Must read

While admitting that all of the nominated games are excellent, he jokingly said that he came there for nothing. Like many others, he wondered what the GOTY’s criteria have been. But this quick thought has been covered by other more important things to talk about, and he moved on. “We lost today, and could lose tomorrow. So what?”

During the seven years of development of Black Myth: Wukong, the team faced many challenges, with some developers expressing pessimism about potential flaws in the game and the possibility of delays. Feng Ji said, one of the main tasks for him was to encourage and tell colleagues they have been doing great and they were making progress all the time.

The game’s development is a showcase of the methodology the team follows, which can be reflected by the company’s name as well. Regarding why the company is titled Game Science, he shared that “mathematics, physics, and the basic science and engineering derived” are what they stick with to “analyze and solve specific problems,” so the team can truly see why those leaders in the industry are so great to make them being the top competitors.
