Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Whether it's a private server, a single-player mode, or an official server, it's full of very excited players.

Without exception, all players who visited Chen Xu's buildings on the display server immediately entered "Minecraft" with an excited heart, ready to show off their skills and create the buildings in their minds. .

In the office of Nebula Games, although it is the Spring Festival, considering the importance of "Minecraft" to the development of the Nebula game platform.

Therefore, Chen Xu also talked to everyone in the team about working overtime during the Chinese New Year. Of course, it didn't take too much.

It is mainly responsible for various contents during the Chinese New Year. The employees who are on duty during the Chinese New Year who live in the magic capital can work on duty, while the non-local employees can go back to the Chinese New Year and work from home.

Of course, the corresponding welfare plans are also complete. In addition, the year-end bonus was just issued a year ago, and many people are still willing to stay and work overtime.

Even because the willing people exceeded Chen Xu's expectations, he had to choose by lottery. Of course, it was mainly because of the sufficient overtime pay and various benefits.

Walking out of the office, Yang Xin greeted him excitedly, Qin Yi, Lin Tao and others were also beside him.

The big guys also live in the magic capital, and now everyone is full of excitement.

"Mr. Chen! The current sales volume has exceeded 3 million! According to today's trend, it is very likely to exceed 4 million!" Yang Xin said excitedly.

The rest of Qin Yi and others were also full of excitement.

"Well, let's pay attention to the server side, and the backup server can also be started." Chen Xu nodded, indicating that he knew what he had told Qin Yi and the others.

"Mr. Chen, aren't you excited?" Yang Xin looked at Chen Xu in a daze, including Qin Yi and others beside him.

The first-day sales may reach 4 million!

It can definitely be regarded as a shocking number in the game circle.

Although the price of "Minecraft" is a lot cheaper than large games, the sales are real.

It might even hit the sales volume of 10 million in the first week.

"Don't forget, "Minecraft" was pre-ordered a month in advance, and it's just the beginning. There's no need to be so excited. Even the overseas version hasn't been launched yet." Chen Xu was very calm. .

Previous videos such as Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival and the Forbidden City have played a very good role in publicity.

Coupled with the reputation of Nebula Games all the time, "Minecraft" has only reached the terrifying stage that it looks like now, including the sales of the first day and the previous pre-orders.

But Chen Xu knew that it was still just the beginning.

These videos just show the potential of the game, but you can really feel the fun and charm of the game, but you can only feel it if you fully participate in it. This is a very playable game and the more you play, the more fun it is.

At this stage, I can only talk about a good start. Even in the current creative workshop, there are only a few building group MODs that Chen Xu put in.

At the same time, Chen Xu also made some settings for MOD.

That is to protect the rights of MOD authors.

For example, the MOD author can set whether subsequent players can make changes to the original MOD.

Player A built a castle, but player B just changed some things on it, and then treated it as his own MOD, this situation will be bound.

After the player builds the corresponding building, he or she can set whether other players can perform secondary creation after uploading.

There is also a community for "Minecraft", Chen Xu also set up a special department to maintain the community.

The reason why "Minecraft" in the previous life can be so popular is completely inseparable from its good community environment.

After chatting with Qin Yi and the others about the current situation of Minecraft, Chen Xu also returned to his office and opened the management background of Minecraft to check the relevant data in the game.

At present, the official server has mainly opened three groups.

Survive, create and show.

If it is displayed, it is a server where buildings such as the Qingming Riverside Map and the Forbidden City are stacked, and players can visit them freely.

As for survival, it is a large server that can accommodate 2,000 people. There are no hard and fast rules in this mode, and it all depends on the players' own development.

The entire game world is a huge map, and the map appearance is also randomly generated.

Players in the game also randomly assign a map location.

Of course each player will be surrounded by many other players.

Because it is a multiplayer mode after all, if you really start with a pair of fists, you will be able to meet other players when it develops to a certain extent.

Then there's no need to put it in multiplayer mode.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, when players in the early stage are collecting materials, they are basically able to encounter other players.

At this time, it is a group to keep warm, to be hostile to each other, or to develop separately. This is a choice for the players themselves.

In this regard, Chen Xu and Nebula Games will not do anything to interfere.

Of course, the server capacity of 2,000 people is the upper limit to the end, and there will definitely be players leaving.

But in fact, in the plan, as long as one-tenth of the players stay, it is completely sufficient for the ecological environment of a server.

However, in addition to this kind of unrestricted server, there are also servers specially prepared for players who like to build houses and build peacefully.

In these servers, players cannot attack each other, and of course the monster settings are still retained.

At the same time, in order to prevent the bear children from destroying their own homes in the game, players in the peaceful mode server can set the building to not be damaged by others, and have a skill that can save the building at a specific point in time, which is equivalent to the setting of the archive .

It can be used infinitely in the peaceful mode, but in the normal multiplayer mode, there is a CD time, and the building is not indestructible mode, but according to the material used in the building, there will be a special durability, other players Demolition requires specific tools, and the speed will be relatively slow.

In addition, no matter which mode it is, players in the game can save their data as an archive and transfer it to the single-player survival mode, of course, only in one direction.

In the past life, although these gameplays existed, they were only private servers in the community. For these settings, Chen Xu estimated that some players would like them, but there would also be players who didn't like them.

But it doesn't matter, because the core of "Minecraft" itself is freedom.

You can't say which mode is the real way to play Minecraft.

In addition, there are some follow-up mini-games to play, but Chen Xu is not ready to release these contents in an official mode.

After all, it relies on official guidance in the early stage, and more on the strength of the player community in the later stage.

Of course, Chen Xu is not unprepared. If he really can't, he can use his private account and pretend to be an ordinary MOD maker to publish it!
