Otherworldly Architect

Even headhunters really don't know who "Xixi" is.

So he immediately conveyed the original request of the other party to Lan Xing's secretary.

And the secretary confirmed again and again: "Is he really talking about Xixi?"

The other side repeatedly said "yes".

The secretary, with a head full of question marks, went out and turned left to hug Xixi, who was taking a nap.

People in the office were all looking at this bright golden retriever dog with exploratory eyes.

It was so frightening that Xixi pinched her tail.

【Shock! Well-known bigwigs in the industry coveted their opponent's press spokesman, and even wanted to exercise the unspoken rules of the office? 】

On the Blue Star internal forum, someone imitated what happened yesterday and made this post in a joking tone.

Mingyan also heard about this, and ran over to touch Xixi's head.

Xixi narrowed her eyes happily and tilted her head to reveal an angelic smile.

——Everyone suddenly accepted the setting that it is a big guy!

——Sixi is so cute and has such a high appearance rate, it is not surprising that there are fans!

Ming Yan said, "Let Xixi decide this matter. If Xixi likes that person, arrange the same office for them."

So on June 8, the most extraordinary interview in the history of Blue Star appeared.

The interviewee was Horace, a backend programmer.

The interviewer was Sixi, a spokesman for Blue Star.

In order to attract the attention of the idol, Horace also sprayed a special black pepper steak-flavored perfume on his body, which made Xixi almost drool.

The Golden Touring Retriever (Golden Retriever) itself is a very close dog breed. In this way, Sisi is simply "love at first sight" for Horace, and is not willing to let go of holding his thigh.

Schrödinger is happy to announce: Horace will be the chief backend program of Bluestar in the future!

Then, Blue Star's program group formed two spectacular factions.

The front-end boss, Schrödinger, kisses his two-dimensional wife every day.

The back-end boss, Horace, touches his idol Sixi every day.

From the perspective of outsiders, both of them were single for more than 30 years.

Ming Yan watched this scene and fell into contemplation.

——The programmers in the interstellar era have all left the vulgar taste?

In any case, Blue Star's new game, codenamed "Xia", has finally been put on the official development schedule, just like Dragon Slayer's new game "Iwannagohome".

While the program team was busy building the basic structure, Ming Yan was also perfecting his plan.

The conference room of the Blue Star Building was brightly lit, and many designers participated in related meetings.

Ming Yan said straight to the point: "The new game has many system concepts, which will subvert many design rules in the past. Next, I will disassemble each module and tell you about it again, and then arrange different responsible persons."

When everyone heard this, they all straightened up.

When it comes to new games, there is a lot to be said.

First of all, from the background of the game, the word "Xia" is a concept that makes interstellar people feel very unfamiliar.

Mingyan first wrote this word on the whiteboard.

"This concept comes from an ancient civilization of Blue Star..."

As soon as he said this, someone in the audience raised his hand: "Is it the civilization where Russell's prototype is located?"

Ming Yan smiled and said: "Yes. It is a civilization with a long history, which is longer than the Chaoyang Alliance's four thousand years. Therefore, the characters in it also have morphological significance. For example, the word 'xia' , on the left is a villain, and on the right is 'clamp', 'long tong', which means sword."

Everyone nodded suddenly, and finally understood the meaning of the project code "Xia".

Ling Xiaoman's mind wandered far away, she was thinking: The mysterious civilization of Blue Star looks very interesting, writing is as lifelike as painting, it must be a country with a very developed art, right?

Mingyan continued: "For background knowledge, we will hire two doctors from the Blue Star Research Institute as historical consultants to guide the creation of related content."

"There are two more important points next, one is about team-based combat and aggro mechanics, and the other is about character development and personalization."

As he said, the secretary has already distributed the information.

...

At the moment when the conference room of the Blue Star Studio was brightly lit, a beta version game test was also underway in the Dragon Slayer Studio.

The game theme of "Iwannagohome" is special, the volume is small, and the production and development time is greatly shortened, so it can enter the testing stage so quickly.

The test process of Dragon Slayer Sword is still very fast. First, the gameplay verification test of the alpha version, then the initial test of the beta version, and at most one package test, it can be put into sale directly.

The testing process of Bluestar Studio is more complicated, and there will be additional content such as studio internal testing, player internal testing, and final closed testing.

In this beta test, the game body of "Iwannagohome" has been roughly completed.

The test players are also openly recruited by Tulong. Players who have played their games in the past sign up by themselves, and then randomly draw from them.

