For experienced programmers, the natural instinct is to go straight to their peers and participate in the discussion.
Every year they have to attend relevant summits, and several bigwigs from Blue Star have already given speeches on stage many times.
Blue Star's development technology is now at the pinnacle of the industry, mainly because their design concepts are so cutting-edge that they guide their technological direction ahead of others.
Meanwhile, Mingyan was surrounded by his colleagues.
Many designers are rather shy and may not be very talkative when alone, but they can be quite boisterous in a large group setting.
These designers who came to attend the A-League ceremony should all be well-known figures in their respective fields.
Now, big shots are lining up to get Mingyan's autograph, and almost every one of them is carrying a collector's edition of Blue Star's new game.
This signing never ends; every time you meet a new person, you have to exchange business cards and get their autograph again.
After signing in, the secretary said angrily that the makeup time was almost over, "Boss, you'd better lay low for a while! Next time before you leave, get a few hundred autographs from him first, then just have them come to me for autographs!"
“…” Mingyan was also at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
The reason why so many people came for autographs this year is probably because Ming-yan participated in several interviews and programs.
After all, he was exposed at the beginning of the year and needed some channels to explain to the players to avoid unnecessary trouble.
As a result, after appearing on the show and having their mysterious veil lifted, everyone was no longer facing the enigmatic God of Wealth, but rather the more familiar and approachable Chief Engineer Ming, and they immediately relaxed.
Before the summer vacation, Mingyan went back to participate in an academic program at his alma mater and had a close conversation with the students from the past two years.
...The students' enthusiasm was almost overwhelming for him; these children seemed to be worshipping him as if he were a god.
I heard that the speech I gave at my alma mater ten years ago is still being revisited and viewed, and has accumulated billions of views to date.
Left with no other choice, Mingyan also revealed a little bit of his work plan.
He is considering compiling some of his notes and insights into a tutorial book, such as "Introduction to Game Design," which is expected to be published next year.
When this news came out, not only did the students exclaim in surprise, but the gaming industry was also thrown into a frenzy of excitement.
Mingyan hasn't even started writing the book yet; he's only just created a table of contents and outline. Meanwhile, the editors at Atlas have already begun:
[Is the game design bible coming soon? You're missing out if you haven't pre-ordered it yet!]
Suddenly, Mingyan felt that the burden on his shoulders had become much heavier.
He's been on vacation for the past two months, and even when he sits on his bed at night, he doesn't forget to open his notebook and slowly organize his notes from the past ten years.
Xia Cheng craned his neck to look: "Let me see, let me see! Teach me something! My previous work, 'Little Cat's Interstellar Adventure 12,' already got a 6.0 rating! If I learn a couple more skills, maybe I'll reach the Platinum Hall of Fame!"
Mingyan laughed so hard she was slumped over him and couldn't get up.
...
It's still uncertain when Xia Cheng's "Game" will enter the Platinum Hall of Fame, but Lanxing's "Hunter World" has just received a perfect score of 10.0 and has been officially moved into the Platinum Hall of Fame.
This was the only perfect masterpiece of the year. Everyone present at the Jia League gala remained calm, each with their own thoughts on the final result.
Hunter World is definitely the best of the year.
However, when the lights suddenly dimmed, golden confetti rained down, but the Hunter World footage did not appear on the big screen for the time being.
A few small gasps of surprise rippled through the crowd.
What people see is that it starts with the simplest block, from which Steve, the protagonist of Minecraft, climbs out, picks up a stone pickaxe, and runs happily.
He passed by the battlefield of League of Legends, where familiar professional heroes were fiercely sparring, and the rainbow light of magic knocked off Steve's hat.
Then there's the famous Blue Star Wasteland, where a giant white dragon sprays a jet of water, pinning a rainbow to Steve's forehead.
In The Mortal Souls, the final boss, "The Outer God's Shell," smashes Steve off the screen with a single blow.
Then he got up again, began to use his lightness skill, and leaped onto the Forbidden City in the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", overlooking the entire magnificent ancient city.
As Steve leaped down, he donned the assassins' uniform again, shouted "Truth alone shall endure!", and rushed through a door.
After walking through the corridor of "Inside," Steve finally pushed open a rainbow door;
Behind the door, lush green grass, birdsong, and fragrant flowers unfolded, revealing a realistic hunter's world.
Applause erupted from the audience.
Everyone looked in the same direction and smiled from the bottom of their hearts.
A golden light locked onto Mingyan, who was sitting on the Blue Star & Dragon Slayer Saber seat, and Xia Cheng, who was standing next to him with a proud expression.
The background music is the theme song for this year's League of Legends tournament: "Legends Never Die".
The host slowly said:
"His works are characterized by a rich and distinctive style, with a grand world-building, delicate and profound plot descriptions, and imaginative design ideas, representing the highest achievement of contemporary game architects."
"He possesses the true spirit of a game developer, working diligently and professionally for ten years, bringing us one unimaginable masterpiece after another, and opening up many design paths to the future, leading many game developers to move forward continuously."
"He is a symbol, a mark, and a milestone of an era; his works are timeless classics in our hearts."
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first time in the history of the Gaming Industry Association that the 'Platinum Achievement Award' has been presented. This is an unprecedented individual award, symbolizing the highest honor in the gaming world. Now, let us welcome—"
"Blue Star Studio, Ming Yan, Chief Designer Ming!"
