Chen Mo sat at the counter on the first floor, so that he can see the guests outside the shop at any time.
Chen Mo has also moved the laptop to the counter. Without a guest coming, he continued playing 《Plants vs Zombies》 to see if there is anything to be changed.
Chen Mo had developed his game for more than three months, from the end of August to December, it is almost winter.
It"s getting colder outside and the pedestrians are wearing pants and jackets. Today"s weather is good, there"s no wind and it"s very suitable for traveling.
Chen Mo spent an hour playing 《Plants vs Zombies》 and found nothing wrong. He got up and walked on the first floor of the experiential shop.
He felt a bit pain since there is no guest coming.
Chen Mo opened a can of c.o.ke and sat back at the counter again.
Then he remembered that 《Flappy Bird》 had pa.s.sed the free period, and from now on he could officially put the game on the app store.
Chen Mo intends to release 《Flappy Bird》 and 《Plants vs Zombies》together. He will also advertise 《Plants vs Zombies》 using the advertising s.p.a.ce of 《Flappy Bird》.
In fact, the most popular period of 《Flappy Bird》 was the first few months that it appeared, and now three months had pa.s.sed, many players who are interested in this game had already played it. The heat is fading and it is impossible to play it all the time, so now, 《Flappy Bird》 shouldn"t make too much money.
As for how much money Chen Mo has missed, it"s hard to estimate, because in the free trial stage, all the game data are on the side of the compet.i.tion organizer, Chen Mo himself does not know how many advertis.e.m.e.nts 《Flappy Bird》 had generated.
"Forget it, I"ll just consider it as a good way to reduce my bad luck"
Although he felt that he had missed several hundred million yuan, but Chen Mo was soon relieved, there are still many opportunities to make money in the future, and he isn"t in a rush.
Just then, a sister came to the experience shop"s entrance and looked around.
This girl dressed casually with a thin jacket and jeans. She looks around 26 years old and even slightly older than Chen Mo. Wearing a long ponytail and giving a more neutral feeling, she is good-looking and looks very capable and experienced.
Chen Mo greeted her, "h.e.l.lo."
The sister stood at the entrance and looked at the sign of the experiencing shop and the arrangement inside, "Are you a game designer? Is this a game experience shop?"
Chen Mo nodded, "Yes."
The sister pats her chest, "Oh, that"s good. I previously thought it was a new internet cafe, which made me nervous for quite a long time."
Chen Mo: ???
The sister walked inside and explained, "Oh, I am the owner of "Finger Edge Internet Cafe" around the corner, to spy on the enemy"s situation."
Wtf, so she isn"t a player but a peer!
Chen Mo was slightly speechless. This sister have her own internet cafe, she definitely didn"t come here to experience games. She just came to look whether this shop is an internet cafe or an experience shop, and won"t steal her business.
The sister smiled apologetically, "Sorry, since this isn"t an internet cafe, but an experience shop, then it"s alright. We will be neighbors and we can visit each other more often."
Internet cafes and experience shops have similar functions, but there is actually no direct compet.i.tion. Because in the experience shop, the player can only play the game designer"s work, which is equivalent to early access to the game.
Game designers generally do not play other games, nor do they allow players to play other games in the experience shop.
Chen Mo nodded, "It"s okay, you can come and sit any time, I don"t think there will be too many guests here."
"Yeah." This girl really didn"t regard herself as an outsider, she then sat on the sofa while opening a can of c.o.ke.
Chen Mo said, "Hey… this drink isn"t free."
The sister put the c.o.ke back, "Sorry, I got used doing it in my own shop, hehe."
The sister looked at the layout of the lobby, "You have a s.p.a.cious experience shop, how many machines are there? It"s a bit wasteful."
Chen Mo said, "Well, the experience shop is mainly for player to try the games, and not for profit, so the layout is a little loose."
The sister said, "It"s quite good, I"m envious of all you big game designers. Oh, yes, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Zhuo Yao."
Chen Mo said, "Nice to meet you, I"m Chen Mo. I have a new game that I haven"t released yet, do you want to try it?"
Zhuo Yao waved her hand, "I have no time, there is still something I have to do in my internet cafe. I just took the time and sneak out, I"ll come back and try it some other day."
Chen Mo nodded, "Alright, you"re always welcome."
Zhuo Yao stood up and was ready to leave. She suddenly thought of something and asked, "How much do you charge for an hour"
Chen Mo said, "5 yuan."
Zhuo Yao said with some surprise, "A little expensive? I only charge 4 yuan on my internet cafe lobby area. Your experience shop is new, there should be only two or three games?"
Chen Mo said, "There is only one game for now."
Zhuo Yao reminded, "I think you should still set the price a little lower like free of charge, you run an experience shop and don"t need to consider profits, your price is a bit… not close to the people."
Chen Mo smiled, "I see, I"ll consider it."
Zhuo Yao nodded, "Okay, I"ll go first and come back another day, come on, you should immediately come up with a really popular game, so my internet cafe can benefit from it."
Chen Mo smiled and said, "Hard to say."
After Zhuo Yao left, Chen Mo"s experience shop returned to a desolate state.
Chen Mo is not in a hurry, experience shop like this needs to take time. Chen Mo didn"t do any advertising so it"s normal that no one came.
In terms of location, the location of the experiential shop is neither good nor bad. The location is a bit off, but there is a neighborhood nearby and a little further away there is a university, and the flow of people is quite a lot.
Half an hour later, there came the second guest.
This dude had some oily hair and dull eyes, at first glance he looks like he hasn"t had enough sleep, but he is just a teenager who is addicted with the internet.
He came to the entrance of the experience shop and looked at the signboard of "Thunder Game Experience Shop" and said to himself, "Thunder game, I have never heard of it."
The dude went to the shop and asked Chen Mo, "I say, is this an experience shop? or an internet cafe?"
Chen Mo nodded, "Well, it"s not an internet cafe."
"Oh." This internet addicted teenager was a bit disappointed, obviously he is looking for an internet cafes. Although you can play games on the experience shop, but you can only play the games of this company, and there aren"t that many games.
Not to mention that he hasn"t heard of this company.
The internet addicted teenager hesitated for a moment and said to himself, "Forget it, there is no available seats on the nearby internet cafes. I"ll just check this place and pa.s.s the time."
He went into the shop and took out his ID card and mobile phone, "Boss, how much for an hour?"
Chen Mo said, "5 yuan."
The internet addicted teenager was stunned, "Wut? 5 yuan? Uhm… Nevermind."
This internet addicted teenager turned around.
"…"
Chen Mo was speechless, this dude is really simple! 5 yuan for an hour is nothing, as for turning around and leaving?
5 yuan!
What can you do with 5 yuan these days? That money is only enough for 2 popsicles!
It is not even enough for the first charge of the game which is 6 yuan!
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
No way, Chen Mo had to continue waiting.
