Minecraft's Google-Narrative
If a Google search of "Minecraft" were arranged in a narrative structure, it would be classified as a biography, detailing the life of Minecraft, the protagonist, from birth to the present. This biography would be interesting due to the fact that the subject would still be fairly young and would have much more to accomplish, although his present accomplishments would be many and varied.
The first section of the story would be explaining Minecraft's birth and his family. It would discuss his father Markus "Notch" Persson and his family, Mojang Computer Entertainment. The conception scene would be detailed, although it would be kept appropriate for younger audiences. This section would also give all of the necessary background on Minecraft, so that people new to him would understand in detail who he is and how to properly play.
The second section would be the first few years of Minecraft's life. As he moved from PC to other platforms, he tried very hard to find players, and succeeded. Before long, he was one of the "popular games". He developed an extremely large player-base that continued to grow. He also went through numerous updates in an attempt to keep up with the current gaming trends.
The third section would be Minecraft's graduation from the "indie game" category and his progression into the big leagues. As he grew up, more and more people took notice and started to play. His updates became more frequent, allowing more and more features for users. This would also be a place where responses from interviews and forums would be posted, giving the reader exact quotes explaining how people feel about Minecraft.
The fourth and final section would lead up into the present, where Minecraft has been praised with a multitude of awards, downloaded by millions, and continues to grow. It would discuss his plans to move forward onto other systems, including the upcoming next generation consoles. The story would end with an encouraging note, letting readers know that anyone can accomplish great things. It would leave the reader waiting for the next installment about Minecraft's life.
Hahaha the conception scene. I like that you make this into a story of achievement instead of just a bunch of facts that are tied to a protagonist without a real meaning.
ReplyDeleteI like how you made this into a story about the life of Minecraft like Minecraft is actually a person. I think that was a creative thing to do to explain its biography.
