Chapter 253: A Father and Daughter
The sales miracle created by "Minecraft" made the entire game industry a little dumbfounded.
It may be the cheapest VR game in history, and its profitability is not the strongest, but its sales growth rate is extremely terrifying.
Judging from 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.
Currently, the number of people owning private cars in China is 156 million. Considering that many large cities have limited purchase policies, there should actually be far more people who can afford private cars than this number.
Generally speaking, people who can afford private cars can also afford VR game cabins. However, VR game cabins are pure entertainment equipment after all, so the number of players who actually buy game cabins is less than 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 that of domestic countries and the market is also very considerable.
Judging from the current situation, the sales of "Minecraft" in the first month have exceeded 3 million. As long as there are a few more months, there will be no problem in exceeding 10 million. That is to say, one in every ten game cabins has "Minecraft" installed.
This 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 began to study it. Even the Game Committee also published articles to analyze the special features of "Minecraft".
"Minecraft is a very special VR game. The biggest special thing about it is that it is a game that can fully utilize the imagination and creativity of players."
"Most of the existing games abstract several rules from some entertainment activities in the real world, and then build the entire game world."
"In this type of game, players follow the simple and easy-to-understand rules of the game, work hard to achieve goals, and get a certain sense of satisfaction. This is the basic fun of these games."
"However, such a game should be considered a narrow game, with fixed rules, cannot be changed at will, and its expansion is limited."
"However, if you add rich gameplay to the game, it will dilute its original fun and even cause unknown purpose."
"But in Minecraft, this doesn't happen."
"The game plays very richly, you can survive, form teams, create, and use redstone to build all kinds of fun things."
"There are a thousand ways to play a game for a thousand people, and everyone can find the fun they want in this game."
"It's hard to say what the fun of "Minecraft" is. All I can say is that it gives you a space to load fun. You just need to load the fun you want and enjoy it all the time."
As the popularity continues to rise, "Minecraft" has almost become the most topical VR game this month, and the limelight of "Thousand Prisons" has been completely overwhelmed.
...
Experience store.
Chen Mo was leaning on the sofa to test the performance of "Minecraft" on the tablet.
The effect is OK, but it is definitely incomparable to the VR version.
When Chen Mo was developing "Minecraft", he first developed the PC version and then ported to the VR platform. As for "Minecraft" on the mobile platform, it is a completely by the way.
But the problem is that compared with the VR version, the PC version and mobile version of "Minecraft" are equivalent to incomplete games, because the VR version of "Minecraft" was modified by Chen Mo, while the "Minecraft" on the other two platforms is only equivalent to the level of previous lives.
In other words, the PC and mobile versions of Minecraft have no network mode and sightseeing mode (Chen Mo's World), and they are also relatively backward in terms of art style and other aspects.
The PC version is relatively better. One of the more painful problems with the mobile version is operation. In terms of movement, the performance of the virtual rocker in the 3D world is not very comfortable. The operation of "clicking to place, long pressing to dig" is not very convenient.
Moreover, due to the mobile phone configuration and capacity, the mobile version will definitely not be able to carry large buildings. If you cannot play such large buildings, players will at most build a small wooden house in single-player mode and play with the survival mode, which will greatly reduce the fun.
In terms of the popularity of VR version of "Minecraft", it is natural to launch the PC version and mobile version. Chen Mo will definitely not miss this opportunity, but there are still some details that need to be optimized.
While thinking about it, two people came in at the entrance of the experience store.
It looks like a father and daughter. The father looks younger, in his forties, and his daughter is about twelve or twelve years old.
The daughter held her father's hand: "Dad, is this the place to make "Minecraft"?"
The voice is very soft and cute, and it is almost making people cute.
Dad bent down a little dotingly and touched her head: "Yes, you will be able to play "Minecraft" soon."
Chen Mo was a little surprised because it seemed that few children appeared in his experience store.
The rules of experience stores are the same as those of Internet cafes, and minors cannot access the Internet.
Although minors can experience mobile games for a short time with their parents, this situation is too rare after all. Whose parents will 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. The front desk is now a girl who has just graduated from university.
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 even 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 put the VR game cabin, so I'm very sorry."
Dad was a little disappointed, but nodded: "Okay, thank you."
The little girl pouted: "Dad?"
Dad took her little hand to the door and squatted down: "Be good at Nini, I experience that there is no "Minecraft" in the store, why don't Dad think of other ways?"
The little girl's eyes were a little red, as if she was about to cry, but she nodded: "Well, then dad, let's go."
Dad pinched Nini's little face with a little guilt, stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." Chen Mo stood up, "Are you going to play "Minecraft"?"
Dad was stunned: "Yes, who are you?"
Chen Mo stretched out his hand: "I am Chen Mo, the designer of "Minecraft"."
Dad shook hands with Chen Mo and said in surprise: "Are you the designer of "Minecraft"?
