Otherworldly Architect

With the announcement of the final winners of various awards one after another, the ceremony also slowly came to the climax.

The Game of the Year award has a total of twelve nominated games.

The title of each game flashed across the screen, and the lights dimmed instantly with the rousing music.

The host briefly introduced each game with a passionate fairy.

Then, the guest of honor, an industry veteran, came to the stage.

"...In this year, I'm very happy to see the stars and provinces blooming, creating a lot of imaginative and beautifully crafted game works. It is very difficult to decide a first place every year. easy thing.

"This year, we have a new spring for old series that are timeless, as well as remakes of old projects that are reborn from the ashes.

"But what makes me most happy is seeing a rising star in the gaming world.

"He was born in the Sixth Star Province, and he came into our sight like a dark horse. From the original original debut to the impeccable mature product, we are refreshing and proud."

After the old senior finished speaking, he reached out and opened the envelope in front of him.

He took out the card with the honor written on it, and after looking at it, a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"I announce that the 1142nd Annual Best Game Award of the League One belongs to "Blue Star Doomsday"! Blue Star Studio from the Sixth Star Province, congratulations on winning this year's crown!"

The grand music sounded again, the lights in the audience went out, and only a beam of lights shrouded the seats of Blue Star.

In the warm light, everyone in Blue Star looked at the camera at a loss, facing the warm applause from the scene.

Many people are still in a dream and dare not imagine that this is a real thing.

Ling Xiaoman pinched the arm of the person next to him and whispered, "Why haven't I woken up yet?"

However, the golden ribbons had already fallen towards them, and everyone's eyes were focused on them.

There were envious, longing, and lost people at the scene.

Blue Star is only a small studio that has just been established for less than four years, and it comes from a remote and backward sixth-star province, but it came out on top this year, making a name for their star province.

Even if many companies have been established for hundreds of years, they can only come to this ceremony a few times!

Xia Cheng pushed Ming Yan and woke the latter from his absence.

Ming Yan then went to the stage again.

The presenter handed the trophy to Ming Yan's hands, and the old eyes revealed joy and praise.

He couldn't help but gently hug Ming Yan and said, "The young people today are really amazing."

Said clearly, "Thank you."

Then, Ming Yan had to give a speech again.

His eyes wandered around the audience, he saw all the production team looking up at him, and also saw Ning Yufeng's smiling expression.

Then his eyes were fixed on Xia Cheng's encouraging eyes.

Xia Cheng mouthed: "Come on!" According to tradition, you have to talk for at least half a minute, right!

Ming Yan relaxed a little and nodded to him.

Then he said clearly: "Thank you to everyone at Blue Star Studio, and to all the players who support us. Thank you."

Xia Cheng: "..."

24 words, not a single word is too much.

Mingyan touched his nose and added: "This is the result of the hard work and hard work of everyone in the production team. I dedicate this trophy to Bluestar, and I believe we can do better next year."

There was another round of applause and good-natured smiles.

At this time, the live broadcast barrage is very realistic.

【Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha cute me dead

[Is the character design of the most talented designer of the year shy? And speech phobia? 】

Yes, an ordinary person can't speak, that is a phobia that everyone has.

And a great person doesn't know how to give a speech on the spot, that's proof that "geniuses have quirks".

Netizens also think this is a cute contrast!

In the eyes of many people, most of the otaku who make games are not good at words, with greasy hair in seclusion and writing code in the office.

The less social he is, the more powerful he is.

Ming Yan walked down the stage soon.

The golden lights and streamers dazzled him, and dozens of drones were shooting close-ups of him at the same time.

There were even two shots of champagne sprayed on him as he stepped down.

The people on both sides of the seats also laughed and whistled.

It was difficult to get to the stage.

Ming Yan took a look at the trophy for the Best Game of the Year Award. It was really in the shape of a cup, with the current year and month engraved on it, as well as the imprint from the League One.

At the bottom of the trophy, a small line reads: "Blue Star Doomsday", Blue Star Studio.

Below are smaller words, and a QR code that can be recognized by all interstellar equipment, which contains the entire production and thank you list of "Blue Star Doomsday".

"Boss, boss, give us Kangkang!"

"Boss, can I touch your trophy?"

Ming Yan threw the trophy to the wide-eyed crowd with a smile, scaring them to pick it up.

The trophy was received by Schrödinger, and after touching it up and down, he handed it over to the next person in a hurry.

