Otherworldly Architect

In July, as the weather gradually became hotter, Mingyan once again fell into the stage of substantial game development.

On the Dragon Sabre side, "Love in Time and Space" is scheduled to be released at the end of this year. It is expected that the first 10 chapters of the plot will be released first, and the first 120 chapters of cards will be released.

On Blue Star's side, the main project, codenamed "Hunting", is scheduled for next year's New Year's Day. It is a 3A-level production and is still in the underlying architecture.

Blue Star finally set up two working groups. The first group was led by Mingyan himself, code-named "Blue Star Group"; the second group was handed over to veteran designer Kevin, code-named "Morning Star". Group".

The main project of the Morningstar team is "Assassin's Way 2", which is currently in the initial design stage and has not yet been finalized.

In addition, the marketing and programming side dispatched a "Blue Star Platform Team" to contact a large channel construction company and are discussing the situation of outsourcing projects.

The Bluestar platform is also scheduled for next year's New Year's Day. It is expected to be launched at the same time as the project code-named "Hunting", which will be launched as a "platform exclusive game".

This is the first time that Bluestar did not cooperate with many platforms and chose to publish games by itself.

There must be a lot of formalities in the middle, and Bluestar has not disclosed the news to the "Bluestar Platform", but first made a beta version of the "Bluestar Launcher" without saying a word.

As Bluestar's partners for many years, two major platforms, Atlas and IPP, held a meeting to discuss this matter at the same time!

——What's the matter, Blue Star suddenly stopped cooperation? !

——Did we offend the leader at some point? If Bluestar's new game is not on our platform, but on someone else's platform, how can it be fixed!

As mentioned earlier, most of the time, between the publishing platform and the game developer, the former dominates and takes the initiative.

Traffic in this era is too important. Adhering to the Internet's "winner-takes-all" principle, the information arranged in the first column of the search can naturally eat 90% of the traffic, while the rest will divide up the remaining 10 %.

The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys? Hard to be realistic.

If the platform does not give any promotion, a game can only hope that independent video producers, bloggers, Internet celebrity anchors, etc. with large traffic can discover themselves and bring additional traffic to themselves.

If there isn't even that, then the game is already cool.

It may be excavated by someone a few years later, and then sigh: "It was a good game back then, but it was a pity it was buried!"

After all, it is impossible for a game to be like a painting, and the longer it is, the more valuable it is.

In just five or six years, the game production technology of this generation will be eliminated, and new good games will emerge in an endless stream. How can players have the time to play a "buried old game"?

But then again, if a game can achieve excellent quality and at the same time bring its own traffic, then the status gap will be reversed.

Now two platforms are begging Bluestar to put the game on their platforms.

——No kidding, this is Bluestar's game!

There is no need to ask the platform for traffic at all. The traffic it comes with may instead lead to the platform.

If any platform does not have this new game, it is definitely the anger of the players that awaits them:

【How come there is no new game from Bluestar! ! Spicy Chicken Platform! ! ! 】

Their marketing team, an elite team of more than a dozen people, is often called "manager" respectfully outside, serving delicious food and drinks to negotiate and sign contracts - 50 to 50 openings are the norm, and even 70% of the developers are on the platform. Thirty percent of the overlord terms.

But when they got to Lanxing's door, they became real men who could bend and stretch, and one by one took out a cigarette: "Big brother, do you smoke?"

The person in charge of Blue Star did not smoke, he just took the cigarette and explained it to them with a smile.

As for how to explain it, the company's internal secrets will definitely not be leaked - as a platform, it directly competes with these two.

The person in charge of Bluestar said: Bluestar does not mean to cut off cooperation, but the new game is no longer in the form of a multi-platform joint launch, and will definitely authorize your platform in the future.

The two platforms were a little relieved, and in order to show their sincerity, they also gave an extremely favorable commission strategy.

After that, there was still a little time to stay at Blue Star for dinner. The people from the two platforms were eating while looking at the other side, which was very unpleasant.

Atlas family: Isn't Chief Master Ming's boyfriend the one from the IPP opposite? ! It must be an internal PY relationship! This is vicious competition, and this is unfair to us!

IPP Family: Although Young Master Xia is still here with us, I dare not ask him at all. The opposite Atlas must be sowing discord! Shameless!

Both sides: "Humph!" The leader's heart must be restored!

After lunch, it is lunch time, and then the Eight Immortals cross the sea to show their magical powers.

——The two sides each held a cigarette and found what they were looking for.

As a result, we met again on the rooftop of the Blue Star Building.

Because Blue Star Building is non-smoking, you must go to the smoking area on the roof if you want to smoke.

By the time Ming Yan learned about this, the situation was out of control.

"We came first!"

"No, it's us first! Whether it's negotiating, cooperating, or making an appointment, we're all here first!"

