Starting with Genshin Impact, the whole world is going crazy for it.

The system was compiling the evaluation data when it delivered its final conclusion to Zhou Tiankuo.

"In the upcoming announcement from the Host Design Awards, League of Legends won the gold award, Counter-Strike won the silver award, and Genshin Impact won the bronze award!"

Even the system's voice became excited.

Zhou Tiankuo couldn't help but show his delight.

He only played three games in total since he came into this world.

Now, a single design award has managed to sweep the top three spots.

"Great! I'll definitely show this to those plagiarists..."

Zhou Tiankuo said smugly.

He plans to post some updates on Weibo after the official results are announced.

And we'll be holding another giveaway.

"Congratulations, host, you have received a total of 18000 crafting points as a reward!"

18000?

Zhou Tiankuo gasped.

That's almost 2 crafting points! When did the system become so generous?

Faced with Zhou Tiankuo's doubts, the system calmly said, "According to the main and side quests, the host's performance is quite surprising, and it is only right to receive these rewards."

"Please also participate in other design awards, and there are also exchange meetings for game designers that you can choose to attend, which also have hidden rewards."

Is there even a question? Of course we should participate.

You can get so many rewards just by releasing the game without doing anything.

Zhou Tiankuo became even more determined to create more games!

"Of course, host. Today, it's time for me to tell you something very important."

The system suddenly spoke slowly.

Zhou Tiankuo: "?"

"Actually, this god-level game creation system also contains a fatal bug."

"That is... if you don't play the game... you will die."

When it came to the last sentence, the system seemed to deliberately slow down its tone.

I want Zhou Tiankuo to know the seriousness of this matter!

"Holy shit..." Zhou Tiankuo couldn't help but swear.

Why didn't the system tell you about something this big sooner?

I thought I was given a golden touch, but it turns out it has side effects!

"Don't worry, host. There's still plenty of game database!"

"I believe the host must also love making games, right? Right?"

Zhou Tiankuo nodded with tears in his eyes.

You guys, thank you.

Chapter 63: I had no choice but to give him the award.

After suddenly learning about this bug in the system, Zhou Tiankuo lost all interest in doing anything.

He actually stood there in a daze for a full half hour.

By the time I came to my senses, it was already late.

Zhou Tiankuo stood up, turned on the light, and intended to draw the curtains, but couldn't help glancing out the window.

It must be said that the location of the house he chose was excellent.

This spot is halfway up the mountain, offering views of the myriad lights that illuminate the evening sky.

"Unbeknownst to me... I've been in this world for several months now."

Zhou Tiankuo sighed.

However, he has been quite happy these past few months because his system awakened not long after he arrived here.

Zhou Tiankuo stopped thinking about it, drew the curtains, and returned to his computer.

He has now received the design award, but the other awards have not yet been announced by the design competition organizers.

According to the system, this year's design competition seems to have had a rough time.

There are so many things that I haven't had time to arrange or prepare.

……

At this moment, in the office of the Best Game Design Competition.

Five renowned game designers and five game critics from the industry have gathered here.

"Why are you all quiet? Are you tired after a long day of meetings?"

Zhou Yunpeng looked at everyone's tired faces and found it a little funny.

Another person spoke up: "This year's selection process must have been quite tiring, Brother Zhou."

Once one person spoke up, the others echoed him.

"Yes, as in previous years. We've already communicated with all the design award winners..."

Although this is not good.

But everyone here knows the truth.

Only a handful of games are released each year, and only a handful of major game companies are involved.

After the game design awards are announced, they can reap the benefits they want, while the big companies can gain prestige from them.

Compared to their subsequent game profits, this investment is nothing.

Who would have thought that Tiankuo Studio would suddenly emerge this year!

"Do you think... it's still not too late for us to change the outcome?"

One of them asked cautiously.

The others looked serious, but after hearing this, they all showed hopeful eyes.

They all looked at Zhou Yunpeng.

Zhou Yunpeng, the most senior game designer here, shook his head.

"If we hadn't solicited so many opinions and votes from the public for this design award competition, we could have made changes."

"But right now, the voting results have all been published online."

In terms of the total score, the judges' professional scores and the public votes are calculated in a 40/60 ratio.

Each game has a total score of 100 points.

Each judge can score the game, with a maximum score of 100. The scores will be set aside at a 40% weighting.

The public vote received a total of 100,000 votes.

These 100,000 votes were given to all the games that participated in the selection this year, and were ultimately converted proportionally and included in each game's score.

Unfinished games that haven't been released yet are not included in this mechanism, but they can participate in the selection of another award.

Strictly speaking, vote rigging is not allowed; each account can only vote once, and the identity verification process is quite cumbersome.

The mechanism is a bit complicated and at first glance seems quite unfair.

However, the results of the selection over the years have not caused any controversy.

The results are calculated proportionally based on public votes.

"Most of the 100,000 votes sent out this time went to these three games. Even if we gave all the other votes to the games we wanted to push forward, we wouldn't be able to get any of them."

Zhou Yunpeng sighed.

Even if every judge gave the other games a perfect score, it wouldn't change the outcome of this situation.

When the others heard him say that, they could only purse their lips.

"It seems that the only way we can make money this year is from the professional selection process later on."

Some major game developers haven't released their games yet, they've only released trailers.

This is the award I've been waiting for.

"But where did this Tiankuo Studio come from...?"

"I've never heard of this before. So many games have been released this year, and they're all top-notch."

Seeing that the situation was beyond repair, they began to discuss the mysterious studio.

Zhou Yunpeng shook his head: "I've also investigated this studio, but I really couldn't find any information about it."

"At present, I am more inclined to believe that they are an independent studio released by a major company, with the aim of making high-quality games."

The others thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.

"Damn it, I still get angry just thinking about it. Such a powerful studio suddenly appeared."

"All the games released before were like that... who knew that a cheater would suddenly appear."

Who would have thought this day would come!

Their design award has been running for so many years, and although there have been some tacit underhanded dealings, it is still considered authoritative and fair most of the time.

In order to maintain their reputation, they have no choice but to honestly announce the results of the vote!

Zhou Yunpeng smiled and said, "Since things have come to this, let's not complain anymore. The more we say, the more mistakes we'll make. Be careful, the walls may have ears."

"They've made enough money over the years, so everyone should be happy that a studio like this has emerged."

After all, he used to be a game designer with lofty ambitions.
