Chapter 207 The first test DEMO, monthly pass)
As time goes by, Chen Xu also held several meetings with Qin Yi and others.
Better explain the core of "Minecraft" gameplay and related concepts.
The mobile version will be launched in the plan, as well as subsequent VR versions.
But it is still mainly pc version.
After determining all aspects of "Minecraft", the entire R&D department inevitably entered a state of overtime.
After all, time is really tight.
However, compared to "Minecraft", the first thing that took half a month to complete are the two DLCs of "Famine".
The two versions of Giant Kingdom and Beach bring some brand new creatures and gameplay.
The content of these two versions is not too much.
In addition to the game framework itself, there are also detailed design concept drafts provided by Chen Xu.
It doesn't take much effort.
Brand new maps, monsters, and some new content.
All of them have made the players ignite the enthusiasm to play "Famine".
In the gaming industry, except for the hungry players who are happy because of DLC.
Some manufacturers and teams have successively announced some new news that they are developing sandbox games.
Including Tenghua and NetDragon, there are also studios under its stake.
There is not much content exposed, but judging from some published information, it can only be said that there are many types of subject matters.
Chen Xu took the time to pay attention to this, and the operations of many game manufacturers and designers also made Chen Xu speechless.
For example, some people just follow the "Famine" mode, which is also the theme of survival, but the style and camera have changed, from God's perspective to third-person and first-person perspective, and external publicity is sandbox.
This also made Chen Xu speechless. It was not that he felt like he was a feces just by looking at it. It was just because judging from the content of the other party’s publicity, he prefers to simply survive with a little bit of open world concept setting. However, because sandbox games are currently in popularity, they directly call themselves sandbox games.
There are also many games of this type, some of which did not follow the "Famine" approach, but made some micro-innovations.
For example, set the background on the sea, let the player play the role of pirates to build his own pirate ship, and then wander on the sea to find various legendary creatures, fight with pirates, and find the legendary island full of treasures.
Some set the background as doomsday, and they also survive, but the object has become various zombies and mutated creatures.
Some people make it into rpg, allowing players to play the role of demigods, go to attack various legendary monsters, and then target killing the Olympus gods.
Obviously, the performance of "Famine" on sandbox games has also given many designers in the game industry a lot of inspiration and inspiration.
However, in Chen Xu's opinion, many of them are completely called sandboxes, and in terms of publicity, they are called sandboxes.
There is a bit of a bit of a previous life when R-star made GTA a benchmark for open world, a large number of games on the market, whether they were action adventures, FPS or RPG games in the past, they all called themselves open world games, and they had to go the same side as open world.
In the forums of major player community, many players are also having various discussions.
‘What the hell! I vomited. Which one is the first to promote this month? Another sandbox game?’
‘My God, “Famine” has led to the sandbox game type, how many of these are doing it?’
‘But one thing is to say, for me, I feel that these are a little easier to accept than famine.’
‘The picture is indeed good, but I just don’t know how to play it.’
Players complained about the community forum.
However, no matter how much you complain, except for some sandbox games that seem to be clumsy from project establishment information.
Many of the games announced to the public have attracted the attention of many players and have a good popularity.
Obviously, this brand new type of sandbox game is very new to many players.
I was talking too much, and I couldn't help but feel it, but my body's reaction was very honest and even took the initiative to cater to it.
But one thing is certain, that is, the sandbox wave brought about by many sandbox game projects, and the project will definitely die on the beach.
………………………………………
Chen Xu paid attention to the topic of sandbox craze in the game circle and didn’t care.
The current main task is to complete "Minecraft".
The full version of "Minecraft" obviously does not progress that fast.
However, a demo on PC that is used as a phased test has been made.
There are many functions of the current demo that have not been produced in time.
Not to mention the technological content in the game, even the corresponding synthesis and other content have not been added.
Simply put, the current version is basically the creation mode of castration and castration version.
The whole game is very simple. The game currently has no art materials, so it is naturally not done, so it is a completely hodgepodge.
Famine and black souls can find corresponding points, which seems very inappropriate.
However, Chen Xu didn't care much, just replace it later.
After all, all demos at the beginning of the game basically look like this.
After entering the game, Chen Xu began to have an experience.
I soon entered the game. Steve in the game is either Steve or blocks yet.
Well, the simple white board square does not have the kind of pixels that look very strange.
Controlling the characters in the game, Chen Xu flew into the sky and walked around.
The basic terrain generation of rivers, mountains, forests and grasslands is generated in a random way.
Of course it is random, but in fact there is still a self-consistent generation logic program.
It is impossible that it is really completely random, there are various calculation formulas for different resource.
Because if it is completely random, a world may be generated, and the world will be filled with no water, or there will be no land in the sea.
Although the probability is very, very small, this is still possible.
Exit, and then re-enter.
After repeated several times, after careful observation, Chen Xu nodded gently.
As of now, I haven't found a big problem.
Of course, more sample tests are needed later.
As for art materials.
A mainstream configuration for parallel world players is much higher than in previous lives.
Don't worry about configuration issues, it can be improved a lot.
After all, good picture quality is also part of the game experience.
With the characteristics of gameplay and other features, it is impossible for players to say that 4k of garbage is not needed. I like the very handsome 360p resolution and pictures full of dog teeth.
"For art, make the square more textured, and at the same time, the textures related to different materials are better."
"There are some special materials, magma, seawater, and the texture of ordinary squares. Light is also the key point. The impact of flames, sun, etc. allows some materials in the game to provide more realistic feedback, such as glass, seawater, etc."
Chen Xu said to Ruan Ningxue.
Without a response, Ruan Ningxue nodded and recorded the key points.
Chapter completed!
