God-level Game Designers Start From Scaring the Crying Anchor

After visiting the Forbidden City in "Minecraft", Xu Bao decided to go to Yishan to see if "Minecraft" could restore the magic of nature.

In Yishan, there are 88 peaks that exceed 1,000 meters. The average elevation of the three main peaks is more than 1,800 meters. There are a large number of cultural relics in the mountains, such as ancient footpaths, ancient couplets, ancient bridges, and ancient pavilions. , ancient temples, ancient pagodas, etc., and there are more than 300 existing cliff stone carvings.

The scenery is composed of "five wonders" such as strange pines, strange rocks, sea of ​​clouds, hot springs, and winter snow.

After landing on the platform in front of Yishan Mountain, Han Mei and Xu Bao went up the sightseeing mountain road all the way. The two found that "Minecraft" can still restore the natural scenery along the way as much as possible.

This is already a miracle for a pixel game with building blocks.

"I can see that the highlight of this game is not the graphics, but the high degree of freedom and creativity!" Xu Bao sighed.

"Yeah! Scenic spots like the Forbidden City and Yishan can be built, not to mention the others." Hanmei agreed.

The barrage in Hanmei's live broadcast room also became lively.

"The bigger the player's brain, the bigger the game changes."

"From Hanmei's visit along the way, it can be seen that even if it is to make a gunship, or even a Titan, it can be operated in the game."

"Although the picture quality of the game is not as good as those of the exquisite 3D modeling, the shock is not inferior."

"And as long as you take the time, players can also build such a landscape by themselves."

"Indeed. 3D modeling takes time to learn, not necessarily well, but building blocks in Minecraft is much easier."

In the game, Hanmei and Xubao continued to visit Yishan. Along the way, they saw the iconic welcoming pine and various strange rocks.

When you come to a higher place, you can also feel what is called the surging of the sea of ​​clouds.

Because it is a game, if you stop in some places, you can feel the changes of the four seasons and experience different scenery in a short time.

When I came to the hot spring, even if I soaked in the hot spring, I didn't feel anything, but there were still many players soaking in it, and they also sighed "so comfortable".

Sometimes sensory enjoyment can make the body feel comfortable too.

Han Mei and Xu Bao also followed the local customs and jumped into the hot spring.

Xu Bao took the lead and said: "This game is absolutely amazing, if I didn't see these scenery, I would have thought it was just an ordinary building block game, but after visiting these places, I found that the playability of this game is simply too great. big."

"Yeah! I thought that building a castle was already very good! It turns out that I am too small." Hanmei said.

A barrage floated over and said, "Young girl, you are not just a pattern."

"I found that the characters in this game are square-headed and square-brained, and they are flat and smooth everywhere. In fact, they are quite suitable for you."

"Forty yuan to visit so many places, it's not a loss!"

"The tickets for some attractions are more than 40 yuan!"

"I read the announcement of the game and said that the scenery buildings in the server 'Sparkling Prairie' will be updated gradually, and I may be able to play all over the world in the future!"

"Then this game is even more worth buying!"

Xun Ze didn't build the sights on the Starfire server, as well as the buildings in the game, but he didn't fake it. Everything the players saw can indeed be realized in Minecraft.

In order to build the beautiful scenery in reality, Xun Ze also specially found Misty Immortal Palace and explained the situation to them, saying that he had made a game of building blocks, and he needed to use the detailed data of various well-known scenic spots in Shending Kingdom. There are photos, videos, etc. from all angles, seasons.

When the people of Misty Asgard heard it, they finally had a chance to make a move. After communicating with Xun Ze, they found that if this matter was done well, it would affect the tourism resources and cultural heritage of Shending Kingdom. It will be a good promotion.

In addition, the detailed data of many scenic spots is not a secret, the Misty Asgard is full of firepower, and quickly collected all the information that Xun Ze needs and sent it to Xun Ze.

Or let people carry several hard drives with amazing capacity, go directly to Xingyuan Game Company, and hand things over to Xun Ze in person.

When taking over the heavy and classic suitcase, Xun Ze felt that he was not carrying a hard drive, but something like a high-tech weapon.

When asked why it was necessary to make this trip, the people from Misty Asgard said that there was too much information, and even if the internet speed was fast, they didn't know when it would be transmitted.

If there is any problem, it needs to be re-transmitted. In order to avoid delaying the progress of Xun Ze, it is better to have someone come directly with the hard disk faster.

After getting the information provided by the Misty Asgard, Xun Ze threw all the information to Emily, let her digest and absorb it slowly, and then built the scenic spot according to the content of the information.

With Emily's help, these attractions can be built quickly and accurately, which can be called equal-scale restoration. Even if Xun Ze wears the title of "Number One Player", there is no way to be as efficient as Emily.

However, Xun Ze is not without any effort. The novice haunted house in "Fear of Ghosts" that Hanmei first saw was built by Xun Ze himself. After all, this is the first game he made after crossing over, and it is worth remembering. a moment.

Originally, after the release of "Minecraft", whether it was sales, ratings, or discussions among players, it was in a tepid state.

But after the Sparkling prairie server was turned on, the popularity of "Minecraft" rose like a rocket.

Many players posted videos of visiting scenic spots on the Internet, attracting the onlookers and admiration of countless netizens and players, and the game media also followed up with reports.

And "Minecraft" is also very popular abroad, and because there are only the scenery of the Kingdom of God and Xun Ze's game exhibition in the Starfire server, many foreign players are very dissatisfied.

They think that their country also has beautiful scenery, Xun Ze, how can you not put the beautiful scenery of their country into the game?

Since Xun Ze, you only care about the beauty of the Kingdom of God, then they will restore their own scenery in the game.

However, no matter which foreign scenic spot is restored, it is not a small project. These foreign players not only united, but also began to call friends and form a team of engineering teams.

This has ushered in a surge in the sales of "Minecraft" abroad.

After Xun Ze learned of this situation, he opened another server and held the "Minecraft" First Water Blue Star Landscape Grand Prix on this server."

Contestants build their creations in competition suits based on the attractions of various countries, and all Minecraft players vote to see who can come out on top.

The works of the top ten winners can not only get a conspicuous display position in the competition clothes, but also a generous bonus as a reward. If they are willing to sell their works, they will sell a drawing for each drawing. , finished products, the winners can get 2% of the income.

This time, the emotions of players at home and abroad have been mobilized, and game sales have skyrocketed. After all, if you want to make a large-scale building like the Forbidden City, it is impossible to complete it in a short time with only a dozen people.

In less than a month, "Minecraft" sold 50 million copies, but the game sales also entered a plateau, not as crazy as it was at the beginning.

However, there are still professionals who speculate that, judging from this growth rate, “Minecraft” is still likely to sell 100 million copies, becoming the highest-selling game in history.

But they couldn't guess the exact time, because it was closely related to what decision Xun Ze would make next, and as soon as the matter was related to Xun Ze, everything they had learned before seemed to be useless.

Who would have thought that a building block game could sell tens of millions of copies and still keep its momentum.

However, there are also a group of players who are not attracted by the game.
