Chapter 212 The existence that best represents sandbox games, monthly pass)
Nebula Games’ project room.
Chen Xu is working on building a game model.
Regarding the promotional aspect, the promotional video has been released.
However, the feedback from players is different. After all, it is really difficult to guess how a game is played through a video.
Otherwise there wouldn't be so many previews to cheat.
Many game promotional videos are just about to say that they are the most masterpieces throughout history, but when you enter the game, you will see that the instant noodles advertisements and physical objects are not as shrinking as you.
Although Chen Xu was scolded and deceived by many players, some players who were tortured in "Dark Souls" even angrily criticized him as an old thief. At the same time, the examples of claiming to be "the warrior of love" have become a joke that Chen Xu fans have to say.
But there is one thing that everyone agrees with, that is, Chen Xu basically won’t do anything to the promotional trailer.
But this time, "Minecraft" really made many players a little confused.
Can a pixel game be played with?
Chen Xu also saw the doubts of online players and the debates in the game industry.
But there is no explanation. When the trial is started and then the promotion is later, players will naturally understand.
No matter what you say now, it will be more convincing and shocking to show it directly to the players.
In front of the computer in the project room, Chen Xu quickly switched the screen, and some repetitive blocks were directly constructed by construction tools and AI.
Chen Xu is building more complex scenes. With Chen Xu's current ability to build a building in the game, it's completely a bit of a little.
What's more, Chen Xu also copied the various templates in advance through memory capsules.
Now it's basically just a copy.
Soon one by one, one buildings appeared in "Minecraft".
"That's so awesome, Mr. Chen!"
"It seems!"
"Oh My God!"
"Mr. Chen is too strong!"
Qin Yi and Lin Tao, two big men who had just completed the modeling task at hand, stood behind Chen Xu and looked at him building various buildings in the game with a look of amazement.
Ruan Ningxue and Yang Xin, who were recreating in the game, looked at the two of them with contempt in front of Chen Xu.
Flatter!
So far, the complex has almost one-third completed.
At that time, according to Chen Xu's ideas, in addition to being used for publicity, a "Neiyun Game Museum" will be specially created in the game. The ids of employees participating in the production will be added to the players for visiting.
Including later stages, some distinctive content will be produced one after another.
And then players can also place these buildings in their own world, of course they can only be in single-player mode.
"Okay, I'll find something for you, and you can also play with some complicated things."
"Go and do the Redstone Circuit and lay a track for this mountain." Chen Xu looked at the two people behind helplessly.
If you have nothing to do after building the house, then go build the railway.
………………………………………
"Minecraft" is promoting step by step little by little, and at the same time, "Voyage" in Tenghua has also started promoting.
During this period, in terms of publicity, in addition to the release of some simple biological original paintings, the main purpose was to announce the test mode.
In the original plan, Chen Xu decided to conduct tests on a small scale.
The mode you want to choose is also a pre-order player who signs up and then draws lots.
But this plan was quickly killed by Chen Xu.
After all, it is a bit unfair to players.
You have to know that although everyone is a player, some people have the kind of existence that can produce SR and Golden Light in a single shot.
Some of them have 100 rounds of krypton, but they can only get the guaranteed chief.
So in the end, Chen Xu made a decision, that is, players can pre-order in advance and then participate in the five-day pre-test.
Players who pre-order at the same time can get a refund within five days if they feel that the game is not their own dish.
This has also attracted many players. After all, what kind of game is "Minecraft"? It won't take long to know its true face.
However, what makes the game industry feel a bit strange is that "Wasteland" that was once bright with "Voyage", but at this time there is no sound.
As for the reason, others don’t know, but Chen Xu knows it.
Because at this time, Chen Xu was experiencing the "Wasteland" developed by Meng Zuo.
A simple guide to the beginning is simply that after the world fell into a nuclear war, the surface civilization was destroyed, and at the same time, radiation gave birth to various mutated organisms and plants.
The player plays a member of a shelter.
