Otherworldly Architect

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

Champions of the League One! Only one super strongman is decided among millions of professional players.

He is also very legendary. Among all PVP games, he has never lost a single small game.

(BO3 is also a best-of-three game, and each game is called a "small field".)

Odin is also a recognized "tactician master" in the e-sports circle.

As long as he is in the game, there is basically a tactical operation, and I have never seen this person make any decision-making mistakes.

The other players were all playing games, and it seemed like he was the only one who could really command the army.

His understanding of combat and warfare has reached a non-human level.

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

His personal fans are eager to see, basically only during the New Year's holiday to see his news.

At this moment, I saw him showing a chin in the video, and it was like crying with joy.

【Lick lick lick lick! 】

[Ah, my prosperous and beautiful demon king finally appeared! 】

[Following the three apprentices just to wait for the master to appear, am I the only one? 】

[Is the Great Demon King also playing League of Legends! ! 】

The comments of this message skyrocketed in an instant, and Ming Yan was also taken aback.

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

Darling, the alliance has a total population of 300 billion, and more than 100 billion players, of which more than 60 billion people have paid attention to him.

What kind of appeal is this, I'm afraid it's not an open-type cash charge?

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

Wang Xiaowu, his youngest apprentice, often laughs at himself as an "idiot who can't teach". The teacher might as well teach a piece of "Char Siu", so he has the small ID "Char Siu No. 3".

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 life for other professional players?

[Char Siew No. 3: The teacher doesn't seem to play, but he gave us homework. This game helps to understand tactics, so all three of us are playing. @ Honey grapefruit: The big devil is also playing the League of Legends! ! 】

Once the final word is finalized, the coffin is finalized!

The champions of the League A National Championship are all endorsing the League of Legends.

That is the man who is recognized as the most strategic man in the e-sports circle. Most game designers and analysts can't compare his understanding, let alone the rabble on the Internet?

The homework that Odin assigned to his three apprentices in the national competition turned out to be playing League of Legends.

Is there any room for rebuttal? This game is strong.

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

It hurts so much that it makes people completely incapable of resisting.

At first they said that the League of Legends could not enter the League A, but as a result, Ning Yufeng fell from the sky—

The chairman of the League A, recommended the League of Legends!

Then they wanted to say that the League of Legends was not strategic, and as a result, Wang Xiaowu flew in—

Forget Wang Xiaowu!

The point is Odin, the great devil behind him, who used this game to teach his disciples!

Like these big guys at the top of the industry, there is no need to play virtual at all.

They do things very aboveboard, saying that this game is good, that is the real idea.

Even the great president of the Chaoyang Alliance would not have the ability to ask them to endorse someone.

can only say…

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

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

【Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah The leader has released a super invincible universe's first awesome game, and I want to watch the live broadcast of the big devil! I beg! 】

[Book of blood of ten thousand people, seeking cooperation +1]

However, the work schedule of Ming Yan recently 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 during the summer vacation.

She will directly join the project code-named Last (the game name "Blue Star Doom"), participating in a two-month early development.

Ming said that he will also enter an intense preparation stage.

…

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

She reported something about a mod in Minecraft.

Last month, the two flagship modules of "Minecraft", "Middle Ages Technology" and "Apocalypse Era", were launched, which quickly brought a new year to this old game.

The community that players have poured into has also 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 trendy thing in the interstellar age.

When "Minecraft" 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 install and uninstall at their own discretion, but the expansion of game content is a real existence.

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

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

It goes up every time Bluestar Studios releases an update.

But now it's even more powerful, even players can make their own mods, and it can also increase.

What does it mean?

For example, other people in the Jianghu are still wielding their swords a thousand times a day to cultivate, but Blue Star Studio - it entrusts the cultivation to its fans!

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

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

Lying in bed can still build up internal strength out of thin air, how can you not make people envious, jealous and hate.

At the very least, the subsequent opponents have all died down.

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

Initially, their rankings weren't great, but that's to be expected.

No way, the body of "Minecraft", which founded the school, is still alive and well. It is really a blessing like Donghai and Shoubi Nanshan.

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

Periodically, the popularity of Minecraft drops slightly.

