Otherworldly Architect

After "Hunter World" was launched, Blue Star Studio didn't just relax as usual, or even take a vacation.

Because they are already making the first expansion piece of "Hunter World" non-stop.

In fact, the first expansion piece of Hunter World is called "Change". As early as when this work was still in the design stage, "Change" had a corresponding design draft.

The world of this work is relatively original, and all kinds of environments and monsters still seem to follow the laws of physical and biological evolution, which is quite close to reality.

For example, the fire-breathing function of the volcanic dragon does not add any magical means, but directly adds two things called "basal stomach" to it, allowing it to produce complex chemical reactions in this organ, and finally spew out flames Come - it can be said to be very scientific.

In the "variation", some "unscientific" brain holes of the designer were incorporated.

This piece of expansion can be just as the name suggests, it is about a small area of ​​the hunter world that has encountered unknown radiation, and a large number of monsters on it have mutated.

Mutant monsters may undergo special changes in size, appearance, abilities, etc. For example, the alienated volcanic dragon may suddenly change its attributes and become a frost-breathing one.

Of course, spitting flames can explain it, spitting acid is also easy to understand, and spitting frost can barely be rounded back by biochemistry...

But there is a monster with the ability of "flash", which has no solution, and can only be understood as a supernatural ability.

Because of this, these mutant monsters were eventually assigned to the first expansion pack, instead of being released directly with this work.

At this time, Blue Star is still relatively leisurely. The new game has just been released, and the production of the first expansion pack is not in a hurry at all.

The second team has just jumped into the farming game. The designers are still experiencing various farming games on the market, and the formal design work has not yet fully started.

As for Mingyan himself, more work is done by Tulong Baodao Studio.

Since the release of "Love in Time and Space", this new game has once again entered the right track of dragon slaying.

——Their right track, that is to say, after a game starts to make money normally, the studio itself will no longer generate new designs or game experiences, but will continue to add new content to the existing system.

For example, let's talk about "Yunxiang Clothes", the current update mode is relatively fixed, and it is enough to update a batch of new clothes during fixed periods and legal holidays.

As for this batch of new productions, the sponsors had negotiated early on, and the corresponding outsourcing team began to produce... Tulong Baodao Studio will only be responsible for acceptance, and there is not much workload.

After the update, wait for a new round of profit peak, count the money and it's over.

The so-called "laying down and making money" may be this feeling.

During the past few months, Tulong Baodao Studio is planning a new game.

This is also the first game since Mr. Ming lost his horse. At that time, the designers of the two studios were in a meeting together, laughing and voting together to approve the game theme.

"Boss!! We want to make 'games that make games'!"

Very early on, there was such a "game for making games" in Mingyan's manuscript, but there was no schedule for it.

This time he lost his vest, just as many players on the forum had question marks all over their heads: [Is this genius ghost the same person?Are you really a genius? ? ! ! 】

[Where did the leader get so much energy, my God! ! !I'm so busy with just one job that I'm going crazy, but he can manage two such big studios! 】

[I'm curious how many hours Master Ming can sleep a day...]

Players' comments, in fact, many employees in the two studios are particularly fond of brushing, and they also like to absorb feedback from the forums to improve the game.

This time the designers couldn't help it:

"Knowing that the designers are so busy, they still urge updates every day! A little reminder button is great! Let them make the game this time, and we will install a reminder button for their 'players'!"

"Hmph, arrange the small black room! Let them experience the fear of being locked up in the small black room!"

"When the game is released, I will randomly post some comments. I don't remember a few good reviews, but the bad reviews are vivid in my memory!! You must remember to be a sunspot, a troll, every game interview has the kind of brainless bad reviews !!"

Mingyan: "...puchi."

Good designer, why do you want to hurt each other with players every day?

The resentment of the designers had already become substantial, and the people in the next few groups couldn't help it anymore.

Varian from the art group: "Arrange everything! What's a 'round and square hat'! What's a 'colorful black'! What's a 'red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and white'!"

A colleague in the UI group was eating snacks, and hurriedly added: "There is also 'the logo is enlarged while shrinking'! Let them make a dialog box that is said to be 'larger overall but smaller in size'! "

Everyone laughed out loud, and the office was filled with a happy atmosphere.

The two bosses of the program team looked indifferent: "Remember to arrange the bugs as well."

"Daily update list: 12 bugs removed, but 21 new bugs added."

"Fix bug one, bug two and three pop up. Press bug three, and bug four and five pop up. To fix bug five, choose a new framework, and then bug one appears again Number and number two..."

"Let them laugh at our server every day? Give them a try to build a distributed server, and Hadoop!"

