Almighty Game Designer Chapter 237: Not tepid

After the new game launch conference, many media have successively exposed the latest information about the game "Minecraft".

The latest information about Chen Mo’s new game, titled "My World"

"Chen Mo's first VR game is fully exposed"

"My World: How to Play with Pixel Wind Blocks"

"Minecraft and Thousand Prisons will be online at the same time"

"Chen Mo praised Thousand Prisons at the new game conference"

These press releases basically disclosed some details of the press conference in all aspects, including the gameplay and features of "Minecraft" explained by Chen Mo, as well as some live videos.

Soon, the news spread among the players. Those players who were looking forward to Chen Mo's new game had mixed reactions, but they were somewhat surprised.

The first VR game made by Chen Mo turned out to be building blocks?

As long as players study these press releases carefully, they can basically understand the core fun of the game "Minecraft".

In essence, this is a game with "creation" as its core element. Like Don't Starve, it uses an open world as its main selling point and supports more complex networking models.

But even "Don't Starve" players are skeptical of this game.

"Don't Starve" is so popular because it is a small-made game that can be played on both PC and mobile phones, and the price is only 20 yuan, which is very cheap.

However, Minecraft is a VR game. Generally speaking, the current VR games on the market are very expensive. Like "Earth OL", the price is 399 US dollars, and these domestic VR game masterpieces basically hover between 1,000 to 2,000 yuan.

Like some domestic MM games, the price on the VR platform is relatively low, some are sold for 500 yuan, but there will basically be follow-up charges for those kinds of games, such as the sale of game points, value-added services, etc., otherwise It is difficult to recover the cost by relying on the price of the game itself.

Although the people who play VR games are some high-income groups, let them spend 1,000 yuan to buy a game of piles of wood?

It’s not so bad to have money, right?

On the forum, players are discussing. No one in the end will live forever

"What did Chen Mo think, in the critical period of entering the VR platform, he actually made a puzzle game with building blocks? To be honest, I have never seen a VR platform puzzle game making a lot of money. ."

"According to Chen Mo, this game cannot be simply regarded as a puzzle game. It is also a sandbox game, similar to "Don't Starve"."

"But the core fun is creation! Besides, the price of VR games is so high, how many copies of Minecraft can be sold? Can the cost be recovered?"

"I think it's okay to recover the cost. This game is pixelated. Many of the games are built by themselves. All the materials can be reused. How much research and development can this cost?"

"If it’s a mobile phone or a PC, it’s certainly not going to cost much, but if you change to VR, there must be some investment. And you can see the real game scenes on the video, the textures are very delicate, and it is estimated that Chen Mo has nothing to do with art. Spend less money, otherwise it is impossible to make Pixel Wind so beautiful."

"I think it might be several million, not more than 20 million at most. Hey, for Chen Mo, it's drizzling."

"Just count at 20 million. This is already very low for the development cost of VR games. Chen Mo can take the approach of small profits but quick turnover. At that time, a game will sell for 200 yuan. Isn't it a good thing? Those players who can afford a VR game pod, who cares about 200 yuan?"

"Hey, it’s not such a thing. Will Chen Mo worry about not making money? Even if the 20 million is thrown away for nothing, he won’t care much. The problem is, this is his first VR The game, in case you mess it up, you will be ashamed!"

"Moreover, it was launched at the same time as Yan Zhenyuan's "Thousand Hells". If sales and revenue are crushed, how ugly is this?"

"Hey, even if you are crushed by that time, you can say that what you are doing is a puzzle game, there is no comparison."

"Let's take a look, anyway, I am a poor person and cannot afford a VR game pod. If this game is done well, I will go to the VR Internet cafe to support it..."

……

Soon, "A Thousand Hells" and "Minecraft" began to frequently expose various detailed information. Although these two games did not mention each other's name in the publicity at all, the people who eat melon can see this. Both games secretly treat each other as their competitors.

Especially in "A Thousand Hells", various original characters, original scenes, skill effects, story backgrounds, and real game scenes have been exposed. The accuracy of the pictures is extremely high, and the game is full of coolness, which makes players enjoy watching. He loves you more

On the forum, players’ expectations for "Thousand Hells" continue to rise, and even the activation code for the internal test has been fired to two to three thousand, which is higher than the official sale price.

On Chen Mo's side, he is a bit tepid.

On the official website of "Minecraft", some basic information has been disclosed for a long time, but it did not deliberately make some very large-scale publicity materials. The only thing that can be obtained is the press conference. That CG video.

The reaction of the players to this CG video is also mediocre, because CG is the easiest thing to fake. There are many games, and the CG has been done so badly. The actual game scene is completely different.

What's more, compared with the CG of "Warcraft" and "Diablo", the CG of "Minecraft" is like the doodles of kindergarten children, it is really unattractive.

The players are also very confused.

Chen Mo has many ways to promote the game. When he promoted "My name is MT", he made his own animation, when he promoted "Warcraft" he published Alsace line drafts, and when he promoted "The Legend of Martial Arts", he wrote martial arts. The wind song "The Sword Like a Dream", "The Pure Land of Bliss" was released when the "Onmyoji" was promoted...

How come here in Minecraft, there is nothing left?

Let’s publicize it in a perfunctory way~IndoMTL.com~ How many people will pay attention to this game until the day of release?

Amid the confusion of everyone, Chen Mo finally took action.

At noon that day, Chen Mo suddenly posted a new Weibo: ""Minecraft": Forbidden City. Note: All the pictures in this video are real game scenes."

The people who eat melon are all dumbfounded, what the hell?

The Forbidden City?

Could it be that Chen Mo piled up the Forbidden City with building blocks in "My World"?

Players clicked on the video one after another.

Although there have been many games before, some real-life scenes have been made in the game, but they are all made by professionals, and many of them have only a layer of skin on the outside, which looks good, but in fact they can’t be seen Used in.

But "Minecraft" is a building block game. If even the Forbidden City can be built, does that mean players can play freely in the Forbidden City?
