On the second day after Yang Chen finished his live broadcast, Nebula Games officially announced that it would open a multiplayer mode, and the servers opened in the early stage were already full. Moreover, because of the special gameplay of "Minecraft", each world can only accommodate up to 10,000 players online at the same time.

At the same time, in order to consider the situation of a server ghost server in the later stage, there will still be such a server operation in the later stage. It is not to place the players of the two servers on the same continent, but to look like the Asian and American sectors, with an ocean between them.

After the server is combined, players need to develop industrial shipbuilding, then enter the other party's continent, and of course they can also build aircraft. This depends on the level of industrial development of the two server players.

Of course, considering the development speed of guild players in the multiplayer mode, their strength is definitely stronger than that of pure casual players.

Moreover, in the game, the Mavericks still account for the vast majority.

Yang Chen doesn't want to force these players to socialize in the game, such as making some special settings, making higher benefits when teaming up multiple people, or simply creating a threshold where only multiple people can participate.

The main purpose of most games doing this is to strengthen social interaction in the game and then increase the cost of players' withdrawal.

For many games of this type, why do we need to strengthen the social interaction of multiplayer teaming?

Is it really necessary?

All are farts.

The most important thing is to allow players to increase the social cost of abandoning pits in the game, in addition to the cost of abandoning pits by krypton gold.

Even if you are not interested in this game, you still have many good friends in this game, which invisibly becomes a chain, making you hesitate about the game of abandoning pits.

In "Minecraft", Yang Chen cannot deny that social gameplay is indeed one of the charms of "Minecraft", but it is definitely not necessary to socialize.

"Mr. Yang, do you want to add a server? All 100 servers in front of you are fully loaded!"

The supervisor on the backstage of Nebula Games reported the latest situation to Yang Chen with a nervous look on his face.

I originally planned to open 50 servers in the early stage, but the popularity of the game's entries and sales volume have become 100.

But after truly opening the multiplayer mode, they still underestimated the enthusiasm of players. Each player can only choose one server to build an account with 100 servers. Even the first 100 servers opened in this way will be filled in more than two hours.

"Open ten servers every hour until saturation. In addition, after the server is finally saturated, 5 new servers will be added every two weeks." Yang Chen thought for a while and said.

The multiplayer mode "Minecraft" also maintains a very high degree of freedom. What Yang Chen gives players is just a sand table world. What this sand table world will eventually become depends on the players' own wishes.

Players who like war will destroy and cause trouble in the game; players who like scientific research will do scientific research in the game; players who like building houses will develop urban civilization in the game;

It can be said that there are all kinds of players. If there are too many players in a world who like to fight, a small number of scientific and Buddhist construction players do not want to stay in this server, even if there is a peace mode.

Then they can choose to settle in a new server. If most of the players who like construction and research in the same city feel bored if they can't fight, then they can also choose to settle in a new server.

…………

Compared to Yang Chen who was observing the specific situation of "Minecraft" multiplayer mode with his team members, others in the industry have always been paying attention to "Minecraft".

The most critical point is whether the amiibo in the Nebula game "Minecraft" can make a profit.

It can be said that the game "Minecraft" is an unprecedented experience, and it can even be said to be an expansion of the game mode.

Open sandbox games are not too strange for most people.

But before "Minecraft", this type of game was more about games like "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" developed by Nebula Games.

And what about "Minecraft"?

The extremely free way to play can be said to be completely surprised and shocked by everyone.

It turns out that the game can still do this!?

But in addition to the game itself, Nebula Games seems to want to charge for such a game from a special new thing, amiibo?

This makes many people a little confused.

‘What do you think of Nebula Games’ “Minecraft”?’

The price of '60 can only be said to be the standard for ordinary independent games, and the content of in-app purchases is all linked to Amiibo.'

‘But combining physical toys with virtual items is a bit of a risky approach to Nebula Games.’

‘I feel that the promotion of Nebula Games is a bit confused. Players are willing to pay and they will definitely buy the content of the mall in the game, but if they don’t want to, they probably won’t buy the amiibo either.’

‘+1, and the price of 60 yuan seems to be a little lower for the game "Minecraft".’

In a chat group in the industry, a group of people were chatting in words.

Within Nebula Games, Yang Chen is conducting strategic arrangements and communication with Xu Yu about "Minecraft" and Amiibo.

"At present, the sales of amiibo is quite good. As a new and not so cheap physical building block toy, the sales of 200,000 yuan nationwide are already very good." Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen and said.

Of course, most of the sales of these 200,000 copies were contributed by Minecraft, and not all large buildings like Helgen.

But it has not been long since Amiibo was launched, and as Xu Yu said, there has been no large-scale promotion, so this data is already considered good.

"The preparations for the mod community have basically been completed." Yang Chen nodded with a smile on his face.

This is a very important point, that is, the connection between the mod community and Minecraft.

Mod will account for a large proportion in "Minecraft". Compared with the previous map mod profit linkage of "Warcraft" in "Minecraft", Yang Chen and Xu Yu have a more complete plan in "Minecraft", and one that cooperates with Amiibo's plan.

