Whether it is a private server, single-player mode, or official server, it is full of very excited players.
Without exception, all the players who visited the buildings that Chen Xu placed in the display server immediately entered "Minecraft" with excited hearts, ready to show off their skills and build the buildings in their minds. .
In the office of Nebula Games, although it is the Spring Festival, the importance of "Minecraft" to the development of the Nebula Game platform is taken into consideration.
Therefore, Chen Xu also told everyone in the team about working overtime during the New Year, but of course it didn't take much.
Mainly responsible for various contents during the Chinese New Year. Employees who live in Shanghai and are on duty during the Chinese New Year will work while non-local employees can go back to celebrate the New Year and work from home.
Of course, the corresponding welfare plans are also complete. In addition, the year-end bonus was just distributed a year ago, so many people are still willing to stay and work overtime.
Even because the number of willing people exceeded Chen Xu's expectations, he had to draw lots to choose. Of course, this was mainly because the overtime pay and various benefits were sufficient.
Walking out of the office, Yang Xin came over with an excited face. Qin Yi, Lin Tao and others were also beside him.
Everyone also lives in the Magic City, and everyone is full of excitement now.
"Mr. Chen! The current sales volume has exceeded 3 million! According to today's trend, it is very likely to exceed 4 million!" Yang Xin said excitedly.
The rest of Qin Yi and others were also very excited.
"Well, we need to pay attention to the server. The backup server can also be started." Chen Xu nodded, indicating that he knew to tell Qin Yi and the others.
"Mr. Chen, aren't you excited?" Yang Xin looked at Chen Xu in a daze, including Qin Yi and others next to him.
Sales may reach 4 million on the first day!
It can definitely be regarded as a shocking number in the gaming circle.
Although the price of "Minecraft" is a big bargain compared with large games, the sales volume is real.
Maybe it can even hit tens of millions of sales in the first week.
"Don't forget, "Minecraft" started pre-ordering one month in advance, and it's just started. There's no need to be so excited. Even the overseas version hasn't been launched yet." Chen Xu said very calmly .
Previous videos such as Along the River During the Qingming Festival and the Forbidden City all played a very good role in publicity.
Coupled with the long-standing reputation of Nebula Games, "Minecraft" has reached the stage that seems scary now, counting the sales on the first day and previous pre-orders.
But Chen Xu knew that it was still just the beginning.
These videos only show the potential of the game. To truly feel the fun and charm of the game, players must fully participate in it to feel it. This is a very playable game that becomes more and more fun the more you play it.
At this stage, we can only make a good start. Even in the current creative workshop, there are only a few building group mods put in by Chen Xu.
At the same time, Chen Xu also made some settings for the mod.
That is to protect the rights of mod authors.
For example, mod authors can set whether subsequent players can make changes to the original mod.
Player a built a castle, but player b just changed some things on it and then used it as his own mod. This situation will be restricted.
After the player builds the corresponding building, he or she can set whether other players can make secondary creations after uploading.
Also for the "Minecraft" community, Chen Xu also set up a department specifically to maintain the community.
The reason why "Minecraft" was so popular in the previous life is completely inseparable from its good community environment.
After chatting with Qin Yi and others about the current situation of "Minecraft", Chen Xu also returned to his office, opened the management background of "Minecraft" and checked the relevant data in the game.
Currently, there are three main groups of official servers.
Survive, create and show.
On display, there are servers stacked with buildings such as Along the River During the Qingming Festival and the Forbidden City, where players can freely visit.
As for survival, it is a large server that can accommodate 2,000 people. There are no hard and fast rules in this mode, and everything depends on the players' own development.
The entire game world is a very large map, and the map appearance is also randomly generated.
In the game, players are also randomly assigned a map location.
Of course, each player will be surrounded by many other players.
Because it is a multiplayer mode after all, if you really start with a pair of fists, you will not be able to meet other players until you develop to a certain level.
Then there is no need to put in multiplayer mode.
So under normal circumstances, when players collect supplies in the early stage, they can basically encounter other players.
At this time, it’s up to the players to decide whether to stay together, be hostile to each other, or develop independently.
Chen Xu and Nebula Games will not make any intervention in this regard.
Of course, the server capacity of 2,000 people is the upper limit, and some players will definitely leave.
But in fact, according to the plan, as long as one-tenth of the players stay, it is completely sufficient for the ecological environment of a server.
However, in addition to this kind of server with no rules, there are also servers specially prepared for players who like to build houses and peaceful construction.
In these servers, players cannot attack each other, but of course the monster settings are still retained.
At the same time, in the game, in order to prevent naughty children from destroying their homes, players in the peaceful mode server can set the building not to be damaged by others, and have a skill to save the building at a specific point in time, which is equivalent to an archive setting. .
It can be used unlimitedly in the peaceful mode, but in the normal multiplayer mode, there is a CD time. At the same time, the building is not indestructible mode, but depending on the material used in the building, there will be a special durability that other players can If you want to dismantle it, you need specific tools, and the speed will be relatively slow.
In addition, no matter which mode it is, players in the game can save their data as archives and transfer them to the single-player survival mode. Of course, it is only one-way.
In the previous life, these gameplays existed, but they were only some community private servers. Regarding these settings, Chen Xu estimated that some players would like them, but there would also be players who wouldn't like them.
But it doesn't matter, because the core of "Minecraft" lies in freedom.
You can't say which mode is the real way to play "Minecraft".
The other is the gameplay of some subsequent mini-games, but Chen Xu is not ready to release these contents in official mode.
After all, the early stage relies on official guidance, and the later stage relies more on the power of the player community.
Of course, Chen Xu is not unprepared. If it doesn't work, he can use a private account and pretend to be an ordinary mod maker to publish it!
