Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

There are more and more disclosures of online games.

On websites such as game forums, there are also fierce discussions among players about several new games to be launched in the near future.

Among them, the most discussed are the VR games represented by Interactive Entertainment, as well as the games promoted by Yilong.

Including Tenghua, he also joined in the fun, revealing a few games in production.

In addition, it is the carnival of some second-tier game manufacturers.

As for Chen Xu's game, it is relatively bland.

In addition to the launch of the corresponding official Minecraft website, some players have already learned from the video materials revealed by the experience store.

There's not much content left on it.

Although there are some videos with real machine effects, for most players, the content of Minecraft is also disagreeable.

And the industry is also discussing this.

"Is Chen Xu's "Minecraft" really just a test of the waters? It's been almost a week now, and there's still no movement. "

"What else do you expect from a pixel game?"

"It's the pixel game in the publicity, how much movement can Chen Xu make? Can he get more than 80 million like "Warcraft" to make a CG animation plot?"

That's right. "

"But I still feel a little unaccustomed, this time Chen Xu feels a little low-key, even if it is to test the waters, there should still be a publicity that should be there, right?"

"Also, Chen Xu's "Minecraft" feels a little perfunctory in terms of publicity. "

"Could it be that Chen Xu is holding back his big move again?"

"Don't talk about it, a pixel building block game, what kind of big move can you hold?"

Not only in the game industry, but also many players who follow Minecraft are also a little confused.

But just when many players are confused.

Suddenly, Chen Xu's official blog, as well as game media such as the Game Research Society, suddenly sent out news and news articles.

"In Minecraft, you can even play Lordaeron!"

"A pixel game can do this!"

"Lordaeron, Playground, Qingming Riverside Map, Forbidden City, is this really a pixel game?"

"It's not just building blocks!, it's creativity!"

Chen Xu, who is well aware of the potential of "Minecraft", naturally will not be silent in promoting this part.

Build buildings with the team in advance, determine the mode of operation and promotion, and communicate with the media for business.

Chen Xu had already arranged it.

The topic of "Minecraft" exploded in an instant.

And the performance in this content is also very simple.

Inside is a video of the game.

Watching "Minecraft" pop up suddenly, players are still a little confused, but various game designers still don't understand anything.

This Chen Xu has been prepared for a long time!

Tenghuali Youzifang, as well as Yilong's eastward flow, looked at a topic about "Minecraft" on the Internet.

Like most players, they have clicked on its promotional video for the first time, ready to find out.

'This video is a live game and all buildings can be reproduced in the game......

The video begins with a black overly long segment, followed by an explanatory subtitle.

Let the players who watch it have not yet eased up.

But the next moment when the video content appeared, all the players were shocked in an instant.

My roommate asked me why I was kneeling in front of the computer!"

"Is this a pixel game? Is this really the pixel game that Sister Xin has been playing for the other day?"

"Ah Wei is dead! My picture effect, Chen Xu, don't use CG animation to deceive me!"

"This is the Qingming Riverside Map! Oh my God!"

Countless players who clicked on the video were instantly stunned by the eye-catching images.

In a hazy drizzle, it seems to have crossed the span of thousands of years, returning to the banks of the Bianhe River thousands of years ago.

The first thing that appeared was the rainy weather, and the dripping rain fell on the empty streets of Bianliang.

It seems to be a metaphor for the hidden crisis behind this bustling city.

The camera slowly rises into the air, encompassing the entire Bianliang and Bianhe River.

Then the camera slowly zooms in on the buildings on the street, and you can clearly see the buildings on the streets and alleys, as well as the temple attic.

Through the streets, canals, lofts in the sky, and fields, the rain gradually stopped.

The sky was also bright, and the light was shining on the streets of Bianliang.

Hundreds of people laughed and laughed.

Then the footage of the video begins to change with the lens.

Vendors selling things in the streets and alleys, as well as tourists.

The boats on the canal were poets, merchants, and dignitaries.

On the road outside Bianliang, along the street are merchants who owe cattle and horses.

In the fields were farmers at work and children playing.

As time progressed, Bianliang gradually entered the night.

The boat is moored in the middle of the Bianhe River, and countless Kong Ming lanterns float in the sky.

Then the footage of the video gradually fell into darkness, and the melodious music slowly disappeared.

But the next moment, a burst of passionate BGM sounded, accompanied by the sound effects familiar to players.

Lordaeron appeared in the eyes of all players.

The bell rang, and the sky was filled with flower petals.

The pixel version of Arthas returned to Lordaeron as a hero, but the Frost Sorrow in his hand is familiar to all Warcraft players.

Then the camera quickly switches, the magnificent city, the solemn palace.

Shows the whole of Lordaeron in front of the player.

Then another bell rang, and after a short black screen, what appeared in the player's sight turned out to be an amusement park.

A series of complex tracks, countless pixel figures sit on the car to experience the fun of roller coasters.

The merry-go-round at the southwest corner is in motion.

Giant statues of Arthas, Illidan and Tyrande are also scattered throughout the amusement park.

As the sun sets in the game, the screen gradually falls into darkness.

But this video is not only that, at the same time, the video uploaded by Chen Xu still has a 2P.

The content is fast-forwarded to show the player how to build these things in the game.

It means that these things, as long as the player wants the same, can be reproduced in the game.

Moreover, Chen Xu did not use follow-up rendering of the light and shadow in the Qingming Riverside Picture, but relied on a light and shadow special effect of the game to show it.

While it's definitely a post-render that's a little better, it's also easy to find fault.

Relying entirely on one piece of content in the game itself is not so much of a thing.

And the players who watched this video were all suppressed at this moment.
