Otherworldly Architect

In July, as the weather gradually became hotter, Mingyan once again fell into a substantial game development stage.

For Dragon Slaying Sword, "Love in Time and Space" is scheduled for the end of this year. It is expected that the plot of the first 10 chapters will be released first, and the first 120 chapters will be released.

On Bluestar's side, the main project - code-named "Hunting", is scheduled for next year's New Year's Eve. It is a 3A-level production, and it is still in the underlying structure.

Blue Star finally set up two working groups. The first team was led by Mingyan himself, code-named "Blue Star Team"; the second team was led by veteran designer Kevin, code-named "Morning Star Team". Group".

The main project of the Morning Star Group is "Assassin's Way 2", which is currently in the initial design stage and has not yet been finalized.

In addition, a "Blue Star Platform Squad" was dispatched from the marketing and programming side, contacted a large channel construction company, and were discussing the situation of outsourcing projects.

The Bluestar platform is also scheduled for next year's New Year's Eve, and it is expected to be launched at the same time as the project codenamed "Hunting", which will be launched as a "platform exclusive game".

This is the first time that Blue Star has not cooperated with many platforms and chose to publish games by itself.

There must still be a lot of procedures in the process, and Blue Star has not revealed the wind to the "Blue Star Platform", but just made a beta version of the "Blue Star Launcher" without saying a word.

As Bluestar's partner for many years, Atlas and IPP, two major platforms, held a meeting to discuss this matter at the same time!

——What's going on, Blue Star suddenly stopped cooperating? !

——Did we offend the leader at some point?If Blue Star's new game is not available on our platform, but on someone else's platform, what will happen!

As mentioned earlier, most of the time, between the distribution platform and the game developer, the former has the advantage and initiative.

The traffic in this era is too important. Adhering to the "winner takes all" principle of the Internet, the information arranged in the first column of the search will naturally get 90% of the traffic, while the remaining people will share the remaining 10%. %.

The smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys?It's hard to be realistic.

If the platform does not give any promotion, a game can only hope that independent video producers, bloggers, Internet celebrity anchors, etc. with large traffic can discover themselves and bring extra traffic to themselves.

If you don't even have this, then this game is already cool.

It may be excavated by someone after a few years, and then sigh: "It was a good game back then, but it's a pity it was buried!"

After all, it is impossible for a game to be like a painting, which becomes more valuable as it ages.

In just five or six years, the game production technology of this generation will be eliminated, and new good games will emerge one after another. How can players have the time to play a "buried old game"?

But then again, if a game can achieve excellent quality and at the same time bring its own traffic, if these two points are met, then the status gap will be reversed.

Now the two platforms are begging Bluestar to put the game on their platforms.

——No kidding, this is Blue Star's game!

There is no need to ask the platform for traffic at all, and the traffic it comes with may instead attract traffic to the platform.

If any platform does not have this new game, what awaits them is definitely the anger of the players:

[How could there be no new game from Blue Star! !Spicy chicken platform! ! ! 】

Their marketing team, an elite team of more than a dozen people, is often called "manager" by people respectfully outside, and they serve delicious food and drinks to discuss and sign contracts-[-]-[-] is the norm, and even [-]% of the developers on the platform Thirty percent of the overlord clause.

But when they entered Lan Xing's door, they turned into real men who could bend and stretch. They took out cigarettes one by one: "Brother, do you want to smoke?"

The person in charge of Blue Star does not smoke, but just took the cigarette and explained it to them with a smile.

As for how to explain it, the company's internal secrets will definitely not be leaked-to be a platform is to directly compete with these two companies.

The person in charge of Bluestar said: Bluestar does not mean to cut off cooperation, but the new game is no longer in the form of multi-platform joint release, and will definitely authorize your platform in the future.

Only then did the two platforms feel relieved, and in order to show their sincerity, they also offered an extremely favorable commission strategy.

Afterwards, there was still a little time to stay in Blue Star for dinner. People from the two platforms looked at each other while eating, which was very unpleasant.

Atlas family: Isn't Master Ming's boyfriend the person from the opposite IPP? !It must be an internal PY relationship!This is vicious competition, it is unfair to us!

IPP family: Although Master Xia still has a job with us, he dare not ask him at all, quq.The opposite Atlas must be sowing discord!Shameless!

Both sides: "Hmph!" The leader's heart must be saved!

After lunch, it was lunch break, and then the Eight Immortals crossed the sea to show their magical powers.

——The two sides held up a cigarette each, and found the person they were looking for.

In the end, we met again on the roof of the Blue Star Building.

Because the Blue Star Building is non-smoking, if you want to smoke, you must go to the smoking area on the roof.

By the time Mingyan learned of this, the situation was out of control.

"We came first!"

"No, it's us first! Whether it's negotiating, cooperating, or making an appointment, it's obvious that we came first!"