Varian, Kevin, Steven, Ling Xiaoman... Everyone touched it, and many others pouted and kissed.

One of the highest honors in the gaming industry!

The media in the Sixth Star Province have already exploded, and they are scrambling to report this small trophy in the news as soon as possible.

The cooperation department of the platform A has even prepared a long article in advance, just waiting for the Blue Star to officially win the award, and it will be released as soon as possible.

【We have long known that Bluestar Studio will dominate the world! 】

[You don't need to bring anything else across the province this year, bring the game produced by Bluestar, people all over the world will fall in love with it]

[Bluestar has proved itself for the sixth-star province, we can also have a popular IP, a name that resounds all over the world! 】

[A figure who has risen like a legend, has now reached his peak? 】

Under the fame, Blue Star's family history was once again unearthed.

Mingyan's alma mater suddenly increased in popularity and ratings, and suddenly jumped up three places because of an honorary award.

Banners of congratulations and celebrations were displayed early in the academy, and even the CG of Blue Star Doomsday was displayed for free in the cafeteria.

In the dormitory building of the Game Academy, group shouting had already occurred, and there were even two dormitories that tied the sheets together, turning it into an ugly banner——

【Blue Star is awesome! ! ! 】

The blank space at the bottom is filled with exclamation marks.

At this time, Ming Yan, who is far away from the Central Star Province, has just ended the award ceremony of the League A.

At 18:00, they ate at the famous "Wrangler Banner" restaurant next to the lobby.

To be honest, the food there doesn't taste that good.

But the luxurious decoration, it is said that many are antiques from ancient empires; there is also soothing music, which directly invited a well-known symphony orchestra.

Outside the hall is a clear artificial lake, and opposite it is the sacred platinum hall of the League A.

Just this atmosphere, this force, is beyond the range that money can buy.

More than 1,000 people attended the ceremony, and after the meal they attended one of the most famous dances in the gaming world.

At this time, Ming Yan was very confused and said, "I seem to have forgotten to invite a female dance partner..."

Xia Cheng smiled and said, "What age do you want, what kind of female companion do you want?"

After he finished speaking, it was a standard invitation etiquette to come to Ming Yan.

Ming Yan was happy and said, "Are you dancing women's steps? I won't."

Xia Cheng: "..."

People who are flirting with themselves, even kneeling and flirting to the end.

Fortunately, among the international standard dance steps, the dance steps of men and women are actually not much different, and there is no difference between whether they are soft or not.

The only difference is that women's steps are mostly forward, and men's steps are mostly backward - this may be a manifestation of gentleman's demeanor.

Anyway, Ming Yan thought that Xia Cheng danced very well.

The hand on his waist is also very strong, and his steps forward appear firm and domineering...

This domineering made Mingyan instantly understand why the gentlemen chose to step back in the dance.

If it's really a girl dancing with Xia Cheng, I'm afraid she's lost her head by his hormones.

After a song, he said sincerely: "Don't dance with girls in the future..." You will scare people.

Unexpectedly, Xia Cheng was overjoyed and said, "Promise not!"

He pursed his lips happily, like a fresh graduate who was overwhelmed after being complimented.

Then he realized that he was still holding Ming Yan's hand, and quickly let go, saying, "There's chocolate mousse over there, I'll go and bring you two plates."

Hi.

Clearly I don't really like chocolate.

But when he saw Xia Cheng so happy, he had to acquiesce.

The moment Xia Cheng turned to leave, someone came next to him.

——Ning Yufeng was dressed in formal clothes, and his always serious face also showed a warm smile: "Can I ask you to dance?"

It is normal to change partners at such dances.

So he said clearly: "I don't know how to walk. Would you like to dance?"

Ning Yufeng: "..."

People who are flirting with themselves, even kneeling and flirting to the end.

Finally, the veteran and prudent Chairman Ning Da of the League A was also forced to bend his knees, and made a female step for Mingyan.

When the two of them turned to the dance floor, the acquaintances of the League A next to them couldn't help but peek at them.

——Bewildered, this talented designer from the sixth province, does it have some special function?

——Why did the big guys rush up to dance the women's step for him one by two?

Ning Yufeng pretended not to see those eyes, put one hand on Ming Yan's waist lightly, and said with a smile, "You are brilliant today."

Ming Yan was delighted and said, "Isn't it true, the spotlight hit me directly in the face, I'm about to go blind."

Ning Yufeng: "...I mean, you make people feel very longing."

