The Creator of the Second Dimension

[Chu Future]: Well, the situation here is pretty good. I also watched the previous concert, which was very good.

Chu Weilai typed a reply, scrolled up again, looked at the conversation between the two in the chat box, and was inexplicably moved.

[Xu Rui]: That's good. We often receive complaints from users, asking why [Future] isn't updating, can you urge him to update quickly.

[Chu Future]: Uh, well, I'm doing it, I'm doing it.

Chu Weiwei showed an awkward smile facing the screen, which was actually what he was struggling with.

As the video producer [Future] of Chuyin Video Network, he can indeed continue to cover songs, earn income from traffic, and even develop towards this. Changes, become more clear, hearty, very suitable for pop songs.

But Chu Future is still hesitating whether to develop in this industry. The reason why he chose computer-related is also because of this consideration.

In Chu Future’s view, animations and comics may not last a lifetime. He likes cover songs now because of his love for the works. But if he gradually changes his interest in the future, can this job continue?

he does not know.

Xu Rui still chats with Chu Future every month. The two are like brothers. They talk about Chu Future's studies and his and Qin Shanshan's life. Xu Rui doesn't interfere too much with Chu Future's choice. The teenager makes his own decisions.

[Xu Rui]: By the way, you know the "Steam" platform, right? This is a comprehensive game platform that Hatsune Games is planning to develop.

[Chu Future]: Well, I heard from Shanshan that she has also obtained the qualification for the advanced test.

[Xu Rui]: Our platform is going to launch an independent game award at the beginning, and I will send you the specific information later.

[Chu Future]: Huh?

[Xu Rui]: Didn't you say before that Shanshan and you want to make a game? I think you can take part in it as an attempt.

Seeing Xu Rui's words, Chu Future was suddenly moved.

In fact, he just casually said this to Xu Rui, but he didn't expect him to remember it. Although Chu Weiwei didn't think Xu Rui held this independent game award with him in mind, there are people who pay attention to him at this moment. It felt that Chu Future, who had been lacking in love in the past, was indeed moved.

[Chu Future]: Well, I will tell Shanshan.

Afterwards, they chatted a few more words about daily life. After Xu Rui invited Chu Future to take Qin Shanshan to Ningjiang to play, the two ended their conversation.

Two minutes later, Xu Rui sent a manuscript. Obviously, this is the promotional copy of the Independent Game Awards. Since the design of the poster theme has not yet been completed, there are only words at present.

Chu Weilai browsed carefully. To put it simply, this independent game award is aimed at individual and small studio game developers. After the work is released on the "Steam" platform, it will enter a project called "Green Light Project". In the partition, players can play the trial version of the game for free, or download the full version for a fee, and developers can also continue to update their own game versions. In the partition of the "Green Light Project", games are all "pre-development" Status, bugs and vulnerabilities are allowed to some extent, which is equivalent to a large public testbed.

When the work is completed, it can enter the official game platform and get various promotions.

The selection criteria for the Independent Game Awards, in addition to Hatsune Game industry insiders, is the number of positive comments the work has received on the "Green Light Project" page.

The deadline for selection is December 31 of this year. In other words, the works must be uploaded at least before the end of this year. Of course, the earlier the works are released, the more advantageous they are, but in the end it depends on the quality of the works.

The genre of the game is not limited, you can develop small pixel games or large-scale full 3D games.

The Independent Game Awards will eventually select several awards based on game type, popularity, quality, etc. The winners will not only get various promotions on the "Steam" platform, but also receive financial investment support from Hatsune Games, which can be said to be a steady profit Not bad.

"What are you looking at?"

Qin Shanshan had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower at this time, her hair was wet, and there were still a few drops of water left on her cheeks that were flushed by the hot water, which made her look uncontrollable.

She leaned over, and the scent of shampoo wafted over, which made Chu Weiwei feel uneasy for a while.

"This is, er, my friend at Hatsune Games sent me a promotional copy about the Independent Game Awards on the 'Steam' platform."

He thought he had to show Qin Shanshan anyway, so he gave up his seat.

It was still cold in March, Chu Weiwei saw that Qin Shanshan's hair was not completely dried, so he turned around and brought a hair dryer to help her dry her hair while she was reading the copy.

Run your fingers through Qin Shanshan's black hair, and the hot air from the hair dryer blows away the moisture.

"Wow, this game competition seems to be very powerful."

Qin Shanshan has already obtained the pre-test qualification of the "Steam" platform. Originally, she only participated as a player and anchor, but now seeing this independent game award, she can't help but look forward to it.

"So, my friend asked me, uh, shall we try to compete?"

Hearing Chu Future's words, Qin Shanshan suddenly turned her head.

"real?"

Qin Shanshan couldn't believe it. She originally thought that Chu Future would not be interested in game production, and she often felt guilty for dragging Chu Future to play games.

"Well, I think game production has high requirements for programming skills, and it should be an opportunity to exercise."

He said that seeing Qin Shanshan's eyes lit up.

"Then we have to act quickly."

Qin Shanshan got down from the chair, looking very much looking forward to it.

"We are starting to do it now, and it will be only a few months until the end of the year. It is very difficult to make an interesting game, but I think the two of us together, um, plus Wei Tian, ​​the three of us will definitely no problem."

She chattered a lot, and seemed to be thinking about what game to make and how to make it in her mind.

"It's definitely too late for 3D, how about platform jumping, or horizontal shooting?"

Seeing Qin Shanshan's excited appearance, Chu Future smiled and silently put away the hair dryer.

The news of the Independent Game Awards has not been prepared for a long time. On April 1st, when the "Steam" platform launched the preliminary online test, the news of the Independent Game Awards was announced on the platform's home page.

This is an unprecedented event in the game industry. In an instant, all the independent game producers and the entire industry were erupted because of this news.
