I call the shots on my map [Interstellar]

Everything that happened on the virtual network happened after Song Chenyun fell asleep. After he had a sound sleep, he realized that his fourth map was online, and his map display topic had also been opened simultaneously.

And the reason why he knew about it was not because he ran to the virtual network or watched it in the virtual arena, but because he received a message from Lu Wei.

The content of the information is as follows: [The first collector of your fourth map is me, the first buyer is also me, and the first user is still me.

I am the first collector of your map display area, I am the first buyer, and I am the first user.

There are six more firsts, happy. 】

After Song Chenyun saw it, he couldn't help laughing. After thinking about it, he didn't rush to reply to his message, but opened his backstage first.

Then he was stunned by the income of his backstage. In just one night, his backstage had an extra income of more than 1000 million star coins!

Although he already had no shortage of money to spend, he was still taken aback when he suddenly saw such a number.

After calming down a little bit, Song Chenyun replied to Lu Wei's message: 【Good performance, keep it up. 】

Lu Wei replied almost in seconds: 【Did Yunyun see me in the dream last night? 】

Song Chenyun also replied in seconds: [No. 】

Lu Wei: [I have a dream about Yun Yun, wronged.jpg. 】

Song Chenyun couldn't help laughing again: [But I miss you, smile.jpg. 】

Lu Wei: [I miss you too, come back early to be with me, looking forward to.jpg. 】

Song Chenyun: [Okay, touch your head. jpg. 】

After the two got bored for a while, Song Chenyun was finally able to get up from the bed and head to the arena.

On the third day of the competition, it was still mainly about displaying works, while Song Chenyun continued to experience the map happily.

By the end of the third day's exhibition, all the contestants' works were also displayed. So far, Song Chenyun's score in the first session still ranks first.

Next, the final stage of the finals will officially start.

The competition party will give this year's theme, and then give each contestant ten days to design the map on the spot.

And during these ten days, every move of the contestants will be under the full monitoring of the competition, and will be broadcast live simultaneously on the virtual network.

During this process, if the contestants do anything that violates the rules of the competition, they will be eliminated immediately.

After announcing all the rules, the competition finally gave this year's theme.

【die】.

Those two simple words changed the faces of most of the contestants present.

They had previously studied the themes given by the map design competition in previous years, and imagined what kind of theme they would give this year, but they never expected that the final result would be like this.

Death, how can this be expressed on the map?

Song Chenyun was also thinking about this question. The moment he saw this topic, a dark sky flashed in his mind, and there were many withered plants and trees below. A few crows landed on the bent dead branches, spitting out the words full of tears. Suppressed rough squawking.

Or on a bloody battlefield, soldiers fought bloody battles to repel the enemy, and countless people fell in the flames of war.

At this time, the host officially announced: "Now I announce that the map design session of this competition has officially started. All contestants are requested to return to their rooms immediately to complete the theme map design for this time."

All contestants returned to the room with their own emotions in mind, and began to seize the time to start map design.

Ten days doesn't sound like a short time, but it is very short for map designers.

An excellent map often takes months or even years to polish and complete.

But now they only have ten days to complete the design and production of an entire map, and this also includes the time for them to sort out their ideas and design plans.

Fortunately, the competition allowed them to bring their assistants here, who could help them share some tedious work, otherwise, it would be really difficult for them to produce a complete map that fits the theme in ten days.

While the contestants were concentrating on how to design this map, discussions on this topic started on the virtual network.

#Death, how to express it with a map? #

1L: The poster is talking about the theme of this year's map design competition, right?I am also confused now. If it is another topic, I still have a direction to think about, but death...how should this be designed?

2L: I think this theme is very simple, as long as there is a factor of death, isn’t it all right?For example, it is possible to design a map of Zerg wars, so that as long as the Zergs in the map are killed, there will be a death factor?

3L: The above is quite simple, but you have to know that the focus of the map design competition has always been on innovation and depth. If you really design such a map, let alone winning a prize, the competition will probably regret inviting you. In the finals.

4L: Then how should this theme be set?Is it designed to be the death of human beings?

