Game Making: Start By Healing the Player

After choosing the single-player mode, the first thing that appeared in front of Wang Han was the choice of a character.

The male default is a look called Steve, and the female is a look called Alyx.

However, it can be customized to pinch the face.

Wang Han took a look, although it is a pixel-style game, and the character's head is also a square.

But the distinction between eyes, eyebrows, mouth, and nose is also very detailed.

The original Steve and Alyx skin prototypes were not used.

Wang Han recreated a character for himself, and then entered the game with the name 'Master Architect'.

After all, she watched some promotional content of "Minecraft" before, and this game seems to have the content of building a house.

Although it is not clear how to play, but the name is good to say.

After all, having a good name is half the battle.

She even thought about Zhang Yi's name, so she was called the foreman.

She, a master architect, has designed the house, and someone needs to do the construction.

Thinking to herself, after entering the game, a pop-up window popped up prompting her to choose a mode to play the game.

There are 'creative mode' and 'survival mode'.

However, after seeing the so-called creative mode, which is equivalent to the invincible mode, Wang Han quickly made a decision: "Let's play the survival mode first, it sounds like it should be a little more challenging."

'Detect your first entry into survival mode, do you need to know some essential basics? ’

After Wang Han determined the options and generated the world seed and entered Minecraft, a prompt pop-up window appeared.

This is triggered every time a new account enters the game. It is mainly about some basic explanations of "Minecraft", so that players can understand how to play in the survival mode, and some basic operations.

For example, how materials are collected, how tools are made.

Although "Minecraft" is a sandbox game, it is the most free sandbox game.

But freedom does not mean that no novice teaching is required, and it does not need to be lengthy, but at least some basic concepts and operations still need to be introduced to players.

Wang Han thought about it and chose yes.

Next is the official game session. According to the instructions of the system, Wang Han simply operated it.

There are also jumping and running.

Very simple and nothing special.

At the same time, in the game, the UI is not very complicated.

Mainly concentrated on the bottom of the screen, the bottom is the props bar.

It's empty now.

On the top left of the item bar is a red heart, which represents the life value in the game.

On the right is the big drumstick, which represents the hunger level in the game.

There is also something similar to the experience bar, but the game does not seem to have the content of upgrading and adding attributes, which makes Wang Han a little confused.

But if you don't understand it, don't think about it, just play it first.

"The next thing to do is to pick up trees and collect wood first. Sure enough, no matter what game it is, if you want to get rich, you must pick up trees first."

Wang Han sighed and prepared to follow the prompts to roll two trees.

Looking at the surrounding environment, she is now standing on a hill, and the entire hill is made up of countless squares stacked.

There are many trees on the hills and the plains, and a sea can be seen in the distance.

Without any hesitation, Wang Han ran towards the direction of the trees.

Came to a tree, pressed the left mouse button, and then she saw the right hand of the pixel villain in the game stroking the tree back and forth at a very ghostly speed.

The right hand kept swiping back and forth, and at the same time, the block that was swiped in the game quickly showed a mesh crack, and then suddenly shattered and scattered on the ground, turning into a very small block.

Controlled the character to walk on it, and then the small square entered his backpack.

And a wood chart option automatically appears in the item bar below.

Wang Han selected the wood from the inventory, then tried to right-click on the ground and saw a standard cube appear in front of him.

"That's how things are built in games!"

"These grids are the range of units for construction."

Looking at the cube of wood that appeared in front of him, Wang Han instantly understood the basic rules of construction in Minecraft.

"The rest is to turn the wood into planks and make a tool bench."

"After that, I can start my construction journey. What's the point of building a house in creative mode, watch me build a Lothric city in survival mode!"

After turning the wood on his body into four planks, and then building a tool table to put it down, Wang Han is full of fantasy about the future construction journey.

"Well, now I can make more things, sticks and then combined with wooden boards, can make more things."

Wang Han looked at the prompt of the system, and suddenly felt in his heart.

She is not very unfamiliar with this.

As in Don't Starve, a lot of things need to be built.

For example, cutting down trees requires an axe. In Minecraft, although you can dig a tree with your bare hands, it is limited to trees, soil, and gravel.

If it is stone and coal, it is possible but it will take a long time.

I made a tool table with the wood in my hand, and then made a wooden axe and a wooden pickaxe from the tool table.

Then a pop-up window continued to pop up in the game.

"Hey! Is this the end of the beginner's teaching guide? Is this game so simple?"

Looking at the pop-up window that popped up, Wang Han was surprised to find that the novice guide for this game had ended.

Can't say the end, because it also reminded her what to do next.

And there are text prompts.

In fact, this is what Chen Xu intended.

Let players understand how "Minecraft" is played, and also understand that various props need to be synthesized.

That's almost enough.

In addition, the game also has a built-in synthesis table.

Of course, in the synthesis table, Chen Xu did not directly put everything in front of the player.

More is just the formula needed in the early stage.

Such as torches, beds, doors, etc.

As for some of the more advanced ones, players still need a little bit of mining to unlock in the game.

"At night, monsters will appear in the game, so you need to have a house and a bed. You can spend the night by lying on the bed at night. If you don't have a bed, you need to wait slowly."

"Blood volume and hunger, just like "Famine" is to eat."

Combined with the pop-up prompt that just appeared, Wang Han soon understood a basic rule in Minecraft.

"Chop some wood first, and build a house before night comes."

Wang Han quickly made a decision.

As for the bed, she looked at the need for wool and wood.

Wool naturally comes from sheep.

But she also looked around and saw no creatures like sheep other than trees.

The pig saw some, so she killed several pink little pigs with a knife, and harvested some meat, at least she would not be hungry.

Of course, it could also be because she hasn't gone too far.

But for Wang Han, the top priority is still to build a house.

The goal of Lothric City is too big, let's make a warm home first.

After all, big goals start small.

With good expectations, Wang Han took the axe and started to smash the tree.

Once you have collected a hundred or two hundred pieces of wood, you can find a better location to build a cozy nest.

Looking at the increasing number of wood in the item bar and the durability of the wooden axe, Wang Han also showed a delighted smile.

She didn't even think about why she didn't dig some rocks, but got a stone axe first.

Because now she only has one thing in her mind, and that is what kind of house she wants to build.

Is it simple European style, classical European style, or traditional Chinese style and post-modern style?