"Why are you so proficient at grabbing games! You can't even agree on the conditions to follow up within a week, how far are you going to leave us behind?!"

And the person in charge of Blue Star: "..." Why, why did it become like this?

Facts have proved that the face of a big company can only be maintained so well when its core interests are not involved.

When it really comes to the point of life and death, no matter how respectable the elites are, they can't help but fight for their lives.

——After all, the contract with Blue Star really represents their entire career.

——If you win him, you will go to the top of your life; if you can't win him, it will be a major mistake and resign. How can this be peaceful? !

After Blue Star's mediation, the characters on both sides seemed to put aside their disputes and shook hands to make peace.

However, in the evening, the public opinion war began.

The Atlas family accused the IPP family of not distinguishing between public and private, causing malicious competition.

IPP experts accuse Atlas of sowing discord, vicious price cuts and destroying the market balance.

The bottom line of the contract offered by both sides for Blue Star was also discovered, and it was 91 open! Blue Star Nine, they only take one!

Next, the two sides began to expose the black history to each other.

The Atlas family exposed the IPP family, broke the company's internal rules, and provided the young master of the Xia family with top-class cars, garages and a private line, as well as an almost indefinite "family holiday", just to facilitate him to go to the Blue Star studio to find Mr. Ming Teacher play!

what is this? This is a kiss and kiss!

The IPP family also exposed the Atlas family, and they are the ultimate licking dog. Their marketing department actually has a rigid indicator for employees: they must pass at least one Bluestar game and know everything well (the kind that can blow rainbow farts) , or you must have recharged at least 100,000 yuan in "League of Legends" or "Xia Ke Xing" and reach the specified level.

What is the concept of 100,000 yuan, which is almost the annual income of the bottom employees!

The onlookers were so frightened that the melons in their hands fell to the ground!

The Atlas family also explained: This industry must have a full understanding of the main trends in the industry - not charging money is not enough to experience the paid mall part, and the dissatisfaction level is not enough to evaluate all game content. We just chose one of the most popular games in Sixth Star Province, which happened to be a Blue Star game.

While the onlookers were still laughing and giggling, the industry insiders had turned into lemon trees all over the mountains and plains.

This is a big channel for them to flock to. Usually they are arrogant and look down on people.

But now, for a new game of Blue Star that doesn't even have a shadow, it's almost a fight, and the price has been opened to the point of loss, which can be said to be licked to the extreme.

Blue Star is indeed a demon concubine that is a disaster for the country! !

At this time, the clear words on the mobile phone: "..."

Don't fight anymore, if you want to fight, go to the dance studio to fight, okay?

No matter how noisy it is, the initial authorization of the new project cannot be given out anyway, it is a magic weapon to **** the Blue Star platform.

In order to appease the two platforms, and to convey the meaning of continued cooperation.

Blue Star held a small meeting, and the designers who were confused said:

"How could such a trivial matter be so big all of a sudden?"

"Why did you start fighting?"

"Or... Authorize a small game for each of them."

"Just kidding, each group is already operating at full capacity, where is there any time to play games!"

"No no, I mean, what everyone is bored with is a small book? Like that 'jump jump'?"

Just like when the artist touched Varian when he was bored, he would touch the fish and draw some Q-version characters he wanted to draw.

There are several big planners who regard making games as a kind of fun themselves, and they also make a few games when they are bored.

Even Mingyan has done one, a very simple "jump and jump", and a "fly and fly".

As you can see from the name, it is really casual.

Ming Yan: "..." Seriously? Wouldn't it be a bit too perfunctory, and the other side wouldn't be angry?

The next day, Bluestar employees held a CD with the words "top secret" and each found the marketing department of Atlas and IPP.

When they said: "This is a new little game from our family, and we are willing to give it to you for the exclusive start. It is very small, but it was made by Master Ming himself-".

The other party actually burst into tears! !

"Oh my God, He De Heneng, the troubled Master Chief Master Ming personally took action! Has he been living in Blue Star all these years? I am really sorry and grateful for bothering him to come out this time. Be sure to visit the door and pay a lot of money to thank you for your life-saving grace this time!"

Later, this passage was relayed to Ming Yan.

Master Ming, his old man: "?"

The grace of saving a life is not necessarily, but the grace of saving a career is real.

Some people at Blue Star are also employees, and they already have a certain status and capital, so they can understand his inner excitement.

After all, Ming Yan has never done a similar small game in person since "Wormhole Fluctuation" N years ago, but only worked as the chief designer in various 3A-level large projects.

To outsiders who don't know the truth, the games he made himself feel like Wang Xizhi wrote a Spring Festival couplet, or Leonardo da Vinci drew a sketch and gave it to the people around him.

Tianlalu is invaluable, isn't it? ! !