Ming Yan nodded: "Looking forward, I understand very well. Do you want to hold a trophy like this too? Would you like to invest in a game to try? I promise it's very fun, for example, I recently watched an idle game..."

Ning Yufeng: "..."

At this moment, he suddenly felt the despair that Master Xia Cheng had experienced.

When the song was finished, Ming Yan walked towards the resting place again, and saw that Xia Cheng was already staring here.

Ning Yufeng: "Good evening, hehe."

Xia Cheng: "Haha."

Clearly: "?"

Why are these two people clearly smiling, but they can still clearly reveal a "I see you are very upset" atmosphere?

Ming Yan looked left and right, and finally realized a fact.

That's right, that is-

Xia Cheng took away all the chocolate mousse!

——It was so careless that Ning Yufeng who came over didn't eat it.

Feeling that the crux was found, Ming Yan's expression suddenly became very kind.

He took a large plate of dim sum, divided it into two parts, and distributed one to each person, then said, "The atmosphere of the dinner party is really good, hehe."

The tense atmosphere soon disappeared, and both of them looked at Ming Yan helplessly.

Then they also realized the crux.

- It's useless to solve another person! The problem is to get the clear words first!

...

The night of the awards ceremony passed quickly.

Ming Yan said goodbye to Xia Cheng, Ning and Feng respectively, and then decisively spent a carnival night with the rest of the Blue Star studio.

They had so much fun that they made it clear that they couldn't get up the next day.

There are at most two days left for the holidays in Central Star Province, and Ming Yan can't wait to go back to work overtime.

He had never been away from work for so long, and now his mind was full of new inspirations.

That's right, a dedicated person like him is usually thinking about designing when he is bored!

Make an analogy.

When others squat, they may take out their mobile phones and swipe two short videos of sand sculptures.

And Ming Yan squatting in the pit is to take out his mobile phone, open the notepad, and record all the thoughts and inspirations that he scatters.

Ming · leader · never boring · words, always have a special posture to let yourself work overtime.

And the result of this race against time is that every day he has a holiday, he will save a lot of new inspiration.

It's been five days since he left the computer, and his brain is about to burst with inspiration...

On the penultimate day before going back to work overtime, Ming Yan was pulled out by Xia Cheng for skiing and skating.

The entire ice and snow city purchased and built by the Xia family, many people use sleds to parkour in it.

The live broadcast of the award ceremony in the Central Star Province has just ended, and it is still spreading outward at the speed of light.

Mingyan is now a big celebrity, and he will send out dozens of autographs after playing for a day.

It happened to be very tiring, so the two finally came to the virtual entertainment hall outside the skating rink and played a game.

Well, the standard ending.

In the evening, Ming Yan fulfilled his promise again and went to see a movie with Ning Yufeng.

This movie is about love, and it is a couple who have been lingering for three lifetimes, which is simply touching.

At the climax, the male protagonist is deeply trapped in the enemy's line, and bravely rushes to the army of tens of millions, breaking the queen for the female protagonist.

Everyone in the movie theater watched and secretly wiped away tears.

In fact, Ning Yufeng had already watched it once as a stepping-stone, confirming that the movie was really touching - so he turned his head to observe Ming Yan's expression.

Ming Yan is lowering his head and writing quickly.

—He had another brilliant idea! It feels like it can be done in a new game!

- As for love? what is that? Is it in this video?

Well, it's still the standard ending.

On the last day before going back to work overtime, Xia Cheng took Mingyan to a famous commercial street in Central Star Province.

A street is full of dazzling sights, and Ming Yan's eyes are fixed on a VR game experience store.

Then he took a fancy to the new third-generation VR equipment and the latest universal sports blanket, and he asked the supplier's channel from the owner of the experience store.

Standard ending again.

However, Xia Cheng was quite happy, because Ming Yan also bought him a third-generation VR device!

Although the Xia family has many sets of black technology equipment that has not yet started mass production, it is not important, Xia Cheng can completely assume that there is no such thing.

What matters is what you say!

"Next time you want to play a game, you don't have to wait until it is released, I can secretly open a back door for you." Ming Yan whispered, "You can also sneak in during the studio test, just don't say it out."

The unselfish and unselfish boss actually opened the back door!

Young Master Xia Cheng, who got the privilege here, feels that he is the most beautiful player in the universe today.

And finally made it to the day when he went back to work overtime, Ming Yan also returned with a reward.

