Game Making: The Latest Chapter Begins With Healing the Player

Chapter 208: The game is a beta version, and so is the house you built!

There were only two people in the office, Chen Xu and Qin Yi. Chen Xu turned off the demo of the first version of "Minecraft" and then opened the previous design concept draft.

This part belongs to the synthesis and technology system in "Minecraft".

Thanks to the technology of the parallel world, content that was difficult to achieve in the previous life can be solved.

Add the content of the game itself directly, rather than using trickery methods through mods.

Just like Redstone Technology, various materials and tools are used to build parts and control units, with corresponding model shells, so that they can move in the game.

The most intuitive manifestation in the game is that you can actually build a car instead of using red stone to make a rail mine car.

"But Mr. Chen, is this too complicated? Can players play this part of the content?"

"And this simple part and control unit is still relatively limited. Isn't this red stone technology too complicated?" Qin Yi scratched his head and said.

Just looking at it made him feel a little numb.

"Don't underestimate players, their abilities are more powerful than you think." Chen Xu couldn't help but smile after hearing Qin Yi's words.

"And I'm not planning to throw it all to the players. We are just working on this setting during development. The first version for players will not be released yet." Chen Xu explained.

The content is rich, but it cannot be thrown all at once to the players. I want to let the players know how rich the content is.

Just like when you play a game, you want to clear all the side tasks at the beginning, but when you open the map at the beginning, you find that the game manufacturer tells you how difficult it is to complete the task, because on the map? They are so densely packed that they are countless.

On the contrary, this formed a different kind of persuasion. I wanted to tell players how rich the content of my game was, but it scared them away.

And as far as "Minecraft" is concerned, this game relies not only on the official release of new content by the game, but also on the countless groups of players who love this game and jointly shape the community environment of the game to create its unique miracle. with splendor.

Therefore, for Chen Xu, subsequent publicity, including content disclosure, is more of an inspiration to players, letting them understand that this can still be done and practice it.

Prepare the raw materials of sand, cement and steel bars.

As for what kind of building can be built.

That depends on the players themselves.

Whether it’s the module system that extends these functions or the content of the game itself.

After all, 'creation' is the core of Minecraft.

… … …

The development work of "Minecraft" is progressing very smoothly, and there are no difficulties in the content of the game itself. After all, in the previous life, this game was independently developed by an individual, and there was no difficulty in making it at all.

The main difficulty for Chen Xu is how to allow players to make mods more conveniently and openly.

And this area has been slowly overcome through continuous testing.

By late November, the content of "Minecraft" has basically been completed, but of course there is still some distance to go before the actual finished game.

Chen Xu is also discussing with Zhang Yida's operation team what model to use in the future to promote "Minecraft".

After all, unlike the previous "Don't Starve", the strategic status of "Minecraft" is completely on the same level as "Dark Souls".

However, it is still in the discussion stage, and there will still be some time before it can be truly determined and promoted.

In the office, Chen Xu glanced at the time, turned off the computer and walked out.

When I came to the rest area, I saw a group of people gathered around to experience the game "Minecraft".

It is currently under development, and employees within the company are the testers at this stage.

"Haha, sister Xin, is this your home? Haha!"

Ruan Ningxue burst into laughter from the crowd.

Then Qin Yi, Lin Tao and others burst into laughter, and the crowd was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"Haha, Sister Xin, absolutely amazing!"

"If you don't agree with the wall, then I will obey you, Sister Xin!"

Hearing the movement, Chen Xu also went over and took a look.

On the computer screen in front of Yang Xin, there is a house surrounded by wood. From a distance, it looks like a big cube. The most important thing is that this thing is airtight. There is a wooden door at the door, with inserts on both sides. Full of torches for lighting.

Then I walked into the house and saw that it was decorated in a log style, very close to nature.

As for the layout of the home, it is obvious that it adopts a simple style.

There is a workbench for crafting items, a storage box, and a bed in the corner, but there is nothing else.

No, four torches were placed on the walls on both sides of the house, fully responding to the call for energy conservation and emission reduction.

When Yang Xin was building the house, his sense of self was quite good.

After hearing everyone's words, I also walked out of the house at this time, walked around twice and looked carefully, and suddenly felt a little unreasonable.

The more she looked at it, the more she felt like a matchbox.

Coupled with the few candles, it has the smell of a small dark room in a prison.

This look is indeed a bit embarrassing.

Of course, although she thought so in her heart, she still acted very calmly on the surface.

"How can I see the house under construction? It's just like when we make a game. The game I'm playing now is still in the unfinished beta stage, so naturally my house is also a beta house!" Looking at everyone's eyes The look in Yang Xin's eyes forced him to think logically.

Then Yang Xin, probably feeling that he might not be convincing enough, continued: "And to be honest, my house is not that bad. It doesn't leak when it rains or air leaks in winter. Although it looks a little shabby, it's strong and durable. "

Looking at Yang Xin who was still defending, Chen Xu, who had been silent next to him, finally couldn't help but interrupt: "To be honest, the beta version of the game will not bear the blame! After all, the blame is too bad."

"Originally, my plan for the follow-up was that we would all be involved in building some buildings for later use, and lead players to understand some of the unique selling points of the game. However, I think this task will be difficult for you to shoulder."

Chen Xu's original plan was for members of the team to build some classic buildings and character sculptures together.

For example, the classic buildings in "Dark Soul", such as fireproof sacrificial halls and other distinctive features.

Although Chen Xu can specialize in making a construction tool for most of the work, there are still many places that require manual work.

At that time, it can be used as a promotion for the game.

But now looking at Yang Xin, a building that looks like a small black room in a prison, Chen Xu feels that the employees involved in this construction plan should be able to -1.

"Ahem, so Mr. Chen, when will we put the game online!"

Listening to Chen Xu's words, looking at the small black room on the computer, Yang Xin closed the game on the desktop with lightning speed, clicked not to save it, and then changed the subject and asked.

"There are still some contents that have not been added, but it is almost there, but it is different from the past. After New Year's Day, we will conduct a small-scale test, mainly to see the feedback from players and whether there are any defects in the experience that need to be corrected. "Chen Xu thought for a while and said.
