Otherworldly Architect

Mingyan found Zhuo Yu on the rooftop.

Zhuo Yu was leaning against the railing and smoking.

It can be seen that he carefully cleaned himself up before he went out to travel. He didn't have the tired look he saw at the League A ceremony last year.

Although he said he was unemployed.

The new game "Passenger" released by the other team this year is also very interesting. Although it is not large in size, it has a very deep meaning.

Ming Yan had played with Xia Cheng during the holiday before, but he felt that this game was very different.

"Passenger" is an adventure game with an interstellar background... but it does not contain any action or combat elements, but only provides a very pure "star roaming" experience.

After playing for a while, the two agreed: this game is more suitable for one person to play, and it does not need two people together.

It's not a problem with game design, but this game requires a person to experience it quietly in order to get more in-depth thinking.

Every player in "Passenger" is a space fish, a creature that can swim freely in space.

The little fish was born inside a dead star, and after being born from it, it began to search alone in the universe—

Look for a green Gaia-class planet.

The content of the game is so simple, not even a single word appears.

All the player can do is to control the small fish to fly to the next star system, quietly watching the many planets revolving, and the stars in the sky twinkling quietly.

The picture is beautiful to the extreme, the music is peaceful to the extreme, and people's hearts also feel peaceful.

"Passenger" has five levels, each with the ultimate goal of finding a suitable planet.

Players can fly freely in space, but often need to rest to recover their stamina.

However, you may encounter other small fish along the way - other players, and the two small fish can touch each other's bodies to recover their stamina.

If the direction is the same, the two small fish may travel together for a while, but eventually they will separate and fly to their own destination.

During this period, there was no communication or exchange, no words and no language. It was like two straight lines that intersected, and at a certain point, they were separated by a single touch, and finally parted ways peacefully.

Ming Yan can feel that a game like this must be made by a designer with a peaceful and strong heart.

It's just that in addition to calm, there seems to be some exhaustion and vicissitudes of seeing through fate.

Thinking of Zhuo Yu's experiences over the years, Mingyan seems to be able to understand him.

Designers work hard for one after another, and after reaching the end through a long journey, they have to take steps towards the next paradise.

No rest, no companionship.

Those passers-by are just temporary companions. They may be able to help each other, but they will eventually leave themselves——

Because the paradise in their hearts is in different directions after all.

In the evaluation of "Passenger", an editor wrote: [Read as "Passenger", write "Life". 】

Only those who have similar experiences can realize the sense of loneliness.

But this game, with its excellent production, is enough to conquer most players - this is the combination of Zhuo Yu's experience and hard work.

Mingyan asked him, "After you resign, are you still going to continue playing games?"

Zhuo Yu put out the cigarette on the railing, and said confusedly, "I don't know, I didn't think about it. I wanted to change industry for two years, but I felt too tired after resigning, so I will take a half-year vacation."

"Having accumulated so much experience, don't you feel a pity to give up now?" Ming Yan said.

Zhuo Yu sighed and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid you are the only one who thinks so. You don't know, there is no place for me in the other side..."

The team he brought up with one hand fell into the hands of capital little by little, but he was helpless and could only lose it year by year.

Ming Yan can understand this, but: "The other side is incompetent, can't keep you, and can't play games?"

Zhuo Yu was silent again, and took out a second cigarette.

Ming Yan did not continue the topic, and instead said: "Since you have all come to visit Blue Star, let's have a meal with us in the evening."

At seven o'clock in the evening, the designer team of Bluestar Studio announced that the team will be built tonight.

"Yeah!!"

Everyone rushed out with great interest and discussed and ordered a buffet that they often go to.

Ming Yan took Zhuo Yu and said that he was an old friend he knew, and everyone immediately laughed and started chatting on Zhuo Yu's shoulder.

"Handsome guy, are you on a blind date?"

"Eat this, come, come, eat, eat."

Zhuo Yu: "..."

He hadn't been surrounded by such enthusiasm for a long time, and his ears were red when he was teased, and he kept saying: "No, no, I'll do it myself..."

After dinner, start the daily team building board game project.

Everyone giggled and pulled out the drawing board and started playing the "you draw and I guess" game again.

Zhuo Yu had never played, so he sat next to him and watched two games for a while, and soon learned how to play.

After watching two more rounds, I couldn't help it, rolled up my sleeves and joined the battle.

While playing, I drank two glasses of beer unknowingly. This time, my face was red, my hands were hot, and the chat box was opened.

