Seeing off the father and daughter, Chen Mo returned to the experience store.

Nini's story still touched him, mainly because he suddenly realized a problem that he had been ignoring before.

What is the game?

For a designer, games have multiple attributes.

For different groups of people, the game is also different in everyone's eyes.

It may be a work of art, a cultural product that incorporates many design ideas and artistic ideas.

It can be a great form of recreation and the best way to de-stress after work.

It could be a career, it's esports, it's constantly going above and beyond.

It may be "spiritual opium", a "flood beast", a "plaything", something that many people avoid.

Everyone knows that games can move people, they can give people joy, and they can give people negative emotions.

Of course, games can also empty your wallet and make a lot of money for game developers.

But Chen Mo also realized that in the process of rushing to make the game, he seemed to have ignored some of the most original and initial things, that is, the fun brought by the game itself.

In the process from entering the industry to the present, in the eyes of outsiders, Chen Mo has gone smoothly, and all the games have made a lot of money, but in fact, no one can see the hardships involved.

Since entering the industry, Chen Mo has been developing new games almost non-stop, basically ensuring that 3~4 new games are developed every year, and there must be a masterpiece with an investment of more than 100 million yuan.

In addition, in order to be able to accumulate funds faster and make his own game development faster than the speed of progress in the game design concepts of the designers in this world, Chen Mo also made some kryptonite games.

Basically every day at work.

Before game development, do market research, analyze player preferences, and plan game design plans; During the development process, coordinate everyone's progress, and comprehensively control all aspects of the game content, including gameplay, art, music, etc.; Before the game is launched, various ways are used to promote and build momentum; After the game is launched, it collects player feedback for modifications, and then quickly moves into the development of the next game.

It can be said that in the entire team, Chen Mo can replace the role of any person, but no one can replace Chen Mo's role.

Putting aside all other factors, at least in terms of diligence, Chen Mo should not lose to anyone in this world game circle.

Of course, there are Chen Mo's own personality factors, as well as certain external environmental factors.

Although Chen Mo has a lot of classic game ideas, in the game circle, creativity is not valuable.

Compared to the power of channels and capital, creativity is sometimes very fragile.

Therefore, Chen Mo must also be cautious before, because once many opportunities are missed, it will be difficult to seize them.

But after seeing Nini playing "Minecraft", Chen Mo suddenly realized something.

Thunder Interactive Entertainment is now an influential game company, and he is no longer the unknown rookie designer he used to be.

He can slow down a little, and he doesn't have to count every step as precisely as before, and every step is not missed.

Each player should be treated as a living person, not as cold statistics.

It's time to think about something other than making money.

……

On the second floor of the experience store, Chen Mo's own studio.

Lin Xiao handed over a written material to Chen Mo: "Store manager, the renovation of the new store has been basically completed, and it is all done in accordance with your previous plan, this is a detailed report material." ”

Chen Mo stretched out his hand to take it: "Okay, hard work." ”

Lin Xiao asked, "Then, store manager, when are we going to move over?" I'll let you know if the date is set. ”

Chen Mo thought for a moment: "Next week, I can notify everyone now." ”

Lin Xiao nodded: "Okay." ”

After Lin Xiao left, Chen Mo began to look through the report materials.

The location of the new experience store was considered as early as November last year, that is, before the development of "Minecraft", and Lin Xiao also ran almost all over the imperial capital during this time, looking for a lot of places.

In the end, Chen Mo finalized a four-story office building.

The location is in the northeast of the imperial capital, between the third and fourth ring roads, just at the subway entrance. The floor of this office building is relatively low, mainly because there are historical ruins along the line, and it is not allowed to build buildings that are too high, so this building is only built with four floors.

The entire building was originally under construction and was completed in March this year. Chen Mo was satisfied with the structure and location of this building, and directly finalized and bought it.

The price is 46,000 per square meter, and the 4 floors are a total of 6,400 square meters, totaling 290 million. This price is a little more expensive on the whole, but it also has many benefits, one is that the transportation is particularly convenient, the second is that it is relatively close to Chen Mo's current experience store, and the third is that the entire area and number of floors are more in line with Chen Mo's requirements, so I bought it directly.

After the completion in March, I found a special decoration company to design and decorate it, slightly changed the structure of the building, and arranged various decorations inside and outside the building.

Coupled with other messy expenses, as well as the cost of purchasing various equipment in the experience store, Chen Mo spent a total of more than 300 million yuan. So far, the decoration of the new experience store has been completed.

The structure of the entire experience store was planned by Chen Mo himself.

A five-minute walk from the subway exit to the main entrance of the experience store, the lobby on the first floor is the front desk and rest area, there are many sofas for players to rest and chat, and there are special coffee machines and drinks available.

The entrance to the lobby is directly opposite the elevator, and there are two elevators that allow access to the first to fourth floors.

The main usable areas are connected to the two sides of the passage, and the first floor is the PC game experience area, which is similar to the layout of an Internet café. To the left and right of the hall are two areas, which together have a usable area of about 1,200 square meters and a total of 200 computers.

The second floor is the holographic projection viewing area and the mobile game experience area. The second, third, and fourth floors don't need a lobby, but there is a front desk girl who is responsible for receiving players.

The Holographic Projection Viewing Area has a large holographic projection device and two small holographic projection devices, which can display in-game scenes and images through holographic projection.

However, in this world, this holographic projection device is not popular because it is extremely expensive and not very practical. Chen Mo bought it to prepare for future e-sports games.

In addition, there is a huge LED screen on the wall of the viewing area on the second floor, which is also used by players to watch the game, just like the screens for concerts and esports matches.

In the other areas, part of it is the audience seat, and part of it is the mobile game experience area. In addition, there are mobile phones and tablets fixed to the seat next to each seat for players to experience.

The third floor is the VR game experience area, and the experience price of the game will be more expensive, and there is a corresponding time limit, but it is much cheaper than the VR Internet café.
