Otherworldly Architect (The Strongest Game Architect)

v3 Chapter 196: Running group tradition

After the death of Lewis' clone, "Blue Star Doom 2" moved to the rhythm of the finale.

The difference from the first one is that the processing method here draws on the "Way of the Assassin", which is an open ending, and does not name the ending of each important person.

And players can also continue to play in this world after the ending, and complete some unfinished tasks.

After the ending, there are still a few large or small side quests.

For example, Lewis now has a bad reputation and may have wanted portraits in several of the larger human settlements.

Therefore, each settlement will have a fixed task, which is to improve its own reputation.

After avoiding being hostile to NPCs, you can go in to receive other side quests.

For another example, after the replicant died, they discussed how to bury his body.

"I know myself," Lewis said. "I prefer sea burials."

He looked out to the vast sea.

Since Louis was very young, the world has been a desert of doomsday.

People are busy using each other, deceiving each other, killing each other, the government structure of the past is disintegrating, all kinds of facilities are gone, and naturally there is no longer a route across the ocean.

Louis had never seen other continents, so he thought, maybe if he chooses to be buried at sea after his death, he can go to a farther place, maybe.

Russell was dressed in black as they buried the remains of the replicants at sea.

She has black hair and looks more than five years younger, but the compassion and vicissitudes in her eyes cannot be concealed.

Seeing Louis looking at his clone's body without blinking, Russell gently hugged him into his arms.

"..."

Louis suddenly blushed: "You, what are you doing!"

Russell said, "Silly boy."

Lewis was quiet for a while.

They all know that the reason why the replicant would make such a move in the last time, in exchange for Russell's health, is because the real Lewis thinks the same way.

He has wanted to do this for a long time.

No matter how people looked at him or feared him, in Russell's mind, Louis would always be that stupid boy.

The ending of "Blue Star Doom 2", from a certain point of view, is still very happy.

Russell returned to health.

And Louis and her, as relatives who depend on each other, continue their nomadic life.

The designers of the Blue Star Studio are beaming with joy at the moment, rubbing their hands and waiting to see the players' thoughts on the clearance.

This is the first time that they have made a sequel to the big IP of Blue Star Doom without the supervision of Chief Master Ming!

From the sales point of view, this sequel is entirely likely to continue the glory of the previous one.

Of course, this is also thanks to the lingering shadow of the predecessors. Now it depends on how players evaluate this and whether they will continue to look forward to the birth of the next sequel...

Designers: 0v0 for bragging.

We have made Blue Star's most complete, refreshing, light-hearted and witty main task flow for the first time ever!

Russell is not dead! Louis isn't dead either! And still very healthy and happy to continue to rely on each other!

Players:

[Blue Star, a knife wholesale company that was delayed by the game. 】

【Designer: Tears are worthless things :) 】

【Devil! ! ! ! ! 】

[Oh my God, which Louis is a little angel, I want both of them qwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwq]

[What kind of devil are you, who have won the true inheritance of the master master of Ming Dynasty? woo woo woo woo! 】

...

Designers, slowly asked a question mark: "...?"

And Blue Star Studio, as usual, gave the production team of Blue Star Doom 2 a small holiday, and everyone had a buffet together.

At the party, Mingyan also praised their efforts for "Blue Star Doomsday 2".

Although he doesn't understand such a happy plot, why do players still cry...

Xia Cheng, who was on the side, smiled and said, "Maybe I feel so happy, so I'm moved to cry."

Everyone nodded in unison.

Then, after dinner, the designers of Blue Star started an activity that they were very addicted to recently:

National War Running Team.

The so-called "running group" refers to a tabletop game, often played by a host and several players, using maps, dice and rule books and other props to assist to complete the abnormal role-playing game.

The habit of running a group together was acquired by everyone during the two months when the wormhole fluctuated. It is one of the old traditions of Bluestar Studio.

The National War Running Team was originally inspired by a small project in Morningstar Incubation Park.

Each player on their table no longer plays a single role, but directly plays a country.

At the earliest, they used the national template in reality:

The Chaoyang Alliance, an alliance of multiple star clusters, has a vast area and open customs, and the local government has great sovereignty. His specialty is virtual reality technology and time-space transition technology, which is considered a technology flow.

The Galactic Empire, a constitutional monarchy, the royal family has ancient dragon blood, and the government power is highly concentrated. Specialties are the military system and special arms (dragon species), which are considered military violence.

The Suzaku Empire, in essence a two-headed rule, is dominated by two princes, and all Suzaku people can establish spiritual connections with each other. His specialty is foreign policy, Suzaku Nirvana, is it... and relatives?

