CHAPTER 661: CHAPTER 318: [THREE MODES, FIVE CONSTANTS·EARTH] (4K)_2

Then there’s no sense of excitement at all.

Playing games can be about torment sometimes, but when it’s time to feel good, you have to enjoy it.

So, releasing a preview in advance could be fine.

And...

To let Blue Star players directly in the game, choose one of the Six Major Federations of Blue Star for command.

It would provide players with a different kind of feeling.

This isn’t like other games where you build organizations or cities.... It’s about directly controlling any one of the Six Major Federations in the game, and then leading the Federation to attack Earth.

I’m afraid most players will choose the Federation they belong to, because who wouldn’t want to experience being the president of a Federation?

Even though it’s within the storyline.

The weaponry and equipment already publicly available from each major Federation can be rendered with ease, quite similar to Blue Star’s standards.

The sense of experience, satisfaction, and mission is maxed out.

After all, representing Blue Star’s Federation, if pushed back by Earth, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing?

However....

Shen Qinghan looked at the data from those different worlds.

It’s probably going to be a bit challenging too.

Shen Qinghan and Zhao Ming chatted for a while, planning the development steps ahead.

....

A few days later.

The Polestar Official Website posted the organized announcement on the website.

The discussion within the game forum was also extraordinarily lively.

In Fang Ming’s live stream.

He was browsing the Polestar Official Website.

Looking at the introduction, it mainly mentioned two game modes soon to be open, along with a teaser for a third mode.

Fang Ming commented:

"These two modes seem great."

"The first one looks highly playable, compressing the battlefield into a fast-paced military chess simulation, taking only twenty to thirty minutes per match."

"You can play it anytime."

"It’s not like in the storyline, where battles last several months."

The live chat comments swiftly scrolled by.

[Indeed, this mode treats battles like chess, which is very convenient]

[Additionally, key moments in the battles will trigger CGI cutscenes which both sides can see]

[The winning side will definitely enjoy the CGI, but for the losing side... tsk, it’s a bit tragic]

[Hilarious, getting caught off guard with a big move after being defeated]

[I’m suddenly looking forward to this]

[The second challenge mode is also pretty good]

Fang Ming also noticed the challenge mode.

Based on the categories of [History][Modern][Contemporary], famous generals are sorted from low to high, densely packed, with perhaps hundreds in each category at a glance.

Though the top-tier generals are limited, the lower the level, the more numerous the commanders are.

Those who could leave ordinary players bewildered are as plentiful as cattle.

Luckily, Polestar has limitations in place, otherwise, a few hundred wouldn’t fit.

Fang Ming took a sharp breath:

"Given this number."

"Reaching the top-tier general series in the challenge might take several months."

"However, this challenge mode is connected to the new mode."

Fang Ming looked at the official website announcement. Although the third mode wasn’t revealed, there was a space map of Blue Star and a massive space-time gate appearing above Blue Star.

Additionally, several big words were written below:

[Are you willing to control Blue Star?]

Looking at this teaser image, Fang Ming said:

"What the heck?"

"Let us control Blue Star?"

"Of course, I’m willing."

"But what does this mean? Is it an independent story where we control the Six Major Federations to start a Blue Star war?"

"If they’re doing that."

"Then Polestar is pretty hardcore."

As Fang Ming spoke, Blue Star netizens in the chat were also discussing.

It’s not impossible.

After all, the first new mode introduced is a large-scale World War II-style military chess simulation, followed by a challenge mode to face historical generals.

It’s all about cultivating players’ broad vision and grand strategy capabilities.

Looking at the third mode’s announcement, it seems pretty likely.

Could it be Six players start a game, each commanding a Blue Star Federation and going head to head?

Gasp—

Can’t fight in reality, so fight in a game?

This???

Somehow, Blue Star players were getting excited.

Yeah.

If it can’t be done in reality, then why not do it in a game? Plus, everyone is just a regular player, so no real worries."

But can it even get approved?

Won’t the Six Major Federations object?

After the excitement, Blue Star players calmed down, given it’s the first time this has happened.

Good heavens.

Polestar Company sure has the guts.

Letting players take control of the Six Major Federations in a storyline, will the higher-ups even agree to that?

Little did they know.

While letting Blue Star players control the Six Major Federations, they won’t be fighting amongst themselves, but against nations within the storyline’s alternately developed ’Earth.’

It’s not an internal Blue Star war, so they can turn a blind eye.

Moreover...

With an alternately developed Earth?

Now, not only are Blue Star players interested, but the Six Major Federations, after hearing Shen Qinghan’s explanation, also showed interest.

They asked Zhao Ming if they could arrange something for them.

To this.

Zhao Ming could only tell Shen Qinghan to handle it, mentioning to finish the [2022] storyline first.

After all, these alternately developed Earths.

Strictly speaking, they are far superior to the normal timeline [Earth].

Even post-World War II, in the [Empire-occupying Earth] where Europe was conquered by the Empire, for decades the people and soldiers within have a fanaticism for war far exceeding ’other Earths.’

Besides that, there’s a ton of black technology too.

If soldiers from Blue Star’s Six Major Federations were to experience it, they’d just get used to being drone-bombed, and upon entering [Empire-occupying Earth], they’d have to adapt to new ways of dying all over again.

Moreover, the [Five Constants·Earth] follows a developed version of the Five Constants storyline.

Despite Blue Star’s advanced technology and superior equipment.

Facing [Five Constants·Earth], they probably still have to take a beating.

But that’s not rendered yet.

Moreover, [2022] should provide enough training for the Six Major Federations.

Zhao Ming was focusing all efforts on the upcoming two new modes and the offline event hosting.

Shen Qinghan was also constantly traveling between his company and Polestar Company.

Mainly regarding the movie aspect, selecting the first batch of [Earth celebrities] to be rendered and produced into films.

According to Shen Qinghan’s plan.

The goal is to saturate the movie market completely, stacking numbers so that, in a short time, Blue Star’s movie market only features Polestar’s batch of biographical or narrative films on famous people.

And because they’re all interconnected.

Blue Star netizens, after watching one movie, might think of related questions leading them to watch another connected film.

With a huge base and connectivity.

Blue Star’s movie market will temporarily be monopolized by Polestar.

After riding this wave of popularity.

Subsequent releases can be more casual, and with Polestar taking the lead, other game companies will surely imitate, making future competition cumbersome.

So as long as the first wave is adequately consumed, the subsequent releases will leave a good impression and reputation with Blue Star’s audience and market.

Then future Polestar movies will not worry about audience reception.

Luckily, it’s just selecting characters, Shen Qinghan, along with Zhao Ming, took nearly a week to finalize all the legendary figures, leaders, and soldiers from [World War II] who can be rendered.

A total of more than 200 individuals.

It means Polestar Movies will simultaneously release over 200 films, enough for Blue Star netizens to binge-watch for a while.

After selecting the characters.

The rest was handed over to Zhao Ming’s side for rendering.

Rendering will be quite straightforward.

With the robust [database] backing, the entire life stories of these individuals can be rendered; it’s just the editing that is rather tedious.

Zhao Ming can only pour a huge number of films into the photon supercomputer.

Issuing analysis commands, and then roughly aligning with the movies’ tempo, to produce their lifetimes into films and biographies.

On the other hand.

Yu Feng’s live stream exposé also reached its final episode.
