Chen Mo returned to the experience store.
Su Jinyu said, "Manager, you're back."
Chen Mo nodded, "Yeah, I went to the internet cafe to do some research to get some inspiration for a new game."
Su Jinyu was pleasantly surprised, "Wow, you're working on a new game? Manager sure is productive like a sow. "
Chen Mo was speechless, "… What the heck, can't you use a better analogy?"
Chen Mo grabbed a drink from the side, "Goldfish, how's the mobile game market, have you been paying attention?"
Su Jinyu replied, "Oh, Lifeline's been selling pretty well."
Chen Mo was speechless, "Who asked you that! You're only paying attention to your own game, I'm asking about other games. "
Su Jinyu said, "Uhh, other games? It's just that more and more games are copying I Am MT … Moreover, many tabletop games are copying Thunderbolt Tabletop as well … "
Zheng Hongxi who hadn't said anything added, "Basically half of the mobile game industry is copying you."
Chen Mo said, "Oh, that's good."
Su Jinyu was speechless, "Huh? So many people copying you, that's good? "
Chen Mo said, "What do you know, they're copying me, which means they've lost the ability to think for themselves. They won't make a game that can surpass me."
Su Jinyu said, "Wow, manager, you're dreaming … Demon Slayers is getting close to I Am MT in terms of profit."
Chen Mo said, "It's only getting close, we haven't surpassed it yet, what's the rush? By the way, how much do you guys know about RTS games? "
Su Jinyu said, "Uhh … not much, I'm just an intern."
Zheng Hongxi said, "I'm just a story writer."
Chen Mo was speechless, "Wow, you guys have such low expectations for yourselves. You're both going to be video game designers in the future alright? I'll give you three days to understand all the RTS games on the market and write me a report. "
Su Jinyu was shocked, "Huh? Manager, I can't play games like that … "
Chen Mo said, "It's not like I'm asking you to become a professional gamer, it's fine if you can't do it. Anyways, I want to see the report in three days. You two better write the differences, I don't want to see two identical reports. "
After speaking, Chen Mo went upstairs.
Su Jinyu facepalmed. Gosh, what the hell was a research report? She had never written one before!
…
Back on the second floor, Chen Mo started thinking about the new game.
It wasn't impossible for the next game to be a PC game, but they didn't have enough manpower.
With Zheng Hongxi around, Chen Mo could save a lot of work on the story. Su Jinyu should be able to handle some of the functions and concept art, but the numbers and level design would be a pain in the ass.
Chen Mo had been looking for someone who was good at this, but hadn't found one.
"Numerical values, checkpoints. By the way, check out the forum. "
Chen Mo opened I Am MT's forums to see if there were any experts that had analyzed the numerical system of the game.
The system for Chinese mobile card games was quite complicated. If someone was able to recreate I Am MT's system through numerical analysis, then that person would have a basic understanding of the game.
Chen Mo flipped through a few posts.
"Rubbish game, pay me back my hard-earned money!"
"Analysis of the Metaphysical Drops of Ten Consecutive Draws"
[Tips for Using Time to Swipe Purple Cards]
"The Perfect Lineup Dominates the Arena!"
"What's the best way to top up? V12 will teach you! "
…
After reading a few posts, Chen Mo silently pressed ctrl + w.
How unsightly!
Pseudoscience like "Metaphysical Drops of Ten Consecutive Draws" and "Using Time to Swipe Purple Cards" were all highlighted, making Chen Mo feel like he still had a long way to go to popularize probability.
Chen Mo didn't give up and opened up the Thunderbolt Poker forums.
In fact, there was quite a bit of numerical knowledge used in Texas hold 'em. If someone was able to calculate a similar win rate for the various cards in Texas hold' em, then they would be considered talented in numerical analysis.
Chen Mo flipped through a few posts.
"Offline Thunderbolt Poker Club Add Group xxxxx"
"Offline Thunderbolt Poker Club Add Group xxxxx"
"Offline Thunderbolt Poker Club Add Group xxxxx"
…
Chen Mo silently pressed the report button, then pressed ctrl + w.
What a scam!
Chen Mo was in despair. These players are so lazy, can't anyone use a more scientific method to study the rules of the game?
Hmm, a game where you get stronger by topping up money is more suitable for everyone.
Chen Mo then opened up the Plants vs Zombies forums, but to his surprise, the highest post was an introduction for a mod!
"Introducing my own mod, plants and zombies all stats increased, adding eight plants and five zombies."
The title was ridiculously long, but the post was very popular. It was posted two weeks ago, and the replies had already reached over a hundred pages.
Chen Mo was curious. He opened up Plants vs Zombies and found out that the most popular mod was the one made by this player.
Chen Mo tried it out and found out that the main changes to the mod were the addition of eight plants and five zombies. But unlike other mods, the author reconstructed the stats of the plants and zombies to keep the difficulty within a reasonable range.
Although this mod wasn't the most imaginative, it was the most complete and balanced, which was why it was so popular among the players.
"Hmm, the author isn't bad, let's see if I can get him."
Chen Mo used the Thunderbolt Game Pass to find the author's phone number.
"Hello?" It was another male voice.
Hmm, why did he say 'again'?
Chen Mo said, "Hi, I'm the creator of Plants vs Zombies, Chen Mo."
The other person said, "Oh, hi."
Chen Mo said, "Uhh, don't you suspect my identity at all? Aren't you afraid that I'm an imposter? "
The other person laughed, "Who would dare to impersonate you nowadays? You'll be beaten to death by angry players. "
Chen Mo was speechless.
The other person said, "Just kidding, don't mind me. My name is Qian Kun, oh, not that Qian Kun, it's Kun as in Kunpeng. "
Chen Mo said, "Oh, you're the Kun as in Yu Ribi, right? I know."
Qian Kun said, "… Ahem, I actually quite admire you."
Chen Mo was delighted, "Huh? Really? "
Qian Kun said, "Yeah, before you made I Am MT."
Chen Mo was speechless.
Qian Kun said, "But after you made I Am MT, I admire you even more. I think you're amazing to be able to make a game so profitable through the use of stats!"
Chen Mo was speechless. Why is this kid taking so long to speak?
"Do you want to learn?" asked Chen Mo.
Qian Kun said, "Of course I do!"
