This kind of "seclusion" was quite rare before Mingyan, and even the others felt that it had a mysterious and profound charm.
But in reality...
Everyone's state of mind when creating something is pretty much the same.
Scratching his ears and cheeks, biting his pen, staring blankly into space, chewing on his fingers as he contemplates his life...
And when he can't sit still, he stands up and wanders around the room.
Mingyan's office is easy to understand; it's all about games.
This includes game figurines, merchandise, posters, and more.
There is also a huge whiteboard covered with Mingyan's own manuscripts. If an outsider were to take a look, they would probably be completely baffled and find it unbelievable.
The top of it was filled with strange and unrelated names, such as "King of Science," "Deep Learning," and "Eliminated Ponytail"...
These were all key clues that Mingyan jotted down casually while using divergent thinking; he was aware of them all.
However, whenever other people come in, they look at the whiteboard with an expression as if they are reading gibberish, thinking that Mingyan's imagination is full of stars and the sea.
The rather straightforward Ling Xiaoman even secretly boasted to her classmates: "Let me tell you, Chief Designer Ming's brain is 1,200 times faster than an ordinary person's... When we see two straight lines, while I'm still considering the parallel lines theorem, he might already be seeing two string worlds colliding in his mind!"
At this very moment, Mingyan had already quietly opened the newly opened official forum.
The forum for "Soul" officially opened after the carnival, but it doesn't have an official name yet.
Loyal fans of Blue Star flocked to the new forum, first speculating about the new game, injecting considerable vitality into the forum.
Don't think designers don't read forums!
The most popular post I saw on the forum was the review of "Blue Star Apocalypse" recently released by the A-League Association.
Yes, that's right. Blue Star has been on the market for more than two months, and only now has the Jialian (the company behind Blue Star) finally arrived.
Since its release, the game has received several major patches, which have almost completely cleaned up all the bugs and minor issues. Therefore, the reviewers at the Alliance of Arms have played what is practically the most perfect version.
Yes, their reaction time is indeed that long, but at the same time, their scoring criteria are very objective and will not be easily changed due to external influences.
The Jialian League also gave "Blue Star Apocalypse" a perfect score of 10!
That's right, out of 10, they gave it a perfect score of 10.
This means that the game completely won over the professional and meticulous reviewers at the Jialian review site; they could hardly find anything to deduct points for in any small aspect.
It's important to understand that a perfect score requires several reviews and is not something that can be given lightly.
Throughout the history of the League of Legends Association, more than 100,000 games have been reviewed, but only a little over 200 games have ultimately received a score of 10.
All the works that received a perfect score ultimately achieved sales exceeding 10 billion!
Even the most niche or obscure works can generate huge sales in a short period of time as long as they are labeled with a "perfect score" from Jialian.
Historically, there have even been games that broke the 24-hour sales record in gaming history after their reviews were released.
That day's record was a single-day revenue exceeding 400 million! This is a figure that many games cannot reach in a month!
The rating given to "Blue Star Apocalypse" by the A-list community is just that exaggerated.
[Jialian Review Report: Blue Star's New Work "Blue Star Apocalypse", Total Score 10/10, Overall Rating: A Tearjerker Masterpiece You Can't Miss!]
[Visual presentation: 10/10, realistic and detailed]
[Music and sound effects: 9.5 points, meticulously crafted]
[Storytelling Experience: 10/10, Breathtaking]
[Game Fun: 9.5/10, Unique]
[Content Depth: 10/10; Not an otherworldly world, but even better than one]
Because of the perfect score, this time, in addition to the main reviewer, there were many other reviewers listed.
The former recorded a short video for the game.
In the video, he said, "In the first half of this year, I can say that 'Blue Star Apocalypse' is the most surprising work for me. Ming, the chief designer of Blue Star Studio, once again proved his genius in story-driven games. Just like 'Hachiko's Story', it makes the player's emotions rise and fall with the development of the plot, making it hard to put down."
The video then switched to footage of the actual gameplay.
The reviewer provided brief comments on various aspects of the game, explaining its strengths and weaknesses.
"...Of course, the one or two flaws are minor compared to its overall excellence. This is a true masterpiece of storytelling, achieving perfection in every aspect. The sincerity shown in many details is truly remarkable—what impressed me most were the rich and vivid details in the game; I almost suspected that the chief designer, Ming, had actually lived in such a post-apocalyptic world."
"In conclusion, this is a film that should not be missed. Out of 10, this is the best and most reasonable score we can give."
The rating from Jialian Dad was met with overwhelming force, completely dominating public opinion.
So far this year, only two games have received a perfect score.
The more than 100 billion players in the Chaoyang Alliance have been eagerly awaiting the rankings of this year's Jia League!
This evaluation, once released, burst into everyone's view like a dark horse.
Blue Star Studio's reputation in the local area is indeed at its peak, but it has not yet been able to extend its influence beyond the Sixth Star Province.
While the last Minecraft game was a great success, it was unfortunately just a niche gem, not a AAA title.
However, "Blue Star Apocalypse" is different. It is a large-scale game with high cost, high quality, and large scale, and it is already qualified to enter the Platinum Hall of Fame ranking.
