Chapter 409 406. Selling crazy!(2/2)
It is recommended to dig a mine tunnel in 3 empty spaces, each with 60 meters, and there is no scientific basis. It is also recommended to dig 16 diamonds (2 diamond picks 6, enchantment platform 2, reserve 8) each mine tunnel will be kept as long as it is digging diamonds, mark them, and wait for luck III to dig again.
Then we need to solve the long-term food problem. Of course, farming first, first wrap a 18×18 piece of land (inside the fence).
Actually, it is because 1 grid of water can nourish the 9×9 land centered on it, and here are actually 4 9×9 fields. I have marked the spacing. Count it yourself.
Of course, this piece of land is definitely not enough. In order to save space, you can cover it up layer by layer. Here you should pay attention to the upper layer that covers the lower layer, so it is best to insert a torch on the fence. It is recommended to plant two layers of wheat and two layers of potatoes.
Then you can start to fill in the things and make equipment and tools with peace of mind...
...
Do you understand? As long as there is a strong fortress against monsters and food that cannot be starved, you can easily live forever."
Speaking of which, "Minecraft" is indeed very similar to an editor. In fact, the production team is also developed according to the editor mode when developing. Therefore, the various instructions in the game are actually some sets of instructions written by the planner and testers during the game testing process to save time and facilitate convenience.
Since Minecraft has a creative mode and the game does not sell numerical values, the life of the game has nothing to do with its own single game mode, so when the player chooses [Creation Mode], the command set is opened to the player.
First, it can make it easier for players to create games and use their full imagination, and second, it saves a lot of time and trouble for the development team.
...
Not long after, players have begun to share their [work results] online:
Some works of masters have also been posted on Station A.
In addition to triggering a wave of "Minecraft" craze, this also brought a lot of popularity to Station A.
There is a French player on the Internet who spent more than a week building an Eiffel Tower himself.
There is also a Chinese player who made an Oriental Pearl.
In addition, as time goes by, various god-level works that are against the sky appear one after another, shocking countless players.
For example, Astia, the water city built by player Etow The SunCat, is a port city with Venice as the theme, and it also imitates the Flanders trading city in the late medieval period.
It took more than 500,000 square meters in total, and it took almost a month.
There is also a [City of Doomsday] created by American player Jeff: It tells the story of when the doomsday comes, humans around the world will become extinct, leaving only animals and plants, and what will happen to these human cities that are re-controlled by nature in the end.
...
After seeing the [works] of all the big guys, countless players exclaimed:
"How can this be my world? This is obviously someone else's world."
"This... are we playing the same game?"
"I said I watched someone else's teaching videos, and although I learned the brain, I didn't learn the hands."
"Mom asked me why I was watching the video on my knees."
"It's so amazing? How good would it be if I had this level of production? Please lend me the master's hand!"
"What I'm afraid of is that I can't create it even if I have hands or brains."
"Where is this a block sandbox game? This is clearly the temple where God is. It must be God wearing these people's robes and creating beautiful buildings for us through "Minecraft".
I really love it too much.”
...
The results of "Minecraft" have been pretty good after its release.
The first day's release achievement exceeded 200,000 copies, and this achievement can only be considered relatively average in the history of Bomi's stand-alone game.
However, the subsequent growth rate is very rapid, which should be because the players have experienced the super free fun brought by the game, and the huge increase brought by the wide audience of "Minecraft".
At the end of the first week, Minecraft sales have exceeded 6 million copies.
Become the most successful game ever.
Moreover, the growth acceleration has not slowed down, which means that there will be a considerable growth period in the future, and it may not be necessary to exceed 20 million copies.
When I saw this data, the entire Minecraft project team members were stunned.
"This... how is this possible?" Wan Keke couldn't believe that this was a game they made.
"Yes... why is this game so popular?" Even the master Zhang Yiqian herself was very unconfident.
When the game was launched, she was still very nervous, afraid that the game would be too pixel-like, which led to low acceptance among players.
Now the result comes out completely the opposite of what she thinks.
Zhang Yiqian couldn't help but feel dazed, thinking-
Sure enough, whether the game can become popular depends on the planning and design, and art only plays an auxiliary role.
You should know that the company has released the most "Shan Hai Jing" only more than 6 million copies. Now they have exceeded this task, and it is even a little too easy to make a breakthrough.
It can be described as [selling crazy].
Li Lanyun could not hide her excitement, so she hurried to the boss's office to report to the boss, "Boss, my world's sales have exceeded 6 million copies. If this momentum continues, 20 million copies are not impossible."
Cao Yang smiled slightly, "Still calm, isn't it only 20 million copies? It won't be a problem if you exceed 100 million copies in the future."
Li Lanyun: “…”
Is the boss thinking too much?
No one in my previous life expected that a game like Minecraft could exceed 100 million, and even in 2021, the total number of global users exceeded 600 million. In addition, some of them played pirated versions were not counted. The specific number of people is still a mystery.
That's why Cao Yang had the confidence to say this.
Now it's just over 6 million, where is it?
The road ahead is still long.
According to Cao Yang's idea, the only constraint now is the upper limit of the number of people on the Internet.
But even if it cannot exceed 600 million, it will not be a problem to exceed 100 million in the next two years.
After all, "Minecraft" is a game that is popular for all people.
This is also its advantage.
...
Now, due to the short development time, [Redstone] has not been added to the game, so there is still a limited amount of things that players can do.
Redstone is a unique material.
Switches, redstone torches and redstones can provide energy similar to current to wires or objects.
When the block under the first redstone powder is strongly charged, the redstone signal is the strongest, the signal strength is 15, and in some cases the signal strength cannot reach 15, such as when connecting to the record machine that is playing record No. 11, the redstone signal is 11.
The biggest function of this thing is that it can be used to build a [gate] circuit.
That is, it can perform the most basic binary calculations and assume the basis of logical structure. The gate circuits commonly used in computers include AND gates, OR gates, NAND gates, NAND gates, NAND gates, NAND gates, NAND gates, XOR gates, etc. in logic functions.
When redstone is available, players can build many incredible things through redstone.
Even if you create games in games or computers in games.
It was only then that "Minecraft" had infinite creativity.
