“Earth OL” 1.0 Update!_1 Chapter 1196: Chapter 1090: [Cradle Project] Officially Launched!
“Earth OL” 1.0 Update!_1 Players have sparked a lively discussion and analysis around the four words of the [Cradle Plan] announced by Lincoln.
There are three primary conjectures—
The first: A cradle for developers.
Its intention is to foster developers outside of Cloud Dream, and it’s very likely to “recruit the best” and absorb them into Cloud Dream.
Of course, it could be even more ambitious: incorporating everyone who joined the plan into the virtual world.
Given the size and profitability of Cloud Dream anyways, it’s no problem to take on as many people as they want.
The virtual world also truly possesses infinite space for development, so there’s no worry about having nothing for these people to do after absorbing them.
The second: the “cradle” specifically refers to the “mother planet”.
Players of “Gravity” have always complained about one thing, saying its ending is too abrupt.
The final “Return to Earth” part, is it really just dropping by the [Seaside Paradise] and calling it a day?!
Where’s the command center?
The launch sites?

The spacecraft production factory?
Even if all of these aren’t there, shouldn’t you at least provide a brand new landing area?
Using the same old place to cope with us, what’s that all about?
As we all know, Lincoln is a very determined person, also an intense internet surfer, he must have seen these voices.
And having seen, he probably couldn’t resist wanting to do something, like—
Radically transforming the “mother planet” of the virtual world, turning the Earth everyone saw in low Earth orbit into reality!
The virtual world of today, though expanding in size again and again, is still far from being “planet” level.
Maybe [Pandora] is an exception, but first—[Pandora] can’t be counted as a “mother planet”.
Secondly, in the hearts of the vast majority of players, the center of the virtual world has always been [Metropolis] and [Night City]—it might even be narrower, just Metropolis.
These two cities, due to their far superior content density and resident player traffic than other areas, indeed deserve this status.
That said, even combining other virtual cities and wilderness areas, together they don’t even match the size of a province in Daxia.
If they want to replicate the mother planet Earth, then they really can’t have too many people!
The last possibility is the third: “cradle” refers to the solar system.
In the space station that is now soliciting names, players are starting to make money, preparing to get loans to buy ships.
And when everyone has interstellar spaceships, the extent of everyone’s movements obviously can’t just be confined to the “Earth-Moon system”.
They certainly can’t expect thousands upon thousands of mining barges to make their way back to Earth to mine, can they?
Wouldn’t that be screwing us over?!
Therefore, the players’ activity area must inevitably expand to the entire solar system—at least half of it, so that they can mine on planets, satellites and asteroids rich in mineral resources.
So, isn’t it necessary to transform the solar system too?
These three guesses all got the players extremely excited.
And soon, Cloud Dream responded to these expectations—
At three in the afternoon, Cloud Dream made the first official announcement for the [Cradle Plan]:
To all esteemed game developers,
To enrich the ecosystem of developers in the virtual world, and to provide a richer and more interesting gaming experience for the 732.84 million users worldwide, the [Cradle Plan] was proposed by the founder of Cloud Dream and discussed at the Cloud Dream Developer Conference.
For the first phase, Cloud Dream will invite 20 development teams to join and co-operate on a large project.
During this period, Cloud Dream will provide essential development tool training and organize game development ideology sharing sessions to progress together with all developers.
The final products developed by each team, after passing a review, will have the opportunity to be introduced to a global audience.
Of the initial 20 invitation spots, 10 have been given to the top 10 development teams with the best overall level on the [Mod Sharing Platform], all of whom have accepted this invitation.
Therefore, [Cradle Plan] still has 10 invites left.
According to Cloud Dream’s consistent principle of fairness, these 10 spots will be open for all Daxia development teams to compete fairly.
The specific competition method is as follows:
[Click here] to download the application form, fill it out and submit it to the exclusive mailbox for the [Cradle Plan] ([email protected]).
Once the project team reviews and approves it, the [Project Development Requirements] will be sent out with the [Letter of Approval].
After receiving the development requirements, the enrolled teams can start working on the Trial Demo, which will undergo a small-scale trial and voting process.
The top 10 teams with the most votes will receive the remaining 10 invites and officially join the [Cradle Plan Development World].
(Note 1: If there are elementary, middle, and college student teams who need to balance their studies and development, please make this clear in the application form.)
(Note 2: If a development team has economic difficulties and cannot sustain itself but is keen to participate in this plan, they can apply for [Cradle Plan’s special subsidies].
Cloud Dream is willing to sponsor your dreams.)
(Note 3: Although the [Cradle Plan] is open to all development teams with development capabilities and past works, please note that this is not a project for beginners.
On the contrary, the project demands very high overall capabilities from its participants!
Please view this project objectively.)
(Note 4: This is the first time Cloud Dream is hosting this kind of project and we might lack experience, possibly overlooking some aspects.
To prevent any accidents, this plan is currently only open to developers who are living in Daxia and studios that are registered in Daxia.)
– Cloud Dream, April 17, 2031
——
Upon the release of the announcement, the internet, which was already buzzing, immediately reached a genuine climax–
“It’s too long, can someone translate it?”
“Why bother translating!
Read it yourself!
Somebody apply and get the project development requirements out so we can all have a look!”
“Feels like in a month, hundreds of new game Demos will emerge!
Everyone, I am so excited!”
“Is virtual world content really about to take a giant leap forward?”
“My wallet is aching already!
But I’m sorry!
ƝοѵǤ0.сᴑ
You’ll just have to bear with it!”
“Who can translate, I really don’t get the seven words [Elementary School Development Team]!”
“The foreigners must be getting antsy now, right?”
“They must be!
If I were an overseas developer, I’d book a flight right now and come to Daxia to register my studio!”
“Wait a minute…
in that case, if we also register a studio and quickly develop a simple module for release, wouldn’t we also be able to apply for this project?”
“Very likely!
Cloud Dream has always been easy to join but hard to stay on.
The first hurdle should be easy to overcome.
Being in the top 10 might not be realistic, but getting the [development requirements] is a big win!”
…
While players are passionately discussing, developers can’t even think about joining the discussion because they’re busy downloading the application form to apply.
And players who are quick to act, even call friends to register studios in an attempt to get their hands on Cloud Dream’s [development requirements] and deduce Cloud Dream’s future development plans from it.
“Cloud Dream’s Future Plan,” these six words hold immense charm for everyone!
But what everyone didn’t expect was– Cloud Dream’s move was just getting started.
An hour later, players didn’t get the [development requirements] of [Cradle Plan], but they received Cloud Dream’s second announcement:
[“Earth OL” Version 1.0 Update, and the Start of the First Phase of the Player Co-building Plan!]
