Otherworldly Architect

In mid-November, the new awards ceremony of the First League Association was held outside the Platinum Palace on time.

At the end of the trip, Mingyan and Xia Cheng naturally rested in the space port for two days, and then joined the large army from the Sixth Star Province.

Most of the people who came here this time were the backbone and old employees of the studio, as well as the newcomer Zhuo Yu and the eternal mascot Xixi.

The few people are familiar with the ceremony of the League One, and stayed in the hotel arranged early.

At this time, Mingyan received another piece of good news.

"Has the Blue Star Research Institute finally made a breakthrough?"

Mingyan took the letter in surprise and opened it.

After ten years, the Blue Star Research Institute has slowly collected nearly 50% of the earth's genetic database, and has been able to restore the genetic models of most extinct species.

Recently, they began to prepare to try to thaw the human body and restore the human gene database completely.

This means that maybe in the future, a case like Ming Yan... will no longer be a special case.

Mingyan now has a small daisy sample on the bedside.

Blue Star's research work has been developed so far, and the Institute has always been very grateful for Mingyan's contributions...mainly in terms of donations.

Because of the popularity of the "Blue Star Doomsday" series, the attitude of all walks of life towards them has also changed from indifference to familiarity and friendliness today.

Even some veteran cadres in the research institute were surprised by the knowledge acquired by some players who studied the ancient culture of the Blue Star in "Xia Ke Xing" - known as "Xia Ke".

Conversely, the various discoveries of the Blue Star Research Institute have been providing a new creative background for the "Blue Star Doom" series.

The discovery this time made the designers of Blue Star quite excited.

Everyone also has the prototype of "Blue Star Doom 3" in their hearts - maybe one day in the future, the blue star in the game will no longer be a scroll of wasteland, and human beings will rebuild their homes on it, thriving and prosperous again .

It's not just "Blue Star Doom 3". On the studio's schedule now, there are also game development projects such as "Assassin's Way", "Mortal Soul 2", "Farm Time" and so on.

The designers came out collectively for a vacation, and they regarded it as a gathering.

Not to mention, on the territory of League One, you can always get the latest information from the game industry——

"Eh? XCom released new hardware again? We can try to port a few mobile games like Knights Card and Dragon Hunting to it!"

"There is a new algorithm for the character's hair, and if it continues to be updated like this, my own hair will almost be lost..."

"Someone next door tried a new AR game mode. It seems that the reviews are very good, and it may win this year's Excellence Award."

……

In general, Bluestar is most concerned about two points: one is the update and iteration of hardware and technology; the other is the update of knowledge in design theory.

For programmers, it is natural to go straight to their peers to participate in the discussion.

Every year, they have corresponding summits to attend, and several bigwigs from Bluestar have given speeches on stage many times.

Bluestar's development technology is now at the peak level in the industry. This is mainly because their design concepts are too cutting-edge, and their technical direction is one step ahead of others.

Mingyan's side is also surrounded by colleagues.

Many designers are relatively shy people, and they may not be able to speak when they are alone, but in such a crowded scene, they are very good at booing.

The designers who came to participate in the League One ceremony were already well-known bigwigs.

But now the bosses are queuing up to get Mingyan's autograph, and almost all of them are carrying Blue Star's new game collector's edition.

This signing is endless, and if you meet a new person, you have to exchange business cards and sign.

After signing in, the make-up time arranged by the secretary was almost over, and she said angrily: "Boss, hurry up and hide from the limelight! Before you leave next time, you should sign him a few hundred, and then let them directly Come get your autograph!"

"..." Ming Yan also couldn't laugh or cry.

The reason why so many people came to sign autographs this year may also be due to the fact that they have participated in several interviews and programs.

After all, he lost his vest at the beginning of the year, so he needs some channels to explain to the players, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

As a result, after being on the show, after the mystery of the "God of Wealth" was unveiled, everyone faced the change from the mysterious God of Wealth to the more familiar and friendly Master Ming, and they immediately let go up.

Before the summer vacation, Mingyan also went back to participate in an academic program of his alma mater, and had a close conversation with the students of the past two years.

