Inside the Nebula Gaming Office.

Most of the previously planned construction has been completed, with only a few remaining in the final stages.

"Mr. Chen, you see that Tenghua's "Navigation" has also announced the launch time, which is on January 21!" Qin Yi said nervously.

"It's okay, don't forget our plan, you don't have to worry about the follow-up promotion of "Minecraft", I have already made arrangements for the operation department." Chen Xu said with a smile.

"As for the game "Navigation", it is completely different from "Minecraft", and at the launch time, I think they will feel embarrassed." Chen Xu smiled very confidently.

There is only one "Don't Starve" as a reference, and "Don't Starve" itself is a special game among sandbox games with strong goals.

So this also leads to a lot of game designers, just seeing the characteristics of survival.

As a result, all elements focus on survival instead, thus ignoring the creation of the biggest feature of the sandbox itself.

For example, Meng Zuo's "Wasteland".

Including Tenghua's latest "Navigation", just from the promotional video and promotional materials, Chen Xu can also see that the other party is obviously going astray.

It completely ignores creation and goes against the character of sandbox games.

Seriously, Chen Xu felt that as far as the content released by the other party was concerned, they were more inclined to play games like Shenmue, which created an exquisite game world, and then let players explore.

But even so, Chen Xu felt that these games would basically sell well.

On the one hand, the quality is placed here. On the other hand, although the road has gone astray, the combination of some sandbox elements, coupled with the gameplay of the game itself, does have some appeal.

But if you want to explode, the probability is not very big.

And now the launch time of "Navigation", if it is stuck after "Minecraft" is officially launched, or if it is synchronized with the "Minecraft" demo, then Chen Xu thinks that the impact will not be too big.

Because it is still a sentence, the game industry is not a zero-sum industry, and although "Navigation" claims to be a sandbox, the gameplay is completely different from "Minecraft". As for now?

Then Chen Xu can only say good luck.

………………

On January 3, "Minecraft" officially opened for trial download.

A total of five days.

Players who have been following this game have started to download it one after another and can't wait to experience it.

Sitting in front of the computer, Wang Han looked at the unlocked game screen, and happily took out his mobile phone and took a photo.

What? Use the screenshot button that comes with the system and the game?

It doesn't exist, I just want to take pictures with my mobile phone, and I still shoot upside down, and the focus is not right.

After taking the photo, Wang Han sent it to Zhang Yi: "When do you get off work!? I'm already playing here!"

In almost a second, Zhang Yi on the other end of the phone sent a message: "Come on, half an hour, it should take more than an hour to get home, do you want to bring you something to eat?"

What I was waiting for was this sentence. Seeing Zhang Yi's news, Wang Han happily entered the information: "When I come back, I will have a portion of roast duck rice downstairs. The duck rack needs cumin instead of chili powder."

After a brief chat with Zhang Yi, Wang Han clicked the icon of "Minecraft" without any hesitation.

I have to say that the previous "Famine" really surprised her.

The one game was so obsessed with before was "Jelly Bean Man" and "Two People".

In the middle, she also watched some sandbox games from other game manufacturers, but they were basically uninteresting.

And for "Minecraft", she can say that she has been looking forward to it for a long time.

Although the pixel style, and the previous promotional trailer did not seem to show anything, she was still looking forward to it.

After all, the previous "Famine" didn't even have a promotional trailer, just a text official blog of Chen Xu.

After entering the game, the logo of the Nebula game skips.

What then caught my eye was a scene similar to a grassland, but it was just a picture of pixels.

In the distance, white clouds floated across the sky, and the sun pierced through the white clouds and shone on the earth.

The clouds in the sky form the name and logo of the game: "Minecraft".

At the same time, the shadows from the sun are reflected on the ground.

And the loading interface at the beginning is also more interesting, because it is not an ordinary flat UI interface, but an interactive game UI interface.

In this interface, the player controls Steve, who is located on an isolated island.

Not big, surrounded by air walls,

In the distance is the endless sea and the rising sun.

And on this island, there are several houses.

It says 'exit the game', 'option settings', 'mod mod' and 'play the game' and so on.

Everything is made up of blocks.

Before, Wang Han thought that the pixel style would make her look uncomfortable.

But now that she entered the game, she discovered that it was the same as the promotional video on Chen Xu's official blog before.

Although the game is a pixel style, but the high-definition material and the combination of light and shadow, this pixel block has a unique flavor.

"It seems to be different from what I imagined, and the pictures on the notice should be real."

Looking at this unique UI interface, Wang Han couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Before because she knew that "Minecraft" was a pixel game, what she was most worried about was the content on the screen.

Although she is not a screen control player herself, she still hopes to play games with better graphics.

Although the entire "Minecraft" is a pixel, Chen Xu has also been carefully processed for the artistic expression.

In addition to various high-definition materials and light and shadow effects, some adjustments have also been made in detail.

In "Minecraft", players can clearly see a change in light and shadow, especially "Minecraft" also has a weather system.

On a sunny day after the rain, the rainbow and water mist combined with the light and shadow effect can be said to be very good.

Especially this loading interface, it is more intuitive to let players feel the game screen.

Without thinking too much, Wang Han first took a look at the mod module, which was the same as the previous "Don't Starve".

Then came to the room where the game started.

A total of four modes can be selected.

The first word is 'single game', the second is 'multiplayer game', and the third is 'LAN game', which allows players to play online together on the same network.

The fourth word is "community games", where players use their own host as a server built for game archives.

However, it is currently an early access mode, so only single-player games and LAN games are open.

Of course, although it is a single-player game, players can also invite friends to join their own server through the Nebula game platform.

Sounds like LAN mode is useless.

But this mode is mainly prepared for the follow-up mobile players, and although PC players basically don't use it, in the words of players, that is, I can not use it, but you can't do it without it. developed.

"I can only play the single-player mode." Wang Han muttered to himself, and then chose the mode to enter the game.
