Otherworldly Architect

As soon as Odin appeared, all the trolls automatically retreated.

Champions of the League One!There is only one super strongman among tens of millions of professional players.

He himself is also particularly legendary. Among all the PVP matches, he has never lost a single game.

(BO3 is a three-game two-win system, and each game is called a "small field".)

Odin is also recognized as a "Master of Tactics" in the e-sports circle.

As long as there is a game with him, there are basically tactical operations, and I have never seen this person make any decision-making mistakes.

The other players are all playing games, and he alone seems to be able to command the army.

His understanding of battle and war has reached the non-human level.

It has been a long time since Odin won the championship and retired.

His personal fans are eager to see, and basically only see his news during the New Year and holidays.

At this moment, seeing him showing a chin in the video, it was almost tears of joy.

[Lick lick lick! 】

【Ah, the great demon king of my prosperity and beauty has finally appeared! 】

[Focus on the three apprentices just to wait for the master to appear, am I the only one like this? 】

[Is the big devil also playing League of Legends! ! ! ! 】

The comments on this message skyrocketed in an instant, and Ming Yan was shocked when he read it.

He checked the fans of the big devil "Odin" account in the background.

Hey, the alliance has a total population of 3000 billion and more than 1000 billion player groups, of which more than 600 billion people have paid attention to him.

What kind of appeal is this? I'm afraid it's not a ready-made charging?

Odin's strength is unquestionable, and his three apprentices have already entered the national competition.

Wang Xiaowu, that is, his youngest apprentice, often laughs at himself as a "idiot who can't teach", and the teacher might as well teach a piece of "char siew", so he came up with the small ID of "char siu No. [-]".

But in fact, he himself is already a famous master on the list...

The top ten assassins in the world still call themselves "char siu"? !

How does this make other professional players live?

[Char Siew No. [-]: The teacher doesn't seem to be playing, but he assigned us homework.This game helps to understand tactics, so all three of us are playing it. @ Honey Grapefruit: Is the big devil also playing League of Legends! ! ! ! 】

The final word is finalized, and the coffin is finalized!

The champions of League One and the League of Legends are all endorsing League of Legends.

He is recognized as the man who understands strategy best in the e-sports circle. Most game designers and analysts can't match his understanding, not to mention the mob on the Internet?

The homework assigned by Odin to his three national competition apprentices turned out to be to play League of Legends.

Is there any room for refutation then?This game is strong.

Everyone who said that this game does not require IQ seems to have been slapped in the face by the Tathagata palm that fell from the sky.

It hurts so much that people have no ability or intention to resist at all.

They said at the beginning that the League of Legends could not enter the League One, but Ning and Feng fell from the sky——

The chairman of League One recommended League of Legends!

Then they wanted to complain that the League of Legends had no strategy, and in the end, another Wang Xiaowu flew in——

Forget about Wang Xiaowu!

The point is that Odin, the big devil behind him, actually used this game to teach his apprentices!

The bigwigs at the top of these industries don't need to play fake at all.

They are very open and aboveboard in their actions. If they say this game is good, that is their true opinion.

Even the great president of the Rising Sun Alliance doesn't have the ability to ask them to endorse a person.

can only say……

[My leader is already invincible, invincible is really lonely. 】

[The big devil and the leader, heroes cherish each other? 】

[AhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhThe leader released a super invincible universe's first awesome game, I want to watch the big devil live once!Beg! 】

[Thousands of blood books, please cooperate +1]

However, the recently stated work schedule is really full.

In the blink of an eye, the busy March is almost over.

Ling Xiaoman, a punk girl who signed a contract before, has confirmed that she will come to Blue Star for an internship in the summer vacation.

She will directly join the project code-named Last (the game name is "Blue Star Doom") and participate in a two-month pre-development period.

It is clear that he will also enter the intense preparation stage.

……

At this time, the marketing girl knocked on the door of Mingyan's office again.

She reported one thing about a mod of "My World".

Last month, the two flagship mods of "Minecraft" "Middle Age Technology" and "Apocalyptic Age" were launched, which quickly gave this old game a new spring.

The community that players have poured into has reached the expected scale very quickly, and even the number of mod authors has exceeded Blue Star's expectations.

This is a very good start!

Mods are a very fashionable thing in the interstellar era.

When "My World" launched this concept, players were pleasantly surprised to find that many games that have been on the line for a long time have begun to introduce new ones!

