APIA, SAMOA / ACCESSWIRE / April 18, 2022 / The NYX Game Awards have announced its list of Season 1 winners of the 2022 competition year to the public and hold the talents of game developers and other related positions in the ever-expanding gaming industry in high regard. Whether it be for compact and portable mobile phones, consoles in the living room, or battle station PCs in the bedroom.

In the 2022 NYX Game Awards Season 1 cycle, Evony: The King's Return is bringing home the bacon with the NYX SILVER award! The winning game, Evony: The King's Return was created by the award-winning developer Top Games Inc, led by its CEO David Guo.

David Guo shares his philosophy behind the game design of Evony: The King's Return and how it's won multiple awards. "I'm proud of the team winning the NYX Silver Award. As a player myself, I found that many game companies cared less about user experiences and customer satisfaction and instead focused more on forced monetisation and decisions made without data science behind them so the same poor experiences were repeated." That's the reason why he joined Top Games Inc, to lead it as CEO on a different and better path and why the company focuses on providing top-tier player experiences and services. He and his global team design games from the players' perspectives. Noticing players have friends and large parts of their lives are shared in those games, David Guo and Top Games Inc. aimed to create the best gaming experience with long-lasting gaming communities for their players.

This year, the 2022 NYX Game Awards Season 1 has received over 500 game entry submissions from over 30 countries worldwide. These countries included the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Poland, New Zealand, Finland, Iceland, Japan, Sweden, and Denmark, to name a few. Evony: The Kings Return, was one of the few that emerged victoriously.

"There is an argument to be made when it comes to a medium like video games to be true ‘art'," notes Thomas Brandt, spokesperson of the IAA. "Movies can also be considered art, but it is displayed. Video games are pieces of art that a person can not only view but also interact with and be part of. And it is these people that develop such pieces of fine art that the NYX Game Awards seek to recognize and give them the honor they truly deserve!
