On the second day after Yang Chen ended the live broadcast, Nebula Games officially announced the opening of multiplayer mode, and the initial server was already full, and 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 occurrence of a certain server ghost server in the later stage, there will still be such an operation as a merge server in the later stage, but instead of putting the players of the two servers on a continent, it is similar to the Asian and American plate, with an ocean in between.

If players want to meet after the merger, they have to develop industrial shipbuilding, and then enter each other's continents, and of course, they can also build airplanes, which depends on what kind of industrial level the two server players can reach.

Of course, considering the development speed of guild players in multiplayer mode, there is definitely more power than pure casual players.

And in fact, the lone ranger profession still occupies the vast majority in the game.

Yang Chen also didn't want to force these players to socialize in the game, such as engaging in some special settings, what multi-person team has higher benefits, or simply making a threshold where only multiple people can participate.

Most games do this, the main purpose is to enhance the social interaction in the game, and then increase the cost of the player's exit.

In many games of this type, why do you want to strengthen the social aspect of multiplayer teaming?

Is it really a must?

It's all.

The most important thing is to allow players to increase the social cost of abandoning the pit in addition to the cost of abandoning the pit in the game.

Even if you don't have much interest in this game, you still have a lot of good friends in this game, which has invisibly become a chain, making you hesitate a little bit about abandoning the pit game.

In "Minecraft", Yang Chen can't deny that social play 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? The 100 servers in front of me are all fully loaded! ”

The director of the backstage side of the Nebula game reported the latest situation to Yang Chen with a nervous face.

Originally, it was planned to open 50 servers initially, but the popularity of the game's entries and sales, this number became 100.

But after the real multiplayer mode was opened, they still underestimated the enthusiasm of the players, and each player could only choose one server to build one number of 100 servers, and even then the first 100 servers were full in more than two hours.

"Open ten servers per hour until they are full, and add five new servers every two weeks after the last server is saturated." Yang Chen thought for a while and said.

The multiplayer mode of "Minecraft" also maintains a high degree of freedom, Yang Chen gives players just a sand table world, and what this sand table world will become in the end depends on the players' own wishes.

Players who like war, sabotage and cause trouble in the game; Players who like scientific research engage in scientific research in the game; Players who like to build houses develop urban civilization in the game;

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

Then they can choose to settle in a new server, and if most of the players in a city like to build and research, and players who like war feel bored fighting, then they can also choose to settle in a new server.

…………

Compared to Yang Chen, who was observing the specific situation of the multiplayer mode of "Minecraft" with the members of the team, the rest of the industry has been paying attention to "Minecraft".

One of the most critical points is whether Amiibo in the Nebula game "Minecraft" can be profitable.

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

Open-ended sandbox games are actually not too new to most people.

But before Minecraft, this type of game was more about the type of game like The Elder Scrolls Online: Skyrim, which was previously developed by Nebula Games.

And what about Minecraft?

The very free gameplay can be said to be completely abrupt and shocked by everyone.

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

But such a game, in addition to the game itself, Nebula Games seems to want to charge more from Amiibo, a special novelty?

This makes many people a little bit incomprehensible.

'Speaking of Nebula Games, what do you think of this "Minecraft"? ’

The price of '60 can only be said to be the standard of ordinary indie games, and the content of the in-app purchase items is all linked to Amiibo. ’

But combining physical toys with virtual items makes Nebula Games a bit risky. ’

'I feel like the Amiibo promoted by Nebula Games is a little confusing.,Players who are willing to pay will definitely buy the content of the mall in the game.,But if you don't want to, this Amiibo probably won't buy it.。 ’

+1, and the price of 60 yuan feels a little low for the game "Minecraft". ’

In a chat group in the industry, a group of people chatted word by word.

Within Nebula Games, Yang Chen is communicating with Xu Yu on strategic arrangements for "Minecraft" and Amiibo.

"At present, Amiibo's sales are not bad, as a new and not so cheap physical building block toy, the national sales of 200,000 is already very good." Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen and said.

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

But it hasn't been long since Amiibo was launched, and as Xu Yu said, there has been no big promotion, which is already a good figure.

"The preparations on the MOD community side are basically complete." Yang Chen nodded, with a smile on his face.

This is an important point about the connection between the modding community and Minecraft.

MOD will occupy a large proportion in "Minecraft", and compared with the previous "Warcraft" map MOD profit linkage is somewhat immature, in "Minecraft" Yang Chen and Xu Yu have a more complete plan, a plan with Amiibo.

For example, the mod team or the construction team has built magnificent buildings such as 'Snow City', 'Lonely City' and 'Diamond Dog Base' in the game, and without copyright issues, it is completely able to communicate with the mod, launch Amiibo, and then give a part of the profits to the mod author, forming a good virtuous circle.

Some functional mods can be officially launched by the corresponding content mod server, and give the mod maker profits.

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

"What's the matter?" Hearing Xu Yu's words, Yang Chen asked with some curiosity.

You must know that in terms of games, especially when it comes to development, Xu Yu generally doesn't bother with it.

Now suddenly asking about the development of the mobile terminal of "Minecraft", this makes Yang Chen a little curious.

"Has Mr. Yang observed the data? According to the account information statistics in the background, a large part of "Minecraft" is actually a small number of players. Xu Yu said towards Yang Chen.

