"d.a.m.n, such a vast settings? In addition, this ill.u.s.trations…"
"Ugh, so many characters, f*ck it."
"Eh, this seems to be an improved western fantasy world setting."
The viewer"s reactions are different, many impatient viewers who had just turned on had then turned it off. Of course, there are also viewers who were particularly interested in this, they took note of some of the settings and the story backgrounds in details.
In the parallel world, the number of people who love fantasy is as small as the one in Chen Mo"s previous world. Moreover, even if many people are not particularly fond of fantasy, they will not at least have an aversion to this genre.
"Azeroth Universe" was compiled by Chen Mo according to the background story of World of Warcraft in his previous world, accompanied by some ill.u.s.trations. These ill.u.s.trations are mainly concept drafts of various races, scenery, items, and so on. Although those are relatively simple, but they are much stronger than plain words.
Finally, the 24-hour views of 《I am MT》 came out, and the first episode have been watch 1.3 million times on the entire network!
Chen Mo didn"t manage to sleep well that night. After all, for him, this anime is a completely unfamiliar field, and he has no idea to what extent he can achieve.
However, after seeing this data, Chen Mo was slightly relieved.
The first day"s views is not very high, but it is also not low. At least compared with average series, it has a fairly good data. Of course, it can"t compare to those super popular series.
It must be known that 《Plants vs Zombies》 has sold more than 1 million copies so far. These people are all paying attention to Chen Mo"s new game.
Combined with the reputation of Dazzling Aurora Studio, the recommendation spot of the video site, the heat that was caused by the betting previously, and the reports of major game medias, 《I am MT》, which has attracted a large number of player"s attention since its launch. Therefore, in the following week, there should be another burst of views.
Chen Mo is more concerned about the viewer"s comments than the amount of views.
Overall, there are few negative comments, and they are all focused on "short time" and "insufficient background introduction". As for those favorable comments, they are mainly about "original theme", "pleasing settings", "witty humor" and so on.
The amount of viewers in the next two episodes has decreased, but this is normal.
Moreover, with the ever-increasing views of 《I am MT》, the anime will become more and more popular on major video sites. According to Guo Feng"s estimation, they should be able to get several major recommendations on the mainpage of many video sites in a week!
By then, more viewers will get interested.

Qiu Bin was also paying a close attention to this matter.
He has finished watching the third episode of 《I am MT》, as he began frowning.
Qiu Bin was slightly confused, what exactly is this? He hasn"t heard anything about Chen Mo"s game yet, but he has instead went to make an anime?
Although 《I am MT》"s anime"s popularity is not bad, but in Qiu Bin"s view, this is unscrupulous. Even if the anime is related with the game, how much can it convert viewers into players?
It must be known that many anime lovers do not play games, and gamers will not pay for the game because of an anime. After all, it will still depends on the quality of the game.
In this world, some popular IPs are indeed very expensive, but they are generally used for film adaptations. Even if a few IPs are sold to game companies, they are generally used to make large-scale VR games.
How long has Chen Mo been in business? He"s currently just a C-cla.s.s game designer, and now he wants to take the path of making anime into games? Isn"t he naive?
Qiu Bin kept thinking from left to right, and he still thought that the path Chen Mo took doesn"t make any sense. At first, he was worried, but now he is much more at ease.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
As time goes by, with the increasing popularity of 《I am MT》"s anime, the R&D of 《I am MT》"s mobile game is advancing smoothly and orderly.
《I am MT》"s anime data has been growing since it got released. On the third day, it was on the main page recommendation and hot list of many video sites, and a hot search topic on Weibo.
The first week of the first episode is 3.29 million, and two months after the release of the anime, the grand total number of viewers of all the 10 episodes of the first season is more than 50 million!
Chen Mo was still thinking about whether to continue the second season, but Guo Feng"s att.i.tude was much more determined than him. At Guo Feng"s strong request, Chen Mo used the super accelerator to make the second season"s script and storyboard.
The anime is a bit popular, although far from the one in his previous world, but in Chen Mo"s opinion, this is enough.
What"s more, to Chen Mo"s surprise, many viewers showed extraordinary enthusiasm for the "Azeroth Universe". In the video comment area, and the official website of the "Azeroth Universe", many players left messages discussing the story background, and some of them has even produced their own fan fiction.
In view of this, Chen Mo rushed to work urgently and opened a forum section on the website of "Azeroth Universe". The name of the forum is the same as that of his previous life, it"s called "National Geographic of Azeroth" (NGA). Players can log in directly with the use of Thunder Game Pa.s.s and publish their original content freely, including cultural activity, fan art and so on.
At this time, it is the last month before the game gets release. The content of 《I am MT》, and all the art resources are in place. Later, Chen Mo can mainly carry out a series of tests, and installing the game on the mobile phone and tablets of the experience shop.
"Haah, finally it"s done."
Chen Mo took a breath.
In his opinion, the game has been completed and fully meet the standards of getting release. The next thing to do is just to adjust it according to the player"s experience.
These adjustments are mainly concentrated in 3 aspects, Game Duration, Difficulty of the levels, and Price. Although he have enough experience in his previous life on these 3 aspects, Chen Mo is still not sure whether the players in this world can adapt to it.
Chen Mo came downstairs, and in the first floor, the projector is showing the episode 2 of the second season of 《I am MT》"s anime.
By the second season. the anime"s duration has been extended to 24 minutes, the content is much more rich than episode 1, and correspondingly, the cost has doubled.
Chen Mo has invested nearly 2 months of his profits of 《Plants vs Zombies》 in order to do the second season.
After all, 《Plants vs Zombies》 is a standalone game and its subsequent profit will decline definitely. Why was Chen Mo so anxious in making a card game? It is because he hopes to get rid of his current embarra.s.sing situation as soon as possible, only when he has money and ability can he make the great works that have been praised and won the throne in his previous world.
There was a lot of discussion after the second episode was aired.
"Wow, I felt like entering a grand world."
"I used to think that the human camps were all villains, and had thought that this anime is about against human… But turns out, there seems to be good stories on the human side."
"Watching it now after the duration got extended is better."
"Need to wait for another week."
“Yea, but we got it faster than the video sites. We have the premiere.”
Chen Mo turned off the projection and said to everyone, "I have good news to everyone. The mobile game of 《I am MT》 has been completed and can be played."
"Is that right? Manager, Congratulation! I"m gonna play it right now." Said Jia Peng.
Wen Lingwei handed her phone to Jia Peng, "Install it for me."
Su Jinyu also silently installed 《I am MT》 on her phone.