5L: Don't make wild guesses. Although I can't think of how to design it, the contestants who participated in the competition can definitely think of it. They are all senior map designers in the entire StarCraft. This kind of problem will not trouble them.

6L: Damn it!I saw that a map designer has already started to plan the map. Are they all so fast?

7L: It should just set some fixed patterns, right?I think he handed over the task to the assistant, so maybe the design of the theme is still under consideration?

8L: Speaking of assistants, among the map designers participating in this map design competition, it seems that one of them didn’t even have an assistant. How can he design a map?

9L: You should be talking about Mr. Song, right?His method of designing maps is different from other map designers, and he can complete it without the help of an assistant.

10L: Are you joking upstairs?All map designers design maps in the same way, why is he so special?I think it is impossible for him to finish the design, so he didn't even bring an assistant, right?

11L: The upstairs is joking. You don’t know anything about the situation, so you deliberately black Mr. Song. Is this really okay?

12L: I was just telling the truth. Is this called intentional hacking?It seems that you and your Mr. Song are indeed quite delicate.

13L: That's all right, all of you stop arguing, let's take a look at the design process of the contestants first, as for which of the two of you is making fun of it, don't you know when the results of the competition come out?

14L: Hey, go watch Mr. Song's channel, he seems to have started designing.

……

Song Chenyun has indeed started to act, but in fact he hasn't completely cleared up his thoughts.

So although his actions are indeed doing something related to the game, it is also a way to help him clear his mind.

Every time he paints with his heart, he can make his emotions calm and clear.

He spread out a piece of electronic paper on the table, and began to sketch slowly on the paper. The first thing he sketched was the idea that first appeared in his mind after hearing this topic.

Withered vegetation, dark sky, and crows on the branches, the whole painting reveals a heavy and gloomy atmosphere.

Presumably even interstellar people who don't understand what is painted in this painting can feel this breath from the overall style of this painting.

After finishing the painting, Song Chenyun lowered his head and scanned the scenery in the painting. Although the painting was indeed full of the atmosphere of death, he felt vaguely that there seemed to be something missing in it.

After a while, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he finally realized what was missing in the painting.

Even if it is expressing death, it should definitely not be so lifeless. Such a painting is not only depressing, but also too monotonous.

After a moment of contemplation, Song Chenyun removed the electronic paper and laid out another blank electronic paper.

What he drew next was the second picture that appeared in his mind after learning the theme.

On a bloody battlefield, the soldiers fought bloody battles and killed the enemy bravely. Even though their comrades in arms had fallen to the ground one by one, they still marched forward bravely and never feared the enemy.

Compared with the previous one, this painting is a little more bloody and brighter. Although it is also describing death, the style it embodies is completely different.

Subjectively, Song Chenyun obviously prefers this picture of bloody battle compared to the previous picture of lifeless dead wood, but does he really want to choose this picture as the main background of this design map?

From a conceptual point of view, this map fully fits the theme given by this competition.

From the perspective of genre, this map can be set as a very popular competitive map.

From the perspective of innovation, there should never be a map with this background here before.

From a complex point of view, he can add more settings to this map.

It seems that no matter from which point of view, this map meets the requirements, but for some reason, Song Chenyun still has a little hesitation in his heart.

It was as if there was something important that he ignored, but he couldn't grasp what it was that he ignored for a while.

what is it?

Song Chenyun frowned and thought about this question, but for a moment he couldn't grasp the point at all, which affected his thoughts even more.

This feeling of knowing that I missed something crucial, but not being able to think of an answer, is indeed not very good.

But his time is very limited. If he really chooses to use this bloody battle picture as the background of this design, he may have to spend a lot of time on detailed planning. After all, in this competition, he cannot use his spirit. for map design.

In this case, once the background of the design is determined, he must start the map design immediately, otherwise it is very likely that the complete design of the map will not be completed within ten days.

But even if he knows this truth, he will inevitably hesitate for a while. Once he really starts to design the map, will his thinking be limited by the thinking in front of him, and it will be even more difficult to detect the key point?

Song Chenyun struggled for a moment, and finally took a look at the two paintings in front of him. Just as he was about to make up his mind, he picked up the second painting, but suddenly he paused, and then his eyes lit up fiercely.