"Hahahaha, what the **** are you painting a tree? It looks like a hammer, right?"

"Damn it! Igloo! It's an igloo!!! How can anyone guess the grave!!!!"

"Wow, I draw so beautifully, I'm intoxicated."

"Ah—(crash roar from the art boss) This is all about painting gods and demons?? Salary deduction! Performance deduction!!"

...

In the corner, Mingyan showed a mysterious smile while drinking a drink :)

At the end of the evening, Zhuo Yu drank a bit too much, and walked out with Mingyan shoulder to shoulder.

Clearly said: "Fun?"

"It's a very good game idea. Let me tell you, this mode is very suitable for multiplayer games. Let's add a scoring system. If you guess within the time limit, you will be given 3 points. After winning or losing, it will be more fun..."

Zhuo Yu started, and he couldn't stop designing brain holes.

Ming Yan smiled and said, "No one has taken the lead in this project. I still feel quite a headache, so I put it into the Morningstar Incubation Park. Although some people are interested, it has not been done yet."

Zhuo Yu said with a big tongue: "What? Such a good idea, no one has done it!! Wave, waste!"

Ming Yan said, "Then do me a favor and supervise this project?"

Zhuo Yu rolled up his sleeves: "No, no problem!"

the next day.

An electronic appointment contract from Morningstar Science and Technology Park was handed to Zhuo Yu's mailbox.

It also specifically stated: Supervise until the "You Draw I Guess" project is successfully launched.

Zhuo Yu: "......" It seems that something is not right. Didn't I come for vacation and visit?

In order to prevent the bitter master from coming to the door, Ming Yan decisively filled his schedule.

In July, it was the launch date of the new version of the annual "Knight's Xing".

The last expansion piece described the main line background of the traitorous rebellion. The abused players were mourning day and night, doing tasks to burst into tears, and crying on the forum every day.

However, over time, the impact will be reduced a lot, and players will eventually enter the daily routine.

It's just that when the trumpet is leveling, it's just a matter of crying. It's good to get used to it.

In the new version, the world of "Knight's Xing" continues to move forward.

The last rebellion has finally subsided, and the culprit has been slaughtered, but many of the henchmen have fled overseas and attached themselves to some small countries.

The Central Plains countries have repeatedly warned, but the other party has not listened to them, and continued to provoke them, just because there is a plateau in the middle, and it is difficult to march.

In the new expansion piece "Beidu Boundless", several new camps have been opened - plateau tribes, Tianshan sects, etc., allowing players to travel north to crusade those small countries.

By the way, to clean up those war criminals who have fled abroad.

In the propaganda film, the phrase "to start again, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky", the players are full of emotion, almost to tears.

【Finally, all the hard work has come! ! It's our turn to take revenge! ! ! 】

【Don't stop me! I want to avenge the big sister! 】

[The fixed group is recruiting, our goal is to kill Xue Tiger and capture the princess of the Western Regions alive! Available Monday to Saturday. 】

At the same time, in this expansion, the already free Xia Ke Xing has also opened up more customized permissions.

- Players can now form their own faction.

This faction, different from the player's alliance, has a wider range of choices.

Some players came up and tried it first, formed a caravan, and found that they could invite players to enter, hire NPCs, and even trigger adventure quests when they ran the business by themselves.

A player was very excited to form a killer organization, and also squatted the name of "Bluebell Flower", which was auctioned for millions of gold the next day.

Of course, most players form a fixed group, play some nice names, such as **** building, **** pavilion, **** villa, etc., hire a few NPCs to manage the general affairs, and suddenly indulge in various gameplays——

You can run a business and make money to support your family!

You can decorate your home and play as a knight-errant version of Minecraft!

You can collect NPCs to open up the "harem"!

There is also a player who is whimsical and directly establishes a country——

Yes! The direct founding of the country is called the "Ritian Dynasty"! Make yourself the emperor! He has given his relatives and friends various titles and titles.

He also bought a piece of land quite richly and built a village first. The wooden plaque reads the four characters "Ritian Dynasty".

As a result, it was discovered by the court for the first time, and a 5-person patrol team was sent... The head of the police wisely said that he had sent the Princess Heqin, tricked the door of the village, and quickly subdued the "Emperor" himself.

The next day, the court official announced the following:

The Ritian Dynasty lasted for one day and was destroyed.

Players on the forum:

【Hahahahaha I died laughing】

[Brother, this is the Blue Star game, not the dragon slaughtering site, can you see clearly? ? 】
