Otherworldly Architect

Time continued to move to April, and the final version of "Galaxy" was almost finished.

Compared with the stand-alone mode, the online mode may take a little longer.

The online mode was discussed by Blue Star, and finally determined to be a player-hosted mode.

Traditionally, there are two types of online connection for this type of game, one is through the official server, and the other is through the player's computer as the host.

Both ways have their advantages and disadvantages, the former is more stable and safer, while the latter is more free.

Blue Star dared to use the latter mode, on the one hand, it had already accumulated a certain amount of experience, and on the other hand, "Galaxy" itself is a game that welcomes players to modify it.

For example, "Minecraft" has been going on for ten years now, and there are countless player modules, many of which can directly be regarded as a boutique mini-game.

The sandbox mode of "Galaxy" is also quite suitable for the creation of modules or custom maps.

As for the release date of "Galaxy", after discussions with the marketing team, it was confirmed on May 5st.

At this year's Blue Star Carnival, you can directly join the "Galaxy" venue.

After the official version is released, players can experience the custom levels made by the designers themselves...

For example, the Zerg has conquered the entire universe, and the player must start the script as a human government in exile.

No one in Blue Star has been able to pass that script perfectly.

The designers unanimously raised their hands and agreed to add this nightmare-level script to the official version, so that players can also experience the fear and humiliation of being dominated!

Ahem, of course, they will say to the outside world: This is a difficult script for environmental protection.

"Insect repellent" is of course also a part of environmental protection, let's compare our hearts to dear players:)

This year's carnival took Mingyan a little time to decorate.

At last year's A-League Awards Ceremony, it was stated that he met several bigwigs, one of whom worked in a theme park.

Although they originally aimed at Tulong Baodao Studio and wanted to sing against Blue Star Carnival, but they cooperated with Mingyan anyway, and the ending was not bad.

After thinking about it for a while, Mingyan asked Bluestar to draw up a bluestar theme park project, and then began secret preparations for bidding.

When the news reached over there.

"..."

"???"

"!!!"

The other party was puzzled at the beginning. The God of Wealth, who was obviously Tulong, agreed to go back and consider cooperation. Why did he come to Blue Star's post.

Later, when I saw the signature of the letter, I was shocked. I turned around and asked the secretary: "Did I read that right? Why is the name of the legal representative the same?"

"Boss, boss, it seems that they are really the same person, Mr. Ming..."

"Damn! This person is also the owner of Tulong Baodao Studio? Then how much money does he make a year?! The sixth star province is almost the richest man!!"

secretary:"……"

My boss is still very straight to the point.

Indeed, for business people outside the game industry, the biggest feature of the two studios, Blue Star and Tulong Baodao, is that they can make money——

No, it should be said, "Super Invincible will make money".

Today's Blue Star, the budget of each project is about one billion, and the final cost will not exceed too much.

Even if long-term costs such as employee bonuses and server maintenance costs are added, the cost of running a game for one year will not exceed 20 billion.

But check out these projects of theirs.

Not to mention the evergreen trees of "Minecraft", it has maintained a sales volume of tens of millions every year.

"Blue Star Doom 1" has just had a small increase in sales due to the stimulation of the sequel "Blue Star Doom 2". This series is considered to be the most well-known trademark of Blue Star.

The two masterpieces "Mortal Soul" and "Assassin's Way" are also listed in the Platinum Hall of the First League. Obviously, the data cannot be bad.

As for the two online games "League of Legends" and "Dragon Hunter"...

The policy benefits that the latter can bring have already made countless people drool;

The former is even more of a gold-swallowing monster. It is said that last year's turnover directly approached the [-] billion mark. The industrial chain behind it has supported hundreds of thousands of professionals, and the profit margin can make other game companies want to hang themselves.

If Bluestar is now a company that joins commercial operations and wants to go public, there must be countless capitals that have robbed him of his head.

Even if it is not, there are still countless bosses who want to hand over their business cards.

It's just that if Blue Star doesn't transform, it will still belong to Boss Ming's private assets.

This asset is much more valuable than any antique collection, any mineral planet, or any monetary fund, because it is still growing, and because it is still in charge of an ecosystem.

In today's Bluestar ecosystem, loyal players are all over Chaoyang League, and fanatical fans start with hundreds of millions of people. All players around the world may not know which is the best game of the year this year, but it is impossible not to have heard of it "Production of Blue Star, must be a high-quality product" in eight characters.

