Sandbox mode features maps and situations that are either player-defined or randomly generated by the system. Players can freely choose a nation to spawn in at a specific location and develop their power from scratch.
Of course, the so-called starting from scratch means that this country has just entered the great space age, is able to use the most basic spaceships and probes, and has a technological level of a second-level cosmic civilization.
Currently, there are four scenarios for the story mode, and the rest are still being developed by the designers.
This alpha version of "Galaxy" has already captivated many beta testers, leaving them wanting more.
On his first day playing the game, Luke stayed up all night and played for two days and one night.
Finally, Mingyan chuckled and personally went over to lift him up, saying, "If you keep going like this, I'm worried your master will come looking for trouble with me."
Luke pleaded pitifully, "I just wanted to play one more round... It's all because of your art team that the 'Next Round' button is so tempting."
Luca slept soundly in the lounge of the Blue Star Building, and when he woke up, he bounced over to find Mingyan.
Luke stammered, "Master, do you still have any test slots? I want to take them back to my teacher..."
Mingyan was a little surprised: "Odin also likes to play turn-based strategy games?"
"Actually, it's my master's wife who likes to play," Luke scratched his nose. "You might not be able to tell from her appearance, but she's incredibly skilled..."
Mingyan knew who he was referring to; it was likely Odin's legal spouse, Victor Lee, the chairman of the Second Star Province Cultural Protection Association.
This isn't the first time the two parties have collaborated, so having an extra game testing slot is perfectly normal.
Mingyan then packaged an extra copy of the game and gave it to Luke to take back.
Comrade Luke was overjoyed, his head practically bursting with happiness. He exclaimed repeatedly, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master! Happy birthday, Master! May you enjoy eternal bliss and longevity, and rule the martial world for a thousand generations!"
It went so smoothly.
Mingyan: "?" Has this young man been tricked into joining some cult in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" again?
When Luca returned, he excitedly boasted, "Master, Master, Master! Mistress, Mistress, Mistress! Look what good things I brought back! Top-quality local specialties from the Sixth Star Province, and the latest game from Blue Star!!"
Like a child returning from a spring outing.
Victor was in front of the computer, seemingly busy with some work.
Odin, wearing pajamas, walked over, rummaged through Luke's suitcase, and pulled out the alpha version of "Star River".
The master and apprentice were overjoyed, and they sneaked off to the game room with the game in hand.
Luke: "Master, Master, I'll let you play for ten rounds at most."
Odin: "I'll give it to you next time."
Luke: "Master! Ten rounds have passed! It's my turn to play for a while!"
Odin: "The final round."
Luke: "..."
200. Game Gold Rush
As time progressed into April, the final version of "Galaxy" was almost completed.
Online mode may take a little longer than single-player mode.
After discussions within Blue Star, the online mode was ultimately determined to be a player-hosted model.
Traditionally, online play for this type of game is divided into two types: one is through official servers, and the other is through the player's computer as the host.
Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages; the former is more stable and secure, while the latter offers more freedom.
Blue Star dared to use the latter model because it had already accumulated some experience, and because Galaxy itself is a game that welcomes player modifications.
Minecraft is almost ten years old now, and there are countless player mods, many of which can be considered high-quality mini-games in themselves.
The sandbox mode of Galaxy is also quite suitable for creating modules or custom maps.
As for the release date of "Galaxy", after discussions with the marketing team, it was set for May 1st.
You can directly join the Galaxy Pavilion at this year's Blue Star Carnival.
Once the official version is released, players will be able to experience the custom levels created by the designers themselves...
For example, there's a scenario where the Zerg have conquered the entire universe, and the player must start as an exiled human government.
No one on Earth has ever been able to perfectly complete that scenario.
The designers unanimously agreed to include this nightmare scenario in the final version, so that players could also experience the fear and humiliation of being dominated!
Ahem, of course, they'll say to outsiders: This is a challenging scenario with an environmental theme.
"Pest control" is definitely part of environmental protection, so sending love to all our dear players :)
This year's carnival took Mingyan a little time to set up.
At last year's League One awards ceremony, Ming Yan mentioned that he had met several big names, one of whom was in the theme park business.
Although they initially targeted the Dragon Slayer Studio and wanted to compete with Blue Star Carnival, since they were collaborating with Mingyan anyway, the outcome didn't really matter.
After thinking it over, Mingyan had Lanxing draft a Lanxing Theme Park project and then secretly began preparing for the bidding process.
When the news reached them...
