Early in the morning, the experience shop opened.
Not long after the door opened, Jia Peng came with a few boys.
"Morning manager, is the game going to be released today?" Jia Peng asked.
Chen Mo nodded, "Yeah, how come you came so early today?"
Jia Peng said, "《Plants vs Zombies》 is going to be released, some of us have no cla.s.s today, so we come over to cheer you up."
Chen Mo said, "All right, welcome. Come, go sit down. How many levels did you clear in endless mode?"
Jia Peng said, "Close to 84. Manager, is the endless mode really endless? There is no limit?"
Chen Mo said, "Only just 84? I"ll tell you this, reaching 100 in endless mode is only just the beginning."
Jia Peng couldn"t say a word, "Wtf, is there such abnormality? I have already felt that playing on the 84th level is already hard and it"s already difficult to move to the next level."
The remaining boys also nodded, "Yeah, 100 is just the beginning? Manager, are we talking about the same game?"
Chen Mo laughed and said nothing.
Three or four days have pa.s.sed, and since Jia Peng and his group were the first batch of players, they have basically already completed the adventure mode. Originally the adventure mode wasn"t a particularly a difficult mode, Chen Mo designed it as difficult as the one in his previous world, as long as the players have a normal intelligence, they only need to take a period of time playing in order to clear it.
Originally Wen Lingwei and Jia Peng thought that the game was over as they already cleared it, after all, this is a puzzle game, and they got so captivated playing it for three or four days to complete. The game content has been very rich, far more richer than those common puzzle games.
As a result, they found that the game has an endless mode!
This mode was equivalent to opening a door to a new world, the difficulty of each round in endless mode was constantly rising, these people thought that they had already figured out this game, but when the endless mode came out, they then realized how naive they were.
In the current rankings, the highest record was Wen Lingwei at 93 level, while the others are basically at 60 to 80 level, and they have a very clear feeling of despair!
In the adventure mode they thought they have some powerful strategy, but in endless mode those strategies that they thought powerful were ruthlessly crushed, and they felt like they were playing a new game.
Therefore, these people often came to Chen Mo"s experience shop to play, in order to exchange ideas, but they also want to get some cutting-edge skills from Chen Mo in order to rush through the ranking on the leaderboard.
Jia Peng and a few boys skillfully started up and opened 《Plants vs Zombies》, logging in their game accounts and continuing to challenge the endless mode.
"Manager, what time is your game gonna get released?" Jia Peng asked.
Chen Mo said, "12 pm."
Jia Peng nodded, "Alright, then we"ll download it first and give it a 5-star rating."
For new games, it doesn"t matter what time you released it, but they usually choose specific hour, so that it is easier to record the data.
The 24-hour data after the new game released is more important, mainly including the downloads and game ratings, which are directly related to the subsequent App Store recommendations.
When launching a new game like the Emperor Interactive Entertainment and Chan Yi Interactive Entertainment, they will often carry out a long-term promotion and warm-up in advance, and on the launched day, they will get flooded with a large number of players and would undoubtedly occupy the New Game List.
Chen Mo didn"t have much money to promote his game, but he has his own way.
At 10 am, Chen Mo has already released 《Flappy Bird》 on the App Store first and the in-app ads were filled with 《Plants vs Zombies》 advertis.e.m.e.nts, when the players clicked on it they will automatically jump to 《Plants vs Zombies》 download page in the app store.
How many players does 《Flappy Bird》 have? Even Chen Mo himself wasn"t clear about it, but it certainly won"t be less, a large part of them are casual game players, the effect of promoting 《Plants vs Zombies》 would definitely be good.
Chen Mo doesn"t expect 《Flappy Bird》 to make any money now, it is completely free to download, it is just to get people"s attention, the more people that downloaded it, the better and will strive to convert all these people into 《Plants vs Zombies》 players.
In addition, Chen Mo was also thinking of some of the game media.
It stands to reason that he is only a D-cla.s.s game designer, and there won"t be too many people paying attention to the new game he is releasing.
These game media have resources in their hands, but who is going to give those resources to a new game designer who wasn"t famous?
However, Chen Mo has a t.i.tle and topics!
He is the champion of the game design compet.i.tion, he also had an argument with s.h.i.+ Huazhe a while ago, and all of these are known by those game media.
Chen Mo posted a Weibo.
"《Flappy Bird》 has been linked to the app store and is now completely open for free download (permanently free). The new game 《Plants vs Zombies》 will be released at 12 pm, on both PC and Mobile Phone platforms, please let us witness together, to see if its first month sales will reach 100,000."
@s.h.i.+ Huazhe, @Game Info Network, @Sky Network, @Weibo News Game Channel, @Hengyou Network Game Channel
Chen Mo tagged those dozens of game medias in one breath, this weibo also hangs an advertis.e.m.e.nt poster and directly using the loading screen of 《Plants vs Zombies》, which is a poster of plants on the left and the zombies on the right.
Ten minutes later, these game medias became active and lively!
The media operators responsible for managing the official Weibo were all blown up, and they smelled big news.
"Chen Mo? wasn"t he the champion of the game design compet.i.tion? designer of 《Flappy Bird》?"
"His new game is being released? It has only been more than three months! This is too fast, let"s witness it together? Does he really think that his game"s first month sales can break 100,000?"
"three months of R&D is just too short, it also includes the time for testing and adjustment! Is it a small game like 《Flappy Bird》?"
"《Flappy Bird》 this kind of game is impossible to copy, if he does a similar game again then he is looking a dead end."
"The name is 《Plants vs Zombies》, it seems that the game content should be quite rich, but it is still a casual game."
"At that time, s.h.i.+ Huazhe a.s.serted that Chen Mo"s first game could not break 100,000 sales in the first month, but Chen Mo is to let everyone witness it together, awesome, is he not afraid to bet?"
"Share this post quickly! Keep track of the data after 《Plants vs Zombies》 gets released!"
These game medias have smelled the big news and one by one they shared Chen Mo"s weibo.
Of course, they know what Chen Mo wants to do, it was nothing more than to heat it up and to promote his new game for free!
However, this was like the story of Zhou Yu[1] beating Huang Gai[2], one was willing to beat and the other was willing to be beaten, while the game media also needs to engage on this hot topic! (Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai was a cla.s.sic Chinese story: During the three kingdom period, Huang Gai was ordered by Zhou Yu to pretend to surrender to Cao Cao. Zhou Yu then pretend beating Huang Gai, then Huang Gai pretended to leave Zhou Yu and due to this, it eventually cost Cao Cao to lost the battle.)
Moreover, even if these game medias don"t hype it, by just relying on the natural spreading of weibo, the popularity of this topic will naturally heat up.
As these game medias forwarded his weibo, more and more players became aware of this news.
Chen Mo"s first significant game, 《Plants vs Zombies》 is going to be released in the app store!
Many people are watching, but the poster still attracted a lot of attention.
Cartoon-ish plants and zombies, this unique style quickly impressed the minds of the players, many people are already looking forward on how the plants will fight the zombies?
And those game medias are more concerned about the data of 《Plants vs. Zombies》, especially the first month sales.
If the sales in the first month is 100,000 at the price of 10 yuan for each, then in total it would be 1 million yuan and he will end up getting 500,000, which is quite an amazing data.