"We also need to arrange a hacker team for them, trying to hack into the server to get equipment every day, and lock the company's data to blackmail—oh, don't forget, there are also those who stare at the data packet loopholes all day and want to cheat!"

"Hehehe, keep them awake at night!"

This is definitely a design event where the entire staff of the two studios participated.

Mingyan's expression was horrible, and he finally understood why many players said that his designers were a bunch of devils...

All of them don't want to hurt each other with the players, they just want to die together directly!

In short, the new project of Tulong Baodao directly has a name, it is called "Game Maker".

Moreover, this project has attracted a lot of attention on both sides. The designers of Blue Star have completely stopped treating themselves as outsiders, and like to run to the villa on Tulong's side every day...

Mingyan can often see Kevin's sinister smile on the face of the big villain boss, muttering to himself:

"Jie jie jie jie, I'm going to submit another design document today... Add overtime to "Game Maker"!! Add a policy of 'temporary overtime for 12 hours'!"

Clearly: Stop it!Blue Star has never worked overtime for 12 hours! !You are so cruel...

Seems to be okay?

Anyway, it is only the NPCs in the game who work overtime.

Hmm... Maybe there are also the chief designers who follow the "overtime"—players.

Thinking of this, Mingyan couldn't help showing a knowing smile :)

I always feel that everyone has a new way to vent their grievances.

He even stated that he was having dinner with Xia Cheng.

Xia Xiaocheng also started his design: "Remember to arrange a love route for the chief designer of the game. It is the kind that only appears once every ten days and a half months. Maybe the sense of existence is not as high as that of a certain big anchor. Once you start Working overtime, dating is ruined, and love life is like a high school student with a curfew."

Ming Yan whispered: "...it shouldn't be that exaggerated."

Xia Cheng said bitterly: "At the beginning, it was so excessive..."

Mingyan: "Later?"

Xia Cheng: "Then we tested the game together, didn't we? After so many tests, I found that the game is really fun..."

Mingyan: "Then now?"

"Don't ask." Xia Cheng said, "Ask is really fragrant."

The two smiled at the same time, Xia Cheng said: "How are you preparing for the rumor of the way of the assassin? I heard that you can establish your own guild. I have even prepared the 'start-up funds' here."

Thinking of Xia Cheng's "more than 20 million", he said he couldn't laugh or cry, and hurriedly said: "Don't, it's not the type of "Iron Horse Glacier", not Krypton."

Xia Cheng understood: "That's really annoying."

"..." Mingyan had no way to refute.

The rumor of the Assassin's Way has now been handed over to Zhuo Yu.

Well, Mr. Zhuo said, "I'm already disheartened, and I just made a new game if I promised to do it casually", while gearing up to pull up my new team.

Blue Star transferred several technical backbones and senior designers to him.

At the same time, he himself has discovered a lot of potential talents through the experience of being a "sweeping monk" in the Morning Star Incubation Park in the past few months.

The newcomers originally followed the famous Master Zhuo, and they are ready to start over - this is all out of trust in the talented designer.

It's like saying that with Mingyan's current name, even if he doesn't have the two major studios of Blue Star and Tulong Baodao, as long as he stands on the street, even if he has nothing left, he only needs to say "I have a new one." "Project", there will be countless investments rushed to his face, and one or two will lose their smiles, for fear that he will not accept the funds.

Take Xia Xiaocheng's joke as an example, if you go back to ten years ago, if you didn't want to start a business when you were poor and white -

If the IPP family of a large multinational company can bring back the precious lump of Chief Master Ming, they are willing to invest one billion yuan in his "new project" unconditionally, and they will definitely not set up any supervisory positions higher than his rank.

In addition, the annual salary will not be mentioned, and hundreds of millions of "freely allocated funds" will be given every year. "Freedom" means that Master Ming can use it to develop games, buy a car or a house for himself, buy a dog or a cat for the office... as long as he is happy!

Later, when the newcomers first heard that this mysterious new project turned out to be "a rumor of the Assassin's Way", many people almost fell off their chairs in fright.

Not to mention the opening report of the project, which was personally attended by Mingyan.

Although it is clearly stated that he is still dressed casually, even pulling on his slippers, chatting and laughing with Zhuo Yu while drinking afternoon tea...

But the nervous newcomers were at a loss and did not dare to go up to talk to the two bosses. Some even threw black tea bags into the coffee.

Seeing the express words of this group of newcomers, it didn't make them more nervous, just a few words of encouragement.

He always sees himself who just started his business from the figures of these young men.

Varian, Ling Xiaoman, Schrödinger, Horace, Kevin... so many people, didn't they all come from such a youthful appearance?

How time flies.

The young lads have all turned into devils...

Ming Yan took a sip of coffee and thought: Well, it must not be my fault.