Of course, there are also several well-known anchors specially invited, mainly those who are known for their actions and reactions.

The staff also focused on recording the test data and feedback of these anchors.

First of all, this test is a total of two hours, and the average number of pictures passed by the test players is 7/13, which is completely in line with the studio's internal expectations - the play time of the entire game should be about four hours, and the expert players' The clearance time can be shortened a lot.

In these two hours, the average number of deaths of these players was more than 700...

That's right! On average, more than five deaths per minute!

And this figure is also in line with the expectations of the studio.

Designers: "Hey hey hey."

At the end of this test, the players left the test room, all in a trance.

One of the master players, when asked, gritted his teeth and said, "This game... If I hadn't known that this is the Dragon Sabre Studio, I would have thought it was made by Blue Star's devil designer himself!"

The secretary who came to supervise heard it and tried her best to keep an expression: 0v0.

If you don't speak, you can't speak, and it will be bad if you reveal your stuff!

The player also said: "This game is made to see us fail miserably after repeated attempts, and then mentally collapse, right? I deeply doubt that when the player is crashing, is there a designer next door? laugh……"

The designers next door: 0v0.

Don't speak, can't speak.

What if you start laughing out loud!

After the interview session of this test ended, Dragon Sabre Studio ushered in another batch of live viewers.

These viewers are also actively participating in various live broadcast platforms, and then randomly selected, they will be tested online...

The test content is very simple, just watch the selected recorded video of the last batch of players playing the game directly, and give the corresponding score and comment.

And then these audiences are real:

【Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! 】

【It's too miserable, hahahahahaha】

[My laughing head fell off, looking all over the place. 】

[What kind of devil game is this, can it be played well for people? --Yes! Please send a copy of the game to Juliet, I want to see him cry! 】

[Lao Tzu's abdominal muscles laugh out eight pieces]

At this moment, on the Fat Cat live broadcast platform, Zhou Liye is still chatting ignorantly with the audience.

"Let me tell you, this time I'm awesome, I cooperated with Tulong Baodao Studio to broadcast the new game - the three-party cooperation understand? Their new game is called "Iwannagohome", and it will be at 12 noon. It will be sent to me on time, and then I will bring it to you live."

Audiences are also talking to him:

【Is the new game fun? 】

[Don't know the game of Dragon Slayer Sword]

"...Is the game fun? I don't know, but I guess it should be good with my toes. Isn't the game of slaughtering a dragon just a word for 'cool'."

[You said yesterday that this game is difficult to hear. 】

"...I heard that it's quite difficult, but I'm a man who even cleared the level of "Soul of Mortals" right away. Can there be a game more difficult than "Soul" in the world? Hmph, I'll talk about it today Here you go - if I don't clear Iwannagohome, I'll be wearing women's clothes for three days in a row!"

[23333 You're rolling gourd genre, you haven't cleared the soul of mortal nature until now, and you still have the face to say it]

[Women's clothing is good! Your flag stands, I see hope! 】

[The Dragon-Slaughtering Sword is looking for strength! Isn't that chief designer known as a "ghost"? 】

Chatting and chatting, the time came to 12 o'clock before I knew it.

"Iwannagohome" is officially released!

This game has been quietly launched on major platforms, and this time the Dragon Slayer Sword did not advertise aggressively——

Because the grand occasion on various live broadcast platforms is already overwhelming.

For example, on the Fat Cat TV live broadcast platform, among the top ten major anchors in the game area, five of them bought and downloaded "Iwannagohome" live and started playing directly.

There is even a big guy in the face value area, who was attracted when visiting the game area, and curiously followed the trend and downloaded it.

"Miss Juliet" took the lead, rubbed her palms excitedly, and couldn't wait to start the game.

As soon as he entered, he said, "Wow, the style of this game is very cute, it's a bit like Minecraft."

After all, it is a 2D horizontal version of the game. "Iwannagohome" is a retro pixel style. A little man is standing at the birth point, holding a gun and looking around.

The first map looks very simple, it is a green field with two apple trees growing on it, and there is a crayon-drawn sun and two clouds hanging in the sky.

The outsourced art studio that Tu Long Bao Dao found is also quite powerful. The "fairy tale style" that Tu Long Bao Dao said was described as a light weight and looks quite comfortable.

Juliet said comfortably: "Wait, watch me finish the game in two hours!"

After he finished speaking, he controlled the little man to walk forward.
