in the studio.
The atmosphere was jubilant.
When the first day of sales of "Minecraft" came out, everyone's atmosphere was a bit dull. Although the sales were good and the game was considered a big hit, after all, there was no big hit, and it was completely compared with "A Thousand Prisons". Expectations are still a bit off.
But what happened later was very unexpected and kept surprising people.
From the first week's data to the first month's data, the sales and running water festivals of "Minecraft" are rising steadily, and the popularity on major video sites, live streaming sites, and game forums is also high. Suppressed "A Thousand Prisons"!
This also swept away the depressing atmosphere in the entire studio!

Qian Kun is working hard to build a house in "My World" on the PC.
He also has a ready-made architectural blueprint in his hand, and while comparing the blueprint, he builds one square in the game, very carefully.
Su Jinyu looked at him from behind: "You are really patient."
Qian Kun focused on stacking cubes and said, "It's okay, actually after discovering the fun of stacking cubes, it's really easy to get addicted to it, and an afternoon passes without paying attention."
Zheng Hongxi said: "I think the bigger challenge than patience is how to withstand the blow from the store manager."
Su Jinyu couldn't help laughing: "That's right, Qian Kun, it took you several days to build this building, and if you give it to the store manager, it will be finished in ten minutes."
Qian Kun was a little helpless: "Can you stop hitting me like this? The store manager... the store manager is a different kind, he is a fake player. If I compare with him, then I won't play any games."
Su Jinyu nodded: "That's right... Speaking of which, where is the store manager?"
…
On the second floor of the experience store, Chen Mo was making a video.
This time the video is quite special, it is not an architectural video like the Forbidden City or the Old Summer Palace.
The construction video was really shocking at the beginning, but after the players' ingenuity was fully mobilized, more and more professional construction teams appeared in the game, and good buildings emerged one after another.
Under the baptism of wave after wave of "other people's world", players have gradually accepted all kinds of perverted buildings.
What Chen Mo wants to do now is a promotional video that can make people feel the charm of "Minecraft" more than architectural videos.
In-game recording, editing, post-production. Chen Mo took care of it all by himself. Anyway, it wasn't a particularly difficult task. A normal video up host could do it, so it was even easier for Chen Mo.
The production of this video is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in some in-game data and perspectives, which only Chen Mo can obtain.
There was nothing wrong with watching it once, so Chen Mo directly opened Weibo and posted the video online.
Now Chen Mo's Weibo has become the best way for players to learn about new games. Every day, many players check Weibo to see if Chen Mo has released the latest news.
As soon as this Weibo was posted, it quickly caused frantic forwarding.
Weibo content: ""My World" big data! Come and see what horrible things these brats have piled up!"
Players are a little puzzled, big data
"Big data" is a relatively high-quality term, which is generally popular in the IT industry. It mainly refers to sorting out and summarizing some very large data information, and analyzing some special trends and prospects from it.
Of course, this word is also abused, and it is also used to describe some awesome data.
But generally speaking, the game industry doesn't use the term "big data" very much. Although the game itself has a lot of data, it is generally seen by the designers themselves, and it is rarely made public.
What is Chen Mo's so-called "big data"
Click on the video.
The screen content of the video is nothing special, just some real scenes in the "Minecraft" game, the key lies in the information revealed in the video.
""Minecraft" was launched in January, and the cumulative number of players has exceeded 3 million."
"Currently, Minecraft has 30 world servers with a total surface area of 3 million square kilometers, roughly equivalent to the total area of my country's oceans and land."
"The surface area of each world server is 100,000 square kilometers, which is about a province in reality."
"So far, the actual land surface area transformed by players on 30 servers is 158,038 square kilometers, and the average land surface area actually transformed by each server is 5,267.9 square kilometers, which is roughly half of the initial planet."
"The average number of blocks transformed (digged or built) by each player is 520,000."
"Among them, the player who modified the most cubes is the player [Lin Zhan] in server 1, with a total of 1.483 million. If these cubes are spread out on a plane, it is roughly equivalent to 140 football fields."
"The guild with the most modified blocks is the [Huaxia Geographical Association] in server 3, with a total of 783 million blocks. If these blocks are spread out on a plane, it is about the same size as the capital city."
"You brats are so good at digging, do your family members know? (manually funny)"
"Next is some interesting server ecology."
"District 1 is the earliest district to open the server, and it is the home of architects. This is the district with the most architects in reality (it is said). And these architects are doing their best to show us the high-end in this game building skills."
"For example, the city in the sky built entirely of glass, the abyss catacombs that lead directly to the magma, and the desert pyramids that are built higher and higher... It is said that these people still have plans to dig through the entire planet and build an earth-centered train. I sincerely suggest that they do not this way."
…
"The largest guild in District 3 is [Huaxia Geographical Association]. They are a guild whose mission is to transform the terrain of the entire planet. These people try to transform the terrain of the entire district into Chinese terrain."
"Of course, this is a very ambitious project. So far, they have transformed many well-known terrains such as the Hengduan Mountains and the Tianfu Basin. But also because of this reason, the technological level in this area is extremely backward, and it is still stuck in the era of cold weapons. .”
…
"District 7 is where the militants are concentrated. It is filled with all kinds of chaos and explosions every day. The 13 Grand Dukes will fight in a row, and the whole planet will be caught in the flames of war."
"Of course, District 7 is also the district with the best military technology development. All technology trees serve the war. Currently, District 3 already has four large airports."
"Area 8 is a peace-loving area. Their only pleasure is to climb the technology tree, and their ultimate goal is to realize manned spaceflight. At present, they are actively going underground, searching for various rare mineral veins, and producing all kinds of materials necessary for rocket manufacturing. parts."
"Let us look forward to the moment when they can complete the manned spaceflight and realize the historic leap in the online version of "My World"!"
…
"District 14 is the district with the most local tyrants. At present, the entire district has spent 1.94 million on architectural blueprints, although most of these blueprints are not enough to build. (manually funny)"
"In addition, [seraph] and [Milk Bread] in the 14th district are also the players who bought the most blueprints. The former bought the entire central city, while the latter bought Stormwind City, Lordaeron, and the entire west. All the buildings in the illusion zone."
…
"The above is the status of each region, more exciting, all in the network mode of "Minecraft"! PS, don't forget to go shopping in 'Chen Mo's World'."