Unlike version changes, mods are things that players can decide whether to install and uninstall, but the expansion of game content is a real thing.

The most obvious example is the first person to eat crabs.

"Minecraft" has always been on the list of free games. It can be called an evergreen tree in the game industry, and its long-term income is extremely stable.

Every time Blue Star Studio releases an update, it will rise by a wave.

But now it is even more powerful, even players can make their own mods, which can also make it rise.

What does it mean?

For example, other Jianghu people are still practicing with their swords a thousand times a day, but Blue Star Studio - it leaves the practice to its fans!

Fans work for him for free, and all the internal energy cultivated is still in "Minecraft", and nothing is wasted.

This is a self-contained shadow avatar practice plug-in!

Lying on the bed can increase internal strength out of thin air, how can it not make people envious and jealous.

At the very least, the later opponents have died down.

As early as a year ago, games that imitated the style of pixel survival and construction have been developed one after another and put on the market.

They didn't rank very well at first, but that's to be expected.

There is no way, the original "Minecraft" is still alive and well, it is really blessed like the East China Sea, and Shoubi Nanshan.

It occupies 90% of the market share of this type, and it is basically impossible to grab players from it.

As the popularity of "Minecraft" drops slightly periodically.

These opponents started to fight one after another. Behind them stood the assessment of Cruise Capital, and they dared not and could not relax their pace of catching up.

After a large amount of advertising investment, it does have quick results in the short term.

But players can enter the game because of advertisements, but they don't necessarily stay in the game all the time.

These players are all "spoiled" by "Minecraft"!

[It's not as fun as "Minecraft", the extras are all weird things.These monsters have no characteristics at all, and they passed by inexplicably with a diamond sword. 】

Listen, a batch of newly designed creatures have been demoted to nothing.

[The same is stacking cubes, why is your operation so awkward?I might as well do it in Minecraft!Bad review, uninstall! "My World", re-download, start! 】

Isn't it inevitable that there are subtle differences in the operating feel of different games?

If you like Minecraft so much, why do you want to uninstall it!

There is also this saying:

[Spicy chicken game, copied Minecraft, and it doesn't look like it at all! 】

In fact, these imitators are on the verge of plagiarism, which cannot constitute plagiarism in the legal sense.

As explained earlier, in theory, borrowing game ideas is not itself considered plagiarism.

In other words, as long as the game system does not overlap by more than 30%, it does not count.

But players don't care about that.

If the game is not fun, it is the original sin!

Whatever you call the hype, the advertisements are everywhere, if it's not fun, it's not fun.

There are some bright spots in these games, but more are still flawed.

After all, the overall creativity is not their thing, so there will be some things that are not thoughtful.

For example, it is clearly stated that after eating food, the blood volume will be restored only when the satiety level is full.

But some designers don't understand what they learn.

They slapped their heads: We want to be different from "Minecraft"!In our game, if you eat something, you can directly increase a few blood bars according to the food.

result……

Smart players have discovered that the "rotten flesh" dropped by zombies in this game can not only increase blood volume, but also reduce satiety because of the "nausea" debuff.

That is the blood bottle that can be eaten indefinitely!

Moreover, there is a lot of carrion, so much that one or two groups can be produced in one night.

In this way, the gameplay is basically completely gone.

Players only need to carry a few groups of rotten meat with them, and they can beat all bosses without any difficulty while taking "drugs".

This means that painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, that is imitating others, and that it is learning to walk in Handan.

After this bug passed, the game became cold immediately.

They are not Blue Star Studios, and there is no word-of-mouth follow-up game from the beginning. Once they lose the existing players, they will not be able to get up at all.

This incident also illustrates a problem: it is impossible to reach the height of Blue Star Studio by imitation alone.

Because even if you learn from the game, you can't learn the essence of Ming's design!

The games made by others not only have unrestrained creativity, but also are flawless in every aspect, and there is almost nothing that can be faulted.

It's almost as if he knew what the perfect version of the entire game would look like from the start!

He doesn't need to iterate the version again and again, discard the chaff and save the chaff, to push the game to its best state.

As soon as he hit the horse, it was a thunderous lore.

It is also because of this that players have such expectations and admiration for him.

[Blue Star produced, must be a boutique!With the presence of the leader in person, the world is invincible! 】

This is their slogan.

After this stimulation, the ranking of "Minecraft" returned to the top [-] list.

