In terms of vision, he was actually inferior to an intern.
...
The next day at noon, Mingyan sat up with a yawn.
He slept until noon, and had a number of recurring nightmares about the past.
The destruction of Earth was caused by a natural disaster; on the day of the apocalypse, a near-absolute-zero cold wave enveloped the entire world…
He said he froze to death, so he is now particularly afraid of the cold.
It's winter now, and it takes him a long time just to get dressed.
However, before getting out of bed, he noticed his communicator, which displayed:
Missed calls: 42
[Unread Messages: 29]
Mingyan's lips twitched. He picked up his phone and glanced at it briefly. The first few messages were from the Feiyang Games platform, but the rest were from other platforms.
He didn't rush to call back, but instead opened the Feiyang software and took a look.
Upon entering the first page, a huge banner popped up!
"Warmly celebrate the champion game 'Minecraft' reaching 100,000 downloads in just 10 hours! The holy land of adventure and building awaits your arrival!"
A perfectly good "graduation project champion" is simply stripped of the word "graduation project". Isn't this kind of marketing a bit shameless?
However, Mingyan said she liked it.
He smiled, clicked on it, and saw yet another promotional slogan:
[A masterpiece recommended by the editor-in-chief! 98% positive player rating!]
Next, the game's download page will be displayed, and there are already hundreds of player reviews for the game.
The comment that received the most likes reads like this:
[Just came to comment! I can't even remember the last time I stayed up all night playing games, so being able to play this game is pure bliss! It's incredibly fun! I was hooked from day one, I never imagined a survival game could be so interesting. I spent hours building a little house by the water, hours mining underground with all my might, and then I started desperately searching for a cow... By the time I found it, it was already dawn, and I was late... To hell with work, I took three days of annual leave! I need to plant my wheat field to feed my cow! I also need to find pigs, sheep, and cats. For the cat, I need to fish, and for fishing, I need a fishing rod, so I need three spider threads, and therefore I need to find spiders first! Ah! This incredibly addictive and magnificent undertaking!]
The second most popular comment was even more interesting; it read:
[Damn! This is a mosaic monster!!!]
Concise and powerful.
It resonated with every player, and they quickly pushed it to the top.
Then, Mingyan opened the backend of Blue Star Studio.
In the interstellar era, AI operates at an extremely high speed; tasks such as determining profit distribution are done in real time.
By noon, the number of purchases of the full version of Minecraft had reached over 400,000 copies, with each copy priced at 6 yuan, resulting in a preliminary revenue of 2.45 million yuan.
Then, after deducting taxes, 10% is allocated to the Feiyang platform, and the rest flows entirely to Lanxing Studio.
The total is 1,604,396 yuan!
This is the revenue from just 12 hours after going live, thanks in large part to the prominent recommendation given by the Feiyang platform—even though the platform itself isn't very large and doesn't have much traffic.
This is already an outstanding achievement for a recent graduate, but Mingyan is still not satisfied.
Minecraft has great potential, and its final sales will far exceed this amount.
However, its immense popularity in its previous life was partly due to modders. Thousands upon thousands of mods brought endless possibilities to this already open world—allowing players to truly dominate everything within it!
Mingyan has already put this matter on his schedule.
However, this cannot be rushed. We must wait for the original version of Minecraft to sell well and have a certain number of players before we can make any bigger plans.
Good wine may indeed be known even in remote alleys, but it still needs time to spread its aroma.
Another impact of the game's explosive launch was that Mingyan's social media account suddenly became popular.
Because there is no information about "Blue Star Studio" online, there is only one account with the title of "Blue Star Studio Game Architect".
Therefore, many players and fans directly followed this account.
A few hours ago, Mingyan's new follower count had already reached 999+, making him an overnight sensation.
Incidentally, he had posted four blog entries in the past, and now they've all been dragged out and criticized.
Especially this one: "The Mosaic Monster is a dangerous creature. Once it appears in your field of vision, your lives and property will be in danger. Therefore, preventing you from seeing it is also a form of protection."
The most upvoted comment below is: [Mr. Architect! Are you a devil who enjoys torturing players?]
The comments that followed were all lamenting the horror of the mosaic monster—or rather, the penis monster.
After all, it comes out of nowhere, right in front of you, like a self-destruction... If you're not careful, it could blow up the house you've worked so hard to build!
It's true what they say: "As soon as something comes into view, there's danger to life and property!"
Many players who were cheated were filled with grief and tears streamed down their faces in the comments.
Seeing their tearful complaints, Mingyan's lips curled into a pleased smile.
Even the earliest blog post on Mingyan's account, which had previously received no attention, was reposted.
