The second poster uses a real photo of the starry sky, which has been specially processed.
Two starry skies were circled, marking the borders, and were colored red and blue respectively, clearly belonging to two different factions.
Right in the middle, on the intersecting border, are two densely packed arrays of spaceships.
The vastness of the battlefield and the sheer number of soldiers were enough to make one's scalp tingle, giving the feeling that one was about to witness a battle of the century.
Then, this poster didn't even have the words "Galaxy" on it; instead, it quietly placed a button in the lower right corner:
[Next round]
The two posters were quietly placed on the official Blue Star blog, and sure enough, they were flooded with enthusiastic players in no time.
Comments poured in:
[Holy crap!! I was just planning to urge for an update today, but as soon as I opened the app, I saw this trending topic!]
[New game! New game! We need more updates! We need more updates!]
[This must be produced under the supervision of the cult leader, right? I knew he didn't like making a second game based on the same theme!]
[I'm guessing it's the sixth brother, does anyone remember the sixth brother?]
[This looks exciting! Is it a multi-nation war?]
[I hope this isn't a money pit like the one next door, "Dragon Slayer Sword" (a popular mobile game). I've been ripped off so many times; I lost thousands in just one day. Don't even think about it if you're not rich...]
[Shouldn't this just be called Star Wars?]
As the conversation went on, someone kept bringing up that money-grabbing genius studio again.
Although the final proceeds from "Iron Horse and Ice River" were donated to Morningstar Science Park, which incubated many excellent products.
But for players, this is still a game you can't play without resources...
Recently, I heard that the major "dynasties" in "Iron Horse and Ice River" have basically swallowed up all the casual players.
Of the 100 sub-maps in the entire region, 88 have been directly occupied by wealthy players who have declared themselves emperors, commanding tens of thousands of player city lords and managing tens of thousands of cities in their own territories.
They can be considered the feudal lords of the game world.
The remaining areas are all alliances formed by individual players who couldn't stand the pressure. Although the structure is slightly looser than the dynasties of the rich players, the advantage is that there are fewer rules, which attracts a large number of mid-level players.
There are more mid-level players than whales, and there's no need for them to work for the whales.
They're just here to enjoy the game and are willing to invest a small amount of money in their alliance.
There is strength in numbers.
Therefore, the Alliance of Casual Players can be considered a neutral force that should not be underestimated.
Recently, the scale of national wars in "Iron Horse and Ice River" has been expanding, and the simultaneous display of tens of thousands of players on the same screen is no longer a thing of the past.
When major dynasties clash, they can mobilize tens of thousands of people at 2 a.m., and in the game, it's not difficult to gather an army of hundreds of millions.
In fact, many of the actions of the dynasties influenced reality.
In reality, a viscount title in the "Sun Heaven Dynasty" is equivalent to a white-collar worker with an annual salary of 200,000 yuan.
During the war, if someone was appointed as the marshal of a legion, this qualification could be included in their resume, allowing them to directly apply for a job in a company under the dynasty and start from a management position.
For example, if the resource cities of certain dynasties were destroyed, the lost resources could be directly converted into real currency losses, amounting to hundreds of thousands or even millions.
In the end, no one dared to call these games virtual games anymore.
It's basically a war of the rich happening in another dimension...
Ordinary players, who are far removed from the national war, can now watch the show with a more relaxed mindset after leaving the game world.
The two dynasties clashed again in the middle of the night, fighting for three days and three nights, destroying more than a dozen cities.
Tomorrow, someone will start a war and dig up the dam that someone built last year, causing the resource harvest in XX district to be halved, and then the local bullies will declare war on them again.
Last month, another tycoon boosted the war bonus, and now the top contributor on the monthly contribution leaderboard of their xx Dynasty can directly choose to transfer a house from the boss...
That world of swords and horses is becoming increasingly distant from ordinary players.
They're currently gossiping and discussing it:
I wonder if Chief Engineer Ming will ever try this kind of game... He's probably a super-rich guy, right?
Could it be that the game's leader couldn't stand the looting methods in "Iron Horse and Ice River" anymore, and decided to create a more ethical national war game himself?
[Waiting eagerly for the new game from Earth.]
These players were like little animals who had been wronged at someone else's house, so they ran back and gathered at the door of Blue Star's house, eagerly waiting for the leader to start the meal.
The rice is still steaming in the pot.
Mingyan looked at the schedule and estimated that the beta version of "Galaxy" should be ready before May.
The beta version is basically able to complete and test all the single-player content.
The online version will take a little more time—after all, the tabletop role-playing game assistant program didn't consider this aspect of the architecture.
When Galaxy is released, there should be two modes available first.
The story mode is a pre-designed space sandbox that allows players to freely choose a nation and find a breakthrough in various situations to lead their nation to victory.
