Chapter 204 The choice is: "Minecraft", monthly pass)
There is no complete explanation to the curious people.
After chatting for a while, Chen Xu went back to the office by himself.
Relying on the chair, Chen Xu looked at the platform data that Lin Rou had just sent him on the computer, and then narrowed his eyes and thought.
The Nebula Game Platform currently has 91 million registered users.
For daily active users, it remained at around 17 million.
The highest peak of the number of simultaneous online users was the peak of 4.1 million after the gameplay exhibition last year.
Of course, this number is not a game, but accumulated by users of multiple game types.
If you talk about a single platform, this number is already very exaggerated.
But compared with channel platforms, it is nothing.
At present, the competition in the front line of the domestic channel is mainly composed of the two giants, Tenghua and NetDragon.
Some of the second and third-tier channels maintain self-operation.
But many of them have joined the camps of the two companies.
And after "Dark Souls: The Age of First Fire" was launched, both Tengda and NetDragon proposed to acquire part of the equity of Nebula Games and join them, but they all shirked Chen Xu.
And now Chen Xu also feels that it is time to take a step forward again.
But this is definitely not an easy step.
In Chen Xu's plan, the games they launch will focus on the connection between players.
It is not a pure multiplayer game, but it must allow players on the platform to have functions and content that can experience with each other's players.
Among them, "Famine" is a multi-faceted test.
Testing the purchasing power of players when only online to the Nebula game platform.
It is also a test of whether players in parallel worlds can accept sandbox gameplay.
Now, sales of 1.9 million in two weeks, sales of 4 million in the first month are not difficult, and sales of 4 million remain relatively stable, and various mods of players have also begun to be slowly launched.
Whether it is "The Kitchen of Noble Kitchen" or "Food Man" players, they have shown their creativity, and for players of the Nebula game platform, the creative workshop has also become a very distinctive platform selling point and feature.
In this case, based on multiple considerations, Chen Xu felt that it was almost time to launch a sandbox game that could be popular with players.
And this will also be the killer weapon of Nebula Games in promoting the platform.
So Chen Xu’s choice is: “Minecraft”.
The reason for choosing this game is also very simple.
There are three main aspects.
The first point is that it is too successful.
How successful was it?
In terms of business achievements, the global sales of "Minecraft" in his previous life exceeded 200 million in ten years.
Whether it is mobile phones, PCs, hosts, VRs and handhelds, almost every place has the shadow of "Minecraft".
The second point is the unique charm of "Minecraft".
In "Minecraft", the world presented is not gorgeous pictures and special effects, but focuses on gameplay.
For example, building blocks, most people should have played with building blocks. Even if they have never played with building blocks, they will have similar ideas and ideas that want to create a world that belongs only to their own world.
Build through building blocks, build on paper with brushes, or build in your mind with your eyes closed.
This is true of "Minecraft". It provides players with such a channel in an extremely simple way.
Players can create and destroy the blocks in the game in the three-dimensional space in the game, creating exquisite buildings, creations and works of art.
Of course, if only this is the case, then "Minecraft" would not have such a height.
The almost unlimited mode allows players to create in various multiplayer servers or their single player modes, and even has many special features, such as redstone circuits for logical operations and remote actions, mine cars and tracks.
In addition to these, players can also take risks in the game, defeat the terrible boss, and play them as an RPG game.
But no matter how it plays, "Minecraft" revolves around a point.
That is creation.
It is not just built like building blocks, but also has scientific creations, which contain logical operations and remote actions.
It can be said that "Minecraft" is not just a game. Even if you don't have aesthetic design and spatial thinking, you can't even build a good-looking house.
For example, other people's bases are always luxurious villas.
And your house looks like a prison from the outside, and then walk in and see... It's even more like it!
Just like the Zelda Ocarina of Time in his previous life, it defined a 3D game, "Minecraft" defines what a sandbox game is.
So much so that when people talked about sandbox games in their previous lives, they inevitably became substituted for "Minecraft".
Even though the so-called sandbox game is not the first to "Minecraft", its success and perfection almost bind the sandbox game to itself.
In the words of many mc players, playing mc is not simply treating it as a game, but treating it as a toy, and providing games as a toy is the essence of it.
What kind of game is this depends entirely on what game the players think it is.
As for the third point, it is naturally to further promote the influence of the Nebula game platform through "Minecraft", and it can be said that it is the most suitable game for mod.
The current operation of the Nebula Game Platform for Creative Workshop is enough to support this game that is a masterpiece.
………………………………………
After determining the game he chose, Chen Xu also wrote the concept draft of "Minecraft" in the office.
Although this is an extremely successful game, the writing of the concept draft of "Minecraft" is actually even simpler than the previous "Dark Souls".
Because the overall game is mainly about creativity.
Everything revolves around this point.
Compared with the art, numbers, plot, and combat system like "Dark Souls", it has to be involved in all aspects.
Although "Minecraft" cannot be said to be simple, it is not as troublesome as I thought.
After about two days, Chen Xu also wrote the first draft of the design concept of "Minecraft".
During this period, Ruan Ningxue, Qin Yi and others were still maintaining the mod community related to "Famine".
