Otherworldly Architect

Players, they are really eaten to death by Mingyan...

All the designers of Blue Star Studio who have attended the player meeting have such a feeling.

Just before the start of the Blue Star Carnival, the director jokingly posted a blog, saying: [We don't need to design the appearance ceremony of Master Ming, the players will consciously support the scene.We also don’t need to consider Mr. Ming’s question-and-answer sessions and lines, because every sentence of his is a golden rule, and players will consciously turn them into “stalks”. 】

Well, Xia Cheng testified... This is absolutely correct.

At least at the Blue Star player meeting, Mingyan is like His Majesty the Emperor of this territory, and everyone will only pay respects to what he says.

The only small request the subjects have of him is——

"A new game!!!"

"When will the Knight's Walk start!"

"What games will there be after the hero is on the line??"

Urge more.

Blue Star's annual large-scale reminder site.

Of course, the host understood very well, so he took the microphone and asked, "Excuse me, Master Ming, does Blue Star have any other game production plans besides Knights?"

Mingyan thought for a while, and said: "Well, you all know that I haven't had any job opportunities in the past two months, so I have been retreating for design. If the game on the plan is included, in fact, the next Blue Star There is still a lot of work to do..."

"Well, I have a lot of inspiration, but I don't have time to do it."

After he finished speaking, he fell into memory by himself.

Really, there are too many inspirations, and I still don’t know which one to implement first!

But at this time, the players in the audience have already started to go crazy.

Their noisy voices failed to unify for the first time, chattering, and it was almost impossible to hear what everyone was saying.

Only those with particularly loud voices can make their voice stand out:

"Twenty games a year!!!"

"Devil! What have you been through these two months???"

"Do it! Do it to death!"

"We'll buy it to death!"

……

You know, these players worry about not having new games to play on a daily basis.

Blue Star Studio has worked hard for a year on the game, and players generally only need a few days to pass the level—that is, "League of Legends" can last a little longer.

Doing the math, twenty games a year are really not enough for them to play.

They are hungry and thirsty every day, waiting for food, hoping that Blue Star will release new games as soon as possible.

And at this time, Mingyan actually said "I have a lot of inspiration, but I don't have time to do it"? ? ?

It's like showing off the mountains of gold and silver in front of a beggar, it's a heinous crime!

In the second half of the player meeting, all the players climaxed due to strong stimulation.

No matter what you say clearly, you will definitely be urged to update in the end, and you will definitely be urged to update.

He pretty much fled, leaving the hungry wolves to the other designers to deal with.

After stepping down, Mingyan dug out his notebook to confirm.

Really, he has a lot of inspiration, but too late to do it.

For example, what is the game of traveling around the world, what is the game of catching and taming dragons, what is the collection and dressing game...

Hurry up and wait until "Xia Ke Xing" comes out in September, and then you can free up your hands to realize these inspirations.

……

This year's Blue Star Carnival came to a successful conclusion again amidst laughter.

Everyone in Blue Star Studio quickly calmed down and continued the production of "Xia Ke Xing".

In June, the development phase has almost been completed, and the rest is the processing and polishing of details, as well as external publicity and promotion...

Well, maybe the studio doesn't need a lot of hype anymore.

It's already this time, who in the world doesn't know that Blue Star Studio is going to release a new game?

Mingyan finally had some free time at this time.

Don't think about it, he didn't have time to go out on a date, he went to Tulong Baodao studio to work overtime when he was free...

During the two months of his disappearance last year, it was not only the Blue Star Studio that was affected, but the Tulong Baodao Studio had always been leaderless.

Fortunately, the Dragon Tuning Sword is relatively independent and does not depend on the design draft of Master Ming.

This year's New Year's Eve, although Tulong Baodao Studio did not launch a new game developed by itself, it also updated a series of new versions of "Idle Heroes" and other games.

——In fact, these versions have been produced very early, and we just wait for a suitable time to release them.

The players naturally haven't noticed the difference.

However, the deputy general manager of Tulong Baodao complained endlessly, complaining to Mingyan: "We haven't released a new game for a long time, and the studio's influence will start to decline if this continues, the main products are already saturated. , urgently need a new flagship product to expand our potential market.”

——That's right, for Tulong Baodao, if the income does not increase spirally, it is equivalent to regressing!

