Finally, after several rounds of warm-up, both "Minecraft" and "A Thousand Prisons" have released their launch dates.
Both games are scheduled to be launched on August 1. In terms of price, "Thousand Prisons" is priced at 1288, while "Minecraft" is only priced at 128, which is exactly one-tenth of "Thousand Prisons".
The price of "A Thousand Prisons" seems to be at a normal level among domestic VR games, but it is actually on the low side.
Because it is the same as "Diablo", it is a stand-alone game, and there are very few value-added services in the game. Compared with other domestic vr games, it should be considered relatively cheap.
Of course, this is not to say that Emperor and Dynasty Entertainment has a conscience, but because the resources of "A Thousand Prisons" do not consume so much, and many scenes are reused, so the research and development costs are greatly reduced.
Dichao Huyu set the price a little lower, hoping to sell more.
As for Minecraft.
Many people are amazed that "Minecraft" is sold so cheaply. For a vr game, 128 is like giving away for free.
(Generally speaking, dividing vr games by ten is the price of pc games, that is to say, "Minecraft" is roughly equivalent to 12 yuan pc games on the vr platform.)
But in fact, Chen Mo is still expensive.
Because making "Minecraft" really doesn't require any investment. When developing the PC version, the investment is almost negligible. Even if it is changed to the VR version, after so many optimizations and adjustments, the total investment is only more than 10 million .
For Chen Mo, more than 10 million yuan is really not a big cost. The main cost of making "Minecraft" is time cost.
Therefore, Chen Mo didn't set the price so high. What he wanted was sales. Only when the sales increased and there were more players could "Minecraft" show its true potential.
Chen Mo's goal is to install "Minecraft" in every vr game cabin in the country.
…
On August 1st, "My World" and "Thousand Prisons" are officially launched!
After the two games were opened for purchase, players who have been paying attention to these two games began to download them one after another, and eagerly installed them in the game cabin to experience them.
Moyu live broadcast platform, Lin Xue's live broadcast room.
The screen was still black, and the audience was posting barrage discussions one after another.
"Axue is switching the game cabin signal? Live VR games today?"
"That's right, I heard that "A Thousand Prisons" is released today, so I should be going to play the official server, after all, Ah Xue is a die-hard fan of "Darkness"."
"Uh, shouldn't die-hard fans of "Darkness" play Chen Mo's new game?"
"Playing with wool, it's a building block game, who wants to watch it."
"Huh? There is a signal, and the screen of the game cabin has come out."
On the screen of the live broadcast room, an information screen of the game cabin appeared.
The vr games in this world can also be broadcast live, but it needs to be converted into a live broadcast signal for players to watch through the game cabin.
To give a simple example, for a first-person rpg such as "A Thousand Prisons", the player's perspective is first-person, and the field of view is 124 degrees. behind the character's head), the field of view will also change to 90 degrees on the computer screen.
After all, if the video signal from the first-person perspective is directly converted into a live broadcast, it will be too shaky, and most viewers will be dizzy.
The current interface is equivalent to the desktop of the game cabin. There are a lot of games, and "Thousand Prisons" is in a more conspicuous position.
As a result, before the barrage had time to be complacent, Lin Xue had already opened "My World".
The bullet screen was confused.
"Huh? "My World"? Really "My World"?"
"Axue has changed her sex? How did she play this kind of building block game?"
"Day, I don't want to watch it!"
"Upstairs, if you don't like to watch, go away, we love to watch whatever Ah Xue plays!"
Lin Xue said: "Today I will broadcast "Minecraft" for everyone. This game was also developed by Chen Mo. Hey, I won't explain too much, let's go directly to the game."
Lin Xue's somewhat ambiguous remarks caused a lot of gossip in the barrage.
"What does Axue mean? What do you mean don't explain more?"
"I feel that Axue trusts Chen Mo's game very much..."
"I, why do I smell something different!"
Among the question marks in the barrage, the screen cut to the game screen of "My World".
Lin Xue was in a wilderness at this time, and in the distance was the rising sun.
A few white clouds in the sky make up the game logo: Minecraft. There is also the English name minecraft.
Not far from Lin Xue's left front, there is a hut made of cubes, with four large characters [My World] written on it.
On the left is a path that winds to a dense forest, and many buildings in the distance can be seen faintly. The sign says "Others' World".
On Lin Xue's right, there is a huge observatory with a huge globe on it. It says [Everyone's World].
There is a slightly smaller portal in the inconspicuous place on the right side of the observatory, on which is written [Chen Mo's World].
In addition, there is a building next to the hut [My World], which is similar to a warehouse, and it says [Resource Center].
Of course, all the buildings are made of blocks, with a strong mosaic style.
It seems that this scene should be the game login screen.
Lin Xue tried to walk around the scene, and looked down, only to find that her image in the game had also become a toy villain.
The audience can see more clearly from the third-person perspective. At this time, Xue Lin is a bit like a villain in the "Frozen" series of toys in Leggo blocks. The q version has a standard three-headed body, blond hair, and is wearing a cute white skirt and Stockings, very cute to walk.
"Minecraft" will automatically read the player account data in the game cabin when the player first logs in, and use this as a basis to determine the initial gender of the character.
A cute puppy came to Lin Xue with a display board in its mouth.
"The character image has been randomly selected for you according to the gender of the account. Do you need to customize it yourself?"
Xue Lin chose [Yes] almost without hesitation.
If the game doesn't provide face pinching service, then forget it, since it provides, how can you not pinch face
Lin Xue's perspective has changed, from the previous first-person perspective to a third-person perspective, looking down at her character as if her soul is out of her body.
At the same time, related interface ui appeared on both sides of the character for Lin Xue to freely choose to change clothes.
"It's quite rich..."
Lin Xue flipped through it, and she found that although the game looked simple, all the functions were quite complete. Take the system of pinching the face as an example, the character's face, hat, jacket, pants, shoes, etc. can be freely selected, and the height of the character is even allowed to be adjusted within a certain range.
After half an hour of careful selection, Lin Xue finally picked out a satisfactory outfit.
"Well... which mode should I play first?"
Lin Xue thought for a while: "Let's go to the stand-alone game to experience it first, otherwise it will be bad to cheat people in the online mode."
