Otherworldly Architect

In this way, Blue Star Studio's new project "Assassin" also started quietly in secret.

In the early development stage of a game, designers must first have a complete design proposal.

At present, Mingyan has provided the basic concept of the game and a rough main plot, and the next thing to do is to discuss each detailed module with the person in charge of each department.

These modules include main quests, plots, game maps, models of the protagonist and important NPCs, CG animations, dubbing and soundtracks, combat systems, screen performance, performance optimization... There are so many things to consider.

Therefore, to make a game well is really not something that a planning team can handle, it must have a qualified team.

It's like whether a movie is good or not can't be decided by the director alone.

In the initial design period, we can see that the designers of Bluestar have officially entered the stage of "walking dead".

On the contrary, it is the turn of the programmers and artists to be "high-spirited" stage. They only need to tap the keyboard every day, fix small bugs, and watch the designers work hard into the small black room.

Varian often holds a cup of coffee, stands beside the busy designers, and sighs slowly: "Ah, life and death, the cycle of reincarnation..."

……

Busy time always flies by.

When Mingyan raised his head from the endless design projects, it was Miss Secretary who reminded him that he had news to report——

League One has finally released the evaluation report of "Xia Ke Xing"!

Ming Yan was a little terrified when he heard the news, and said, "Could it be that a month has passed since I didn't pay attention?"

According to the experience of previous years, the reflex arc of League One is always so long. It takes at least two months for a new game to be released, allowing their reviewers to experience it slowly, and then release the evaluation report carefully.

Some games have a large volume, and they have to assign several testers to experience them together;

Some games have very high ratings, so they will enter the second round of the League One experience stage, or simply call multiple evaluators to vote.

And Blue Star's game is often the latter...

The volume of "Xia Ke Xing" is quite large this time. Until now, no player has reached level 60, the full level of the public beta. The game content has just been consumed by these hundreds of millions of players.

So when Mingyan heard that the League One had released a report, he subconsciously thought that the public beta had started for about three months.

But in fact, right now is the start of the fifth season of "League of Legends", that is to say, at the end of November, just over two months have passed.

Miss Secretary said: "It seems that there are many testers in the League One Association who started the game experience in advance..."

Well, I don’t know clearly. In fact, this time, the League One Association has not assigned any experience tasks yet. Many reviewers have already made reports in advance, hoping to review Blue Star’s new game——

The reason is simple, because they went in and played on the first day of the public beta.

Anyway, I have experienced all the experiences, so I don’t comment on it.

How many jobs in the world can make people happy and satisfying, but also earn fame and money?Reviewing Bluestar's game is definitely one of them!

Even, some of the testers were anonymous, and had obtained Blue Star's first round of internal test qualifications by themselves, but it was a pity that they were not so lucky.

This time, the league gave "Xia Ke Xing" a very interesting score, with a score of 9.5.

A score of 9.5 must be in the Platinum Palace of the game, and has the potential to compete for the best of the year...

However, looking at the various games of Blue Star, except for "Minecraft" and "League of Legends", which also scored 9.5, "Blue Star Doom" and "Mortal Soul" are all famous "full marks". ah.

If you say it, many people may have their jaws dropped.

The score of 9.5 distracted by other manufacturers has made many excellent game designers spend half their life trying to get the top rating, but here in Bluestar Studio, it has become a score that needs to be reviewed in a meeting.

Blue Star's designers are heartbroken. Sitting in the office, the atmosphere has never been so dignified.

"Why did we get the lowest score for "Xia Ke Xing", which took the longest to develop? Where is the problem?"

Hmm... that's right.

A score of 9.5 is really one of the lowest ratings ever for Blue Star Studios!

At this time, Mingyan also read the evaluation report of League One, and their title is as follows:

[Blue Star's new theme online game "Xia Ke Xing" evaluation report: 9.5 points, the future can be expected. 】

[Screen performance: 10 points, impeccable]

[Music sound effect: 10 points, amazing]

[Plot experience: 8.5 points, looking forward to progress]

[Game fun: 9.5 points, bring forth the new through the old]

[Depth of content: 10 points, exotic style]

Blue Star Studio, which has always been good at plot performance, was deducted as much as 1.5 points in the section of "plot experience", which obviously slowed down the overall score.

This made several planners in charge of plot design bow their heads in shame.