These opponents began to fight in the arena one after another. Behind them stood the assessment of cruise capital, and they dared not relax their pace of catching up.

After a large amount of advertising investment, it does pay off quickly in a short period of time.

However, players can enter the game because of advertisements, but they may not always stay in the game.

All these players have been "spoiled" by "Minecraft"!

[It's not as fun as "Minecraft", there are strange things that come out. These monsters have no features at all, and they passed by inexplicably with the diamond sword. 】

Listen, a new batch of creatures have been relegated to nothing.

[The same is a pile of blocks, why is your operation so awkward? I might as well do it in Minecraft! Bad review, uninstall! Minecraft, redownload, start! 】

Isn't it inevitable that different games have subtle differences in the operation feel?

I love minecraft so much, why are you uninstalling it!

There is also this statement:

[Spicy chicken game, plagiarize my world, and it doesn't look like it at all! 】

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

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

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

No matter what you say, there are advertising shops everywhere, and it's not fun if it's not fun.

Many of these games have bright spots, but many more have flaws.

After all, the overall idea is not their thing, so there will be some inconsiderate places.

For example, it is clearly set that after eating food, the fullness of the satiety must be reached before the blood volume can be restored.

But there are some designers who don't know how to learn.

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

result…

Smart players have discovered that the "carrion" 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, a lot, and one or two groups can be played in one night.

As a result, the gameplay is basically completely gone.

Players only need to carry a few groups of rotten flesh with them, and they can beat all the bosses with "medicine" without any difficulty.

This is that painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, that is, Dong Shi Xiao frowns, and that is Handan learning to walk.

After this bug, the game went cold.

They are not Bluestar Studios, and they didn't have word-of-mouth follow-up games from the beginning. Once they lose their existing players, they can't get up at all.

This incident also shows a problem: it is impossible to reach the height of Bluestar Studio by imitation alone.

Because even if you study according to the game, you can't learn the design essence of the chief designer of Ming!

The games made by others are not only imaginative and creative, but also flawless in every aspect, and there is almost nothing that can be wrong.

It's almost as if he knew from the beginning what a perfect version of the whole game would look like!

He doesn't need to iterate over and over again to push the game to its best state.

As soon as he came out, he was a thunderous lore.

It is precisely because of this that players have such expectations and worship for him.

[Products by Blue Star, must be a fine product! The leader is here, the world is invincible! 】

This is their slogan.

After this stimulation, the ranking of "Minecraft" returned to the top 30 of the list again.

This is the third time!

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

Makes people wonder.

What kind of man is the chief designer of Ming, 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 quality of these mods varies, but after being screened and eliminated by the natural market, a lot of real gold remains.

For example, furniture mods that provide benefits for the construction party, quantum technology mods that further develop the technology tree, dragon mods that focus on adventure and role-playing…

Wait, wait, and so on.

Last week's best mod was a mod called "Minecraft is too simple", abbreviated as "MITE", made by the author with the ID "Ling Ling Qi".

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

It's easy because it's so hard!

It's so hard that most players don't even survive a few minutes before dying of starvation and then losing everything.

Many players are full of resentment about it, and it has further caused a relatively large debate on the forum.

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

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

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

You only need to climb the technology step by step, put on a set of diamond enchanted armor, and you will be able to clear the level soon.

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

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

The game clearance interface will pop up.

In addition to the adventure party's gameplay, the construction party may take longer to play.

But basically I'm playing a construction simulator, so it's even less difficult.

The vast majority of players think that they have already mined the content of this game almost.

Even some high-end players have begun to dislike this game being too simple. If they don't play more than a dozen modules that increase the difficulty, they have lost the challenge.

But at this time, Ming Yan looked at the players and sighed.

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

Yeah, what about the Redstone Party? !

Is it because the technology that the interstellar people usually come into contact with is too high-end, but they have lost their sensitivity to these most basic circuits?

The redstone circuit in Minecraft looks super simple, at most it can control the opening and closing of pistons and doors.

But in fact, in addition to buildings, redstone can also provide infinite gameplay.

Ming Yan thought for a while, then got up and walked to the outside office.

At this time, Blue Star was still on vacation.

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

After Ming Yan came out, everyone greeted him.