Bluestar's official website has become an important mouthpiece of the game industry, and it is a place to gather people's hearts.

Even Boss Ming's personal blog can be uploaded to Datian Listening every day.

Last month, Morning Star Incubation Park produced a small game called "Poetry and Wine Jianghu".

The game was produced on the basis of the background of "Xia Ke Xing". After a development cycle of one and a half years, it was finally launched, and it caught up with the schedule after the New Year's Eve.

Unfortunately, the frenzy of "Blue Star Doom 2" has not yet passed, and this small game came out quite silently.

The marketing of Morningstar Incubation Park is naturally conscientious, but those players really don't have time to play other games.

As a result, at the end of the month, the crying army of "嘿嘿嘤" and "吹咕吹" caused by "Blue Star Doom 2" calmed down a little, and Chief Master Ming posted a blog.

[Tiny work: "Poetry and Wine Jianghu" newly released by the young people of Morning Star is a good game, I recommend trying it. (Attachment: Mingyan's screenshot of the game in "Poetry and Wine Jianghu")]

Because in the screenshot, Mingyan's account and server were captured.

That night, the traffic on the corresponding server exploded.

In the past, only "popular" servers were displayed, but suddenly they were pushed to the point of "full".

During the peak period after [-]:[-] p.m., the number of queues suddenly reached more than [-].

——This is a terrifying figure that even the most popular online games on the market may not be able to achieve!

This means that some players clearly looked at the "estimated waiting time: 2 hours", but did not give up easily, and still wanted to go in and have a look.

According to statistics the next day, the number of new registered users of "Poetry and Wine Jianghu" the day before was the highest ever, even about 400% higher than the first day of release.

It's all to blame Master Ming for never easily posting on his blog, and he didn't even know that a compliment he gave to other games could trigger such a scary traffic effect.

Also because of his words, this little game has attracted the attention of people in the industry.

When "Poetry and Wine Jianghu" came out, few media paid attention to it, and only a few websites gave evaluations. The score was around 8 points, which is quite good for an independently produced small game.

But after that day, several major websites suddenly included this game in their "Boutique Production" division.

GamingStudio, a well-known blue star licking dog, happily gave its own evaluation: 9.0 points, the evaluation is "unique creativity".

A small game that was originally mediocre and barely able to pay back, suddenly exploded due to the support of large traffic, making the producer a lot of money.

This kind of news is normal in the game industry.

But it has never been like this, because of one person's blog, it triggered a chain reaction like an avalanche.

VRGamer couldn't resist sending a report, saying that Blue Star's chief designer is "Game Master" - this title not only praises his strength in design, but also implies his influence on other games.

As a result, until May, Mingyan's back office and mailbox were still flooded with self-recommendation letters.

Some independent game producers want to replicate the success of "Poetry and Wine Jianghu" and ask Mingyan to try their games;

Some are invitations from marketing companies or the media, wanting to borrow the traffic effect that comes with Mingyan;

Some companies were even more direct, and sent a price list—to the effect that they were willing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a 140-character blog post.

Of course, Mingyan ignored these people.

Because the purpose of his earliest blog was never to attract traffic, or it was purely irrelevant to profit.

He just played "Poetry and Wine Jianghu" for a while, and thought it was quite fun, so he just recommended it to his players.

Mingyan is still busy with the Blue Star Carnival at the moment.

The carnival is becoming more and more crowded every year, and the number of venues has rapidly expanded to 12. It takes players about three days to fully experience it.

Moreover, the number of players who can participate has always been relatively fixed and cannot continue to expand.

In order to solve this problem, Blue Star Studio decided to invite bids——

Form a theme park belonging to Blue Star, which is called "Blue Star Paradise".

This theme park will be built on the basis of the Blue Star Carnival, including the long-term venues of each game, while also taking into account the subsequent addition of new games.

For example, a special game like "Dragon Hunter" needs to add a battle zone, so that players can summon their own dragons to compete in a suitable theme atmosphere.

Another example is "Assassin's Way", a game with great parkour features, allows the prop master to directly build a medieval background, allowing players to play in it, providing a safe parkour environment.

……

Mingyan reads the planning book while making plans.

Then he stopped suddenly.

——Hey, "Blue Star Doom 2" has been released, so can "Assassin's Way 2" be put on the agenda?
