Otherworldly Architect

After the holiday, the Blue Star members began to worry about the "Running Team Assist 3.1" program.

Such a small program, it looks really simple.

The pictures are all made by programmers using previous materials - a mixture of red, yellow, green, circles, squares and triangles. After all, you can't ask the programmers to have such a high level of artistic creation;

Music and sound effects are basically equivalent to none - at most, just copy a mobile phone ringtone, which can remind you when it's your turn;

The operating feel is also non-existent, the keyboard shortcuts are few and far between and the distribution is unreasonable, and it is impossible to support the handle - all operations can be performed by clicking the mouse, and some operation positions are very anti-human.

It's just such a thing that many designers of Blue Star are addicted to it.

Members of other groups were very curious about this legendary existence for a while, and often ran over to the planning group during lunch breaks, stretching their necks to watch them play games.

Of course, they now only see a screen with almost no graphics, and the full screen is full of hardcore prompts:

[The Suzaku Empire has invented the technological warp speed engine. 】

[The unmanned exploration aircraft of the Galactic Empire has been in place in the M235 galaxy. 】

[The unmanned exploration aircraft of the Galactic Empire sent a rare ore automatic collection base in the M235 galaxy. 】

[Smart Machinery Alliance has changed the policy to Armament Plan B.Details]

……

Everyone: "..." This is too hardcore! ! !

But the magic is that the designers are a group of people who are good at brainstorming.

How good are you?

When they see the five dry words "unmanned exploration machine", relevant pictures, background knowledge, associations, and even possible plots will naturally appear in their minds.

Not to mention the time to start a war.

A simple "Galactic Empire's No. 2 Legion marches to the m759 nebula" is not the only sentence in the eyes of the designers.

Magnificent music, sound!

For the background map of the vast and boundless stars and sea, first post it with a capacity of 1 g!

As for the marshal candidate for the team leader, let's think of a popular fried chicken for the time being, and arrange for him another actor to play the role of chief of staff.

The flagship space carrier of the Legion will have a "Titan class" (the latest military confidential model developed by the Galactic Empire). In the alloy glass porthole, two hundred extras will be squeezed into the busy background.

The mighty Second Legion is marching in the universe, it must be overwhelming, but it is silent.

When passing by the old star system, the gentle and vicissitudes of light of the red giant star will shine on each frigate one by one, reflecting the delicate brilliance on the cold steel.

The destroyers are as inconspicuous as the small fish around the giant whale, and they are numerous in number, opening the way for the large troops ahead.

The silent high-temperature rays will penetrate the meteorites and cosmic garbage blocking the front of the troops, and the physical effect will cause the fragments to spread outward at a constant speed-this process should be like an icebreaker, with extremely tense and violent aesthetics.

Then, after the cosmic war started, the brains of the designers were already comparable to black holes.

A hundred popcorn movies can be arranged directly in his mind.

When drinking coffee during the intermission, the game is paused, and by the way, you can imagine a bloody drama where the generals of the two sides have a close relationship in private, even childhood sweethearts, but they have to fight each other for the sake of their respective motherlands.

Designers: Ah! !What a game!

Then Varian, who came to visit, inexplicably saw that the corners of designer Kevin's eyes were wet.

Varian: "What's the matter, what's the matter, are you going to lose?"

Kevin: "No, what a great friendship, what a cruel war, alas!"

He wiped the corners of his eyes.

Then Varian leaned over and glanced at the screen. Isn't this still full of text? !

Varian: "????" Forgive me, I don't understand your designers very well.

As a result, two days later, Kevin wrote out the story he had made up in his brain and showed it to Varian.

This story is full of twists and turns, ups and downs, and exciting.

Varian burst into tears: "Wow! What a great friendship, what a cruel war!"

After speaking, I was suddenly inspired, and I started to draw a fan picture of this story.

Another day later, the team leader of the marketing team just had nothing to do (at the moment Bluestar doesn't have any new games to promote), so he wandered over to the planning team.

Although he doesn't know how to play such a hard-core running team, he loves to watch designers play.

Then he was attracted by the illustrations drawn by Varian in his spare time, and then he naturally read Kevin's brainstorming stories.

Marketing team leader: "Wow! Such a great friendship, such a cruel war..."

One pass ten, ten pass one hundred, and soon Horace, the program boss, also came to take a look.