Mingyan immediately flipped through his notebook and said, "I have a concept of a collection and dress-up game that hasn't been scheduled yet. Please inform the marketing department to see the current market situation for female players."

As soon as the deputy chief engineer heard it, he immediately became excited, patted his chest and said, "Is there a market for female gamers? No problem, I guarantee that the report will be released this week!"

Mingyan thought for a while, and added: "By the way, you can investigate the women's clothing trend of the season."

The deputy chief teacher was shocked when he heard it: "Ah, women's clothing?! Who?! Is it a maid outfit, a sailor suit, or a cosplay?"

"..." Ming Yan said, "No one is the protagonist of the new game."

The deputy chief teacher Xiao Jipeimi nodded: "Yeah, okay, no problem, let the artist draw him cute!"

——“He”, a masculine personal pronoun.

Mingyan corrected: "It's the heroine." What's going on with you interstellar people?When you mention "women's clothing", the first reaction is boys? ?

At this time, the deputy chief finally came to his senses and said, "Oh."

Mingyan: "..." What's with your disappointed look! ! !

In short, the new game of Dragon Slaying Sword is also scheduled.

Now that he has returned to Tulong Baodao studio, Mingyan has been sitting in the office all day, reviewing the documents that he has left behind for many days.

By the way, he saw Yu Bing's application for advanced studies.

Yu Bing is the college student who was invited by Mingyan to co-produce "Idle Heroes" in the star show competition.

After his internship in Tulong Baodao passed, he was deeply touched and decided to apply for a master's degree.

Moreover, he signed three parties in advance, and Tulongbaodao will sponsor him to study, but he will return to Tulongbaodao studio to work after graduation-this time, as a regular employee, as a game architect.

After Mingyan read it, he did not forget to send an email to Yu Bing even in his busy schedule.

It is not only to congratulate him for being admitted to a famous university, but also to encourage him to continue to work hard...

Most of the young people who can enter the game industry come here with dreams. No matter what their future prospects are, at least they clearly feel that as a senior, they have the obligation to tell them:

[Dreams are real, roads exist, and singing and walking, don't forget the original intention! 】

In addition to Yu Bing's application, there is another thing that also attracted Mingyan's attention.

That was an email from a game professor at the Royal Academy. He applied to Tulong Baodao Studio in a sincere tone, and wanted to write part of the game's design ideas and manuscripts into his textbook.

The signature of the email was obviously Hester Lee.

He used to be one of the instructors of Mingyan's graduation defense!

Mingyan: "Huh???"

Mingyan called his assistant, and it took him a while to figure out the cause and effect.

It turned out to be his "Iwannagohome" series of manuscripts, which somehow got out and led a wave of industry trends.

Later, this little game became popular in the online live broadcast circle, attracting the attention of a large number of players from another level-they didn't really want to play this game, but they really liked watching other people play this game.

Such a novel game mode is unheard of and unseen by many people in the industry.

Moreover, Mingyan later released the authorization of the entire series to the public, which immediately earned the favorability of many people, and at the same time turned "Iwanna" into an entire game circle.

Today, "Iwanna" has become recognized as a side-scrolling game label.

A large number of developers have developed a series of small games with the public authorization of Tulong Baodao Studio, turning it into a big IP that is well-known to everyone.

Professor Hester Li, who majored in game design, is devoted to the study of various phenomena and anecdotes in the game circle. He even wrote a small paper on the profit model of Tulong Baodao Studio.

This time, he wants to write the wonderful mode of "Iwanna", which combines the game and live broadcast, into his latest textbook.

To this end, he did ample background checks, and also found a copy of the manuscript of the chief designer of Tulong, "Ghost".

Of course, unlike those businessmen who are chasing fame and fortune, he still needs to seek the consent of Mr. Ghost Talent.

It's just that he doesn't know that this "ghost" is actually Mingyan, who can be said to be his former student...

Who would have thought?

The student who made the highly controversial graduation project has now become an industry benchmark—and, unfortunately, two benchmarks.

Mingyan struggled with looking at the email for a while, and decided to agree to Mr. Hurst's request.

Anyway, it’s not the first time that his design case has been included in a book. Many people use him as a teaching case—who made those games so successful?

As for the compilation of the manuscript, it must be explicitly authorized... Oh no, it is the authorization of the "ghost".

In order to reply to Mr. Hurst, Mingyan had no choice but to take out his account that had accumulated dust and was almost never used.
