Chapter 90: Dark Tide

Everyone watched in amazement as Chen Mo put away all the chips and stacked them all in front of him. Now he has nearly three times as many chips as others.

Chen Mo divided his chips into six parts, each of which was more than four hundred.

"Come on, let's divide the chips." Chen Mo said, dividing the chips among the remaining six people, one for each person, including Lin Hua, who had no chips.

Su Jinyu was stunned: "Huh? Store manager, aren't you playing? ”

Chen Mo smiled: "Yes, it's too bullying to play cards with you, and if you are here, you will be very boring." ”

Wen Lingwei was surprised: "Oh my God, the store manager was so generous!" I thought you'd win the prize yourself! ”

Chen Mo smiled: "Okay, you all know the rules, you guys fight, I still have to go back to write the design document." Jia Peng, deal your cards well. ”

Everyone put away the chips that Chen Mo gave them and continued to play.

Chen Mo looked at two more hands of cards, and after confirming that everyone had mastered the rules, he returned to the second floor to continue sorting out the design documents.

Chen Mo taught these people to play Texas Hold'em, mainly to confirm how accepted Texas Hold'em was in this world. It's also a rehearsal for promoting the game.

The rules of Texas Hold'em are extremely complete, as they have been proven in countless tournaments in previous lives, and can be said to be flawless. However, how to use its characteristics to promote "Thunder Chess"? This is the main problem that Chen Mo is considering.

Like Texas Hold'em, the popularity of Texas Hold'em in foreign countries is mainly because some professional players can make a stable profit in Poker, in the final analysis, it is because of money, money is the most effective stimulus.

But Chen Mo can't do this, firstly, playing money is a crowd gambling, which is illegal, and secondly, gambling is socially harmful, and Chen Mo doesn't want to cause some people to die because of a game he made.

Therefore, Chen Mo's idea is to cut off the gambling attributes in Depo to the greatest extent and promote it in the way of competitions. Let players experience the fun of Depo by playing Happy Beans.

Just like fighting landlords and mahjong, removing the gambling attributes, they are all good chess and card games.

In the previous life, many bigwigs in the technology and investment circles liked to play Depo, and it was not all because of money, these people were all worth more than 100 million, so they would not rely on playing Depo to make money.

For them, Poker is a puzzle game, much like entrepreneurship and investment, which is to judge the behavior of the other party, and decide the strategy for the other party, and stop the loss in time when the danger is found.

After verifying that Texas Hold'em also has a strong attraction to people in this world, Chen Mo already has a preliminary promotion plan in mind, through this plan, he can maximize the users of other chess and card games, let them experience the fun of Texas Hold'em, and finally stay.

……

As the days passed, the development plans for Lifeline and Thunder Chess were steadily advancing.

In the first Derpo competition, Zheng Hongxi finally defeated Wen Lingwei with his anti-heaven European emperor attribute and won a prize of 5,000 yuan.

Chen Mo also made a small trophy, and the trophy was engraved with words: "The First Thunder Poker Internal Tournament Champion".

Since then, everyone's interest has been aroused, and several people have nothing to do every day in the conference room to play poker, and they all hold their breath to wait for the next week to win the first place and get the prize and trophy.

To everyone's surprise, the deeper they played, the more hidden doorways they discovered, and it was a veritable "easy to play, hard to master" game.

And after two weeks, the vast majority of people are already addicted to this type of poker.

Of course, this is under the premise that there is a prize stimulus.

If it weren't for these thousands of dollars in prizes, these people would be in a state of low interest.

As for the plot of "Lifeline", it is also constantly improving, and Zheng Hongxi doesn't know how many drafts he has changed, but it is indeed becoming more and more complicated and interesting.

Chen Mo smoothed out the time of all the dialogues, basically ensuring that the rhythm of the entire game was the same as in his previous life. Of course, there are certainly differences in the specific text content, but the impact is not significant.

The two games this time are very simple for Chen Mo, so including art resources, it will be done in a month, and the next thing is to continue to tune and modify some user experience and details.

In this month, the seemingly calm mobile game circle is actually brewing a dark tide.

Chen Mo heard the news through some miscellaneous channels alone, and at least three or four game companies are developing card games similar to "My name is MT".

This is only what Chen Mo has heard, and it is estimated that there are more people who have not heard of it. In terms of progress, these games will be developed in two months at the fastest and four months at the slower, and they will all be developed and launched one after another.

The mobile game market is very likely to usher in a wave of card game craze like Chen Mo's previous life, and players will once again experience the fear of being dominated by card games.

These card games may have different artistic expressions and different themes, but one thing is definitely the same, that is, their monetization models and numerical structures are definitely highly borrowed from "My name is MT".

However, Chen Mo didn't care at all, for him, it wasn't exactly bad news.

"My name is MT" has firmly occupied the first-mover advantage, and the subsequent pile of card games will always live in the shadow of "My name is MT", and it is impossible to shake the status of "My name is MT".

Instead, these games will objectively have the effect of "expanding the user base of card games".

Of course, these fast-handed game developers will inevitably make a lot of money, but this is an inevitable thing, for Chen Mo, you earn and I will earn, but I can earn more than you.

Moreover, a big flood of card games also happened to distract the attention of the game circle, and Chen Mo had more space to pave the way for his future planning.

What really threatens "My Name is MT" is "Dota Legend", a game that comprehensively innovates and surpasses the original domestic cards in terms of gameplay, but Chen Mo estimates that it will take a year for other designers to reach the design level of "Dota Legend" at the earliest.

Because the original cards originally belonged to the type of game that made money lying down, under the stimulation of this strong profitability, most designers would lose their enterprising spirit, or even fall into the "comfort zone", unwilling to make innovations in the gameplay of the original cards.

Only when players are tired of playing and completely tired of it, will the designers seek new changes and reform the gameplay of the original cards.

In the time of this year, Chen Mo can do too many things.
