Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

《The mobile version of"Minecraft" is being developed in an orderly manner.

In terms of difficulty, it is not that difficult, and an operation on the mobile game version of"Minecraft" in the previous life can also be used as a reference.

Mainly due to functionality, there may be some differences between the mobile terminal and the PC platform, such as the performance of picture effects and various plug-ins.

There is also the aspect of screen presentation. Because it is a mobile platform, it is different from a shot on the PC platform.

According to Chen Xu's idea, if possible, a data sharing model between PC platform and mobile platform should be adopted.

The buildings created by players on their mobile phones can also be displayed on the archives on the PC platform.

Of course, this requires players to be connected to the Internet and use cloud archives, otherwise they will have to manually overwrite the archives themselves.

But during the development period of Chen Xu.

The popularity of"Minecraft" on the Internet continues to ferment.

Many fellow game designers are analyzing this game and are shocked by the subsequent performance of"Minecraft".

Although compared with the previous period, it can be estimated that the sales volume of"Minecraft" during this period has declined, but it is still strong.

Even better than the previous"Warcraft".

Although there is no way to know an official data for"Minecraft".

But through third-party data, such as the popularity of player discussions on game community forums.

There are also the number of videos about"Minecraft" uploaded by video websites every day, as well as the number of viewing clicks.

There is also a live broadcast platform where the game experience of"Minecraft" is broadcast live.

The combination of these third-party data can roughly determine the relevant data of"Minecraft".

Although it is not accurate, it can be used as a reference.

The most unlucky people during this period were the game designers who launched the games during this period.

For example, Yi Long's eastward flow is simply inexplicable.

The game it developed has been launched recently, and the results are tepid, much worse than expected.

And this is mainly because the popularity of"Minecraft" is too strong, which has affected it.

But it took such a long time, but it had to be launched.

So Xiang Dongliu felt miserable.

Recovering costs and making a small profit is not a problem, but the key is that this is completely different from what he had imagined before.

Although unlike some other game designers, they were not optimistic about the game"Minecraft" from the beginning.

He has been infinitely elevated in his heart.

But in the end, it turned out that he still underestimated Chen Xu and"Minecraft".

After avoiding it for almost a month, I still suffered from its effects.

Not just him, but also a VR masterpiece represented by Interactive Entertainment.

Even though the genres and even platforms are different, they still received some impact from"Minecraft".

This situation simply made Xiang Dongliu call him evil.

I encountered Chen Xu in two consecutive games, but neither ended well.

But the most annoying thing is that he has no direct relationship with Chen Xu at all, and they are basically harmless.

If he really had a grudge against Chen Xu and the other party deliberately targeted him, then forget it.

But these two times, Chen Xu's game was released first, and then he struck later and was injured.

This is very uncomfortable.

Stay away from Chen Xu in the next game. If you play it again, he will vomit blood!

In fact, he is not just a game designer who thinks like Xiang Dongliu.

Almost all the game designers who were crushed by"Minecraft" this time have this idea in their hearts.

Chen Xu is evil!

………………

However, Chen Xu did not pay attention to these external situations at this time.

Because the overseas version of"Minecraft" has been officially launched after a preliminary warm-up.

On the first day, 1.47 million copies were sold overseas.

Unlike before, Chen Xu, who developed"Warcraft", is actually somewhat famous overseas.

At the same time, Xingbang Software also pays attention to the promotion of"Minecraft".

Therefore, the sales volume on the first day was 1.47 million.

At first, these overseas players, like domestic players, were a little confused about this"Minecraft".

After all, Chen Xu had developed top RTS game products such as"Warcraft" before.

But as the charm of Minecraft unfolds.

Soon, just like in China, there was also a wave of craze about"Minecraft" overseas.

Countless players are deeply fascinated by the unique gameplay in"Minecraft".

Especially compared to when it was just launched, many content elements of"Minecraft" have actually been revealed.

Therefore, various construction videos, as well as red stone technology and survival mode gameplay, the contents of these videos were moved overseas.

It also greatly speeds up overseas players' intuitive understanding of the charm of"Minecraft".

And this intuitive reaction is reflected in the sales of the game.

Sales on the first day were 1.47 million.

But then the first week sales directly reached 5.1 million.

The overseas price of"Minecraft" is US$9.9, which is about 27 yuan more expensive than domestically based on the exchange rate.

Counting the combined sales of overseas and domestic sales, it has successfully exceeded 10 million.

At the same time,"Minecraft" is now also under the Fengyun gaming platform, surpassing"Warcraft" to become the highest-selling game.

And this number is still expanding.

Although in terms of profitability,"Minecraft" has not surpassed"Warcraft" yet.

After all, the price of"Minecraft" is really not expensive. The domestic price is 38 yuan. If you choose to buy it on Fengyun Game Platform, you can get it for only 30 yuan.

But I can’t stand the huge sales volume and quantity.

Chen Xu's original intention at the beginning was actually to expand the number of users of Fengyun Games.

Judging from the current results, it can be said that the previous plan has been fully achieved.

And a mobile version of"Minecraft" has also been developed.