But all the others in the shelter have died, leaving only the protagonist, and most of the functions of the shelter have failed, and there is only one way to die in the shelter.
So the player needs to walk out of the shelter and come to the landmark.
But the good news is that no matter why, the radiation after the nuclear war has mutated biological animals, but when it is the protagonist's turn to come out, the radiation will no longer pose a threat to the human body.
The main line of the game is very simple, that is, reshaping civilization.
In terms of gameplay, the combat mode is not instant, but is a bit similar to the close-up turn-based version of Youfu in the previous life. At the same time, the game also added a dodge value setting. At least during the game, Chen Xu saw the famous scene of "Empty Gun with Face", and Meng Zuo, who was sitting next to him, smiled awkwardly.
It is not as simple as imagined to solve the problem. If you add the setting that you must win with your face, what is the situation that you are looking at with your face?
Is it counting between two positions?
There is also deletion of dodge, which does solve it, but it affects the entire game's combat system.
In addition to these, the main gameplay is to pick up garbage in wasteland, collect resources, and then build your own camp and camp.
In addition, there is a more distinctive setting in the game, that is, team.
During the game, players will encounter various NPCs in the wasteland, and NPCs also have their own personalities. Of course, the performance in the game is the entry.
These NPCs can become doctors, combatants, weapon manufacturing, etc., but they are actually construction systems in normal games, and they are displayed in a different mode.
After playing the whole game, Chen Xu is not sure whether the subsequent content includes the values and whether there is any collapse in the gameplay.
But from the moment, the quality can be said to be very excellent.
However, in Chen Xu's view, the strategic attributes of this game are completely greater than those of the sandbox.
Because players need to make choices about the retention of npc, npc will also consume player supplies in this game.
If there is not enough supplies, NPC will not be able to support it. Either a mutiny occurs, or NPC will starve to death, freeze to death, or cause NPC to leave the camp.
At the same time, some NPCs will have some bad entries, such as easy to be upset and betrayal, but it is very useful.
In Chen Xu's view, this should be a survival strategy game that tests players' resource allocation.
As for what is connected to the sandbox, it is definitely a kind that is more playable and can make players suffer several livers.
"How is Mr. Chen?" Meng Zuo asked.
"Very interesting." Chen Xu nodded and affirmed.
"By the way, Mr. Chen, your new work "Minecraft" is a pixel game?" Meng Zuo pointed indirectly.
"Indeed." Chen Xu nodded.
"So Mr. Chen, do you think there is any difference between the two sandbox games, "Wasteland" and "Minecraft",?" Meng Zuo lifted the covered cloth halfway.
"There is no comparison at all." Chen Xu shook his head gently.
Meng Zuo was a little confused, Chen Xu continued: "Because the two games have completely different types, if you have to compare, it would be Guan Gong and Qin Qiong. Moreover, "Wasteland" is strictly speaking, it is not the sandbox game I think."
"Then Mr. Chen, what do you think is a sandbox game?" Meng Zuo asked.
"What is a sandbox game? Well... I think "Minecraft" should be the most representative of the sandbox game at present. You will know next week Teacher Meng." Chen Xu said with a smile.
When Meng Zuo heard Chen Xu's words, he was stunned.
What best represents the existence of sandbox games? It's too crazy!
Bragging, joking?
But from Chen Xu's tone, it doesn't look like it!
He was full of doubts, but Meng Zuo did not continue to talk about this topic next.
After they parted, Meng Zuo's mind was still what Chen Xu said before.
Will "Minecraft" be the most representative of sandbox games at present?
Wasteland isn't a sandbox game?
After several times in my mind, Meng Zuo finally made a decision and took out his cell phone and sent a message to his assistant.
The claim to be delayed is at least staggered by "Minecraft".
At the same time, Chen Xu also felt a little emotional.
Chen Xu also made a rough judgment on "Wasteland" and some of the games released before.
That's these games, perhaps very good games.
But they were completely unsure of the key points of the sandbox game.
Chapter completed!