But Mingyan didn't blame them, but fell into deep thought while looking at the detailed content in the evaluation report.

This is partly because the planners are obviously also interstellar people, and their understanding of the ancient culture of Blue Star is only two months longer than the players. Of course, we can't have too high expectations for their results.

In fact, in the main plot of "Xia Ke Xing", there are still many elements that expressly help each other.

However, he is not a professional screenwriter, and he does not have much working time to participate, so this part is indeed the weak link of "Xia Ke Xing".

But when it comes to weakness, in fact, the plot of Xia Ke Xing is extremely full.

The reason why the reviewers gave 8.5 points is largely because the current version of "Xia Ke Xing" does not give players room to participate!

The current setting of the entire game is: level 10 is a fledgling novice, level 20 is a gangster, level 30 is barely a third-rate master...

And level 60, the full-level player of the public beta version, can be regarded as a first-class master in the arena.

But the NPCs in "Xia Ke Xing" are not like this. First of all, the heads of each sect are master-level masters ranging from 70 to 80 levels.

This leads to: Players can participate in many plots, but they can't greatly change the situation in the arena. After all, their strength lies there!Up to now, no one has reached the full level!

This feeling of "inability to participate in the main line" is the biggest reason for the reviewers to give 8.5 points after deliberation.

At the planning meeting, after analyzing the deep-seated reasons, Mingyan quickly led everyone to discuss the next round of updates.

Blue Star Studio has always been clear about rewards and punishments, but never spends too much time criticizing employees for their mistakes.

Mingyan is a forward-looking person. When he encounters any problems, he does not blame or blame him first. He must first find a solution——

"Let's launch the expansion pack "The Rise of the Mojiao" in the next version, and open the player's level limit to level 70."

"Well, the new expansion pack opens up a large number of random adventure events, allowing players below level 60 to upgrade faster. When they reach level 70, they should be able to participate in the main storyline."

As mentioned earlier, in fact, Bluestar has been preparing for the research and development of new expansion packs.

This time it was just a little earlier than the expected plan.

Correspondingly, a group of people will be transferred from the new project "Assassin", which makes the project manager push back its expected launch time by two months.

It seems that the next new game will only be released at the end of next year.

Amitabha, everyone is very grateful to Master Ming for not rushing to release the concept of a new game!

Otherwise, those crazy players might want to eat them...

The next day, Blue Star's official website published the evaluation report of "Xia Ke Xing" by the League of A as usual.

But the most coquettish thing is that at the bottom of the announcement, a picture of all the designers collectively bowing their heads to apologize——

In a literal sense, all the designers stood facing the camera in two rows, each wearing their own avatar mask on their face, led by Ming Yan, bowed their heads to the camera as a gesture of repentance.

Accompanied by text: [Sorry, players!We only have 9.5 points! 】

There is also a review below, which was written by the boss of the plot planning team.

He sincerely repented of his lack of work, and almost cried bitterly to ask the player for forgiveness.

Even in the photo, there is a white sign on his body with the words "Sorry" written on it.

And the players: "..."

Seeing the players here, many of them went directly to Sparta!

Just leave a message below:

【? ? ? ? ? 】

[We are here to congratulate you for scoring 9.5 points, but you are here to apologize to us? ! 】

[This must be a joke, or I haven't woken up yet! 】

[I seemed to see the top student when I came out of the exam, shook my head and said, "Oh, I failed the exam again this time", I really want to punch him in the face to help him repent...]

[Are you still satisfied with 9.5 points!Aren't you all nominated for Game of the Year! !Are you keeping other designers alive? 】

[I, the I forum came to congratulate me, but I was stunned.I'm so meow... Can anyone tell me if I should open this celebration post now?Or should we also switch to the Condemnation Building? ? ? 】

God knows that the designers are really sincerely repenting, and the plot planners also posted words of apology in Moments.

Maybe this is the experience of being in the top student class.

Just like an exam, he is indeed the worst one in the class. Everyone else scored 100 points, but he only scored 85 points. Of course, he would feel guilty and feel sorry for the cultivation of the teachers.

Most importantly, it also lowered the average score of the class!

But when this sentence spread to other classes, people couldn't understand his psychology at all.

[I'm Tingxi's planner next door, and I've already called the police.You Blue Star are really too much, I am so angry that my typing hands are shaking, and I am crying with anger! ! 】
