Game production: I created Mihoyo

"Minecraft" was tested for a total of 7 days. During this period, players can get official rewards from Mihoyo by giving feedback and posting gameplay videos. There are all kinds of virtual and physical rewards.

In the first three days, players posted some clips of playing"Minecraft".

Since everyone is a novice, the houses they built are very simple.

Some houses don't even have a door, let alone a window, and players have to rely on a hole to enter and exit. Some houses are built in a square shape, and the walls are like nesting dolls, one layer after another. I'm afraid that even the tomb raider and the general of the Fa Qiu would shake their heads when they see them.

《Minecraft has not received a warm response on various platforms. Most players played it for the sake of the game, and then were discouraged by the graphics.

The comments from players are also mixed.

"It's fine if she's not a pretty girl, but she actually used mosaics to fool us? Mihoyo, are you too proud, or are we players no longer able to lift a knife?"

"This is called a sandbox game, Mihoyo, I think you don't understand it at all"

"The activation code costs 1500 RMB. Fortunately, I didn't buy it. I saved money."

"I think it's fun. There aren't many games on computers that offer such freedom."

Xu Shuo had expected these comments.

《It is easy to be discouraged by the scenes in the game"Minecraft" just by watching other people's videos.

But once you get the hang of it, you can't stop. It's normal to stay up all night for a building.

But on the fourth day, a"Minecraft" game video uploaded by a UP host named Building Xiaobai went viral in the gaming circle.

At the beginning of the video, a preview of a courtyard building made of blocks was released.

The orthodox Chinese architecture, whether it is the domineering courtyard gate or the sloping roof, has been perfectly restored.

There are big red lanterns at the door, bamboos are planted along the wall, the courtyard is paved with stone bricks, and various ornamental plants are placed.

Compared with the buildings in the previous videos, anyone who sees it at first sight will subconsciously say"Wow, awesome.""

"Is this the same game as mine? Why haven't I seen any of your blocks?"

"We all have 9 years of compulsory education, why are you showing off like this?"

"Uncle police, I report that someone is cheating here!"

The rest of the video is about how to build a courtyard house.

After watching this video, the audience found that the UP host actually used the existing blocks in the game, but he combined the blocks according to his own needs to achieve a new effect.

Take the big red lantern for example, he used a lamp + red wool + stone button, and when placed vertically in sequence, it looks like a big red lantern.

In the teaching of Chinese-style roof construction, the UP host even took out the"Engineering Practice Rules" of the Ministry of Works of the Qing Dynasty for comparative teaching. The

"gable" and"ditch" in the video’……A series of professional vocabulary stunned everyone

"Damn, what kind of academic big shot is this?"

"What I lack is not the game, but imagination."

This player played"Minecraft" to its fullest and expanded the imagination of other players.

Buildings of different styles began to emerge one after another. Although none of them were as stunning as the courtyard house, they were much better looking than the previous coffin house.

The popularity of the game is gradually increasing, and more and more players who were not optimistic about, had no interest in, or were discouraged by mosaics have begun to take an interest in this game.

However, what everyone did not expect was that someone discovered a new way to play from another angle.

On the sixth day, someone uploaded a new video titled"When"Honkai Academy 2" meets"Minecraft". As soon as these two hot words were posted, the traffic soared, and the number of views easily exceeded one million.

After the audience came in, they found that the reason why the video was so popular was not only because of the good title, but also because of the unique content.

It was also"Minecraft", but he did not engage in architecture, but played painting.

In the game, he used blocks of different colors to place on the ground, restoring the scene of Kiana, the Herrscher, touching Mei's face at the end of the retrospective chapter of"Honkai Academy 2".

"Will a real Mihoyo player find a knife to eat himself?"

"Can this game be played like this???"

"Please draw a picture of Seele and Bronya kissing!"

However, this is not the end. On the 7th day, another player uploaded a new video.

This time, he did not build or paint, but sculpted.

He used tens of thousands of blocks to build a statue of Himeko Muliangta in the plain. Both the movements and the shapes were lifelike. If you have to find fault, the only thing left is that the statue has mosaics.

"The video seemed wrong no matter how I watched it. I felt much better after kneeling down to watch it."

"Is this playing the first (painting), second (sculpture) and third (architecture) arts in the ninth (game) art?"

"Too awesome! When can I be so awesome?"

The popularity of Minecraft has skyrocketed, and many platforms are discussing this game with high freedom and diverse gameplay.

Seeing everyone's comments, Xu Shuo thought that the best is yet to come.

These are only three kinds of art. When the note block and redstone are made, even the fourth art (music) can be played in Minecraft, and even the eighth art (movie) can be tried!

Xu Shuo opened the official Weibo account of Mihoyo, recorded the problems reported by players here, and then prioritized them and threw them to the front-end Xiao Lin to fix them.

The survival mode was not open for this test. Launching too many things at once would dazzle the players.

It is well known that the game Minecraft has no bugs, only features.

The interactions in survival mode will be more numerous and complex than creation, so the probability of generating features will be greater.

Therefore, he is preparing to add the online function to the second test and test the survival mode alone.

**

Penguin Company.

Ma Zhiyuan called the planning team leader to his office

"How is the development progress?"

"The game has been disassembled and the development has already started."

"The speed must be fast!"

Minecraft is very popular now. It would be great if the Penguin version could be launched before Mihoyo.

In this way, the popularity of Minecraft is the popularity of Penguin games.

At this time, the team leader said with a little hesitation:"Mr. Ma, there is no problem with game production, but the charging aspect is not easy to design."

"How can it be difficult to design?"Ma Zhiyuan frowned.

"I haven't found a reasonable point to charge. If I force the charging, I'm afraid the game will feel disconnected. How about a buyout system for this game?"

Ma Zhiyuan immediately shook his head:"No, how can a buyout make more money than in-app purchases? Leave the charging point to me, and you can talk to the developers."

""Okay, Mr. Ma."

Ma Zhiyuan watched the team leader leave.

"I am asked to design a charging point, what use is there for you?"
