The World of Evil God game.

Chapter 685 Extra : Best Art Award
"The Cosmic Video Game Awards? The Fictional Church has been doing something really cool lately."

"Hey, are there any awards for space art? The last one was an art exhibition, so the next one will be a selection? Although games have only appeared in recent years, there are all kinds of primitive art."

"That didn't happen long ago! Artists in the universe are already arguing over it on the forums, and they're gearing up for a big event!"

"If we show it now, it will just be a vote-grabbing exercise."

When the Fictional Church expressed through various channels such as TV commercials and online and offline promotions that it would hold a cosmic event in the Kingdom of Steam, all the "self-proclaimed artists" in the universe who were fascinated by various arts became excited.

From mortals to gods, some guys even came from the Fourth and Fifth Epochs to register remotely. They felt that this was a good opportunity to win a prize because a terrible incident occurred in the Sixth Epoch not long ago where the artistic level dropped ten thousand times. Although that did not prevent the art exhibition from being held, it more or less affected the artistic level of the artists in the Sixth Epoch.

There is no such trouble in the Quaternary and Fifth Periods.

They can output their works as much as they want, even if the organizers limit the selection to the scope of the Sixth Era. But since they are allowed to apply, it means that they can at least get another "best award", right?

What about the “Best Overseas Art Award”?

However, before those awards are presented, let’s take a look at the first video game awards. Although there is only one best of the year, there are many other “best” awards.

Game makers of all races are gearing up for the game. They can't wait to see their works spread throughout the universe. This will not only bring them the most direct and massive economic value, but also the very important "reputation and reputation"!
Of course, winning various prizes and honors from video game awards is also one of the goals, but most game makers do not set their sights on the best game of the year. They believe that no matter in what aspects, the best of the year should be the first batch of games launched by the fictional church.

Then a strange scene occurred.

On the forum, many game producers and online games were clearly discussing the game of the year, but in the end it turned into a competition among games developed by fictional churches.

"Of course I support Fist of the Gods. There is no doubt that turning gods into game characters not only greatly improves the gods' affinity with the public, but also provides them with advertising space, allowing them to use their own images to endorse certain brands without having to stick to the previous missionary model of distributing eggs. This is not just a game, it is also an important door to a new world!"

"Yes, the God Fist is irreplaceable. He is the founder of all electronic games and an important channel for people to learn more about the gods. Maybe people still don't know who the gods are on the forum, but as long as they mention the Tyrant Dog, Grab Brother, Invincible Crouching God and the like in the game, they can immediately name them one after another like naming dishes."

"No! Although Fist of God is indeed irreplaceable in the history of video games, when it comes to freedom and epic feeling, I think Dark God is the first choice. We presented the harsh environment of the beginning of the Sixth Epoch, and launched a rebellion and even challenge against the ancient gods in a terrifying background. Each BGM has an extraordinary sense of heroism, and the cutscenes are impeccable."

"I also vote for the Dark God because he can load feminine MODs."

"When it comes to gameplay, of course I have to mention Stardew Valley. I have already got the votes of all the magicians, alchemists and dwarves."

"The dwarves voted for Hearthstone! They betrayed the farming party!"

"You must be kidding! The truly amazing video games are of course Civilization and Stellaris! Have you ever seen anyone who can create a new universe in a game and then help the real civilization in the resurrection match? Can other video games do that?"

People of all races were arguing fiercely on the forum, and even people from remote areas of the universe who had just gained access to the Internet were expressing their opinions on the forum. Some fans who were particularly loyal to a certain game, because they were kings in real life, immediately issued a mandatory order for the entire nation to vote for a certain game, which was quickly opposed by the masses.

"Look at these stupid people, look at them."

“No matter which one is the Game of the Year, it’s always the honor of the Fictional Church, and we don’t have that trouble.”

"Our goal is to win the Best Online Experience, Most Influential Game, and Best Art Awards of the Year. We need to focus on what we can get."

In the Church of Sacrifice, Uriel, the new bishop of the Church of Sacrifice who succeeded Reva, is mobilizing the believers around him.

Because of his promotion to god, Reva is now busy guiding game creation, and inevitably becomes a "game connoisseur god", following the old path of senior gods such as the God of Narration.

