As a unique souvenir.
Hundreds of players have already chosen to take photos under that rough and simple logo.
The Blue Star logo will appear after the main title of the game every time, and it will change slightly depending on the theme of the game.
For example, the logo next to Minecraft is a pixelated, cute square blue star.
All these logos seem to bear witness to the history of Blue Star's development.
The first promotional video for the carnival featured a montage of these clips, combined with the most stunning visuals from each game.
In the blocky world, the player's first sky city;
The scene of the champion team lifting the trophy in the first season of League of Legends;
The CG of the end of the blue planet, the scene where the sacred white dragon gracefully emerges from the water;
...
Halfway through the video, players were already getting excited and got goosebumps all over.
Especially for those who have played every single game, many were already moved to tears.
Finally, a logo style that no one had ever seen before appeared—
The entire logo is black and white, with the pure white icon standing out against the dark background.
The promotional video ended there, but the players were incredibly excited.
Because this is clearly firsthand news about the latest game, "Souls"!
Sure enough, the knowledgeable host asked, "Chief Engineer Ming, what are the upcoming project plans for Blue Star Studio?"
"Next, we will further modify and improve the game version of League of Legends Season 3, while preparing for its transmogrification." Ming said, preparing to continue talking about the "Soul" matter.
But to everyone's surprise, the League of Legends players in the audience were already screaming.
The host excitedly asked, "Is League of Legends about to have another dimension?! Could you please tell us the expected release date?"
Mingyan smiled and said, "This question can be answered by our manager, Stephen."
He then turned the conversation to the designer next to him.
The latter, somewhat nervously, clasped his hands and said, "Yes, we do have this plan."
After uttering just two words, he had to wait for the players' cheers to subside before continuing, "We already have a suitable alternate world and are about to complete the purchase. The League of Legends is expected to complete the entire alternate world conversion process by the end of this year."
In the interstellar era, turning a VR game into an otherworldly game is an essential step for many successful products.
This can be compared to the process of a masterpiece that was exclusive to one platform being ported to all platforms.
The increase in platforms means that games can be played through a wider range of channels, players have more choices, and many slightly different versions will be produced.
However, when it's made into an otherworldly game, there are some special changes.
For example, the game experience is more realistic—
It transformed from a virtual VR environment into a real world that is visible, audible, and tangible.
The impact of the combat is also incomparable.
Although the gameplay is essentially the same, the experience is significantly improved compared to the original, making it a "deluxe upgrade".
Let's draw an analogy to the situation on Earth.
It's roughly equivalent to playing the same game on a low-spec machine with the graphics settings turned down to the lowest level.
However, after being ported to a top-of-the-line machine, the entire picture was completely different, almost like a different game, giving people the ultimate enjoyment.
Of course, due to the existence of marginal benefits, the cost has also increased several times over.
Of course, Earth can afford this cost now.
After two months of negotiations, Blue Star acquired a suitable small alternate world from the secondary market.
The purchase plan will still be in the form of installment payments, with a deposit of approximately 500 million yuan.
Bluestar has sufficient funds on its books, enough to last until the end of this year.
...Speaking of which, we have to thank Cruise Capital for their business plan.
If this major capital firm hadn't wanted to acquire Blue Star back then, and then used its strong resources and foundation to directly prepare a business plan for Blue Star Studio, the Legendary League's Otherworld transformation project wouldn't have been able to start so quickly.
This proposal is worth at least 100 million.
Mingyan happily began planning his next move.
Then the host quickly asked, "So I have to ask a question that players are most worried about right now. If Blue Star is going to make League of Legends into another world, will it affect the development of the new game? — In terms of time and funding."
This is a very real problem.
Mingyan thought for a moment and replied, "The project's timeline hasn't been finalized yet, but we'll do our best. If things go smoothly, the new game can be released during the Lunar New Year holiday next year."
Wow.
The audience immediately erupted in chaos, as if a swarm of ants had suddenly fallen onto a hot pan.
The entire venue was in chaos.
