Chapter 253: A Pair of Father and Daughter

The sales miracle created by "Minecraft" has made the entire game industry stunned.

It may be the cheapest VR game ever sold, and it's not the most profitable, but its sales growth is terrifying.

According to the current domestic situation, there are more than 1.3 billion mobile phone users, about 500 million PC users, and only about 100 million VR users.

At present, the number of people who own a private car in China is 156 million. Considering the limited purchase policy in many big cities, there should be far more people who can actually afford a private car.

Generally speaking, anyone who can afford a private car can also afford a VR game cabin. However, VR game cabins are purely entertainment equipment after all, so the number of players who actually buy game cabins is less, only about 100 million. .

But this is already a very large market.

In developed countries such as Europe and the United States, the popularity of VR game cabins is higher than in China, and the market is also very impressive.

Judging from the current situation, the sales volume of "Minecraft" in the first month has exceeded 3 million. As long as there are a few more months, there is no problem with breaking 10 million. That is to say, by that time, Minecraft will be installed on one out of every ten game pods.

This also means that this game is about to launch an impact on the "VR game with the highest installation rate".

After the sales miracle of "Minecraft" broke out, the game industry also began to study it, and even there are special game evaluation experts in the tourism committee to publish articles to analyze the special features of "Minecraft".

"Minecraft is a very special VR game, and the most special thing about it is that it is a game that can give full play to players' imagination and creativity."

"Most existing games abstract a few rules from some entertaining activities in the real world, and then construct the entire game world."

"In these types of games, players follow the simple and easy-to-understand rules of the game and try to achieve a goal to get a certain satisfaction. That's the basic fun of these games."

"However, such a game should be regarded as a game in a narrow sense. The rules are fixed and cannot be changed at will, and the expansion is limited."

"However, if you add rich gameplay to the game, it will dilute its original fun, and even cause problems of unclear purpose."

"But in Minecraft, that doesn't happen."

"The gameplay is very rich,

You can survive, team up, create, and build all kinds of fun things with redstone. "

"A thousand people have a thousand ways to play, and everyone can find the fun they want in this game."

"It's hard to say what the fun of "Minecraft" is. It can only be said that it gives you a space to load the fun. You just need to load the fun you want into it and enjoy it to the fullest. That's enough."

As the popularity continues to rise, "Minecraft" has almost become the most talked-about VR game this month, and the limelight of "A Thousand Prisons" has been completely overshadowed.

...

Experience shop.

Chen Mo is leaning on the sofa, testing the performance of "Minecraft" on the tablet.

The effect is OK, but certainly not comparable to the VR version.

When Chen Mo developed Minecraft, he first developed the PC version and then ported it to the VR platform. As for "Minecraft" on the mobile platform, it is completely a matter of the way.

But the problem is that compared with the VR version, the PC and mobile versions of Minecraft are equivalent to incomplete games, because the VR version of Minecraft was modified by Chen Mo, while the other two platforms "Minecraft" is only equivalent to the level of the previous life.

That is to say, the PC and mobile versions of "Minecraft" do not have network mode and sightseeing mode (Chen Mo's world), and are also relatively backward in terms of art style.

The PC version is relatively better, but the mobile version is a bit of a pain in the operation. In terms of movement, the virtual joystick is not very comfortable in the 3D world. Operations such as "click to place, long press to dig" are also not convenient.

Moreover, the mobile version is limited by the configuration and capacity of the mobile phone, and it will definitely not be able to bring large buildings. If you can't play such large buildings, the player will at most build a cabin in the single-player mode and play in the survival mode, which is a lot of fun. Reduced.

In terms of the popularity of the VR version of Minecraft, it is logical to launch the PC version and the mobile version. Chen Mo will definitely not miss this opportunity, but he still needs to optimize some details.

While thinking about it, two people came in at the door of the experience store.

It looks like a father and a daughter. The father looks relatively young, in his forties, and the daughter is about twelve or thirteen years old.

The daughter took her father's hand: "Dad, is this the place where "Minecraft" was made?"

The voice is very soft and cute, it just makes people cute.

Dad bent over dotingly and patted her head: "Yes, you will be able to play Minecraft soon."

Chen Mo was a little surprised, because there seemed to be very few children in his experience store.

The rules of the experience store are the same as those of the Internet cafe, and minors cannot surf the Internet.

Although minors can experience mobile games for a short period of time accompanied by their parents, this situation is too rare after all. Whose parents would take their children to the experience store to play mobile games?

The father and daughter came to the front desk.

Dad said to the front desk: "Hello, I want to ask, can I experience "Minecraft" here?"

Su Jinyu no longer serves as the front desk, now the front desk is a little girl who just graduated from college.

She said a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, because "Minecraft" is currently a VR platform game, and there are only computers and mobile phones in the experience store, so there is no way to experience it."

Dad was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Can't you experience your own games in the experience store?"

The girl at the front desk said: "I'm very sorry, because "Minecraft" is our company's first VR game, and the experience store can no longer hold the VR game cabin, so I'm very sorry."

Dad is a little lost, UU reading www.uukanshu. com but still nodded: "Okay, thank you."

The little girl pouted: "Dad?"

Dad took her little hand to the door and squatted down: "Nini is good, there is no "Minecraft" in the experience store, or Dad will think of another way."

The little girl's eyes were a little red, as if she was about to cry, but she nodded: "Well, let's go, Dad."

Dad pinched Nini's little face a little guiltily, and stood up to leave.

"Wait a minute." Chen Mo stood up, "Are you guys going to play Minecraft?"

Dad was taken aback: "Yes, who are you?"

Chen Mo stretched out his hand: "I'm Chen Mo, the designer of Minecraft."

Dad shook hands with Chen Mo and said in surprise, "Are you the designer of Minecraft? It's a pleasure to meet you."

Chen Mo looked at Nini: "Little girl wants to play "Minecraft"?"