All kinds of junk independent games popped up like mushrooms after rain, and in the largest video area of ​​the forum, Reva had to spend a lot of time and energy every day to taste these meaningless games, so that he could not offer his loyalty to the god of sacrifice and could only resign temporarily.

"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have become a god. Now I am asked to make guides for every game!"

This was the last roar left by Reva before he left.

However, although Reva left, the spiritual legacy he left behind was inherited by the believers. After several years of reshuffle, the main membership composition of the Sacrifice Church has undergone tremendous changes.

Those guys who listened to the speeches with their minds full of bloodthirsty sacrifices have been eliminated, or changed their minds, or went through the procedures for transferring to other churches, and most of the newly recruited believers are two-dimensional.

"Since the Sacrifice Church has become like this, it is better to continue on. Perhaps this is also a sign of the changing times."

With this mentality, Uriel took over the work left by Reva, and developed a more exciting game under the guidance of his predecessor.

This is the Galgame game that Miss Malt mentioned, which receives a large number of complaints every day. Simply put, it is a type of electronic game that allows players to interact with beautiful girls.

Uriel is also the spiritual heir of the Perfect Sacrifice Church. He is loyal to the God of Sacrifice, who is a beautiful girl, and makes his own god the first target that can be conquered in the game. Such a straightforward act of blasphemy has been unanimously praised by all the believers of the church. In the face of this situation, the God of Sacrifice, who has already given up, said
Anyway, this is the situation now. Our sacrifice church's speech activities are completely ruined. The things we experienced in the past era are still vivid in our minds. It's just because of a special transformation that the overall style of the church has embarked on a path of no return.

Now the church is full of 2D people and old perverts.

"So, now that we've done it, we have to do it to the best of our ability! Make all the beautiful boys in the universe into conquerable characters! If you can complete this task, you will be the Sacrifice Church, no, you will be a great figure that has never appeared in the history of the universe!"

The God of Sacrifice has given the order!
The target of the attack cannot be just me, other people/gods must also be involved!

The God of Silver, the female bishops of various churches, the Saint of Time, the God of Titles, the Scarlet God, the God of Labyrinths, the Goddess of Magic, Cinderella, the Goddess of Disorder, and even a crazy woman like the God of Hope. Anyway, there will always be players who like this game, right?
Moreover, the God of Sacrifice even gave instructions personally:
"You need to label them, right? If a female character is too similar, it will make players feel like they are copied and pasted. Apart from the different names, what else are they different from?"

"Different characters have different special labels, which reflect their characteristics and make them memorable, and are even important components to attract players. Lolita, queen, these labels are just the most superficial, and their personalities need to be modified."

"Tsundere, sharp tongue, yandere, gentle, three-no, innocent, energetic, chuunibyou. If Reva were here, he would definitely handle these tasks easily! It's not easy to create a memorable character. If you really can't think of one, just refer to "War League"."

"That game includes a large number of cosmic heroes, each of whom has his or her own unique personality and voice. The God of Fiction made those characters come alive. I think as long as these characters are brought to life, then it will be a great success!"

Precisely because of the God of Sacrifice's words and deeds, this game has been well received as soon as it was developed. Of course, the attitudes of the goddesses have also become very subtle. Their church members believe that this is outright blasphemy, and some even want to launch a holy war against the Church of Sacrifice!
Uriel: "Start a holy war? Don't worry about this kind of thing. Just look at the other party's IP address and you will know that they are countless light years away. Let's get some money and take a bus here first." "By the way, there seems to be a traitor in our church! The God of Sacrifice is ranked fourth! Some of you didn't go to conquer our Lord! You betrayed the Sacrifice Church!"

In the fictional church.

“Games are a kind of art, but what distinguishes them from other arts is playability. Great works always put fun first. But outstanding art style can make it leave an important impression on the player community.”

The early selection for the awards has already begun, but Shang Lin is only conducting the preliminary screening. The judges invited for the screening include not only ordinary netizens and veteran players, but also media from various worlds, including gods related to art.

The first thing is of course the art that many developers pay attention to. In the netizens' vote, three games received quite a high number of votes.

"Hunting Angel" developed by witches.

"Cosmic Pastoral Era" independently developed by the Messenger of Harvest.

