Chapter 37: Visiting the Door

Chen Mo is flipping through the comments and forum posts of "Plants vs. Zombies".

If you want to update the version, the main thing is to see what players like and want. If a new version is updated but does not address the core demands of players, it is equivalent to doing nothing.

At this time, Chen Mo noticed that there was a girl at the door of the experience store, with jeans and a long ponytail, dressed neatly.

"Zhuo Yao?" Chen Mo remembered her name.

This girl is the owner of the Zhiyuan Internet Cafe, and she has been here before, just when Chen Mo's experience store first opened.

Zhuo Yao looked at the first floor of the experience store with some surprise: "Wow, I haven't been here for more than a month, your experience store is so lively!" I remember the last time I was empty? ”

Chen Mo said: "Of course, your Internet café can't be open for a month, and there is no one, right?" ”

Zhuo Yao was speechless: "You can't say that, can your experience store be the same as an Internet café?" Hey, it looks like you're making a good game, so many people play it. ”

Zhuo Yao leaned back on the sofa, and Chen Mo poured her a glass of water.

"You said last time you would come back another day, and this time it has been changed for more than a month." Chen Mo quipped.

"Hey, don't mention it, there are too many things in the Internet café, I can't leave." Zhuo Yao said, "And recently I have been addicted to a small game. ”

Chen Mo asked, "Addicted to a little game?" ”

Zhuo Yao nodded: "Yes, it's the "Plants vs. Zombies" that has been very popular recently, you didn't play it?" As a game designer, it's impossible not to pay attention to the new game charts, right? ”

Chen Mo said, "Uh...... I played it. ”

Zhuo Yao Yile: "I know, tell me quickly, how many levels have you played in endless mode?" I've hit level 97, and I'm going to level 100 soon! ”

Chen Mo: "......"

Zhuo Yao noticed that Chen Mo's expression was a little strange, and thought that he was embarrassed that he had too few levels: "It's okay, I can teach you, my own routine is amazing, I will let you go through the first fifty levels!" ”

Chen Mo pointed to a computer in the distance, where a girl was playing: "She has already hit level 174." ”

"Huh?!" Zhuo Yao was stunned, what do you mean?

She stood up and looked at the girl, she looked like she was a good girl, she should be a student at a nearby university, how could she be more powerful than staying up all night to have fun?

Wait a minute!

When Zhuo Yao first entered the door, she didn't pay attention to what games these people were playing, but now that she looked at a few machines, she suddenly noticed something.

It seems like the whole floor is playing Plants vs. Zombies?

This is an experience store, and in the experience store, you can only play the designer's own games.

Could it be ......

Zhuo Yao looked at Chen Mo: "Could it be that the author of "Plants vs. Zombies" ......?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, it's exactly below." ”

Zhuo Yao was stunned for three seconds, and suddenly realized: "I'm dizzy!" You made this game! I also said, why is the logo of the opening of this game so familiar, I have seen it in front of your store! ”

Chen Mo was speechless: "I said, you are not forgetful to this extent, your Internet café is across the street, but you can't even remember my logo?" ”

Zhuo Yao was a little embarrassed, and said with a dry cough: "Ahem, this, you also know that we have been staying in the Internet café all year round, that ...... Right. ”

Chen Mo nodded and agreed: "Mmmm, yes." ”

Zhuo Yao laughed "poof": "What is it, forget it, I won't have anything to do with you, quickly teach me the secret of "Plants vs. Zombies"!" ”

Chen Mo was speechless: "Why are you all like this, you want a secret when you see me, there are not many high-quality posts in the player community, go there to find it." ”

Zhuo Yao rolled her eyes: "Stingy." ”

Chen Mo: "......"

How can anything be related to stinginess! It has nothing to do with whether I'm stingy or not, it's obvious that you're lazy!

Zhuo Yao said: "Hey, but then again, I really didn't expect you, a rookie designer, to be able to make such an awesome hit game, it's amazing." Unfortunately, mobile games are not suitable for promotion in my internet café. ”

Chen Mo said: "It's okay, I will also do Duanyou in the future." By the way, I haven't asked, are your Internet cafes mainly PC games or VR games? ”

Zhuo Yao said: "PC." I also want to change to a VR Internet café, but the initial investment is too large, and I don't have that much money. Now the status of PC Internet cafes is indeed a bit embarrassing, and I have been struggling with this matter for a long time. ”

Chen Mo said: "Well, I know, the main thing is that the games on the PC side are squeezed by VR games, and they seem to be a little declining." ”

"So." Zhuo Yao was a little helpless, "In the future, VR Internet cafes will definitely still be the mainstream, and PC Internet cafes are estimated to be slowly eliminated." ”

Chen Mo shook his head: "That's not necessarily. ”

Zhuo Yao was stunned: "Why?" ”

Chen Mo said: "It's very simple, PC Internet cafes are in decline now, just because there is no super popular game on the PC side. What if there is really a super hit game on PC in the future that can crush VR games? ”

Zhuo Yao's eyes widened slightly: "Not really...... Possibly. ”

Chen Mo said: "Just because it doesn't appear now doesn't mean it won't appear in the future." Before Plants vs. Zombies came out, who would have thought that there would be such a big market for puzzle games? ”

Zhuo Yao thought for three seconds: "So, are you praising yourself in disguise?" ”

Chen Mo nodded: "That's right." ”

Zhuo Yao: "......"

Chen Mo said: "The truth is such a truth. I think you can continue to stick to PC Internet cafes, the outlook is not as pessimistic as you think. You see, PCs are crushing mobile phones in terms of performance, but mobile games are still alive and well. The fact that the VR game pod comprehensively crushes the PC in terms of performance does not mean that PC games are not good. ”

Zhuo Yao nodded: "It sounds quite reasonable, then I will borrow your auspicious words, I hope you can develop a super hit game on the PC side to save my Internet café by then." When did you start R&D? ”

Chen Mo thought for a moment: "Probably...... Within two years? ”

Zhuo Yao rolled her eyes: "Goodbye." ”

Chen Mo Yile: "I'm serious. ”

Zhuo Yao: "Goodbye." ”

It seemed that she thought Chen Mo was bluffing her, but she didn't believe it at all.

Chen Mo's words were not to comfort Zhuo Yao, he really thought so. Although VR games are mainstream in this world, he doesn't feel that PC games will be replaced.

VR games aren't necessarily the ultimate form of gaming.

A very simple example, why are MOBA games all 45-degree God perspectives instead of first-person?

It is true that some game companies have tried to make the moba a full 3D first-person, and it has been made, and it is very well made, and even played a gimmick of five roads (two more roads above and two below the map), but the final result is not satisfactory, and the playability is far inferior to the moba.

The game didn't even make too many waves, and not many players had heard of it.

The reason is very simple, in the 3D perspective, the screening range and use of many skills have changed a lot, the operation mode has also changed, the player's ability to control the overall situation has been seriously reduced, and all kinds of problems have combined to make this game directly lose some of the core fun of moba games, making it a "chicken rib" game.

This is one of the most critical factors that led to the failure of "full 3Dmoba".