"Why are you so proficient at grabbing games! You can't even agree on the conditions for following up within a week, how far are you going to leave us?!"

And the person in charge of Blue Star: "..." Why, why did it become like this?

Facts have proved that the face of a big company can only be maintained so well when its core interests are not involved.

When it came to the critical moment of life and death, no matter how decent the elites were, they couldn't help but fight for their heads and blood.

——After all, the contract with Blue Star really represents their entire career.

——If you take him down, you are going to the pinnacle of your life; if you don't take him down, you will take the blame for a major mistake and resign.How can this be peaceful? !

After Blue Star's mediation, the characters on both sides seem to put aside their disputes and shake hands to make peace.

However, at night, the war of public opinion began.

The Atlas family accused the IPP family of disregarding public and private interests, resulting in malicious competition.

The IPP family accused the Atlas family of sowing discord and viciously cutting prices to disrupt the market balance.

The bottom line of the contract that the two sides offered to Blue Star was also discovered, and it was [-]!Blue Star Nine, they only take one!

Next, the two sides began to expose the black history of each other.

The Atlas family exposed the IPP family, broke the company's internal rules, and equipped the young master of the Xia family with top-notch cars, garages, a private line, and almost unlimited "family visit holidays", just to make it easier for him to go to the Blue Star Studio to find Mr. Ming division play!

What's this?This is the ultimate marriage!

The IPP family also exposed the Atlas family, and they are dog licking to the extreme. Their marketing department actually has a hard target for employees: they must have cleared at least one Blue Star game and know it well (the kind that can blow rainbow farts) , or must have recharged at least 10 yuan in "League of Legends" or "Xia Ke Xing" and reached the required level.

What is the concept of 10 yuan? It is almost the annual income of low-level employees!

The onlookers were so frightened that all the melons in their hands fell to the ground!

And the Atlas family also explained: This industry must have a full understanding of the main trends in the industry - it is not enough to experience the paid mall part without charging money, and the dissatisfaction level is not enough to evaluate the entire game content.We just chose one of the most popular games in the Sixth Star Province, which happened to be Blue Star's game.

While the onlookers were still giggling, the insiders had turned into lemon trees everywhere.

This is the big channel they flock to. They are usually arrogant and used to look down on people, and they are willing to ask people to find connections at all times.

But now, because of a new game from Blue Star, which has no shadow yet, they almost started fighting, and the price tag was set to the point of losing money, which can be said to be licked to the extreme.

Lan Xing is indeed a demon concubine who is a disaster for the country! !

And at this time, looking at the mobile phone, he clearly said: "..."

Don't fight anymore, if you want to fight, go to the dance studio to play, okay?

No matter how noisy it is, it is impossible to give out the initial authorization of the new project anyway. It is a magic weapon to protect the Blue Star platform.

In order to appease the two platforms and convey the meaning that they will continue to cooperate.

Blue Star held a small meeting here, and the designers who looked confused said one after another:

"How could something so trivial suddenly become such a big deal?"

"Why did you start fighting?"

"How about...authorize a small game for each of them."

"Just kidding, each group is already operating at full capacity, so there is no time to play games!"

"No, no, I mean, what everyone is bored with is the small book? Like that 'jump a jump'?"

Just like when the art artist met Varian, when he was bored, he would touch fish to draw some Q-version characters he wanted to draw.

There are several big planners who regard making games as a kind of fun, and have made a few games when they are bored.

Even Mingyan has done a very simple "jump" and "fly".

As you can tell from the name, it is really casual.

Mingyan: "..." Seriously?Is it a bit too perfunctory, the other side won't be angry, right?

The next day, Blue Star's employees held a CD with the words "Top Secret" and went to the marketing departments of Atlas and IPP respectively.

When they said: "This is a new game from our family, I would like to give it to you for the exclusive launch. It is very small, but it was made by Mr. Ming himself—" when.

The other party actually burst into tears! !

"Oh my God, my fellow He Dehe Neng actually troubled Chief Master Ming to do it himself! Is his old man living in Blue Star all these years okay? I am really sorry and grateful to trouble him to come out of the mountain this time. Definitely visit the door and pay a lot of money to thank you for saving your life this time!"

Later, this passage was relayed to Mingyan.

Master Ming and his old man: "?"

The grace of saving lives may not be true, but the grace of saving careers is real.

Some people in Blue Star are also employees, and they already have a certain status and capital, so they can understand his inner excitement.

After all, it is clearly stated that since "Wormhole Wave" N years ago, I have never personally made a similar small game. I just worked as the chief designer in various large 3A-level projects.

To outsiders who don't know the truth, the game he made himself feels as if Wang Xizhi wrote a Spring Festival couplet, or as if Da Vinci drew a sketch and gave it to the people around him.

My god, it's priceless, okay? ! !