"Goddess Under the Stars" developed by the Sacrificial Church.

As for the God of Darkness, although many people think it scores highly in terms of art, its action and music are mainly shocking. Moreover, mysterious and filthy things are everywhere in the Sixth Epoch. After seeing them, people not only do not feel yearning, but even directly think, "This ancient god is worth fighting, let's take him down immediately after the victory."

"Well, the game "Goddess Under the Starry Sky" is very popular in the market. It actually took one of the top three votes for the best art."

Shang Lin took a look at the voting content. Apart from the popular games released by the fictional church, this Galgame received very high votes among the various games created by various races and independent producers.

"Besides, hasn't this become an electronic battlefield where the goddesses are secretly competing with each other?"

Shang Lin casually drew a virtual table: "According to the survey, goddesses will evaluate their popularity based on the number of characters in this game. So far, the one with the highest number of characters is..."

"In a game developed by the Church of Sacrifice, the most-completed game is not the God of Sacrifice? It seems we need to keep up the good work!"

According to the results of similar events in the past, people would prefer to vote for Cinderella or the Still God, but since these two personally took the stage and demonstrated a wave of bad luck magic and statues hitting people, perhaps they were afraid that their "fantasy married life" would be too painful, so their votes actually dropped unexpectedly.

"Well, in the final analysis, this game is about a group of goddesses on the surface, but in fact it is describing an ideal girlfriend who does not exist in reality but can be realized through virtual reality. The two-dimensional creation tries to symbolize the cruelty of reality and piece together a goddess in the heart."

“So even if it’s the other way around.”

Shang Lin was just about to say that it would be a good idea to adjust the attributes and customize a game of the same type with full boyfriend power, and then sell it to those goddesses, but after thinking about it carefully, the goddesses of the Sixth Epoch can be said to have their own merits, and the gods who tend to have male appearance and asexual appearance. It can only be said that none of them are human.

If you don’t know, you might think that a new generation of Pokémon has been released.

The appearance of the gods was just created by themselves. If necessary, everyone could create a female identity. However, the appearance of some gods was fixed and they were too lazy to change it. As for some, like the gods of sacrifice, they initially refused, but gradually began to enjoy it.

"Haha, how about we adjust the prizes? I'll give the goddess who wins first place a golden apple as a reward."

Shang Lin added this reward and planned to explain it in the next award event.

"In order to prevent vote manipulation, a belief synchronization detection program has been introduced. Your actual vote will be recorded in fantasy time and compared with the real vote in real time."

"Hmm? There's another complaint. The Dream God said that this game plagiarized the 'cuteness' of the Dream World. Yes, the Dream God said that last time I went to the Dream World, it was simply an assembly line factory for producing 2D beautiful girls."

"But compared to dreams, do you still prefer games? The interactivity of the Sacrifice Church is much higher than the assembly line products assembled by the God of Dreams. This is probably why this game is so popular?"

"Hmm wait!"

Shang Lin saw that there was an abnormal change on the table. A glowing name suddenly emerged and quickly surpassed the list of goddesses at the front, jumping to the top in one fell swoop!

"Who is the first place in strategy?"

"Millie. Isn't this the name of the goddess of magic?"

Miss Malt looked in amazement at the name that leapt to first place.

Although it is more important to screen and select the game awards now, the appearance of the name of the long-lost magic goddess is still puzzling. After all, the fan club of this goddess should not be outstanding among all the goddesses?

Malt: "Didn't you say someone went to rescue her?"

Shang Lin: "Ah, the rescue in the Seventh Epoch is a bit difficult, because she is not in the initial stage of the epoch, so we have to go deeper to find her, but the task of finding her can be left to professionals."

"But what's strange is, has this game ever been released in the Seventh Epoch? In fact, we can't do business there yet!"

----

Seventh Age.

On a dark planet, a demigod from the Seventh Epoch dressed in archaeological overalls took out a well-packaged video game disc from a pile of strange "legacy". He also had a strange fire dragon badge hanging on his body, telling others that he was a believer in the "Valkyrie".

"I don't recognize most of the goddess characters that can be conquered. But, there is a 'Valkyrie' among them!"

"This is a holy relic from the Sixth Era! I want to spread it to the whole world. No, to all eras!"
