Various disturbances in the gaming industry regarding sandbox games have not affected Chen Xu.
Because of the promotion model of "Minecraft", the time is basically completely determined.
After New Year's Day, on January 3rd, which happened to be the first day of the twelfth lunar month, a single-player test of "Minecraft" was conducted.
The multiplayer mode is not enabled for the time being, and only the normal friend online and single-player functions are enabled for a period of five days.
Wait until February 1st, which is also the first day of the first lunar month, and the entire network will be officially online.
Including the publicity model, Chen Xu and Zhang Yida have already decided on this aspect.
In addition to advertising promotion, a special mode needs to be adopted this time, which is to create some buildings in "Minecraft" that will shock players' jaws, as well as some simple redstone applications.
To put it bluntly, it’s about showing off your skills.
Let players know what kind of game "Minecraft" is and what content they can play in it.
This kind of operation is not a new trick.
After all, game promotion never departs from its roots.
Just like some games, players will experience a wave of memories as soon as they are played.
In Memory Kill, the player has full level and all skills and is equipped with a divine outfit.
Why
The purpose is to give players a sense of expectation for the subsequent content of the game, and to let them understand that this game can still be played in this way, and they can experience that refreshing feeling as long as they play to the end.
In the same way, game promotional videos and movie promotional clips are basically all in this way, making players look forward to the subsequent content.
However, due to the special gameplay of "Minecraft", all the content in the game has to be created by Chen Xu and his team.
But the only good news is that over at Galaxy Intelligent Technology, Zhong Yue and the others have made quite a breakthrough in the field of AI intelligence.
Chen Xu estimated that this was also caused by the countdown progress bar, which was about to end. With various patent applications, it can only be said that Galaxy Intelligent Technology was going crazy.
For the industry's top artificial intelligence, Galaxy Intelligent Technology is completely incomparable, because it is not a conceptual thing. According to Chen Xu's request, the main research here is the performance in the game.
Compared with the relatively stiff performance when it was used in "Dark Souls: Age of First Fire", there has been considerable progress.
Through Zhong Yue's technology, Chen Xu also specially developed a tool that can be quickly constructed.
In the previous life, there were similar tools, which could save a lot of time.
As for Chen Xu, it can be simpler, because through the AI technology of Galaxy Intelligent Technology, it can be further generated by first building it on the software, and then using AI recognition in the editor background.
Of course, some things that are too complicated still have to be done manually by Chen Xu and others.
But it's also a lot more convenient, so this is Chen Xu's motivation to promote in this way.
In the future, we can also use this to launch some memorable official building groups at intervals.
As for this tool, Chen Xu does not plan to launch it, because even if it is launched, players will not be able to use it. The question involves the computing resources of AI, unless players spend money.
But except for the rich, Chen Xu estimates that most players cannot afford it according to the charging standards, so Chen Xu will still launch some relatively simple brush tools such as 'Creation God' in the future.
After completing part of the building complex, Chen Xu stretched out and prepared to go out to see Qin Yi's results.
After all, the content of "Minecraft" has been developed. Although "Dark Soul" still has the dlcs of Seal City and Painting World, there is no need to rush this area. It is already being worked on anyway. The big deal is to wait for three days. The same goes for the anniversary launch.
Therefore, all employees of the company are currently involved in the process of building a house, and today is the first day.
However, Chen Xu did not have any expectations for what they could create. Instead, he planned to use the tools to make the main mold, and then give the finished product to them, make some minor modifications, and follow the template to make some Fill it with stuff.
When he came to the project room, Chen Xu saw a group of people sitting in a row, with screens of "Minecraft" on their computers.
Everyone seems to have a very tacit understanding and communicate with each other in various ways.
'I have completed the work here. Qin Yi, please do a good job in the internal construction. '
'no problem! '
'Sister Xin, is the foundation ready? '
'Don't worry about what I do! '
Listening to the voices of the people communicating, they seemed quite decent, which surprised Chen Xu.
