-above.

This is the first information of "Minecraft" registered on the Feiyang game platform.

On the night of the official launch, because Ming Yan stayed up late to sleep, he slept until after twelve noon.

The communicator is muted and misses a lot of messages.

Around five in the morning.

The editor-in-chief of Feiyang Game Platform just went home after socializing, and before taking off his coat, he fell face down into the quilt first.

The snoring started immediately, but it was followed by the screeching sound of the phone.

"Beep beep beep beep-"

The unique alarm sound made the editor-in-chief wake up in an instant. He slapped himself with a clear and loud slap, and immediately jumped up from the bed, stood at attention, and answered the phone.

"Hey, Mr. Wang... hey hey, yes yes yes, I'm at home now..."

"…"

"My world? Hey, yes, it was signed by an intern on our platform, and it's online today..."

"…"

"What?! Squeeze "The Chronicle of Floda"? Isn't it the top ten free list?...No no, that's not what I meant, I'm sure the best resource..."

"…"

"Hey, definitely. I'll go back to the company right now, watch it right away! Don't worry, watch it right away!"

Around six in the morning.

In Feiyang Platform Company, the editor-in-chief, who had never taken off his clothes, rushed back as he was, fit in quickly and slammed open the door, blowing into the office like a whirlwind.

Open the real-time download list (the list of downloads within 24 hours) and take a look-

This week's main push "The Chronicle of the Floda Legend" is already No. 11, and it was obviously squeezed out.

The tenth place is not "Minecraft".

No. 9, neither.

Eighth place, still not.

The fifth place, impressively wrote "Minecraft".

Downloads: 40235.

The editor-in-chief's pupils spread rapidly, showing extreme shock in his heart.

With his years of editing experience, he can't imagine what "Minecraft" is? Why can an ordinary student's graduation project also be on the list?

It took him just over half an hour to get from his home to the company, and this thing could go from the tenth place to the fifth place?

This is airborne!

It's a fairy-level airborne!

The editor-in-chief opened the data curve of "Minecraft" so far.

The game was opened for download at 0:00 in the morning, and the number of downloads in the first ten minutes reached more than 8,000 people.

In the first hour, the number of downloads reached more than 26,000 person-times, and more than 30 people in the 24-hour download list were directly airborne.

Moreover, the play time of the first batch of players has reached an hour one after another, and they must pay 6 yuan to continue to play the full version of the content.

Then came the startling data.

Player one-hour retention rate: 82%!

Pay rate: 67%!

What kind of concept is this, this is in the middle of the night, these players have to pay even if they are sleepy?

The editor-in-chief feels that these people are poisoned! I fell into the poison that I forgot the next day's study and work, and was completely immersed in a game experience that I couldn't get out of...

More than four hours after "Minecraft" was launched, it finally climbed to the tenth place on the list, squeezing the original tenth place.

It is now the sixth hour of the launch, and it is already in the fifth place!

The top spots on the list are all recent IP masterpieces, and the commission for signing contracts on Feiyang platform is 10%.

The editor-in-chief also has no choice. Their platform is about to be killed. If they don't get back some popular games, it will really be cold.

But now they have an exclusive first release!

He was so excited that his whole face was blushing, and he immediately started to write a recommendation plan, wanting to give more resources to make Minecraft popular.

But at this moment, he remembered the contract book on his desk.

The ratio between him and the "Minecraft" producer, Blue Star Studio, is 10% to 90%.

The editor-in-chief was stunned and slumped into the seat.

He regretted it.

The difference between 10% and 20%, he felt that if he had negotiated at the beginning, he might have been able to get hundreds of millions more! This is a game that has achieved such results in the first six hours, and maybe the future achievements will be even higher...

Yes, a dusty pearl was once placed in front of his eyes. As long as he held it up in time, he would be worth millions and reach the pinnacle of his life in one day.

But he let the arrogance blinded his eyes, and he couldn't see the radiance inside this pearl.

He missed out on this million-start big list...

It's too late to regret it.

In terms of vision, he is not as good as a student who came to practice.

At noon the next day, Ming Yan yawned and sat up.

He slept until noon, and sporadically had many nightmares about the past.

The destruction of the Blue Star was caused by natural disasters. On the day of the end of the world, the cold current close to absolute zero shrouded the whole world...

Ming Yan was frozen to death, so he is particularly afraid of the cold now.

It's winter now, and it takes him a long time just to get dressed.

