Chapter 60:
'Pixel game, what did he think? Will there be a market for this game? ’
'From the original "Battlefield" to "Ayrden's Circle", this person played cards completely out of common sense. Although it may be a pixel game, don't underestimate it. ’
'But I really can't think of anything interesting in pixel games! ’
‘Could it be that Chen Xu couldn’t help betting again on the small cost after seeing the high rate of return of “Jelly Bean Man”? ’
'For other game makers, I think it's very possible, but Chen Xu...it's not very likely. ’
'Let's just wait and see. ’
Many game makers who have been following Chen Xu's movements all the time are at a loss.
Unlike players who expressed some disappointment in the promotional image of "Minecraft" released by Chen Xu, these game manufacturers did not dare to underestimate Chen Xu.
Even if they really can't think of a pixel game, what is worth playing.
On the contrary, it is the creative workshop, which is different from the expectations of the players, and they don't care.
A small function uploaded by a fairyland mall, can you still play the flower?
Compared with this, it is obviously Chen Xu's new work, which deserves more attention.
After all, even if I can't wait to let Chen Xu and Nebula Game die immediately.
But everyone has to admit that the entire game industry was turbulent because of the birth of Nebula Games and Chen Xu.
Since his debut, this genius has subverted players' perception of the game again and again. All the games he has made will attract people's attention and expectations until the conclusion is reached.
I just don't know if this time Chen Xu can continue the brilliance of the previous "Ayrden Circle" and "Battlefield".
In the industry and players' attention.
Three days later...
Players who have been following Chen Xu all the time have found that Nebula Games finally has action.
The first is that the Wonderland game store released an update patch today, with new functions: the 'trophy achievement system', 'player community' and 'creative workshop' are open.
Secondly, Chen Xu's official blog has also been updated.
There is only one simple sentence: go and unleash your imagination and create your own world!
With the completion of the update of the mall, new functions will be released online.
Players also found that there is also a brand new game that is online and open with it - "Minecraft"
The first release is only for the PC version, and the price is 35 yuan. Of course, this is the price of the entire domestic network. If you buy it on the Wonderland mall, you can also receive an exclusive coupon of 35 minus 8.
…
"It really is a pixel game!"
The first time I discovered the news of Nebula's game, I was not too surprised when I saw the store interface of "Minecraft".
After all, everyone had guesses in their minds before.
Although she doesn't have any prejudice against pixel games, and even she often plays some small pixel games, there will always be some disappointment, after all, the other party is Nebula Games!
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
"However, the gameplay of this game? It seems to be a little special!"
At the same time as the purchase and installation, Liuliu opened the promotional video on the store interface, showing a slightly surprised expression.
With a melodious BGM, the game screen appeared.
As seen before, it is all blue sky and white clouds, ocean, trees, and sandy beaches composed of pixel squares.
【This is a world made of blocks】
With the voice of the narrator, a person riding a pink pig appeared in the distance.
[Feel the charm of sandbox games, the only thing that limits you here is your imagination]
In the next second, countless squares formed a slide, and the little man riding the pink pig got on the slide.
【Let's go anywhere you want, climb the highest mountain and dig the deepest hole】
A shot of the game screen, going through the forest and over the mountains.
............
【Build anything you want, no matter when】
The cubes are constantly stacked, and with the fast-forward, it quickly turns into a luxurious castle.
The villain stood at the entrance of the city wall and looked into the distance.
[Research the most advanced machines and take a roller coaster ride]
Inside the mine filled with torches, there was a winding railway track.
【You can also play with your friends and build your own world】
In the forest, several cube people kept smashing trees with axes, and then built together.
[You can also survive and adventure alone and explore the unsolved mysteries of the world]
Monsters appeared in the forest in the dark night, digging holes constantly, and magma poured in from the ground.
Create a dark and mysterious portal, behind the door is a strange world.
[There are no rules to abide by, how to take risks is up to you]
At the end of the game, the camera came to a blue sea.
Suddenly a whale emerged from the water and spewed seawater.
Under the sunlight, a rainbow appeared in the sky, and the white cloud composed of squares pieced together the title of the game - "Minecraft" (MINECRAFT).
From the perspective of visual effects, it is undoubtedly the worst work of Nebula games.
Not to mention, the image of Nebula Game Studios created by "Battlefield" and "Ayrden Circle".
Even "Jelly Bean Man" and "Naughty Kitchen" are visually better than this.
After all, this is pixel art, and Chen Xu did not say that special effects such as light and shadow were deliberately added, but only used high-definition materials, so it looks a little cheap at first glance.
But what really caused Liuliu, and what some players care about, is the one thing mentioned in this game video.
Sandbox game?
This pixel game called "Minecraft" is a sandbox game?
Never heard of this type! people.
