Otherworldly Architect

Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, it is also New Year's Eve.

This year's New Year's Eve time has also been announced, which is half a month earlier than in previous years, so everyone has no intention of working at the moment, and the whole focus of life is almost "waiting for the holiday, waiting for the holiday, waiting for the holiday".

On Bluestar's side, the release date of "Hunter World" is getting closer and closer, and the busiest game testers and programmers who are still debugging bugs are doing the last round of testing before going online.

They invited a bunch of players again, basically a random selection.

Because of the sudden surge in traffic a while ago, the number of players who signed up for the test also suddenly increased again. This time, the screening rate has reached one in hundreds of thousands. Almost all of them are "Heavenly Chosen" Ouhuang.

In this test, the focus was on verifying the complete process of the game, so the staff did nothing to help the players, and everything was left to them to explore.

The overall results are quite satisfactory, and the test engineers also recorded some interesting data.

In this test, out of a total of 200 players:

28 people were killed by the mobs at the lowest level in the game;

79 people have fallen off the cliff and died, and 21 of them have failed the mission because of this;

There were 16 people who hated insects too much and gave up resistance after being confused by mosquitoes. They also gave up the task after returning. Two of them tried to buy insecticide in the grocery store;

1 player was imprisoned for trying to harass a female NPC;

The number of deaths of the four-star boss Volcanic Dragon is 0——In a swipe game, no player can accumulate enough accumulation to challenge the big boss in a short period of time, and most people can only defeat the two-star final boss. Boss only.

One player did not understand the meaning of the NPC when doing the task——

The PC asked him to collect things and put them in the gondola, while he sat on the gondola and hanged himself in mid-air because of losing his balance.

The designer revised the task lines overnight for him.

In addition, 7 players tried to cheat at the slot machine in the hunter camp, and 6 players tried to bypass the 10:1 game currency exchange mechanism and directly stuffed copper coins into the coin slot.

The remaining person didn't even want to pay the copper coin, but took out the mints in his arms...

Thin!Charge!sugar!

For this reason, the designer added a handwritten note at the end of the slot machine rules: [Those who try to evade fares will be fined one hundred times!Those who damage the coin inlet of the machine are not allowed to go out without completing the penalty task! 】

All in all, after this test, "Hunter World" has been completely packaged, and it is just waiting for the New Year's Eve schedule.

During this period, the publicity department naturally kept up with it.

Although they always feel that they may be the most redundant department of Blue Star, most of the time it is not their promotion and the fans' cooperation, but the players' promotion and their cooperation with the players...

The second promotional film mainly introduces the hunter camp, and also demonstrates the differences between the various weapons used by the hunters.

Players stared at each other:

[Wow, Odachi is so handsome! 】

【No one can stop my desire to play with a big sword!A weapon with such a slow attack speed, I also know that it was born to pretend to be X! 】

Seeing the players' reactions, the designers, who had expected it for a long time, showed kind smiles that understood.

The third promotional video is mainly an actual combat demonstration - [Master Ming joins hands with his friends to personally challenge the four-star boss Volcanic Dragon].

There are plenty of gimmicks, and the battle scenes are thrilling enough, so this promotional film came from behind and became the most impressive one among players.

In this way, the pre-sale version of "Hunter World" has also been on the Blue Star platform for a month, and the number of reservations has reached a terrifying number of close to 7000 million.

In order to make an appointment for "Hunter World", many Bluestar players had to download and upgrade their own Bluestar Launcher and become a member of the Bluestar platform—after all, it is an exclusive game released on the platform!

Before waiting for the game to be released, they are not idle, and most of them will browse this emerging platform with curiosity.

As a result, they couldn't get out after walking around...

[AhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhInsane! ! !You can buy it for only three yuan, which is too much! ! ! 】

[Damn, I bought three "Minecraft" activation codes uncontrollably.It’s so cheap, let’s store it anyway, and I can give it to friends in the future, saving nearly 100 yuan at once... (proud chest)]

[Blue Star Doom 1 is half price! !Buy the bundle package of Blue Star Doomsday [-] and [-], get [-]% off!I blew up the Blue Star series! Pong friends, please hurry up and get started! 】

[Wow, the New Year's Day promotion is really awesome, look at me plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one]

[This platform is poisonous, so you gave me a farming game for free. Look at the many discounted games I just bought in my inventory, all of them are masterpieces, and all of them are the best of the year. Can I play it? ? ? ...all get out of the way, I choose to farm! ! 】

This incident even exceeded the expectations of the designers: for some reason, players have a soft spot for this farming.

