Game production: I created Mihoyo

On November 27, Mihoyo released an update notice, saying that Minecraft will have a major update on December 1.

This is also the first major update since the game was launched on November 1!

The update notice briefly outlines the content of this update.

The game system has added multiple language options. The main gameplay of the game only fixes a few bugs, and no blocks have been adjusted or added.

The main update this time is actually the mall, which will be completely changed!

And there will be many new products, including but not limited to texture packs, lighting, maps, skins...

Some players were furious after reading the update notice.

"So I waited for a month for the update, but only the mall was updated?"

"But, what is a texture pack? And can maps be sold?"

"Mihoyo, you have done so many bad things!"

However, a large number of players also expressed their understanding.

After all, Mihoyo is a game company, not a charity company. It has to make money. Otherwise, how can it have the funds to develop new games?

"I think there is no problem. The gameplay of"Minecraft" is already very complete. Besides, which game has been online for a month and only has one product in the store?"

"They offer their own products, and I get mine for free. The things in the mall do not affect the game experience at all, and it is all voluntary."

The two sides each insisted on their own opinions and quarreled fiercely.

At this time, they would never have thought that the new mall was far beyond their imagination.

**

On December 1, the new version of Minecraft was officially launched.

Sister Zhou updated the game as soon as possible. She was interested in the light and shadow and texture packs that appeared in the update trailer.

What is this thing? After the game update was completed, she went directly to the mall interface

""Eh!? What the hell?" Sister Zhou was stunned.

The game's shopping interface has been completely revised and renamed as module resources.

It is now divided into four modules: [Game Map], [Functional Gameplay], [Material Lighting], and [Skin]. Each module is further subdivided.

For example, under [Game Map] there are subcategories: level-breaking puzzles, role-playing, strategy duels...

The audience was also shocked. This map was completely beyond their imagination.

"What the hell? I thought it was a map like Sky Island."

"I’m sorry, I don’t understand what this map means anymore.

Sister Zhou clicked on the title of the puzzle game. Currently, there is only one free map called"Super Parkour".

The store even provided a promotional video and graphic introduction for the map, so that the audience can understand the gameplay of this map more intuitively.

This is a game with various terrains, and players try to reach the end in the shortest time.

Sister Zhou looked at the map in surprise.

"Can you even do parkour in Minecraft?"

"Wow, this is a great idea. Congratulations to Minecraft for getting a new way to play!"

She continued to click on the title of the role-playing game. There was only one paid map called"Twilight Forest" which cost 6 RMB.

This map was even more surprising.

The game added new bosses, made new mazes, new equipment, and new props. It can be said that except for the blocks in Minecraft, it can be played as a new game.

"Well, you can even play RPGs in Minecraft!"

"I finally understood that this map is no longer restricted to the original gameplay of the game, and the degree of freedom of the game is infinitely raised."

"Fuck, in this case, a map is a new game!"

Sister Zhou bought the map first, and then continued to look at other things.

In [Functions and gameplay], she saw a free chain mining module, which allows people to mine all the surrounding minerals when digging a mine, which is very convenient!

A module that generates buildings with one click, as the name suggests, allows people to generate pre-set buildings in the game with one click.

In [Light and Shadow Materials], there are two free ones. A delicate material package can change the style of the blocks in the game, making the original rough blocks extremely delicate!

After installing an extreme light and shadow, the world is no longer a mosaic. The water surface can flow and reflect the sky. The evening sunlight shines through the forest and there is even a Tyndall effect.

This made everyone dumbfounded.

"No wonder the modules are so terrible after a month of work! It’s just that there are too few modules. Except for"Twilight Forest", they are basically free."

"If these modules can be stacked, the Twilight Forest plus the texture light and shadow... I dare not even think about it."

At this time, Sister Zhou was completely shocked by the modules.

With the modules, the playability of"Minecraft" is simply infinitely raised.

《Maybe I can play"Minecraft" for a lifetime!

Just like that, the entry for #"Minecraft" module update instantly became a hot search!

"I declare that"Minecraft" has become a god!"

"I second the motion! Redstone technology makes the game the best in terms of gameplay, and the modules make the game playable beyond imagination! This is a real sandbox game!"

"Maybe Minecraft will win an award at the VGA gaming ceremony"

"I think it's a close call, no one in China has won this award yet."

As the world's largest and most authoritative game award, VGA will select the games released this year at the end of December every year. The awards include Game of the Year, Best Action, Best Music...

China has not even released a game that has been nominated.

This time,"Minecraft" finally gave everyone hope of winning the award.

But people's attention soon shifted away from this, because Mihoyo once again released a big move!

……

Mihoyo released the"Minecraft" mod creation tool on its official account, and attached a tutorial!

This is a simplified creation tool that players can use to create"Minecraft" mods. Players can upload the created mods to"Minecraft" and after they are reviewed, they can be downloaded by others, and they can also freely set the price of the mods.

If other players pay to download, Mihoyo will extract a certain amount, and the rest will belong to the player.

In other words, players can make money with their own mods.

This news is even more shocking than the mods themselves!

"I was wondering why the mod store was so empty, it turns out it was waiting for players to fill it up."

"Wow, playing other games costs money, but playing Minecraft can make money!"

"Is the guy above you a developer or an artist? Ordinary people can’t make that much money."
