At 4 in the afternoon, a red Ferrari stopped at the entrance of the experience shop.

Zhao Zihao got out of the car and saw the main entrance of the experience shop: "Ho! This experience shop is not small, so Chen Mo manage to have a good opportunity and get it."

Lin Mao look at him contemptuous: "Don"t you own several such big shops?"

Zhao Zihao said: "Hey, that"s all my parents" business, they have nothing to do with me. Chen Mo, earned it by himself, it"s different. Let"s go and look inside."

The two men called Chen Mo and waited for Chen Mo to open the door.

Zhao Zihao wore a white T-s.h.i.+rt on his upper body, jeans on his lower body, and a pair of sneakers. If he had not just got out from the Ferrari, no one would believe that he would be a rich second generation.

In fact, the clothes he is wearing is very expensive, but for some reason his clothes looks much not different from the local stall.

Lin Mao dressed more formally, short-sleeved s.h.i.+rt, casual pants, and his personality is usually calm, it seems to make him feel more reliable.

The door opened.

"Come, come in." Chen Mo greeted the two people.

Zhao Zihao made 2 rounds on the first floor and looked at the layout inside: "Excellent Chen Mo, this shop is really good, and later I"ll call you Chen Mo the internet cafe owner." 

Chen Mo said: "Seriously, this is an experience shop."

Lin Mao turned around a little enviously: "Are all the things here provided by the organizers? It"s really good. Until now, I still don"t have my own experience shop."

Chen Mo said: "You can also join a compet.i.tion."

Lin Mao smiled: "Sigh, I already partic.i.p.ated a compet.i.tion like that but it"s too difficult to win the champions.h.i.+p. It"s mainly that the audience"s tastes are quite weird. The last time I took part in the compet.i.tion, the game was very good and yet the audience didn"t think the same. I got second place, and I couldn"t find anyone to argue about it.

Three people chatted for a while and found a nearby restaurant to eat.

They have three people in total and they can"t eat too many dishes. Although Zhao Zihao is rich, he wasn"t very particular about the food. He ordered five dishes and asked for two bottles of beer while eating.

"Zhao Zihao, how is your studio going?" Chen Mo asked.

Zhao Zihao took a mouthful of food and said: "Just so so, I wasn"t expecting to make money at all, anyways it is just to play games with me. If I couldn"t defeat someone in the game, I would call some people, or a group to defeat him."

Lin Mao said: "Look at their prospect."

Zhao Zihao said angrily: "So what else am I gonna do with these people? Isn"t it just to have them fight for me in the game."

Chen Mo said: "Then you would run wild in the game?"

Zhao Zihao shook his head: "Hey, speaking about it, these 2 days have made me so mad."

Chen Mo asked: "What happened? You got bullied in the game?"

Zhao Zihao said: "The foreign VR game 《Earth Online》 that was just released recently. I have been playing it recently and made me so mad."

Chen Mo asked: "What happened?"

Zhao Zihao said: "Don"t mention it, the designer of this game is sick! I"m telling you that everyone that enters the game, all of them were born directly on the street and with 500 dollars on them. Everyone has to work like in the real world to make money!"

"Do you think I"ll play your game to experience the life of a worker? As a result, I can"t even find a way to top up money in game!

"The most irritating thing is that there is always a kind of stupid people that come to you and try to purposely find fault. And when you beat them, the police come to catch you. Since they always fight against you, I consider looking help from my younger brothers, unfortunately I have to take a train to find them since we were not born in the same city! 

Chen Mo smiled: "Isn"t this too realistic?"

Lin Mao sighed: "This foreign game designer is amazing, such idea would come to his mind and he made it?"

Zhao Zihao was very dissatisfied and said: "He is amazing alright, but I always think that this designer is stupid, what benefits does he think by disgusting the players? Is it not good to have this technology do anything else?"

Chen Mo said: "It"s a bit unreasonable. In reality, we have experienced these stuffs countless of times. What"s the point of experiencing things again in the game?"

