Otherworldly Architect

After clearing the customs, Luke, as if he had discovered some hidden treasure, plunged into the Blue Bell Flower branch excitedly.

Here, he saw a menu of orders Christopher could give.

However, Luke poked and poked, but there was no response...

Luke: QAQ

The version of "Assassin's Way 2" sent by Blue Star Studio is a beta version, which is mainly used for Luke to test the main plot of the game.

As for the content of the game after the end of the main line, because it is not within the scope of testing, this version is simply not installed.

Luke wants to play the bluebell branch, it must be out of the question...

And within Blue Star Studio, this part of the content is being reluctantly removed at the moment.

Because when I first started working on this branch, it was a plot requirement, so I thought it was very appropriate.

But when it came to the actual production later, it was discovered that the game content involved in this division was too much.

First of all, branch development requires resources, which requires a system for resource distribution, acquisition, and recycling;

Secondly, the branch can recruit novice assassins, and Christopher can give orders, which involves a lot of random NPCs, NPC growth, and NPC player interaction;

And when the blue bell flower branch is expanded, there must always be corresponding resources or functional buildings;

When Christopher gives the order to dispatch the whole army, he also needs the corresponding battle background, including stories, maps, battle process, enemy NPCs, etc.;

In addition, since players are allowed to slowly cultivate a sub-base by themselves, they must always leave some room for custom content.

All of the above content requires a lot of time to make and carefully polish.

More importantly, they will occupy a large amount of game volume and process time, which is a disadvantageous factor for "Assassin's Way 2", which mainly focuses on main and branch content, and will easily lead to top-heavy results without distinction between primary and secondary .

After a comprehensive discussion of various aspects, I made a clear decision——

"In this case, let's book an "Assassin 2.5" project. Just take out this part of the content and make it into a new game style for the second half of Christopher's life. The gameplay is the development of the blue bell flower branch, how about it?"

The designers looked at each other, discussed it roughly, and felt that this was actually very feasible.

"Although the plot is not as detailed as written, Christopher still has plans for the rest of his life."

"Well, after a general look, the scope of the plot can basically be delineated in the two coasts of the old continent and the new continent, which is completely enough to radiate its influence."

"The gameplay is different from the tradition of Assassin's Way, so this should be considered a rumor."

"How about calling it "Assassin's Way 2: Blue Bell Flower" first? It feels very interesting..."

"The problem is, we may not be able to spare people to take charge of this project now. We can only move it out of Assassin 2 and put it away."

Mingyan thought for a while: "I'll ask, someone might be interested."

Everyone: "?"

This afternoon, Mingyan wandered over to the Morning Star Incubation Park next door.

During afternoon tea time, employees sat in the lounge in twos and threes, either taking a nap or entertaining.

Of course, there are also quite a few workaholics who are still sitting at their workstations and working.

Zhuo Yu, as the person in charge of the "You Draw, I Guess" mini-game, is currently facing a table, adjusting the formula for the points value.

Mingyan looked behind him for a while, and startled him when he spoke.

Mingyan: "Are you interested in the Way of the Assassin series?"

Zhuo Yu almost jumped up from the chair: "What?!!!!"

After a while, the two sat face to face on the sofa, sipping coffee.

Mingyan explained to Zhuo Yu, and said: "This should be regarded as a side story of the Assassin's Way series. The volume should not be large, but the budget is still sufficient."

Zhuo Yu, who was very cautious about this aspect, asked cautiously: "'It's not enough' means, [-] million?"

Ming Yan was surprised and said: "No, I mean one billion. If you still think it is not enough, you need to apply for it."

"????" Zhuo Yu said, "You Blue Star call this 'not enough'?"

Mingyan was stunned for a moment: "Then what do you call this?"

Zhuo Yu said indifferently, "Mountain of gold and sea of ​​silver."

Clearly stated: "..."

This shows the difference between the two teams.

The other party team brought out by Zhuo Yu before, because it was funded by the cruise ship capital in the early stage, and was gradually annexed later, it was a bit stretched in terms of funds.

Every time Zhuo Yu wants to apply for a little more budgetary funds, he has to do a small job and ask the person in charge of the cruise capital for instructions.

After a long time, he got used to it, thinking that this is "a difficult part of life for adults".

Then the first time I came to Blue Star,

Zhuo Yu: You have no humanity!Outrageous! ! !

Facing Zhuo Yu's accusing gaze, Mingyan said cautiously: "Then are you interested in leading this Jinshan Yinhai project?"

Zhuo Yu calmed down, pondered for a long time, and said, "This is a series created by you alone. The first work has accumulated such a high reputation and popularity. Do you really want to hand it over to others?"

Ming Yan smiled and said: "There are too many series, I definitely can't do it. To be honest, the "Assassin's Way 2" project is now in charge of other people."