Then he suddenly had a brilliant idea.

He decided to allow hero units from various countries to develop some irrelevant relationships on their own.

It may be friendship, it may be blood relationship, or it may be enemy.Anyway, the system is random, and it looks like that.

A few days later, all Blue Stars knew about the "Running Team Assist 3.1" program, which was a "dog blood story generator".

What is it that the generals of the enemy country fall in love with each other and kill each other!

His Majesty the Emperor may also have a crush on the prince next door!

That inventor looks ordinary, but he is actually the heir to the throne who is living among the people?

What other duke would woo his own daughter?

"Stop!"

Mingyan was full of black lines, and ran over to chat with Horace: "Your new system has some ethical and moral bugs, please rule out the blood relationship first."

Hollus: "Okay! Here's to fixing the bug!"

……

Next day: shock!The chief executive woke up early in the morning and suddenly found out that his wife was his own sister!After severing the relationship between husband and wife, he chose to marry the marshal next door, and the marshal's ex-wife was actually his biological mother?

The designers were lost in thought (and brainstorming).

"?" Hollus was very innocent, "Look at what I am doing, there is no logical problem."

Schrödinger, who is also a programmer: "There is really no problem, it's just a random result from the random system."

Everyone: "..."

In the end, everyone in Blue Star was too addicted to this running group, so that it was a bit cramped and took up working hours.

Although Mingyan has always been a very open-minded and magnanimous boss, he can't let them go like this.

So he thought about it, put down his inspiration first, and asked for everyone's opinions: "Why don't we just make the running group into a game first? How about releasing it to players?"

Everyone suddenly realized and nodded excitedly.

This may be the most unconventional game development cycle in Bluestar's history.

The underlying structure of the program is almost done, and the planning copywriting has been supplemented by them in their spare time. The only thing missing is the post-packaging such as graphics, sound effects, and interface interaction.

Quickly found more than a dozen outsourcing companies to start the production together, and then polished the current interface to make a beta version.

It is very easy for Blue Star to make a game from scratch.

But if you want to replace a game bit by bit, it is equivalent to keeping the structure of the small canoe unchanged, replacing each part bit by bit, and finally turning it into an aircraft carrier.

Designers: "..."

Clearly stated: "..."

They may need a large number of testers to avoid thousands of bugs.

It is worth mentioning that a little cutie is also visiting Blue Star recently.

Luke kid.

If you still remember, this is the apprentice of the champion player Odin, who once contributed a large part of the promotion of "The Way of the Assassin".

As the little fan of Chief Designer Ming, on March 3st, he not only sent a birthday cake, but also sent himself.

Of course, he didn't get to meet his idol that day.

Luke and the marketers are the first batch of players to test this running game.

At the beginning, they looked at this simple and plain interface and were quite confused: "How to play this? I don't understand it very well. I want to play the emperor? Or the consul?"

Then after the staff patiently explained, Luke quickly learned, and began: "Oh, this is interesting? Can I still win by forming an alliance through marriage?"

After another n rounds, the time soon reached six o'clock in the evening.

The staff didn't see Luke and the others walking out of the experience room, so they had to come over to find someone to eat.

At this time, Luke had already started to explore various new ways of playing the game: "Hahahahahahaha I can put the treasure on the barren planet and wait for the opposite party to pick it up, and then put a siege net to catch people. Torture him first When you lose your mood and feel depressed, you can arrange for a beautiful woman to marry him and increase your favorability by 20 points, then you can recruit him to be your son-in-law..."

The staff glanced at his screen.

Luke impressively formed an army, which he named the "Zui Son-in-Legion".

Staff: "..." Devil?

Sure enough, the little angel who takes the devil as an idol will end up with black wings...

A few more hours later, the people who worked overtime or stayed in the entertainment of Lan Xing all left one after another.

In the middle of the night, the experience room was still brightly lit.

Luke: "The last round! After this round, I will have a new technology. I really just want to see the effect of this new technology!"

A few hours later, the main entrance of the Blue Star Building opened, and employees swiped their work permits to enter one after another.

A new day begins.

Staff saw a panda-eyed Luke in the testing room, and a table full of disposable coffee cans.

Luke: "Don't stop me! I'll go to sleep after this round! Really, the last round!"

When this round is over.

Luke: "This is the real last round! Five minutes, it will be over in five minutes!"
