_1 “Cloud Dream has replied!”
At [Qianshan Studio], the founder, Old Liu, jumped up in excitement, nearly leaping off his chair!
The rest of the team – about ten people – immediately jumped up, rushed over, and completely encircled Old Liu, scrambling to look at his computer.
Without caring about the crowd, Old Liu nervously clicked open the email with the response from the [Cradle Project], yelling out joyfully:
“We did it!
We made it through!”
The crowd surrounding him was also incredibly excited:
“Awesome!”
“We had to get through!
Our strength, it’s not just talked about, right?!”
“Exactly, exactly!
I told you so, we should definitely be in the reserved top 10!”

“No time for chattering, tell us about the development requirements!We are going to compete with the Demo, time is tight!”
…
Confidence was clear in their words, and such confidence was naturally backed by their work.
When Lincoln initially made a name for himself with “Traveler of the Wind”, creating a new path for “casual games” in the Da Xia gaming circle, imitating teams from the Bluebird Alliance were not few and far between.
They weren’t the quickest to react, but they were the most successful—
Their work, “Flying Bird”, not only followed the path and style of “Traveler of the Wind”, but also implemented their own innovation, significantly enhancing the environment and item interaction and enriching the player’s game experience.
This was highly recognized by players.

Even though it had a much smaller player base compared to Cloud Dream’s “My World”, it still relied on word of mouth and managed to sell well over 2.7 million copies!
This number seems insignificant when we compare it to with Cloud Dream.
But excluding Cloud Dream, this sales figure is noteworthy in the global gaming circle!
Even reporters from the Industry Observer had come to interview them.
To put it bluntly: it’s not that they’re not capable, but Cloud Dream is just too out of this world!
After the launch of the “My World” [Mod Sharing Platform], they were the first to shift their battlefield from independent games to mod production, and they successively released three mods.
It’s a bit of an exaggeration to say that they were all overwhelmingly successful—after all, competition with global developers is too fierce, but their income was quite substantial, and they acquired a group of users that could be called “loyal players”.
Therefore, for the remaining ten slots in the [Cradle Project], they are brimming with confidence!
“Ahem!” The leader of the studio put on a cough, and everyone immediately quieted down.
–It’s not about giving him respect, everyone wanted to hear about the [development requirements] quickly.
“Cloud Dream, in principle, does not restrict developers in terms of game development direction, theme, gameplay and style, but they have specific requirements for the underlying world view, long-term operation and charging method.
Underlying World View:
In principle, for games developed under the [Cradle Project], the setting of the story is required to be set on other planets in the Solar System other than Earth.
This includes constant stars, planets, satellites, and asteroids.
It does not strictly adhere to reality, as long as distinctive planetary features are retained, there is no compulsory requirement for the proportion of fantasy.
The timing of the story is not confined to modern times, it could be set in ancient times, super ancient times, the future, super future, parallel universe…
it’s all up to the developers.
Operation mode:
In principle, games developed under the [Cradle Project] must have a long-term operational plan that is in alignment with the [Virtual World Interstellar Ecological Environment] planned for the Giant Space Station.
This requirement does not apply to game design and development; it only asks for the game content created by the development team to not conflict irreconcilably with [Interstellar Travelers].
Charging Method:
In principle, games developed in the [Cradle Plan] will adopt a dual-track charging system—
Players who have not yet entered into the interstellar, after buying online, can directly log into the game.
Players who have already entered the interstellar can log into the game after landing their interstellar spaceship at the game area’s designated planet.
The airport staff will charge the fee after the spaceship lands.
Note: Interstellar travellers may land at any position, please consider the possibilities of player smuggling and armed attacks in advance.
Last but not…”
Reading up to this point, Old Liu suddenly stopped.
The colleagues who were listening attentively immediately glared at him:
“Keep reading!”
“What are you keeping us in suspense for?!”
“Hurry up, hurry up!!
If you can’t read, let someone else read it!”
Old Liu felt a bit wronged, because he wasn’t playing coy.
He was just too shocked because the content behind these [requirements] was:
“If there are special requirements and the demo quality is excellent enough, the operation and charging methods within the earth or outside the solar system can be discussed.”
“The only requirement is: for the sake of fairness in the competition, the project will be adjusted to the second phase of the [Cradle Project] release.”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and widened their eyes.
Does that mean as long as it’s outstanding, everything is negotiable?
As expected of Cloud Dream!
But just as everyone had this thought, Old Liu continued to read in an astonishing tone:
“If the Demo quality is [Outstanding], all the requirements above can be ignored.”
“The founder of Cloud Dream will listen to your requirements.”
“Cloud Dream will provide all necessary assistance.”
Old Liu’s speech rate got slower and slower.
The last two sentences were almost word for word.
Then, the office suddenly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone felt an incredibly pure force from these simple last three sentences.
Cloud Dream sets the rules, but Cloud Dream is also willing to break all the rules for outstanding works!
No one doubted whether this was a façade.
Because the ultimate masterpiece and swan song of VR games—”The Last Moment”—is an undeniable example.
The outside world might not understand, but everyone in the circle knows that Lincoln took the initiative to promote “My World” release earlier and postponed the open test of “Battlefield,” freeing up promotion space for “The Last Moment.”
After “The Last Moment” officially went on sale, Lincoln spent the night playing the game and gave a full score review.
Then, Jerome walked into the Feihu Headquarters the same day with his team.
Everyone knows what happened next: “The Last Moment” VR Environment Reset Version entered the virtual world!
“The Last Moment” thus became the first non-Cloud Dream produced VR game.
Throughout the development process, Cloud Dream provided technology, manpower, channels, and servers, yet still willingly handed over the majority of the profits to Feihu.
In business terms, this is not considered a smart move.
However, this matter solidified Lincoln’s standing in the Daxia game development circle.
Since then, no one has doubted Cloud Dream’s sincerity towards games.
Like now, no one would doubt the last three sentences.
Everyone not only didn’t doubt, but they also felt the sincerity and power contained behind these three sentences.
—With Lincoln and Cloud Dream’s strength, “all necessary assistance” is truly a formidable promise.
Of course, the only two bolded words in the entire development requirements—[Outstanding]—must represent an outrageously high standard.
After a long silence, Old Liu finally spoke:
“Damn, as expected of Cloud Dream!
So awesome!”
Everyone silently nodded in agreement.
It was indeed too awesome.
After saying this, Old Liu fell silent again for a while, then suddenly proposed:
“How about we turn ‘World of Bubbles’ into a demo and submit it?”
Before the [Cradle Project] was launched, their team had planned to turn a game concept that had existed in Old Liu’s mind even before the establishment of the studio into a module.
It is a world entirely different from Earth, where all life lives within a thick crust from birth to death.
Pioneers and heralds, conservatives and rebels, survival and development, technology and fire, history and future…
Everything is gestating and developing within the world.
They all hold high hopes for this project, believing that this module has the potential to become a new milestone in the [Qianshan Studio] and their professional lives!
But now, moved by Cloud Dream’s sincerity towards games, Old Liu’s idealistic passion reignited in his heart!
You want [Outstanding] pieces?
Alright then!
Come and see — whether our piece is good enough!