For example, the mod team or construction team built magnificent buildings such as "Snowman City", "Dugu City" and "Diamond Dog Base" in the game. Without copyright issues, they can communicate with the mod, launch amiibo and then give part of the profit to the mod author, forming a good virtuous cycle.

Some functional mods can be officially launched by the official mod server and give the mod producer profits.

"In addition, Mr. Yang, the development of "Minecraft" mobile terminal has accelerated the pace." Xu Yu thought of something and said to Yang Chen.

"Is there something wrong?" Yang Chen asked curiously when he heard Xu Yu's words.

You should know that Xu Yu generally doesn't care about the game, especially when it comes to development.

Now, I suddenly asked about the development of the mobile terminal of "Minecraft" which made Yang Chen a little curious.

"Have Mr. Yang observed the data? According to the account information statistics on the backend, a large number of players in "Minecraft" are actually low-age players." Xu Yu said to Yang Chen.

"Minecraft" players are a little younger, what's the big deal?

"Minecraft" itself is a game that can be said to be a family-friendly game. No matter how old you are, you can find fun in "Minecraft". Moreover, although there is a combat mode in "Minecraft", it has no connection with bloody violence.

Looking at Yang Chen's confused look on his face, Xu Yu, who was sitting on the sofa, sighed, then walked to the display panel on the side of the office, picked up the whiteboard pen on the shelf and explained to Yang Chen.

"According to the latest statistics, the proportion of people in mobile games is lower than 20 years old, and players account for 35% of the mobile game player group." Xu Yu, who was standing there, drew a ladder-shaped diagram on the blackboard with the whiteboard pen in his hand.

"From the perspective of payment, this group occupies the second place among all players. In addition, the amiibo in "Minecraft" is a puzzle building block type game." Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen with a smile on his face.

So, launching the mobile version of "Minecraft" is about selling the building blocks to children!

Yang Chen looked at Xu Yu with his eyes wide open.

No, I'm just starting to make toys! Why do I feel my heart getting a little dark?

Xu Yu, who had been a little embarrassed by Yang Chen's viewing, probably guessed what Yang Chen thought, and coughed softly: "Where are the mobile phones and games, children will play other games without playing "Minecraft", and they will also play other 648 without buying amiibo. In comparison, "Minecraft" can be said to be a family fun game, and it also has educational elements. In addition, amiibo toys can also cultivate their hands-on and thinking skills. Mr. Yang, if you have a child in the future, what kind of game do you want him to play?"

??????????

Yang Chen's eyes widened and he looked at Xu Yu.

In a sense, this sounds quite reasonable.

But according to this logic, do you have to thank others for krypton money in "Minecraft"?

The heart of making toys is dark!

It's just now that I've just gotten into toys, and that's how it's going to be.

Yang Chen sighed in his heart, and then said to Xu Yu: "The mobile version has been developed almost the same. The test of the last beta version has just been completed, and the advertisements from the Propaganda Department have also been put into use."

The mobile version of "Minecraft" is in the preparation stage before it is launched, and the other side of information about "Minecraft" has also been released.

Needless to mention the sales part, we can only talk about Nebula Games or Nebula Games.

As for the sales volume of amiibo, the sales volume of 310,000 copies looks quite impressive.

But comparing the sales volume of "Minecraft", this number seems a bit too small to watch.

With such data coming out, some people in the game circle immediately began to discuss it.

The sales of 310,000 yuan seem to be quite impressive, but the key is that this is the early stage of the game launch, and a game with the highest turnover, in addition to the updates and activities of major versions, it has been in the period of its launch.

The steps were too big and the waist was pulled, and a group of people from the industry in the game circle were discussing with each other.

As for the words "Neiyun Game, Yang Chen has since fallen from the altar" no one said.

After all, "Minecraft"'s million-level sales are here, and according to this trend, it is perfect for sales to exceed tens of millions after it goes online overseas.

Yang Chen didn't care about the online voice at all, because the mobile terminal of "Minecraft" was officially launched.

Compared with the client version of "Minecraft", the general gameplay of "Minecraft" on the mobile side is still the same, but considering the configuration of each mobile phone model, some content has been castrated.

As for servers, the PC platform’s 10,000-person server is not available on the mobile side.

Therefore, in terms of data, the two platforms are not connected.

But the key is that "Minecraft" on the mobile terminal is free.

‘Minecraft’s performance on mobile is pretty good, and the optimization is good, but I still feel that the PC platform is more fun.’

‘+1, I feel that the PC platform is more fun, but after all, it is a mobile platform. It’s also good to build a building when I’m bored when I take the subway when I work and take the subway.’

‘Who has noticed it, it seems that the two platforms are shared by amiibo.’

After ordinary players downloaded the mobile terminal of Minecraft, they subconsciously compared it with the PC platform.

But for a certain type of player, this is not the case. They have no way to get in touch with computers on weekdays.
