Game Maker: Starting by Healing the Players Chapter 221: Completely Changed What We Thought We Knew!

After two promo videos in a row, most players had already guessed this was Nebula Gas' special way of promoting Minecraft.

Players who had already tried building houses in the ga were shaken after seeing the Ancient Ro and "Forbidden City" videos. So couldn't even focus on eating or drinking anymore.

Their minds were racing with possibilities, wishing they could jump into the ga world right away to try it themselves.

Even though many players knew deep down that building sothing on the scale of "Ancient Ro" or the "Forbidden City" was probably impossible for them alone,

simpler projects seed doable, right?

In that mont, many players who once built ugly little matchbox houses completely forgot their past failures.

All they could think about now were grand, beautiful buildings.

It was like playing Dark Souls: you might get crushed by Iudex Gundyr, but after watching pros take down the Naless King without getting hit, suddenly you feel like you can do it too.

You might not beat the Naless King, but going back to fight Gundyr? No problem.

That was exactly the mindset of most players now.

Clearly, the recent hype shocked them as well.

"Lucas really nailed it this ti. He's turned Minecraft's promotion into an art!"

"Yeah, I never thought this ga could be so jaw-dropping. First Ancient Ro, then the Forbidden City. Incredible!"

"The key is, everything in those videos seems like sothing players can actually make themselves."

"And the promo has gone way beyond the gaming circle."

"Well, it's because it's so positive, and the art style is very wholeso. Sure, there are monsters, but they're cartoony."

"Still, at the end of the day, it's just a block ga. How much more can it really surprise us?"

"Exactly, no matter what, it's still just blocks."

"Cut the crap and check Lucas' account right now. Holy shit! Minecraft can actually be played like this? I'm done!"

"What's going on?"

Three days after the "Forbidden City" video, Lucas dropped another post.

Players were buzzing with excitent. For the past two days, everyone had been guessing if there'd be another promo.

And if there was, what kind of shocking scene it would show.

The guesses were all over the place: Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, or even the imagined city of Lothric.

Players threw out ideas left and right.

And now, finally, a new video appeared.

They also noticed a pattern: every three days, a new video.

By the looks of it, was Lucas planning to keep this going until the official launch of the ga?

But when players clicked into the latest post and video with excitent, many were stunned.

Because this third video was nothing like "Ancient Ro" or "Forbidden City."

The title was simple: How to Play "To Watts" on a Piano in Minecraft.

When players saw the title, they froze.

Wasn't this supposed to be about building houses and ancient cities?

How did it turn into a piano concert?

But once the video started, players were completely floored.

"What the hell am I looking at!?"

"You an… you can actually play like this?"

"Wait! Isn't this just a block ga?"

"Is this so new update?"

"Don't tell this sound is actually from the ga and not edited in after!"

Countless players stared at the footage in disbelief.

Sure, the Forbidden City and Ancient Ro were amazing, but at least you could imagine how they were built.

But this video?

All the players were stunned.

In the video, there was a huge piano made entirely out of blocks — with all 88 black and white keys, the piano body, pedals, soundboard, strings, and hamrs.

From the outside it already looked impressive, though compared to the Ancient Ro and the Forbidden City builds, it wasn't quite as overwhelming.

But the key point was — this thing could move!

And it actually made sound.

As "To Watts" played, the black and white keys pressed up and down, the cara moved inside the piano, the dampers shifted, and the hamrs struck the strings.

It wasn't just the players who were shocked.

This ti even ga designers in the industry were stunned.

What was going on?

Wasn't this supposed to be a block-stacking ga?

How could soone build a piano?

And even make it produce sound in the ga!?

Many designers were left completely dumbfounded.

They never imagined Minecraft could be used like this.

Especially those who had already been playing for five days — they were filled with doubt and rushed to open the Nebula Gas platform to double-check.

No mistake!

They had bought the sa ga.

So why was the video so different from their own experience?

How did this even work?

So hardcore grinders and technical players dug deeper and figured out part of the trick.

It seed to involve the ga's redstone system.

Plenty of players had already found redstone in Creative Mode before.

But few paid attention to it, or really understood it. At most they knew it could be used to make switches.

But now it was clear — that wasn't all.

As for ordinary dia, they didn't care too much what Minecraft really was.

But because of earlier buzz around the Ancient Ro and Forbidden City builds, even non-gaming dia had heard about it.

This piano video shocked even more gaming outlets.

A working piano inside the ga, that could actually play sound.

How rare was that?

News sites rushed to repost it, with eye-catching headlines.

"A young man couldn't afford a piano, so he built one in a ga!"

"Ever seen a pixel piano? Turns out it's real…"

It was classic clickbait.

But it also pushed Minecraft's popularity even further.

For gars who had been following along, this completely changed how they saw the ga.

Just from these videos, they could hardly believe these things were actually made inside the sa ga they had been playing.

And now, even more players were eagerly waiting for future videos, full of curiosity.

Could the ga hold even more surprises?
