Soon, the group left the venue one after another.
The remaining team leaders were reviewing the project proposal, occasionally making clicking noises.
He made it clear that he was going out to get some water.
Varian followed behind, watching him intently.
Without even looking up, Mingyan smiled and said, "Old Wa, what's the matter? You can just tell me directly."
Varian hesitated for a moment, then said, "Boss, I feel like you're acting a little different today."
"Have you become even more handsome?" Mingyan asked.
“No, I feel… you seem to have bigger goals,” Varian said. “The proposal for the new project is like a work of art.”
"Happy New Year." Mingyan looked at him and smiled. "Everything is renewed, and it's time for us to look towards the distant horizon."
Chapter 35 Module Launch
Two months later, summer vacation will be approaching.
The weather is gradually getting hotter.
Blue Star Studio was completely absorbed in the work atmosphere today.
During this period, two flagship mods for Minecraft were completed and tested by internal staff.
The official website of Blue Star, which was outsourced to a company for production, was handed over well in advance.
The account and community systems are perfect; we're just waiting for Mingyan to give the order and then open them to players!
During these two months, Cruise Capital's negotiation team visited twice, hoping to discuss the possibility of cooperation with Blue Star Studio.
In the eyes of businessmen, there is only profit, no friendship—giving up Li Sheng means giving up Li Sheng!
There are many people willing to get their hands dirty, and Li Sheng is one of them who doesn't have much talent. There's no need to feel sorry for him.
However, this continued until Li Sheng was detained for investigation and related funds were frozen.
Blue Star still hasn't given in.
Cruise Capital expressed "deep regret" about this, and then immediately turned its attention to supporting other promising games.
League of Legends' model is very innovative, and there are currently no qualified imitators—so they cannot get ahead of Earth and immediately enter the development stage of otherworldly games.
However, Minecraft is a game that has been popular for a long time, and there have been successful imitators on the market.
Cruise Capital selected two of them and supported them.
They develop new versions, promote them extensively, and then gradually encroach on the Minecraft market until they finally achieve an IP monopoly, making the vast majority of survival and building game players only play their games.
This model is very mature; all you need is a certain amount of capital and an operator with some experience.
Just when Cruise Capital felt victory was assured, Mingyan was still in a dark room.
— Closed-loop development is just a nice-sounding term used to describe a crazy development model where "everyone locks themselves in a dark room, doesn't come out until the work is finished, and doesn't socialize or have any entertainment."
The other members were gradually replaced and spent a period of time in the dark room.
Mingyan, however, provided guidance throughout the entire process and personally participated in the production, working tirelessly to fix bugs and conduct tests...
He ensured 100% participation in every step.
Xia Cheng often couldn't get in touch with Ming Yan, let alone anyone else.
In the end, Xia Cheng was so frightened that he simply sent a private doctor to follow him into the dark room.
Medical equipment monitors Mingyan's health around the clock, forcing him to eat and rest at precise times.
This is how the person's liver was saved from bursting...
On the day he left the dark room, Mingyan felt a little dizzy when he saw the sun outside.
He hasn't been exposed to pure, natural ultraviolet rays in a long time!
But the busyness these past few days has been worthwhile.
Two modules were released and received "S" and "S+" ratings respectively in the test group.
This means that every player invited to the test gave positive reviews! Even exceeding the studio's expectations!
After the game test ended, these players excitedly ran over to Mingyan to ask for his autograph.
They were players drawn from past Blue Star Studio fans.
Of course, it follows certain patterns—it includes exceptionally talented gamers, well-known streamers, and professional critics… covering multiple age groups.
The game critic in question was someone who was specifically chosen who disliked the original Minecraft.
When his VR glasses were removed, he was so angry his hair almost stood on end.
"Give it back to me! Give me just one more minute and I'll rush down the Lich! I spent two hours preparing the Quantum Armor set! Aaaaaaaahh ...
Because the player was too agitated, the staff had to put the glasses back in his hand.
The man hurriedly put his glasses back on before plopping down in a chair.
Once back in "his world," everything suddenly became quiet.
