Mingyan looked exasperated and quickly posted another blog entry saying: "[The new game is currently in development, don't worry.]"
The moment this blog post was published, the novelty of the previous one was immediately worn off.
Players, prone to fickle tastes, flocked to the scene, launching a new round of criticism:
[A new game? You idiot, do you even remember you're a game architect?]
Heavens above, earth below, and Chief Engineer Ming from next door—
etc!
Upon seeing this, Mingyan felt a chill run down his spine, fearing that these shrewd people might have discovered some clue.
But actually...
[Heavens above! Our neighbor, Chief Designer Ming, is already releasing twenty games a year! Can't you, with your Dragon Slayer Swords, learn from their advanced productivity? How can you still be stuck at the snail's pace of releasing only one new game a year?!]
Mingyan: "..." I'm not! I didn't! You're spreading rumors!
He looked up helplessly and realized there was no one else in the office, and there was no way in the world to help him get rid of the players who were urging him to update.
Muzan.
Furthermore, since someone mentioned Chief Designer Ming of Blue Star, the comments section quickly returned to its usual topic.
#Genius VS Prodigy#
Although there are quite a few players who are fans of both Earth and the Dragon Slayer Sword...
However, because the two studios have completely different styles of work, the two player groups are still clearly distinct.
There's a long-standing topic on the forum: as outstanding designers of the Sixth Star Province, who is stronger, Chief Designer Ming from Blue Star or the God of Wealth with the Dragon-Slaying Saber?
This issue has been debated for so long without a resolution, not to mention the people trying to take advantage of the situation...
Please stop arguing! They're a couple! If you want to argue, go home and close the door!
Clearly stated: "..."
He decided to shut down his blog and focus on his work.
As for the players' relentless bombardment... we can't see it! What we can't see doesn't exist!
Mingyan said that he was busiest about two things in July.
One is to continue improving the new game from the Dragon Slayer Studio, a dress-up game project, temporarily codenamed "Neon Garments".
Another thing is to keep track of the testing progress of Blue Star Studio's "Xia Ke Xing".
After the beta version of "Xia Ke Xing" completed its internal testing, the official website immediately began selecting beta testers.
The first batch of beta test slots is only 20,000.
Blue Star has opened up registration channels and then asked players to complete a series of tasks, such as bookmarking the official website and posting on forums, in order to obtain their own spot in the lottery.
Of course, the maximum number of times a person can draw is five.
If you don't win after five tries, then I'm sorry, please try again next time.
Yes...
There were just too many players signing up, and the system's random selection simply couldn't shut them up.
So Boss Ming came up with another idea: let the players draw the lottery themselves! If they get it, it's because they're lucky; if they don't, it's because they're unlucky. How can you blame us, the official team?
Everyone: "..." Holy crap, what a genius!
The truth is just that amazing:
When the system randomly selects players and then notifies them one by one, those who are not selected are always full of complaints—sometimes blaming the official for cheating, and sometimes saying that the total number of slots is too small.
But when players draw their own slots, it seems like the official channels have nothing to do with it...
They then began to study "metaphysics".
[I got it! I got it! Ahhhhhh! First, meditate and then offer incense to the portrait of the cult leader, and it really works!]
[Shocking secret! Sharing a newly discovered mystical principle: this gacha pool has a pattern!]
Actually, there are the fewest people online at 2 AM, so your chances of winning are highest then. Also, I suggest going two seconds before 2 AM, as the Blue Star server experiences a slight lag at that time...
These theories were so elaborate that even the staff on Earth were baffled.
—What? Our server experienced a two-second lag? How come we didn't know??
Thus, when players focus on developing mystical theories, they forget about probability.
Even though there is absolutely no difference between the two!
It's just another random number generated by the Blue Star server!
Chief Engineer Ming: 0.0 Yes, you're right. If you don't win, you can only blame your bad luck! What does it have to do with Earth?
Players: Ugh! Does praying to God work? Does praying to Buddha work? Does praying to Master Ming work?
The designers on Earth: ...The boss is still the best.
Absolutely breathtaking.
