Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

In Fengyun Games, Chen Xu was discussing with the person in charge of Xingbang Software about the overseas distribution of"Minecraft"

"No problem, let's make time for an interview on Saturday afternoon."After chatting briefly for a while, we agreed on a time, and Chen Xu hung up the phone.

As the popularity of"Minecraft" continues to rise in China, many overseas agencies have also approached Chen Xu, including interactive entertainment, etc. Giant.

And unlike the previous"Warcraft", it also made a lot of concessions in terms of conditions.

However, Chen Xu still chose Xingbang Software.

Mainly for several reasons.

On the one hand, the conditions of Xingbang Software are better, and secondly, On the one hand, the previous cooperation between the two parties was very good, and on the third hand, although Xingbang Software is a company, it has connections and connections.

Although the overseas power is a little worse than interactive entertainment, it can't be worse. Where to go?

The previous overseas success of"Warcraft" has proved this. For Chen Xu, it is enough for Xingbang Software to have an early channel to expand the popularity of the game in the early stage.

Because Chen Xu will follow up I believe that with the quality and charm of"Minecraft", it can form a snowball effect and eventually become a wildfire. At this time, a message box popped up in the lower right corner of the computer desktop.

Sent from Han Yue News.

The initial video has been completed.

After coming back to his senses, Chen Xu clicked on the video, glanced at the progress bar, and then adjusted the multiplier to 2x speed to start watching.

From beginning to end, Chen Xu nodded gently, Then he replied with a message that there was no problem.

Then Chen Xu sent the video to his official blog and also updated it to the official website of"Minecraft".

There is also a related social forum and some video websites..

As Chen Xu’s official blog was posted, players quickly followed it and received prompts.

On the official blog, there was only one title and a video attachment.

‘Scientific research, business, infrastructure, war, arms race; awesome, players! '

There are a lot of videos about"Minecraft" on the Internet.

All the major video websites are videos about"Minecraft".

Most of them are architectural videos, with full-height picture quality enabled, exquisite materials and light and shadow effects, and combined with post-production editing, they are as beautiful as a movie.

The players who watched it said, this is someone else’s world!

In addition to this kind of construction videos, there are also various funny video contents.

Of course, there are also some videos focused on technology, using redstone circuits to create industrial content.

In addition, there are also a series of casual gameplay videos such as farming, decoration, etc.

And here Chen Xu sent an official blog, which was obviously an official status.

It’s just scientific research, business, and an arms race. What is going on?

Many players who paid attention to Chen Xu's official blog for the first time were a little confused when they looked at the title of this video.

What does this mean?

War and infrastructure are easy to understand.

War is fighting, infrastructure is building houses.

But what about the arms race and doing business?

However, due to their confusion, players soon clicked on the video of the game as soon as possible.

Along with Fengyun Games, a LOGO flashed quickly.

Narration appears

‘A huge world! '

A pixel-style planet appears in the player's field of vision, and then the camera zooms in, showing forests, deserts, oceans, wild NPC villages, and underground worlds

‘Let the players decide how to develop. '

Countless light pillars appeared in every corner of the world, and players with IDs came to the game one by one, and then started the first step of the game.

Pulling up trees with bare hands!

Then the screen instantly switched to a plain where countless players were fighting on the plain. The ground was covered with materials dropped by them after their death.

A player wearing a yellow hat who keeps building buildings.

On a railway track that spanned plains and forests, a truck was speeding along, transporting many weapons on it.

At this time, the narration sounded

‘War has never stopped from ancient times to modern times. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. As of now, more than 180 servers have been caught in the war.’

‘More than 2 million players have participated in the battle, and buildings have been destroyed 10.5 million times in the game.’

‘Among them, the players in Area 1 have been divided into two forces. East and West are confronting each other. However, there is no direct conflict. Instead, they are constantly improving their technology and are preparing to use armament technology to completely crush the opponent!’

‘The players in Area 3 are also a group of war fanatics, but the difference is that they are not very interested in developing technology. They are still in the form of a slash-and-burn civilization, and the best weapons are only iron tools.’

‘There is also a war in Area 17, but there are also some players who are outside the war. They farm and raise pigs for the major forces, and trade precious materials such as gold ore. At present, they have successfully built a railway track that spans several major forces. , can better transport goods’

…………

‘The players in Area 81 are also fighting a war, but the war they are fighting is a little different. They have built cities that can accommodate hundreds of people, and have begun to prosper and build, so as to attract players from other cities to enter. It is reported that Next, they plan to give internal speeches in each city, select a highly respected player, and lead them to become rich and powerful.’

‘The players in Area 111 are researching and developing technology day by day. They seem to want to build the first rocket in the game. Let us wish them well.

‘The players in Area 123 seem to want to dig through the entire planet, and more than 3,000 players in the entire server have become victims of being scalded to death by lava.’

…………

You never know how players will play in the game.

Just like when the first game modeler created a female character, who could have imagined the subsequent players.

When you see a female character in a game, most of them will try to look up at her from a unique perspective?

The same goes for Minecraft, a free sandbox game.

Not even Chen Xu thought that players would play like this in these servers.

With the release of this video, the enthusiasm of"Minecraft" players was instantly pushed to a peak again.
