Players who have just left the game are experiencing empathy and still have a considerable degree of affection for Earth.
The blue planet in the game, after several years of the apocalypse, has basically recovered its lush greenery.
When players leave the smoky human settlement and arrive in the outside world, before encountering any zombies or mutated monsters, they are greeted by an endless expanse of greenery.
That lush, clean color seems to wash away all depression.
The beauty of nature is breathtaking and leaves a very deep impression on everyone.
[Blue Planet has done such a wonderful job! Does such a beautiful planet really exist in the world, with such stunning scenery?]
[I could brag about Wok's scene modeling for the rest of my life]
While players were full of praise, some couldn't help but donate to the Blue Star Research Institute.
We must not forget that "Blue Star Apocalypse" is based on a true story!
This Blue Star Research Institute looks like the place where the story's prototype was discovered!
The donations weren't much, but many people shared the post.
Just like when "Hachiko's Story" suddenly sparked heated discussions among netizens, the plight of Bitot dogs was greatly improved.
The Blue Star Research Institute, which has always been "secluded in the mountains," was suddenly notified that donations had been opened, leaving them somewhat bewildered.
Perhaps no one could have predicted this.
The research institute was desperately poor, and the project was on the verge of collapse. What saved the project was... a fossil they had unearthed that was four thousand years old.
When Mingyan slowly woke up from the hibernation pod back then, no one could have predicted that he would achieve what he has today.
They even created a game for Blue Star, letting so many players in Sixth Star Province know that there is such a beautiful planet in the world.
The project manager still feels very emotional when he thinks about it now.
The popularity of Blue Star is so high right now that popular science articles published by the research institute several years ago have suddenly been dug up.
Wow!! The little flower I saw in the game actually existed! It's called a daisy! What a cute name!
[They're taking this too seriously. Earth takes game development so seriously; they even researched place names through archaeology.]
[I just want to ask the cult leader, is there really a hero in the underground of S City who sacrificed himself for the future of humanity, and whose name was Coster...?]
[An ancient and mysterious planet, I'd love to visit it in person.]
Mingyan's personal account was, of course, bombarded by players.
Some people are moved by the plot and want to know what the characters' fate will be, or to express their love for the characters;
Some people come to inquire about the game itself because they have questions about it.
Some people came to urge for more updates...
When will the cult leader release his next game?
[Please update!! Waving my little whip, I want the cult leader to continue! I'll play for a lifetime while I do this! See you then!]
This is absolutely outrageous.
Mingyan just led the team to create a masterpiece, and it hasn't even been 24 hours since it was released.
Surprisingly, people are already urging for the next game to be released!
Mingyan: "..." You guys are the devils!
#On the love-hate relationship between architects and gamers#
Nowadays, Mingyan has a large number of personal fans.
They called themselves "followers of the Ming Cult" and referred to Mingyan as their "leader".
They also drew the symbol of the Ming Cult—the Token of Light!
The design draft prominently features a smiling face :)
Furthermore, the slogans of the Ming Cult have already resounded throughout the forums and various comment sections—
[Products from Blue Star are guaranteed to be top-notch. With the Cult Leader himself present, we are invincible!]
Someone who didn't know better might think it was some kind of cult.
It was made clear: You interstellar people really know how to play.
The release of "Blue Star Apocalypse" caused the Ming Cult members to "dance wildly with joy".
They acted as a collective, using various means to show their support for the cult leader.
Some people even paid for their own prize draws and reposts to generate more buzz for the game.
In addition, the Ming Cult held its first offline gathering.
They elected several of the most influential fans online, and these individuals spearheaded the campaign.
The activity will, of course, involve playing several games produced by Bluestar together.
Among them are quite a few people who have appeared in the Challenger rank of League of Legends and have also made history in Minecraft.
This is not just because they admire Mingyan, but more importantly because they love these games immensely.
