Otherworldly Architect

When Mingyan and Xia Cheng finished fighting the Volcano Dragon, the studio's internal test was basically over.

Xia Cheng already felt that the game experience was complete, and couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else that hasn't been done? It looks like it's ready for sale."

"It's still far away." Mingyan filled out the test form without looking up, "Now there are only two things, 'monster' and the environment."

Xia Cheng asked: "What else is there?"

Ming Yan said with a smile: "It still lacks the customization of hunters, including appearance, body, clothing and other appearances; it still lacks the randomization of hunter camps, the relationship, movement and daily plot of NPCs, the randomization of ordinary side missions; and the wild environment. The random map generation of each monster population, the relationship and ecological chain of each monster population, the battle AI and daily plot of each monster..."

Xia Cheng's face was unclear and serious: "The designer is awesome."

Take the volcanic dragon as an example, now it will just stay in the volcano, waiting for the hunters to fight with it.

But what the designers are still working on is what the Volcanic Dragon can do when it is waiting for the hunter, and what additional things it can do when it is fighting the hunter.

In Mingyan's design draft, the Volcanic Dragon has a huge body, with a minimum weight of 20 tons and a maximum weight of more than 50 tons. It is the most difficult monster for four-star hunters to challenge.

Although it is large in size and has a vicious appearance, Volcano is actually an omnivorous creature. It doesn't like meat or vegetarians very much, and prefers to crunch metal ore with its forelimbs.

Most volcanic dragons have different personalities and have their own hobbies just like humans, but the common point is that they attach great importance to their territory and hate being invaded by hunters, so they may spend a certain amount of time chasing after them.

In addition, the volcanic dragon likes to tickle volcanic rocks, which may cause some mountains to vibrate, which will startle a large number of small animals on the volcano map to flee in a hurry.

The Volcanic Dragon will cooperate with the Rock Snake. The former will not eat the Rock Snake, while the latter will clean up the volcanic ash deposited in the dragon scales for the Volcanic Dragon, and sometimes brush its teeth part-time...

Some rarer phenomena may not have been discovered by hunters at first.

But as the players explore deeper, sooner or later they will be immersed in this extremely real world bit by bit.

At that time, they may feel:

[What a miraculous phenomenon of biological cooperation, we need a group of biologists to settle in Hunter World! 】

[The ecological chain is too complete... It is almost doubtful that the designer has lived here. 】

All of these things are the work of the designers.

The Blue Star Building is brightly lit day and night, and the employees enjoy the best treatment and the best honors in the Sixth Star Province, and of course they are working hard to output the best content.

Different from the goals of other companies, what Blue Star wants now is not income or fame, but to set a benchmark.

Today they have made a game, whether it is hardware conditions such as graphics, or design ideas, or the realization of a certain cutting-edge technology, it has become a top-notch production that cannot be surpassed in the industry, and it will be able to provide for all subsequent open world hunting games. Make a ceiling model.

Just like if other companies want to make a doomsday survival game now.

People literally bring their own rating scale—

[This abandoned city is not real enough, there are no piles of abandoned cars and corpses on the evacuation road, bad review! 】

[It's already the end of the day, and you still have the mood to cook fried rice there every day?Can't it be handled like Blue Star Doomsday? The feelings honed on the edge of life and death are so precious...]

[The plot is not that shocking, there is a sense of doom, and there is no sense of mission, let's give it five points. 】

Without the gems of the "Blue Star Doomsday" series, players still can't imagine what a perfect doomsday survival game should look like.

Perhaps, the entire doomsday survival field will gradually become uninterested and become a forgotten section in the game circle.

Blue Star's status is now the emperor of the industry, and there is no way to improve it. What they are doing is a grand blueprint that no one in the industry has ever realized before.

For example, Blue Star Paradise, born out of the experience hall of Blue Star Carnival, has already completed the renovation of the first phase of the project.

This paradise is divided into three parks, namely: Age of Legends, Arena and After the Doomsday.

In the first "Legendary Era" park, there are mainly Blue Star's medieval works, including "Xia Ke Xing", "The Way of the Assassin" series, "INSIDE", "My World" and so on.

The second "Arena" park is better understood, which is "League of Legends", "Dragon Hunter" and other player-versus-player projects.

And the last "After the Doomsday" park includes games with interstellar backgrounds such as "Galaxy", "Hunter World", and "Mortal Soul" series.

On the main roads of each park, there are naturally various facilities, including surrounding souvenir shops, canteens and canteens.

In some other places, there will be a small game experience hall hidden by Mr. Ming, including games such as "The Story of Hachiko", "Wormhole Waves", "Jumping Jump" and "Flying Flying".

