Is there a better match than book+Minecraft? Peanut sauce+jelly? Tongxin powder+cheese? Of course, I can't think of what else is better than using ink and paper to tell the wonderful main world adventure story.

There are more evidence here: we are about to release a new novel based on Minecraft, "The Rise of the Lord of Qier", which is a prequel to an exciting game, which explains the early life of the leader of Qier.

Wait, why do you depend on the life of that big wicked?I asked Matt Forbeck, the amazing author of this book, he told me how he wrote a story that made you care about the bad guys, how did he make the touch of the hand inspiring, and why he always giggled and laughed.Not good (honestly, I feel a little disappointed by this).

Hey, Matt!I promise that I will ask you about Minecraft about Minecraft in one minute, but first of all, I have to sigh that you have finished three novels!

Matt: Yes!This is a good job.In fact, I used to interview the company Bungie as a freelance writer. I think this company is my god.Two years before "Halo", they showed me a game demonstration. Wow, I was stunned at the time.

Alex: Envy.And "Halo" is just the beginning of your writing!I don't know how many books you have written.

Matt: I also forgot how many books I write.I started writing novels in my 30s, and I didn't even read other books at the time.

Alex: Many of your books are related to the game.I guess you must like the game very much, right?

Matt: Oh, yes, I'm a fool who plays a game.In fact, I was originally a board game designer.I grew up in southern Wisconsin, where I was so popular that "Dragon and Dungeon" had been popular. After graduating from high school, I drove to play test games with a group of former TSR employees (original D & D publishers).Then I became a board game designer, and then I transitioned to write related novels for the game, such as "Blood Bowl" and "Dragon and Dungeon".Games and novels constitute my interested crossroads.

Alex: Have you ever thought about writing a book with "Minecraft" as the background?

Matt: No!One feature of Minecraft is that it does not tell a real story.You can do whatever you want in the game. It has no plot and role, so "Minecraft: Dungeon" is interesting because it has continuous plots and characters!

Alex: Yes, "Minecraft: Dungeon" does tell a story!But you decide to write prequel to the game you play.

MATT: This is a sufficient reason why I write prequel.I don't want to just tell stories, because as a player, you are telling your own story, and this is half the fun of playing "Minecraft: Dungeon".If I tell this story in a novel, this story will be a boutique, and no one is willing to be told them to play the game by mistake.So one of the best things you can do is to add more backgrounds to the games you want to play, right?To give you more reasons to care about what you are doing.In the prequel, I can show you who you are against, why he is a bad person, and why the world is like this; there is also a staff that only appears in the field for a few seconds.

Alex: a great thing about "Minecraft: Dungeon" is full of action with it, and you write some magnificent battle scenes.

Matt: I like to describe war!If I can write a book describing the magnificent war, I will be very happy.I don't know why I am happy, but I am good at describing how humans hurt each other (laughs).Reapping in the book is an interesting challenge.If you can press the button and let your role attack, this is much simpler than me describing the battle scene.So please do not look at the fans of the fans in the book.Why is this onomatopoeia important?What does this mean?Why are the characters worry about what happened?

Alex: Yeah, "The Rise of the Lord of Qier" allows you to better shape the characters.The same goes for the Lord of Qier!Is it difficult for readers to feel the same with bad guys?

Matt: When I write this book, I like Archie very much.I sympathize with this poor guy!I don't want to be with him. I mean he is a bad person in many aspects, but I understand and witness how he became such a person.I know that bad guys are actually one of the most interesting characters, because it is easy to say this: "Do the right thing, how about being a hero?" Right?But some people tried to become a hero but unfortunately failed. Instead, he embarked on the road of darkness, which was more intriguing.Achi was very sympathetic in many ways. He was bullied, and other bad things also happened to him.Alex: Even at the end of the book, he was sympathetic!His behavior shows that it is difficult to become an excellent leader.

MATT: In fact, he doesn't want to be independent.He is almost a hero who is reluctant to be a hero in the classic hero.In the hero journey theory, heroes are summoned, and some people refuse to call at the beginning.For Achi, this is an evil call, and he doesn't want to set off.

Alex: It's fun, I find that I care more about the Lord Qier in the book rather than a real hero!

Matt: Yes, there are not so good in the hero!Writing heroes is a bit tricky because I want to make sure you can make up your own role.Most people think they are good people, they want to play a good person and become heroes.This is why He Yingxiong is so seductive -we are exploring and learning how to be that kind of person.These are all interesting ideas that can make you think deeply.So when you play the game, I hope you can see the role of yourself. Writing a hero in the book is an interesting balanced behavior. I want to think of them as an reflection without filling in specific details.In most of the plots, I didn't talk much about the hero's name!

Alex: The effect is very good, because the end of the book is cleverly connected to the beginning of the game.How did you make them connect so smoothly?

Matt: I cheated!I used the game trailer!This is the blueprint for the entire novel.I have written novels adapted from the movie, such as "Grand Theft One".Someone handed me a movie script and I had to expand according to the script to add more backgrounds and motivations to the role.For example, this game is a half of the trailer!This sounds challenging, but the trailer gave me the framework and many emotional climax.As long as I caught the point, I know how to write.Just like Achi's laughter: I listened to his laughter and understood his emotions in the trailer, and I enlarged his emotions in the novel.

Alex: Achi's gangster laughed is indeed impressive.I really want him to laugh in the whole book from beginning to end.

Matt: One of my editors always tell me that writing emotions is like a seasoning -you only need to put a proper taste, but if you put too much, it will make people unbearable.If you keep giggling, the internal flavor is too strong.You must let people slowly integrate into it, and then shock them with a strong taste.You need an emotional impact.

Alex:*In the big notebook called "Bringing the Wicked Plan": "Reduce the Lucky Laugh"*Thank you very much, Matt!

"The Rise of the Lord of Qier" will be officially released on July 7th in North America and the United Kingdom on July 9.
