Only then can the players finally settle down and eat properly.
It has to be said that strolling through the carnival while watching many people excitedly running around is also a kind of fun.
Xia Cheng laughed and said, "It feels just like an amusement park."
Mingyan nodded and said, "Yes, when the venue gets a little bigger next year, we plan to build a Ferris wheel so that players can get a bird's-eye view of this lively scene."
Xia Cheng said, "They're so nervous, they probably won't ride something as leisurely as a Ferris wheel."
He stated, "Therefore, I am also considering extending the carnival by one day, making it three days and two nights."
Xia Cheng clapped after hearing this: "That's a brilliant idea!" Many people would probably be extremely grateful!
but……
“Speaking of amusement parks, we’re still missing one important attraction here,” Ming said, stroking his chin.
Xia Cheng guessed curiously, "What's missing? A flower boat? A maze?..."
Mingyan couldn't help but show a kind smile and said, "We're still missing a haunted house."
Xia Cheng paused for a moment, then imagined the scene, and gradually a kind smile appeared on his face: "So, when are you planning to become the ninth one?"
Mingyan said with a smile, "No rush, no rush. The first one is an augmented reality project, and it's expected to only take six months to develop. Then it can take over from the ninth one right away, and we should be able to start designing it next year..."
The two then laughed and began to talk about the project they were really looking forward to.
The day passed quickly; it felt like two days weren't enough time to enjoy it.
There is a large hotel inside the carnival venue, and many players choose to stay there and also experience the game-themed rooms.
Of course, reservations are required, and many people have to leave the venue and spend the night in other nearby places before returning.
In reality, although there are fewer people at the carnival at night, the venue facilities are still operating, and many energetic players will choose to stay up all night.
For interstellar enthusiasts, staying up all night to play games is commonplace and nothing unusual.
Mingyan, on the other hand, chose to return to the Blue Star Building.
Although there's no need to work during the carnival, as the boss, I still need to check today's emails and daily report.
As he was looking around, he suddenly noticed a message from the carnival manager saying that he had met an old acquaintance—Zhu Wenshu.
To be honest, when Mingyan saw this name, he was stunned for a moment before he realized who it was.
Back then, Zhu Wenshu was a judge with him at the Star Show competition, and they even gave completely different evaluations of a game... Of course, in the end, time proved that Mingyan was the right person.
Zhu Wenshu hadn't appeared for a long time, but this time he happened to draw an invitation to the Blue Star Carnival, and Blue Star naturally let him in just like everyone else.
The venue reported to Mingyan as follows: "Boss, it seems he's conducting marketing activities inside the venue. We've warned him once, but it hasn't worked. Should we ask him to leave?"
Mingyan didn't quite understand what a "marketing campaign" was, so he simply switched off the security camera and went to take a look.
Zhu Wenshu's image has changed quite a bit. He used to be a typical gamer dressed casually, but now he's dressed in a suit and tie, looking like an insurance salesman.
He was giving a speech to a small group of players in an open space, saying, "Do you know why Chief Designer Ming of Blue Star was able to create so many successful and great games? I used to be a designer myself, and I even sat on the judging panel with him. I know very well..."
"In this world, there's a concept of 'qi,' the kind of qi mentioned in the novel *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*. Qi may be invisible and intangible, but it truly exists. When it gathers in a person's mind, it becomes their talent. When it gathers in the game development process, the game can attract a lot of attention..."
"Our sect teaches people how to learn and use 'qi'. Once you learn to use qi, your life will become smooth sailing, and you can succeed in whatever you do, just like Master Ming..."
In the interstellar era, the Chaoyang Alliance has laws governing freedom of religion. All kinds of beliefs can freely develop here.
The manager also checked the sect that Zhu Wenshu mentioned and found it to be a small, unknown sect.
However, since he was conducting "missionary activities" at the Blue Star Carnival venue, Blue Star, as the event organizer, had the right to refuse.
Mingyan watched for a while, then sighed and said, "Please ask him to leave. Don't say that I saw it; just pretend nothing happened."
That evening, Mingyan turned off his electronic devices and sat quietly in his office for a while.
Indeed, he has seen many gamers quit in disappointment.
Not everyone has a perpetually illustrious resume. Some may never recover after a masterpiece, never to make a comeback; others may experience a life of constant ups and downs, ultimately suffering the scorn of players and leaving the scene in disgrace; and many more never even have a name of their own, merely a small fish in the river of history, squeezed among thousands of other fish, living a mediocre life.
Putting personality aside, Zhu Wenshu is already one of the more talented game developers Mingyan has ever met.
If he can persevere through his slump and continue to work towards the business direction of the Dragon Slayer Sword Studio, he may be able to create interesting games in the future.
However, he wavered. He doubted his creative talent, then his ability to imitate, and finally had to slink away from this brutal competition.
Sometimes, some people never get an opportunity in their entire lives.
If Ling Xiaoman hadn't found someone who could understand her rock music back then; if Varian hadn't explicitly stated he'd visit her in person, or if he hadn't agreed to join the newly formed Blue Star Studio; if Yu Bing, the other person from the Star Talent Competition, hadn't been willing to collaborate with the Dragon Slayer Studio…
The gaming industry may lose something forever, but no player will ever know.
Mingyan sat for a while longer, then suddenly took out paper and pen.
He wrote above: [Game Design Creative Incubator.]
He paused for a moment, then crossed out the words "design creativity".
He wants to give many people an opportunity, not just game designers, but also artists, programmers, and everyone who loves this industry!
Chapter 146 Morning Star Departure
Mingyan's sudden idea quickly gained the support of everyone the next day.