Did you guess wrong
But upon walking in, Chen Xu fell into silence.
"Are you building the Pharaoh's Pyramid of ancient Egyptian civilization?" Chen Xu finally couldn't help but speak after looking at the pictures in the game.
Everyone was stunned when they heard Chen Xu's words, Pharaoh's Pyramid
No, although they had considered it before, they rejected the plan in the end.
But soon everyone realized, what is the Pharaoh's Pyramid
Isn’t it the tomb of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh
This means that the houses they built are ugly!
Suddenly everyone was unhappy: "Mr. Chen, this is a building built by all of us using our ingenuity. It is not an ancient tomb at all."
Yang Xin also interrupted: "Yes, yes, Mr. Chen, you are looking down on us! But we really don't know much about architecture. It looks ugly now, but in fact we are based on the French Orsay." The museum was built as a prototype. Originally we thought about building the Forbidden City or the Mogao Grottoes, but then we thought it would be a bit difficult, so we decided to build something simple first.”
The Musée d'Orsay as a prototype
Chen Xu opened the search engine silently, looked at the photos of the Musee d'Orsay, and then looked at the lump in front of Yang Xin and the others.
Anyway, he couldn't connect the two.
Musée d'Orsay, who gave you the courage to say this
"Forget it, let me fix it for you."
Looking at everyone, Chen Xu sighed and took Yang Xin's position.
First, he increased the movement speed in the game, and then Chen Xu began to skillfully use props for construction.
Everyone gathered next to Chen Xu and watched him build.
This speed is much faster than them.
I just don’t know what it is.
This doesn't look like a house either.
"What is Mr. Chen doing?"
"It seems to be a statue?"
"I understand!"
"Sister Xin, what do you know?"
"Statue! Remember, there are various sculptures next to the Musée d'Orsay?"
"Mr. Chen has been there? Don't you need to compare photos?"
Everyone curiously discussed.
After almost twenty minutes, Chen Xu placed the last brick, then released the mouse and clapped his hands: "It's done!"
Looking at the building in front of them, everyone fell into silence.
"By the way, Mr. Chen did make a sculpture just like Sister Xin said."
"Well, it's not just a sculpture, it's also a cultural heritage of the famous ancient Egyptian civilization."
“The famous Sphinx!”
"So Mr. Chen, what are you implying?"
Looking at the lifelike Sphinx that Chen Xu had just built, everyone looked at each other.
This is fucking implying that the houses they built look like small graveyards!
"Ahem, I didn't say that, you all said it yourself!" Chen Xu coughed twice.
Listening to Chen Xu's words, everyone was speechless.
Do they have to say this themselves? It is no longer a hint, but an explicit statement!
But then again, now that I look back and take a closer look, it seems to be quite similar!
It is square and square, made of soil and stone. Because the windows are to be made in the later stage, it is now completely closed and looks airtight. All it needs is a torch for lighting. Doesn’t it look like the shape of the ancient tombs in archaeological documentaries
After staring at it for a few seconds, Yang Xin hesitated, especially with the Sphinx in front of him.
Because she found herself looking at the Sphinx in front of her.
Slowly, the prototype of the Musée d'Orsay in my mind gradually changed.
After pondering for a moment, Yang Xin looked at the colleague next to him and said, "How about... let's change it?"
"Change it?"
"How about we change it to a pyramid? And it seems to be easier to make!" Yang Xin suggested.
"And you have to know that this building renovation plan is very normal, just like painting. Maybe what Qi Baishi painted at first was not shrimps; what Xu Beihong painted was not horses, but later they discovered that they had the talent to draw shrimps and horses. , so we leaned over here." Yang Xin explained.
"Sister Xin, please pull her down!" Ruan Ningxue next to her couldn't help but say.
Including Qin Yi and others also expressed emotion.
During the development of "Minecraft", everyone actually experienced the fun of "Minecraft".
But when it comes to building a house, the result is always different from what you imagined!