Ming Yan walked to the seat and called two people.

A programmer, a tester.

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

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

The two nodded.

At this time, the Redstone Party was only a very small circle in the player group.

The programmer of Blue Star is one of the big guys.

Through redstone and pistons, he invented a simple automatic harvester - a circuit device that can automatically harvest wheat, pumpkin and watermelon by pulling it.

Mingyan handed the two drafts to the two of them and said, "Here are some redstone ideas I have sorted out. I hope you will put your work at hand this month and make a redstone tutorial to guide you. Minecraft Redstone players."

Part of this draft is clearly handwritten.

The programmer opened it and looked at it, suddenly stood up excitedly, and shouted: "Hua Zha, you can still do this!"

The tester's expression suddenly became embarrassed, and he reached out and pulled him back.

The programmer reacted immediately, and said sternly: "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 a latch to be used in this way."

Ming Yan smiled and said, "Actually, it was for this purpose in the beginning that I added a latch function to the redstone comparator. 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 have three NAND gates before, plus a latch, already All the prerequisites are formed."

Clearly nodded.

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

Ming Yan smiled and said, "As long as you make redstone music, you can decide for yourself the specific content."

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

Ming Yan remembered this, and his expression was stagnant.

Looking at each other.

Ming Yan coughed and said, "That's not what I wrote..."

The tester said with an expression of "I understand, I understand", "Boss, you don't need to emphasize the confidentiality of things you know in the studio."

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

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

"..." Ming Yan put his hand on his forehead, "Forget it, whatever. Anyway, after you finally make it, remember to sign it as Sawano Hiroyuki."

The tester nodded knowingly.

…

March passed quickly.

Mingyan officially led the team into a closed state.

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

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

This time, the ALPHA model mainly produced the first large map, and the initial verification test was started immediately after completion.

After testing, they can move on to the next round of formal development.

The official website of Blue Star Studio also released a preview of the new game-although there is only a simple "project code: Last".

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

Mingyan has its own traffic popularity, which many game architects cannot envy.

Players even formed a "cult" of their own.

Ming Yan's fans are what a group of hungry players.

During the boring waiting time, they even analyzed Ming Yan's appearance rules.

Mingyan always appears when there is major news in the game. His personal account doesn't speak much, but it can often cause heated discussions or even phenomenal popularity.

These players are now guessing:

[The leader hasn't come out to talk about the game for a long time! 】

[The new game must be designed and supervised by the leader of the whole process, and it didn't run! For such a dedicated man like him, I, Zhao Ritian, blew it up today! 】

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

【I'm not convinced! Can you guess the design idea of ​​the leader? Don't be naive! It's definitely a new category unheard of! 】

Amid such much-anticipated expectations, Ming Yan's personal account was silent for another month.

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

This month has gone by quite smoothly, and nothing unexpected has happened.

Now, everyone knows—

The chief designer of Ming is definitely leading the team to make a new game!

Driven by the new news, many players are a little impatient.

Even a little regret: the new game is estimated to be too early to even test! Why should I know the news so early?

They couldn't play the new game, so they could only turn their attention to other well-known works of Blue Star.

For a time, the popularity of Blue Star turned 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 appeared again.

In the live broadcast circle, all the industry has a consensus -

Live Blue Star's new game, it will be popular!

The emergence of new things is very regular, there is always the first 5% of people eat meat, they are called "speculators."

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

The envious eyes of his colleagues were almost red.

At that time, the chief designer of Ming was still a newcomer in the game circle, and he made a game that not many people outside the school knew about... But why was Zhou Liye dug out with such good luck?

Everyone can see that at that time, whoever made the live broadcast of "Minecraft" was the first to be popular!

The only difference is 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 eating the second bite of meat.

They account for about 15%, and they are the general existence of "pioneers".

These people also quickly got a piece of the pie.

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

They did not encounter the opportunity at first, or did not grasp it when they did.

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

When they saw that others had benefited, they began to beat their chests and feel annoyed.

Some people will also say after a while: "I knew that Blue Star was going to be popular back then, but unfortunately I didn't make time to come, otherwise Miss Juliet would never be the first brother in the live broadcast circle..."

Finally, 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 **** is 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 ask about the world.
