Chapter 230 - First Version
Chen Mo planned some huge changes, but it’d probably only be realised in the second or third stages of the release.
A part of it was to implement a more complete tech tree to allow players to place down blocks to build more advanced items such as cars or trains, and potentially recreate modern cities.
Of course many have done this in his previous life, but a lot of it was stationary and non-interactive. Chen Mo wanted to add these technologies as a core part of the game.
However, these were problems to be dealt with in the future.

It didn’t take long for Minecraft’s PC Demo to be completed.
However, everyone outside of Chen Mo thought that it was horrible to look at.
Chen Mo didn’t mind as he tried out the demo of Minecraft on his laptop.
Chen Mo declined all activities before Chinese New Year to focus on Minecraft.
Chen Mo only showed up to the Awards Ceremony and didn’t participate too much, and neither Diablo nor Don’t Starve was awarded.
It was within reason as these games didn’t fit the tastes of the judges. Diablo was a western fantasy game with an incredibly dark theme, and its playstyle wasn’t particularly revolutionary either; whereas Don’t Starve wasn’t for an award as it was a smaller game.
Moreover, the judges of this world didn’t have high expectations for sandbox games. In the eyes of many of the judges, Don’t Start was just a niche game that happened to get higher than average sales, and couldn’t make it as one of the greats.
