Game development giant

Li Yuanhang still remembered that only 20,000 copies of the previous Minecraft were sold in the first year of its release. Later, the game continued to improve and became more well-known. This created a miracle in the history of the game-ten years after its release. Sold 176 million copies across the platform, surpassing "Tetris" and becoming the best-selling video game of all time.

For Li Yuanhang, "Minecraft" was the first shot into the PC game, and at the same time he got an old hen who can lay a steady stream of golden eggs.

Although "Minecraft" has just begun to test, it already has the potential for fire, and it has amazed countless players: the original game can still be played like this!

One month later, "Minecraft" went online for the second test, adding a friend connection function, and issuing a total of 8,000 activation codes.

The activation code suddenly became difficult to find. An activation code was fired by those scalpers to 5000 Huaxia coins, and it was still rising. Many people were dumbfounded and lamented that these people were crazy.

At this time in the Shinhwa Studio, everyone was busy with their work. Li Yuanhang called the main planner, main program and main art, as well as executive planning, front-end main program and other middle-level personnel to the meeting room.

"Brother Hai, how is MC's survival mode done?" Li Yuanhang asked casually sitting in his chair.

Zhang Yunhai looked a little haggard. He had just turned forty years old and he already had a few strands of white hair. He said with a strong spirit: "BOSS, after the first two rounds of testing, there are no bugs in the survival mode."

Looking at the haggard Zhang Yunhai, Li Yuanhang couldn't help but asked with concern: "Brother Hai, you should rest more and leave the work to the people under your hands to do it. You can just check it yourself."

Zhang Yunhai reluctantly smiled: "I know the boss."

Li Yuanhang nodded, thinking that after the MC was done, Zhang Yunhai would be released for two months' vacation, and said, "I have a new idea about the survival mode."

Zhang Wei now admires Li Yuanhang so much that he suddenly raised his head and asked in surprise: "Boss, do you have any good ideas?"

Li Yuanhang said: "As for the survival mode, don’t you think it’s a bit too simple? Maybe it’s challenging for players who haven’t played spawning games, but it’s not attractive to those masters, so I think it’s It is necessary to recreate a new survival mode."

Executive planner Zhao Yufei frowned and said, "In this case, doesn't the survival mode become a complete survival game?"

Li Yuanhang nodded and said seriously: "Yes, I just want to change the survival mode into a complete survival game. These are some of my plans for redoing the survival mode. Go and see."

As the secretary, Shen Bing had already printed out the plans one by one to everyone present, and they began to read the plans.

Li Yuanhang's idea is to incorporate the gameplay of "Famine" into the survival mode of "Minecraft", or to change the survival mode into "Famine", which greatly increases its playability and interest.

The only regret is that the characters in "Don't Starve" like Wilson, Willow and Wendy are unlikely to appear, even if they appear, they can only appear in the form of MOD.

In fact, Li Yuanhang also wanted to make "Famine". After making it, the sales will not be too bad, but since he already has "Minecraft" in hand, he can directly change the survival mode to the famine game.

Not to mention saving time and effort, it can also attract a large number of players who like survival games.

After that, "Minecraft" will be divided into two major factions, the creation faction and the survival faction. These two factions are expected to produce many interesting stories, which is worth looking forward to.

After Zhang Wei carefully read the plan, he was surprised to find that it was enough to take this plan out and make a game alone, and it would be too wrong to make it a survival mode of MC.

Others are experienced gamers, how could they fail to see the value of this plan, the executive planner Zhao Yufei hesitated and said: "BOSS, your plan is so exciting, why not make a game alone."

Others agreed.

Li Yuanhang resolutely said: "It is not necessary. What we have to do now is to continuously accumulate game experience. I have already decided what games to do after MC. This plan will be directly added to MC's survival mode."

Everyone was helpless, the boss and producer had all spoken, and they had no choice but to follow suit.

Zhang Yunhai thought for a while and said: "If you want to redo the survival mode, a lot of code will have to be pushed back, so I am afraid that I will not be able to keep up with the official release of MC."

Li Yuanhang said: "This is simple. MC still uses the current version when it is released. After the survival mode is completed, it will replace the existing version when the major version is updated."

Wang Xiuqin said at this time: "Does the new version of the survival mode still use the existing art style? Do I need to re-create the art resources?"

Li Yuanhang shook his head: "Just use the existing art style." After thinking about it, Li Yuanhang continued: "Sister Qin, you should first prepare a new set of art resources, which will be used in a set of our own MOD. I will give you a concept draft in two days, and you will be ready to follow the concept draft."

The original "Don't Starve" will only appear on this mod.

Wang Xiuqin said: "Good BOSS."

Zhang Yunhai asked: "Boss, do you have any specific requirements for this mod?"

Li Yuanhang drank dry mouth and drank a few sips of water before he said: "This MOD only needs to replace the characters and scenes in the MC. Well, there are some character actions. It doesn't need too much special. Function."

...

After the meeting, Li Yuanhang leaned on the back of the soft boss chair. "Minecraft" has basically come to an end for him. The producer of the rest of the work is at most checkpoints, and does not need to cost too much. More energy on this game.

Li Yuanhang naturally began to prepare for the next game of Shinhwa Studio.

Considering the technical prowess of Shinhwa Studio and Li Yuanhang's own little-knowledge PC game production experience, it is definitely unrealistic to start large-scale production. Is Shinhwa Network really rich enough to throw coins at will?

Therefore, there are not too many games that Li Yuanhang can choose. The length of time, the beautiful screen as always, the good gameplay, and the accumulation of game production experience are all requirements of this game.

Li Yuanhang thought about it, and the name of a game came to mind.

This game was made by Chinese, and his game was turned into a "Zen-style game" by players. The game that Li Yuanhang had to do was only a two-hour process. It was released in 2012 and was awarded by IGN and many other game media. "2012 Game of the Year" honor.

Li Yuanhang was so excited that he turned on his laptop and started writing plans for this game.

PS: What is the name of this game, everyone should be able to guess it?