Now Blue Star is waiting for the progress of various projects, while ushering in the tenth season of "League of Legends".

At the same time as the season started, Mingyan had once again received an invitation letter from the League One Association.

——"Galaxy" scored 10.0 points, and "Assassin's Way 2" was selected for this year's Best Game Award nomination!

It has to be said that the reaction speed of the League One Association has always been as slow as a tortoise.

The game has been released for half a year, and the association finally gave out the rating and invitation letter.

Everyone in Blue Star expressed their tiredness: "We don't expect the result anymore, please end this process as soon as possible, so that we can finish the project settlement report..."

Now that the ratings are finally overdue, the "Galaxy" report has been filled with an item that was prepared early: full marks for a masterpiece.

The strange thing is that "Xinghe" seems to have hit the favorite points of the judges of the League One Association, and they did not hesitate to praise "Xinghe" with a lot of pen and ink.

One reviewer even used more exaggerated words than the reviewers, saying: [This is an epoch-making 4X strategy game that truly combines exploration (eXplore), expansion (eXpand), development (eXploit), and conquest (eXterminate) The four directions have achieved the ultimate and perfect, "Galaxy" will become a model for all strategy games, this is the best strategy game since the birth of this century! 】

Not to mention the evaluation report.

It is said that the reviewers of "Galaxy" are still clicking the "next round" button...

Academic people can appreciate the beauty of the principles behind game design better than players, so they can better understand why a fun game is great.

[Finally, it's not just an innovation in the plot!Master Ming once again swayed the infinite talent bestowed on him by God, redefining everything that a strategy game can do. "Galaxy" is the game with the best gameplay, it is the embodiment of gameplay!Even if the graphics and music are removed, even if it is restored to the simplest PC game centuries ago, even if only the text and today's pictures are left, it will still make players crazy. 】

【Design, this is the power of design. "Galaxy" is the most simple lesson taught by the gods of design-the game itself is a series of meaningful choices. 】

The last sentence was written on the title page of the design book of "Galaxy".

After League A's passionate rainbow fart, the phrase "a game is a series of meaningful choices" was immediately praised by the industry and became a golden rule.

This report also quickly caused waves among the player community.

【My friends are shocked!When blowing rainbow farts, academics are the ones who really quote classics, I have to obey! 】

【Me: Dad!

League One: Blue Star Dad!

So here comes the question, should I be called Lan Xing... grandpa? 】

[The leader of woc is awesome, tears are falling when I look at it, why? ?My idol is about to conquer the world! ! 】

Obviously, at this moment, Blue Star had to hold a celebration banquet again.

The party will be held in that villa area, so that people from Tulong Baodao Studio can also come over for a meal.

When everyone was drunk, Mingyan sneaked out to the balcony again.

Unexpectedly, Zhuo Yu was already standing on the balcony, and he was smoking again.

The list of winners of this year's League One has been announced, and the team's "Passing Passer" is indeed on the list.

Zhuo Yu and Ming Yan said at the same time: "Congratulations."

Then the two froze for a moment and laughed at the same time.

Mingyan asked: "Are you going to go back? The other side's team should invite you back to hold a trophy."

Zhuo Yu stubbed out the cigarette, sighed and said, "Will they make fun of you when you go back? No, I'm already working for you."

Ming Yan said with a smile: "It can't be called a part-time job, but I still hope that you will come and lead a new project."

Zhuo Yu scratched the tip of her nose: "Well, is what you said before still valid? Regarding the new project and funding of "The Way of the Assassin"..."

Ming Yan nodded: "Are you finally interested?"

Zhuo Yu: "Hey, that's what. I read the evaluation report of the League One. This year, the rainbow fart is very loud, and I am very happy... Anyway, what, what, I suddenly have a little interest in game design again .”

Ming Yan was overjoyed, and slapped Zhuo Yu's shoulder with a palm: "I will leave the burden of the assassin's rumor to you!"

——No, this brother Zhuo Yu is really real! !

——I was already disheartened, but after listening to the rainbow fart, my confidence was rekindled, right? ! !

The two chief designers chatted on the rooftop.

Regarding the rainbow fart of League One, these two really have a lot in common.

But when they didn't notice, in the party below, several designers from Tu Long and Blue Star had already hooked up shoulder to shoulder, drinking to the point of calling each other brothers.

The programmers who originally planned to go back to work overtime to catch up on "Hunter World" fell unconscious on the sofa.

When I woke up with a hangover the next day, I grabbed my respective files in a daze, and went home to lie in the dormancy cabin.

A few days later, when Chief Master Ming dragged Chief Master Zhuo to board the spaceship to attend the awards ceremony of the First League.

Coincidence finally happened...
