Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

On video websites and game forums, there are more and more topics and content discussing"Minecraft".

First, there are some posts about experience and teaching, as well as videos.

‘How to survive the first dangerous night in survival mode!’

‘What to do if you can’t find your home in the wild!’

‘《List of elements in the synthesis list of Minecraft’

‘A quick guide on how to get started in multiplayer mode!’

‘How should a new person enter"Minecraft"? '

Like most games, the first thing that appears are various veteran players who have already entered the game. After figuring out some gameplay and experience, they provide friendly guidance to new players.

Tell them exactly how to experience a game.

But after that, more content about"Minecraft" appeared

‘How to build beautiful buildings in Minecraft!’

‘Novice tutorials allow every player to build their own villa!’

‘Records: The First Day of Construction of Atlantis!’

‘On a new day, what should I do if I find that my home is surrounded by creepers?’

‘On the worst situations in Minecraft! '

More and more types of videos and discussion posts are constantly being posted by players.

At the same time, many players who felt the same way participated.

From the initial ordinary teaching posts to the later display posts, we will show some beautiful buildings built by some construction giants in"Minecraft".

In addition, there are some more ridiculous content.

For example, after the player built a house, he opened the door and saw a creeper standing outside. The creeper exploded before he could react.

It directly blew up a house and destroyed everyone.

If it's archived, that's fine, you can save it by loading the archive.

But if there is no setting to automatically save after sleeping, it will really make the players cry without tears.

As the game time progresses, there are no works of the scale such as the Forbidden City, Notre Dame de Paris, and Riverside During the Qingming Festival built by Chen Xu.

But some gorgeous villas and so on have been built by many construction giants.

These also allow players to continue discussions

"Recently, Sister Xin no longer broadcasts"Warcraft", and spends all day building houses in"Minecraft"!"

"Haha, I also read it. At first, Sister Xin said that she was going to build the ancient city of Loulan, and then it was changed to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses."

"Not only Sister Xin, many game anchors have recently started broadcasting"Minecraft"!"

"Mainly it’s still very interesting! I feel like I can play it alone for a year!"

"I looked at other people's houses and then looked at my own house. I was so angry. I obviously had a picture in my head, but when it came time to do it, I just couldn't make it!"

"Haha, give up, this game has two forms, one is"Minecraft" and the other is called other people's world!"

"Others’ world +1! It’s so vivid!"

Online players are discussing various content related to"Minecraft".

The popularity of the entire game is slowly growing, and it has even surpassed the situation when it was originally released.

And this is mainly related to"Minecraft" It’s related to the unique game content.

Every player can find their own fun in the game.

Although this is a game without a plot.

As a sandbox game, it doesn’t matter whether there is a plot or not.

The important thing is Can it bring enough freedom to players?

And"Minecraft" obviously does it.

In the game, players can build buildings, explore in survival mode, build together in multiplayer mode, and even deliberately cause trouble..At the same time, in the gaming community, players have begun to rent servers and play unique modes of play.

For example, hide and seek, and building a river to separate the two banks, and then players shoot at each other with bows and arrows.

These The output of content also further increased the popularity of the entire game.

What followed was feedback on sales.

"Minecraft" was launched a week ago.

Sales exceeded one million on the first day, and then dropped to 360,000 the next day.

But the sales volume on the third day remained at 320,000.

Then it bucked the trend and rose. On the fourth day, it was 340,000.

So far, the first-day sales of"Minecraft" have returned to 410,000.

And"My World" The overall sales volume of"World" has reached 4.81 million, and this number is still rising.

After this data came out, all designers in the game industry were confused.

A situation that was completely unexpected!

The sales volume on the first day was 1 million , although surprising, it is reasonable.

The sales volume the next day was 360,000.

This is normal.

But it is still selling. Chen Xu has not carried out any follow-up publicity, and there has not even been a version update so far..

How come"Minecraft" is selling more and more?

After passing a critical point, sales began to gradually increase again, and the popularity also increased?

What's going on?

Yilongli's eastward flow, this time is even more I'm stunned.

What's going on, what's going on!

Why is the popularity of"Minecraft" rising again?

Why is it so unreasonable?

"Teacher Xiang, are we...are we still promoting our game?"The assistant next to him looked at Xiang Dongliu, who was staring at the statistics on the computer screen with a shocked expression, and asked in a low voice.

"Go back... push back a little further and see what happens next in"Minecraft"."He hesitated, then Xiang Dongliu said.

After such a long time, the warm-up effect in the early stage was already very low.

But at this moment, Xiang Dongliu was really a little unsure.

This"Minecraft""What is the situation?

Like Xiang Dongliu, all game designers in the game industry are paying attention to"Minecraft" with their eyes wide open at this time.

Including some game designers mainly targeting VR platforms, this time is also I was shocked by the performance of"Minecraft".

I can't understand it! This is completely incomprehensible!

It can be said to be beyond everyone's understanding.

How can a pixel building game sell so well!?