... The enthusiasm of the students made him feel a little overwhelmed. These children seemed to worship themselves as gods.

I heard that the speech given at my alma mater ten years ago is still being "archaeologically" read, and it has accumulated billions of views.

In desperation, Mingyan also revealed a little bit about his work plan.

He is considering integrating some of his notes and thoughts into a tutorial book like "Introduction to Game Design", which will probably be published next year.

As soon as the news came out, not only the students exclaimed, but even the game industry fell into an upsurge like "Luoyang paper is expensive".

It is stated that the writing of the book has not yet started, and it is just an outline of the table of contents, and the editing of the Atlas family has already started:

[The game design bible is coming soon?If you haven't booked yet, you are out! 】

All of a sudden, Mingyan felt that the burden on him was much heavier.

In the past two months, he was on vacation outside, sitting on the bed at night, still not forgetting to open the notepad, slowly sorting out the various notes of the past ten years.

Xia Cheng also craned his neck to look over: "I am Kangkang, let me be Kangkang, teach me something, I have already scored 12 for "Kitten Interstellar Adventures 6.0" I made before! Learn two more skills, maybe It's the Platinum Palace!"

Mingyan laughed until he lay on top of him and couldn't get up.

……

It's hard to say when Xia Cheng's "game" will enter the Platinum Hall. Blue Star's "Hunter World" has just received a 10.0 full score report and has been officially moved into the Platinum Hall.

This is the only masterpiece with full marks this year. Everyone who came to the A-League Gala looked calm, and everyone had the final result in their hearts——

The best of the year must be "Hunter World".

However, when the lights suddenly dimmed, golden confetti was scattered all over the place, but there was no image of "Hunter World" on the big screen for the time being.

There was a small sound of surprise at the scene.

What people see is that starting from the simplest block, Steve, the protagonist of "Minecraft", climbed out of it, raised a handful of stone manuscripts, and ran happily.

He passed the battlefield of "League of Legends", where various familiar professional heroes were competing fiercely, and the rainbow light of the spell knocked off Steve's hat;

Then there is the famous Blue Star Wasteland, where the huge white dragon sprayed out a jet of water and pinned a rainbow on Steve's forehead;

The final boss of "Mortal Soul" "The Shell of the Outer God" smashed Steve out of the screen with a hammer;

Then he climbed up again, started to use lightness kung fu, and leaped onto the Forbidden City of Zhongdu in "Xia Ke Xing", overlooking the entire magnificent ancient city;

As Steve leapt down, changing into the uniform of the Assassins again, he yelled "Only the Truth Survives!" and threw himself through a door;

Walking through the corridor of "INSIDE", Steve finally pushed open a rainbow door;

Behind the door, the green grass is lush, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and a real world of hunters is slowly unfolding.

The audience applauded everywhere.

Everyone looked in the same direction and smiled from the bottom of their hearts.

A golden light locked onto Mingyan who was sitting on the Blue Star & Dragon Slayer Saber seat, and Xia Cheng beside him who was full of pride.

The background music is playing "League of Legends" this year's league theme song: "Legends Never Die".

The host said slowly:

"His works have a strong and distinctive style, with a magnificent world structure, delicate and profound plot description, and unconstrained design ideas, which represent the highest achievements of contemporary game architects.

"He has the spirit of a real gamer, and has been diligent and dedicated for ten years. He has brought us unimaginable masterpieces one after another, opened up many design paths leading to the future, and led many Players keep moving forward.

"He is a sign, seal and milestone of an era, and his works are eternal classics in our hearts.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first time in the history of the First League Association to issue the 'Platinum Achievement Award'. This is an unprecedented individual award, which symbolizes the highest honor in the game industry. Now let us please--

"Blue Star Studio, Mingyan, Master Ming!"

The author has something to say:

It's over! ! ! (roll)

It's over! ! ! (screaming)

Once again, I wrote a long novel that broke my own record. I was so reluctant to let Ming Xiaoyan and Xia Xiaocheng chatter, so the author went to bite the pillow and cry for a while.

I am also very grateful to everyone who has been with me for so long, I love you, meme chirp.