Minecraft players are a bit young, does that matter too much?

"Minecraft" itself is a game that can be said to be a family carnival, no matter how old you are, you can find fun in "Minecraft", and although there is a combat mode in "Minecraft", it has nothing to do with bloody violence.

Seeing Yang Chen's bewildered look of not knowing anything, Xu Yu, who was sitting on the sofa, sighed, then walked to the display board on the side of the office, picked up the whiteboard marker on the shelf and explained to Yang Chen.

"According to the latest statistics, players under the age of 20 account for 35% of the mobile gamer population." Xu Yu, who was standing there, drew a trapezoidal diagram on the blackboard with the whiteboard marker in his hand.

"From a paid point of view, this group occupies the second place among all players, and Amiibo in Minecraft is a puzzle block type game." Xu Yu looked at Yang Chen with a smile on his face.

So, the launch of Minecraft Mobile is to sell the building blocks to children!

Yang Chen looked at Xu Yu with wide eyes.

No, we're just starting to make toys! I feel like my heart has become a little dark.

Xu Yu, who had been a little embarrassed by Yang Chen's constant look, probably guessed what Yang Chen was thinking, and coughed lightly: "The mobile phone and the game are put there, children will play other games if they don't play "Minecraft", and if they don't buy Amiibo, they will also krypton other 648, in contrast, "Minecraft" can be said to be a family game, and it also has intellectual elements, plus Amiibo toys can also cultivate their hands-on and thinking skills, Mr. Yang, if you have children 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 really reasonable.

But according to this logic, do you have to have someone else in "Minecraft", and you have to thank them!?

The heart of making toys is black!

This is just the beginning of the toy touch, and it has become like this.

Yang Chen sighed in his heart, and then said to Xu Yu: "The mobile version has been almost developed, and the test of the last beta version has just ended, and the advertisement on the side of the Propaganda Department has also been launched." ”

The mobile version of "Minecraft" is in the preparation stage before launch, and another side of "Minecraft"-related materials have also come out.

Needless to say, the sales volume part, it can only be said that Nebula Games is still Nebula Games.

On the Amiibo sales side, the sales of 310,000 copies seem to be quite impressive.

But when you compare the number of Minecraft sales, this number is a bit inadequate.

When such a data came out, some people in the game circle began to discuss it.

The sales volume of 310,000 seems to be relatively bright, but the key is that this is the early stage of the game's launch, and the situation with the highest turnover of a game, except for the updates and activities of the major version, is the period of time when it has been online.

The steps are too big and they are pulling to the waist, and a group of people in the industry in the game circle are discussing with each other.

As for the words of 'Nebula Games, Yang Chen has fallen from the altar since then', no one has said it.

After all, the million-level sales of "Minecraft" are placed here, and according to this trend, it can be said that the sales volume of overseas will exceed 10 million after it is launched.

Yang Chen didn't pay attention to the voice on the Internet at all, because the mobile terminal of "Minecraft" was officially launched.

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

In terms of servers, the 10,000-person server on the PC platform can be said to be absent on the mobile terminal.

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

But the point is that Minecraft is free on mobile.

"Minecraft works well on mobile, and the optimization is pretty good, but I still feel like it's more fun on PC. ’

+1, it feels more fun on the PC platform, but after all, it's a mobile platform, and it's good to be bored and build a building when you go to work and take the subway. ’

Anyway, who noticed, Amiibo seems to be shared by the two platforms. ’

After downloading the mobile terminal of "Minecraft", ordinary players subconsciously compare it with the PC platform.

But that's not the case for a certain type of player, who don't have access to the computer on a regular basis.

…………

In Tuanjie Primary School, as soon as the bell rang for the end of class, Li Haoran ran to his friends with the mobile phone in his hand, and he couldn't wait to show off in front of his friends.

"Eh, here, put wood here, you're so stupid!"

"Don't rush, don't rush, I can't find my way home."

When Li Haoran felt it, a group of his friends gathered around for a heated discussion.

"Ahem, you're still building a house? I've built a big, big house! Li Haoran said in a somewhat ostentatious tone.

It took him a long time to erect, and it wasn't one of those little dark houses.

It's just that the reaction of his friends made him even more confused.

"Who still builds their own house? We're all playing with redstone now! And you can also make a car and race a car together. ”

The friends shook the mobile phones in their hands.

looked at the game screen of "Minecraft" on his friend's mobile phone, and Li Haoran was shocked all of a sudden.

So big, so nice villa!

"You guys, how did you build it?" Li Haoran was very curious.

"Who's going to take it themselves? It's that building block toy, there's a small card in it, you put it behind your phone, and then use the signal to search for it. The little friend shook his phone very proudly, and then Li Haoran noticed that there was a card in the transparent case of his mobile phone, and the pattern on it was the big house he saw before.

"You don't eat breakfast again and secretly spend money to buy game props? Aren't you afraid that your mother will know to beat you to death? Li Haoran's eyes widened.

"Who said I was secret? This was bought for me by my mother, I told you that you did well in the exam, and then told your mother that the teacher said that building block toys are good for intellectual development, and she will buy them for you, and she will praise you! The little friend said proudly.

Is there any such an operation?

Li Haoran's eyes widened.

But he thinks a little further than his friends, since building block toys are beneficial to intellectual development, is it because he didn't play games, so he can't rely on high scores?