The "Game of the Year" award brought him three million in cash, but that wasn't the most important thing.

The important thing is the honor represented behind it, so that "Blue Star Doomsday" has truly become a classic work of this era, and has been inscribed in the hall of history.

This reward was sent to Mingyan in the form of an electronic check, and Mingyan kept it carefully as a souvenir.

In addition, there was also the selection of "Excellent Young Architect", and the affiliated association also gave Mingyan a bonus of 50,000 yuan.

This is really meant to be encouraged.

This is the first time that Blue Star, and Mingyan himself, have won a league-wide national award.

On the Internet, there are naturally a variety of voices.

Someone was singing the praises, saying: [This is the beginning of the leader's journey! Just wait, next year's best of the year, and the year after, the year after... I understand that the church will conquer League A! 】

Some people also said: [Won such a high award at such a young age, it will definitely expand in the future. This industry has never been short of geniuses. Momentary inspiration means nothing. We have all seen young designers who have no more following after a work has become popular... I hope Bluestar can keep their original aspirations. 】

...

Sixth Star Province, in Tingxi Studio under the control of Cruise Capital.

Several designers were not in the mood to work. They lowered their heads and took out their mobile phones, stared at the palm-sized screen, and peeked at the recorded video of the ceremony.

When Zhu Wenshu's secretary passed by, they put away their mobile phones together and quickly pretended to be concentrating on work.

The secretary passed by everyone's workstation and came to the chief designer's office and knocked on the door.

"Boss, today's news is out, the headline is about Blue Star..."

Inside the door, Zhu Wenshu asked irritably, "That person is all the headlines? That's why he won the best of the year?"

The secretary said cautiously: "It is said that this is the case..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a "bang" from inside.

Something was smashed directly into the door and shattered on the ground.

Zhu Wenshu roared through the door: "Don't watch it! You don't have to show me the news this week! I'm going to retreat and make a plan for a new game!"

At this time, some people are happy and some are sad.

At the headquarters of the Blue Star Studio in the Sixth Star Province, the remaining employees are ready to start the "Blue Star Doomsday" related linkage activities!

First of all, Blue Star Doomsday will launch the "Annual Edition", which means: the best and perfect edition of the year that is full of praise from the big players of the League A.

In this version, they have added a series of new side quests to ensure that they are above the horizontal line.

At the same time, a new set of celebratory coats was provided for each main character - Louis also put on a gentleman's top hat, more like a petite young master.

The second is the related linkage of other games.

"League of Legends" has launched two new skins, called "Snow Goddess" and "Wild Elf", which are based on Russell and Lewis.

"Minecraft" has launched an official map easter egg, enter the corresponding map seed, and players can come to a blocky blue star map.

Finally, the most surprising thing for players is the first promotional film of "Soul of Mortal".

Players who are familiar with Bluestar Studios know that the chief designer Ming likes to conduct gameplay verification tests, and the first promotional video is always released after the test is completed.

The same is true of Mortal Soul, the first trailer is still full of Bluestar style.

The first thing that appeared in the first act of the promotional film was the boundless darkness, and there seemed to be thick fog surging in the darkness.

The whole scene is silent and full of danger that is about to explode.

Suddenly, a little fire flashed in the darkness.

A knight in armor bursts into the camera, and along with his heavy breathing and hurried footsteps, he seems to be dodging his pursuers.

His footsteps stopped abruptly, followed by a dull blade, and a battle seemed to break out in the darkness, but it was soon over.

The light flashed away, and everything fell into darkness again.

The scream of the knight seemed to tear the screen apart.

The camera panned with a thick haze, and it looked as if the drone had fallen to the ground.

Then, a deformed hand looms in the footage.

The hands were skinny, emaciated and unhuman, and dark and rough, as if they had been soaked in salt water for years.

The hand picked up the camera, and the owner of the hand appeared in the picture——

He was wearing a hood and a priest's robe, but the clothes were too rotting.

The only line in the promotional video finally appeared:

"Don't even think about... eroding our world with the fire of false gods..."

The first promotional video is still in the style of Blue Star, mysterious and mysterious, and the storytelling is not clear, so players can guess.

However, players are really like shaking M, they have already been trained by them!

Even with such a small amount of information, they can start discussing the background story of the game in full swing.

What's more, the players who participated in the ALPHA test for the first time have all come back one after another.

Although no video can be revealed, an agreement has been signed, and no game-related content can be revealed.

But they can blow what has been released so far!
