Chapter 226 (1/2)

How popular is my world in Chen Mo's previous life?

In a word, it is the most successful independent game in popularity and business, not one of them; it is the second highest selling game in the world, with a sales volume of over 100 million, second only to the old Tetris.

Considering that ”my world” was released in 2009, when there were many very good PC and console games, it was a miracle to get this sales volume.

What's more, the power of my world is that it can be used in halls, kitchens, PCs and mainframes, tablets and mobile phones, and all platforms can be transplanted smoothly.

There are also some data to support the popularity of this game.

In 2014, mojang studio, which produced my world, was acquired by Microsoft for $2.5 billion.

”My world” has 4.31 billion hits on YouTube.

More than 10 million players applied to join during the my world test, making it the most popular beta game.

It is said that in my world, the Bureau of military survey of the corrupt state created the topographic map of the whole British island, using 22 billion blocks.

Why does this game have such a magic power that many people are addicted to it?

In short, because my world greatly reduces the difficulty of making a three-dimensional object in a computer.

In fact, many people have the idea of ”creating their own space / world”. When they were young, they could experience it through sand castle, building blocks, paper models and other ways. When they grow up, they can experience it in various games.

On the computer, there are many ways to create a virtual world, but the traditional three-dimensional design software has a high learning cost, most people do not have the patience to learn from scratch.

And ”my world” can make a 3D virtual world easier for most people.

Just stack the blocks.

There is no need for materials, maps, renderings, terrain, vegetation, particle effects, all of which are not needed. Anyway, it is necessary to select a correct block and pile it up.

In my world, the square is very regular, which is a standard size of 1m * 1m * 1m. Players are not easy to get lost in the scale of the virtual world, and the finished product is more convincing.

Moreover, ”my world” is not only a world creator, it is also a rich content game.

For Chen Mo, porting this game to VR platform is very challenging and meaningful.

……

After Chen Mo explained the concept setting draft, everyone began to make preparations in time, especially the technology tree, art style and derivative play mentioned by Chen Mo, which was a headache for a while.

After all, there is no reference game in the world. How to make a game similar to building blocks? What does it look like? How to design some details?

It's a question for all to think about.

As for Chen Mo himself, he went back to the second floor of the experience store and began to study the relevant rules for making VR games.

The fantasy editor supports VR games, but the specific production method is different from PC and mobile games.

Chen Mo is now a Class-A designer and honorary member of the Tourism Committee. He has a high authority in the fantasy editor. He can open the corresponding section for making VR games.