The earliest designer who played the Suzaku Empire suggested, "I want to get a prince to marry the eldest princess of the Galactic Empire, and then form an alliance with the Galactic Empire... OK?"

Everyone in the audience was stunned!

Moderator: "Is there still such an operation?"

"Suzaku" said, "Why not? Don't you like the Suzaku people?"

Everyone: "..." But when everyone else is trying their best to climb the technology tree and build troops to attack local nests, have you come up with a marriage tactic?

It's like opening the door to a new world.

As the designers' brain holes become bigger and bigger, there are more and more settings for this "national war running group".

In addition to the traditional victory of conquering the whole universe with the army, they have also developed the alliance victory of the whole universe with the pro-alliance, the local tyrant victory of controlling all the countries with economic means, and brainwashing by means of religion or culture. Faithful victory for all opponents...

Of course, everyone wanted a technological victory and gave the Chaoyang Alliance a little preferential treatment, but they couldn't think of a good way.

In the end, they decided: the country that has climbed the technology tree can build a wormhole and emigrate to another universe.

It can be said that the brain hole is very big.

Later, they began to use civilizations and races that had appeared in history.

What red crystal, what Zerg, what ancient dragon's empire (because the setting is too strong to be used)... everything.

Then he clearly stated that he used Blue Star Civilization every time, and was beaten by this group of interstellar people every time.

Clearly: "..."

The old fossil civilization is really weak...

Later, because the rules were refined one by one, the game content became more and more.

If there is only one host on the table, it is difficult to take care of it completely.

There are too many things to record on your desktop, including what buildings each country has built, what technology has been researched, what policies have been implemented, how many troops it currently has, how many resources, how many diplomatic matters, etc...

Moderator: I am too difficult quq

——Why are my colleagues so good at designing!

So, two programmers were called to the designers' table.

When Mingyan said with a serious face, "Here is a small program that needs your help", the programmers all sat down, thinking that there was some important and confidential project.

Unexpectedly, what the designers want is actually an auxiliary recording program...

"It's best to keep a record of what you do every round."

"Yes, it's better to help calculate the economic changes in each round. By the way, should our hero characters have children?"

"Let Prince Suzaku and Eldest Princess Galaxy have a baby? Thinking about it is extremely frightening."

The programmers of Blue Star are all big bosses, and it only takes dozens of minutes to make this kind of small program.

Although the interface is a bit crude, any program starts from the command line.

All of my colleagues are so familiar with it, and the designers have long been able to skillfully use the various ugly interfaces made by the program bosses.

After two more days, the programmers announced that they had joined the big family of the National War Running Group.

"Hurry up! The big guys will add a mechanical empire and an artificial intelligence empire to us!"

The designers then added two new civilizations, two new features: ignore morale, and copy quickly.

Then added a new way to win: turning all life into data, a mechanical scourge-style victory.

After a few days, the program bosses began to be dissatisfied with the management speed of the host.

"It's too slow. It takes two minutes for the operation of a round to have a settlement feedback. Or we don't need a host, it's more complicated, let's do the backend of the program."

As a result, Bluestar's group running event finally had official technical support.

The program bosses are so addicted, they don't even forget to update their assisted running group 2.0 applet after get off work every day.

When the New Year's holiday at the end of February this year passed and everyone came back from vacation, everyone found out to each other that more than a hundred people from Blue Star were addicted to this tabletop game.

And the technical support of the program bosses has quietly come to version 3.1.

Now they no longer need to play games face-to-face with designers on the table, as long as they log in to this small game online, they can run a group anytime, anywhere.

In addition to the economy, military, diplomacy, etc., the content of a game needs to be concerned, and there are a series of new designs such as logistics, heroes, prestige, education, beliefs, leaders...

The program bosses looked at it, chose direct integration, and finished it with the game engine.

After the holiday, when the designers came to work beaming, they fell into contemplation in the face of the extremely simple "Running Team Assistant 3.1" program.

"emmmmmmm..."

"Did we make a new game unknowingly???"

At this time, the players did not know this "extremely good news".

They are still immersed in the carnival brought by "Blue Star Doomsday 2", and most of them have not played the customs yet.

Of course, reminders are still indispensable:

【What about the next game! ! Hurry up and say who will be the next one? ! 】

This is the first time.

Seeing their urging, Ming Yan showed a knowing smile.

He actually walked in front of the player!

Does this feeling mean that the author can be as happy as he can get ahead of the readers when he has a manuscript? !