Zhao Zihao continued: "And the annoying part is, I have money but I can"t top up and buy anything in game and you have to earn it yourself! They also vigorously cracked down on private transactions and your accounts would get banned once they found that you traded privately. I don"t even want to play this game anymore."

Chen Mo smiled and said: "Don"t worry, wait for me to make a game for you to spend money so you can directly buy combat effectiveness and you can be as cool as you want."

Zhao Zihao Yile: "Really, Chen Mo, then I"ll wait for your game and spend money to buy combat effectiveness! Don"t even say anything, I"ll top up thousand yuan for it!"

Chen Mo smiled and said: "A thousand yuan? A thousand yuan will only guarantee that you can die with a little dignity in the game."

"Ah?" Zhao Zihao was stunned. "A thousand yuan is still less? The qualification to join the Closed Beta of 《Earth Online》 only cost 500 yuan.

Chen Mo bowed his head and sipped his tea: "Okay, you will know by that time."

Lin Mao said: "Hey, this is a long way in the future. Zhao Zihao, what is the specific business your studio do now and how many players are there?"

Zhao Zihao thought for a moment: "The player. This is the case, our company is a studio and we don"t directly manage the guild. The guild leaders manage the players and we don"t directly communicate with the players."

Lin Mao asked: "How many guild leaders can you reach? When my game is done, can you pull some users for me?"

Zhao Zihao said: "That depends on how much you want. I know about a dozen guild leaders and the number of players they can get is about a few thousands. It"s a bit difficult to rely on these people to support your game"s income, but it"s okay just supporting it."

Lin Mao sighed: "The independent games I made are not easy to advertise and it is a niche. Those channels don"t even see it good and are short of resources."

Zhao Zihao said: "Can"t you just directly publish it on the app stores?"

Lin Mao shook his head: "It is directly published in app store. But no one pays attention to it and there is still no users to see."

Zhao Zihao thought for a moment and said: "Well, I"ll ask you when you successfully make your own game and I"ll try to find a way to heat up the market for you. If it"s not possible, at least it can make your data looks good. By the way, Chen Mo, do you have any suggestion?"

Chen Mo said: "I haven"t seen your game yet."

Lin Mao took out his cell phone and handed it to Chen Mo: "Look at it, the degree of completion is about 80 percent completed."

Chen Mo took the phone and clicked on the independent game that Lin Mao was developing.

After playing for five minutes, Chen Mo has calculated it in his mind.

This is a level progression game, adopting the European medieval package, the theme is the cliché story of a knight saving the princess, as well as the boss battle story to defeat the dragon.

In Chen Mo"s view the design is actually quite good among the D-cla.s.s game designer, but there are still some defects.

Although all aspects are decent, it is very difficult to get players to pay for it. Even if the game is priced at ten yuan, the players will also has consider why they want to buy this game.

Plot? Playstyle? Art? All are good, but none of them were particularly impressive.

Chen Mo thought for a moment and said: "I think your thinking may have some misunderstanding."

Lin Mao asked: "What misunderstanding?"

Chen Mo said: "I think there is a problem with your positioning. You"re making an indie games, even if it is really a niche, but you really don"t need to position your game as a niche game."

Zhao Zihao scratched his head: "What do you mean? Chen Mo stop beating around the bush and say it clearly."

Chen Mo said: "As you can see, you have worked all aspects in every way, but you have done it exactly according to the standards of a niche game, that is to say, you have only targeted a handful of players who likes the subject and the number of these players is simply not enough to support the game"s sales."

Lin Mao is somewhat puzzled: "But isn"t making the game aimed at the needs of the targeted players?"

Chen Mo said: "I mean, you can expand the target player"s group a bit more, to put it plainly, you need to let more people play your game."

Lin Mao wondered: "It"s simple, I know this as well, but how do you let more people play it?"

Chen Mo said: "It"s very simple, find a bright spot."