But before he got up, he noticed his communicator, which showed:

【Missed communication: 42】

【Unread SMS: 29】

Ming Yan twitched the corners of his mouth, picked up his phone and glanced at it briefly. The earliest ones were from Feiyang game platform, and the rest were all other platforms.

He didn't rush to call back, but first opened Feiyang's software and took a look.

On the first page, a huge banner pops up!

"Warmly celebrate the champion work "Minecraft" reaching 100,000 downloads within 10 hours of its first release! The holy land of adventure and construction, looking forward to your arrival!"

A good "Completely designed champion work", directly remove the word "Completely designed", isn't this kind of marketing a bit cheeky?

However, he clearly likes it.

He smiled, clicked in and took a look, and saw another slogan first:

[The editor-in-chief's recommended masterpiece! 98% player praise rate! 】

Then, the download page of the game is put down below, and there are hundreds of player comments on the game.

The comment with the highest number of likes reads:

【Specially to comment! I really don’t know when the last time I played a game all night, I am so happy to be able to play this game! Fun to explode! I was addicted on the first day, and I never thought that this kind of survival game could be so interesting. It took me a few hours to build a small house by the water, and it took me a few hours to dig every step of the way, and then I started desperately looking for a cow... When I found the cow, it was light outside, and I also I'm late...Going to his job, I asked for three days of annual leave! I'm going to plant my wheat fields first to feed my cows! Also looking for pigs and sheep and cats, I need to fish for cats, I need a fishing rod for fishing, so I need three spider silks, so I need to find spiders first! what! This addicting great cause! 】

The second-highest comment was even more interesting, writing:

【Dry! Mosaic monster! ! 】

Short and powerful.

It made every player feel sympathetic, and quickly brought it up.

Then, Ming Yan clicked on the backstage of Blue Star Studio.

The intellectual brain operation in the interstellar age is very fast, like the work that has already determined the profit distribution, it is all in real time.

As of noon, the number of purchases of the full version of "Minecraft" has reached more than 400,000 copies, each priced at 6 yuan, and the income can be simply calculated as 2.45 million.

Then, the tax needs to be deducted, and then divided into 10% of Feiyang Platform, and the rest will all flow to Bluestar Studio.

The total is 1,604,396 yuan!

This is the income just 12 hours after the launch, and it is also thanks to such a large recommended position given by the Feiyang platform - although the platform itself is not large and the traffic is not so good.

For a fresh graduate, it is already a very good result, but it is still not satisfied.

Minecraft has a lot of potential and will eventually sell far more than that.

It's just that it was able to be so popular in the past life, and part of it is due to the MOD creator. Thousands of mods bring endless possibilities to this already open world - it allows the player to truly dominate everything in the game world!

For this matter, Ming Yan has already put it on the schedule.

However, this matter cannot be rushed. We must wait for the sales of the original version of "Minecraft" to come up and have a certain number of player groups before continuing to make bigger plans.

The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but it also takes a while: let the aroma spread first.

Another impact brought about by the popular launch of the game is that Ming Yan's self-media account suddenly became popular.

Because I couldn't find anything about "Blue Star Studio" on the Internet, there was only one account with the name "Blue Star Studio Game Architect".

So many players and fans directly followed this account.

A few hours ago, the number of new fans of Mingyan had already reached 999+, which can be said to be an overnight success.

By the way, he has posted a total of four blogs in the past, and now they have all been pulled out and whipped.

Especially this one: [The mosaic monster is a dangerous creature. Once it appears in your field of vision, you will be in danger of life and property. Therefore, not letting you see it is also a kind of protection for you. 】

Now, the most liked comment below is: [Mr. Architect! Are you a devil who takes pleasure in torturing players? 】

The comments that followed were all crying about the Mosaic monster—that is, the horrible Tintin monster.

After all, if you are caught off guard and come in front of you, it is a self-destruction... If you are not careful, it can even blow up the home that you have built up so hard!

Sure enough, "As soon as it appears in the field of vision, there will be danger to life and property"!

Many players who have been scolded are called a grief all over the field, and shed tears like waterfalls in the comments.

Seeing their crying, Ming Yan curved the corners of his mouth, revealing a happy smile.

Even the earliest blog on Ming Yan's account that no one cares about was forwarded.

[Strawberry Pudding: From this smile, I actually saw devilish black eyes and a horrible, inhuman smile. Behind this smile is definitely the heart of a ruthless evil villain! //@tiny job :)]
