If you interact with him, the scholar will say, "Ah, not now, I still have work to finish, maybe next time."
That's a very standard ending.
Varian's NPC is an unnamed swordsman who is drinking in a very dashing manner.
When we were making this NPC, I remember that Varian, the head of the art team, drew it himself. When he handed it to the 3D modeler, he repeatedly told him: "It has to be handsome! It has to be cool! It has to be unshaven, highlighting a kind of aloof and refined temperament! It has to look like an incredibly powerful master!"
Everyone: "..."
The two programming giants, Schrödinger and Horace, are represented by two Confucian scholars who sit and discuss philosophical ideas.
This was also their own requirement, because—
Schrödinger: "Daily conversations are no longer enough for me! Horace and I are already reading ancient texts! This kind of language is really difficult, but it's still not as difficult as it is for us."
Horace: "Yes, these ancient scripts are really amazing the more you read them. They can express so much meaning in just a few words."
Schrödinger: "The only heroes in the world who can understand classical Chinese are Horace and me, hahahahaha."
Everyone looked at them with admiration.
Mingyan could only smile and remain silent as he watched the two of them holding children's primer versions of the Three Character Classic (with pinyin) and "discussing the Tao."
Ling Xiaoman's NPC is a kitten.
This punk girl said, "I hate humans. Humans are so annoying with their constant chatter. Kittens are much better; they're quiet and charming."
So the kitten was placed next to the golden retriever, Xixi.
If you want to interact with them, you'll see scenes where Xixi happily rubs against you, while the kitten disdainfully jumps up the steps and walks away.
...Yes, of course we can't forget Xixi!
The entire production team was transported directly to the magical Langhuan Realm, so how could we forget the important spokesperson and programmer encouragement officer?
Xia Cheng looked at the map and found it quite interesting, saying, "Then... I'll play a cameo role too."
Then he racked his brains, but couldn't think of any brilliant, handsome, and dashing character that could attract that dull-witted young scholar...
Mingyan laughed and said, "You must be a princeling."
Immediately, he sketched a simple drawing and said, "He should wear a fist-sized pearl on his head and a golden court robe on his body, hmm."
Unfortunately, his drawing skills were really not good, and in the end he could only draw a stick of firewood.
Xia Cheng laughed so hard, and said, "This is it. This is the first time you've 'copied' my portrait. We should keep it in the game to commemorate it!"
Mingyan: Huh?
Then the group of employees, who were always eager to stir up trouble, happily took the "firewood sticks" drawn by Mingyan and left.
When it was handed to the 3D modeler, the latter exclaimed, "What is this thing?! How could they make such an ugly stick?"
Everyone chimed in, chattering away, explaining, "This is the boss's own drawing!"
Upon hearing this, the modeler replied without hesitation, "Understood!"
Then, with a few swift movements, he created a dark stick in the software, glanced at Mingyan's original artwork, and inlaid two enormous luminous pearls on the stick.
Clearly stated: "..."
Everyone gave a thumbs up: "Wow! The resemblance is incredible! Absolutely amazing! He's definitely inherited some of the boss's skills!"
that's all.
A dark, charred stick stood beside the scholar, with three large characters above it: "Princeling Party".
It has become a source of joy for Blue Star Studio.
Xia Cheng chuckled and joked, "Why are you guys so happy while you're working?"
Mingyan was speechless and said, "Not a single one of them is a decent person!"
After all, the Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and the atmosphere is festive everywhere, including among the players.
Because "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has released a new promotional video—
Moreover, despite the critical acclaim for its previous film, "White Horse," Blue Star Studio remains unafraid to experiment with entirely new styles.
This time, the promotional video was actually filmed on location without any CG production. A father and son who were players were invited to experience the "Xia Ke Xing" game's light-footwork system in person.
Chapter 102 Experiencing the Journey of a Knight-Errant
The content of the new promotional video seems simple and unpretentious at first glance.
The opening scene is a rapid montage: staff from Blue Star ring the doorbell, install the testing equipment in the study, and exchange pleasantries with the testers (a father and son).
As they were talking, the father mentioned, "We are all loyal fans of Blue Star, especially me. Haha, to be honest, I have seriously completed every single Blue Star game."
His 11-year-old son peeked out from in front of the camera and said, "My dad played Minecraft with me and League of Legends with me. He created my own account for each game."
At this point, envious comments began to appear in the live chat:
[Someone else's dad!]
[This is hilarious! Isn't this a real father-son game against League of Legends?]
The game started quickly.
