These mini-games may not be very profitable, but they are quite popular.
Especially on mobile devices, the Blue Star platform obviously can't be used to play large-scale games like Assassin's Way 2. It can only be used to manage accounts, buy games, and play small games like Dragon Hunter.
Jumping around on the bus while holding your phone can really relax you.
No thinking or operation is required; you can just tap away without thinking. That's why casual gamers love this kind of game and even post on forums asking for similar games.
Incidentally, there are currently no new projects in the Assassin's Way series, and Chief Designer Zhuo Yuzhuo is currently working at the Morningstar Incubator, acting as an "old man making independent games."
He's currently creating some small games based on his own inspiration; for example, he recently designed a vegetable-chopping game with Mingyan...
The two didn't hire any other partners or graphic designers. They simply used publicly available materials from the Morningstar Incubator and did the programming themselves to create a small game that looked like it was "independently made".
Strangely enough, a new legend has emerged at Morningstar Incubator.
It's said there's a ghost in the incubator, the kind that lets you in without a card, and then at night it sneaks up to look at other people's design drafts and writes a little note to point out some flaws to the designers... What a mysterious ghost.
It is also said that there is a hidden master in the incubator who usually hides among the cleaners, but occasionally he will look at everyone's screens and sometimes suddenly peek out and say: "You filled in this formula wrong, the data here will be unbalanced."
What's even more intriguing is that these two mysterious legends seem to know a little bit about everything.
While they mostly prefer to offer design advice, they sometimes help identify program vulnerabilities, point out bug locations, and even draw doodles to design UI interfaces.
After this kind of news circulated for a while, everyone was speechless.
Morningstar Incubator is truly a place teeming with hidden talents! Even the janitor is the most versatile and outstanding person!
The two big names' new game was launched directly on the Blue Star platform, with a very simple and straightforward name—
Cut vegetables with a knife.
The signatures at the end were "Lemon Yellow" and "Too Lazy to Think".
It's easy to imagine that for these two big shots, designing a small game is like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito—it's a piece of cake.
Players who downloaded the game found the gameplay exceptionally smooth, the content concise and straightforward, the gameplay simple yet fun, and even the menu design unique.
Players generally find it difficult to discern the high production quality of non-AAA games.
Only industry insiders, through systematic analysis of the entire game, can see its intricacies and exclaim: "This is a masterpiece! It is the culmination of experience and inspiration, with each detail having its own unique features, and only when combined can it achieve such a perfect and exquisite effect."
The names "Lemon Yellow" and "Too Lazy to Think" have been the subject of much speculation within the industry.
As products from the Morning Star Incubator, they naturally guessed that Chief Designer Ming had made them by hand, but none of them dared to say it out loud.
After all, Mr. Ming is a very busy person, and given his current status, would he really still make games himself?
Well, it turns out: it does.
No matter how much time has passed, Mingyan still loves game making just as much.
Even though he is now worth hundreds of billions and has a large number of employees, he still finds himself completely absorbed in the joy of creating games.
After playing games with Zhuo Yu, he happily made a point of having dinner together on a separate day.
Then the two of them sat facing each other, opened their phones, and started reading the comments on "Cut Vegetables with a Knife." When they saw the players' heartfelt praise, they laughed heartily and showed it to the person opposite them.
Mingyan even asked, "What does 'lemon yellow' mean?"
Zhuo Yu said expressionlessly, "It's nothing, I just like eating lemons lately."
Ming said, "Is that so?"
Then I made a mental note that when Chief Engineer Zhuo has his birthday, I should have someone from Chenxing's department prepare a set of lemon desserts and a lemon cake to send over.
Zhuo Yu also asked, "Isn't the name 'Too Lazy to Think' a bit too casual?"
Mingyan clasped his hands together and sighed deeply: "Personal disguises are completely unimportant..."
Zhuo Yu understood immediately, then suppressed a laugh.
Mingyan's gaze, weathered by time, drifted out the window: "It'll all fall apart sooner or later anyway, friend. Take it easy. It doesn't matter what your name is. Don't place too much expectation or trust in your disguise, so you won't panic too much when it's exposed..."
In conclusion, the Blue Star platform was launched smoothly, and the pre-sales of "Hunter World" are also very good.
Mingyan freed up a bit of his time, checked the current status of "Player's Hut," and with a wave of his hand, ordered it to be launched along with the platform.
As mentioned earlier, in the player's cabin, players can enter their own games through methods they set themselves.
Now, all the games featuring the Dragon Slayer Sword have been added, and the little house is no longer empty, but rather cozy and fun.
Two acres of farmland were also arranged outside the player's cabin.
This farming gameplay has been perfected in the last two months, and now it finally has a player level system.
Players gain experience each time they farm and perform actions. As they level up, they unlock more seeds, fertilizers, items, and appearances.
The experienced designers on Blue Star know how to arrange things in a step-by-step manner, achieving a very delicate balance.
With its small size and simple gameplay, it can be considered a mini game that BlueStar platform is giving away for free to every user.
Then, just like other mini-games, players become immersed in it from the start.
I absolutely love my little house! Ahhhhh! I can't wait to upgrade to level 8 so I can customize my house! I've already looked through the entire appearance shop, and I want my underwater villa!!
Wow, the entrance is all games, and you can farm and enjoy the scenery outside. Is this some kind of paradise?
[Looking to add friends! Looking for people who enjoy farming games. I'm online every day and can help with watering and weeding. I absolutely won't steal your crops!!!]
