Almighty Game Designer Chapter 251: “Minecraft” big data
In the studio.
The atmosphere is full of joy.
When "Minecraft" was released on the first day, everyone's atmosphere was a little dull. Although the sales were good and the game was a big seller, there was no big fire after all, and it was completely compared by "A Thousand Hells". Everyone's psychological expectations are still a bit lagging.
But the situation behind is very unexpected, and it keeps surprising people.
From the first week's data to the first month's data, the sales and flow of "Minecraft" have been rising steadily, and the popularity on major video sites, live broadcast sites, and game forums is also high. When it goes online for a month, Almost completely suppressed "A Thousand Hells"!
This also wiped out the somewhat depressed atmosphere in the entire studio!
……
Qian Kun is working hard to build a house in "Minecraft" on PC.
He still has a ready-made building blueprint in his hand. While comparing the blueprint, he builds it block by block in the game, very carefully.
Su Jinyu looked at him behind her back: "You are really patient."
Qian Kun focused on stacking cubes, and said: "It's okay. Actually, after discovering the fun of stacking cubes, it's really easy to get addicted. An afternoon passed without paying attention."
Zheng Hongxi said: "I think the bigger challenge than patience is how to withstand the blow from the store manager."
Su Jinyu couldn't help but laughed: "Yes, Qian Kun, you spent several days building this building. If you give it to the manager, it will be over in ten minutes."
Qian Kun was a little helpless: "Can you guys not hit me like this? The store manager...The store manager is a stranger, he is an open-ended player, I compare him, then I don't play any games." /
Su Jinyu nodded: "That's...By the way, what about the manager?"
……
On the second floor of the experience store, Chen Mo is making a video.
This time the video is rather special, not the architectural video of the Forbidden City or the Old Summer Palace.
The construction video was really shocking at the beginning, but after the players' ingenuity was fully mobilized, more and more professional construction teams appeared in the game, and good buildings were also emerging in endlessly.
Players have gradually accepted all kinds of abnormal buildings under the baptism of "other people's world".
What Chen Mo is going to do now is a promotional video that can make people feel the charm of "Minecraft" more than an architectural video.
In-game recording, editing, and post-production. Chen Mo took care of it all by himself. Anyway, it was not particularly difficult. Normal video UP owners could do it, and it was even easier for Chen Mo.
The production of this video is not difficult. The difficulty lies in certain in-game data and perspectives that only Chen Mo can obtain.
After reading it again, there is no problem. Chen Mo directly opened Weibo and posted the video to the Internet.
Now Chen Mo's Weibo has become the best way for players to learn about new games. Every day, many players will check Weibo if they have anything to do to see if Chen Mo has released the latest news.
As soon as this Weibo was posted, it quickly caused crazy reposts.
Weibo content: "Minecraft big data! Come and see what terrible things these bear kids have piled up!"
The players are a bit wondering, big data?
"Big data" is a relatively high-definition term. It is generally popular in the IT industry. It mainly refers to the sorting and summary of some very large data information, and analyzing some special trends and prospects from it.
Of course, this term is also abused, and it is also used to describe some relatively awesome data.
However, generally speaking, the game industry does not use the term "big data". Although the game itself has a lot of data, it is generally read by the designers themselves and rarely made public.
What is Chen Mo's so-called "big data"?
Click on the video.
The content of the video is nothing special, just some real scenes in the "Minecraft" game. The key lies in the information revealed in the video.
""Minecraft" was launched in January, and the cumulative number of players exceeded 3 million."
"At present, "Minecraft" has 30 world servers, with a total surface area of 3 million square kilometers, which is roughly equivalent to the total area of my country's marine land."
"The surface area of each world server is 100,000 square kilometers, which is about a province in reality."
"So far, the actual land surface area reconstructed by players of 30 servers is 158038 square kilometers, and the average land surface area actually transformed by each server is 5267.9 square kilometers, which is roughly half of the original planet."
"The average number of blocks that each player transforms (digs or builds) is 520,000."
"The player who has transformed the most squares is the player in server 1 [Lin Zhan], with a total of 1.483 million. If these squares are spread into a plane, it is roughly equivalent to 140 football fields."
"The guild with the largest number of modified blocks is the [China Geographic Association] of 3 servers, totaling 783 million blocks. If these blocks are spread out into a plane, it will be about the same size as the magic capital."
"You bear kids can dig so much, do your family know? (Manually funny)"
"Next are some interesting server ecology."
"Zone 1 is the first zone to open the service and is the home of architects. This is the zone with the most architects in reality (it is said). And these architects are doing their best to show off this game to us High-end architectural skills in the middle."
"For example, a city in the sky built entirely of glass, a deep cave of magma, taller and taller desert pyramids... It is said that these people have plans to dig through the entire planet and build a geocentric train. I I sincerely advise them not to do this."
……
"The largest guild in Zone 3 is the [Huaxia Geographic Association]. They are a guild whose mission is to transform the terrain of the entire planet. These manpower maps transform the terrain of the entire area into the terrain of China."
"Of course, this is a very ambitious project. So far, they have reconstructed many well-known terrains such as the Hengduan Mountains and the Tianfu Basin. However, for this reason, the technological level of this area is extremely backward, and it is still The era of cold weapons."
……
"District 7 is a concentrated area of militants. Every day, it is filled with chaos and explosions. The 13 big guilds are ganged up and down, fighting indiscriminately, putting the entire planet in the flames of war."
"Of course, District 7 is also the district with the best development of military technology. All the science and technology trees serve the war~IndoMTL.com~ At present, District 3 has four large airports."
"Zone 8 is a peace-loving zone. Their only fun is to climb the tree of science and technology, and their ultimate goal is to achieve manned spaceflight. At present, they are actively exploring the underground, searching for various rare mineral veins, and producing rockets. All necessary parts."
"Let us look forward to the moment when they can complete manned spaceflight and achieve a historic leap in the online version of Minecraft!"
……
"District 14 is the district with the most local tyrants. At present, the amount spent on the purchase of architectural drawings in the entire district has reached 1.94 million, although most of these drawings are not enough to build. (Manually funny)"
"The two local tyrants [Seraph] and [Milk Bread] in the other 14 districts are also the players who bought the most drawings. The former bought the entire central city, while the latter bought Stormwind City and Lordaeron. And all the buildings in the entire Western Magic District."
……
"The above is the status of each region, more exciting, all in the "Minecraft" network mode! PS, don't forget to go shopping in "Chen Mo's World"."
