Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

Time goes by day by day, and the topic of "Minecraft" maintains a very terrifying popularity.

On major websites, as long as the content related to "Minecraft", the clicks are always high.

There are various construction videos in the game, as well as various funny videos, as well as guide videos for novice players.

It makes many designers in the game industry feel like hell.

...

With the passing of the annual vacation, the employees of various departments of Nebula Games have also joined the company one after another.

At this time, Qin Yi, Ruan Ningxue, Yang Xin and others stood behind Chen Xu, looking curiously at the screen in front of Chen Xu.

Steve was sitting in a tank with a huge boss in front, and there was a health bar UI on top of the boss's head.

The content of the game is very simple. Players only need to sit on the tank, constantly attack the huge monsters in front of them, and then avoid the TNT bombs dropped by the monsters.

It's very simple, but what makes everyone amazed is that this MOD mode was not made by Chen Xu, but by the players of "Minecraft".

And after this MOD was released, it also became the most downloaded MOD after several building complex MODs released by Chen Xu before.

It reached 2 million downloads in just one day.

"You can even drive a tank to fight a boss in Minecraft!" Ruan Ningxue, who was behind her, was surprised.

"It's not just about driving tanks to fight bosses. In theory, all types of games, whether it's RPG, racing, or FPS, can be displayed in Minecraft using the rules of the game." Chen Xu said with a smile.

Of course, the actual experience is definitely not as rich in feel and content as normal FPS, RPG and racing.

But the key point is that players play these types of games in "Minecraft", do they care about the feel?

What they care about is that the game Minecraft can still be played like that.

The experience is that distinctive feature.

Just like many players like GHS in normal games, but like to study the plot and philosophy of life in Little Butter.

Do they really want GHS and a philosophy of life?

No, they simply want something different.

This is the innate nature of human beings.

Originally, in Chen Xu's plan, he was thinking of sneakily creating some unique modes for the players.

Such as peekaboo, master architect, etc.

But now it seems that he has some underestimated players' creativity.

The MOD in front of me called "Tanks vs. Evil Little Monsters", although the content is very simple, obviously has opened a new door for "Minecraft" players.

Chen Xu believes that it will not be long before more unique MODs will appear.

"We don't have to worry about the rest, and leave everything to the players, but we must do a good job in maintaining the community and the game environment!" Chen Xu said towards the operation team.

Regarding the operation team, the most important thing is not the content operation of the game.

More importantly, it is a maintenance for the game environment.

For example, in the case of personal attacks, abuse, etc., players in the game will be punished with warnings, time-limited bans, limited-time prohibitions from entering online mode, permanent bans, or permanent entry into online mode.

Of course, unless it is the kind that has to be killed, basically it will not trigger the permanent ban and the permanent ban online package.

At most, it's just a limited time ban.

Hearing Chen Xu's words, the operation team also nodded.

"In addition, Lin Rou collects the situation of players on various online servers, and later can make a "Minecraft" documentary series, dedicated to the historical record of "Minecraft", including various players in the group. Stemmes, we can also make some series, such as the first player who digs three and fills one at night, the first player who chooses not to build a house, but directly places his bed in underground mines and caves, these can be Make a documentary that belongs to the history and memory of Minecraft players." Chen Xu said towards Lin Rou.

Regarding the game "Minecraft", Chen Xu knows very well how long its lifespan is. Even ten years after its release, its player growth has been positive every year, and it has even repeatedly created new active players.

And in the previous life, the sales reached 230 million, making it the highest-selling game in the world, and it is still breaking this record.

It can be said that this game is completely a miracle.

Therefore, Chen Xu will naturally not ignore the maintenance of the official community and the atmosphere of the game.

"In addition, the mobile version of Minecraft and the VR version of Minecraft can also be put on the agenda." Chen Xu looked at Qin Yi and others and said.

Among them, the mobile version, that is, the mobile version, is shared with the PC version.

That is, if you buy the PC version, you can play the mobile version.

However, due to the platform and hardware limitations, the mobile version will have more content castration than the PC version.

The first is the castration on the screen, the mobile version is definitely impossible to have the same screen as the PC version.

Secondly, the operation will be more painful than the PC version, after all, it can only be operated by using the virtual joystick by touching the screen.

In addition to the in-game mode, compared to the display mode in the PC version and the network mode, the mobile version obviously has no way to support it.

In addition to this, there are all kinds of MODs. Although the content of the gameplay data is the same, considering the performance of the hardware, many MODs that can run on the PC cannot be supported on the mobile phone.

If there is any advantage, it is that basically all players should have a mobile phone and can play Minecraft anytime, anywhere.

As for the VR version, this is much more convenient and easier.

Even on the VR version, it can present a better picture than the PC version, of course, the original configuration of the game is mentioned here.

After all, if you really want to talk about the highest picture performance, then whether it is PC or VR, you can make an unlimited DIY customization.

How high the machine's upper limit is depends on how big your wallet is.

But as far as the mainstream configuration is concerned, at this stage VR is still better than PC

Therefore, the content of the original "Minecraft" can be completely reproduced on the VR version.

All you need is to adapt the operation in VR mode. After all, using the sensor to play in the game compartment is different from the PC experience.

However, compared with the data of the PC version and the mobile version, the VR version will definitely need to be purchased for an additional fee.