This is the third time!

The third time he rushed back out of nowhere, being a good front wave, he actually slapped the back wave to death on the beach!

It is very confusing.

What kind of man is the chief designer of Ming, and why does he always violate the laws of nature?

As of mid-March, "Minecraft" has produced nearly a thousand modules, all of which are made by players themselves.

The level of these mods varies, but after being screened and eliminated by the natural market, many real golds are left behind.

For example, a furniture MOD that provides benefits for construction parties, a quantum technology MOD that further develops the technology tree, a dragon MOD that focuses on adventure and role-playing...

Wait, wait, and so on.

Last week's best mod was a mod called "My World Is Too Simple", abbreviated as "MITE", which was made by the author whose ID is "Ling Ling Qi".

Although this module has a high number of votes, it is full of controversy.

Easy because it's so difficult!

So hard that most players won't even survive a few minutes before dying of starvation and losing everything.

Many players are therefore full of resentment towards it, and it has further sparked a relatively large debate on the forum.

That is: [Is my world really too simple? 】

Most of the current players think that the original "Minecraft" game is very simple.

As long as you know the monsters inside and the characteristics of the magma in advance, you will basically not be killed.

You only need to step up the technology step by step, put on a set of diamond enchanted armor, and you will be able to pass the level in no time.

The current record for the fastest customs clearance in the world has reached more than two minutes.

Generate seeds through the world to dig out diamonds and ender portals in the shortest time, then raise the diamond sword and kill the ender dragon with proficient combat skills.

The game clearance interface will pop up.

In addition to this kind of gameplay of the adventure party, the construction party may take longer to play.

But it is basically playing a construction simulator, so there is no difficulty.

The vast majority of players think that they have almost dug out the content of this game.

Even some high-end players have begun to dislike the game for being too simple. If you don't play more than a dozen mods that increase the difficulty, it will lose its challenge.

But at this time, Mingyan looked at the players and sighed.

"Oh, I'm very disappointed in them." Mingyan said, "It's been more than two years, what about the Redstone Party?"

Yes, what about the Redstone Party? !

Is it because the technology that interstellar people are usually exposed to is too high-end, but they have lost sensitivity to these most basic circuits?

The redstone circuit in "Minecraft" looks super simple, at most it can control the switch of the piston and the door.

But in fact, in addition to building, redstone can also provide unlimited gameplay.

Mingyan thought for a while, got up and walked outside to the office.

At this time, Lan Xing was still on vacation happily.

Because the League of Legends has just entered the review stage of League One, and the new version has been released, the designers are making final adjustments.

After Mingyan came out, everyone greeted him.

Mingyan walked to his seat and called two people over.

One programmer, one tester.

When the two came to the office, they were a little nervous.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to give you a task." Mingyan smiled, "I heard that you like to play "Minecraft" very much, and you are also very good at switching redstone circuits?"

The two nodded.

At this time, the Redstone Party was only a very small group of players.

The programmer from Bluestar is one of the big guys.

He used redstone and pistons to invent a simple automatic harvester - a circuit device that can automatically harvest wheat, pumpkins and watermelons by pulling it.

Mingyan handed the two drafts in front of the two of them, saying: "Here are some redstone ideas that I sorted out. I hope you put aside the work at hand this month and make a redstone tutorial to guide you. "Minecraft" redstone player."

There is also a part of this draft that is clearly written by hand.

The programmer opened it and looked at it, and suddenly stood up excitedly, and shouted: "Huacha, it's okay!"

The tester suddenly became embarrassed, and stretched out his hand to pull him back.

The programmer immediately reacted, and said embarrassingly: "Boss, your draft is too awesome. I have been thinking about how to convert the pulse signal into a sequential circuit...I didn't expect that the latch can be used like this."

Ming Yan said with a smile: "Actually, I added a latch function to the redstone comparator for this purpose at the beginning. How about it, do you have the confidence to make the device I want within this month?"

The programmer licked his lips and said confidently: "No problem at all! I can solve the difficulty in terms of engineering volume with a small plug-in. I already had three gates of NOR and NOR before, plus a latch. constitutes all the prerequisites."

Nod clearly.

The tester was even more calm. After flipping through the draft, he said, "Boss, can I choose this music by myself?"

Ming Yan said with a smile: "As long as you make Redstone music, you can decide for yourself the specific content."

