearly exceeded 60 degrees.

However, last month Kim Jong did not give him a kind look. He slammed his hand on the table, making a loud noise that startled Secretary Takeshita.

"You idiot! How dare you boost the morale of others while diminishing your own!"

"Private message, President." Secretary Takeshita bowed repeatedly in apology, afraid that if he was even a second late, he would be punished by the president.

Seeing his sincere attitude in admitting his mistake, Kim Jong-un's expression softened considerably last month, but he still kept a stern face and said in a deep voice.

"So what if Terraria's data has increased? How can a game made by Chinese people possibly compare to Silent Hill made by Japanese people?"

That being said, after a moment's thought, Jin decided to have Takeshita keep a close eye on the future development of Terraria.

If all the data continue to rise rapidly to the point that they threaten Quiet Hill, then we will take emergency measures decisively.

Quiet Hill may not win the TGA's Action/Adventure Game of the Year, but it cannot allow Terraria to take that honor!
