Chapter 240: Trial Play (Four Changes)

Finally, after several rounds of warm-ups, both Minecraft and A Thousand Hells have released release dates.

Both games are scheduled to launch on August 1, and in terms of price, "A Thousand Hells" is priced at 1288, while "Minecraft" is priced at only 128, which is exactly one-tenth of "A Thousand Hells".

The pricing of "A Thousand Prisons" seems to be at a normal level in domestic VR games, but it is actually on the low side.

Because it's the same as "Diablo", it's a single-player gameplay, there are very few value-added services in the game, and the main revenue comes from the sales of the game itself, and players basically don't need to spend follow-up after purchasing, so this money should be relatively cheap compared to other domestic VR games.

Of course, this is not to say that the emperors entertain each other's conscience, but because the resources of "A Thousand Prisons" are not consumed so much, and many scenes are reused, so the research and development cost is greatly reduced.

Imperial Mutual Entertainment set the price a little lower, hoping to sell more sales.

As for Minecraft.

Many people are amazed that Minecraft is sold so cheaply, and for a VR game, 128 is like giving it away for nothing.

(Generally speaking, dividing a VR game by ten is the price point of a PC game, which means that Minecraft is roughly equivalent to a 12-dollar PC game on the VR platform.) )

But in fact, Chen Mo is still expensive.

Because "Minecraft" really doesn't require any investment, when developing the PC version, the investment is almost negligible, even if it is changed to the VR version, so many optimizations and adjustments have been made, and the total investment is more than 10 million.

For Chen Mo, more than 10 million is really not a cost, and the main cost of making "Minecraft" is the cost of time.

Therefore, Chen Mo is not so expensive, what he wants is sales, only when sales go up and there are more players, "Minecraft" can show its true potential.

Chen Mo's goal is to make every VR game pod in the country install "Minecraft".

……

On August 1st, "Minecraft" and "A Thousand Prisons" were officially launched!

After the two games were opened for purchase, players who have been following these two games began to download them one after another, and couldn't wait to install them in the game pod to experience them.

Touching the fish live broadcast platform, Lin Xue's live broadcast room.

The screen is still black, and the audience is posting barrage discussions.

"Ah Xue is switching the signal of the game cabin? Live streaming VR games today? ”

"That's right, I heard that "A Thousand Prisons" is on sale today, so I should be going to play the official server, after all, Ah Xue is a die-hard fan of "Dark"."

"Uh, shouldn't die-hard fans of "Dark" play Chen Mo's new game?"

"Playing yarn, that's a building block game, who wants to watch it."

"Huh? There is a signal, and the game pod screen is out. ”

On the screen of the live broadcast room, the information screen of the game cabin appeared.

VR games in this world can also be streamed, but they must be converted into live signals through the game pod for players to watch.

As a simple example, in a first-person RPG like A Thousand Hells, the player's perspective is first-person and the field of view is 124 degrees, but when converted into a live signal, the perspective will change to a third-person follow perspective (that is, the camera will move behind the character's head), and the field of view will also change to 90 degrees on the computer screen.

After all, if the video signal from the first-person perspective is directly converted into the live screen, it is too shaky, and the vast majority of viewers will be stunned.

The current interface is equivalent to the desktop of the game cabin, there are a lot of games, and "A Thousand Hells" is in a more conspicuous position.

As a result, before the barrage had time to be complacent, Lin Xue had already opened "Minecraft".

The barrage was stunned.

"Huh? Minecraft? Is it really Minecraft? ”

"Ah Xue has changed sex? How did she play this block game? ”

"Day, I don't want to see it!"

"Upstairs, if you don't like to watch it, hurry up, we love to watch whatever Axue plays!"

Lin Xue said: "Today, I will give you a live broadcast of "Minecraft", this game was also developed by Chen Mo. Hey, without much explanation, let's jump right into the game. ”

Lin Xue's somewhat ambiguous remarks caused a lot of gossip in the barrage.

"What does Axue mean, what do you mean by not explaining much?"

"I feel that Ah Xue trusts Chen Mo's game very much......"

"I, why did I smell something different!"

In the question mark of the barrage, the screen cuts to the game screen of Minecraft.

Lin Xue was in a field at this time, and the rising sun was slowly rising in the distance.

A few white clouds in the sky spell out the game LOGO: Minecraft. THERE IS ALSO THE ENGLISH NAME MINECRAFT.

Not far from Lin Xue's left, there was a hut made of blocks, on which were written four big characters [Minecraft].

Further to the left is a path that winds its way into a dense wooded landscape, with a faint view of many buildings in the distance, with signs that read "Someone else's World".

To the right of Lin Xue, there is a huge observatory with a huge globe on it. It reads "Everybody's World".

There is a slightly smaller portal in the inconspicuous place to the right of the observatory, on which is written [Chen Mo's World].

In addition, there is a building similar to a warehouse next to the [Minecraft] hut, which says [Resource Center].

Of course, all the buildings are made of blocks and have a strong mosaic style.

It seems that this scene should be the game landing screen.

Lin Xue tried to walk around the scene, looked down, and found that her image in the game had also changed to a toy villain.

The audience's third-person perspective can be seen more clearly, Lin Xue is a bit like the villain in the "Frozen" series of toys in the LEGGO building block at this time, Q version, standard three-headed body, blonde hair, and wearing a cute white skirt and stockings, walking is very cute.

When a player first logs in, Minecraft automatically reads the player's account data in the game pod, and uses this as a basis to determine the initial gender of the character.

A cute puppy came to Lin Xue with a display card in his mouth.

"I've randomly selected a character image for you based on the gender of your account, do I need to customize it myself?"

Lin Xue almost did not hesitate to choose [Yes].

If this game doesn't provide face pinching services, then forget it, since it is provided, then how can you not pinch your face?

Lin Xue's perspective has changed, from the previous first-person perspective to the third-person perspective, looking down on her character like an out-of-body perspective.

At the same time, a related interface UI appeared on both sides of the character for Lin Xue to choose to change her costume freely.

"Quite a lot of ......"

Lin Xue looked at it, and she found that although this game looked relatively simple, all the functions were quite complete. Take the face pinching system as an example, the character's face, hat, top, pants, shoes, etc. can be freely selected, and even allow the height of the character to be adjusted within a certain range.

After carefully selecting for half an hour, Lin Xue finally picked a satisfactory outfit.

"Hmm...... Which mode to play first? ”

Lin Xue thought for a moment: "Let's experience it in the stand-alone game first, otherwise it will not be good to trick people in the network mode." ”