Chapter 95 Day One
Hearing Liuliu's words, the audience in the live broadcast room also brushed up.
'yes! What is a sandbox game? Never heard of it! ’
'Propaganda means, since "Eldun's Circle" came out, there have been some so-called ring-based games. ’
'That's right, there are still some game makers that mainly play games with green conscience and no mall. After entering, they found the so-called green no mall. It's just another way of saying that if you want to take a breath in the game, he will charge some money. ’
‘No, bro, don’t use those game makers to compare with Nebula games. Although the old thief is very wicked in the two games of French Ring and Kitchen, Nebula games are really different from other games. ’
‘That’s right, how could the old thief use this kind of propaganda. ’
The audience in the live broadcast room chatted, even after knowing that "Minecraft" is a pixel-style game, many players who followed "473" were a little disappointed.
But for Nebula Games, they obviously still trust it.
"Everyone, stop arguing, whether it's a gimmick or something else, we won't know if we play."
On Liuliu's side, seeing that the rhythm of the live broadcast room seemed to be out of control, he quickly changed the topic and focused everyone's attention on the game.
Although it uses a high-definition texture pack, the capacity of Minecraft is not very large. With a network speed of 66 and the computer's processor and hard disk configuration, it can almost be called a second download and a second installation.
After entering the game, the LOGO logo of Nebula game skips.
The main menu interface of the game is a scene similar to a grassland. There are white clouds floating in the distant sky, and the sun shines through the white clouds on the ground.
The clouds in the sky form the name of the game "Minecraft".
It looks relatively fresh. The only thing that makes Liuliu a little unaccustomed to is that the screen performance of the entire game is all pixels.
Compared with the screen performance of "Ayrden's Circle" and "Battlefield" she played before, there is a not-so-pleasant word, that is, the screen is full of mosaics at a glance.
On the interface of the main menu, the contents of 'exit game', 'option settings', 'creative workshop' and 'new game' are written respectively.
There is also an option called community games, but there is nothing in it, so Liuliu is a little confused about what this piece is.
This is mainly the entrance of Chen Xuliu. Players can open their own community server and create their own game rules.
As for Nebula Games, you only need to do your own review work to ensure that there is no discordant content.
"Forget it, let's go to the single-player mode to see what the game is like."
Liuliu studied it for a while, then gave up and decided to go and see the single-player content of the game first.
There are two modes in the single player game, creative mode and adventure mode.
Among them, in the creative mode, the player will not be harmed, and the resources can be teleported at will. Liuliu directly excluded it.
In her opinion, this mode is most likely to let players have a good time.
The rest of the adventure mode is the normal gameplay.
I chose a mid-range normal difficulty, and began to create characters in Liuliu.
Men default to a template named Steve, and women default to a board named Alyx.
However, players can also pinch their own faces without using a custom template.
"Don't say, although it is a pixel game, the shape is still relatively distinct."
Liuliu said a little unexpectedly, although it is a pixel-style game, and the character's head is also a cube.
But the distinction between eyes, eyebrows, mouth, and nose is also very detailed.
At least one can see the difference at a glance, and with the brain supplement, there is probably a corresponding outline.
'Do you want to enable the novice prompt? ’
After Liuliu determined the options and generated the world seed, a pop-up window popped up.
This is triggered by the player every time a new world is generated.
It mainly introduces basic operations to players, such as how to collect materials and how to make tools.
After all, in the parallel world, there has never been a sandbox game. If there is no pre-guided, then players will slowly feel the charm of "Minecraft", and may not even survive the early stage.
Even with the accumulation of several games, players already have a lot of confidence in Nebula Games, but this kind of risk can be avoided. Why take it?
Without any hesitation, Liuliu directly chose to accept the prompt. After all, she had no idea how the game was played.
Next is the official game session. According to the instructions of the system, Liuliu simply operated it.
There are also jumping, running, and running. . . .
Very simple, nothing special, the same as most games.
The UI of the status item equipment interface is also very simple, concentrated at the bottom of the screen.
Life, hunger, etc., are also clearly recognizable.
"Next, do we need to collect wood and build tools?"
"So this is a survival and construction type of game?"
Liuliu looked at the prompt and took small steps of her own, ready to roll two trees.
Her current position is standing on a hill. The entire hill is made up of countless squares stacked, and there is a forest not far from the east.
Without any hesitation, Liuliu ran towards the direction of the trees.
She came to a tree and pressed the left mouse button, and then she saw the right hand of the pixel villain in the game stroking the tree back and forth at a very ghostly speed.
The right hand kept waving back and forth, and at the same time, the tree squares in the game began to show a cracked state.
Then, with a thud, it shattered and scattered all over the place, turning into small cubes.
It was directly inhaled into her backpack, and there was an extra piece of wood in the inventory.
Following the guide prompts, Liuliu rubbed two more trees with his bare hands.