Maybe it’s because the entrance to the farming game is very approachable—you can see it when you open the door of the room, which has led to a large number of drainage.

The average number of online users on the Bluestar platform has reached billions, and nearly half of them are farmers.

After a small New Year's Eve, this ratio even rose to 70%...

The players simply forgot to eat and sleep to grow vegetables...and steal vegetables.

The function of stealing vegetables is simply poisonous, which directly leads to the fact that harvest time is very important to them.

So a large number of players started to set alarm clocks, calculated when their dishes were ripe, and then got up in the middle of the night to collect them, and went to the neighbors' houses to see what delicious food...

What's more, after calculating which plant has the highest hourly income through the spreadsheet, it will start a way of making money that will never return. Getting up every two hours can do this kind of thing!It makes people suspect that this person is simply a robot!

In this situation of stealing food by the whole people, things quickly got out of hand.

Keeping dogs at home, installing fences and even power grids have become the rigid needs of players.

If anyone's family doesn't have a dog, they have to come back to harvest the vegetable field within a few minutes of maturity, otherwise they will wait for the vegetable field to be "ploughed" by thieves.

As a result, the sales of the corresponding props suddenly rose in a straight line, which almost scared the designers——

They decided to cut the price decisively!

At the same time, everyone is allowed to adopt a dog for free!

The mall now only sells some rare breeds of dogs—there is no functional difference between them and ordinary pastoral dogs, only their appearances have their own characteristics.

And those who have bought dogs in the mall before will directly compensate a lot of pet props, and there is also an out-of-print collar.

On the player forum, a super loud BB was quickly issued:

【Blue Star! ! !You fucking don't eat! ! !This is the first time I saw a store item and it was directly free! 】

[Game discounts are fine, dogs can be given away for free, have you asked Xixi for her opinion? 】

[What are you doing!Blue Star is really relying on the fact that there is a Dragon Slayer behind his back, so he doesn't take money as money!Is Tulong going to release a super krypton gold mobile game in the next year to make money to support the family...]

[Blue Star Games, buy early and enjoy early, buy late and get a discount, if you don’t buy, get free? ? ? 】

Due to various factors, the players of Farming Stream have even brought traffic to the Blue Star platform in turn—

They invited their relatives and friends to try this small game on the platform together.

As a result, because of the function of stealing food, it suddenly became a place for family and friends to play and fight.

Some small groups who have taken the opportunity to come down after graduation and have never been in contact with each other have become active again because of stealing vegetables.

Former classmates and friends went online one after another to fight, and there was even a new common topic: growing vegetables.

After planting the field, maybe you can call out your own little dragon by the way, play two "Dragon Hunters", and discuss the dragon species that may appear in "Hunter World";

Or revisit the blood of the year, gather five former friends, play a "League of Legends" five blacks, and feel that there are many heroes that are new or reworked. Everyone doesn't know much about it, but together The joy of fighting side by side is still vaguely the feeling of the past;

Or, go to "Minecraft" together again, a group of cube people laughing and laughing to start over, build small houses together, dig in the ground together, go out to find animals to bring back livestock, and cultivate farmland together...

Then I started to grow vegetables again (square version)?

No matter how small a game is, once such a complex social network is established, it is destined to become extraordinary.

After realizing this, the designers of Blue Star held a meeting together.

They discussed several similar proposals, and after reading it clearly, they decided to say: "Use Plan No. 2, now that Kevin's team is temporarily free after finishing "Assassin [-]", let them follow up and develop this farm game." , including all the other ideas - combining farm, ranch, mining, fishing and cooking and other leisure content into one.

"In terms of code name, it's called 'Farm' first.

"Now the farmland in the player's log-in device will not move, let them continue to maintain this social status on the platform. In the future, after the 'farm' goes online, it will be linked here, and you can enter the game directly from the farm."

Blue Star is not proficient in making high-quality small games, but he is definitely capable of it.

They have perhaps the most elite team of designers in the Rising Sun Alliance, and they are best at this kind of delicate and mature architecture.

This accidental small game is mainly started by the sub-team led by Kevin. It is expected to be completed within 5 months, and it will be officially launched on the Blue Star platform at that time.
