Chapter 400: The Heart of Making Toys Is Black!
"It's a game about blocks and adventure, and of course it's a bit one-sided, but in this particular game, you can explore the worlds that arise on your own, and create amazing wonders. Whether it is a small prison black room or a luxurious villa, players can use their free imagination to create in the game; In survival mode, players will have to collect resources as much as possible to build bases and weapons to deal with unknown dangers; In multiplayer, there has never been a game that has been able to give the player choice and freedom. ”
Well-known media outlets such as Game Starry Sky have begun to evaluate Minecraft.
In the face of such a game, major media have given a rare perfect score.
However, in terms of player public reviews, it is a bit polarized, players who like "Minecraft", crazy Amway other players this game, and "Minecraft" is praised in the sky and on the earth.
Some other players who have come into contact with Minecraft find the game very boring.
'Am I the only one who thinks Minecraft is boring?' It's not interesting at all, isn't it just digging up materials, and then building houses to upgrade technology? ’
"It's the same,I feel like this game is boring.,And the image quality MOD is too demanding on the configuration.,I can stabilize 60FPS in "The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" with the light and shadow effect mod, but only more than 20 in "Minecraft". ’
The network mode didn't feel much fun, I didn't meet a single person for half a day, and I walked for half an hour before I met a player. ’
It's boring, it's much worse than the previous "Wolf: Shadow Death" and "Torture and Killing the Original Form". ’
I can't get any fun out of this game. ’
Yang Chen didn't care too much about the remarks of these players on the Internet.
A game, who can say that anyone will like it?
For players who prefer to be 'elderly', Minecraft is not so friendly to players who like to open the game and welcome a world that has been carefully crafted by the designer, and then experience the world and the story within the framework given by the designer.
Because "Minecraft" is not so much a game, in fact, it is more like a 'tool' method to bring players special fun, breaking through the standard of "fighting, killing" in traditional games, and allowing players to become a designer, through their own dedication and efforts, truly understand what creation is.
…………
In NetDragon games, Zhang Yida is also studying "Minecraft", or at this moment, domestic game makers can be said to be studying this game.
"What a miracle game." Zhang Yida couldn't help but sigh.
As a domestic game designer like Taishan Beidou, he has studied the gameplay modes of various games very thoroughly, but he also understands extraordinary.
But for the game "Minecraft", he can only be amazed.
From a technical point of view, "Minecraft" can be made like this, but in terms of the technical level of the game alone, it is not a big problem for domestic first-tier game manufacturers and some second-tier game manufacturers.
The most important point is that the gameplay and game concept of "Minecraft" can be said to be too advanced.
Sandbox games are not a new game concept, from the earliest provision of a sandbox map for players to experience the fun of the game, and then the combination of sandbox and open world, the two game concepts have been somewhat confusing for most players.
Most games pursue the so-called freedom, allowing players to have more freedom in the game, such as removing the air wall, allowing players to freely reach anywhere on the game map, and as in The Elder Scrolls Online, Skyrim, not limited to the main story missions.
These are all freedoms given to players by game manufacturers, but there is no game like Minecraft, which does not give players goals at all and let players decide how to play for themselves.
A breakthrough game concept, Zhang Yida has to admit that "Minecraft" can be said to be a model of sandbox freestyle games, and it is also a game that is difficult to surpass.
Not in terms of what it has achieved, but in terms of its game philosophy.
And when domestic game producers such as Zhang Yida lamented the subtlety of "Minecraft", the first batch of overseas "Minecraft" promotion has begun.
Overseas servers have been set up, and because of the channel, Nebulas Games cannot accurately place advertisements in regional channels related to each country like UEgame.
In addition to North America, Britain, France, Germany, and Japan, South Korea and other mainstream game countries in Asia to contact relevant channels to advertise, more of the main means of publicity are placed on game live streaming sites such as YouTube video websites and mouse stations.
And the overseas publicity cost of "Minecraft" is as high as tens of millions of dollars.
Regarding whether "Minecraft" will achieve good results overseas, Yang Chen has not the slightest doubt at all, because the enthusiasm of domestic players has confirmed this.
Yang Chen: All they need to do is to give the overseas version of "Minecraft" to the operation account, as well as prepare for the international server including multiplayer mode.
Putting overseas players and domestic players on the same server is definitely not just a simple thing, there are many things to consider.
For example, Yang Chen pondered whether he needed to add a simple machine translation tool to the international server, after all, not every player understands a foreign language.
Unlike Yang Chen, who was thinking about how to make the game content a better experience for players, Xu Yu in the office was also thinking about a very serious problem.
"Mr. Yang, we need to set up an overseas branch, and we also have to consider rolling out the channel of overseas Amiibo." Xu Yu said to Yang Chen very seriously.
What if the game is sold abroad?
You must know that Amiibo's income is the big one!
How much is a digital version of Minecraft game?
It's only 60 bucks.
And as long as players buy a "Minecraft" and don't deliberately do things, they won't be banned, and they don't have to continue to consume.
But what about Amiibo?
Today I will release a "Elder Scrolls: Skyrim" linkage Amiibo, tomorrow I will release a "Resident Evil" linkage Amiibo, and the day after tomorrow there will be a new game in the linkage, which is all sustainable revenue.
And you don't have to be a Minecraft player to buy Amiibo, after all, it's a building block toy.
Maybe their Amiibo will be the second Lego in the future!
Xu Yu had a very excited expression on his face.
And just as Xu Yu and Yang Chen were analyzing the situation, there was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Yang, Lego contacted us and said that he wanted to discuss matters related to the linkage between Lego bricks and our Amiibo."
??????
They've just talked about Lego here, and then Lego is going to work with them?
This toy is much darker than their game!
Yang Chen sighed with emotion in his heart.
