Chapter 240 Trial play
Finally, after several rounds of warm-up, both "Minecraft" and "Thousand Prisons" were released on their launch dates.
Both games are scheduled to be launched on August 1. In terms of price, "Thousand Prisons" is priced at 1,288, while "Minecraft" is priced at only 128, which is exactly one-tenth of "Thousand Prisons".
The pricing of "Thousand Prisons" seems to be at a normal level in domestic VR games, but in fact it is relatively low.
Because it is like Diablo, it is a stand-alone gameplay, and there are very few value-added services in the game, and the main revenue comes from the sales of the game. Players basically do not need to spend any subsequent expenses after purchasing, so this money should be considered relatively cheap compared to other domestic VR games.
Of course, this is not to say that the Imperial Dynasty Interactive Entertainment is conscientious, but because the resources of "Thousand Prisons" are not consumed so much, and many scenes are reused, so the R&D cost is greatly reduced.
Dichao Interactive Entertainment set the price slightly lower, and hopes to sell more sales.
As for "Minecraft".
Many people are amazed that "Minecraft" is so cheap. For a VR game, 128 is like giving away for free.
(Generally speaking, dividing VR games by ten is the price of PC games, which means that "Minecraft" is roughly equivalent to a PC game of 12 yuan on the VR platform.)
But in fact, Chen Mo is still expensive.
Because there is really no investment in making "Minecraft", when developing the PC version, the investment is almost negligible. Even if it is changed to VR version, after so many optimizations and adjustments, the total investment is only more than 10 million.
For Chen Mo, more than 10 million is really not a cost. The main cost of producing "Minecraft" is the time cost.
Therefore, Chen Mo is not as expensive as the price. What he wants is sales. Only when sales increase and more players can "Minecraft" show its true potential.
Chen Mo's goal is to install "Minecraft" in every VR game cabin in the country.
...
On August 1, "Minecraft" and "Thousand Prisons" will be officially launched!
After the two games were purchased, players who have been paying attention to these two games began to download them one after another and couldn't wait to install them in the game cabin to experience them.
Moyu live broadcast platform, Lin Xue’s live broadcast room.
The screen was still black, and the audience was posting barrage discussions.
"A Xue is switching the game cabin signal? Today is the live broadcast of VR games?"
"Yes, I heard that "Thousand Prisons" is released today. I should go to the official server. After all, A Xue is a die-hard fan of "Dark"."
"Well, shouldn't the hardcore fans of "Dark" play Chen Mo's new game?"
"Playing yarn, that's a building block game, who wants to watch it?"
"Hmm? There is a signal, and the game cabin screen is coming out."
On the screen of the live broadcast room, the information screen of the game cabin appears.
VR games in this world can also be broadcast live, but they have to be converted into live broadcast signals through the game cabin for players to watch.
For example, for example, a first-person RPG like "Thousand Prisons", the player's perspective is the first-person, and the field of view is 124 degrees, but after it is converted into a live broadcast signal, the perspective will become a third-person follow-up perspective (that is, the camera moves to the back of the character's head), and the field of view will also become 90 degrees on the computer screen.
After all, if the video signal from the first person perspective is directly converted into live broadcast screens, it will be too shaky, and most viewers will be stunned.
The current interface is equivalent to the desktop of the game cabin, with a lot of games, and "Thousand Prisons" is in a relatively conspicuous position.
As a result, before the barrage could be satisfied, Lin Xue had already opened "Minecraft".
The barrage was confused.
"Ah? "Minecraft"? It's really "Minecraft"?"
"A Xue has changed her sex? Why did she play this building block game?"
"Damn, I don't want to watch it anymore!"
"On the upper floor, if you don't like to watch, hurry up and leave. We like to watch whatever A Xue plays!"
Lin Xue said: "Today I'll broadcast "Minecraft" to you. This game was also developed by Chen Mo. Alas, I won't explain much, let's go directly to the game."
Lin Xue's somewhat vague statement caused a lot of gossip in the barrage.
"What does Axue mean? What does it mean? I won't explain more?"
"I feel that Axue trusts Chen Mo's game very much..."
"I, why did I smell a different smell!"
Amid the question marks in the barrage, the picture 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.
Several white clouds in the sky form the game logo: Minecraft. There is also the English name MINECRAFT.
Not far from Lin Xue left is a small house made of squares with four big words [Minecraft] written on it.
On the left is a small path that winds towards a dense forest, and many buildings in the distance can be seen vaguely, with signs saying "Others' World".
On the right side of Lin Xue, there is a huge observatory with a huge globe on it. It says [Everyone’s World].
There is a slightly smaller portal on the inconspicuous place on the right of the observatory, which says [Chen Mo's World].
In addition, there is a building similar to a warehouse next to this hut, which says [Resource Center].
Of course, all buildings are made of squares and have a strong mosaic style.
It seems that this scene should be the game login screen.
Lin Xue tried to walk around the scene, and looked down, and realized that her image in the game had also become a toy villain.
The audience can see more clearly from the third person perspective. Lin Xue is a bit like a little man in the "Frozen" series toys in the LEGGO building blocks. The Q version, standard three-headed body, blonde hair, and wearing a cute white skirt and stockings. She walks very cutely.
When the player first logs in, "Minecraft" will automatically read the player account data in the game cabin and use this as a basis to determine the character's initial gender.
A cute puppy came to Lin Xue with a display sign in his hand.
"The character image has been randomly selected for you based on the gender of the account. Do you need to customize it independently?"
Lin Xue chose [Yes] almost without hesitation.
If this game does not provide face-pinching service, then it would be fine. Since it is provided, how can you not pinch your face?
Lin Xue's perspective changed, from the previous first-person perspective to the third-person perspective, looking down at her character like a soul leaving her body.
At the same time, related interface UIs appeared on both sides of the characters for Lin Xue to choose to change clothes freely.
“It’s quite rich…”
Lin Xue looked through and found that although the game looked relatively simple, all functions were quite complete. Take the face-pinning system as an example. The face, the character's face, hat, top, pants, shoes, etc. can be selected freely, and even the character's height is allowed to be adjusted within a certain range.
After carefully selecting for half an hour, Lin Xue finally chose a satisfactory outfit.
"Well... which mode should I play first?"
Chapter completed!