The tester said coyly: "Boss, the song you hummed earlier, I asked you last time, you said it was called "Aesthetic"..."

Mingyan remembered this, and his expression froze.

Looking at each other in blank dismay.

Mingyan coughed and said, "I didn't write that..."

The tester had an expression of "I understand, I understand", and said: "Boss, you don't need to emphasize the confidentiality of things that are known inside the studio."

Mingyan: "...No, I really didn't write it."

Tester: "Yes, yes, don't worry, I won't say anything."

"..." Mingyan rested his forehead with one hand, "Forget it, whatever you want. Anyway, after you finally make it, remember to sign it with Sawano Hiroyuki."

The tester nodded knowingly.

……

March passed quickly.

Mingyan officially led the team into a retreat state.

The ALPHA model of "Blue Star Doom" will be completed within two months.

The entire game plan has two major parts, spanning three large maps and seventeen small maps, involving two main characters and more than ten secondary characters.

This time the ALPHA model is mainly to make the first large map, and the initial verification test will start immediately after completion.

After testing, they can enter the next round of formal development.

The official website of Blue Star Studios also released a new game trailer—although there is only a simple sentence "Project code name: Last".

Blue Star is no longer an unknown small workshop, thousands of fans are eagerly waiting for the new game.

It is clearly stated that it has its own traffic heat, which is not the envy of many game architects.

Players even formed a "sect" by themselves.

Mingyan's fans are such a group of hungry players.

During the boring waiting time, they even analyzed Mingyan's rules of appearance.

Mingyan always appears when there is major news about the game. His personal account doesn't speak much, but it often arouses heated discussions, even phenomenal ones.

These players are guessing right now:

[The leader hasn't spoken about games for a long time! 】

[The new game must have been designed and supervised by the leader, so it's gone!For a man as dedicated as he is, I, Zhao Ritian, will fucking blow it up today! 】

[I bet fifty cents, it's a sandbox game. 】

[I don't accept it!Can you guess the design idea of ​​the leader?Don't be naive!Definitely an unheard of new category! 】

In the midst of such high-profile expectations, Mingyan's personal account remained silent for another month.

Blue Star's official website is also slowly digesting the previous big moves.

This month has passed quite smoothly, and nothing unexpected happened.

Now everyone knows-

The chief designer of Ming must be leading the team to make a new game again!

Driven by the new news, many players can't wait.

I even regret it a bit: the new game is probably too early to even be tested!Why should I know the news so early?

Unable to play new games, they could only turn their attention to other well-known works of Blue Star.

For a while, Blue Star became bullish again.

Also affected by the opening of Bluestar's official website, several major games are slowly climbing the rankings, and even "Hachiko's Story" has made an appearance again.

In the live broadcast circle, there is a consensus in the industry——

Live broadcast of Bluestar's new game, it will be popular!

The emergence of new things is very regular, and there are always the top 5% of people who get the first bite, and they are called "speculators".

Back then, Zhou Liye was the first person who was taken away by "Minecraft".

The envious eyeballs of his colleagues almost turned red.

At that time, Chief Designer Ming was still a newcomer in the game circle, and he made a game that not many people outside of school knew about... But why was Zhou Liye so lucky to dig it out?

Anyone can see that whoever was the first to do the live broadcast of "Minecraft" at that time will be popular!

The difference is only the degree of fire and the method.

And after the speculators pass, there will be people who are very keen on the market, and immediately follow up and start to eat a second bite.

They account for about 15%, and they are generally "pioneers".

These people also quickly got a share of the pie.

After the pioneers, 60% of the people are later "followers".

They didn't meet the opportunity at first, or they didn't grasp it when they met.

When I saw the opportunity, I didn't take it right away, so I was left behind.

Only when they saw that others had benefited did they begin to beat their chests and feel annoyed.

Some people even said in hindsight: "I knew that Blue Star was going to be popular back then, but unfortunately I just didn't take the time to come, otherwise it wouldn't be Miss Juliet's turn to be the first brother in the live broadcast circle..."

In the end, there are 20% of people, they are the slowest group of people.

I usually don't care about the news in the circle, and I don't take the initiative to understand and learn.

Anyway, wait until the soup dregs are delivered to him, and then reluctantly lick the taste.

Then he sighed: "Wow, Blue Star's game is so fun! No wonder Juliet suddenly became popular back then."

There is a kind of happiness and simplicity that does not care about the world.