Zhuo Yu: "..." Hao is inhumane! ! ! !

It can be seen that Zhuo Yu is struggling in his heart.

The most important thing is that he came to the Sixth Star Province for vacation!What's the situation now?

While on vacation, by the way, play a small game at the Morning Star Incubation Park...

Forget it, do you want to make a 3A masterpiece by the way? ! !

Zhuo Yu: I want to go on vacation! !

Clearly: no, you don't want to :)

People who really love games can't hide their love at all.

It is clearly said that the blood can be seen from Zhuo Yu's eyes, but Zhuo Yu is still patient, his previous experience has made him disheartened, and he dare not try again easily.

Ming said: "It doesn't matter, this project is estimated to start next year. You can think about it for a while, my promise is always valid."

Gudong, Zhuo Yu swallowed.

Mingyan: "Including the 'Mountain of Gold and Sea of ​​Silver', I will keep it for you."

Zhuo Yu:! ! !

With such great sincerity, Zhuo Yu's persistence is almost shaky.

Mingyan also said by the way: "If you are not used to working at Blue Star, you can set up another studio by yourself, and I will directly entrust you with new projects. By the way, you may be in the Sixth Star Province I’m still not familiar with it, so I’ll lend you a villa to accommodate your team, and the facilities inside are well-arranged.”

Zhuo Yu: "..."

Why! !Why is Chief Master Ming, who is also a game producer, able to make such a fuss! ! !

After getting off work that afternoon, Mingyan drove his own car to pick up Zhuo Yu to see the environment over there.

This villa is next to a lake area. This villa area is very clean, and there are only a dozen families in total.

There is a commercial street two blocks away, and there is also a food court, which is also very convenient in life.

Open the window and you can see the beautiful scenery of the lake area——

The breeze is coming slowly, and the water is calm. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the residence of a hermit.

The villa has three floors, with an underground garage, and the third floor is semi-outdoor, and there is a small barbecue area.

The second floor is mainly the living area, and the first floor is the work area.

All kinds of electronic equipment needed for the game are readily available.

There is also a small black room and meeting room specially used for planning, and the LOGO of Blue Star is displayed on the stereoscopic projector.

While Zhuo Yu watched, shed tears of poverty wantonly.

But he said clearly: "Don't worry, this is not a property owned by Blue Star, and it will not involve any financial issues. This is purchased with my own funds, and I have never had a chance to use it."

Zhuo Yu: "..."

He opened the window on the second floor and saw the lake view on one side, the street on the other, and another villa not far away.

Ming Yan said with a smile: "That's the territory of Tulong Baodao Studio, they often come to test the game."

Zhuo Yu nodded, naturally he had also heard of the name of Dragon Slaying Sword.

It is not surprising that the God of Wealth would buy a villa in such a place—after all, the God of Wealth! !

After a while, the two had a barbecue on the rooftop.

Mingyan put on his slippers and went for a walk outside, then sauntered to the villa next door to Tulong Baodao.

The project "Love in Time and Space" that Tulong Baodao is currently preparing will be launched soon, and it is still in the intense stage of final testing, preparation and appointment promotion.

Mingyan thought that since he was here, he could drop by to see how it was going.

There are about [-] people in Tulong Baodao studio, so a villa can't fit in it.

Currently working here are all core backbones. Seeing Mingyan's real body, he reacted immediately, and cheerfully took the boss to see their work progress.

"Love in Time and Space" was very punctual, so it was decided to launch on September 9st, staggering the traffic peak hours of Blue Star's "League of Legends".

The number of players on the reservation has already exceeded the [-] million mark.

Everyone was very happy. When they had dinner here, they warmly invited Mingyan to go upstairs.

Mingyan, who had already eaten a stomach full of barbecue, quickly refused, and wandered back to another villa.

As a result, as soon as he entered the door, Mingyan saw Zhuo Yu squatting quietly at the door.

Zhuo Yu said quietly: "Master Ming, the studio of Tulong Baodao is very profitable, right?"

Beach pants + slippers ran over and said clearly: "Uh."

Zhuo Yu: "Just tell me the truth, the one who is said to not make any money... "Iron Horse Glacier"?"

Mingyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded calmly: "Well, it's actually okay."

Zhuo Yu: "It's okay?" I don't believe your "it's okay" now.

Mingyan said embarrassingly: "Now there is only [-] million monthly turnover left, and it is still not operating well. Everyone in the studio also has opinions, and is preparing for a new game... Cough cough, laughing and laughing."

Zhuo Yu: "..."

Mingyan: "?"

Zhuo Yu: "..."

Master Zhuo suddenly petrified on the spot and froze there, like a stone lion at the door.

When the wind blows, powder and slag are still falling.
